Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 796

Outside the hospital room, Sherilyn stood watch, feeling somewhat out of place after the tense moment that had just unfolded.

"Hey, big brother," she greeted Francis as he emerged, his face etched with concern. "Did you two have a fight?"

Francis managed a wry smile. "You were right, Sherilyn. I couldn't bring myself to be honest with her, and now we're in the worst possible situation." Sherilyn felt at a loss for words.

"You should go in," Francis suggested, nodding towards the room. "Let me know if she needs anything."

"Will do, big brother," Sherilyn replied, nodding before she stepped inside the room.

Inside, Rebecca White was fumbling to get back into her hospital bed.

"Rebecca," Sherilyn approached, helping her settle comfortably. "How are you holding up?"

Rebecca paused and then offered a small smile. "I'm okay, just a bit of a mess up here," she said, tapping her temple lightly.

Then, looking towards Sherilyn, she added, "You knew, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Sherilyn admitted with a nod, her tone apologetic. "I'm sorry, Rebecca. Even though it was my brother's request, I did help to keep things from you."
