Nina sounded so dramatic that Cameron and the couple on the call burst into muted laughter.
Mortified and annoyed, Nina clenched her teeth and shouted to Emelia on the screen, "Emelia Jones! Aren't you supposed to be my BFF?"
That was a blatant betrayal!
Emelia laughed so hard that she was tearing up. Nina looked at Julian who's sitting beside her, and protested, "Julian, have you heard your wife? That was an appalling thing to say!"
"I think she's right." Julian defended his wife without any hesitation and added fuel to the fire by saying, "For those naughty girls who have no respect for their health, they just need a lesson from others."
The overtone was that he was rooting for Cameron's ways of coping with her.
Julian was very "unhappy" with Nina over her neglect of her body, which had caused her hospitalization and made his dear wife cry.
Ever since her pregnancy, he was careful not to make her drop a single tear.
Irritated by his remark, Nina said indignantly, "The hell with you two. You're like ganging up on me. I don't want to speak to you anymore. I'm ending the call."
With that she ended the video call and threw the pills she's been holding into her mouth. Cameron got her the glass of water before her. Fighting back the urge to throw up, she forced the pills down her throat.
But the choking still made her in such pain that there were tears in her eyes. Cameron sat beside her, threw her into his arms and started patting her back gently and patiently.
Nestling in his arms, the tears caused by the choking began to lose control and run out of her eyes.
She had always hated taking medicine even as a child. She'd always spit it out. Marisa Midgarden had never had any patience with her, so she would have just left her on her own and let her suffer.
As a child, she had never felt love or warmth from the family, which had only been exclusive to her brother Cory.
Cameron had been so loving to her since they had met. She started to think how gentle and patient the man was, and that he was like an embodiment of all the beautiful things in the whole world.
At the very beginning, she was only attracted to his look, but the more she knew him, the more she was smitten by his character and personality.
Feeling his shirt wet, Cameron soon pulled up the woman in his arms and asked worriedly with a frown, "Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
He thought she was crying so hard because of the medicine. She rose, turning away her face, and said, "I'm gonna take a shower."
She then rushed into the bathroom. With a look at the tear stains on his shirt and the back of the flustered woman, Cameron signed resignedly.
Would it be so hard for her to admit to crying in his arms?
Riverside City.
After her phone call with Cameron, Michelle hesitated for a while before finally deciding to place a call to her friend.
On the phone, she asked, "Nancy, what would say would happen to a big star like Nina Sanchez, who claims herself to be single, to be pictured hooking up with a man?"
