BuzzNovelCameron suddenly pushed her away, his tone harsh. "Greta, show srespect for yourself, and for me. Yes, we
used to love each other, but | married Nellie. She's the only one | care about now."
Before Greta could reply, Kristina burst in, voice sharp and commanding. "Cameron, you know the doctors said
your condition will only get worse. Soon, you won't even be able to take care of yourself. Greta doesn't care, she
still wants to marry you. That's a blessing, don't turn your back on it. Or do you think | should be the one to
spoon-feed you for the rest of your life? | raised you, and now you want to tiedown until the end? You're
draggingdown, Cameron-how can you expect that of me?"
Kristina's words stung, the room crackling with tension.
Cameron opened his mouth, but the words caught in his throat. He finally sighed, sounding defeated. "Mom, |
promise-even if | can't take care of myself, | won't be your burden."
"Easy to say," Kristina snapped. She strode over and forced Cameron and Greta's hands together. "If you two are
together, maybe then I can finally breathe."

another family now. | wanted to confront him, but because of your career, | swallowed my pride and stayed
silent.”
Tears streamed down Kristina's face. "Do you have any idea what it's been like for me? I'm losing my mind here."
Cameron went pale, the shock aging him in an instant, lines deepening around his eyes.
Nathalie covered her mouth, her heart aching for Cameron.
He finally bowed his head, surrendering to reality. "I'm sorry, Mom. I'll do as you say. I'll marry Greta."
Relief washed over Kristina's face. "That's better. With Greta to look after you, | don't have to worry anymore."
She stumbled as she left the room, leaving Cameron and Greta alone.
Cameron looked at Greta, guilt heavy in his eyes. "Greta, I'll only end up holding you back."
Greta's eyes filled with tears. "Cameron, you helpedwhen | was sick. Now it's my turn to take care of you."
She knelt down, her voice trembling. "Cameron, marry me."
"Greta, you know my heart belongs to Nell. | don't love you. Marryingwould be unfair to you."
Greta shook her head, wiping her cheeks. "It doesn't feel unfair, Cameron. Not at all."
She leaned in and kissed him.
Startled, Cameron jerked back, his hand flying up and slapping Greta before he could stop himself. Anger blazed
in his eyes. "Greta, Nell was your sister. She's barely gone, and you're already trying to take her place? How
could you?"
Tears streaked down Greta's face, her voice thick with humiliation. "I just love you
too much, Cameron. | always have. Even after you married Nellie, | couldn't let you go."
Cameron stared at her, shock and realization dawning on his face. His fists clenched. "Tellthe truth, Greta-did

known."
