Chapter 100

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."
