Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 711

Francis escorted Rebecca into the restroom, his voice soft and reassuring, "I'll close the door but wait right outside for you. If it makes you feel better, you can lock the door."

"Okay."

Rebecca nodded, a blush creeping onto her cheeks at the gentle gesture. Holding hands had already made her slightly embarrassed, and his caring words only intensified that feeling.

"Th-thank you."

"Don't mention it."

With that, Francis turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.

Fumbling a bit in the unfamiliar surroundings, Rebecca finally managed to wash her hands after finishing her business. Just then, her phone, kept in her pocket, began to ring, piercing the quiet of the night.

It was still the same old phone, but to avoid Eddie Jones, she had switched to a new SIM card after checking into Southern District Sanatorium. Ever since she had moved to the sanatorium, her phone rarely rang.

Other than Sherilyn, hardly anyone called her.

Puzzled, Rebecca thought it might be Sherilyn. She swiped to answer, "Hello...?"

"Rebecca White." Eddie's voice came through, "Finally, I've got you on the line!"

Rebecca's heart skipped a beat, her face draining of color, "You, you..."

"What about me?"

On the other end, Eddie's laughter was cold, "So, you've found yourself a sugar daddy and holed up in Southern District Sanatorium, huh? Even changed your phone number! You've gone off the deep end, haven't you?"

"No, that's not it..."

Rebecca, pale and trembling, protested, "I haven't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense?"

Eddie's voice dripped with scorn, "Last time, I almost caught you in the act! Rebecca White, just you wait. When I get my hands on you, I'll make sure the whole world knows you're nothing but a tramp. I'll tarnish your name so badly, you'll wish you were dead... You remember how that feels, don't you? Want to go through that again? Ha!"

"Ah!"
