“Let him know, if he doesn’t show up to see me, he shouldn’t expect any mercy from me.”
“And he better come prepared with a big check… it’s what he owes me.”
The doctors and nurses couldn’t believe her nerve, openly gossiping about Greta’s personal life. “Is she that desperate for cash?”
“It’s not just about the money; she’s got a thing for men, if you ask me. Look at Mr. Morris – young, successful, and his wife is an absolute knockout. He’s head over heels for her, and this woman thinks she can waltz in and steal him away?”
“She’s got a track record, you know. Her current husband was snagged right from under her sister’s nose. But after her sister got divorced and landed someone like Mr. Morris, she’s green with envy and now has her eyes set on him. Where does she get the audacity to think she’s got a shot with Mr. Morris?”
“Exactly. She only managed to nab her ex–brother–in–law because Cameron’s a faithless jerk. Mr. Morris adores Mrs. McCoy; there’s no way he’d fall for her nonsense.”
Cameron stormed in, looking none too pleased.
The nurses fell silent instantly.
Greta was perched on the bed, shouting, “I want to see Morris. I need to see him now.”
Cameron cut her off sharply: “That’s enough.”
He couldn’t stand Greta anymore; she had turned him into a laughingstock.
Greta sat back down, feeling wronged.
Cameron approached the doctor, asking about Greta’s condition out of obligation: “Doc, can you give me an update on my wife’s condition?”
“Mrs. Dawson’s injuries are healing with our care, but her early kidney failure is improving at a snail’s pace. That’s all manageable, but her mental health…”
The doctor tapped his temple: “That’s deteriorating, and you need to prepare yourself. We’re worried she might act out… or worse, harm herself.”
Cameron nodded, “I understand.”
After thinking it over, he told Greta, “I’m having you transferred to another hospital.”
Greta was confused, “Where to?”
“A psych ward.”
Greta protested fiercely, “I’m not going there. I’m not crazy.”
The doctor shook his head and left with the nurses.
Cameron looked at Greta, exasperated, “You’re not crazy? Then why the obsession with seeing Morris? Why demand money from him?”
Greta replied, “Because I’ve uncovered his secret. I’m going to use it to get him to pay for my medical bills and emotional distress. My illness is Nathalie’s fault, so it’s only fair to ask for compensation.”
“His secret?” Cameron thought it was absurd. “You don’t even know him; how could you have something on him? Pack up, we’re leaving.”
“Cameron, believe me, I’ve met him before.”
Seeing her so sure and clear–headed, Cameron decided to play along, “When did you meet?”

Greta hesitated, then asked, “Can I still trust you?”
“If you can’t trust me, who can you trust?”
She looked at Cameron with resentment, “But you detest me, and you want a divorce. Once we’re divorced, we’re nothing to each other.”
Cameron smirked, “Don’t forget, we’re still married. For now, we’re tied together by shared interests.”
