Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 745

"Grandma!"

Francis's brows were furrowed so tightly, a rare spark of urgency flickered in his eyes, "You can't talk about Gilbert like that!"

"During all these years at the Johnsons, Gilbert didn't scheme for anything from us. If he were that sort of person, he could've easily claimed everything for himself while I was out cold those four years. But he didn't!"

Over those years, he diligently managed everything for the Johnsons.

To outsiders, he was the powerful figure steering the Johnsons, but in reality, he was nothing short of a loyal worker!

"He truly sees us as family, treats you like a grandmother, and me like his own brother! Speaking of him this way, you're hurting him deeply!"

...

Sylvia was speechless.

She couldn't refute those words.

"Ah..."

The old lady sobbed, suddenly covering her eyes.

"What do you want me to do then? Just the thought of my Gilbert being gone... and him taking Gilbert's place, it just breaks my heart... Gilbert, my dear Gilbert! Sob..."

...

Chasing after Gilbert was definitely not an option now.

Upon leaving the hospital room, Francis dialed Gilbert's number.

But...

His brother's phone was never out of reach. Clearly, he had turned it off himself.

"Sawyer." Francis gestured for Sawyer to come over.

"Mr. Francis, what do you need?"

"I need you to inform Charles, along with Allen and Abel – and you, to go look for Gilbert. We have to find him!"

"Understood." Sawyer stiffened, quickly affirming and setting off.

"What's going on?"

Caroline arrived, concerned for Sylvia. Seeing Francis in distress, she knew something was up.

"Is Grandma not doing well?"

"It's not that."
