Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 890

"Everyone has their off days, right?" Rebecca White tossed the cotton ball into the trash bin and returned to help Sherilyn stand up. "Let's go home, take it slow. Make sure you're steady on your feet, and don't walk until you're no longer dizzy..."

"Got it, big sis Rebecca..."

As they approached the door, Sherilyn's phone rang. It was Edgar.

"Hello?" Sherilyn paused, swiping to answer the call.

"Sherilyn," Edgar's voice came through, filled with concern, "Are you sick?"

"How did you know?" Sherilyn was surprised.

Edgar sidestepped the question, pressing on, "How are you feeling now? Is it serious? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing." Sherilyn chuckled, "Just a cold..."

"That's a relief..." Edgar sighed softly, finally addressing her initial question. "Gilbert came looking for me. He told me you were sick."

What? Sherilyn was taken aback, her smile fading. Gilbert actually went to see Edgar?

"He came to confront me, wanted to drag me to see you."

This... Sherilyn was shocked; Gilbert was really getting involved!

"Sherilyn."

Edgar paused, choosing his words carefully, "I told him, I don't love you anymore... It's over between us."

"I thought you should know, to prepare yourself—Anyway, I'm hanging up now. Take care of yourself. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Sherilyn put down the phone, deep in thought. So Gilbert knew...

Gilbert cleared his throat, softly saying, "You didn't come back, and I was worried Jenna would be upset. I stayed downstairs just in case, to help out with anything."

"Mhm."

Sherilyn nodded, her voice a bit hoarse. "You’re thoughtful. I'm back now... It's nothing serious, it's late, you should head back and rest."

"...Okay."

Gilbert nodded, realizing he indeed had no reason to stay any longer. "I'll be off then."

After giving her a long look, he turned, got back into his car, and slowly drove off.

"Do you think..." Watching the car drive away, Rebecca White tugged at Sherilyn's arm, "Is he really just worried about Jenna? Or does he have other motives?"

What was she implying? Sherilyn understood. She gave Rebecca White a piercing look, bursting her bubble, "He's with Caroline now, they're living together."
