Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 458

"Where's the watch? Hand it over!"

"Hmph."

With a scoff, the man reached into his coat pocket and, in a swift motion, drew out a switchblade, plunging it towards Edgar!

Then, he pushed Edgar to the ground with force and took off!

"Edgar!" Sherilyn arrived just in time to witness the scene.

Her face turned pale in an instant, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground beside Edgar. "Edgar! Where are you hurt?"

"It's nothing..."

Supporting his arm, Edgar looked towards Sherilyn, whose face was ashen, and gave her a weak smile. "Don't worry, it's just my arm. It's nothing serious."

Nothing serious?

Blood was seeping through his fingers where he clutched his arm. How could this be 'nothing serious'?

"We need to get to the hospital now!" Sherilyn helped Edgar to his feet. "Come on, we have to go now!"

"Okay..." Edgar nodded, apologizing. "I'm sorry I couldn't get your watch back for you."

"At a time like this, you're worried about the watch?"

Sherilyn shook her head in disapproval. If she had known chasing after a watch would get Edgar hurt, she would have never pursued it.

"The car's here, get in!"

"Alright."

...

On the way to the theater, Gilbert received a call from David.

"David. I'll be there soon."

"Mr. Gilbert." David sounded concerned. "I got here on time, but Ms. Sherilyn is nowhere to be found. Also, her phone's going straight to voicemail."

What? Gilbert's brow furrowed. "Okay, I got it. I'll try calling her."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Gilbert immediately tried calling Sherilyn.

Just as David had said, there was no answer from Sherilyn. Was Sherilyn upset?

But Gilbert tried calling again, and this time, to his surprise, she picked up.
