My CEO 134

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 I 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, I 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 I need to tell you. I considered keeping it from you, but I know if you don't trust me fully, we don't have a chance."

I squeeze his hand gently, urging him to continue. "What is it, Jayden? You can tell me anything."
