Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 761

"Jake? If you don't say anything, is our big brother coming in?"

After a long silence without getting a response, Alex, growing anxious, pushed the door open to go in.

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open, and there stood Jake, his upper body soaked, with water dripping from his hair.

But that wasn't all.

He looked as pale as a ghost, clearly out of sorts, moving as if he were a shadow of himself.

What happened?

Alex didn't know the specifics, but he had heard from the nurse that Emily had been here.

It must have something to do with Emily.

Seeing his brother like this, did they have another fight? And a serious one at that?

Alex let out a barely audible sigh, "Jake…"

He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but words were never his strong suit.

"Big brother." Jake forced a smile, more pained than cheerful, "You're here?"

"Yeah."

Alex nodded, filled with concern for his brother, "You're all wet. Go change, you have therapy later."

"Right, big brother."

Jake's smile widened, somehow more brilliant yet more tragic.

Alex couldn't bear to watch and instructed the caregiver, "Please help Mr. Jake."

"Of course."

As Jake went to change, Alex turned and picked up his phone to call Sarah.

"I've found Jake…"

He had intended to keep it from Sarah, hoping it would give Emily and his brother more time together.

But now, they had fallen out.

Perhaps, it would be better with more people around him.

After the call, Jake came out in fresh clothes, supported by the caregiver to lie down on the bed.

The nurse came in for his treatment and noticed his hand was bleeding.

"Mr. Jake's hand needs to be bandaged."
