Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Lincoln was taken aback. This kid, Nathan, despite his physical challenges, was fiercely independent. He rarely ever asked for help. You could see his good upbringing in every little thing he did. Even though Lincoln had given him a hard time more than once, Nathan was always as sunny and forgiving as ever. In that moment, Lincoln couldn't help but admire him.

"Nathan, leave the dishes. Let me help you with those," Lincoln offered.

Lincoln couldn't resist complimenting him, "How did someone as meticulous as your father end up with such a well-mannered kid like you?"

Morris casually replied, "I was brought up by Nathalie."
