Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron's face gradually softened as they stepped into the doctor's office. He was caught off guard when the doctor, after reviewing Greta's medical report, didn't say a word about it but instead stared at him seriously and asked, "Where's Mrs. Dawson's medical report?" Cameron's mood, which had just settled, darkened again. Greta was quick to jump in, "Oh, my sister's overseas."

The doctor frowned, "Mrs. Dawson might be a donor, but her health is just as important. Also-" he paused, revealing something troubling. "The day she was discharged, I noticed her sheets were soaked in blood. Given the time since her surgery, it's unusual for such heavy bleeding to occur." "Mr. Dawson, could there be other health issues she's facing? You should really have her come back for a check-up to rule out any other problems." The doctor sighed, clearly frustrated, "Her condition was so fragile; she shouldn't have been discharged in the first place." Cameron went pale, clutching Greta's hand so tightly that she nearly yelped in pain. He had no idea Nellie was in such bad shape the day she left for abroad. If he'd known, he wouldn't have let her go.

Trying to deflect the doctor's criticism, Greta chimed in, "Doctor, it's not Cameron's fault. My sister was adamant about leaving. She wants another lifestyle and insisted on going abroad. Mr. Dawson couldn't change her mind, so he relented." The doctor gave Greta a look of silent judgment.

"Mr. Dawson, after donating a kidney, your wife's health will naturally decline. You need to make sure she gets regular medical attention. Even a strong body can break down when you treat it so recklessly. She might not enjoy life as much as the recipient does." Cameron's facade cracked as he pressed, "You were her doctor. Shouldn't you know why she had such severe bleeding?"

The physician was taken aback but held his temper in check, "Mr. Dawson, based on her previous health records, she shouldn't have had major issues. Her surgical wound was healing well. This sudden bleeding could mean a re-infection, or perhaps..." Looking Cameron in the eye, the doctor said, "I suspect she had a miscarriage."

"That's impossible," Cameron shot back.

The doctor looked puzzled, "But her symptoms resemble those after taking Mifepristone."

Cameron suddenly remembered Nellie asking him to buy Mifepristone the day before she left. "What is that used for?" His voice trembled.

"It's for terminating a pregnancy."

Cameron's complexion turned ghostly white. The night Nellie agreed to donate her kidney to Greta, he was so overjoyed that he'd let his guard down and slept with Nellie.

Could she have gotten pregnant that night? And why had she never told him? Instead, she secretly terminated the pregnancy.

Cameron's tall frame shivered as he asked, "Why would she do that?"

The doctor replied, "Mr. Dawson, she is your wife. Didn't she discuss this with you?"

A wave of frustration hit Cameron, leaving him speechless. He couldn't fathom that Nellie, who had always been so compliant and revered him, would go behind his back and end the life of their child.
