Cameron's face clouded over.
Nellie asked, "Cameron, do you really love me? Why can't I feel it?" As he watched Nellie's pale face, guilt washed over Cameron. "Nel, I was just going hto grab a few things for you. I'll be right back." Nellie felt a bit more at ease.
During her hospital stay, Cameron spent most of his twith Greta, only squeezing in brief visits to Nellie, ut Nellie thought he was just swamped with work and was forgiving.
She started feeling a little better and, out of boredom, began scrolling through her phone.

With a look of disdain, the doctor subtly took Nellie's side. "Who will ever donate an organ again if a donor suffers while is fine?" This hit Cameron like a ton of bricks. He realized he couldn't treat Nellie so poorly.
Filled with regret, he stayed outside the emergency room, making a tough decision. He had given Greta a second chance at life. He had done right by her. Now, he owed it to his wife Nellie for the rest of his life.
Driven by this realization, he spent nearly every moment at Nellie's side. When Nellie woke up, ske heard the nurses talking with a mix of envy and admiration, "You're so lucky. Your husband was so worried when you were out. He didn't leave your side for a second."
Nellie was someone who found comfort in the simplest things She thought maybe she had blown things out of proportion. So, she decided to let it go and tucked her doubts away deep in her heart.
