Trust issues.

A lot of questions swirled up in Phoebe's mind like one, why did her father go out of his way to help Rekha so much? She was not his illegitimate child, that was for sure. If she was, the Saxon spirit would have sensed it. What kind of relationship did he have with Rekha's parents?

Two, which founding family had discarded one of their own so cruelly, a child for that matter? Founding families were the type to raise even their bastards because they could afford it. Rekha was a little child, yet they turned their backs on her when she needed them the most.

Thinking back on her own miserable childhood, Phoebe could only imagine what suffering Rekha had endure. Emotional assault from her relatives, the feeling of being rejected over and over. It was like being killed over and over again. She knew because she had also experienced it.
