Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 829

After breakfast, the group divided into two cars and headed to the hospital. Galen had already reserved a room, and a nurse escorted them in, helping them settle and complete the admission process. Later, Dr. Connor stopped by to check on them.

"You'll need to undergo some tests over the next couple of days, along with preparations for the surgery. Get familiar with the hospital surroundings, ensure you get plenty of rest, and if there are any dietary or lifestyle adjustments needed, let's get those sorted."

"Understood."

A dedicated nurse guided Jenna and Galen through a series of tests around the medical building. Some of the tests were quite uncomfortable. Galen, even as an adult, struggled, and Jenna found it even harder. Each test was a trial for her.

"Mr. Gilbert."

Jenna, teary-eyed, lay against Gilbert's shoulder. "Is it not over yet? Jenna feels really bad."

Throughout today's tests, Gilbert carried her, not wanting his daughter to walk a single step. Seeing his daughter in discomfort was already hard on him. And hearing her cry? Even worse.

"Jenna, sweetheart." Gilbert hugged his daughter, feeling a sharp pain from the core of his heart to the tips of his fingers.

"This is the last one. After these tests, we can proceed with the surgery, and then we'll be all better, a healthy girl again."

"Really?"

Jenna looked up at Sherilyn questioningly. Though she adored Gilbert, deep down, her mom remained her most trusted and reliable person.

"Mommy, is that true?"

Suddenly, Sherilyn's eyes welled up, and she gently stroked her daughter's head. "Yes, sweetheart, Jenna is brave. Just finish the tests, okay?"

"Okay."

Jenna pursed her lips, nodded, and stopped her sobbing.

"Mr. Martin, Mr. Johnson, we can proceed to the next one..."

The accompanying nurse came over to notify them.
