Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 349

However, he missed the lost look in Nellie's eyes.

Her voice wavered, “You don't have to be nice to me. We're not meant to be close in this lifetime. You can live your life as the rich heiress, and I'll continue as the wildflower. That suits me just fine.”

Greta, however, burst into tears. “Nellie, do you really not like me? It hurts to feel your rejection. I’ve missed you for so many years and have always thought about you.”

Nellie coolly brushed off her hand. “This town isn’t that big. If you truly missed me, you would’ve come to see me by now.”

Feeling uncomfortable, Greta turned to Cameron with a pleading look. “Cameron, it feels like my sister doesn’t like me.”

Seeing Greta on the verge of tears, Cameron immediately chastised Nellie. “Your sister isn’t well. Don’t upset her. Whatever she says, just listen and don’t argue.”

She lowered her head and obediently replied, “Okay.”

...

Cameron broke out in a cold sweat, wide awake.

Nathalie’s words echoed in his mind: If you truly missed me, you would’ve come by now.

It hit Cameron like a ton of bricks, realizing that Greta’s affection was mostly an act. She needed something from Nellie, so of course, she put on a show. At the time, he was too busy doting on Greta, ignoring Nellie’s feelings and forcing her to comply with his plans.

After a brief wakefulness, Cameron drifted back into a fitful sleep.

This time, the dream felt all too real. Greta's illness worsened quickly, and seeing her swollen and in pain only strengthened Cameron’s resolve. He was determined to speed up Nellie’s kidney donation.

To do this, he enlisted Patrick, hoping that some fatherly love might sway Nellie. Patrick, sly as ever, knew that to get Nellie to willingly donate her kidney, he’d have to make up for the years of absent fatherly love. So, he started bombarding her with tokens of care, sending gift after gift.
