Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1133

Departure was imminent.

Watching Rebecca White's furrowed brow, Francis felt a mix of reluctance and a subtle, unbidden happiness.

"I'll be back soon, I promise. I'll try to make it before your next treatment. Just wait for me, okay?"

But Rebecca White was worried about something else entirely.

"What about James when you're gone?"

The Johnson family had house staff, but they weren't family, after all.

Francis had thought about this too.

"I've talked to Gilbert. I've asked him and Sherilyn to look after James for a while..."

He glanced at Rebecca White's face and squeezed her hand gently.

"He's not staying with you because, well, you're still undergoing treatment." "Yeah," Rebecca White nodded, understanding. "I know."

She smiled lightly, "I guess Mr. Harrison and Sherilyn won't mind. Plus, Jenna is there. James really likes having her around, they'll keep each other company."

"That's exactly what I thought."
