Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"Sir," Nolan responded promptly at the sound of his name, stepping forward immediately.

Naylor pointed towards Gilbert. "From this moment on, you will take orders from Mr. Nine. I expect you to follow his instructions to the letter, do you understand?"

"Understood."

Without questioning, Nolan turned to Gilbert, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Nine, what are your instructions?"

The title "Mr. Nine" now carried a different weight than it did before.

Gilbert nodded slightly. "I need to find someone... You have two days to locate them, no exceptions!"

The Hospital.

The weather was gloomy today, with a fine drizzle casting a somber mood over everything.

Sherilyn was carrying Jenna, following the nurse through the hospital for more tests.

"Mommy?"

Jenna, small and puzzled, voiced her confusion.

"Where's Mr. Gilbert?"

Sherilyn felt a pang in her heart but managed to smile, "Mr. Gilbert is busy today and can't be with Jenna. Is it okay if Mommy stays with you?"

"Oh..."

Jenna pouted, clearly disappointed. "But Mr. Gilbert said he would be with Jenna these days."

Mr. Gilbert didn't keep his promise!

Her big eyes blinked. "What about Uncle? Is he going for his check-up too?"

The question was like a knife to Sherilyn's heart.

"Uncle..." She managed to hold back the tears, trying not to let her daughter notice. "Uncle already had his check-up done. He doesn't need one today."

"I see." Jenna nodded, envious. "That's nice."

"Be a good girl, Jenna."

Sherilyn carried Jenna into the examination room. "We have two more tests, just hang in there a little longer."

"Okay."

By noon, Jenna had completed all her tests, eaten lunch, and fallen asleep. Sophia was keeping an eye on her. Sherilyn changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and left the hospital room.

Farley hadn't called her yet, and she couldn't just wait around...

Leaving the hospital, Sherilyn headed to the Martins'.

She didn't burst through the Martins' door as she had the night before. She knew pleading with them was pointless.

Malvina wouldn't relent.

Sherilyn arrived at the Martins' doorstep and waited in the shadows.

She thought, if Malvina had hidden Galen somewhere, would she go to see him? Even if there was a slim chance, following Malvina might lead to a glimmer of hope! Afraid of being noticed, Sherilyn didn't drive. She just stood there, umbrella in hand. Finally, after an hour of waiting, the gate opened, and Malvina walked out...

Hospital, 6 PM.

Edgar, having finished his work, came to check in as usual.

But to his surprise, Sherilyn wasn't there.

"Where's Sherilyn?"

Edgar was taken aback by the news!

Where could Sherilyn be now, and how could she not be devastated?

"Where did she go?"

Sophia knew. Sherilyn had informed her before leaving. "She went to the Martins'." "Do you have the address?"

"Yes."

"Give it to me!"NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Okay!"

After getting the address, Edgar hurried to the Martins'.

He had just left when Gilbert arrived.

Not finding Sherilyn, he asked the same questions.

Sophia sighed and gave the same explanation.

"Understood!" Gilbert didn't waste a moment and left. "Take good care of Jenna!"

Gilbert arrived at the Martins' but neither Sherilyn nor Edgar was there.

He was about to call Sherilyn when he saw a car approaching. He quickly stepped aside, hiding.
