Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 648

"What's going on? Is he still the same as yesterday?"

Caroline glanced at Sherilyn, "Maybe you're just exhausted from taking care of Gilbert, Sherilyn. Did you see it wrong? Or maybe, you said it just to cheer Grandma up?"

Hearing this, Sylvia's expression darkened, "Sherilyn, is that true?"

"No." Sherilyn shook her head in denial, giving Caroline an exasperated look, "I wasn't the only one who saw it; the nurse did too."

"Yes."

The nurse raised her hand slightly, nodding and speaking softly, "Sylvia, I was there. I saw it too. Mr. Gilbert indeed moved."

"Sylvia, I can't guarantee that, but Mr. Gilbert is indeed improving. What he needs is more patience and companionship from his family."

"Alright."

Sylvia turned, taking Sherilyn by the hand.

"Sherilyn, Grandma was just worried earlier, don't take it to heart. I owe you an apology. I know you've been working hard."

"See, it's necessary for you to be here. Gilbert's gotten much better since you arrived. He knows when you're here."

"Grandma, you're exaggerating."

The doctor chuckled, adding, "Sylvia is right, Ms. Gomez. Don't doubt it; you've played an indispensable role."
