Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 652



Francis stumbled backward several steps after she shoved him.

"Mr. Francis!" Sawyer appeared just in time to catch him.

"I'm alright."

Leaning on his cane, Francis steadied himself, his gaze filled with concern as he watched Caroline sprint away. He instructed Sawyer, "Have someone follow her. She's emotionally unstable; make sure she doesn't get into trouble!"

"Yes, Mr. Francis, you can count on me."

"And another thing..."

Turning around, Francis pointed towards the house where Rebecca White was staying, "Keep a close eye on that place, don't let Caroline anywhere near her."

Sawyer felt a chill, "Understood, Mr. Francis."

Hospital.

Gilbert Johnson's condition had improved. In the afternoon, the doctors were able to take him off the ventilator. Sherilyn Gomez moistened a cotton swab with water to dampen his lips, "You don't want to let go of Jenna, do you?" Talking about Jenna all day had sparked a response in him; he had started to move, breathing on his own.

"Right, I have some of Jenna's old videos on my phone, you can listen to her voice..."

She had downloaded a cloud storage app, which contained numerous videos of Jenna growing up that Sherilyn had taken.

Starting the playback, she went through them in order, providing commentary here and there: "This is right after Jenna was weaned off night feedings, she looked so pitiful..."

"Here she's two, and a lefty. She would write '10' by starting with the '0' before the '1', and she always wanted me to praise her for it..."

As the night deepened and turned to early morning...

Looking at the man sleeping peacefully in bed, Sherilyn sighed softly, "For Jenna's sake, please try your hardest to wake up, to get better." Dawn was breaking.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The door to the room opened, and Sherilyn, still half-asleep on the couch, heard voices.

"Ms. Bet, you're early. Good morning," said the nurse.

"Mmm," was Caroline's reply, "Oh? Where's Sherilyn? Wasn't she on watch?"

"Ms. Gomez hasn't woken up yet; she's over there..."

Caroline's gaze followed the direction pointed out.

Stirred awake by the noise, Sherilyn lost any remnants of sleepiness. She got up, gathered her long hair, and tied it up casually with a hair tie around her wrist before walking over.

She didn't look at Caroline, heading straight for the bathroom instead.

"Sherilyn," Caroline called after her, her tone unusually calm, "I need to talk to you."

Surprised, Sherilyn stopped and turned, leisurely facing her, curious about what she might say.

"You..."

Caroline's expression was a mix of

struggle and indecision, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking, "What are your intentions towards Gilbert? Do you... like kim? If he wakes up, will you two be together?"

So that was her concern.

Sherilyn raised an eyebrow, a low chuckle escaping her lips, "Didn't I tell you that we had broken up?"

"Really?" Caroline seemed skeptical.

"Not convinced?"

Sherilyn smirked, "Then I guess you'll just have to wait and ask Gilbert when he wakes up."

"Ms. Gomez."

The nurse stood by the door, "Breakfast has arrived..."

"Alright, give me a moment."

Sherilyn nodded, "I'll go freshen up and be right there."

"Okay."

The nurse then looked at Caroline, "Ms. Bet, have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to join us?"

"No, thank you."

Caroline shook her head, her mind in turmoil.

Seeing Sherilyn's demeanor, it

seemed what she had said was true!

She

and Gilbert were no longer an

item!

swno

Perhaps it was for the best, Sherilyn's heart clearly wasn't with Gilbert!

Despite Gilbert's condition, she could still sleep soundly, eat well...

Caroline clenched her fists, her heart racing, her breath quickening...

On the hospital bed, Gilbert frowned, his lips parting slightly, "Sherilyn... Sherilyn... Sherilyn!"
