"Come on, eat before it gets cold."
"Sure."
Gilbert pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a fork and knife. He had barely taken a couple of bites when his phone rang—it was Sherilyn.
"Hello?"
Sherilyn swiped to answer and stood up, heading towards the door.
"You're here? Yes, room V19... I'll come out to meet you, okay..."
Gilbert looked up just in time to see Sherilyn pulling open the hospital room door.
"Edgar," Sherilyn called from the doorway, waving outside, "Over here."
Today, Edgar had wanted to come over, but Sherilyn had declined. This was her responsibility, and with Galen and Gilbert there, she felt covered. Edgar understood; he was just a friend to her now and knew she had enough support, so he didn't push it. He opted to visit after work instead.
"Sherilyn."
Edgar arrived slightly out of breath, having jogged over, "How's everything going? Was today smooth?"
Sherilyn offered a soft smile, "Yes, everything's been arranged smoothly."
Checking the time, she asked, "You're here now, but have you eaten dinner?"
"No."
"Well then..."
"Sherilyn."
Edgar interrupted her with a smile, pulling a handmade cloth bag from his pocket.
"What's this?"
Edgar seemed a bit shy, "I stopped by the Serene Faith Chapel today."
"Serene Faith Chapel?"
The Serene Faith Chapel, nestled in the western suburbs of Sunhaven, was a century-old temple that still attracted a faithful following even today.
Sherilyn was surprised, "You believe?"
"When the occasion calls for it."
Edgar chuckled, handing the small cloth bag to her with a slight cough, "I got a blessing charm for Jenna there."
Sherilyn was taken aback, realizing it was for her...
"Isn't it a bit silly?"
