Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1231

As Sherilyn changed her clothes, her phone buzzed with a message from Joyce.

[Sherilyn, I told Gilbert about your situation.]

She paused, momentarily surprised. So, he knows now?

Well, so be it.

After stepping out of the bathroom, Sherilyn slipped out of her hospital gown and into her own clothes.

Just then, Candida entered. "Ms. Gomez, the discharge papers are ready. Shall we go?"

"Yes."

Sherilyn nodded. "Let's head home."

If they delayed any longer, Jenna would start looking for her, and that would only make her upset.

On the way back, Sherilyn made a special stop at Crimson Table to pick up Jenna's favorite blueberry cake and some freshly baked custard tarts.

When they arrived at Blue Haven, Jenna was already in her lessons.

Sherilyn lingered quietly at the doorway for a while before turning to the housekeeper. "Put the cake away, please. Bring it out after Jenna's class." "Of course, Ms. Gomez."

The day unfolded in peaceful routine, with Sherilyn spending time by Jenna's side, everything feeling just as it always had.
