Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 692

Gilbert felt a jolt run through him, his nerves tightening like ropes pulled taut over a blazing fire.

His face said it all.

"Of course!"

Edgar, suddenly fueled by a surge of emotion, charged at Gilbert, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded, his voice thundering with accusation.

"You think you're better than me? But what have you done that's so great, huh? You still put her in danger, didn't you?"

The image of Sherilyn trapped in a blaze haunted Edgar.

"Do you have any idea? It was so close! If I had been any later, Sherilyn could have been crushed or burned alive!" Gilbert's eyes froze, his body rigid.

He hadn't witnessed the scene himself, but the mere thought was enough to make his blood boil and his soul tremble in fear!

"Even now!"

Edgar scoffed, his heart aching, "Can you guarantee Sherilyn is safe now? What if she has lasting damage?"

Physical or emotional!

Edgar's voice grew louder and more furious, "Sherilyn suffered because of you. Where were you when she needed you most? Weren't you the one who claimed to be invincible? Where were you when it mattered?" Gilbert's lips parted slightly, but no words came out.

His face was a mask of stoic coldness.
