Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 216

The life she envisioned in Mrs. Dawson's world-filled with servants at her beck and call and a lavish lifestyle-was

just a distant dream. Instead, she found herself surrounded by desolation, a reality she never anticipated. Yet, in

this bleak existence, she held on for dear

life because if Cameron left her, she felt like she had no path but despair.

With a hand resting on her stomach, Greta realized she needed to take a leap of faith.

Cameron's finances took another hit as he covered medical expenses for both Patrick and Greta and hired a

nurse to help them. Staring at his wallet, which seemed to shrink every day, he was overwhelmed with a sense

of hopelessness about the future.

Things got worse when Griffin unexpectedly appeared at the hospital. Cameron, worn out from tending to Patrick

and then Greta, was at his lowest. Griffin saw his son, bent and weary, a shadow of his former self, and

disappointment was written all over his face. "Is this the woman you sacrificed everything for? Just look at what

she's brought you," Griffin couldn't hold back his fiery temper and lashed out at Cameron right in front of Greta.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, but in her vulnerable state, she felt powerless to defend herself. Cameron, for

the first time, couldn't muster a response to his father's harsh words.

Driven by a mother's protective instincts, Kristina blamed Greta for all their woes. "I've warned you before. This

woman is no good. She's been a curse to you, Cameron. Once you're divorced, my son will shine again."

Trembling, Greta pleaded with Kristina through her tears, "Please, Kristina, don't tearaway from Cameron. |

truly love him..."

Kristina cut her off, "Love him? How? By tearing him away from his family and making him work tirelessly to

support you and your father? Look at him now. He's lost so much weight and looks so worn out. If you really

loved him, how could you stand to see him suffer like this?"

Cameron was now numb and

exhausted. As he listened to the argument between his mother and wife, he felt powerless to mediate their

conflict, but Kristina's accusations planted a disturbing thought in his mind.

Did Greta genuinely love him? Or did she just need him?

If it was the latter, then what did all those years of love and sacrifice mean? Nothing but a cruel joke probably.

Confronted by Kristina's relentless accusations, Greta felt exposed and helpless, tike all her hidden motives were

laid bare. She knew she had used Cameron, but she also knew she loved him. Maybe she just loved herself more.

She couldn't let Cameron believe that, so she chose to escape the confrontation. In a flurry of emotion, she

shouted, "That's not true, Kristina, | really love Cameron..." before collapsing.

Cameron turned to Kristina in anger. "Mom, do you have to be so harsh? She's already in such a fragile state.

Why do you have to keep pushing her?"

Kristina felt her heart soften. Despite her frustrations, she couldn't just stand by. She turned to Griffin. "You see

how bad things are for Cameron now. You're his father. You can't just ignore him." Griffin, looking at his son's frail

figure, let out a heavy sigh, "We'll deal with this later."

Ignoring his parents’ concerns, Cameron cradled the fainted Greta and rushed to find medical help, his

desperation apparent. As Kristina and Griffin watched him walk away, a deep ache settled in their hearts.
