Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"Sorry, what was that? Playing dumb now?"

Caroline glared at her, a smirk playing on her lips.

"A married woman like you, shamelessly pining over Francis. You're the reason Grandma's in this state!"

Rebecca White stiffened, a chill running down her spine.

"Caroline!"

Sherilyn frowned, cutting her off, "Why would Grandma suddenly know about this? It was you, wasn't it? You're the one who told her and got her so worked up!"

Caroline burst into laughter as if she'd just heard the joke of the century. "Oh, this is just too good!"

Her tone dropped, her gaze sharp as she turned to them.

"That's right!"

She didn't deny it, "Yes, I told Grandma. But, Sherilyn, are you seriously blaming me for her condition? Have you no shame?"

She challenged Rebecca White, "And you, tell me, is it a lie that you're a married woman?"

Rebecca White's face went pale, she had no words.

"Caroline!"

Sherilyn cut her off again, "Don't twist the truth! Yes, Rebecca White was married, but my brother has known about it from the start! He knows the full story better than anyone!"

Then, with a cold laugh, "As for you, you're just bitter because my brother chose to wait for Rebecca White rather than be with you. You deliberately upset Grandma!"

"Do you really think that by upsetting Grandma, my brother would break things off with Rebecca White? Keep dreaming! My brother isn't that foolish! And he'll see right through your game. You're the real culprit here!"

"Caroline!"

Gilbert, with a frown, warned her, shaking his head, "Stop it, we're in a hospital, not a place for quarrels."

"Huh?"

Caroline paused, then laughed, "You're only seeing me arguing? Didn't you see her arguing with me?"

Gilbert remained silent, his gaze shifting to Sherilyn but his words were for Caroline.

"Grandma is still inside. Let's keep it down."

"Hm?"

Caroline's eyes widened in surprise she snickered and nodded, "So,

you're taking their side now? Have you lost your senses to not see right from wrong?"

Gilbert's intense gaze, and sat down with Rebecca White on a bench.

"Big bro."

"Francis!"

They had just sat down when Francis approached. He had just finished signing some documents at the doctor's office. "Yeah."

Francis nodded, his brows furrowed as he glanced at Gilbert, "Grandma's condition isn't great. She was moved from the emergency room straight to the ICU."

Was it that serious?

Gilbert's expression darkened, "Is she in danger?"

"It's too early to say," Francis shook his head, his face showing his exhaustion.

The brothers exchanged worried looks, falling into a heavy silence.

Their grandmother was getting on in years, her heart had always been weak.

"The hospital won't allow visits."

Francis said gravely, "Don't wait here. Everyone should head home."

He glanced at Rebecca White, then at Caroline.

"Rebecca, I..."

"I'll go with Sherilyn!"

Predicting what he was about to say, Rebecca White quickly linked arms with Sherilyn, turning her face away from him. "Sherilyn, oh?"

This left Sherilyn speechless, caught in an awkward position as she looked at Francis.

"Alright then." Francis sighed, a hint of resignation in his voice. He then turned to his brother.

"Gilbert, please take care of Rebecca White for me. Make sure she and Sherilyn get home safely."

As for him, it was late, and he couldn't just leave Caroline behind.

Gilbert nodded, his expression stoic, "Don't worry, big bro."
