Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 309

Sherilyn was still reeling from it all, too weak to fight back, so she just closed her eyes and tried to ignore him.

Was this her silent protest?

Gilbert chuckled bitterly. "You hate me, don’t you?"

Of course, Sherilyn didn’t answer, and he didn’t expect her to.

"You know as well as anyone, the root of today's disaster is Adela. I just picked up the pieces. Without me, you and Edgar would've split anyway, and you... you’d be in a far worse place."

Sherilyn’s eyelashes fluttered as she kept her eyes closed, hands clenched, still silent.

"Ah well..."

With a sigh of resignation, Gilbert said, "Just try to rest, okay? Stop overthinking things."

Looking at Sherilyn's stubborn face, he thought to himself, forget it, let’s not make a big deal out of it... What’s the point of arguing with a heartbroken woman?

...

When Sherilyn woke up, she was alone in the room.

She wasn’t sure when Gilbert had left. The sedatives had a calming effect, and she had fallen asleep.

Feeling a bit stronger, she moved her limbs.

Sitting up, she noticed her clothes were placed beside the bed.

Gilbert hadn’t taken advantage of her while she was asleep. Not that she considered him a gentleman - he simply didn’t care enough.

She was acutely aware of this. Even when they were married, he couldn’t be bothered with her.

Standing up, she got dressed, then her phone rang.

It was Daphne calling.

“Hello, Ms. Hansen.”

In this ordeal, Daphne had taken quite a hit. Over the phone, Daphne asked her to come to the hospital.

“Of course, Ms. Hansen.”

After hanging up, Sherilyn hurried to the hospital.
