Eddie: [Friend? Your friend? Who? Cam)I


    Bradley: (Eddie, just answer the question. Can you stop with all these questions for once?]


    Eddie: [Fine. Look, there''s only so muchfort you can offer. This kind of thing? He''s gotta work through it himself. Nobody alea can do it for him, if your friend''s developing psychological issues because of this, I can talk to him.II


    Bradley: Can''t you just teach me how?


    Eddie: Dude, this is literally my future career. Not teaching you my secrets, if you''re that interested, go major in psychology


    Bradley was speechless. He closed out of his chat with Eddie and opened his conversation with Cameron.


    Bradley: Cam, sorry, but identally found out about what happened today. I actually think this is a good thing. You''re not biologically rted to the Waces, which means you can finally cut ties with thempletely. Just keep that paternity test sale.


    Bradley: [Also, if you need someone to talk to, or just need to blow off steam- drinks, or even just hanging out-text me, I''m free whenever


    After sending the messages, Bradley kept his phone clutched in his hand. He eventually fell asleep without getting any response from Cameron


    Meanwhile, at the cemetery on the outskirts of town.


    Undercover of darkness, a figure was frantically digging at a grave with a shovel Finally, she broke through and pulled out the urn inside.


    Cameron held the container high above her head and smashed it down with all her strength.


    The urn shattered into pieces. Ashes scattered everywhere across the ground.


    "Yuck!" Cameron hissed through clenched teeth, her face twisted with disgust. She red coldly at the photo on the headstone. The woman was smiling at her, a smile that made Cameron''s stomach turn.


    This was Jessica Wace, Milena''s aunt. Once upon a time, she''d been the person Cameron trusted most in the world.


    All those years, Cameron had been touched by Jessica''s kindness. Now she realized it was probably just guilt eating away at the woman.


    "Disgusting"Cameron thought. Dead or not, she would have her revenge. She''d dug up her grave and destroyed her um.


    Cameron sat on the ground, staring up at the stars twinkling in the night sky. A smile slowly spread across her lips. "Heh.""


    ''What a relief, Cameron thought. She wasn''t Martin and Heidi''s daughter after all. She was stolen. She didn''t have such shameless parents or such a revolting sister


    As for her real parents, it didn''t matter. They probably thought Cameron was dead anyway.


    They didn''t even know that they''d actually had a daughter, not a son who died at birth.


    Cameron had never felt any real family connection with Martin and Heidi, so she wasn''t about to start hoping for it now


    Cameron got up, left the graveyard, and headed back to Silvermoss Castle.


    The next day, someone came to visit the gemetery. They discovered Jessica''s grave had been dug up.


    "My goodness, what kind of terrible things did she do to deserve having her grave desecrated?" and muttered:


    "Must''ve been pretty anyful to get treated like this.”


    "Damn."


    The moment Bradley opened his eyes that morning, he grabbed his phone, but there were no messages from Cameron


    ''It''s been an entire night, Where the hell has Cameron gone?" Bradley wondered.


    Elijah did the same thing, immediately checking if Cameron had responded to any of his texts. Yesterday, he''d called and messaged him countless times Austin had done the same.


    Xander hadn''t texted Cameron, but first thing in the morning, he tried calling him, but her phone was still switched off


    While all four of them were worrying themselves sick, Cameron was actually sound asleep in a plush bed at Silvermoss Castle


    Having returned sotest night, she remained in deep sleep-even though sunlight was streaming through the windows.
