Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1006

Ah... what's this?

Sherilyn was flabbergasted. So, Gilbert had just hung up on her? How could that be?

And it was Caroline of all people!

Even though he had promised before to keep his distance and only stay true to her, he had also said he couldn't completely ignore Caroline. At the very least, he wanted to make sure she was doing well, right?

Yet he hung up when she called?

Without much thought and no way to inquire, as Caroline was shouting from the other end.

"Get Gilbert on the phone! Now! Hurry!"

Her voice sounded off.

Sherilyn frowned, hesitated for a moment, then handed the phone to Gilbert, "Here, Caroline... she's looking for you."

"..."

Gilbert glanced at the phone, shook his head, "I won't take it. Just hang up."

Not take it?

And he seemed very firm about it.

This was too strange!

Sherilyn picked up the phone, pressing it to her ear, "Did you hear that?"

She had handed the phone to Gilbert, so Caroline must have heard it.

"He's not taking it. So, I'm hanging up."

"Wait! Hold on!"

Caroline's voice was almost hysterical, stopping her, sounding like she was crying?

"Don't hang up! Tell Gilbert, I'm injured! My hand, it's injured!"

Then, she sent a photo.

Sherilyn opened it and was shocked by what she saw, her brows knitting together as she quickly looked away.

Holding up the photo to Gilbert.

"Look at this, she sent it, her hand is injured..."

While she didn't like Caroline, her upbringing didn't allow her to withhold information.

Whether he went to see her or not, that was his decision.

"You really don't need me to go."

Gilbert raised his hand, his fingertip touching the center of her forehead.

"Don't frown, you'll get wrinkles. Such a beautiful face doesn't suit wrinkles."

He said, "Don't worry, she's not living alone, there's a 24-hour caretaker who will take her to the hospital."

This evening's drama, without much thought, was clearly Caroline's doing.

The purpose was to lure him over.

She wanted to use this chance to reconcile...

Or perhaps, to test him, to see if he truly meant what he said, that he wouldn't treat her as before...

If it was the past, he would have rushed over without hesitation. Because he treated her like family, willing to care for her, let her command him.

But she didn't understand, once he was unwilling, then nobody could boss him around!

However, his words didn't provide Sherilyn with relief but added to her confusion.

Because this was too out of character.

Looking at Gilbert, she hesitantly asked, "Did you guys have a fight?"
