Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 149

"Mom, Greta's carrying my baby. I can't just turn my back on her like that..."

Kristina's eyes widened in disbelief. Out of nowhere, she lunged at Cameron, breaking into a fit of rage. "Your father's about to toss me out, and all you can think of is Greta. Cameron, I raised you through thick and thin, and this is how you repay me?"

She pushed her hair away, revealing a large burn scar, tears streaming down her face. "Look at this scar. It's from the boiling oatmeal your father threw at me just because you wouldn't stand up for yourself. Other women rise in status through their sons, but what did I do to deserve this? I raised you through hardship, only for you to bring such disaster upon me..."

Seeing the scar, Cameron stood there, shocked and speechless. He sighed deeply, "I'm sorry, Mom. I haven't been the son you deserve. I've just brought you more trouble. I'm sorry." He covered his face with his hands, tears seeping through his fingers. Kristina, her voice trembling, asked, "Is all this worth it, Cameron? To abandon your family for Greta and leave us like this, is it really worth it?"

Cameron didn't answer, lost in thought as he stumbled away from the Dawson family home.

The city's streetlights cast a warm glow over the bustling streets, but, to Cameron, these lively scenes felt alien. He felt like a stranger in his own world, shunned by his father, cursed by his mother as a bringer of bad luck, and even the internet labeled him a deceitful husband.

All he did was accidentally hurt Nellie while trying to help the one he loved. He didn't deserve such harsh judgment.
