Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 885

"Achoo!"

Back in the quaint Sunset Ridge Community, Sherilyn sneezed unexpectedly as she stepped out of the car.

"Mommy?"

"Sherilyn?"

Gilbert, holding Jenna, looked at her with identical expressions of concern.

"I'm fine," Sherilyn chuckled. It was just a sneeze, nothing to worry about, right?

"The weather's been so erratic lately, switching from warm to cold. I might have caught a chill."

She rummaged through her bag for a face mask, deciding to wear it just in case, to avoid passing anything to Jenna. Gilbert, still worried, furrowed his brow and advised, "You should take some medicine... do we have any at home?" "Yeah, we do," Sherilyn smiled reassuringly, nudging him gently, "Aren't you in a hurry? Don't just stand there, go on up." Once they were settled in their upstairs apartment, Sherilyn urged Gilbert, "It's nearly eleven, you should get going." His phone had been buzzing non-stop during the drive.

"Alright."

Before leaving, Gilbert reminded her, "Don't forget to take your medicine."

Sherilyn paused briefly, then smiled warmly at him, "I know."
