Chapter 100

In the hospital room, Greta lay on the bed, looking as if all life had drained from her. Her kidneys weren't functioning properly after a bout of heavy drinking, leaving her unable to urinate and causing her body to swell.

Greta's expression was a mix of sorrow and anger. "She wouldn't even donate blood for me? Does Nellie really hate me, Cameron?"

Cameron, sharing her frustration, replied, "I don't know what's happened to Nellie. It's like she's become someone else. She's no longer the sweet, kind person she once was. I must have been blind."
