Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1024

Sherilyn meticulously opened the pillbox, retrieving the evening's dose before instructing him, "Go get a glass of water, we're starting these tonight."

"Sure," Gilbert complied, heading to the kitchen.

Returning shortly with a bottle of water, he placed it on the table.

"Here you go," Sherilyn handed the pills to him, "Take them."

"Alright," Gilbert took the pills, about to swallow them.

"Hold on..." Sherilyn suddenly stopped him.

Confused, Gilbert asked, "What's wrong?"

"This water..." Sherilyn frowned, pointing at the water in his hand, "Is it cold or warm?"

"Cold," Gilbert admitted, "Took it out of the fridge."

"That won't do!"

Sherilyn's face fell, "You can't take pills with cold water!"

As she stood up, berating him and heading towards the kitchen, "You had one job, getting water, and you couldn't even do that right? Who takes medication with cold water?"

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert chuckled, pulling her back, "It's okay."

As he spoke, he tilted his head back and swallowed the pills with a gulp of water.

"Gilbert!" Sherilyn gasped, grabbing his arm in a failed attempt to stop him.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she grew furious, "Didn't I tell you not to use cold water?"

Silent, Gilbert didn't anticipate her anger.

He reassured her, "It's alright..."

"How is it alright?" Sherilyn snapped, her eyebrows knitting together.
