Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 885

"Achoo!"

Back in the quaint Sunset Ridge Community, Sherilyn sneezed unexpectedly as she stepped out of the car.

"Mommy?"

"Sherilyn?"

Gilbert, holding Jenna, looked at her with identical expressions of concern.

"I'm fine," Sherilyn chuckled. It was just a sneeze, nothing to worry about, right?

"The weather's been so erratic lately, switching from warm to cold. I might have caught a chill."

She rummaged through her bag for a face mask, deciding to wear it just in case, to avoid passing anything to Jenna.

Gilbert, still worried, furrowed his brow and advised, "You should take some medicine... do we have any at home?"

"Yeah, we do," Sherilyn smiled reassuringly, nudging him gently, "Aren't you in a hurry? Don't just stand there, go on up."

Once they were settled in their upstairs apartment, Sherilyn urged Gilbert, "It's nearly eleven, you should get going."

His phone had been buzzing non-stop during the drive.

"Alright."

Before leaving, Gilbert reminded her, "Don't forget to take your medicine."

Sherilyn paused briefly, then smiled warmly at him, "I know."

After all, she knew to take care of herself.

With Gilbert gone, Sherilyn promptly found some medicine to take. Later in the afternoon, she had to head out for a promotional event for a new show.

Feeling under the weather, Sherilyn wasn’t very hungry and barely touched her lunch.

She reminded Jenna, "Be good at home and listen to Sophia, okay? Mommy will bring you a blueberry cake when I come back."

"Thank you, Mommy! Jenna will be good!"

"Bye-bye, Jenna."

"Bye, Mommy."

Heading out, Sherilyn felt a bit dizzy, likely a side effect of the medicine. To be safe, she didn't drive but took a cab to the event.

Her phone buzzed with a message from Gilbert.
