Chapter 354
Cameron's obvious pulling away sent alarm bells ringing for the sensitive and fragile Greta. So, she started to pop up around Nellie and Cameron more often, always finding a way to be part of their scene. During these encounters, Greta made sure to show extra care towards her brother-in-law in subtle ways. One time at dinner, for instance - she'd serve him food like it was the most natural thing in the world. Cameron, oblivious to Nellie's shocked and questioning glances, accepted her gestures without a second thought. Even when Cameron was about to head out, Greta would grab his tie and insist on tying it for him, leaving Nellie absolutely flabbergasted.
Greta and Cameron were lost in the thrill of their affair, too wrapped up in their own world to notice or care about Nellie's feelings. It wasn't until Cameron eventually picked up on Nellie's skepticism that he casually brushed it off, saying, "Don't overthink it. Your sister's a fashion blogger, so she's just really into picking out ties for me."
Nellie nodded, though a bit awkwardly, and couldn't help but add, "I just think, as a married man, you should keep a respectable distance from other women. Cameron, staying true in both action and thought is for your good and hers too." Then, she turned and walked away. Cameron felt the sting of shame on his cheeks; Nellie's words gnawed at his conscience.
Once Greta was back on her feet health-wise, Cameron approached her, speaking with calm honesty, "Greta, maybe we should keep our distance from now on. I married Nellie, and I owe it to her to be responsible."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Tears rolled down Greta's cheeks as she said, "If I had known that accepting her kidney would mean losing your love, I would rather not have lived at all."
Cameron was torn. "Greta, we made this choice. We can't have it all without facing the consequences, right?"
Greta seemed to agree with
Cameron's decision, but once he was out the door, her eyes turned cold. Furious, she smashed a teacup on the floor, yelling, "Nellie! Nellie, you took my boyfriend. I won't let
you get away with this "tent
Determined, she trawled through Nellie's social media, even crafting a fake profile to slyly get close to her She changed her social network settings so only Nellie could see daily posts of her and Cameron during their lovey-dovey days.
Seeing these pictures, Nellie went from shock to anger over being lied to and finally let out a heartbroken, gut-wrenching cry. "Cameron, you lied to me. You've always loved her and not me. Why did you deceive me?"
That night, hit hard by the brutal
truth, Nellie found herself running a
fever. The high temperature wreaked havoc on her body as she was still recovering from surgery. It caused her lone kidney to react badly, leading to blood in her urine.
Panicking at the sight of the blood-red urine, she called Cameron in desperation. "Cameron, I think I'm really sick. Can you take me to the hospital?"
However, it was Greta who picked up. "Oh, Nellie, Cameron's really busy right now. I'll have him call you back."
Feeling weak and feverish, Nellie pleaded, "Please, I'm really not feeling well. Can you let Cameron come to the phone?"
"Nel, you need to understand. I told you, Cameron's busy," Greta said, then hung up the phone.
