Chapter 58
Nellie tried to muster a smile, but it barely reached her lips. There were just too many reasons she resented him,
and she didn't even know where to start. Yet, she realized she wouldn't really have held the kidney donation
against him if there hadn't been any deceit involved.
"You saved my life, and you paid for my education. Think of this kidney as my way of repaying you. We're even
now." With that, she got ready to leave.
Cameron wasn't about to let her go that easily. "Nel, if you don't hate me, then cback hwith me."
Nellie stared at him, her expression blank. She didn't resent him for taking her kidney, but there were so many
other reasons she did.
"I'm not going with you."
Cameron couldn't find even a flicker of warmth in her cold stare. He felt a bit lost. "But we're married..."

Nellie shot back, "In nonly. Why should we stay tied to each other and be miserable?"
Her calm demeanor betrayed the despair and disappointment she felt about their marriage and Cameron
himself.
Cameron felt a wave of frustration. He'd always been proud, even arrogant, thinking he was above others and
never the one to be looked down on. Especially not by someone like Nellie, who cfrom such a simple
background.
"Nellie, I'll give you stto think it over. | hope after sreal consideration, you'll rethink where we
stand."
Cameron frowned. "I just don't want you regretting later and getting all clingy."
He hurried off, feeling a pang of unease he couldn't quite place.
Behind him, Nellie called out, "Cameron."
He paused.
Nellie warned him coolly, "I expect you to deal with those rumors aboutonline promptly. Otherwise, I'll have
no problem setting the record straight myself." Cameron looked at her, feeling a bit guilty. "You saw them?"
Nellie replied, "I'm not someone you can just push around. Cameron, don't pushtoo far and expectto just
forget the past. What you and Greta did might seem above board to you, but | doubt the public would
see it the sway."
With that, she turned and left, leaving Cameron to stumble back to his hotel, feeling defeated. Greta approached
him, offering a massage. "Cameron, what's going on? You look so troubled." Cameron sighed, "Greta, | think
Nellie really doesn't loveanymore."
Greta was taken aback. "It's odd.
She used to be head over heels for you, and now it's like she's a completely different person. Could it be that
hypnosis really made her forget everything between you two?"

A shadow of defeat crossed Cameron's face. "I thought that hypnotist was just a charlatan. But now it seems he
might actually know what he's doing. Looks like | need to meet with him to undo
In
Nellie's hypnosis."
Greta's eyes flashed with concern. "Cameron, didn't you always find Nellie's clinginess annoying? Isn't it better if
she's forgotten everything now?" Cameron hesitated, "Even if | didn't like it, she's still my wife. Her defiance isn't
good for the Dawson family's image."
Greta let out a sigh of relief.
That snight, like a whisper on the wind, Nellie quietly packed her bags, checked out of the hotel, and flew
out of Milan.
By the tCameron went looking for her the next day, Nellie was already long gone.
