Cold Showers — Chapter 58

After Lilian drove away, Seb picked up his phone and called his mom who picked up immediately.

"How is She?" Vanessa asked, sounding very worried.

"She and the baby are fine. Only Jayda's car got bashed."

She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God!"

"I'll be staying with her overnight because the doctor wants to keep an eye on her. Her blood pressure went up due to shock so they want to make sure she's perfectly okay before discharging her." Sebastian explained.

"I'll come to see you both tomorrow morning with some food."

"No need, mom. Lilian will be bringing breakfast for us."

Vanessa sighed, she could tell her son was trying to push her away. Not that she could blame him. He was going through a lot and she knew his fear right now was losing Jayda.

"Sebastian, everything will be fine." She assured.

"I don't think so, Mom. I've been living my life without knowing I had a son somewhere. Someone who will probably not recognize me as a father because I was never there for him."

"On the other hand, I have Jayda. I don't know how long I can keep this away from her but I'm certain she will want nothing to do with me when she learns the truth."

"Please don't be too hard on yourself Son" Vanessa pleaded, trying to hold back tears.

"I don't know Mom, I feel like everything is my fault. I'll be taking time off work to look after Jayda and maybe see Aaron. I'll also ask Katie for a DNA test to be done. I will tell Caleb to assist me with running the company because I'm not in the right mind to do anything relating to work."

"Your Dad can also step in for you at work. I promise you Seb, we will go through this. Please stay strong."

"Thanks, Mom, I have to go back to Jayda. I'll call you tomorrow."

.....................

Sebastian called Caleb and told him about Jayda's accident, leaving out what he and his family discovered tonight. After that, he called his secretary to inform her that he would be taking some days off work.

Sebastian returned to the ward and saw Jayda sitting up on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

"Are you sure you don't want to inform your mom?" Seb asked as he took a seat beside her.

Jayda snuggled closer to him. "I'll tell her in three days."

"You look sad, is anything the matter?" She asked, concerned.

Sebastian kissed her forehead, then he looked into her beautiful eyes. "My greatest fear is losing you and my baby. I wouldn't want that to happen."

Jayda smiled, "We are fine, that's all that matters and from now on, I promise to be more careful."

Sebastian nodded.

"My Mom and Caleb sent their regards. Caleb will be here tomorrow."

Jayda nodded.

"I really hope I get discharged by tomorrow, I'm tired of being here already. And thank you for agreeing to spend the night with me." She smiled.

"Anything for you, my love."

"I hope your family meeting went well." She asked but got worried by the scared look Sebastian was putting on.

"Is Amelia okay?" Jayda asked in fear.

Sebastian swallowed painfully. "She is fine. She only discussed a few things with us."

Jayda knew there was more to the matter. She could see it in Sebastian's eyes but she decided not to push any further.

She took his hand in hers and assured him. I'll always be here to listen whenever you feel like talking about it or anything else."
