Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 723



Jenna hadn't seen Gilbert all day, and when she finally did, she clung to him like glue, not wanting to let go. "Jenna, it's bedtime. Be a good girl, or mommy will get mad and I won't be able to visit us anymore."

At that, Jenna quickly shut her eyes, "Sleepy time!"

"What a good girl."

Gilbert chuckled under his breath, tucking her in and soothing her to sleep.

When he finally stood to leave, an hour had passed.

Sherilyn was waiting at the door; she was sharing Jenna's room for the night.

As the door opened, she brushed past Gilbert without a glance.

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert caught her arm, trying to explain, "Caroline's been really emotional lately, give it some time..."

"Shh!"

Sherilyn peeked inside, careful not to wake Jenna, and softly closed the door.

Still, her voice was a whisper.

"I don't care about you and your lady's drama, I just want Jenna to be okay."

"Sherilyn?"

Gilbert was puzzled, his brow furrowed.

"I know you don't like Caroline, but... don't you have even a shred of sympathy for her condition?" "No."

Sherilyn didn't hesitate, a smirk playing on her lips. "If you ask me, she's getting what she deserves."

"How can you say that?" Gilbert's handsome face stiffened.

"Feeling sorry for her?"

Sherilyn's eyes sparkled with deeper amusement, "I could say worse. She's finally getting her comeuppance!"

With a flick of her wrist, she broke free from his grasp and pushed the door open to enter.

In that moment, Gilbert was momentarily stunned, unable to hold her back.

Why would Sherilyn say such things? It was no secret in the upscale Sunhaven circles that she and Caroline never got along.

But if anything, it seemed Caroline harbored deeper animosity toward Sherilyn...

That year, it was because of Sherilyn that Caroline lost her child.

Yet, why did Sherilyn look at Caroline with such... deep-seated hatred?

Gilbert closed his eyes, sensing something on the tip of his tongue, yet unable to grasp it.

Sherilyn had no scenes to shoot these next few days.

Her character in the play had limited screen time anyway.

The next morning, she allowed herself to sleep in. Waking up, she found Jenna cuddled against her.

Sherilyn reached out to touch Jenna's feverishly hot cheeks, "Jenna, it's time to..."

She paused mid-sentence.

Why was Jenna so warm?

"Jenna?"

Panic surged within her, but not to o alarm Jenna, she kept her voice soft. "Jenna, wake up,

"...Mama. Morning."

"Good morning, Jenna." Sherilyn had already grabbed a thermometer, checking Jenna's temperature.
