Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 64

A few days later, it was on a Monday. Mondays were Sherilyn's official day off, given how the foot traffic at Neon Nights Bar dwindled to its lowest.

With the day to herself, Sherilyn decided to visit Sylvia, who had been recovering quite well, fully alert, and steadily regaining her strength.

Together with the caregiver, Sherilyn helped Sylvia out of bed and wheeled her to the garden to soak up some sunshine.

"Don't worry," Sylvia assured her with a smile. "As long as I'm here, you are Gilbert's wife and will always be. The title of Mrs. Johnson belongs to you and you alone."
