Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 904

Every time it happened was after she'd been touched by a man...

When she first started seeing him, she resisted him fiercely... but gradually, it seemed she began to accept him.

And then there was the half-brick.

He had heard about it.

When Sherilyn first returned to Sunhaven, she was hassled by some thugs. She defended herself with half a brick, ended up injuring someone, and got taken to the police station... So, was Sherilyn still carrying that half-brick around with her?

Why?

Gilbert was silent, his brow furrowed in thought.

There seemed to be so much about Sherilyn he didn't know.

Sherilyn didn't stay unconscious for long; twenty minutes later, she groggily came to.

"You awake?"

Opening her eyes, she saw Gilbert's handsome face close to hers.

"How are you feeling?" Gilbert asked, holding her hand with a gentle smile.

Sherilyn checked herself over, then shook her head, "I'm okay... just a bit of a sore neck."

That was from Gilbert knocking her out earlier.

By now, she remembered everything.

Her eyes sparkled, "That reporter... he was following me. He was acting all sneaky, I got it wrong. How is he?"
