Chapter 1034

As Rebecca was being loaded into the ambulance, Jonah drove Hailey straight to hospital.

At the hospital, the doctor treated Rebecca’s wound. “The cut is fairly deep. You’ll need to keep it dry while it heals. There’s a strong possibility a scar will remain on your forehead.”
Rebecca froze. “A scar? On my forehead?”
She had spent a fortune sculpting her face to perfection. Just as her beauty was starting to open doors, her flawless appearance was now threatened.
It felt like a cruel twist of fate. She had intended to use her beauty as a weapon.
The doctor nodded. “Yes, there’s a high chance. If you want the scar removed, plastic surgery will be your best option.”
Hailey listened in silence. “Thank you, doctor,” she said.
Without another word, the doctor turned and walked out.
Hailey remained in the hospital room. “Rebecca, you should spend the night here. They’ll likely discharge you tomorrow.”
When she glanced into the mirror, Rebecca saw her pale face and the thick bandages securely wrapped around her forehead.
It was a sight she couldn’t bring herself to accept.
“How did I end up like this?” she whispered.
“Rebecca, I admit Jonah went too far this time, but maybe it’s a wake-up call. Next time, don’t just walk into someone else’s room. It can be dangerous,” Hailey said bluntly.
Though furious, Rebecca had no way to release her pent-up frustration.
At last, she said, “Hailey, I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble this time.”
As usual, she resorted to playing the victim.
“Rebecca, I’m only letting you stay with me because I understand how difficult things are with your family. But if you realize your actions create problems for others, you need to stop,” Hailey said firmly.
Rebecca was left momentarily speechless.
“Anyway, you should get some rest. I’m heading home now. Jonah is still waiting for me outside.”
With that, Hailey left the room.
Rebecca felt her anger boil over. Hailey hadn’t come to offer support she was here to rile her up and pull her down even more.
In a sudden burst of frustration, Rebecca grabbed the teacup and threw it to the floor. She wasn’t about to let this go without a fight.
Meanwhile, Hailey walked down the hospital corridor. However, instead of going straight to Jonah, she headed toward the doctor’s office. “Excuse me, doctor.”
The doctor who had bandaged Rebecca’s wound stood up. “How can I assist you, Ms. Hailey?”
“Did you notice anything unusual while treating Rebecca earlier?” Hailey asked.
The doctor frowned slightly. “Unusual? What do you mean?”
“I’m not sure how to explain it, but there’s something about Rebecca that feels strangely familiar. It’s like shes connected to my past, thought can’t place when or where,” Bailey said.
The doctor thought for a moment. “Ms. Hailey, Rebecca has undergone plastic surgery.”
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. “Plastic surgery? Are you saying her appearance has been altered?”
She had never even considered that possibility. Her own face was all natural and never touched by any kind of procedure.
She couldn’t make sense of it all.
The doctor nodded. “Yes, Ms. Hailey. While I was bandaging Rebecca’s forehead, I couldn’t help but notice
the subtle sig
of plastic surgery in fact, about 90% of her face has been reconstructed.”
“90%? That must mean she’s barely recognizable now, right?” Hailey asked.
The doctor nodded. “Yes, Ms. Hailey, I suppose you could say that.”
Suddenly, Hailey understood why Rebecca always seemed so hauntingly familiar to
her.
Rebecca had completely changed her face.
But if that was true, then who was she?
Suddenly, a thought crossed Hailey’s mind. Though Ewan was already in custody, there was still another person who had vanished without explanation.
That person was Melody.
