Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 355

Nellie felt like each monent was dragging on forever as she waited. Instead of hearing back from Cameron, she stumbled upon Greta's smug social media post. [He peeled shrimp for me. I'm so lucky.]

The post included a photo showing Cameron's hand still sporting his wedding ring. Nellie's tears came rushing out like a dam breaking.

"Cameron, how could you be so heartless?"

With her body trembling, Nellie took some fever meds, even though she knew she shouldn't because of her condition. That day, she collapsed on the floor, and it wasn't until the wee hours that she finally came to. Oddly enough, while her fever had broken and she felt stronger, the pain in her back and stomach only got worse.

She hadn't even made it to the doctor before Cameron waltzed in during the early morning hours. By then, Nellie had pulled herself together and was perched on the couch.

Cameron glanced at her with a voice full of irritation. "Your sister said you were trying to reach me? What's up?"

Nellie replied with a cold, "Nothing." She had completely lost any faith she had in him.

Cameron could sense the annoyance in her voice. Frustrated, he tossed his coat onto the couch. "What's your deal? Why have you been up all night, acting like a lunatic? Did I ask you to wait for me? No, I didn't. So if you're not getting any sleep and just sitting here hoping I'll come home, that's on you."

Nellie shot him a sorrowful glance. Her eyes were filled with such deep disappointment that it felt like a nuclear meltdown.

She remained silent, seemingly too drained to argue, and slowly headed upstairs to the bedroom. There, she packed up her belongings, moved them to the guest room, and thus began her stint of living apart from Cameron.

Cameron thought she was being completely irrational. "What kind of behavior is this?" he fumed, struggling to keep from cursing.

Once a crack forms, trust starts crumbling. From that point on, every time Cameron didn't come home, Nellie would catch glimpses of him and Greta flaunting their affection on social media.

On Nellie's birthday, Cameron and Greta jetted off to Malta. When Nellie was sick, Cameron and Greta were busy attending some fancy event. When Nellie was short on cash, Cameron was busy showering Greta with luxury gifts.
