Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 287

Sherilyn’s illness came on quickly but left just as fast. By the afternoon, she was feeling much better.

Rebecca handled her discharge papers. “Are you sure you don’t want to stick around for more observation?”

“This is the observation ward.”

Sherilyn couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve been observed long enough. The doc said I’m good to go as long as I have some meds on hand.”

“Alright then, let’s head out.”

“Let’s. I don’t have much to pack anyway.”

“Sounds good.”

After the paperwork was done, they indulged a bit by taking a cab back to the hotel.

Rebecca mentioned, “Ms. Hansen said your sickness is work–related, so you’ll be covered.”

“Really? That’s great.”

Both of them smiled as they got into the car. The rain was still pouring outside.

Rebecca sighed, “Your getting sick was really out of the blue. You didn’t eat anything strange, did you?”
