Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron was unexpectedly thrown off, his voice a shaky mix of sincerity and fear. "What are you talking about? I love you. Your sister once saved my life, and I owe her. I thought marrying you would somehow repay that debt." Nellie sat quietly for what felt like an eternity.

Cameron felt his nerves tightening. His gut told him Nellie wasn't convinced.

But finally, Nellie exhaled, "Cameron, I trust you. We're in this together. Lovers should trust and be loyal to each other. Whatever you owe her, I'll help you make it right." Cameron was taken aback. Nellie's unwavering belief in trust and loyalty made his heart skip a beat.

The next day, he tried to keep his word, ease his guilt, and fast-track Greta's surgery. He turned to Nellie. "Nel, it's such a lovely day. How about we go get hitched?" Nellie was thrilled.

After grabbing their marriage certificate and stepping out of the registry office, Cameron's phone buzzed. Patrick was on the line, "Cameron, Greta found out about the marriage. She's gone on a hunger strike. I can't talk any sense into her." Cameron's face tightened. "I'm on my way."

The rain was relentless that day.

Cameron turned to Nellie. "Nel, there's an emergency at work. I need to sort it out."

Nellie was surprisingly cool about it. "You better get going then."

Without checking how she'd get home, Cameron drove off.

Nellie waited in the pouring rain for half an hour before snagging a cab.

At the hospital, Greta flung herself into Cameron's arms, sobbing, "Cameron, have you forgotten about me?"

Cameron seemed to forget all about his marital status as he comforted her. "Greta, marrying Nellie was all for you. Don't hurt yourself over this. Otherwise, my efforts are for nothing."

Greta settled down after Cameron's soothing reassurances.

Meanwhile, Nellie got home,

watching the rain from the window with a soft smile. Then, she suddenly gave herself a little pep talk. "Nellie, don't rely on Cameron to create the life you want. You're better than that. Work hard, be your best, and stand by his side."

Nellie was never the delicate type.

That night, she sat on her bed, her cheeks flushed like red roses, but as sleep took over, she realized Cameron hadn't come home.

The next morning, Cameron

returned. He acted like his absence

was nothing and didn't apologize or

explain. He just joined Nellie for

breakfast as if nothing was amiss.

Halfway through his meal, he noticed Nellie hadn't touched her plate. She was just watching him quietly, her eyes steady.

"What's up?" Cameron asked casually.

"Cameron, did you forget we're married now?"

Cameron nearly choked, only then realizing that being married meant being a husband with responsibilities. He couldn't just do whatever he pleased.

He felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. "How could I forget something like that?" Cameron forced a smile, but his guilt was nowhere in sight.

Nellie said, "Cameron, if you're not ready for this, maybe we should..."

Cameron immediately felt a wave of panic.
