Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 576 Nathan read the message, a dark cloud passing over his face, and promptly deleted it. Frustrated, he slammed his laptop shut, a rare crack in his usually composed demeanor. In his agitation, he found himself tugging at his hair, a gesture of stress he'd never succumbed to before.

Restless, he paced the room, his eyes flickering towards the door as if drawn by an invisible thread. His longing for Nathalie was undeniable, and before he knew it, he was back in her room.

This time, he pulled a chair up to her bedside, sitting silently and taking in the sight of her peaceful face. His eyes were filled with a tender affection and a longing that spoke volumes about his feelings for her. Unable to resist, he gently took her hand, pressing it to his cheek, feeling the warmth seep into him. Time lost its meaning, and he drifted into a deep sleep without realizing it.

The next morning, Nathalie awoke to find Nathan still there, her hand under his cheek. He hadn't even changed out of his clothes, a testament to the hurried nature of his visit, yet he hadn't forgotten her.

A pang of guilt hit Nathalie as she thought of all the times she'd doubted him. Carefully, she withdrew her hand and softly caressed his cheek.

"I'm sorry, Nathan. I shouldn't have doubted you," she thought, her heart heavy with regret.

Nathan seemed to sense her presence, his eyes fluttering open, a smile spreading across his face like the first bloom of spring.

"Hey, you're awake?" he said, firmly holding her hand, planting a gentle kiss on its back.

"Nathan, come get some proper sleep," Nathalie replied softly.
