Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



Rebecca White felt a chill run down her spine.

Was her grandfather confused, or had he simply forgotten what Eddy looked like? It seemed he had mistaken Francis for Eddy.

Since getting married, Eddy had never accompanied her back to her family home. It was understandable for her grandfather, with his advancing years, to forget.

"Grandfather..."

Rebecca cast an apologetic glance at Francis, opening her mouth to explain.

But Mr. Galloway was already extending his hand toward Francis, "My grandson-in-law..."

Truth be told, Francis was in a peculiar position.

He realized that Mr. Galloway had mistaken him for Eddy, yet Mr. White had called him 'grandson-in-law.'

Well, he thought, why not go along with it.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise at Rebecca's astonished look, Francis stepped forward and took Mr. Galloway's other hand.

"Granddad, it's me. Rebecca and I came to visit you."

"Is that so...?"

Facing him, Mr. Galloway asked the same question, but with a slightly different meaning.

Francis smiled softly, "Don't worry, granddad. Rebecca and I are doing well. We'll make sure to visit you more often."

Mr. Galloway's confused eyes brightened with joy, and he intertwined their hands together.novelbin

"Good, very good..."

"Grandpa!"

Rebecca burst into tears, apologizing profusely to Mr. Galloway, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I was wrong."

Over the years, she had avoided her grandfather because of her own issues.

Indeed, as Francis had pointed out, the grandfather who had raised her was not like the others!

Sobbing, Rebecca knelt by the bed.

Mr. Galloway's aged eyes welled up with tears, and he gently placed a hand on his granddaughter's head.

"It's okay..."

"Grandpa..." Rebecca choked up, unable to speak.

Leaving the hospital room, Francis handed a tissue to Rebecca. "Here."

"Thank you..." She took it, wiping away her tears and then looked at him sheepishly.

"I'm sorry about my grandpa

mistaking

I you for someone else

thank you for playing along," she

said timidly.

She was worried about her grandfather's recent surgery and didn't want to upset him with her and Eddy's issues.

Francis raised an eyebrow, his voice low, "I wasn't acting. I want to be Mr. White's grandson-in-law."

Rebecca gasped, suddenly looking up to meet his intense gaze.

"Rebecca."

Seizing the moment, Francis took her hand and said slowly, "I mean what I do... Don't you believe me?"

Rebecca was speechless, her lips parting slightly.

"It's okay." Francis smiled softly, "I'll make you believe."

At that moment, Rebecca felt a jolt in her heart!

It was as if an electric current surged through her, causing her to tremble, her defenses crumbling...

...

Two days later, Nolan sent a message saying everything was ready at the South Building.

That afternoon, Gilbert personally escorted Sherilyn and Jenna there.

"You don't have to go."

Sherilyn was concerned, "You're still in the hospital. What if something happens?"

"Nothing will happen."

Gilbert smiled, shaking his head confidently, "I'm always accompanied by bodyguards, it's safe."

Moreover, he picked up Jenna, "Jenna wants me to take her, right?"

"Yes!" Jenna hugged his neck tightly in agreement.

"Alright then." Sherilyn conceded.

"Jenna! Let's go!"

Gilbert, carrying Jenna, led the way out of the hospital, heading towards Blue Haven.

They didn't use the main entrance; the car drove directly through the south gate, across the South

Garden, to the South Buvelme

SUMS

When the car stopped, Gilbert and Sherilyn were momentarily distracted, and Jenna, eager and unrestrained, pushed the car door open and darted out.
