Sultan’s car never makes it to Amman: Armed gangs were waiting on the road, hijacking and killing unsuspecting travelers. Saidi attempts to warn him, but he is unable to reach him. The previous day, Abu Anmar also left Baghdad after selling the Orouba to Faraj. Not 10 minutes after Abu Anmar leaves, Faraj takes the sign down and renames the hotel the Grand Prophet Hotel. He is about to go to the bakery when a massive explosion takes place.

A week earlier, Elishva finally accepted Faraj’s offer to buy her house because “Daniel” had returned. In the face of Elishva’s resistance, Father Josiah and Elishva’s daughter Matilda concocted a plan to take advantage of the striking similarity between the eldest son of Elishva’s daughter Hilda, whose name is Daniel, and Elishva’s son Daniel to finally convince her to leave Baghdad and emigrate with them to Australia. They spend the evening together, and the more they talk, the more convinced they both are of their shared memories, and Elishva finally agrees to move to Melbourne.

The men from the charity had stopped visiting her, so her only option was to sell the house to Faraj and all her belongings to Hadi, shocking both men.
