Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1018

Suddenly, Gilbert grimaced, his hand flying to his temple.

"Gilbert?"

Sherilyn paused, noticing the pained expression on his face, "What's wrong?"

Was he clutching his head because of a headache?

"Is it a bad headache?"

Not wanting to worry her, Gilbert closed his eyes and shook his head. "It's nothing."

"Should we go to the hospital?" Sherilyn decided on the spot, "Let's go now!"

"No need." Gilbert managed to gather some strength, opened his eyes, and grabbed her hand, offering her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine now." Sherilyn frowned, skeptical, "Does this look like 'fine' to you?"

Do people just get headaches out of nowhere?

"Really, it's nothing."

It wasn't that Gilbert was being stubborn. He pointed to his temple, "It's an old injury."

An old injury from the time he had gone to Switzerland to bring back Caroline. One Harrison had tampered with his car, leading to a severe head injury.

He had been seriously injured then, even spending several days in a coma.

Sherilyn's frown deepened, "Wasn't the surgery successful? And you still get headaches often?"

"Occasionally, not often."

Gilbert tried to lighten the mood with a smile, "I've been keeping up with my check-ups, and every time, the results come back normal." Is that so?

Sherilyn was still not entirely convinced, perhaps she was just being overly anxious?

"Then... since that's the case, let's get out of the car."

"Alright, sure."
