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.

My phone buzzes in my hand, and I open the message from my contact at the hospital.

Ashlyn's 24 weeks pregnant. Baby is in distress. She's on life support.

Pregnant? She's still pregnant? How?

She was convinced she had a miscarriage. That's why she got so desperate and went to Santa Monica to try and frame Winona. She had no baby to hold onto Jayden, so she thought she may as well take Winona down with her.

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:

"I didn't do anything. I just... I just tried to keep things under control. Ashlyn ghosted me, Gus. She was the reason Jayden wanted these stupid no-contact orders on me. He believed what she said about me."

"The truth is overrated."
