"It must be because you've been hanging out withso much lately. You've kind of neglected her. She's just

throwing a fit." Greta's tears were like a quick summer rain, sudden and gone in a blink.

Patrick watched his daughter, and his heart ached for her. He was not at all pleased with Nellie, the one stirring

all this trouble. With a huff, he said, "Nel's being way too unreasonable. Greta almost died, and she's making a

fuss? How could she let Greta worry like this?" Cameron stared at Patrick, his gaze steady. "Don't forget, she had

surgery too. She's being a bit difficult only this time. Just let her be."

Patrick was momentarily caught off guard. A fleeting look of guilt in his eyes was quickly replaced by a smile.

"She's strong. She'll manage." Cameron shot Patrick a sharp look, who was silenced immediately.

Greta held onto Cameron's hand, her eyes red. "Cameron, have you ever thought that a love triangle is too

messy? You took Nel's kidney for me. She might not say it, but she's got to be hurting, or she wouldn't act out

like this. Cameron, why not divorce Nel? You never loved her anyway. You love me. Let's get married, and we'll

make it up to Nel, okay?"

Cameron gently eased her away. "Greta, I've told you | won't divorce Nel. Now that she's not well, | need to take

care of her for the rest of her life. | can't just walk away from our marriage."

Greta felt like she'd been doused with ice water. She sniffled, "Cameron, you're the kingpin in the business world.

You've crossed plenty of people. Why do you have to keep your promise to Nellie?"

Cameron replied, "In business, it's all about playing the game. But Nellie has never donewrong."

Greta broke down. "Cameron, if I'd known saving my life meant losing you, | wouldn't have taken Nel's kidney."

Cameron said, "Greta, the world has a way of balancing things. You've lost love, but you got a second chance at

life. Nellie gave up a kidney, but she gained the title of my wife."

Cameron walked away, feeling weighed down.

Greta sobbed. "It's so unfair... How am | supposed to go on without you?"

Patrick, feeling for Greta, rushed to console her, "Oh, sweetheart, please don't cry. It breaks my heart to see you

like this. Don't worry. Your sister's easygoing. I'll talk to her and see if she'll give up Cameron."

Greta finally stopped crying. "You're right, Dad. Cameron's a man of his word. If he won't break his promise to

Nellie, then we'll work on Nellie. We'll buy her a house and a car. She won't be able to resist, and she'll leave

Cameron."

"Yeah. | always find a way to sort things out. I'll make sure you and Cameron get back together."

Back at the Dawson family mansion, Cameron chome, missing the cheerful "honey" that used to greet him.

He frowned at the silence and asked the maid who opened the door, "Where's Nellie?"

The maid took his coat. "Mr. Cameron, she's been acting really off today. She locked herself in her room as soon

as she got back and hasn't cout since. She won't even answer when we call her." Cameron, surprised,

glanced upstairs. "I'll go check on her."
