Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 436

"Just saying."

Rebecca said with a smile, tinged with a hint of envy, "Seriously, Caroline hit the jackpot, marrying into the Johnsons, Sunhaven's top family! And let's not forget, Francis... he’s quite the looker."

"Really?" Sherilyn appeared puzzled, "You've met him?"

"Sure have."

Rebecca reminded her, "Remember, that time you had that spat with Mr. Gilbert and he stormed off to Sunset Ridge Community? Francis was there too; he even gave me a lift home."

Reflecting for a moment, she praised, "Truly a gentleman, so refined and handsome!"

…

Sherilyn made another trip to the hospital.

This time, it was to get a prescription for fertility drugs.

The doctor was a contact of Joyce Cooper.

After failing to conceive last time, Sherilyn couldn't let it go. "Doctor, I did everything you told me, but it didn't work."

"Relax," The doctor advised, "Getting pregnant can be tricky. Taking these drugs doesn’t guarantee success."

"I understand," Sherilyn nodded. She knew he was right, but how could she not be anxious?

"Do you need another prescription?"

"Yes, please."

The doctor, unaware of her reasons, kindly advised, "You’re still young; there’s no need to put this much pressure on yourself. Moreover, these drugs shouldn’t be taken too often; they can have side effects."

Joyce had said the same thing.

But Sherilyn felt she had no choice, "I understand, thanks for your concern. Sorry to trouble you."

Seeing that his advice was futile, the doctor wrote her the prescription.

"If you feel nauseous or dizzy, make sure to rest."

"Will do, doctor."

That evening, when Gilbert returned to Golden Oak Manor, Sherilyn greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Welcome back." She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself against him.

Gilbert took this as an invitation.

With one hand supporting her lower back and the other cradling her jaw, he leaned down to kiss her.
