Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 760

Gilbert's eyes were dark and bloodshot, with fine lines etched into them like cracks on a parched desert floor.

"Is it because I'm an impostor that you despise me, that you look down on me? Is that it?" His voice was a mix of despair and vulnerability.

Sherilyn watched him with furrowed brows, clearly seeing his inner turmoil. Perhaps admitting the truth, allowing him to let go of hope, might actually be a kindness.

She took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, you're right! Uh..." Before she could finish, a sharp pain shot through her jaw, as if he had crushed it with his grip!

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert was oblivious, lost in his own world of sorrow and despair, his gaze fierce and wild. "You! Well, aren't you something!"

Tears suddenly spilled from the corners of his bloodshot eyes. Sherilyn paused, taken aback. Was he... crying?

"Ha! Haha..." Gilbert burst into crazed laughter, "How could you do this to me? I thought, I thought..."...you were different!
