Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350 

Patrick’s start wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, so the pressure quickly landed on Cameron’s shoulders. 

Cameron, being the savvy businessman he was, knew that Nellie and Greta’s bond wasn’t quite strong enough for her to willingly donate a kidney. So, he decided to bite the bullet and sacrifice his own significant interests. 

He went straight to Nellie with a bold confession. “Nel, I think I might have caught feelings for you. I’m willing to marry you. But-” He was about to lay out the terms of their marriage when Nellie, stunned by his sudden admission, touched his forehead and shook her head, puzzled. “You don’t have a fever, so why are you talking crazy? Cam, is Griffin pushing you to tie the knot quickly? If that’s the case, I can marry you, but it’ll have to be a fake marriage. We’ll split after a year. That way, you can keep my dad off your back…” 

Cameron was taken aback. He had always thought of himself as a hot commodity; any woman he fancied should come running at the mere wag of his finger. Yet, Nellie kept a polite distance, giving him a wake–up call. 

This girl had brains. Without true love, she wasn’t about to settle for anything less. So, he switched tactics from trying to entice her to genuinely winning her over. 

He started spending more time with her and even had his secretary pick out gifts. However, Nellie just tucked his gifts away in a drawer. Amid Cameron’s persistent pursuit, she finally asked, “Cam, why have you been unusually free lately?” 

Feeling a bit sheepish, Cameron replied, “No, I’ve been busy.” 

“Then why do you have so much time for me?” 

“Isn’t it obvious? I’m trying to win you over.” Cameron said, his ears turning red. 

It wasn’t hormones causing this reaction–it was the shame of his own scheming. Still, when Nellie saw his red ears, she couldn’t help but believe him. His approach was so intense that his sweet talk came off naturally. 

This led people to misunderstand their relationship, with the media spinning tales of a prince charming nurturing his love. He adored the girl he saved and supported. 

Despite Nellie’s sharp mind and awareness, she’d always been starved for affection. The slightest bit of attention from someone as impressive as Cameron caused her to lose her bearings. 

She eventually fell for Cameron, and so, their roles flipped. Cameron used to pick her up, but now she was the one chauffeuring him. His gestures used to bring her to tears, but now she was the one doing laundry and cooking soup for him. 

Cameron and Nellie’s mutual devotion finally took a toll on Greta. 

As his official girlfriend, Greta confronted Cameron, “Cameron, I’m not happy. You’re way too attentive to Nellie. I’m getting jealous.” Cameron felt a deep pang of guilt. He couldn’t stand seeing Greta upset, and so he was unwilling to keep the charade with Nellie going. He came clean with Nellie, “Nel, your sister and I go way back, though our fates never really aligned. Seeing her suffer now break’s my. heart.” 

“Patrick mentioned that you two share a blood type, and since you’re related, the chances of a successful kidney donation are high. Nel, I know it’s a big ask, and while donating a kidney won’t threaten your life, it might affect your health.” He made a solemn promise, “But rest assured, I’ll marry you and treat you well for the rest of your life. You won’t have to worry about a thing. I’ll make sure you live a carefree life and ensure a peaceful end.” 

“Do you love her?” Nellie asked, straight to the point. Her eyes were clear and sincere, without a hint of doubt.
