Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 851

Sherilyn's eyes were tightly shut.

Memories of those four years in Crestwood haunted her like a nightmare, clinging to her even now! Emotions long suppressed burst forth like a dam breaking, tears silently streaming down her face. "I hate you, I truly do..."

"Hate that you married without love, hate your four years of silence..."

Her feelings mixed with her tears, sour and swelling.

Sherilyn struggled to lift her head, staring at Gilbert's unconscious profile, her voice deep and hoarse.

"I asked myself..."

She took a deep breath, recounting every detail.

"Without you, could I have walked away from the explosion in Crestwood unscathed?"

"Would I still be under investigation, fighting a lawsuit with Yuna?"

"Would Galen have returned safely to Elizabeth this time? Could Jenna's surgery go ahead as planned...?"

Her voice broke with every word, choked with emotion.

"Gilbert, I believed in you, believed you were good for Jenna, good for me... It's true, I believed in you..."

Sherilyn inhaled sharply, trying to hold back her tears.

"Dr. Neil said Jenna's surgery would go ahead as planned... Once Jenna is safely out of the OR, once you wake up, I, I..."

She swallowed her sobs, slowly continuing.
