Keaton squinted his eyes, a mischievous glint in them, as he greeted him, "Mr. Livingston, stop daydreaming and get in there to see your wife. It's embarrassing not to be able to take care of your own spouse!" Zane furrowed his brow slightly but entered the hospital room.
Inside, Elysia and Blossom were earnestly trying to jog Winona's memory. "Winona, it's me, Blossom! Do you really not rememberand Elysia?!"

The moment Winona saw him, she becvisibly agitated, "Zane! Cheating! Boo hoo... cheating, cheating..." Zane froze, shocked to his core! He had confirmed tand again that Winona had forgotten the reason behind their last argument.
So why did she remember him cheating? Elysia's heart skipped a beat-did Winona know about Zane's indiscretion? Tarquin and Keaton exchanged surprised glances as well. Winona wasn't supposed to know.
If she did, Zane wouldn't have been so eager to bring her back! The room was eerily silent, save for Winona's sobs...
Suddenly, Winona ran over and clung to Zane, "Dad... he... he cheated during the marriage, boo hoo hoo..." Everyone: "?!" So Winona was talking about Ridley? Not Zane? Relief washed over Zane, his heart finally at ease. He held Winona tightly, guiding her through the confusion, "Last year, when you suddenly quit the show, was it because you found out Dad cheated?" Winona nodded vigorously, "Yes! I had just signed with the cast when I found out. I was furious, too upset to act! How could he do such a thing? He betrayed Mom!" With Zane, Winona seemed more herself.
Zane, trying to maintain a grave demeanor, eyes red from unshed tears, "You silly girl. Why didn't you tell me? We could've confronted Dad together." "I didn't want to. I felt so ashamed." "But I'm not a stranger, silly. You scared Mom andhalf to death! I'm just glad you're back. You're safe now." Winona nestled against him, tears flowing freely.

Tarquin gave her a reassuring look, signaling her to stay calm.
Ridley rushed in, looking distraught, and Winona's emotions flared up, "...I don't want to see you! Go away! Leave!" Ridley's eyes were filled with tears, "Winona, it's me, your father!"
