Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1200

Rebecca arched an eyebrow, her tone cool but edged with curiosity.

She pressed on, “You’re saying she lost her mind. But why? What kind of shock did she go through?”

Francis’s gaze flickered. “Rebecca... I already told you, it’s not really my place to share. It’s her business—”

Rebecca let out a small, bitter laugh. “Her business? Really? What kind of secret are you trying so hard to keep?”

“Rebecca—”

“If you won’t say it, I will.”

She’d had plenty of time to piece things together while she waited for him.

Rebecca’s eyes narrowed as she asked, “Caroline came back because she saw Eddy at Sapphire Springs Medical Center, didn’t she?”

It wasn’t hard to figure out. If something could shake Caroline this badly, it had to be serious. Rebecca knew all too well—she’d been through something similar herself.

Her face went a little pale. “Five years ago, on my wedding night… Caroline was in my bridal suite. With Eddy.”

Francis’s mask slipped for a heartbeat—Rebecca caught the flash of guilt.

She gave a wry, humorless chuckle. “So you did know all along.”

She faced him head-on, eyes sharp. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Francis was silent for a long moment, Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed.

He finally asked, “How did you find out? Did Eddy tell you?”

“Does it matter?” Rebecca’s eyes widened, her voice trembling with the effort to keep calm. “Isn’t it time you told me why Caroline and I ended up in the wrong rooms that night? Don’t tell me it was just a coincidence.”
