Chapter 13 Donovan and Kenny came up as well , their faces a mix of guilt and relief . Rylan stood off to the side , eyes locked on Gigi . He had so much to say but didn't know where to start . He knew it was their fault she had suffered so much , and the last thing he wanted was to make things worse by coming back into her life . Gigi scrunched up her brows . Their sudden change in attitude threw her off . With a hard look on her face , she shoved them away . " Did you all get the wrong person ? Take a good look . I'm Gigi , not your precious Catherine . " Those words cut deep , as if their hearts were being torn apart . Kenny couldn't hold back anymore . He grabbed her hand and explained what they had learned . They had already found out about all the awful things Catherine had done and everything Gigi had been through . They also realized the one who truly deserved their love and care wasn't Catherine - it was Gigi , the one who actually cared about them . Kenny's words were heavy with guilt , his eyes red and brimming with tears . But Gigi just looked at them like they were strangers . She indifferently chuckled . " Now that you've finally seen Catherine's true colors , you suddenly remembered I'm your daughter ? Isn't it a little too late ? " Meredith broke down in tears the moment she heard those words . She stepped up and tried to grab Gigi's hand . " I'm sorry , Gigi . I've realized my mistake . You're my daughter . I can't lose you . " Gigi avoided Meredith's hand and shook her head . " Things can never go back to the way they were . I've found a new life and a new family here . " Donovan looked at Gigi , his eyes widening in disbelief . " A new family ? What is that supposed to mean , Gigi ? " Gigi stayed calm as she slowly explained , " A few days ago , I rescued a couple and a man by the shore . They turned out to be a family . " As a way of showing their gratitude , they welcomed me into their family as a goddaughter . These days , they care for me like I'm one of their own , giving me the kind of love and warmth I never had before . " Rylan felt a pang in his chest . " You barely know anything about them , Gigi . Why would you trust them so quickly ? " Please , Gigi . Come home with me . Our wedding is right around the corner . I was an idiot who mixed you up with someone else . Can you forgive me ? " Gigi turned to Rylan , her eyes cold and distant . " Do you seriously think an apology is enough to fix it all , Rylan ? I wanted nothing more than your love back then , but all you did was hurt me . I've moved on . Forget about the wedding . I'm done with you . " Meredith hurried toward Gigi at those words , tears streaming down her cheeks . " I know I've messed up , Gigi . I'll make it up to you . Please come home with us . " Gigi nonchalantly shook her head . " You should leave . Life here has been good to me . My new family has shown me what real love feels like . " Frowning , Donovan looked pained and deeply regretful . " I failed you , Gigi . I was fooled by Catherine and didn't realize what you were going through . Can you give me another chance ? " Gigi stared at Donovan , her emotions all over the place . She used to dream of hearing those words from Donovan , but now , it didn't matter anymore . " Some wounds never really heal . I just want peace in my life now . " Kenny also came forward . " I wasn't the brother you deserved , Gigi . I shouldn't have backed Catherine up and helped her pick on you . Please come home with us . I promise I'll make it up to you . " Gigi didn't budge . " Let the past stay in the past . I've started a new life , and I'm not going back . " Rylan couldn't bear to lose Gigi and anxiously said , " I know I was unbelievably wrong , Gigi . But my love for you has never changed Give me one chance . I'll prove it with the rest of my life . " Gigi snickered " Your love means nothing , Rylan . All you ever did was use me to keep Catherine safe . I'm not blind anymore . " The Hart family lowered their heads in shame after hearing Gigi's words . They knew earning her forgiveness wouldn't be easy .
