Whispers Turn

Chapter 312 

With a soft and tender embrace, Sherilyn hugged Jenna. “No tears, my little treasure. Don’t worry, your mama isn’t going anywhere without you. This time, when I go back to Sunhaven, you’re coming with me. From now on, you and I will never be apart again.” 

“Really?” 

Jenna stopped crying instantly, her big, doe–like eyes sparkling as she looked up at her mother. 

“Is it true, Mom?” 

“Yes, my love, it’s true.” 

Sherilyn, with eyes brimming with tears, gently wiped away Jenna’s tears. Leaving Jenna in Crestwood was primarily for her to await a crucial surgery. Now that all hope was last, there was no reason to leave her daughter behind. 

“Wow!” 

Jenna’s tears tumed into laughter, and she jumped up in excitement. Im going home with Mommy! Being with Mommy is the best!” 

Children don’t dwell on somews; where their mother is, that’s home, that’s safety! 

“My sweet girl. 

Sherlyn lifted Jenna into her arms and pinched her cheeks. “You’ve cried yourself into a little kitten. Let’s wash your face and get ready for bed.” 

“Okay!” 

Gilbert returned to the hospital room, phone in hand, debating whether to call Sherilyn or to check on her at the hotel. 

Then, his phone rang. It was Derek Brooks. 

“Hey, what’s up?” 

“Gilbert” Yates Elliott sounded anxious. “You’re in Crestwood, right? I need a favor… Edgar’s been in an accident. I can’t make it over there right now. Can you check on him for me?” 

Edgar? In an accident? How could that be? Wasn’t he supposed to be with Adela? 

Gilbert’s heart sank. “What happened?” 

“A car crash!” 

Yates, not being there, couldn’t provide many details. “My aunt was in hysterics over the phone, couldn’t make out much, but I’m worried Edgar might not be able to handle this alone.” 

“Alright.” 

Gilbert knew he had to step up when his brother’s in trouble. “Leave it to me. I’m on my way!” 

“Thanks.” 

Gilbert hung up and immediately rushed to the emergency department. Upon arrival, Edgar had already been rushed into surgery. The doctor was speaking with Adela. “Here’s the surgery consent for…” 

“Mrs. Ferguson.” Gilbert hurried over. 

“Mr. Johnson” Adela, distraught, grabbed Gilbert’s arm. “You’re just in time! My Edgar, oh my Edgar 

“Mrs. Ferguson, don’t worry. I’ve got this ” 

“Okay, thank you!” 

After the paperwork was done, Edgar was quickly taken to the surgery room. Gilbert, seeing Adela pacing nervously on the bench, thought of Sherilyn…. Should he let her know? 

A car accident, a surgery. Edgar’s accident was a result of the stress from their situation. If he didn’t make it… Should Sherilyn be here? But, could he really do that? What if Edgar woke up? Could he still separate them? 

After much internal debate, Gilbert finally picked up his phone and dialed Sherilyn’s number 

“Hello?” 

There was a pause before the answer came. Sherilyn didn’t want to answer, but she also wormed he wouldn’t stop calling. “What is it?”

Gilbert steeled himself and told her the truth. “Edgar’s been in a car accident; he’s in surgery now. Do you… want to come?” 

Edgar, Edgar… 

Sherilyn clutched her phone in a panic, forgetting to hang up. She needed to go; how could she not? 

On the other end, Gilbert held the phone with a wry smile. Worried much? She even forgot to hang up..
