Whispers Turn

Chapter 395 

“Feeling any better?” 

Caroline rested against the headboard, her 

complexion pale, managing a weak smile. “Much better, thanks.” 

“That’s good to hear. Big brother will be here 

soon. Here, have some water.” 

Gilbert picked up the glass from the nightstand, offering it to her with a straw. Caroline didn’t 

even need to lift her hands, just opened her mouth to sip. 

Knock, knock. 

Sherilyn paused, then gave a symbolic knock on 

the door. “Sorry to interrupt.” 

Gilbert remained seated, silent. 

“Sherilyn?” Caroline’s eyes sparkled with recognition, a faint smile on her lips. 

She glanced at Gilbert, signaling him to offer

Sherilyn a seat. 

Gilbert raised an eyebrow stood up, moved aside with his hands in his pockets, still saying nothing. “I’d rather stand.” Sherilyn didn’t look at him, her gaze fixed on Caroline. 

“There are things I need to discuss with you 

alone.” 

Clearly, she was asking Gilbert to leave. 

“Okay.” Caroline’s heart skipped a beat, guessing what Sherilyn might want to discuss. “Gilbert… could you give us a moment?” 

“I’m afraid not.” Gilbert was reluctant. “I promised big brother I wouldn’t leave your side until he 

arrives.” 

Was he worried Sherilyn might hurt Caroline? 

Sherilyn scoffed silently, her gaze turning sharp. “Mr. Gilbert, relax. The room is under 

surveillance. If l’hurt her, just call the cops on 

me.”

Gilbert was taken aback. Was that what he was 

implying? 

Calling the cops on her? If it weren’t for him, 

would she have been released from the station 

so quickly? Was her tracking device just for show? 

Life is fair 

― 

it gave her beauty but apparently 

skipped the brains! 

But he wasn’t going to explain that, especially not in front of others. 

Frustrated, Gilbert snapped without thinking. “Wait for her to get hurt before calling the cops? The law might deal with you, but it can’t undo her 

pain!” 

Sherilyn was momentarily speechless, her expression stiffening. 

Was he dropping all pretenses now? Showing his concern for Caroline so openly! 

Well, it makes sense. Seeing the one you love get hurt, even Mr. Gilbert can’t hide his true feelings.

She realized she couldn’t convince him and turned to Caroline for help. 

Caroline tried to mediate. “Gilbert, it’s okay. 

Sherilyn and I just need to talk. Could you please step outside for a moment?” 

Gilbert frowned, deeply concerned about what they might discuss. 

He had a pretty good idea why Sherilyn was here 

likely to plead for Rebecca. But she was 

barking up the wrong tree; she should be 

appealing to him… 

But he wasn’t in a hurry. He’d wait for her to come to him after hitting a dead end. 

“Fine, I’ll step out.” 

Glancing at his watch, Gilbert noted his brother should be arriving soon. He’d go to meet him. 

Before leaving, he instructed Charles, “Keep an eye on things. If there’s any trouble, rush in.” 

“Don’t worry, Mr. Gilbert.”

With Gilbert gone, the room fell silent. 

Sherilyn heaved a sigh. Caroline’s word indeed held weight over her numerous attempts. 

Turning to Caroline, she got straight to the point. “You know why I’m here, right?” 

Caroline swallowed nervously. 

Sherilyn continued, “The fall, the injury… it was an accident. But let’s be clear, you started this 

mess.” 

“What are you suggesting?” 

The more Caroline heard, the more anxious she This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

became. 

She had been in too much pain at the moment to realize that their little altercation had escalated 

to a police matter!
