Chapter 41
What? At that moment, Gilbert was utterly stunned
Licking his dry lips, he muttered, “Grandma, where’s her grandmother’s grave again?”
“You’ve been there yourself. Haven’t you forgotten? It’s at Wind Bridge..
Oh no! Gilbert frowned deeply, closing his eyes momentanly. Wind Bridge! So Sherlyn hadn’t lied to him. She did go to Wind Bridge. She went to visit her grandmother’s grave
Sylvia was on the line. “Gilbert, Gilbert? Did you hear me?”
Gilbert replied. “Yes, Grandma”
“Ah.” Sylvia sighed, “Sherilyn used to be a bit spoiled, but she was a kid then, wasn’t she? I think she’s matured a lot since she returned. She’s all alone now. She has no one else but us. Be nicer to her, will you?”
“Grandma, something urgent came up, I gotta go As he reached the emergency room, Gilbert humedly ended the call and stepped in to find Sherlyn
Pulling back the curtain, he froze. The bed was empty, with no sign of Sherilyn anywhere.
“Where is she?” Gilbert inquired about Sherilyn with the nurse
The nurse looked bewildered. “Your gidfriend said shed wait outside for you! Didn’t you see her?”
Huh. Gilbert gave an icy smile. If he had actually seen her, would he even need to ask?
He snapped, “She’s a patient an unconscious one at that! And you just let her leave like that? Your hospital will be in big trouble if anything happens to her”
The nurse was nearly in tears.
As Gilbert walked out, he dialed Sherilyn, but she didn’t pick up Was she mad, deliberately ignoring his calls? Or had she fainted again, not hearing the ring?
With no other option left, Gilbert decided to head back to Golden Oak Manor to see if she had returned there
On the way, he called Charles “It’s me”
Charles answered respectfully “Mr. Gilbert, what can I do for you?”
Gilbert ordered, “Check if any accidents happened near Wind Bridge today”
“Oh, that” Charles replied promptly. “No need to check. I’m aware of that. An overpass near V team is still clearing the scene”
That explained it
Gilbert closed his eyes briefly, unable to hide his frustration.
Sherlyn hadn’t lied. She got stuck at Wind Bridge. So, how did she make it to the town hall?
Wind Bndge collapsed today. The rescue
He recalled his words, “Even if you have to crawl, you need to get here” And thinking of her, drenched and covered in mud, crawled her way there?
Suddenly, Gilbert gripped the steering wheel tighter, his jaw clenched. He might not like her, but he never that! He stepped on the gas, speeding toward Golden Dak Manor
