Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1010

Sherilyn couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, noticing Gilbert was actually smiling amidst the situation. "Aren't you even a bit worried?"

She was genuinely concerned about him!

"Worried? Not really."

Gilbert shook his head, his smile broadening. "It's just the pinky, and on my left hand at that... Even if it never fully heals, it won't really affect much." "What kind of attitude is that?" Sherilyn couldn't help but frown.

"Don't be mad."

Seeing her reaction, Gilbert quickly tried to dial back his humor. "Didn't the doctor say it'll heal?"

"Yeah." Sherilyn sighed softly, advising him, "You need to follow through with the rehab exercises."

"Got it."

With a smile and a nod, Gilbert scooped up Jenna, and they headed out together.

Sherilyn glanced at Gilbert, questioning without words.
