Days Shocking Secret – EJ Breaks Down After Learning Cat Was the “Angel in the Dark” in Italy!
In the unpredictable, emotionally charged world of Days of Our Lives, no revelation hits harder than a truth that rewrites the past. This time, the spotlight falls on EJ DiMera—a man who has survived betrayal, violence, political warfare, and heartbreak—only to discover that the greatest secret of his life has been hiding in plain sight. The mystery voice that once kept him tethered to life in an Italian hospital… belonged to someone he sees every day in Salem. Someone who unknowingly saved him, healed with him, and shared a bond that neither of them knew existed. And now, when the truth comes out, EJ collapses under the weight of it.
This is the shocking, heart-wrenching story of how EJ discovers that Cat Green was the “angel in the dark”—the voice that reached him when he was trapped between life and death.
The Darkness That Nearly Claimed EJ
While Salem remembers EJ’s disappearance years ago as a turbulent chapter marked by danger and deception, only a handful of people know how close he truly came to dying. After Clyde Weston’s brutal orchestration left EJ broken beyond recognition, he was rushed to a private Italian recovery facility. His injuries were catastrophic—his body mummified in bandages, his mind barely functioning, and his chances of survival slim.
Doctors hovered over him like grim-faced specters, telling Sami Brady that EJ’s brain activity was almost nonexistent. Machines breathed for him. Tubes fed him. And the man who once commanded boardrooms, courtrooms, and entire dynasties now hovered in a twilight realm where consciousness flickered like a dying candle.
To EJ, reality existed only in fragments—swirling shadows, muted sounds, and suffocating silence.
Until the silence broke.
A voice, soft but steady, seeped into the darkness. It wasn’t a nurse. It wasn’t Sami. It wasn’t medical chatter in hushed Italian. It was a voice filled with warmth, empathy, and emotion—reading passages from Wuthering Heights with such passion it cut through the void. Every word carried life. Every sentence pulled him back from oblivion. Though EJ couldn’t open his eyes, couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, he clung to that voice as his lifeline.
He didn’t know her name. He didn’t know her face. But her voice became the anchor that kept him alive.
Meanwhile… Cat Green Was Fighting Her Own Battle
Across the hall in that same Italian facility, another patient was fighting to stay alive. Cat Green—fragile, traumatized, and bewildered—woke up in a foreign country with only disjointed memories of what had happened to her. She could barely walk. She could barely think. Depression wrapped around her like chains.
Isolated by language barriers, weakened by trauma, and desperate for purpose, Cat struggled daily. But as she was wheeled through the halls for physical therapy, she noticed a room where a heavily bandaged patient lay unmoving. She often saw a blonde woman—Sami—crying quietly at his bedside.
Something in that scene pierced through Cat’s despair.
When staff suggested that she could read to other patients to lift her spirits, Cat hesitated—until she remembered the man she’d seen wrapped in bandages. Without knowing his name or story, she felt pulled toward him. She chose her most cherished book, Wuthering Heights, and stepped into his room.
The Unseen Bond Begins
Cat sat beside the silent, faceless patient and opened her book. Her hands trembled. She wasn’t sure he heard her at all. But as soon as she began reading aloud, the atmosphere in the room shifted—subtle, almost imperceptible, but real.
She returned the next day.
Then the next.
Day after day, she read to him—chapters filled with passion, longing, heartbreak, and hope. She started talking to him in between readings, telling him about her therapy sessions, her fears, her loneliness, and the memories she couldn’t quite piece together. She spoke as though he could hear her, as though her voice mattered.
And it did.
Deep inside his coma, EJ felt her presence. The rhythm of her breath. The emotion in her voice. The way she read the tragic love of Cathy and Heathcliff as though she understood every wound their souls carried.
When she read, his heart rate changed. His brain activity spiked. His mind fought to rise to the surface.
The doctors chalked it up to coincidence.
But it wasn’t coincidence.
It was connection.
Mutual Healing Through Shared Silence
As the weeks passed, Cat recovered faster than any of her doctors expected. Her body strengthened. Her spirit lifted. And the more she read to EJ, the more she healed herself.
EJ, too, began to show signs of waking—minute changes, subtle reactions. No one understood the catalyst. No one suspected the truth.
The only constant was the afternoons, when Cat’s voice filled the room like sunlight through fog.
Whether he heard her consciously or not, EJ fought harder. Pulled back stronger. Clung to her words as if they were oxygen.
Two souls, broken in different ways, were unknowingly saving each other.
The Heartbreaking Goodbye
Then came the day Cat dreaded.
Her discharge.
Her doctors told her she was strong enough to return to the United States. Though relieved to leave, she was terrified to abandon the man who had become the center of her days—the silent presence who gave her a reason to wake up each morning.
She spent her final afternoon reading the last chapters of Wuthering Heights. Her voice cracked as she reached the tragic ending. Tears fell freely as she closed the book.
She placed it on his bedside table—her gift, her goodbye.
“I don’t know your name,” she whispered, touching his bandaged arm. “But you saved me. I hope one day someone tells you that you weren’t alone.”
Then she left.
EJ felt the loss even in his coma. The afternoons fell empty again. Darkness grew heavier.
But the memory of her voice continued to burn.
Fate Brings Them Together Again… Years Later
Time passed. EJ recovered. He returned to Salem. The voice faded into something like a dream—beautiful, haunting, impossible to place.
Years later, EJ met Cat Green, now working at the hospital. They formed an unexpected friendship—warm, easy, natural. Neither knew why the connection felt so immediate, so familiar.
They bonded over books.
They bonded over shared trauma.
They bonded over Wuthering Heights—laughing at the coincidence that they both adored it.
But it wasn’t coincidence.
It was destiny.
The Revelation That Changes Everything
It began with Cat’s fragmented memories resurfacing during a conversation with Andrew Donovan—memories of an Italian facility, a bandaged patient, long afternoons of reading aloud. When Andrew mentioned EJ had once received treatment in the very same facility, Cat’s world tilted.
Detail by detail, everything aligned.
The timing.
The bandages.
The blonde woman she’d seen praying—Sami.
The room with the endless machines.
The battered copy of her book she left behind.
The truth hit her with staggering force:
She had been reading to EJ DiMera.
She had been the voice in his darkness.
She had been the reason he survived.
EJ Breaks Down When He Learns the Truth
Cat chose a quiet moment to tell him, trembling as she recounted every memory she had.
EJ listened—at first curious, then stunned, then visibly shaken. Tears gathered as pieces of a long-buried puzzle clicked into place. The voice he had clung to… the angel he had believed he dreamed…
It was Cat.
“You were the one,” EJ choked out, barely able to breathe. “Your voice… it kept me alive. I thought you were a hallucination.”
Cat broke down too, admitting he had saved her as much as she saved him—that reading to him gave her purpose when she had nothing left.
In a rare moment of raw vulnerability, EJ pulled her into his arms and sobbed into her shoulder.
Two survivors.
Two souls intertwined long before they knew each other’s names.
Two people who kept each other alive across oceans, time, and unconsciousness.
Their reunion wasn’t chance.
It was destiny—and Salem is about to witness a connection that may change everything.
Just tell me!
