My CEO 111

111 Get Out Of My Life

(Winona)

Sheila comes into the living room where I'm sitting alone. My head is so full I can't even function.

"Jayden texted me. The ambulance isn't quite there, but Abby is still holding on. Doctor Green is waiting, ready."

"Oh, thank God!" Tears are coming from somewhere; I didn't think I had any left. "She's still alive."

"Abby is with the doctor now. She made it to the hospital. Jayden is with her."

"She's a fighter, Winona. You know that. Now you need to keep up your strength, so eat a little something." Anne says as she pops the platter on the side table. "Help yourself, Sheila. It could be a long night." I glance at the food and my stomach churns. Ew. I can't eat.

Sheila loads up a small plate and holds it out to me. I shake my head.

"You need to eat. You're already thin as a reed. The last thing Abby needs is you collapsing."

I shrug. "If I'm in the hospital too, I might

"Winona Nolan," Sheila says in a stern voice. "Collapsing from hunger after refusing to eat will not be a positive indication for a healthy mental state. That alone could revoke Abby being here with you." I look at her.

"If you are able to go and see her, you need to show you are strong and capable of staying that way for her."
