After she had been given some water, the nurse helped Sherilyn to lie back down and tucked her in before leaving the room.

When he finally spoke, his voice was choked, "Sherilyn, I'm so sorry."

He had been such a fool! All because of jealousy, he had deliberately ignored her calls!

Gilbert shuddered at the thought, overwhelmed by a wave of relief and fear.
