Cameron's eyes turned cold as he asked, without a hint of emotion, "If you're feeling insecure, I can quit my job. Just know that we'll have to tighten our belts a bit. How does that sound?"
Greta's over-the-top sobbing came to an abrupt halt. If Cameron quit, she'd lose out on the hefty allowance, meaning no more designer bags or pricey imported meds.
She quickly switched gears, playing the supportive wife. "Cameron, I can't be selfish and hold you back from your career."
Cameron was completely worn out, "Why don't you head home? I've got to get back for the gala."
Greta left but was clearly reluctant to do so. She took a few steps, silently wishing Cameron would call her back. But when she finally turned around, he was already striding away.
Her heart sank once more.
With tears in her eyes, she murmured, "Cameron, please don't let me down."
Feeling lost and uneasy, Greta returned home, desperate to know what the future held for her and Cameron.
She pulled out Timeless Cycle, nervously running her fingers over its surface. The last time she used it, she dreamt of her own wickedness. She worried whether Cameron would uncover her true nature and, if he did, whether he'd forgive her.
Would their story end in separation?
With these worries, Greta drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, her maliciousness escalated. To get rid of Nathalie and her daughter, she pretended to be ill and even pressured Nathalie to have Nina donate blood.
She bribed a nurse, who used a dirty needle to draw Nina's blood. Nina, already in poor health, succumbed to the resulting infection.
