Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 525

The door swung open at the touch of the butler's hand.

"Doctor, Ms. White is waiting in the living room."

Like clockwork, the doctor made his visits at this time each day.

Rebecca, despite her blindness, seemed to have her hearing heightened, picking up the sound of two sets of footsteps entering.

It was always two people who came with the doctor.

But aside from the doctor, the other person never spoke a word.

Rebecca speculated, perhaps a nurse or an assistant?

"How are we feeling today, Ms. White?"

"I'm doing quite well, thank you." Rebecca straightened herself on the couch, a slight smile on her face despite the bandages still covering her eyes.

"Francis?"

"Yes," Francis nodded, motioning towards a wicker chair before taking a seat himself, "What brings you here?"

He couldn't believe his brother was investigating him.

After all, he trusted his brother.

"Francis..."
