My CEO 124

124 Hospital Again. (Winona)

Gordon drives like a man on a mission, weaving through traffic with the kind of precision that only comes from years of experience.

My mind races just as fast as the car, thoughts colliding in a jumbled mess.

Every red light feels like an eternity. Every second feels like a lifetime.

"We're almost there," Gordon says, his voice steady but strained.

I nod, my hands trembling and my heart pounding. The fear of losing Jayden is suffocating, and panic rises in my chest.

As we pull into the hospital parking lot, I can see the flashing lights of the ambulance. My heart skips a beat. Gordon parks the car, and I scramble out, almost tripping in my haste to get inside. We rush through the entrance of emergency, my eyes darting around frantically.

"Jayden Brennan. They just brought him in by ambulance."

The nurse at the desk takes one look at me and points toward the emergency room. "You can wait in there. Dr. Green is with him now. Someone will speak with you shortly," she says, her tone calm. "How is he?" I gasp, my voice barely a whisper as my fear tightens its grip on me.

"The doctor will bring news when he's done. It will be at least a few hours," she replies, her expression sympathetic but her words stab at my heart. "Someone will update you as soon as possible." I feel like I might collapse right there, but Gordon's steady hand on my arm keeps me upright.

"She's been through a big ordeal. Is there someone who can check her over?" Gordon asks the nurse.

"Of course. Go through and take a seat. Someone will be with you shortly."

We get led into a small cubicle with a bed and a chair in the emergency department.
