Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 592



He silently closed his eyes for a moment.

"About what happened later..."

Sherilyn lifted her head, her voice steady yet fearless, "I begged you, remember? I wanted to stay another day in Sunhaven because I felt so terrible, really terrible..."

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"My Jenna has been unwell, I wonder, was it because I got soaked in the rain that day?"

The hardships of the past weighed heavily on her heart.

"After we got to Crestwood, you didn't forget, did you? You never reached out to me again, leaving me alone in a city that was a complete stranger to me! You abandoned me for four years!"

Sherilyn bit her lip, her voice trembling, "Am I stubborn? Maybe, but after you discarded me so easily, how could I ever believe you'd accept my child, take responsibility for her!"

Gilbert's gaze shattered as if he had been struck dumb, unable to find the words.

Sherilyn suddenly laughed, "I'm legally your wife, yet I'm also just a parasite you could easily throw away!"

Parasite!!

Gilbert felt as if his head was splitting open, like there was a drill boring through his brain...

Yes, he remembered saying those words.

Because back then, Caroline had lost her child... His older brother had slipped into a coma, and it was uncertain if he would ever wake up...

The reasons that seemed justifiable at the time now crumbled into nothing in front of Sherilyn and her daughter Jenna!

Gilbert felt a lump in his throat, his lips moved but no words came out.

His chest, his heart, his entire being was filled with endless regret. Every movement brought a mix of pain and soreness.

"Sherilyn..." He barely started speaking when Sherilyn suddenly stood up, ready to leave.

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert quickly stood up, grabbing her hand and asking, "Where are you going?"

"Let go of me!"

"Sherilyn..."

Suddenly, Sherilyn picked up a strawberry milkshake from the table and hurled it at Gilbert! The pale pink, sticky liquid covered him from head to toe. "Hmph!"

Sherilyn offered a cold, faint laugh, breaking free and running towards the exit.

"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert, not caring about his messy state, grabbed Sherilyn's forgotten down jacket from the chair and chased after her. "Sherilyn!"

She ran ahead, not looking back. But

caught up to her. He unfolded the down jacket and wrapped it around

her from behind.

"Let go! Let me go!"

"It's cold! Sherilyn, it's cold!"

Sherilyn was forced to stop, glaring at him, her body shaking uncontrollably, more from anger than the cold.

"Please, just put on the jacket."

Afraid she would run again, Gilbert

Gilbert followed, head bowed.

His phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was a message from Charles, the results of the investigation he requested were in.

Opening the message, Charles had sent a picture.

Zooming in, the A4 paper clearly revealed...

[Name: Sherilyn, Age: 24, Diagnosis: Ectopic Pregnancy.]

Gilbert's expression hardened, he quickly pocketed his phone, and continued to silently follow Sherilyn.

They soon reached their destination.

Sherilyn stopped but didn't turn around, "Stop following me, just go."

"Sherilyn."

Gilbert cautiously, his voice low, asked, "The reason you stayed with me... it was for Jenna, wasn't it?"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
