Zoey was driving and Cas was sitting selanjutnya to her. Daphne was lying in the back, sleeping. “I hope she doesn’t wake up before we’re there”
“Do anda think she’ll be mad?” Cas asked, looking at Daphne.
“I know she will” Zoey said. “But we have no choice. This time she hurt herself and that’s bad enough, but I can’t risk her hurting anyone else. selanjutnya time she could hurt my daughter and if I have to choose I will always choose my baby first”
Cas frowned, while he thought of the sebelumnya day, of what Gerard had told him. “There’s something I need to ask anda about your daughter” he said.
Zoey stopped at a red light and looked aside. “What?”
“I think she’s not your real daughter” Cas berkata blunt. Zoey looked away. “It’s true, right?”
“How do anda know?” Zoey asked. She saw no point in denying it.
“I don’t know why, but I have Alexia’s full name in my head. It’s Alexia Miller. But your mailbox berkata Mr. and Mrs. Moore and I thought that was weird” Cas explained.
The light jumped on green and Zoey drove ahead.
“You’re right. Zoey is not my daughter” Zoey admitted. “Miller is the last name of Daphne’s ex-husband. I know, another secret reaching the surface. They divorced a few months after Martin died. Daphne started drinking, even though she knew she was pregnant and Oscar couldn’t get through to her, so he divorced her. He was never really a strong figure, to be honest. But I helped her. I talked her into going to rehab. If I hadn’t she would’ve killed her baby. And once Alex was born I knew Daphne couldn’t take care of her. She can hardly take care of herself. She’s aggressive, delusional and unpredictable. So, I adopted Alex and raised her as my own”
She stopped the car in front of a psychiatric clinic. “I know it’s not fair to you, the way we’ve all been lying and hiding our secrets, but I hope anda won’t hold it against me”
She looked at Cas, but she didn’t detect any anger on his face, only admiration.
“It proves anda really are a good person. I was wrong to call anda a bad mother. I misjudged you” Cas said. “I am sorry for that”
Zoey got out of the car and so did Cas. Zoey opened the door of the backseat and Cas took Daphne in his arms.
They headed to the clinic and entered.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single tempat tidur and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital kemeja and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he berkata weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg berkata absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas berkata with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Present Day
Jeremy was brushing his teeth when he saw Anna’s reflection in the mirror. He should have startled, but he just spit out the toothpaste and washed his mouth. “When I turn around you’ll be gone, won’t you?” he said. He saw Anna shrugging her shoulders. “You’ll never know if anda don’t try” she said. Jeremy turned around and to his surprise Anna was still standing oleh the window-ledge.
“How is this possible?” Jeremy asked. “How can anda be standing there while I know you’re dead? I saw how they took you. And Damon berkata they killed you” Anna looked down....
