Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 703

Gilbert's frown deepened instantly, ice cold disapproval flashing through his eyes.

"You just let her walk out alone? What if something happened to her? Would your hospital take responsibility? Can you even handle that?!"

"No, she wasn't alone!"

The nurse was visibly flustered, shaking her head and waving her hands, "Mr. Ferguson came to pick her up!"

Gilbert's eyes widened in surprise, Edgar?

...

When they arrived at Sunset Ridge Community, Edgar parked the car in front of the apartment complex.

Walking Sherilyn to the door, he couldn't hide his concern, "I'll wait here. Just text me when you're inside, then I'll leave."

She had just been discharged from the hospital; it was better to be safe.

"Sure," Sherilyn responded with a smile.

Just as she turned to enter, a youthful voice called out from the side of the road.

"Mommy!"

Sherilyn turned to see Jenna, initially in Sophia's arms, now running towards her with her little legs.

Grinning, she laughed, "Ha-ha, Mommy! It's you! Sophia said it wasn't, but Jenna has good eyes! It's definitely Mommy!"

"Jenna!" Sherilyn bent down, opening her arms to catch her daughter.

Unexpectedly, Jenna dashed straight towards Edgar, wrapping her arms around his legs, "Mommy hug!"

Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh, "Jenna?"

Sophia, catching up from behind, couldn't contain her laughter either, "Jenna, you bragged about your good eyesight, but look, is that Mommy you're hugging?"

Jenna looked up, puzzled. Why hadn't Mommy picked her up yet?

Instead, she found herself hugging a tall man.

Blinking, Jenna realized, "You're not Mommy!"

Yet, she didn't let go of Edgar's leg.

Edgar was more nervous than he'd ever been, this being his first time hugged by someone so small. He dared not move, afraid of causing her any harm.
