Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 700

Sherilyn was taken aback by his forthrightness.

"Stop overthinking it."

Edgar's profile was striking, his smile tinged with a hint of resignation. "I did save you, but I haven't forgotten what you told me before. I understand your concerns."

He paused, sighing. "Don't feel burdened. The things my mom did to you before... I owe you for that. Saving you this time, let's call it even. How about that?"

He spoke of his lifesaving act as if it were nothing.

Such a golden opportunity, yet he didn't exploit the situation to his advantage!

But that's Edgar for you - straightforward and upright.

"...Alright." Sherilyn nodded, her voice a raspy whisper, a smile flickering across her lips.

"Oh." Sherilyn seemed to remember something, pointing to Edgar's arm. "How's your arm?"

"It's a minor injury."

Edgar lifted his arm, rolling up his sleeve to show her. "No damage to the bone, just can't get it wet for a few days, needs regular dressing changes, and I have to watch my diet. Quite the hassle." Hearing this, Sherilyn frowned. "Don't underestimate it, or it could get infected, and that would be bad."

"Yeah." Edgar saw her serious expression and couldn't help but smile. "I'll be careful."

He lowered his arm, checking the time. "I need to head to the office."

"Okay." Sherilyn felt even more apologetic, urging him, "You should get going."

How much of his time had she taken up?
