Chapter 729
"Look at her, all dressed up like she's someone special, but with such a wicked heart."
Greta was too ashamed to lift her head. Finally, she tearfully removed her ring. "I'll pawn this for you, okay?"
The diamond ring was quite valuable, and only then did the driver back down. The crowd began to scatter.
Miranda helped Greta, though it was hard to tell who was holding up whom, as they stumbled towards the hospital. By sheer coincidence, they ran into Cameron at the entrance.
He was holding Nina's hand as they were just coming out. Clearly, Nina's allergy had been quickly soothed after a shot.
Greta and Cameron locked eyes, hers filled with a deep sadness. Cameron's gaze instinctively dropped to Greta's bare finger. "You gave your ring away?"
Greta raised her empty hand, her voice laced with bitterness. "I once cherished it. Thought it was sacred, wouldn't even let it touch dirty water."
Cameron's face turned even grimmer. Greta used to love him fiercely, depended on him. But now, it seemed she had moved on. Even their wedding ring, she could give it away just like that.
Cameron couldn't quite place his emotions. It wasn't exactly sadness, but there was a tinge of loss. His love had flickered out. The love he chased like a moth to a flame, only to see it vanish like fireworks in the night sky.
Greta's eyes were brimming with

tears, yet she smiled through them, mocking herself. "I was such a foot putting all my hopes on you. I laughed, cried, and lived for you, only to realize that loving you was a huge mistake. You left me, practically on my deathbed, for your daughter. Trusting you was my biggest blunder." swnovel
Cameron felt a knot in his stomach, knowing this relationship was toxic, but letting go was still a mess of emotions. After all, he had tried, fought for this love.
"And you?" Cameron shot back. "When I took Nathalie's kidney for you, when I gave up my spot as the Dawson heir for you, what were you doing?" Cameron chuckled bitterly. "You only ever see your sacrifices, never anyone else's."noveldrama
"Your father loved you, but when he got sick, you saw him as a burden. Your mother loved you, but you dismissed her as useless. I loved you, and you thought
I should just love you unconditionally forever. Greta, you live too selfishly."
Greta suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha. Haha. My whole life, I've been selfish and self-serving. I wasn't a good daughter or a filial one. But Cameron, everyone can call me selfish. Everyone but you. Atdeast my heart never wavered from you. Even when you wanted a divorce, I schemed against Nathan for you, saving Dawson International from going under." swnovel
"That was Nathan, the genius of the century. How could I have dared to scheme against him? But for you, I did. I even gambled with his life. Do you know how much Nathalie hates me? Cameron, how did I ever wrong you?"
Maybe Greta's words hit Cameron where it hurt the most, because his icy expression softened a bit. He suddenly let go of Nina's hand, walked up to Greta, and said, "No matter what, we're still married. I
won't just stand by. Come with me to see the doctor." swnovel
Cameron took Greta's hand and led her away. Nina stayed behind, glaring daggers at Greta.
