Milena stood up. "Alright, let''s do the patemity test right now. Pick the hospital, so you can''t uses of ripping the results."
Martin agreed, "Let''s go now."
Heidi got up too. "Come on."
If they moved fast, they could have the results in as little as three hours. By tonight, the truth would be out
Seeing the unwavering determination on all three faces, Cameron felt her heart tremble. Finally, she stood. "Fine. Let''s po
Cameron didn''t trust anyone else, so she contacted David, and he took care of everything. With that, the four of them headed straight to Crownhill Hospital.
For the test, they drew blood and took hair samples.
David nced between Martin, Heidi, and Milena, then out at the dark night beyond the windows. Turning to Cameron, he said gently, "Mr. Wace, the results will be ready in three hours. It''s gettingte, so you should head home first. I''ll bring the results to youter."
Cameron shook her head. "No, I''ll wait
She wanted to stay right here. She needed to know the results the moment they came out.
Seeing the look on Cameron''s face, David knew there was no point trying to talk her out of it. After all, there was nothing much he could say at this point.
So instead, he simply ced a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and Cameron gave him a slight ned, indicating that she was fine.
As soon as David left, Heidi immediately turned to ask, "Cameron, did I hear that right? That doctor just called you ''Mr. Wace''? Since when are you some big shot?"
Cameron crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. "Mrs. Wace, until the paternity test results are out, please don''t talk to me."
Heidi red at her. "You just won''t believe it until you see the evidence, huh? How could I have given birth to someone as scheming, ruthless, cold, and selfish as you?
Cameron just smirked. She really didn''t have the energy to argue with Heidi right
now.
Milena tugged at Heidi''s sleeve. "Mom, you must''ve misheard. Mr. Wace? Like Cameron could ever be that. He was probably talking to Dad."
Heidi thought about it and nodded. "That must be it."
Martin didn''t say a word and just shot Cameron a couple of silent nces.
He didn''t need to say anything because once the paternity test results were out, all he wanted was for Cameron to hand over that 15-million-dor
check. All he cared about was the money.
The waiting process felt like forever. During this time, Cameron''s phone buzzed with a text from Elijah.
Elijah: Cameron, you''ve been out for a while. Did those three do anything to you?]
Cameron was quiet for a moment before replying I''m fine
Then, she just turned off her phone. Right now, she didn''t want to deal with anyone.
The waiting was excruciating. Cameron just sat quietly in her chair, with memories ying in her mind like scenes from a movie.
Every moment she''d ever spent in Wace Vi, from childhood until now, yed out before her eyes, one after another.
No matter what she did, how well she did it, or how hard she tried, her parents never seemed to notice her at
But Milena didn''t have to do anything to receive their unconditional love
Growing up, Cameron felt envy, jealousy, and resentment toward Milena. She was better than Milena in every way, so why didn''t her parents love her
She had always been a good kid. When they told her to dress like a boy, she did it withoutint. When they told her to suck up to Amelia, she did it without hesitation.
Before she got into Langford Academy, her grades were always at the top of her ss, which was how she made it into the elite ss 15.
But to her parents, Milena, who couldn''tpare to Cameron in any aspect, was a treasure, while she was just a weed.
No matter how hard she tried, Cameron just couldn''t make sense of it. But if she was never their biological daughter to begin with, and if they had stolen her from somewhere, everything would all make sense.
Cameron''s eyes were cold and empty, staring into nothing,
Milena sat off to the side, grumbling. "Three hours? That''s forever. Mom, Dad, I''m heading out for a coffee. You guys hold down the fort here."
