asleep, Bill wasn't concerned. He spoke softly to Philippa, "Don't worry, Damian said Zoey is only in a coma.
She'll be okay?
At his nonchalant tone, Philippa spun around, her eyes flathing with anger. "Be quiet! Who are you to say such
things!"
Bill assumed her outtirst was just a result of pregnancy emotions, so he remained calm "Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
It's all my fault, don't be upset
Philippa's frustration grew as she saw how oblivious Bill was 'It's because of you that Zoey is in this condition
now! Leave, | don't want to see you!" she shouted.
Bill couldn't understand the depth of her fear. She had already lost Zoey, but at least her body was stil here-
there was still a chance. If she lost that too, it would truly be the end of her daughter.
Just then, Carter entered, pushed inside by someone. He said urgently. "Philippa, please calm down. | need Bill's
help.
Bill finally sensed that something was off. "Are you all keeping something from me?" he asked, his voice filled
with suspicion.
The doctor had clearly stated that Zoey had only fainted, but Philippa's frantic expression and Carter calling
them to the hospital before dawn made Bill increasingly suspicious.
His eyes shifted between Carter and Philippa, wondering what secrets were hidden about Zoey-

"What kind of favor? Tell me," Philippa demanded.
"Your blood, Carter replied bluntly.

The more he thought about it, the less it made sense. If you're not being honest, I'm not giving my blood," he
declared firmly.
Philippa was about to speak again when Carter reached into his pocket, pulled out a pendant, and set it on the
table. He said calmly, "Chloe, cout." "Chloe?" Bill murmured, confused.
At the next moment, | appeared before them. Philippa froze, utterly shocked.
Her mind flashed back to my funeral, the memory of the large portrait that had dominated the hall.
Though Zoey and | shared similar features, there was no mistaking we were not the sperson.
Slowly, she approached me, disbelief etched on her face. "You...you're Chloe Sander?" she whispered, her voice

"What do you mean, Chloe Sander? Chloe is dead... Bill's voice faltered as he stared at me, his eyes wide with
disbelief.

"Are you a ghost?" he asked, his voice steady despite the absurdity of the situation.
Bill had seen many strange things in his life, and though this was unsettling, he maintained his
composure.
Turning to Carter, his tone sharpened. "What is this nonsense? What does my daughter have to do with this dead
Chloe?
Philippa, however, couldn't hold back her tears any longer. They streamed down her face as she cried, "Bill, can't
you feel it? Our daughter has been dead for a long time."
Bill was taken aback.
His expression shifted tically. It was as if fragmented memories surfaced, connecting the dots. Zoey and |
had always been completely different-our personalities, our demeanor. We were clearly not the sperson.

things. Death is not something to talk about lightly!" he said, his voice rising in denial.
I met his reddened eyes with a steady gaze and said calmly, "Bill, Zoey has been gone for a long time. She died
because you ignored her over and over again. I'm only here because | borrowed her body to continue living
My words tore through his denial like glass shattering. continued coldly. "Do you want to know why | pushed Mom
to divorce you? It's because you, the arrogant father, drove your own daughter to her death. You don't deserve
to be her father, and you certainly don't deserve to be a husband."

"From the tshe was little to the moment she grew up, all Zoey longed for was your affection and attention. A
few kind words from you could have filled her life with meaning. Instead, Sadie and Monica's relentless plots,
Ashley's betrayal, and your indifferent stares dragged her into despair at such a tender age. In the end, she
couldn't bear the weight anymore and close to leave this world"
Bill's hands trembled as his voice cracked. "No, that's not true. I... | cared for her, | loved her! How could I not? |
just... I didn't know how to show it. Everything | did was for Philippa to return to me. | never meant to hurt Zoey.
How could it cto this?" His face turned ghostly white as he rushed to the bed and scooped up Zoey's lifeless

"I'm not as naive as you, treating someone else's daughter like a precious gem. Zoey is my own daughter. How
could a mother not recognize her own child?"
"So, you're just letting other wandering souls take over our daughter's body?" Bill's mind was in turmoil, the
weight of the situation pressing down on him.
"Bill, if it weren't for Chloe, our daughter's body would have decayed long ago. Chloe is keeping Zoey alive, and
our daughter will stay with us forever! Chloe is like a daughter to me, I've treated her as my own. Now that Chloe
has left Zoey's body, if we don't do something, both of them will vanish. Keeping Chloe is the sas keeping
