My CEO 109

109 Taking Charge (Jayden)

"Meet me at St Michael's. Abby is heading there now by ambulance." I instruct Gus as I stride out from my office having just taken the call from Sheila Hobbs.

"I'm not sure I have time.

I'm not in the mood for your cryptic

shit, Gus. Meet me there. I want answers and I want them now. Do not make me have to leave my daughter and come to you," I demand because I really am not taking any more of his shit.

II disconnected the call. I'm getting my family back together and Gus is going to help me whether he likes it or not. It's the least he owes me.

I reach my SUV and the driver. "St Michael's Hospital and hurry."

"Yes, Sir."

I call Mother to let her know what's going on.

"Jayden, twice in one day..."

"Abby is heading to the hospital. Winona found her unresponsive on the floor."

"She needs to be with someone who can watch her all the time."

"No one watches her as much as Winona, She needs to be with her mother. I need you to shut the fuck up about my daughter's needs and just follow instructions, okay?" I'm not taking her crap either. There's a period of silence. This can only go one of two ways.

"Go ahead."

Wow! It actually worked. I should chalk this day up on my calendar. Mother actually listened for the first time.

But I don't have time to dwell on that little victory right now. "Winona can't come to the hospital until the judge gives her the okay under supervision or she's out of this bullshit accusation that Ashlyn got her into."

"How can I help?"

""Is Ashlyn there?"

"Yes."
