Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

“Yes.” 

William didn’t beat around the bush. He had seen the struggles Sherilyn had faced over 

the years. 

“Jenna got the spot, she’s on the list!” 

Sherilyn froze, her eyes quickly filling with tears and turning red. 

She fought to control herself, managing not to burst into tears. “Oh my… Thank you, Dr. William. 

Overwhelmed, she hardly knew what to say. 

“Why thank me?” William smiled. “I haven’t done much. You’re the one who’s been working hard. Now, after the surgery, Jenna won’t have to suffer anymore.” 

“Yeah, that’s true.” 

“By the way.” 

William reminded her, “About the finances, you need to get the surgery cost sorted out as soon as possible.” 

Hearing this, Sherilyn’s heart skipped a beat. 

Her smile froze on her face. Yes, the daunting challenge of the surgery bill! 

Sherilyn stumbled over her words, “About how much… will it be?” 

“About $500,000,” William gave her the figure. 

So much! 

Sherilyn sort of expected that amount. She had been saving up carefully. 

But as a single mom, supporting herself and her child was challenging enough, let alone Jenna’s medical expenses, which were a significant monthly burden. 

Despite her frugality, her savings were far from sufficient. 

William had some understanding of her financial situation, “Jenna’s mom, please hurry. It could be as soon as two months, or at most six months before we need to operate.” 

As a doctor, there was only so much he could do. 

“Okay, I understand.” 

After hanging up, Sherilyn felt a mix of joy and sorrow. 

No matter what, there was hope for her child! As for the money… two months, six months. 

How could she gather such a large sum in such a short time? 

During her busy moments, Sherilyn didn’t forget to visit Sylvia at the Southern District Sanatorium. 

Sylvia was getting better by the day. 

“Sherilyn, you’re here.” Sylvia’s spirit seemed much improved, her cheeks rosier. 

When Sherilyn arrived, Gilbert was also there. 

This was their first meeting since that night at the Neon Nights Bar. 

“Please, have a seat.” 

Sylvia took her hand, smiling. “I’m much better now. I’ll be able to go home soon. You’ve been worried.” 

“It’s nothing…” 

“Nothing? Look at you, how much weight you’ve lost?” 

Sylvia examined her, “How long since you’ve been back to Sunhaven? You’ve lost so much weight.” 

Hearing this, Gilbert paused.
