134 Safe To Love Jayden (Winona)
I'm still sitting beside Jayden, my heart finally starting to believe he's going to pull through. Dr. Green stands at
the foot of the bed, his expression one of cautious optimism.
"Jayden's showing good signs of recovery, but he still needs to rest and not overdo it," Dr. Green advises, his
tone serious but hopeful.
I nod, gripping Jayden's hand gently, feeling the warmth of his skin against mine. It's a small reassurance that
he's still here with me. "I understand, Doctor. We'll make sure he takes it easy."
Dr. Green glances at his chart before looking back at us. "If you want visitors, we can arrange that, but let's keep
it to a minimum for now. You'll be moved from intensive care in a couple of days if everything continues to go
well." Jayden frowns at the mention of visitors. "I don't want any visitors right now except Winona and Abby."
I'm surprised by his response, and | can see that Dr. Green notices too. "Alright, Jayden. It's your choice. We'll
make sure you have the peace and quiet you need to recover."

As Dr. Green leaves the room, | turn my attention back to Jayden. "What's going on? Why don't you want visitors?
Your mom is worried sick about you."
Jayden's eyes meet mine, and there's a turmoil in them that makes my heart ache. "Winona, there's something |
need to tell you. | considered keeping it from you, but | know if you don't trustfully, we don't have a chance."
| squeeze his hand gently, urging him to continue. "What is it, Jayden? You can tellanything."
He takes a deep breath, his eyes never leaving mine. "It's about Mother. About the car accident we had. |
remembered something just after | got shot before | went fully unconscious. Something that my mind has been
blocking all this time." | feel a chill run down my spine. "What did you remember?"
Jayden's voice is low, filled with pain and regret. "Mother plotted the accident. She paid someone to cause it
because she thought you were driving. She wanted to get rid of you, Winona. But she thought | wouldn't get
hurt, at least not anything serious."
My breath catches in my throat, and | feel a wave of nausea wash over me. "She... she tried to kill me?" Jayden
nods, his grip on my hand tightening. "I didn't want to ruin the happy family vibe you had going with her. | heard
how excited you were to give Abby all the family she could have."
I'm just stunned at this information and yet, sadly, I'm not surprised. | squeeze his hand harder. | realize telling
relationship first at last. This is huge for us, "Thank you for telling me, Jayden. | know it wasn't easy" My voice is
soft, but there's a firmness in it too. This truth, however painful, is a necessary part of healing.
He closes his eyes briefly, as if gathering strength. "I couldn't keep it from you. Not after everything we've
I'm all in Wipop! No more secrets."
