Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 593

Sherilyn's slender back stiffened, and she turned around with a look that was somewhere between tears and laughter.

"Yeah, you caught on quick, didn't you?"

"Sherilyn…" Gilbert furrowed his brows in a flash.

With a cold laugh, Sherilyn's lips curled, "But hey, I never lied to you. I told you straight up, I'm not into you anymore."

From the get-go, he was insistent on being with her, despite her making it clear not just once!

She had told him, and she had told Sylvia too!

Sherilyn's laughter was cold, "So, what? You're here to call me out?"

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert's expression darkened, "That's not what I meant!"

He frowned deeply, his voice low, "I know everything now... about the ectopic pregnancy."

Being with him was all for Jenna.

Jenna was battling aplastic anemia – something he was well aware of from the start.

As he fit all the pieces together, it suddenly clicked for him: Sherilyn's motive was to have another child with him... to save Jenna!

So, her getting pregnant meant there was no way she would terminate the pregnancy. That's why he had Charles investigate!

It turned out he had misunderstood Sherilyn all along!

Gilbert gazed at her intensely, puzzled, "Why didn't you just tell me from the start?"

For Jenna's sake, she would want to keep him around, right?

"Why?"

Sherilyn sighed deeply, her smile faint, "You did all that digging but missed this? After an ectopic pregnancy, it's not advisable to get pregnant for at least six months."

It wasn't just about the mother's health.

Moreover, with too short a recovery period, the chances of another ectopic pregnancy were high.

Not to mention the possible complications for the fetus, including developmental issues and miscarriage...

Now it made sense to Gilbert.
