Chapter 730 Greta had landed back in the hospital once more.
After Cameron got Greta settled in, it hit him-he had left his daughter, Nina, waiting outside the hospital entrance. Panic surged through him as he rushed back to find her.
The night was still, a cool breeze cutting through the silence, and the usual hustle and bustle had long faded away. All that was left was little Nina, curled up on the steps at the entrance.

I got caught up in the moment and forgot all about you." Nina's face was buried in her knees, but slowly, she lifted her head, revealing eyes that shone like dark gemstones. They used to light up with a smile for Cameron, but now they seemed empty, maybe even a bit distant.
"I'm always the one left behind," she said, her voice cool and detached. It sounded like an accusation, but she seemed unfazed by it all.
Cameron's heart clenched, and he apologized again, "I'm really sorry, darling. I promise I won't let it happen again." He reached for her hand, but she deftly sidestepped his touch and stood up on her own, moving ahead. Cameron stood there briefly, letting out a heavy sigh.
He caught up to her, trying to soothe her gently, "Are you upset with Daddy?" Nina replied, "I'm not upset with you." Cameron felt a flicker of relief, but then Nina continued, "I'm upset with myself. I shouldn't have trusted you, but I did anyway." She suddenly turned around, smiling in a way that sent a shiver down his spine, "I won't trust you anymore. You've used up all the trust I had for you." Cameron felt a sharp pain, like needles piercing his chest, "Nina, don't say that. Daddy's sorry. Can you forgivethis time?" Nina said, "Daddy, you know, love and trust aren't things you can just get back once they're gone." Cameron's face went pale.
As Nina reached the crossroads, she waved Shim, "Daddy, let's say here. Our father-daughter swool.ne ends now..." to Cameron's heart twisted in agony as he grabbed her shoulders, "Nina, don't do this. Without Daddy, where will you go?" "I'm going to find Mom." "Have you forgotten? Your mom didn't want you." Nina shook her head, "Between us, it was you who letdown. But with Mom, was the one who hurt her. I know I broke her heart, so now I have to spend my life making it up to her." She waved and skipped away.
Cameron felt a deep, indescribable ache, wishing he could just slap himself.
Unable to shake off his worry, he kept a distant watch over Nina.
But she was like a ghost. After crossing one intersection, she vanished without a trace.

Cameron searched for her at the crossroads for what felt like that felt like forever, eventually feeling lost and choosing to give up.
He tried calling Nathalie, but all he got was the message: The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. That's when it struck him-Nathalie had blocked his number ages ago.
Out of options, he drove around, hoping to find Nina.
Over at the Stewart family estate.
Nathalie woke from a nap, only to have a servant inform her, "Miss, Mr. Dawson is here. He says it's urgent."
Nathalie, with her long dark hair flowing and skin as flawless as porcelain, looked ina simple with worldly, even nightgown. Her demeanor was relaxed, like a cat, entirely indifferent to Cameron's appearance. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
