Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



She had guessed it right; they had fought, indeed! After what happened with Edgar, how could they not? It had escalated to the point where Sherilyn was hospitalized? The argument must have been intense.

Caroline pointed inside, "How's Sherilyn doing? She's okay, right?"

"She's fine." Gilbert's face showed no emotion and his tone was neutral as he calmly stated, "Sherilyn is pregnant."

"...What?"

Caroline's eyes widened in shock, her pupils dilating. "What did you say?"

She hadn't misheard, had she? Sherilyn was pregnant!

Gilbert glanced at her, repeating, "You heard right, Sherilyn's pregnant."

He looked at his watch, then added, "Anything else?"

His tone implied that if she had nothing more, he was going back to Sherilyn!

Caroline tugged at her lip, "No..."

Gilbert nodded, "Then I'll go in. Sherilyn could wake up any minute."

"Alright... Gilbert!"

Just as Gilbert turned to leave, Caroline stopped him again, Gilbert frowned in confusion, "Something else?"

Caroline forced a smile, "I just wanted to say, congratulations... to you, and Sherilyn."

Gilbert's lips curved into a rare, warm smile, "Thanks... I'll thank you on behalf of Sherilyn too."

"You're welcome..."

Every conversation circled back to Sherilyn!

"Gilbert!"

Caroline called out to him again, Gilbert frowned and looked down at her, wondering what it was this time.

...

In the hospital room.

Sherilyn woke up, slowly opening her eyes.

Realizing she was in a hospital and remembering the events that led her here... she had fainted into Gilbert's arms. So, he was the one who brought her here?

What was happening now?

Her first thought was whether she was pregnant? And if so, did Gilbert know?

Panic surged through her!

She threw off the covers and headed towards the door.

"Gilbert..."

Caroline's heart raced, her limbs turning cold.

Biting her lip, she blurted out, "Are you sure, the baby Sherilyn's carrying, is yours?"

The air turned eerily silent.

Gilbert's eyes narrowed, his

ehat darkening instantly,

"What do you mean? Do

you

"Gilbert!"

Having broached the subject, she had no more reservations.

Caroline looked him in the eye, saying bluntly, "Have you never considered it? She was never with you willingly! The person she loves is Edgar They've been seeing each other behind your back, and, you saw it what you saw was just a hug, but What if..."

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish, Gilbert cut her off sharply!

His expression turned even darker, glaring at Caroline, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Am I speaking nonsense?" Caroline

bitterly. "Gilbert, are you that

by love? So in love that you'd accept being cuckolded.. ed...

She stopped abruptly, staring straight ahead.

Gilbert, taken aback, felt a premonition of dread and followed her gaze... It was Sherilyn, she had woken up!

He hurried forward, reaching out to Sherilyn, trying to support her.

But Sherilyn dodged, giving them a wry smile, "I heard everything you just said."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert grabbed her wrist, his voice soft but pleading, "Let's talk inside."

This was meant for her ears only, carrying an unwitting tone of appeasement and conciliation.

"No, let's not."

Sherilyn tilted her head, smiling faintly at Caroline, "You're right, the child isn't Gilbert's!"
