Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 248

"Alright." Jenna obediently handed her phone to William. "Here you go, William."

"Thank you, Jenna."

The screen now showed William.

"Sherilyn."

"Dr. William, about Jenna’s surgery..."

"I was just about to discuss that with you. If all goes well, Jenna's surgery should be scheduled for a month from now, less than two months away."

William explained, "We'll set the exact date a week before the surgery, and I'll notify you immediately. Make sure your arrangements are in place. You'll be coming back, right?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Sherilyn's eyes instantly brimmed with tears, "So, in less than two months, Jenna will, she'll..."

Overwhelmed, she found herself at a loss for words.

"Yes."

William understood her emotions and spoke for her, "In less than two months, Jenna will have her surgery, and afterward, she'll be just like any other kid."

"Oh my god..." Suddenly, Sherilyn covered her mouth as her vision blurred with tears.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Dr. William."

...

After wrapping up, Sherilyn left the studio and received a call from Edgar.

"Hey, Sherilyn?"

It was a bit noisy on the other end. Edgar raised his voice. "You have a night shoot tonight? Are you done? I'm actually passing by the studio and thought I might pick you up."

It wasn't exactly a detour for him.

But since Sherilyn hadn't accepted him yet, he tried to play it cool.

"You're at the studio?"

Sherilyn looked around, standing in place. "I'm right at the entrance, but I can't see you. Where are you?"

"I see you. Just stay there."

"Okay."

Edgar was genuinely surprised and happy for her, "That's indeed great news, worth celebrating. But..."

He was unsure, "At the time, Derek said his mom couldn’t convince Ms. Hansen..."

"Huh?"

Sherilyn was momentarily puzzled, "You mean, it wasn't Mrs. Brooks who helped?"

She shook her head, "But who else could have convinced Ms. Hansen?"

Indeed.

Edgar didn't want to take credit, "Anyway, it wasn't my doing—I'll make sure to thank Derek properly when I see him."

"Yeah!"

Sherilyn nodded with a smile, "Thank him, thank Mrs. Brooks, and thank you too. I couldn't have talked to Derek on my own."

She earnestly added, "Thank you, Edgar."

Overjoyed, she turned and pointed in a direction. "Are you hungry? Let me treat you to some late-night food, how about it?"
