Chapter 9 Catherine lay in the hospital bed . Her face was as white as a sheet , her lips drained of color , and her eyes clamped shut . Her brows were scrunched up like she was trapped in some never - ending nightmare . Donovan and Meredith anxiously paced back and forth . Meanwhile , Kenny kept dialing Gigi over and over , but all he got was a prerecorded message telling him the person he was trying to call was unavailable . Rylan stood off to the side , a dark look flashing in his eyes . He whipped out his phone , dialed a number , and spat out , " Find me someone with Rh - null blood and send them to the hospital . I don't care what it takes . " After telling them what to do , he ended the call and hurried over to Catherine's bed , his face tight with worry . After the transfusion , Catherine's face regained some color . Donovan , Meredith , and Kenny breathed a sigh of relief . Rylan's eyes were still full of concern as he looked at Catherine . " Rest up , Catherine . I'm heading back to check on Gigi . " He rushed back to the Hart residence . As soon as he walked through the door , he was immediately struck by how eerily quiet it was . As he entered the living room , he saw the Bowen family's heirloom and the document that indicated Gigi was severing ties with her parents on the table . His face went ashen . His fingers trembled as he picked up the document , eyes locked on Gigi's signature . Donovan , Meredith , and Kenny came back shortly after . When they saw what was on the table , they all froze . Meredith snapped back to reality first . She grabbed the document , tore it to shreds , and shouted , " What an ungrateful brat! How could she do this ? " ………. Donovan's face twisted with anger as he muttered , " She's just throwing a tantrum . She really thinks she can walk away from this family and call off the wedding with the Bowen family ? " She's just being a brat . Let's see how long she lasts out there on her own . She'll be back with her tail between her legs soon enough . " Kenny snorted . " That's all it is . She's just trying to get our attention . Someone needs to set her straight . Let's forget about her for now . We should get back to the hospital and stay with Catherine . " Gigi picked the worst possible time to act out . Catherine just got hurt . If something happens to Catherine , Gigi is going to pay for it . " With that , the Harts stormed out , slamming the door behind them . Only Rylan stayed behind , clutching the family heirloom as a wave of dread washed over him . Was Gigi just throwing a fit ? Was she coming back ? They hadn't gotten married yet , and she loved him so much . She had to come back He kept telling himself that over and over , then tucked the necklace close to his chest and hurried out the door . Rylan and the rest of the Hart family hurried back to the hospital , worry weighing heavily on thern as they made their way to Catherine's room As they reached the door , they heard her soft , delicate voice from inside . She seemed to be on the phone . " I'm exhausted from pretending to fall off that mountain . I went through so much to get rid of Gigi . " I've faked everything from fainting to falling down the stairs , Last time , I even pretended to hit the gas by mistake and ran her over Despite that , she still stuck around . " But thank God it's all over now . Gigi is gone , and no one will fight me for anything anymore . I can finally stop acting like some poor little thing .

" Why did you do that , Catherine ? " Catherine rushed over and grabbed them, bawling her eyes out . " I'm sorry , Mom , Dad , Kenny . I was just so scared of losing your love . It was just me at first , and then Gigi came along . I was afraid you would stop loving me as much . " Donovan and Meredith lashed out . " Gigi was born because of you . How could you even think we would treat her better than you ? If anything , we spoiled you even more over the years . Didn't you realize that ? Why pull all these stunts ? " Kenny was also infuriated , adding , " I honestly thought it was an accident . Gigi was bleeding all over , and all I did was comfort you . Now you're saying it's intentional ? You've let me down , Catherine . " Noticing her parents ' and brother's fury , Catherine instantly changed her tune . She clung to their sleeves , crying and pleading , " I didn't mean for it to happen . I swear it won't happen again . I know I broke your hearts , but you've always loved me the most . Can you please forgive me ? " Every time you couldn't sleep or had a splitting headache , I made those scented candles for you , Dad , Mom . And don't forget about the earthquake , Kenny - I risked my life to pull you out of the rubble . " Kenny's gaze wavered for a moment . Meanwhile , Donovan and Meredith looked a little torn . á Catherine turned to Rylan with a pitiful look . " I know you like me , Rylan . You fell in love with me the moment you saw me dancing in the garden . " Gigi was only brought into this world to give me blood .
