Cas walked out of the room, while the nurses tied Daphne onto the bed. He leaned against the mural and felt his coração beating in his chest.
“It’s my fault” he heard Zoey said. She was leaning against the opposite wall. “I told her you only stayed with her because you feel sorry for her. And now look what she’s done to herself. What kind of sister am I? I know she’s not well and yet I leave her alone?”
Cas walked towards and lay his hand on her arm. “It’s not your fault, Zoey. You did the best you could”
Zoey shook her head. “I can’t do this anymore. It’s too much” she cried. She lay her head on Cas’ shoulder and sobbed. Cas put his arms around her and tried to comfort her.
“I’m sorry” Zoey said. Her voice sounded like she had a cold. She let go of Cas. “It’s just…my whole life I’ve tried to be the strongest one, I’ve tried not to fall apart. But she makes it so damn hard for me” She took a few deep breaths; she seemed exhausted. She looked up at Cas. “I can’t do it anymore, Emmanuel. You have to convince her to go back to the clinic” she begged with tears in her eyes.
