Cameron sat there, staring at Greta, who was knocked out cold. He'd been keeping his distance from her lately, so he hadn't really taken a good look at her. Now, as he studied her closely, he saw how she had become just skin and bones, looking completely worn out.
She was the woman he held so dear in his heart, and his feelings were all over the place. He was mad at her obsession with acting but couldn't stand seeing her in pain either.
Finally, he listened to the doctor's advice and set up a full medical check-up for Greta.
The news wasn't good. The doctor, looking all serious, told Cameron, "Mrs. Dawson's urine test came back abnormal. We strongly suspect kidney disease."
Cameron was floored. He'd once moved heaven and earth to help Greta get over a kidney disease. But after she got better, he started giving her the cold shoulder, just like he had with Nathalie back in the day, which eventually led to Nathalie suffering from uremia.
A shiver ran down Cameron's spine. Was he about to push Greta down the same path as Nathalie?
His face went ghostly pale, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
"We have to get her better," Cameron heard himself say, his voice steady and determined.
"Okay."
In the hospital room, Greta lay there on the bed. Her eyes were blank like a scared little deer.
When Cameron walked in, Greta glanced at him with tears in her eyes and then, in a huff, turned her head away. She refused to even look at him.
Cameron quietly sat down, reaching out to take Greta's hand. "Just focus on getting better. Don't worry about the money."
Greta shot back with a mix of playful anger and frustration, "Why would I have any right to use your money? I should be counting my blessings that you don't see me as your mortal enemy."
Cameron didn't say a word. In reality, he was a walking contradiction. Anytime anyone brought up Greta's past mistakes, his anger flared up.
