Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



Sherilyn's eyes flickered with shock.

Even though she knew Gilbert had made a huge sacrifice... But to say it was her fault? That was just nonsense. "Ha."

Naylor chuckled dismissively, continuing on his own narrative.

"I've always said, trouble comes with pretty faces... but he wouldn't listen. Well..."

He turned his gaze towards Sherilyn.

"If you weren't stirring things up, how could you be considered trouble, right?"

"Mr. Harrison..." Sherilyn furrowed her brows, trying to argue.

"But what can you do?"

Naylor ignored her protest. "He just can't let you go, and that's fine. After all, everyone has their obsessions in life, no?"

Huh? Sherilyn blinked in confusion, what was he implying?

"Since he's so hung up on you, you better stay by his side from now on."

What? Sherilyn was taken aback, her head snapping up.

Naylor stood up, a sly smile playing on his lips, "Do you have any idea how busy Nine is on a daily basis? If you can't help him, at least don't cause him more trouble."

He said, "At my age, having a son like him is all I've got. If you can keep it together, keep him happy, I might just tolerate you. Otherwise... well, you better think hard about your next steps!"

With that, he turned and left.

Sherilyn sat alone on the bench, trying to digest Naylor's words... her fists clenched tightly!

Two hours later.

The surgery was over.

"Doctor." Naylor led the way, "How's my son?"

"Mr. Harrison, don't worry."

The doctor said, "He was brought in on time, and the severed finger was well preserved. Since it was a clean cut, the wound was neat..." "Cut to the chase!" Naylor interjected impatiently.

"Right." The doctor nodded hastily, "We've reattached the finger, but..."

"But what?"

"It's too early to say if it will fully recover. We'll need to monitor the blood flow over the next 7 to 10 days. To be safe, the first 15 days post-surgery are critical." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

After the doctor finished, the room fell silent.

Naylor glanced at Sherilyn, his gaze unreadable, "Heard that?"

"Yes." Sherilyn felt a heavy weight in her chest, nodding.

"From now on."

Naylor commanded, "You stay by his side! The moment he opens his eyes, he needs to see you. Got it?"

"Yes." Sherilyn frowned, her emotions churning, but she didn't refuse.

She couldn't refuse under these circumstances.

Later, Gilbert was moved to a regular room, and Naylor left without waiting for him to wake up.

Leaving Sherilyn alone.

She actually felt relieved and called Charles.

"It's me. Gilbert's been moved to a room. Can you bring Jenna over? It would be good to have father and daughter together in case Jenna wakes up restless. I can take care of both." ,

"Sure, I'll handle it."

Charles quickly arranged everything, and Nolan came to receive Jenna when Charles arrived with her. "Here we go!"

Nolan grinned, taking the still sleeping Jenna into his arms, "Let me hold Miss Jenna for a while." Charles asked, "How's Mr. Nine?"

"In there, with Ms. Gomez."

Nolan smirked, lowering his voice,

"The old man's given his blessing. If all goes well, Ms. Gomez here, she's going to be Mrs. Katy Harrison!"
