Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 437

Date?

When Gilbert brought it up with such gravity, Sherilyn couldn't help but ask, "Is it some special occasion or something?"

With a mysterious smile, Gilbert dodged the question. "You'll see when the day comes."

All this mystery?

Sherilyn pondered for a moment. Her birthday had already passed, and his was yet to come... After all, she remembered the birthday of the man she'd had a crush on for years.

Their wedding anniversary? What wedding anniversary could there possibly be to celebrate for a divorced couple?

Unable to figure out what special day it might be, she decided to just wait and see.

...

Saturday morning.

Gilbert dropped Sherilyn off at the dance studio, reminding her, "Don't forget about our date tonight. I'll pick you up."

"Got it."

Sherilyn had to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. How many times did he need to mention it?

His persistent nagging only made her more curious. What on earth was so important about today?

Afternoon.

While changing, Sherilyn's phone rang.

It was Sophia, sounding frantic. "Sherilyn! Are you busy? Can you make it? Jenna's not doing well!"

What? At those words, Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong with Jenna? Where are you guys?"

"Jenna's got both ends erupting..."

Sherilyn's vision blurred for a moment. "I'll call an ambulance right now, let's meet at the hospital!"

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Sherilyn quickly changed and rushed to the hospital.

She arrived at the emergency department entrance before the ambulance, ready to wait for Jenna.

When the ambulance arrived, Sophia stepped out, holding Jenna in her arms.

"Jenna."

"Don't mention it."

Elijah shook his head with a smile. "You made the right call. Please let me know right away if there are any changes in Jenna's condition."

He continued, "Jenna's condition is currently stable. Just keep up with the regular check-ups and treatments. Call me anytime if there's anything."

"Will do, thank you."

After bidding Elijah goodbye, Sherilyn returned to Jenna's side.

Jenna's eyes were watery, her lashes damp. In a raspy little voice, she asked, "Mommy, are you going to leave?"

The little one was trying to be 'generous'. "Mommy, you go on. Jenna can stay here, okay?"

Hearing her daughter's understanding words twisted Sherilyn's heart, bringing a surge of emotion to her throat and nose.

After taking a deep breath, she hugged Jenna. "Mommy's not going anywhere. I'll stay right here with Jenna, okay?"

"Really?" Jenna's teary eyes suddenly sparkled with life, but then she hesitated. "Is that okay? Don't you have things to do?"

"Not at all." Holding her daughter close, Sherilyn soothed her softly. "Being with Jenna is more important than anything else."
