Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband novel Chapter 124

124 Hospital Again. 

(Winona) 

Gordon drives like a man on a mission, weaving through traffic with the kind of precision that only comes from years of experience. 

My mind races just as fast as the car, thoughts colliding in a jumbled mess. 

Every red light feels like an eternity. Every second feels like a lifetime. 

“We’re almost there,” Gordon says, his voice steady but strained. 

I nod, my hands trembling and my heart pounding. The fear of losing Jayden is suffocating, and panic rises in my chest. 

As we pull into the hospital parking lot, I can see the flashing lights of the ambulance. My heart skips a beat. Gordon parks the car, and I scramble out, almost tripping in my haste to get inside. 

We rush through the entrance of emergency, my eyes darting around frantically. 

“Jayden Brennan. They just brought him in by ambulance.” 

The nurse at the desk takes one look at me and points toward the emergency room. “You can wait in there. Dr. Green is with him now. Someone will speak with you shortly,” she says, her tone calm. 

“How is he?” I gasp, my voice barely a whisper as my fear tightens its grip on me. 

“The doctor will bring news when he’s done. It will be at least a few hours,” she replies, her expression sympathetic but her words stab at my heart. “Someone will update you as soon as possible.” 

I feel like I might collapse right there, but Gordon’s steady hand on my arm keeps me upright. 

“She’s been through a big ordeal. Is there someone who can check her over?” Gordon asks the nurse. 

“Of course. Go through and take a seat. Someone will be with you shortly.” 

We get led into a small cubicle with a bed and a chair in the emergency department. 

“Get on the bed and rest a little.” Gordon tells me. 

I don’t argue, I just sit on the bed. My head is hurting and so is my heart. I shake and shiver 

A nurse comes to take my blood pressure and temperature. “Ms. Nolan is it?” 

“Winona.” 

“Winona, can we get this coat off you. I need to do a blood pressure.” 

I take off Gordon’s coat and the air seems cold and heavy even though the sun is shining outside. 

“Oh my. Are you hurt anywhere?” The nurse says in surprise when she sees the state of my bloodied clothes..

“Winona, can you just lay back on the bed for me. Here, I’ll put the back up so you aren’t lying flat. You’re showing signs of shock. We’ll get you into a warm shower soon. Just relax. You’re safe now.” 

1 just need to know that Jayden is okay.” 

The nurse finishes my blood pressure reading. “Could be better. I’ll go talk to our locum and then get report on Jayden for you.” 

Thank you 

you so much.” I’m relieved to hear she’s going to check in on Jayden. “I want Jayden to know I’m here and his mother is on the way.” 

“1 get them to pass the message to him. Never know what he can hear so that might help him pull through.” 

Just then, Judy rushes in, her eyes wild with panic. She looks at me, and for a moment, there’s a shared understanding of the gravity of the situation. “Are you hurt, Winona?” 

I shake my head. “It isn’t my blood.” 

“She’s being monitored for shock,” Gordon adds. 

Judy’s focus goes onto the nurse when she comes back in. 

“Where’s my son?” she demands, her voice shaking, the facade of control she usually maintains slipping. 

“He’s in the operating theater with Dr. Green,” the nurse says, her tone patient. “They need to remove the bullet. The bullet just missed his heart but there’s a lot of damage around it. It’s still touch and go. The doctor will bring news when he’s done, but it may be a few hours.” 

“I see. Thank you. I guess we just have to wait this out and pray.”

Wow. Is this the same Judy Brennan I know? 

The nurse approaches me again. “Ms. Nolan, we’re putting you in overnight, just to be on the safe side. I’m guessing you aren’t leaving here tonight anyway.” 

“Not if I can help it. I need to be here for Jayden when he opens his
