Cameron stood there, all the old pride drained from him, his head hanging low in shame.

"So, | heard you moved back to your downtown apartment?" Kristina asked, her voice carrying a hint of concern.

"| sold the mansion," Cameron replied, his voice rough and strained.

Kristina's eyes widened in shock. She sprang to her feet and slapped him, the sound echoing in the silence. Her

face showed nothing but utter despair.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Do you know what people are saying about you? They're calling you a waste,

a lost cause. But | always believed that you were just too tender-hearted and a good man. | believed that luck

wouldn't abandon you, that you'd find your way back to the top."

She paused, her voice rising. "But look at what you've done! You've lost your home. This isn't kindness; it's

foolishness."

Faced with Kristina's harsh words, Cameron fell into a deep and uncomfortable silence.

He used to believe he was led by his heart, a genuinely good guy deserving of respect. But the nurses' words in

the ambulance had been a wake-up call, a jolt of reality.

Yes, he'd been kind and loving to Greta, but he'd been nothing but cruel to Nathalie. The wrongs he did her were

now his burden to bear.

"It's karma, Mom," he said quietly. "This might be my payback for what | did to Nathalie."

Kristina's voice rose with emotion. "That's just an excuse. Plenty of people cheat in marriage and don't face any

serious consequences. But you only plotted against Nathalie for your true love and gave her beautiful memories.

The universe shouldn't be punishing you." She continued, "Cameron, you need to pick yourself up. Stop making

excuses for why you've fallen."

Her words sparked something in Cameron, reigniting a fire that had long been extinguished. He was tired of

being stepped on; he needed to rise again.

"Mom, can you lendsome

money? | want to start over," he

asked, desperation clear in his voice. He was like a drowning man clinging to a life raft, his dignity discarded as

he pleaded with Kristina, breaking her heart in the process.

She wiped away her tears. "Cameron, your father is determined to divorce me. He's moved most of the family's

assets, leavingwith almost nothing. I'm giving you everything | have left. This is your last shot to make

things right. Don't letdown."

Cameron swallowed hard. "Mom, | know this is your retirement fund. | promise I'll invest wisely. I'll make sure you

only gain from this." Kristina beamed, her spirits lifted. "Cameron, it makesso happy to see you trying to

stand up again."

But then, a thought crossed her

mind, and her expression turned serious. She glanced down the hallway before saying, "Cameron, I'm giving you

this money because of my love for you. Don't you dare spend it on anyone else."

Cameron understood what she was hinting at; she was worried he'd funnel it all to Greta.

He looked conflicted. "Mom, Greta is still my wife."

Kristina's face hardened. "Just thinking about how everything went downhill after marrying her makes it hard for

Cameron replied, "Mom, I've already wronged Nathalie, and if | do the sto Greta, people will talk even worse

about me. If Greta and | stay together, people will eventually understand."
