Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 314

In the hospital room, Edgar was conscious but still too weak to speak.

"Edgar."

Sherilyn stood by the bedside, tears welling in her eyes as she took in the sight of Edgar, his body swathed in bandages.

Edgar's eyes widened at the sight of her, and he attempted to speak, "Sheri...lyn..."

"It's me."

Sherilyn moved closer to examine him carefully.

With a smile, she teased, "How could you be so careless to get yourself in this state?"

Since Edgar couldn't speak, she continued the one-sided conversation.

"Was it for me?"

Sherilyn laughed through her tears. "Silly, I'm not worth it... Didn't you see everything with your own eyes?"

Edgar frowned, pain visible on his face as he slowly shook his head.

"Edgar." She reached out to gently grasp his hand, struggling to speak.

"You're a good man. Honestly, if I weren’t with Gilbert before, I'd still choose you in a heartbeat, even if your family didn't like me at all!"

Edgar froze, tears spilling from his eyes.

Sherilyn, Sherilyn...

"Edgar, never doubt yourself. Our not being together is entirely my fault, I let you down!"

Sherilyn bowed her head, her tears dropping onto his hand.

"Edgar, you need to recover quickly. Then, live well, just like I told you when we first met, you'll find someone truly right for you!"

Her voice was choked with emotion, but every word was clear.

She smiled at Edgar, "Forget me... completely."

With that, she slowly, gently, withdrew her hand.
