Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 995

Caroline knew there was no dodging this bullet.

The damning evidence was laid out in black and white before her, leaving no room for denial or deceit.

"It was me."

It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from Caroline's shoulders. She exhaled deeply, a sense of relief washing over her, even managing a twisted smile.

She shrugged, "So what?"

"Caroline!"

Sylvia was stunned, unable to fathom such a reaction from her, seeing not an ounce of regret.

"How could you not feel sorry for Sherilyn?"

"Sorry for her?"

Caroline scoffed, her face devoid of guilt, her amusement at the question almost perverse.

"Should I not have done it?"

Sylvia was taken aback, her voice lowering, "What are you saying?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying!"

Caroline's outburst was fierce, her facial features contorting with rage.

"Have you all forgotten why she ended up in Crestwood in the first place?"

With venom in her voice, she continued, "Because she was heartless! She killed my child! And you? You all protected her, just sent her off to Crestwood as a 'punishment'... Ha!"

Caroline's laugh was mocking, "What punishment? She just got a change of scenery! The Johnsons still lavished money on her, took care of her! This so-called punishment was a joke!"

"Why?!"

Her eyes blazing, Caroline's voice rose from deep within her.

"Why let her off so easily? That was my child! She pushed me down the stairs, causing me to bleed profusely, and my child was gone, just like that. And that's it? No..."

Shaking her head, Caroline continued, "I won't stand for it! That's letting her off too easy! I had to cut her off financially, make her face real punishment! Ha!"

Caroline's lips twisted into a cold smile, her demeanor becoming more unhinged, "She killed my child... It's divine retribution!"

As she spoke, her emotions surged out of control.

"She and her daughter deserve to suffer! It's not my fault! Don't you dare try to pin this on me!"

Her chin lifted defiantly, "They're just suffering, but my child is gone! Gone!"

"Oh my..."

Sylvia's chest pain intensified.

"Grandma?" Gilbert rushed to support her, "Where's your medicine?"

"In there..."

Sylvia patted his hand, signaling, "Push me inside."

"Alright!"
