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.

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
