Chapter 155
Cameron looked genuinely remorseful. “I can make it up to you… as long as you’re not asking for the moon.”
But Nellie shot back, “Cameron, all I want is my kidney back. Can you do that?”
Cameron went pale. “You said you voluteered to donate.”
“Was it really my choice?” Nellie stepped closer, anger flashing in her eyes. “Cameron, you know lying is just asking for trouble.”
Cameron stayed silent.
Nellie raised her voice. “You promised that if I gave you my kidney, you’d take care of me forever and give me a cozy and secure home. Cameron, did our home feel anything like that?”
Cameron sighed, “I know I wasn’t the husband you deserved. But I meant it, Nellie, that was my true intention…”
“Cameron, your hypocrisy turns my stomach. Keep your distance. I don’t want to see you again.”
In a frustrated move, Cameron grabbed her hand. “Nellie, I’m not the villain you think I am. I just loved your sister too much, and it drove me to hurt you. I’m sorry. We were once partners, after all. If you ever need anything, you can still come to me.”
Nellie let out a bitter laugh. “Cameron, if you think this will make me forgive you and give you peace, you’re dreaming. I won’t ever let you off the hook.”
She wanted him to carry that guilt forever. That was the least he owed their late daughter.
“Nellie, don’t be so ridiculous. Without me help you, you’ll struggle.”
Nellie, both amused and annoyed, replied, “Cameron, I’m not Greta. I’m no fragile flower. I can shine on my own.”
She brushed past him with flair. Ahead, a sleek, multimillion–dollar sports car waited. Cameron watched in disbelief as Nellie slipped into the car, his eyes wide with shock.
Inside the car, Nathan was thrilled and waved Nellie’s divorce papers. “Nellie, this is legit, right? Cameron didn’t just whip this up to trick you?”
Nellie chuckled at Nathan’s odd comment. “He couldn’t get away from me fast enough. Why would he bother with a fake?”
Nathan remarked, “He’s blind to your worth. One day, he’ll realize what he lost.”
Nellie replied, “His heart’s all about Greta. No other woman stands a chance.”

Chapter 155
Sometimes, she did envy Greta. Despite her frail health, she had their parents‘ love and the admiration of Cameron.
Nathan added, “That might change. Once he marries Greta, his cherished sweetheart might just become a nuisance. Honestly, that frail act of hers doesn’t hold a candle to you.”
Nellie couldn’t help but smile at Nathan’s praise.
Suddenly, Nathan produced a lighter, holding it and the divorce papers out the window.
“Having your name tied to Cameron is a disgrace.” With that, he set the papers on fire, and once most of it was ash, he tossed it into a trash can.
Nellie didn’t stop him. Instead, she softly recited, “Moss blooms tiny as grains but dares to open like roses. Where the sun doesn’t reach, youth springs forth on its own.”
Nathan added, “You’re seen as insignificant as moss by your parents, but you’ve grown wild and brightened the world with your own light.”
