Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 131

"What do you mean? Wasn't it because you just had a kidney donation surgery, and your health was so poor that you were forced to terminate it?"

Nellie's face twisted into a dark, sinister smile. "You're really full of yourself. Cameron, the real reason is... she was your child. I couldn't stand the thought of her carrying your filthy blood. I was worried she'd inherit your bad genes... and even more terrified that she'd keep me tied to you forever, like a stubborn piece of gum on my shoe."

Cameron felt a chill run down his spine, his self-delusions crumbling under Nellie's blunt words. His voice shook uncontrollably. "Nellie, did you really hate me that much from the start?"

"If you weren't so arrogant, you'd have realized long ago that I don't have an ounce of affection left for you."

Cameron's breath caught in his throat. His mind was reeling, struggling to process the gravity of her words. "Nellie... I only took one kidney from you. And it was a donation you volunteered for. You can't hold that against me."

Nellie rolled her eyes. "Cameron, I'm not blaming you. I'm blaming myself. I was blind, both in heart and mind, for not seeing through your deceitful facade."

The word "deceit" hit Cameron like a punch to the gut. He hadn't expected her to see him as such a lowlife.

Cameron scrambled to explain, "Nellie, you've got it all wrong. I married you with honest intentions. As long as you don't file for divorce, you'll always be my wife ... my promise stands."

"Your wife" Nellie laughed bitterly. "This so-called Mrs. Dawson is the biggest joke in town. I’m tagged with the Dawson family name but without the perks—no luxury, no comfort of a shared bed. Even when I was sick and needed money, I had to go through your assistant. Cameron, did you ever truly see me as your wife?"

Cameron's face flushed with shame.

"Nel, I admit I was thoughtless. From now on, I'll give you a credit card and a monthly allowance. You won't have to go through Matt anymore..."
