All I did was get some patient medications swapped around to try and get Ashlyn to talk to me again. How she ended up in the rooftop area, falling off, I have no idea. Maybe she wanted to end it all.

No wonder she ghosted me and they put a no-contact order on me for Ashlyn. I never thought she'd still be carrying a baby, I still don't understand. I text back.

Find out how she was still pregnant

Is that why she tried to kill herself? It doesn't make sense.

I grab my phone, scrolling through the news, looking for something, anything, that'll tell me what's going on with Ashlyn. But then I see it:
