"Will she be okay, Doctor?"
He nods. "She will but we need matching blood stock as soon as we can get it. We don't have any on hand and it
could be lifesaving for her during coming operations. If her body continues to reject blood, it will be life or death
for Abby." "I see." | grip my hands together.
"So, Phillip can have his blood tested, do you have any other blood relatives to Abby you can call on? It's no
guarantee but it's the best hope we have right now. We've put out a general call for people to get 'tested for this
genetic marker."
| shake my head. I'd sent Phillip to work, telling him | was okay with handling this on my own. | just really needed
to think. "Phillip is not her biological father and my blood isn't a match."
| breathe out slowly, realizing how I have to tell Jayden after denying this since I've been back. None of this was
supposed to happen.

"Winona, | know this may be hard, but you need to contact her biological father and have him and his close

out, Doctor."
"Abby will undergo surgery again next week to strengthen what was done last night. She's a fighter. There's at
least six months dedicated care she'll need. Now, about the Brennan Wing..."
"I haven't had a chance to get that sorted yet, but | will today." | can afford that for six months along with the
operations and top medical care. I'd also invested money in a trust for Abby's future and bought our townhouse.

can't afford for the incto stop as much as I'd love to be able to focus on Abby full time.
"Actually, | have instructions here, from the Brennans, that Abby is to be in there as long as she needs and gets
top care. All covered, no cost to you." Doctor Green reads off his paperwork.
"I beg your pardon?"
"There's a three-bedroom suite reserved and fully stocked ready for you to go to now."
I'm stunned at this news. "...It's too much to accept." | guess Jayden has organized this. | doubt Judy knows.

Dr. Green looks atsolemnly, "this may be the reason we get your daughter through this. Aftercare is so
important and being in there with dedicated staff 24/7 may be why Abby thrives. Besides, if she does have to go
on the list for a heart transplant, it could be years." My heart smashes into pieces at the thought of losing my
daughter like that. But a transplant for a heart isn't easy to cby. | need to give her the best care she can
get. | hate accepting charity from Jayden, but there's really no choice. I'm not putting Abby at more risk because
of my ego. "I'm grateful for the generosity."
"We'll see Abby sedated most of the tuntil we find sblood, to control her pain, and get her moved in
asap. You take this opportunity to do what you need to do and grab what you need for the suite. It will be your
haway from hfor a while."
"I'll get Anne to cand be with Abby while she's moved, and I'll go shower and do what | need to do. Thank
you, Doctor."
"Abby is in the best hands, Winona. Just make sure you take care of yourself as well."
I nod. "I will."
My hands are shaking as | connect Anne's number on my cell.
"Hello, Winona? Is Abby okay?"
"She's okay for now, considering..."
