Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 484

Sherilyn paused, a chuckle escaping her lips. "Well, of course, I went to fetch something for you. Wouldn't I bring it back?"

"Right..." Gilbert flashed her a smile. "Be careful on your way, and hurry back."

"Got it."

With a wave of her hand, Sherilyn turned and left the hospital room.

The moment the door clicked shut, a sudden pang of anxiety clenched at Gilbert's heart, an inexplicable worry gripping him. She had left, just like that, never to return...

Stepping out of the hospital building, Sherilyn joined David in the car.

As they drove towards the hospital's main gate, passing a small grove, Sherilyn caught a glimpse of Francis and Caroline through the car window.

Were they arguing about something?

The car sped away, and they were out of sight.

In the grove.

Caroline's eyes were red, her back turned to Francis.

"Caroline." Francis, leaning on a cane, handkerchief in hand, attempted to wipe away her tears.

"Stop crying, it's all my fault. If you're upset, take it out on me."

"On you?"

Caroline spun around, eyes blazing with resentment. "Fine, then let me ask you directly! The child is three years old, where's his mother? You've kept him at the Sawyer's, and that woman, where have you kept her?"

"There's no woman."

Francis uttered those four words, his brow furrowed, a beautiful face flashing before his eyes...

With a firm resolve, he declared. "There's no other woman."

"What?" Caroline was taken aback, her voice tinged with sarcasm. "Do you think I'm a fool? No woman, did you give birth to the child yourself?"

"That's not what I meant." Francis shook his head. "I only acknowledge the child. As for the child's mother... I don't know who she is, and I have no intention of entangling with her."

Caroline froze, staring into his eyes with disbelief.
