Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 562

Nathalie was left to care for Miranda. She had to see Miranda through her twilight years, even though her heart wasn't in it. Most of Nathalie's childhood wounds came courtesy of Miranda. Yet, after discovering her own backstory and realizing her very existence had wrecked Miranda's marriage, Nathalie pitifully accepted that maybe she deserved all Miranda's bitterness.

Their mother-daughter bond felt more like a tangled mess of ill fate.

Nathalie, hit hard by these revelations, grew visibly worn out, retreating into a shell and becoming more withdrawn by the day.

For the first time, Nathan went against Nathalie's wishes, fuming, "Why treat her well? Sure, she raised

the lady, but her child abuse is undeniable. The lady's survival wasn't her doing; it was pure luck and resilience on the lady's part."

The servants nodded quickly, "Yes, we get it now."
