Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 468

Francis' face remained impassive, his voice calm and collected, "It's just a pity, they didn't finish me off."

With that, any further attempts on him would prove difficult.

He was awake now, and it was time to settle old scores and pay back debts!

According to what Francis had explained, the child... was indeed an accident.

Objectively speaking, Gilbert believed it wasn't his brother's fault, but even so, it was uncertain whether Caroline would accept it.

But since the child was of his brother's blood, he definitely couldn't be left to fend for himself.

As for Caroline, they would have to keep it from her for the time being.

Gilbert was concerned and said, "Brother, if the child is going to be raised by the Johnsons, then... what about her mother?"

"Why worry about such things?" Francis spoke softly, his handsome face calm and indifferent. "In my mind, the child's mother merely gave him life. Beyond that, she and I share nothing."

Hearing this, Gilbert sighed in relief.

That was a relief.

"Brother, don't worry too much. Give Caroline some time; I believe she'll understand."

After all, it was truly an accident.

His brother's feelings for her remained unchanged, as before.

"Mm." Francis nodded, a hint of concern knitting his brows, "I hope so."

...

That afternoon, as Sherilyn left the hospital, Jenna was feeling much better, allowing her a bit of peace of mind.

Returning to the dance company, Gilbert arrived on time to pick her up as usual.

While buckling her into her seat, Gilbert cleared his throat, "Ahem, ahem."

Sherilyn frowned, "Are you coughing? Are you sick?"

"No." Gilbert paused, then chuckled, shaking his head, "It's just been too dry lately, my throat's a bit parched."

"Oh." Sherilyn nodded, dropping the subject.

That evening, as Sherilyn nestled in Gilbert's arms, they discussed plans.

"Tomorrow night, I've made plans with Rebecca to have dinner at her place, and if it gets late, I'll stay over."

Jenna's treatment tomorrow is going to be more uncomfortable than today. No matter what, she needed to be there at the hospital with her.
