She rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, “After tonight, you’ll be a total freak.”
Since they were kids, Cameron had always been second to Milena. She wasn’t as charming to their parents, didn’t get good grades, and had that timid personality.
Lately, Cameron had changed a bit. But so what? In Milena’s eyes, Cameron would be beneath her forever.
About ten minutes later, Martin returned with two tall and strong men.
The lights were off, leaving the room in darkness. Milena was nowhere in sight. Martin only saw a girl in a red dress lying on the bed.
Martin couldn’t be bothered to turn on the lights. He pointed to the bed and said, “There she is. Get her to the hospital now. We’ll meet you there.”
“Yes, Mr. Wallace; the two men responded.
After giving the order, Martin left to find Heidi and Milena.
The two men carried the girl out. In the brighter hallway, they noticed her face was completely hidden under a wide- brimmed hat
One of them asked, “That’s weird. Why did they cover her face?”
The other shrugged and replied, “Not our business. We just need to get her to the hospital.”
They loaded the girl into the car and drove straight to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Martin found Heidi, but even after looking around, Milena was nowhere to be found.
“Where’s Millie? Where did she go?” Heidi asked, confused.
Martin frowned and replied, “Forget it. Let’s go to the hospital. This time, we’re staying right outside the OR to make sure everything goes as planned.”
Thinking about the situation last time, he thought, ‘If we’d stayed outside last time, Cameron would’ve had no chance to escape. We wouldn’t even be in this mess now. Today, we’re staying until the surgery’s done.’
They immediately drove to the Greenfield Gender Surgery Center.
Halfway there, Heidi received a call from Yasm

“Yes, that’s her. Thank you so much, Dr. Jensen, Heidi replied.

“She’s already awake” Martin mittered with a frown
Loving?
Heidi, however, didn’t seem too bothered. She casually said, “What’s the big deal? She’s already at the hospital. Where’s she gonna run off to now?”
“You’re right, Mom. She’s not going anywhere,” came a cold voice from behind them.
The familiar voice froze Martin and Heidi in place.
Leaning against the wall was a “young man” in a blue school uniform with one hand stuffed casually into a pocket. The expression on her face was even icier than the diamond stud glittering in her right ear.
“C-Cameron?” Heidi sprang up, stunned. “Why the hell are you here?”
Cameron carried a faint and sharp smile as she replied, “Why? Where did you think I’d be?”
She was back in her usual male outfit, and she had removed her makeup. Now, that cool look fully returned, and the cocky, indifferent “young man” was back.
Martin’s face twisted in confusion, and he asked in shock, “If you’re here, then who the hell is in the operating room?”
“You tell me,” Cameron said with a sneer.
It took Martin and Heidi a second before they realized the situation. Then, they shouted at once, “Millie!”
They bolted toward the OR, banging on the door like maniacs. “Millie! Millie! Open up! Open the door!”
“Yasmin, STOP IT! Don’t touch my daughter! You can’t operate on her!” Heidi was sobbing now, her tears pouring down her face, her composure completely gone.
Martin’s expression was stern as he started ramming his shoulder into the door. “Open it! Open the damn door!”
Cameron stood nearby and watched their reactions with a frosty stare. Her already disappointed heart turned even colder. She cursed in her mind, ‘Tsk, what a warm family. They are so anxious about their precious daughter. What a joke. They tried everything to force me into surgery.
‘But now that it’s Milena on the table, they’re wailing and losing their minds. Am I not their daughter too? I really wish I wasn’t. But…
Back in her last life, Cameron had suspected it too. She even snuck strands of her hair along with her parents’s and had her aunt, who worked in a hospital, run a DNA test.
The results crushed her. She was, without a doubt, their biological daughter.
Cameron turned around without a word and walked away.
Behind her, the OR doors finally opened from the inside. Martin and Heidi rushed in.
Milena fought back too hard, so the operation hadn’t started yet, but she’d been terrified out of her mind.
The three of them collapsed into each other’s arms and cried like they’d survived a nightmare.

Elijah came to the hospital looking for his father. Seeing how late it was, he held his textbooks and planned to go home. He casually glanced up at the sky and instantly froze. He saw someone sitting on the edge of the rooftop.
From this distance, maybe fifteen floors up, he couldn’t make out the figure clearly. But the person was right on the ledge with their legs dangling over the side, like they could drop at any second.
“Shit! Someone’s trying to jump down,” he muttered. For once, something flickered in Elijah’s usually calm eyes.
He spun around, bolted back inside, and rode the elevator to the roof. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a voice-a low and soft hum. “Lalalala…”
The person only hummed a tune, almost like they were weeping through the melody.
Cameron was sitting there, her legs swinging in the air, her eyes fixed on the stars. She was humming to herself, with no care for anything else.
She knew this would happen, and yet, she still felt crushed.
She thought to herself, ‘I’m their daughter too, but why do they only love Milena? Why do they treat me like I’m nothing? Is it really that I’m not worth loving?’
“Uh, hey, sir, please don’t sit there. It’s dangerou the person.
Successfully unlocked! voice soft and careful. He didn’t want to scare
He’d already called his father’s secretary and told them to put out the inflatable air cushions down below just in case, Cameron stopped humming when she heard the voice behind her. She turned, her eyes rimmed red. In the moonlight, she saw who it was
“Elijah?” she called out.
“Wait, you know me? Elijah blinked, caught off guard
Cameron looked at him and asked, “Don’t you recorte MAT
Elijah squinted, something clicking in his brain. That voice sounds familiard Campy Camer the hell is she doing up here?
He called out in an urgent tore, “Cameron, is that you? Get hark bare feet safe
Elijah never in a million years thought the person would be Cameron. He wondered in shock, What the hell happened to her? Why is she here? This is a professional hospital for gender surgeries. Why would Cameron show up here?
He had no answers but a hundred questions and a growing sense of dread in his mind.
But when Cameron heard his voice, she didn’t move. Instead, she casually swung her legs over the edge and said, “Don’t worry about me. Thanks, though.”
Elijah’saw her legs dangling like that and felt his heart jump into his throat. He took slow, careful steps toward her, trying to keep his voice calm. “Cameron, come on. That’s not safe. Whatever’s going on, you can tell me. Just leave here, alright?” Cameron didn’t respond. She just tilted her head back and looked at the sky. The night was clear, and the moon bright-too peaceful for what was happening on that rooftop.
Elijah tried again. “Cameron, I don’t know what you’re dealing with, but nothing’s worth throwing your life away. Just get down, okay?”
Elijah wasn’t the talkative type. Coming up with this much to say in one go was already pushing his limits.
But Cameron wasn’t swayed by him. She turned around and glared at him, threatening. “Elijah, if you say one more word, I swear I’ll jump right now.”
Elijah instantly shut up and froze on the spot. But he didn’t leave. He just stood there, about ten feet behind her, quiet as a shadow.
