Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 980

Grandma White was out of the woods, but she wasn't quite ready to leave the hospital just yet. She needed more time to recuperate within its walls.

But, Rebecca couldn't shake off her lingering worries. "What if she comes back again?"

"It won't happen."

Frank shook his head with assurance. "I dropped the ball last time, but I've got someone on watch now. If there's even a whisper of movement from her, I'll know about it right away." His voice softened, "And with little Jimmy throwing a tantrum every day, I'm gonna need your help a bit longer. Is that okay?"

Rebecca bit her lip, silent. She wasn't naive.

She could sense this was Frank's stopgap solution.

But she couldn't bear the thought of leaving little Jimmy either...

After a moment of inner turmoil, she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but..."

Her expression was serious, "Please, Mr. Johnson, find a replacement tutor as soon as possible. According to the company's resignation policy, one month should be enough." One month?

Frank raised an eyebrow slightly, "Alright."

That's what he said for now. As for one month... well, that was a bridge to be crossed later.

Rebecca didn't catch the hidden thoughts behind his agreement. Seeing him comply, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you waiting for?"

Frank glanced at her, urging her on, "Aren't you leaving?"
