“What’s wrong with friends helping each other?”
“When’s the last time e you went that hard for any other friend?”
“My other friends don’t need that kind of help. We’re from the same world.”
“You’re just in denial, Brad.”
Speechless, Bradley rubbed his forehead. “Eric, this is beyond ridiculous.”
Bradley stared at Eric, suddenly realizing something. He clamped a hand down on Eric’s leg. “Eric, was your car accident fake?”
Eric ended up denying it. “Of course not. I just wasn’t that badly hurt.”
Bradley gave a noncommittal nod po date a girl.”
Eric said, “Brad, take my advice-quit while you’re ahead. Stop contacting Cameron and go
Bradley shook his head. “You’re overreacting, Eric.
He and Cameron were just friends. He believed Eric was making something out of nothing
Annoyed that Bradley wasn’t listening, Erie said firmly, “Brad, I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t bring trouble on yourself”
“Eric, you’re really overcomplicating this.
Seeing he wasn’t getting through, Eric grew imitated. “Bradley, even if you like Cameron, does he like
* you back!
Bradley wanted to say Eric was being unreasonable, but Eric was already dead set on the idea. Anything he said would just sound like a den
So he simply said, “I deal with my own things, Eric. What you’re thinking will never happen. Since you’re okay here, I’m going back home?
Eric said, “Wait. I’m still hurt. What do you mean I’m okay”?”
Bradley adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. “Need me to help you take off that cast?”
Speechless, Eric inmediately finched his right leg back.
He thought, Tine, Brad is too sharp to be deceived. But am just going to let him leave the thist that way, my days of taking in injury wit
Eric suddenly rolled off the bed and grabbed Bradley’s hand. “Brad, promise me you won’t do anything stupid after you go back F
Bradley gently brushed his hand away “Eile, we’re not getting through this “
“Eric, enough,” Bradley cut in. Don’t worry. Cameron and I are just friends. Pothing else
“Swear it.”
Bradley sighed. “Isaveat
At that, Eric slowly let out a breath. But deep down, he still wasn’t at ease. What could he do, though? He couldn’t exactly keep Bradley chained to his-
Bradley stood up and patted Eric’s shoulder. “I’m off, then.”
“Already?” Eric wondered, ‘Does he really have to hurry so much?”
Bradley said, “I’ll book a flight for tomorrow.”
Eric took off the gauze from his head. “Alright, then. Tonight il take you to try Flora’s food. Thanks for babysitting this fake patient these past few days.”
Bradley smiled, “At least you have some sense of gratitude”
In Viremont, Cameron was woken by her 7:30 am, alarm.
She had to go do odd jobs at Aurevia Biotech today. Living in the hillside castle was pretty inconvenient. Cameron decided to move back to Noble Vista tonight.
She’d come to check on Pearl once a week. Once she got her driver’s license and bought a car, she’d move back.
After washing up, she went downstairs for breakfast. Her phone on the nightstand lit up over and over. She didn’t need to guess-Xander
When Cameron finished breakfast and picked up her phone, she saw a string of messages from Xander. She skimmed through them quickly.
He asked if she was up, what her plans were for the day, and if she wanted to go out.
Cameron replied: I have to work. I’m not free.]
Xander shot back instantly: Where do you work? I’ll swing by to see you.
Cameron: No. Your visit will mess with my work.)
Speechless, Xander thought, “I am not a kid-how could I possibly mess with her job?”
Xander: [Can’t just come say hi? That’s all.
Cameron [Nope.]
Xander: [Cameron, you’re being ? tam killjoyi 1 just want to s
Cameron: [Keep bugging me and Til block your number]
Chitching his phone, Xander skethed, thinking. Whether Cameron is a boy or a girl, she has a talent for driving me nuts, fine if I there, 111 hold off for now to avoid getting on her nerves,
At lunch, Cameron got a message fem Elijah: (Cameron, I tried setting up a dinner with my dad and you, but he’s swamped lately. He’s free for an hour this afternoon from 2 to 3. Are you available?]
[We need to meet him at the hospital.]
Putting down her fork, Cameron replied: (woah, I’m free. Thanks, Elijah Which hospital? Where should we meet
Elijah: 12 pm, at Greenfield Gender Surgery Center, That’s where my dad is today. Let’s meet out front
Reading Elijah’s message, Cameron paused. That was the place where her tragic previous life started, and there her new life began. “Need to shy away from it, she thought.
Cameron replied: [Got it.]
Cameron welled down her bench.
Nelling how hurtled she looked, David couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Wallace, do you have something urgent later?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah, I need to meet Mr. Moore later.”
David was surprised. “Mr. Moore? You got an appointment that quirk?”
Just yesterday, Cameron had said she wanted to find time to visit Thomas. She moved fast. He hadn’t expected somente as big as Thomas to be so easy to book.
Cameron joked, “We have an insider how could it not be last?”
David laughed, “Nice ore, Mr. Wallace.”
Cameron went back to David’s office to grab some afternoon materials. It was exactly 1 p.m.
David said, “Mr. Wallace, let me send someone to drive you!”
Cameron waved him off. “No need. I’ll take a cab.”
“Mr. Wallace, you’re too low key.”
Cameron smiled, “Of course I gotta keep a low profile. The company’s official bosk is you,”
David smiled helplessly, “Want me to send someone to pick you up later?”
Cameron shook her head. “Nope.”
When Cameron arrived at Greenfield Gender Surgery Center, it was 1:30p.m.-half an hour early.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the car, she got a message from Elijah: I’m here already. Heading to my dad’s office to wait Text when you’re here, and ‘ come down
Cameron: Look behind you.] his phone and saw Cameron standing right behind him. A faint smile crossed Elijah’s serious face. “You’re early”
Elijah turned with his
Cameron replied, “So are you.”
Elijah said, “Come on, let’s wait in my dad’s office.”
Cameron nodded. “Okay.”
“Good day, Mr. Moore
