Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?
Chapter 1021

Sherilyn suddenly stood up, "You're awake?"

"Yeah."

Gilbert nodded, having just been wheeled into the hospital room, he was now fully conscious.

"How do you feel? Does your head still hurt?" Sherilyn furrowed her brows, her gaze filled with concern as she scrutinized his face.

At the moment, he looked no different from his usual self.

Gilbert shook his head, pausing to assess his condition, "I don't feel anything out of the ordinary..."

He knew he had passed out earlier.

Before losing consciousness, he had experienced a severe headache.

And now, he found himself in a hospital.

He had caught bits and pieces of what the doctor said earlier.

Glancing at the x-ray images on the viewer, he had a pretty good guess of what was going on.

With a light frown and a smirk, he eyed Naylor, "Was this the handiwork of your eldest?"

Naylor closed his eyes, offering no defense.

Hmph.

Gilbert scoffed softly, closing his eyes as his Adam's apple bobbed.

He wasn't one to wallow in self-pity, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

His life...

From the day he was born, nothing ever went smoothly!

His mother went mad, his father despised him... After finally escaping the clutches of the Harrison family, he ended up jumping from the frying pan into the fire...

Upon joining the Johnson family, life improved, but every step he took was not for himself.

Returning to the Harrison family only meant facing one crisis after another! Not a moment could he let his guard down.

His life was an endless struggle! Exhausted and riddled with wounds!

Such a life was hardly worth clinging to.

But...

Gilbert opened his eyes, his gaze firmly fixed on Sherilyn. In this world, he had something to hold onto...

He had Sherilyn, and they had Jenna!

He couldn't bear to leave them!

"Sherilyn."

Adjusting his mood, he spoke again, still in a carefree manner, "The doctor mentioned two options earlier, you pick one for me? Whichever you choose, I'm good with it."

"Gilbert!" Sherilyn frowned deeply, her eyes shimmering with anger, "Be serious for once!"

Always with that jesting demeanor, was this something to be taken lightly?

"...Alright."

Gilbert tensed, immediately dropping his smile.

His expression sobered, he turned to Naylor, his voice grave, "Let's go with the conservative treatment then." Naylor understood, this was a discussion with him.

He nodded, "I agree."

Gilbert shifted his gaze back to Sherilyn, offering a half-smile, seeking her opinion, "Sherilyn, what do you think?" "..." Sherilyn, still frowning, nodded. "Yeah."

"Alright then."

With that, Gilbert gave the go-ahead, turning to the chief physician, "We'll leave the specifics up to you."

"Mr. Harrison, you're too kind."

The chief physician responded, "With

conservative treatment, our hospital

is well-known for integrating

Western and Eastern medical

practices. I'll immediately arrange a consultation... to devise a detailed treatment plan-"

Late into the night, an urgent consultation took place.

The treatment plan was discussed and established.

"Here's the plan..."

After the consultation, the chief physician explained everything in detail.

"Mr. Harrison, Mr. Harrison, Ms. Gomez... I hope I've made everything clear? Do any of you have any questions?"

Naylor didn't respond, instead, he looked at Sherilyn, "Did you get all that?"

"Tch."

Gilbert clicked his tongue in irritation, "It's my own health; I'll remember."

"..." Naylor was momentarily speechless. Who was he doing this for?

But then, he owed his son, how could he expect any friendliness in return?

The chief physician continued, "Let me remind you of a couple of things. During the treatment period, it's crucial to take your medication on time, attend hospital check-ups as scheduled, and..." FindNovel

"Your diet must be carefully monitored as well. We'll provide a cookbook, take it home, and instruct your chef to follow it closely."
