Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

That day, in Sylvia's hospital room, she smiled at Yates like that. Then, Gilbert only glimpsed her profile, but Yates saw quite the scene.

When seeing her in such a dazed state, Gilbert's gaze darkened as he stared at her for seconds. "Do you know who I am?"

Could it be that she mistook him for Yates and smiled at him? Right, it was also Yates who brought her back. With that thought, his handsome face clouded over even more.

"You?" However, Sherilyn looked at Gilbert's gloomy, handsome face and chuckled softly. "I know who you are. You're Gilbert Johnson, Gil,"

Instantly, Gilbert felt a lump in his throat, his eyes reflecting her rosy, radiant cheeks.

She was drunk. Otherwise, she wouldn't call Gilbert 'Gil'. That nickname was what she used when she first arrived at the Johnson family.

"No!" As his arm stretched toward her, Sherilyn showed that wary look again, shaking her head in refusal. "Don't touch me!"

"Hey." Yates couldn't help but laugh at that. "Sherilyn's got her guard up pretty high. She knows not to let a man touch her even when drunk."
