"She's right, you know." Phillip speaks first.
"Yeah, | mean | thought we had this all sorted," | agree.
"But everything is different now, since we found out."
I nod.
Jayden is looking confused. "Found out what? Is your daughter going to be okay?"
"Let's sit down."
Once we're all settled on the sofa and armchairs | address Jayden. "Abby is your daughter biologically, Jayden.
She needs blood with a certain rare genetic marker to help her through her operations. They want to test any
close living relatives." 33 We're all adults here

Jayden jumps back up. "What the fuck? | mean | guessed she probably was my daughter. But | didn't want to
mess her around. | wanted to just let you and Phillip raise her."
"Phillip is legally her father. He will still be raising her." | look at Phillip. "If he still wants to."
"But | could challenge that in court with the blood tests," Jayden points out.
"If you wanted to be an asshole," Phillip snaps and stands up as well.
They face each other.
"Look. There's no tfor this show of jealousy or power or whatever it is. Right now, | need to know if you are
willing to get your blood tested, Jayden?" "Of course | will. And Mother will too."

course. She's blood-related to Abby."
| stare at Phillip, and he picks up on my worry.
"What if she is a match and she won't donate?" He says what I'm thinking.
"She wouldn't do that." Jayden defends her. "She'd do anything for a child of mine."
"She threatenedwhen | was first pregnant. That's part of why | left. You couldn't protectlike you used to

He looks shocked. "Look, she is very full on and very controlling, | know. But she has a heart in there and she's
done all of this to protect me."
"From what? A woman who loved you more than life itself? You rippedto shreds, Jayden, yet here | am in your
arms kissing you. Can't you see how dangerous you are for me? | don't want Abby being raised in that
environment. Now | can't risk her life like that." "I think Judy will do everything she can to separate Winona from
Abby and you. She's definitely unhinged when it comes to her son," Phillip tells Jayden.
Jayden still looks unbelieving, but he nods. "I have begun to remember many things. | know she's lied to me
about my life before the accident. But she's my mother. | have to believe she will do the right thing by my wishes
in the end.”
"She hates me. I'm not putting my kid through that. That's why Phillip is the father. Even if I still loved you,
Jayden, | can never be with you."
Jayden and Phillip sit down again.
"I know how much I loved you." Jayden says, "but a lot has changed. I'm seeing that now. You and Phillip are
good together. Good for Abby. | won't stand in your way. | may never get my memory back fully."
"We can be friends though. | mean, you can see Abby if you want. But she can never know."
"But people will know as soon as they see Abby," Phillip points out.
