Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"What's going on? Is he still the same as yesterday?"

Caroline glanced at Sherilyn, "Maybe you're just exhausted from taking care of Gilbert, Sherilyn. Did you see it wrong? Or maybe, you said it just to cheer Grandma up?" Hearing this, Sylvia's expression darkened, "Sherilyn, is that true?"

"No." Sherilyn shook her head in denial, giving Caroline an exasperated look, "I wasn't the only one who saw it; the nurse did too." "Yes."

The nurse raised her hand slightly, nodding and speaking softly, "Sylvia, I was there. I saw it too. Mr. Gilbert indeed moved." "What about now..."

"Sylvia."

The door to the hospital room opened, and the head doctor came in, "You're here. I was away for a moment, sorry about that." "It's alright." Sylvia hurriedly said, "Please, tell us about Gilbert's condition."

"Sure."

The doctor shared, "I've just examined Mr. Gilbert, and his limbs have shown voluntary movement."

"What does that mean?"

"It means, you can relax, Mr. Gilbert isn't in a vegetative coma."

Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, "That's wonderful."

But her concern remained, "When will he wake up?"

"Sylvia, I can't guarantee that, but Mr. Gilbert is indeed improving. What he needs is more patience and companionship from his family." "Alright."

Sylvia turned, taking Sherilyn by the hand.

"Sherilyn, Grandma was just worried earlier, don't take it to heart. I owe you an apology. I know you've been working hard."

"See, it's necessary for you to be here. Gilbert's gotten much better since you arrived. He knows when you're here." "Grandma, you're exaggerating."

The doctor chuckled, adding, "Sylvia is right, Ms. Gomez. Don't doubt it; you've played an indispensable role."

In the hospital, we've seen too many people hanging on just to wait for someone...

Medicine indeed holds many unexplainable miracles.

"Did you hear that?"

Thus, Sylvia became even more confident in Sherilyn, "Sherilyn, Gilbert is counting on you."

"Grandma, I'll do my best."

Sherilyn nodded, equally wishing for him to wake up.

After Gilbert had his morning treatment, Sylvia and the others left.

Caroline lingered behind, giving Sherilyn a look, "Feeling smug now, are you?"

What? Sherilyn was surprised, meeting her gaze.

"Hmph." Caroline scoffed, "I'd advise you not to be too pleased with yourself. The credit goes to the doctor, not you!" "Oh?"

Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh,

nodding, Yes, I believe so too. But getting mad at me won't help. Why don't you go tell Grandma that? Say it's all the doctor's work, say 'm not needed."

Caroline was left speechless, infuriated by her demeanor!

Ever since Sherilyn entered the Johnson family, becoming their adopted daughter, they've been in constant competition.

Competing for Grandma's affection, vying for the brothers' attention...

But where did it all go wrong?

The girl who used to lose in every aspect now seems to outdo her at every turn.

Why?!

...

Johnson Mansion.

With Gilbert's condition uncertain, Sylvia and the rest had little appetite, opting for a simple meal before

dispersing. Content before. 1.

Sylvia returned to her room, and not long after, Francis left the house.

Caroline watched from her bedroom window as he got into the car, taking Sawyer with him.

Where was he going?

Following him was out of the question. What to do?

Then it hit her, that day at Sunset Ridge Community, he and

were talking about... So Sherilet

District Sanatorium?
