Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Grateful in silence, Francis was truly a gem.

Just like always, whenever there was trouble, if he was around, he wouldn't just stand by.

Even though, he and Rebecca had only crossed paths a few times.

Last time, when Rebecca got hurt, it was Francis who stepped in to help.

With Francis there, Sherilyn felt a sense of stability, a calmness settled in her heart.

The emergency room doors swung open, and the doctor emerged.

"Doctor," Sherilyn approached, "how's my friend?"

The doctor frowned, looking troubled, "Everything else is manageable... but her eyes..."

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What about her family? For something this serious, nobody's come?"

Sherilyn was at a loss for words. How could she explain that Rebecca had been beaten by her own husband? "Let's proceed with the hospital admission."

"Alright, Doctor."

It was Francis who took care of the admission, securing a private room.

Rebecca lay in bed, bandages wrapped around her arms and torso, especially around her eyes...

The doctor said, Rebecca's eyesight might be gone for good!

"Sherilyn."

Rebecca leaned back against her pillow, reaching out into the air, "Where are you? Why's it so dark? Aren't the lights on?"

"Rebecca." Sherilyn couldn't hold back, her voice breaking with emotion.

Rebecca froze, sensing something was wrong, a chill settling in her heart. She reached up to feel her eyes, only to touch the bandages.

"My eyes..."

Sherilyn gripped her hand, unsure of what to say.

"I..." Rebecca's voice quivered. "Am I blind? Sherilyn? Tell me, am I blind?"

"Rebecca..." Sherilyn choked up, unable to give a false reassurance.

Her silence was answer enough.

"I'm blind?" Rebecca's voice shook, confirming her worst fear, "I'm blind, blind..."

"Rebecca." Sherilyn tried to comfortThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

her, "It might not be permanent, it's just... your eyes are very swollen right now, that's why they're covered..."

"Really?"

Rebecca's hand moved, tearing off the bandages, "Then let me see, let's see if I can..."

"Rebecca!"

"I can't see!" Rebecca, unable to even open her eyes, clung to Sherilyn's hand and cried, "Sherilyn, I'm blind!" "Rebecca, calm down!"

"I need a doctor, I have to see a doctor!" Rebecca stumbled out of bed, making a beeline for the door.

"Rebecca!"

The door opened from the outside, and Francis entered. Rebecca froze, unable to see, mistaking him for a doctor.

She grabbed hold of him, "Doctor, please, you have to help me, look at my eyes!"

Francis' brows furrowed deeply, his Adam's apple bobbing as he barely uttered, "Okay."

Then, raising his hand, he delivered a swift chop to the back of Rebecca's neck.

Instantly, her eyelids drooped, her body sagging.

Without a sound, Francis caught her, cradling her in his arms.

"Francis..."

"Lift the covers."

"Okay."

Francis laid her gently on the bed,

"Yeah, okay."

Sherilyn hurried off.

Francis sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze unwavering.

Her husband had done this to her? She couldn't stay with Eddy any longer...

If things continued this way, she would die.
