On Greta's first day at the new hospital, Cameron was hit with a flurry of urgent calls from the family maid. Over the phone, she said, “Cameron, Miss is threatening a hunger strike and talking about ending it all. What do we do?”
Cameron looked at Greta, feeling torn and overwhelmed.
Greta reassured him, “Don’t worry. Even if you don’t go back, she’s not going to follow through. She’s just trying to get your sympathy and pull you away from me.”
She added with a smirk, “It was my go-to trick back in the day. When you loved me, it worked like a charm.”
“Cameron, it’s kind of funny, isn’t it? You were the one who fueled my antics.”
Cameron had just stood up, but hearing Greta's words, he sank back into his chair.
He spoke into the phone, “Tell her to knock it off. I’m not indulging in this kind of manipulative behavior anymore.”
Silence followed on the other end.
Cameron hung up, feeling a wave of relief.
Greta’s lips curved into a pleased smile.
Meanwhile, at Dawson Manor, Nina sat on the rooftop edge, her feet dangling as she sang a sad tune to herself.
The maids were in a panic, some dialing the police, others calling emergency services. One maid shouted, “Get the master back here, quick!”
“I already called him. He said not to give in to this attention-seeking tactic; he won’t cater to it.”
“He’s not coming? What if she really jumps?”
“He’s sure she won’t.”
“Quick, call him on video, let him see for himself.”
Nina heard the frantic voices around her and offered an apologetic smile. She didn’t like causing trouble. She just wanted to prove her father loved her. That was all.
