Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 471

Not long after Gilbert left, the medicine was delivered.

That night, Jenna took the medicine without a hitch.

It worked wonders, except for one side effect—it made her too lively.

It was already past eight-thirty, a time when the little rascal was usually deep in dreamland, but tonight, she was fussing and refusing to sleep.

"Jenna," Sherilyn patted the bed, "come here and sleep with Mommy."

"Okay!"

Jenna agreed, jumping onto the bed, her eyes wide open and her mouth spread in a grin, "Mommy, hehe..."

"You're still laughing?" Sherilyn was torn between laughter and tears, "It's bedtime!"

"Hehehe..."

Jenna kept giggling and causing a ruckus, leaving Sherilyn and Sophia taking turns trying to soothe her, all to no avail.

Sophia's phone rang—it was Gilbert.

"Mr. Gilbert."

"Mhm." Gilbert was spending the night alone, 'tossing and turning in bed', and had called because he was worried about Jenna.

"Did you give her the medicine? How's Jenna?"

Sophia glanced at the lively Jenna, "She's great, just too great. She won't go to sleep even now."

"Sir?"

How sharp was Jenna? She immediately climbed up, reaching for the phone, "I want to talk to him!"

"Alright." Sophia handed her the phone with a smile.

"Sir!"

Hearing the little one's voice, Gilbert knew the medicine had taken effect. His brows relaxed, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"It's late, Jenna. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Sir, I'm watching the moon! It's so pretty."

"Is that so?"

Gilbert walked to the window, looking up to see the moon at the start of the month, a thin crescent like a little boat.
