Chapter 220
Greta shook her head. “No, I love him…”
Kristina shot back, “Do you love him as deeply as Nathalie did?”
Greta paused, caught off guard. Anyone with a heart could see the depth of Nathalie’s love for Cameron. It was fierce and undeniable. “When Nathalie was just a teenager, she already learned how to do laundry and cook for Cameron. She even took care of me when I was sick, all because of him. She was willing to donate her kidney just because he asked. Her love for Cameron was clear as day. Greta, you don’t love him the way Nathalie did. You don’t deserve the kind of love he has to offer.”
Greta wasn’t backing down. “That was then. It’s Cameron’s fault for being so clueless and not valuing the woman who loved him most. Now, Nathalie would rather see him fall apart.”
Kristina nodded, “That’s because Cameron hurt her deeply. Her actions are just the echoes of love unreturned.”
tside the hospital room, Cameron leaned against the doorframe. Kristina had left the door slightly open on purpose, making sure he could hear every word.
When Kristina talked about Nathalie’s past devotion and Greta called him foolish, it really hit Cameron hard. Memories of Nathalie’s care flooded back. She would always have a hot cup of water ready before he woke up, squeeze out his toothpaste, iron his clothes, and tie his tie. When he was sick, she was there tirelessly, making sure he took his medicine on time.
Yet, he never loved her back, taking all her efforts for granted. In contrast, Greta claimed to love him but had never really done anything for him. Greta had called him foolish for losing someone as good as Nathalie.
For the first time, Cameron realized he might have really messed up.
Inside the room, Kristina laid it out. “I can’t let you stay with my son. You’ll ruin him.”
“I’m not divorcing him,” Greta said, her voice edged with malice. “I’m sick. If he divorces me now, what does that make him?” Kristina snorted, “He abandoned Nathalie, who loved him dearly. He’s not been a kind person for a while.”
Greta was left speechless.
Kristina pressed on, “Just consider him unworthy and forget about him.”
“I won’t agree to a divorce,” Greta sobbed.
Kristina pulled a stack of cash from her bag and placed it on the bedside table. “Greta, Cameron has been completely cut off by Dawson International. He can’t support you anymore. Holding onto him is pointless. Use this money to go abroad and find a good doctor to treat your illness,” Kristina said before walking away, leaving Greta clutching the thin stack of money, tears streaming down her face.
Meanwhile, Dawson International was in chaos. At the shareholders‘ meeting, Griffin, Cameron’s own father, voted against him continuing as CEO. With Cameron’s recent bad press, other shareholders followed suit, and he was ousted from the family’s power circle. The new CEO? Cameron’s half–brother.
