Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 727

After taking her medicine, Jenna slept relatively peacefully.

Sherilyn returned to the hospital, and Sophia poured her some warm water, handing it over. "You stay with Jenna, I'll go make some food."

"Thanks, Sophia," Sherilyn nodded. "Just prepare something for Jenna. I’ll grab something quick for myself."

"Alright, got it."

Once Sophia was gone, Sherilyn stayed by the bed, gently stroking Jenna's sweaty forehead.

She pulled out Jenna's favorite little towel from her bag and tenderly wiped her daughter's face.

The sunlight streaming through the window was a bit too bright, making Jenna frown in her sleep.

Quickly, Sherilyn got up to draw the curtains. As she turned around, the door opened, and Gilbert walked in.

"Sherilyn."

Her gaze dropped to Gilbert's bandaged and sling-supported arm, and she couldn’t help but smirk.

"Playing the hero and got yourself hurt?"

Gilbert grimaced. "Just a dislocated shoulder."

"Just?" Sherilyn raised an eyebrow, her smile deepening yet turning colder. "Seems like you're quite the martyr."

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert frowned, at a loss for words.

It seemed no matter what he said, Sherilyn would take it the wrong way.

"I find it quite pitiful too."

Ignoring him, Sherilyn continued, "Why didn’t you both just ride off into the sunset together?"

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert snapped, anger in his voice.

He glanced at Jenna, sleeping on the bed, and forced his voice to soften, despite his frustration. "Even if you don’t like Caroline, you shouldn’t have provoked her in that situation."

"Oh?"

Sherilyn shrugged indifferently, her dark eyes sparkling. "What, you came here to accuse me? Planning on calling the cops?"

Gilbert felt a pang in his chest. "That’s not what I meant…"

"Then shut it."

Sherilyn turned away from him, sitting by the bed with an annoyed expression. "Jenna needs rest. Keep it down, don't disturb her."
