Whispers Turn

What? At that moment, Gilbert was utterly stunned 

Licking his dry lips, he muttered, “Grandma, where’s her grandmother’s grave again?” 

“You’ve been there yourself. Haven’t you forgotten? It’s at Wind Bridge.. 

Oh no! Gilbert frowned deeply, closing his eyes momentanly. Wind Bridge! So Sherlyn hadn’t lied to him. She did go to Wind Bridge. She went to visit her grandmother’s grave 

Sylvia was on the line. “Gilbert, Gilbert? Did you hear me?” 

Gilbert replied. “Yes, Grandma” 

“Ah.” Sylvia sighed, “Sherilyn used to be a bit spoiled, but she was a kid then, wasn’t she? I think she’s matured a lot since she returned. She’s all alone now. She has no one else but us. Be nicer to her, will you?” 

“Grandma, something urgent came up, I gotta go As he reached the emergency room, Gilbert humedly ended the call and stepped in to find Sherlyn 

Pulling back the curtain, he froze. The bed was empty, with no sign of Sherilyn anywhere. 

“Where is she?” Gilbert inquired about Sherilyn with the nurse 

The nurse looked bewildered. “Your gidfriend said shed wait outside for you! Didn’t you see her?” 

Huh. Gilbert gave an icy smile. If he had actually seen her, would he even need to ask? 

He snapped, “She’s a patient an unconscious one at that! And you just let her leave like that? Your hospital will be in big trouble if anything happens to her” 

The nurse was nearly in tears. 

As Gilbert walked out, he dialed Sherilyn, but she didn’t pick up Was she mad, deliberately ignoring his calls? Or had she fainted again, not hearing the ring? 

With no other option left, Gilbert decided to head back to Golden Oak Manor to see if she had returned there 

On the way, he called Charles “It’s me” 

Charles answered respectfully “Mr. Gilbert, what can I do for you?” 

Gilbert ordered, “Check if any accidents happened near Wind Bridge today” 

“Oh, that” Charles replied promptly. “No need to check. I’m aware of that. An overpass near V team is still clearing the scene” 

That explained it 

Gilbert closed his eyes briefly, unable to hide his frustration. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Sherlyn hadn’t lied. She got stuck at Wind Bridge. So, how did she make it to the town hall? 

Wind Bndge collapsed today. The rescue 

He recalled his words, “Even if you have to crawl, you need to get here” And thinking of her, drenched and covered in mud, crawled her way there? 

Suddenly, Gilbert gripped the steering wheel tighter, his jaw clenched. He might not like her, but he never that! He stepped on the gas, speeding toward Golden Dak Manor

Upon arrival, the living room lights were on. Gilbert strode in quickly. The couch was empty. Sherlyn hadn’t returned. Where could she be then?

Footsteps sounded, and he looked up to see Sherilyn in fresh clo that mattered 

Gilbert let out a relieved sigh, but his face stayed stem and his voice was still sharp 

“Sherlyn, how old are you? Couldn’t you have at least told me you were leaving? Had me searching everywhere for you, you think that’s funny?” 

Sherlyn ignored him. She was exhausted, not wanting to utter a word to him 

Hed search the world for her? Ridiculous! He wouldnt spare her agrance even if she were right under his nose 

Without another glance, she walked to the couch, spread a blanket, and laid down, turning her back to him: She had a show at cine lo the evening and needed to rest
