Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1123

Rebecca White glanced at Selina, who was clearly waiting for some drama to unfold, and shook her head with a calm demeanor.

"He's busy," she said, keeping it short and sweet.

Seeing his granddaughter in a bit of a tight spot, Grandpa Galloway chimed in, "Well, Mr. Johnson runs a huge corporation, he must be quite busy."

"True enough," Selina replied with a slight smile. "However, if he really valued you, Rebecca, he should've been here for such an important day."

Her implication was clear: she was questioning the seriousness of Francis and Rebecca's relationship, suggesting that Francis didn't really care about Rebecca.

Rebecca White paused for a moment, smirking slightly to herself. She knew what Selina was getting at, but she didn't feel the need to explain anything to her cousin.

"Are we all packed up?" Rebecca asked. "If so, let's head downstairs. I'll call for a cab..."

Kearney and the rest had driven over, but there was no way they'd all fit with her included.

Just then, there was a knock at the open hospital room door.

Standing there, just as last time, was Francis. He hadn't even lowered his hand from knocking when he caught sight of Rebecca White and offered her a smile. But his first words were directed at Galloway.

"Grandpa, sorry I'm late."
