Chapter: 896
“I want you to tell everyone that you performed the operation.” In her memory, Josiah would never stoop so low. He was now shifting the blame.
For a moment, Camila couldn't let go of the feeling that she had looked up to the wrong person.
“I understand if that will make you look down upon me, despise me..." Josiah continued with a sigh, "But if it weren't for you, Nelson would undoubtedly come to a horrible demise."
Camila's voice grew hoarse as she forced a smile, her words laced with bitterness. "Do you really believe that if I say that to Isaac, he will let Nelson off the hook? You don't know him as well as you think.”
Josiah leaned in, his voice barely above a whisper. "I have lived in Heinz for such a long time. I know Isaac better than you might think. That's why I asked for your help."
Camila was Left speechless, unsure of what to say next.
"So you called me here because you couldn't save her?" she asked, her tone growing colder by the second.
"Yes." Josiah's gaze never wavered.
“I know it's a lot to ask, but I have no other choice. This is the only way I can save Nelson. He is very fond of Cathy. About 10 years ago, he knelt with Cathy in his arms as he begged me to help save her. Back then, Cathy needed a new kidney, and Nelson didn't hesitate to offer his own. That kidney saved her life.
So, Cathy was around because of Nelson. I can't let Isaac blame Nelson for something that wasn't his fault."
He paused before continuing, “If Cathy hadn't died, maybe things would have turned out differently now. Sadly, Cathy was no more! Isaac would undoubtedly blame, as it is Nelson who caused Cathy to forget the past. Cathy's brain interference chip was also the reason for her untimely demise."
He let out a sigh. "You, however, are different. You are Isaac's wife. If you claim an error occurred during surgery, he will understand that Cathy did not perish due to the chip. You are his wife, therefore he won't kill you."
If it wasn't such a serious situation, Camila would have laughed. She looked at Josiah in disbelief and said, "If Cathy is dead, it's because of Nelson's selfish Love. He may have saved her years ago, but he also killed her. If he didn't put that chip in her brain to make her forget the past, she would have never had cerebral hemorrhage and got no time to be saved. How dare you say he isn't her murderer? And you don't want Isaac to take revenge? Cathy is his mother!"
“Camila, Listen to me, please. Nelson really loved Cathy," Josiah said with insistence. He wanted to save Nelson, even if it meant sacrificing Camila.
He and Nelson had been friends for many years, and he knew better than anyone how much Nelson loved Cathy.
"You say he loved Cathy. But what about her? Did she love him? She wouldn't have married Isaac's father if she loved Nelson. Keeping that aside, did he ask for her opinion before making her forget a great part of her life?" Nothing could change Camila's mind. Nelson was selfish. He did the worst thing ever by stealing her memories and explained it with Love. What sort of love was that?
"I won't agree, I can't agree. My husband and I are very close, and I won't risk creating a rift between us because of this. You call this love? I call it obsession!"
Camila finished and scoffed.
Nelson stole someone's wife and mother without giving her the chance to choose.
“No, it's Love!" Josiah insisted.
“You know what?" Camila shook her head. "You can say whatever you want, but it won't change my mind."
"Camila, consider all the times I stuck out my neck to protect you. Why don't you do this for me?"
“Look, I'm very grateful for all the help you gave me with Debora, and trust me, I'll never forget it. However, this is one thing I can't help you with. Isaac has a right to know the truth. We can't deprive him of it the same way his mother was taken away from him."
Seeing that Camila wasn't going to waver, Josiah sighed deeply and said, "Okay then."
He then went out to see Nelson.
