Chapter 360
Stubborn and headstrong. Nellie found herself up against the odds. She had gathered evidence of Patrick and the doctor’s wrongdoing but never imagined Cameron would be the one to thwart her efforts.
It all stemmed from Greta’s tearful plea to Cameron. “Cameron, you know my dad better than anyone. He’s always been a loving and doted on his daughters. He adores me, and he’d do even more for Nellie. He feels he owes her so much and wants to ma right with her.”
“My dad’s intentions were for Nellie’s well–being. He thought she wasn’t ready for a pregnancy after her kidney transplant. He feared she’d reject his advice and discreetly contacted the doctor to handle it quietly, hoping she’d miscarry. Why does Nellie have to hold onto his mistake? He was only trying to protect her.”
Cameron felt his heart shatter at Greta’s tears. He helped her up and promised, “Greta, don’t worry. I won’t hold your dad accountable But to calm things with your sister, he needs to apologize to her personally.”
reta, overwhelmed with relief, cried even more. “Okay.”
Cameron organized a family dinner to mend the rift between Nellie and Patrick. Greta arrived in a dazzling evening gown, while Nelle who had just given birth, showed signs of weariness. Her figure had changed, her face was a bit swollen, and the emotional toll was evident in her pale, worn–out appearance.
Greta cornered Nellie in the bathroom, mocking her, “Look at you, Nel. You’re so plain. How could Cameron or my dad ever choose you over me?”
Nellie, seething, grabbed Greta’s collar. “What do you mean by that?”
Greta smirked, “What do I mean? Even if I were to harm your daughter, Dad and Cameron would still side with me without a second thought.”
Nellie’s eyes burned with anger. “I knew you pushed Dad to hurt my daughter. Greta, I’m your sister, and I’ve even saved your life. How can you be so heartless?”
Just then, someone walked in. Spotting him, Greta quickly turned on the waterworks, “Nel, I’m apologizing for Dad. Don’t be mad, you’re still recovering, and stress isn’t good for you.”
Cameron saw Nellie gripping Greta tightly and rushed over, pushing her aside. “Nellie, have you lost it? She’s your sister, and you know she’s not well. How could you hurt her?”
Feigning weakness, Greta nestled into Cameron’s embrace. “Cameron, don’t blame her. She’s just upset. When she realized I was pleading on Dad’s behalf, she couldn’t hold back…”
Nellie was pushed to the floor, hit her head, and felt a sharp pain, but Greta’s theatrics enraged her more. She pointed at Greta, fuming. “You should’ve been an actress.”
Greta clung to Cameron. “Cameron, I’m feeling dizzy and unwell.
Cameron supported Greta and left the room. Before leaving, he threw a parting shot at Nellie, “Nellie, your dad and sister have gone to great lengths to apologize. Isn’t that enough for you?”
