Chapter 1036
Shaun could’ve driven Sierra straight to the hospital himself, but instead, Halsey had Jocelyn call an
ambulance.
Sierra was loaded into the back while Shaun drove Halsey there in his own car.
At the hospital, the doctor cleaned Sierra’s wound. “Your cut is pretty deep. You’ll need to keep it dry for a while. And there’s a good chance you’ll have a scar on your forehead.”
Sierra froze. “Wait, what? A scar? On my forehead?”
She had spent a fortune on her face, and she hadn’t even gotten the full payoff of her looks yet. Now, her forehead might end up with a permanent scar?
It was like a bolt from the blue. She had planned to use her beauty like a weapon.
The doctor nodded. “Most likely, yes. If you want to get rid of it later, cosmetic procedures are your only option.”
Halsey, standing by, nodded politely. “Thank you, doctor.” (2
When the doctor left, Halsey turned back to Sierra. “You should stay here overnight. They’ll let you out
tomorrow.”
Sierra pulled out a mirror. Her forehead was wrapped in thick bandages, her face pale; she couldn’t accept what she saw.
“Why did this happen to me?”
Halsey sighed. “Shaun hit harder than he should have. But let this be a lesson. Don’t go sneaking into other people’s rooms. It’s dangerous.”
Sierra bit her tongue, her anger boiling with no way to vent.
Finally, she said, “I’m sorry. I caused you trouble this time.”
She softened her voice, slipping back into her fragile act.
Halsey shook her head. “I only let you stay because of your complicated situation. But if you know something’s going to cause problems for other people, maybe don’t do it next time.”
Sierra’s lips pressed into a thin line.
Halsey glanced at her watch. “Get some rest. I’m heading home–Shaun’s still waiting for me outside.”
With that, she left.
Sierra was furious. Halsey hadn’t come to support her–she’d come to rub salt in the wound.

In a fit of rage, Sierra grabbed the glass off the table and hurled it onto the floor, shattering it. She wasn’t
about to let this go.
Meanwhile, Halsey walked down the hospital corridor. Instead of meeting Shaun right away, she slipped
into the doctor’s office. “Hi, doctor.”
The same physician who had bandaged Sierra stood up quickly. “Ms. Mallin, what can I do for you?”
Halsey lowered her voice. “When you treated Sierra, did you notice anything unusual?”
The doctor frowned. “Unusual? What do you mean?”
“I can’t really explain. She just feels familiar somehow. But I can’t place her.”
The doctor thought for a moment. “Ms. Fletcher has had plastic surgery.”
Halsey blinked. Plastic surgery? You mean her whole face?”
She had never considered that possibility. She had always had her natural features, untouched by
cosmetic work, so the idea hadn’t even crossed her mind.
The doctor nodded. “Yes. When I cleaned her forehead, I could tell right away. Her face has been
surgically altered by about 90%.”
“That’s a lot!” Halsey gasped. “So, basically, it’s not even her real face anymore?”
“Yeah, you could say that.”
And suddenly, it clicked.
That was why Sierra felt so familiar but unrecognizable at the same time–because she wasn’t really Sierra. She was someone else, wearing a brand–new face.
So, who was she?
Halsey’s stomach tightened as a name flashed through her mind. Gilbert was already in custody, but there was another person who had vanished without a trace.
Sienna.
