"What happened?" tvy asked Silas, who just returned to the hospital corridor.

He was panting, his suit jacket was with Bud who stood behind him. There were lines of sweat seated on his forehead and his shirt was stained.

She went to him, her heart pounding at his appearance. "What happened?" she asked again.

Though as she, Theresa and Aria made their way into the hospital, she had noticed the reporters outside. Her first thought had been that they were there because of the famous actor and director, Elaine Chase, who was rushed in just as they arrived. But seeing Silas now, she was beginning to think the media frenzy wasn't just for Elaine.

Silas sank into the bench, wiping his forehead. "Andrew's girlfriends came around, and it was a mess." He ran a hand through his hair, his breath still uneven. Bud handed him a bottle of cold water. "Thank Bud."

"Somehow, news got out about the accidents," Silas continued, capping the bottle and handing it back. "The women came here and started fighting. It was ugly and it attracted even more reporters."

"I thought they were here for Elaine Chase."

Silas raised his brow. "Who?"

"Elaine, the lead actress in that snake movie," Ivy replied, trying to recall the title.

"I have no idea, baby," Silas said, leaning back on the bench. "Where is Aria and theresa?"

Ivy's heart clenched. "They're both in Uncle Mike's room."

She knew she was supposed to add that Hector was with them, but she thought otherwise.

Let him find out himself.

"How did they take the news?" Silas asked.

"Bad,” she admitted. “Aria has a terrible stomachache, she says it's a twin thing because of Andrew. And Theresa... she's

"As expected," he said sadly. "Have you seen Thomas?"

"No, not yet," she replied. Then she told him about Cheryl's child.

"Oh my goodness!" he exclaimed. "Are they okay?"

"I hope so," she said quietly,

Delivering the news to Theresa and Aria had been her top priority that she hadn't had the time to process Cheryl's situation. Now that the thoughts settled in, she felt sad.

She knew jaundice was normal, but imagining how the baby must be feeling made her chest tighten.

Silas rubbed her thigh, and she squeezed his hand. "It's been such a terrible day."

"Yes. And I hope we all heal."
