Chapter 366 Feeling for Nellie, the priest kindly performed a simple ceremony for Nina for free. He advised Nellie, "You need to bury her at East Woods, where the sun rises, exactly at midnight tonight. It'll help her soul find peace and reincarnate." Desperate to do right by her daughter, Nellie swallowed her pride and tried calling Cameron again. She hoped he, as the father, would help their daughter one last tby taking her to East Woods. However, she just couldn't get through to him.
As Nellie left the church, she hadn't noticed when the sky started dumping thick snowflakes. The ground was already layered with snow and ice.
Heartbroken, Nellie carried her daughter, struggling through the snowy landscape. She's already frail and exhausted from everything she had been through with her daughter, and now each step was a battle.

You couldn't protect her when she was alive, and now you can't even help her in death. No wonder Cameron looks down on you." She curled up, sobbing as her tears melted into the snow.
Just then, her phone buzzed with a gut-wrenching notification. A picture showed Cameron and Greta flaunting their European vacation online.
Nellie felt a sharp pain and spat out blood.
It was like all her strength had vanished, leaving her crumpled on the ground. Only her eyes still held a flicker of life.
At that moment, a luxury car roared in like a tornado and stopped in front of Nellie. The driver, a man with an air of nobility, kicked open the door. His handsface was etched with urgency.
He almost knelt down. His tall figure and black trench coat made him look like a guardian angel watching over her. Compassion filled his eyes.
"Mr. Rowland..." Nellie recognized him. He was Cameron's rival, Nathan Though younger, Nathan was known for his bold and ruthless ways, having climbed to a high position at a young age.
Nellie believed in the saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even though Nathan was way out of her league, she hoped he might do her a favor. "Speak," Nathan's voice was surprisingly gentle, not at all what she expected.

He carefully took Nina from Nellie's arms and gently placed her in the car. Then he returned, lifting Nellie and setting her beside her daughter.
"Thank you, Mr. Rowland." Nellie thought Nathan probably didn't realize he was holding a dead body; otherwise, why would he be so eager to help? After all, having a dead body in such a fancy car might be seen as bad luck.
Nellie was in turmoil the whole ride.
Nathan was trying to help, but she was hiding the truth about her rel daughter's death. If he found out, he would probably be angry.
Nathan delivered Nellie to East Woods. He turned to see Nellie, who was tearfully apologizing, looking at him with shame. "Mr. Nathan, I'm sorry... I..."
"I had no other choice. I had to bring
my daughter here. Thank you for helpingfulfill my last wish. Mr Ty last wish Nathan wish you a bright future and a smooth journey through life."
