Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 322

Caroline wheeled the chair forward, saying, “Last night at the hospital, Francis didn’t get much rest. So, here we are, back home first thing in the morning. I’ll get him settled in his room for some rest.”

“Ah, alright then.” Sylvia nodded repeatedly, stepping aside to make way. “You both go on then, get some rest.

“Will do, Grandma.” Caroline wheeled Francis upstairs.

Once she had him comfortably settled, she patted his hand gently, “Rest up. I’ll check on you in a bit.”

Yet, Caroline seemed to understand his hesitation.

His chances with Sherilyn were gone…

She clasped his hand in return, softly saying. “Francis, let’s forget the past, shall we? Let’s focus on having a good life from here on out, okay?”

He stared at her face for a long moment before nodding. Yeah, okay.”
