Chapter 152
Cameron gently held her hand, offering comfort. “Greta, just focus on getting better. I’ll be here for you this whole month.”
Greta felt a flicker of emotion. She turned to him. “When Nellie lost her baby, you seemed so indifferent. But now, with my miscarriage, you’re all worked up. Cameron, you clearly still have feelings for me. Can’t we just stay together?”
Cameron’s heart skipped a beat at her words. Had he really been so heartless towards Nellie? No wonder Nellie resented him deeply.
“Greta, let’s sort things out later. I’ll be here to help you recover. Your health is what matters most.”
“Cameron…” Greta clung to his hand, “I’ve lost our child. Will you give me another?”
Cameron’s hand jerked away. He looked into Greta’s pleading eyes, his voice rough with emotion. “Greta, the doctor said you might not be able to have children again.”
Those words hit Greta like a sudden thunderclap. She was plunged into a state of
numbness.
The miscarriage, Kristina pressuring her to leave Cameron, and the fear of never having children… It was all too much. Her frail body couldn’t handle it, and suddenly, she was overwhelmed, coughing up blood.
Cameron was caught off guard as her blood splattered on his face: “Greta.” He was terrified, shouting frantically, “Doctor!”
The doctor rushed in, finding Greta lifeless except for her wide–open eyes. They administered CPR, and after what felt like an eternity, her heartbeat returned.
In those few minutes, Cameron went through emotional chaos. He realized he couldn’t bear the thought of losing Greta.
He clutched Greta’s hand tightly. The relief of having her back made him determined to do anything. “Greta, we’re not breaking up. Let’s get married.”
Greta’s tears overflowed with joy.
The next day, the sun crept over the horizon. Cameron carried Greta out of the hospital.
The driver pulled up, and Cameron settled Greta into the back seat, instructing coolly, “Take us to the registry office.”
The driver was taken aback, his expression a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Cameron was taking the frail Greta to get married right after a divorce. What a spectacle. Wouldn’t this be a slap in the face to the previous Mrs. Dawson?

Could she tolerate such an affront?
Cameron’s love–struck decisions needed some serious reconsideration.
Unlike last time, Nellie was at the registration office early for the divorce. Maybe
happiness brought her energy, as she seemed to radiate new life.
Cameron carried Greta out of the car, and Nellie’s previously warm eyes narrowed into slits.
“Cameron, why did you bring her here?” Nellie asked icily.
Despite feeling weak, Greta managed a smug grin at Nellie, “Nellie, once you and Cameron split, I’m marrying him.”
Nellie’s expression hardened, her sharp gaze fixed on Cameron. “Cameron, are you trying to humiliate me with this?”
Cameron kept his face neutral. “I didn’t mean it that way. Your sister’s been down, and I just wanted to lift her spirits. Nellie, can’t you show a little generosity?”
Greta’s smile broadened as she tightened her grip on Cameron’s hand.
Nellie’s face went pale. “Cameron, you might not care, but I have my pride. Either she leaves, or we reschedule the divorce.”
