Nellie stared at him, her disappointment clear in her eyes. “Cameron, I thought the first thing you’d ask about was how I’m doing.”
Instead of concern for her, all his words were centered around her sister.
Cameron looked sheepish. Holding Nellie's hand, he tried to soothe her. “Nel, I was actually complimenting you. You’re a hero. I’m proud of you.”
Nellie forced a smile.
Cameron stayed a little longer, then decided it was time to head home for some rest. “Nel, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. I’ll head home now.” With that, Cameron stood up and left.
In the stillness of the night, Nellie let out a sigh full of self-pity. Maybe that sigh was what pricked Cameron’s conscience. He came back to her bedside, asking, “Hey... Are you feeling okay?”
Nellie took his hand and placed it over her heart.
Cameron’s face clouded over.
Nellie asked, “Cameron, do you really love me? Why can’t I feel it?”
As he watched Nellie's pale face, guilt washed over Cameron. “Nel, I was just going home to grab a few things for you. I’ll be right back.”
Nellie felt a bit more at ease.
During her hospital stay, Cameron spent most of his time with Greta, only squeezing in brief visits to Nellie, ut Nellie thought he was just swamped with work and was forgiving.
She started feeling a little better and, out of boredom, began scrolling through her phone.
