Chapter 213

“Foebe, you’re not Phoebe; you just aren’t!” Melody’s cries filled the air.

A nurse hurried over to calm her; sensing trouble, she called for a doctor.

I took a step back, looking at Melody who was in despair, “The Langley family won’t shield you, and I don’t need to hear Phoebe’s secrets from you, Melody. You’ve made your bed; now you must lie in it. No one can save you.”

I ignored her. Her hysterical screams continued.
