Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 740

Guilt gnawed at him.

He was still Greta's husband in the eyes of the law, yet he'd just stood by, watching her struggle without lifting a finger. It felt downright cold and heartless.

After wolfing down his meal, he gave Nina a quick pat on the head and said, "Nina, your private tutor will be here soon. Make sure you study well, okay? I'll check your homework when I get back."

"Okay, Daddy. Come home early, okay?" Nina chirped.

"I will," he promised, heading out the door.

Cameron rushed to the hospital, straight to Greta's room. When she saw him, her face was calm, almost indifferent.

"You're here?"

Cameron rubbed his nose awkwardly, trying to mask the guilt bubbling inside. "Sorry for neglecting you these past few days."

In the past, Greta would've thrown a fit, demanding gifts and apologies until she felt appeased. But this time, she was unusually gentle and understanding, simply saying, "It's okay." Those two words glossed over all her pent-up bitterness and resentment.

Her calmness only made Cameron more uneasy. "Are you mad?"

"No."

"In the past, if I didn't cater to you, you'd have a meltdown."

"Cameron, Nathalie was right: you can't truly own what's stolen."

Tears started to well up in Greta's eyes. "My health isn't going to hold out much longer. I've lost my youth and beauty, and I know I can't keep your heart. So, I'm not going to use our marriage to hold you back anymore. I'm letting you go."

In that moment, Cameron realized he couldn't let Greta go. He held her hand tightly, his eyes moistening. "Greta, don't say things like that. I'm not giving up on you."

"We're halfway through our lives. We've spent the first half tangled up with each other. There's no reason to abandon each other now."

Whether it was the memory of his youthful pursuit or lingering feelings for Greta, Cameron found himself determined to fight for her once more. He realized the doctors in the nephrology department were refusing to treat Greta—a ploy by Lincoln and Nathalie to get back at her. So, he immediately arranged for Greta to be transferred to another hospital.
