Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



Rebecca White was anything but fragile.

"She..."

Francis furrowed his brows, hesitated, and struggled to speak, "She found out. She's James's mother."

"What?!"

Sherilyn was stunned, shocked, as if a bolt of lightning had struck on a clear day!

What did that mean?

Rebecca White was... James's mother?

Wasn't James supposed to be the elder brother's child? Then... did that mean James was Rebecca White and the elder brother's...?

Did that imply that Rebecca White and the elder brother... they...

Her mind was swirling with too much information! Too many elements!

Nearby, Gilbert looked at Francis, who was already in the know, "Bro, you came clean?"

"No," Francis shook his head, "it was Caroline."

I see.

Gilbert fell silent for a moment, then tried to offer some comfort, "Sooner or later, you had to tell her, bro. You've got to face it."

“Yeah.” Francis nodded, understanding that very well.

"Bro, you..."

Sherilyn looked from Francis to Gilbert, and everything clicked.

"You knew all along?"

"Yes." Gilbert nodded, taking her hand, "This was the elder brother's issue. I couldn't say anything before he told Rebecca White." Sherilyn wasn't blaming him, just surprised.

Also, she couldn't wrap her head around how Rebecca White and the elder brother ended up with James?

"How is Rebecca doing?" Sherilyn looked towards the closed door.

Right now, she wanted to check on Rebecca White first.

Francis replied, "The doctor has already seen her. She was too shocked... but she's awake now."

But he dared not enter, fearing he might upset her further.

Sherilyn understood, "Then I'll go see her."

"Sherilyn." Francis looked at her with gratitude and hope, "Please."

"Alright."

Pushing open the door, Sherilyn walked in.

"Get out..."

As soon as she entered, she heard Rebecca White's voice, trembling and choked with sobs.

"Rebecca."

Sherilyn hurried over and sat beside the bed, "It's me, Rebecca."

"Sherilyn?"

Rebecca White had been lying facing away, but at the sound of her voice, she turned around. Her face wa palecher eyes swollen and brimming with tears.

Seeing Sherilyn, the tears fell, and she sobbed into her embrace.

"Ssh..."

Sherilyn held her, gently stroking hair, not trying to stop the tears, just quietly being there for her. en.kikistories inc

"Sherilyn."

Rebecca White leaned into her, sobbing with a hint of resentment, "Francis... he's the man!"

What?

Sherilyn was slightly taken aback.

It took her a few seconds to grasp the meaning of those words...

"You mean..."

She knew about Rebecca White's situation.

Incredulously guessing, "Is the elder brother... the man from your wedding night?"

"Yes!" Rebecca White nodded, closing her eyes as tears fell heavily.

My God!

One shock after another!

Now, Sherilyn finally understood everything! She looked down at Rebecca White with pity...

No wonder, she was in such tears!

If it weren't for the elder brother, she was supposed to have a happy life with the man she loved...

Sherilyn raised her hand, gently

Francis was anxious, while Gilbert felt helpless.

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Sherilyn emerged, supporting Rebecca White.

"Sherilyn."

The brothers approached together.
