Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 817

The moment Sherilyn laid eyes on the car, she instinctively glanced at the license plate. Sure enough, it belonged to Gilbert.

As the car came to a stop, Gilbert was the first to step out. Seeing her, he paused, his brow furrowing in hesitation. Was he debating whether to greet her? He had promised himself not to 'bother' her anymore...

With a firm resolve, he averted his gaze, silently walking around to the back of the car to retrieve a wheelchair from the trunk. Then, he maneuvered the wheelchair up the steps, through the doorway, and into the foyer, making sure it was securely opened and ready. After that, he went back down the steps to the passenger side of the car. Muttering under his breath, "Careful now, hold tight," he leaned in. "Yeah, got it," came the soft reply.

The next moment, Gilbert emerged carrying Caroline from the car, making his way up the steps with a gentle and steady pace before carefully placing her in the wheelchair. He then fetched a blanket, draping it over her, "It's chilly, don't catch a cold... Wait here for me, I'll go park the car."

"Sure," Caroline chuckled softly, nodding her head.

As Gilbert turned to leave, his eyes fell on Sherilyn's slender figure. The temperature had dropped tonight, and there she was, clad only in a T-shirt. Was she cold? Seeing her arms wrapped around herself, she probably was. But now, he had no right to care... Gilbert looked away, got back into the car, and drove off to the parking area, acting as if Sherilyn was invisible.

Sherilyn glanced at her phone, wondering, Where's Edgar?

"Sherilyn."

Caroline appeared from the foyer, pushing her wheelchair towards her with a smile playing on her lips. "Long time no
