Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 985

Rebecca White felt a chill run down her spine.

Was her grandfather confused, or had he simply forgotten what Eddy looked like? It seemed he had mistaken Francis for Eddy.

Since getting married, Eddy had never accompanied her back to her family home. It was understandable for her grandfather, with his advancing years, to forget.

"Grandfather..."

Rebecca cast an apologetic glance at Francis, opening her mouth to explain.

But Mr. Galloway was already extending his hand toward Francis, "My grandson-in-law..."

Truth be told, Francis was in a peculiar position.

He realized that Mr. Galloway had mistaken him for Eddy, yet Mr. White had called him 'grandson-in-law.'

Well, he thought, why not go along with it.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise at Rebecca's astonished look, Francis stepped forward and took Mr. Galloway's other hand.

"Granddad, it's me. Rebecca and I came to visit you."

"Is that so...?"

Facing him, Mr. Galloway asked the same question, but with a slightly different meaning.

Francis smiled softly, "Don’t worry, granddad. Rebecca and I are doing well. We’ll make sure to visit you more often."

Mr. Galloway's confused eyes brightened with joy, and he intertwined their hands together.

"Good, very good..."

"Grandpa!"

Rebecca burst into tears, apologizing profusely to Mr. Galloway, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I was wrong."

Over the years, she had avoided her grandfather because of her own issues.

Indeed, as Francis had pointed out, the grandfather who had raised her was not like the others!

Sobbing, Rebecca knelt by the bed.

Mr. Galloway's aged eyes welled up with tears, and he gently placed a hand on his granddaughter's head.

"It’s okay..."

"Grandpa..." Rebecca choked up, unable to speak.

...

That afternoon, Gilbert personally escorted Sherilyn and Jenna there.

"You don’t have to go."

Sherilyn was concerned, "You’re still in the hospital. What if something happens?"

"Nothing will happen."

Gilbert smiled, shaking his head confidently, "I’m always accompanied by bodyguards, it's safe."

Moreover, he picked up Jenna, "Jenna wants me to take her, right?"

"Yes!" Jenna hugged his neck tightly in agreement.

"Alright then." Sherilyn conceded.

"Jenna! Let's go!"

Gilbert, carrying Jenna, led the way out of the hospital, heading towards Blue Haven.

They didn’t use the main entrance; the car drove directly through the south gate, across the South Garden, to the South Building.

When the car stopped, Gilbert and Sherilyn were momentarily distracted, and Jenna, eager and unrestrained, pushed the car door open and darted out.
