Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 756

"Hmm."

After ending the call, Sherilyn closed her eyes, tears gently rolling down her cheeks. She whispered a silent prayer for her daughter Jenna, hoping the good fortune mentioned on the phone would truly bring a new beginning to her life. Wiping away her tears, she took a moment to freshen up in the bathroom before heading back to the hospital room.

Gilbert had been waiting so long that his impatience was almost palpable. "What took you so long? Did the film crew call you back?"

"No."

Sherilyn shook her head as she sat down beside his bed. "I'm off today, so there's no need to go to the set."

"So, you mean you can spend the whole day with me?"

The hope in his eyes was nearly overflowing.

Sherilyn hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes, I can."

"That's wonderful."

Gilbert smiled, taking her hand warmly into his, "Sherilyn, you're amazing."

Sherilyn just gave him a gentle smile, not saying a word.
