After a scare like that, Greta''s health took a nosedive again. Back at the hospital, she came down with a fever, but her medical bills were way overdue. After nagging her about the payments, the doctors were definitely not as friendly as before. Feeling fragile and overwhelmed, Greta cried her heart out in the hospital. With nowhere else to turn, she sent a desperate message to Nathalie. [I ept your bet.]


    When Nathalie saw the message, a confident smile spread across her stunning face. "Cameron, Greta, your time is almost up."


    Cameron had just wrapped up filming the third episode of his show when he got the call from the hospital. The doctor told him Greta was in critical condition, and his tone was anything but gentle. "Mr. Dawson, your wife''s medical bills have been overdue for too long. You''re not hurting for cash, so please pay up so we can keep treating her."


    Cameron had never been on the receiving end of such a lecture. The doctor''s words made his face flush with embarrassment. "Sorry, I''ve been swamped with work and forgot," he mumbled, sounding worn out.


    The doctor didn''t let up. "Mr. Dawson, I know you''re busy, but you''re responsible for her care. She''s been emotionally unstable and even sneaked out, which has messed with her recovery. We need the family to take this seriously. Don''t me us if things go south." Feeling drained, Cameron rushed to the hospital. He hadn''t seen Greta in nearly three weeks, and her appearance shocked him. She looked like a shadow of her former self, so thin and frail, with sunken eyes and hollow cheeks. Her skin looked rough and sallow, making her appear much older.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Cameron stood there, stunned, his mind nk. He couldn''t tell if he felt more pity or a touch of revulsion.


    When Greta saw him, tears welled up instantly. "Cameron, you''re finally here."


    Her heartfelt cry reignited Cameron''s love for her. Dropping his bags, he dashed over and held her hand tightly, guilt washing over him. "Greta, what happened to you?"


    Greta''s eyes red with anger. "It''s all Nathalie''s doing. She set my dad up and got him thrown in jail. After he was gone, no one cared about me anymore. Cameron, you have to stand up for me."


    Cameron had loved Greta his whole life. Seeing her so heartbroken fueled his anger towards Nathalie. "Don''t worry, Greta. I''ll find a way to get your dad out," Cameron promised, trying tofort her.


    But Greta shook her head,


    hopelessness in her eyes. "It''s no


    use, Cameron. Don''t waste your time. Nathalie''s got Nathan backing her, and you''re the ck sheep of the Dawson family now. You can''t


    take on Nathan."


    As someone who hated being told he couldn''t do something, Cameron was instantly fired up. "Who does Nathan think he is? I was making waves long before he even showed up."


    Greta''s eyes sparkled with


    determination. "But Cameron, the Dawson elders won''t let you upset their business ties. If you go against Nathan, won''t they strip you of your rights in Dawson International?"

    Greta''s gentle understanding sparked Cameron''s protective instincts. Stroking her hair, he clenched his teeth and dered, If I can''t even protect my own wife what''s the point of having any rights in Dawson International?"
