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.

Find out how she was still pregnant

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