Chapter 593



Sherilyn's slender back stiffened, and she turned around with a look that was somewhere between tears and laughter. "Yeah, you caught on quick, didn't you?"

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert furrowed his brows in a flash.

With a cold laugh, Sherilyn's lips curled, "But hey, I never lied to you. I told you straight up, I'm not into you anymore."

From the get-go, he was insistent on being with her, despite her making it clear not just once!

She had told him, and she had told Sylvia too!

Sherilyn's laughter was cold, "So, what? You're here to call me out?"

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert's expression darkened, "That's not what I meant!"

He frowned deeply, his voice low, "I know everything now... about the ectopic pregnancy."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Being with him was all for Jenna.

Jenna was battling aplastic anemia - something he was well aware of from the start.

As he fit all the pieces together, it suddenly clicked for him: Sherilyn's motive was to have another child with him... to save Jenna!

So, her getting pregnant meant there was no way she would terminate the pregnancy. That's why he had Charles investigate!

It turned out he had misunderstood Sherilyn all along!

Gilbert gazed at her intensely, puzzled, "Why didn't you just tell me from the start?"

For Jenna's sake, she would want to keep him around, right?

"Why?"

Sherilyn sighed deeply, her smile faint, "You did all that digging but missed this? After an ectopic pregnancy, it's not advisable to get pregnant for at least six months."

It wasn't just about the mother's health.

Moreover, with too short a recovery period, the chances of another ectopic pregnancy were high.

Not to mention the possible complications for the fetus, including developmental issues and miscarriage...

Now it made sense to Gilbert.

From the beginning to the end, Sherilyn was doing it all for Jenna.

She didn't want to waste that half a year on him, nor did she want to compromise herself by staying by his side.

Sherilyn had absolutely no affection for him!

A mocking realization dawned on him, directed at himself.

Indeed, what right did he, of all people, have to expect Sherilyn to have feelings for him?

He finally understood why his little Sherilyn, who once only had eyes for him, remained so cold, no matter what he did.

"Are we good now?"

Sherilyn lifted her eyelids slightly, "Then I'm leaving."

She turned swiftly and walked away.

"Sherilyn!"

Behind her, the man suddenly caught up, bending over to scoop her into his embrace from behind, his arms tightly encircling her. Sherilyn chuckled, "What are you doing?"

"Sherilyn..."

Gilbert buried his head in her neck his voice low, tender yet filled with remorse, "I'm sorry, so sorry! I know apologies might not mean much... but, Sherilyn, I really am sorry..."

Was saying sorry enough to make it all go away?

Sherilyn closed her eyes, feeling the man holding her trembling. He seemed genuinely regretful.....

"Mm."

After a while, Sherilyn softly responded, without any further words.

She pushed Gilbert away, not looking at him, and walked on...

Gilbert stood there as if soulless, his tall frame swaying slightly, his gaze

A sudden panic enveloped him. Gilbert hurried back to his car, rummaging through the glove compartment for a cigarette.

Then, as if struck by a thought, he pulled out a pack of gum instead unwrapping a piece and popping it into his mouth, followed by a second, then a third...

The entire pack of gum ended up in his mouth!
