Chapter 359
Seething with anger, Nellie swung her hand and slapped Greta across the face. “Why can’t I have healthy kids? Greta, if I hadn’t given you a kidney, do you think my health would be this bad? You are so ungrateful. Does Cameron know what a schemer you are?”
Greta collapsed onto the floor, crying dramatically. “Dad, look at her! I knew it. I just took her kidney, and she’ll hold it over my head
forever.”
Patrick was livid. “Nellie, if you’re here to stir up trouble, you’re not welcome.”
Nellie shot Patrick a fierce look. “I don’t care if I’m not welcome here. The court will hear me out. Just wait until we meet there.”
Patrick visibly paled.
After Nellie stormed out, Patrick and Greta huddled to plan their next move. “What do we do, Dad? If Cameron finds out I was the one who hurt his kids, he’ll never forgive me.”
rick gritted his teeth. “Greta, just act clueless. I’ll take all the blame.”
Greta’s eyes lit up with relief. “Dad, you’re amazing. Don’t worry. Cameron adores me so much, and as long as he doesn’t blame me, he won’t ever let you go to jail.”
Greta’s prediction hit the nail on the head. When Nellie spilled the beans to Cameron about Patrick’s actions, Cameron was initially furious. “This is just ridiculous.”
He stormed over to the Brown family’s place to confront Patrick. When he got there, Patrick dropped to his knees in front of Cameron, confessing, “Cameron, I won’t hide it from you. It was me.”
He tried to justify himself. “I had selfish reasons. Nel just had surgery, and I thought she needed to recuperate and shouldn’t be pregnant.”
“I meant well, but Nellie resents me. Cameron, I’m sorry, I…” He put on a pitiful show, slapping his own face.
Greta saw Patrick hurt himself and was so shocked that she fainted. Even though Cameron was upset with Patrick’s actions, his concern for Greta’s feelings overshadowed his anger. He took Greta to the hospital.
When he got back home, Nellie hurried to meet him. “Cameron, did you handle it?”
Cameron looked serious. “Nel, let’s just drop it. Your dad might’ve messed up, but he was looking out for you. He thought you were not fit for pregnancy because of your fragile health. To keep your relationship intact, he quietly hoped for a natural miscarriage. It just didn’t go as planned…”
Nellie felt a chill down her spine. She couldn’t believe Cameron was so blinded by love.
“You believe his story?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Cameron frowned.

Nellie trembled with disbelief. “You don’t deserve to be a dad.” She ran upstairs, tears streaming down her face.
“I won’t let this go.”
Cameron raised his voice. “Your sister had a relapse and is hospitalized because of this. Let’s end this here. No more nonsense.”

Nellie turned pale. She knew it. When it came to Greta, Cameron would bend any
“What if I refuse to drop it?”
Cameron, losing patience, said, “Nellie, it’s no use. What good will it do?”
