Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 887

Sherilyn's hands gripped the edge of the shoe rack tightly, but it wasn't enough to keep her steady. Losing her balance, she collapsed to the floor. As she slipped into unconsciousness, her only thought was, "Oh no, I've scared Jenna!" "Waaaah... Mommy!"

"What happened?"

Sophia, hearing the commotion, rushed over and was just as frightened. She hurried to Sherilyn's side, and upon seeing her eyes shut tight and her face as pale as a sheet, panic set in. Touching Sherilyn's forehead, she exclaimed, "Oh my! You're burning up! We need to get you to the hospital..."

"Waaaah!"

Understanding the seriousness of her mom's condition, Jenna burst into tears and ran off.

"Jenna?" Sophia was confused. "Where are you going?"

Jenna made her way to the sofa, picked up the landline, and dialed a series of numbers with her little chubby fingers. The call connected, and Gilbert's deep voice came through. "Hello..."

"Mr. Gilbert!" Jenna cried, tears streaming down her face. "Mommy's sick! Mommy fell down! Waaaah..."

This was serious!

Upon hearing the news, Gilbert felt a sudden tightness in his scalp. "Jenna, sweetie, don't cry! I'm on my way!"

"Okay! Please hurry, Mr. Gilbert!"
