Chapter 183
Outside the hospital room, Greta's fragile frsagged against the wall, her heart heavy with bitterness as she
overheard Kristina tearing her down. Was she really second-rate compared to her sister?
She strained to catch any sound from inside, secretly yearning for Cameron to step up for her. But this time, his
silence stretched unbearably long.
Fear gnawed at Greta; she dreaded the thought of Cameron being swayed by his mother and perhaps even
reconsidering his feelings towards his ex-wife.
With nerves fraying, Greta finally burst through the door, unable to hold back.
Inside, Kristina sat on the bed, her gaze icy. Cameron was on his knees, his eyes bloodshot.

Normally, his buddies would chin with, "Good riddance, it was about time!" But today, there was a strange,
shared silence.
Cameron found it odd. "Why's everyone so quiet? Didn't you all pushto divorce her? You always said she
wasn't good enough for me."
From a corner, Jake sighed, "Times change."
Cameron's grip on his wine glass quivered slightly.
