Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"I know." Sherilyn nodded, striving to remain composed as she withdrew her hand from his grasp.

The moment her hand was free, Gilbert's gaze darkened. He stood up and turned to the nurse. "There are cameras in this ward, right? Let's check the footage!"

"We'll need to contact security."

"Then hurry up and do it!"

"Okay!"

A patient disappearing from their VIP room, especially without a trace, was clearly a failure on the hospital's part. After contacting them, the security team immediately accessed the surveillance footage.

The video showed Galen leaving the ward on his own, his coat draped over the hospital gown.

"Here... he's leaving the hospital."

In the footage, Galen was last seen exiting the hospital's main doors and getting into a car.

"Pause!" Gilbert pointed at the screen, "Can you zoom in on that car?"

"Yes, one moment."

As the image of the car enlarged, its license plate became visible.

Gilbert glanced at Charles, who nodded in understanding, "I'll look into it right away."

With the license plate number, finding the car's owner was easy. Charles returned with news, "Mr. Gilbert, that car belongs to Malvina."

"Her car?" At that, Sherilyn sprang up from the sofa, "She's the one who took Galen!"

So, that phone call earlier was all an act!

"She's trying to stop Galen from donating bone marrow to Jenna!"

It was an easy conclusion to reach, and likely the truth. Gilbert closed his eyes in frustration, realizing his oversight. He had only worried about Malvina causing trouble for Sherilyn, never imagining she would target her own son! Understanding this, despair filled Sherilyn's eyes as she shook her head, "Malvina's hidden Galen away! Jenna can't have her surgery now!"

Her voice trembled, choked with emotion. Her Jenna, why did things always go wrong for her? How many times had they been so close, only to miss out by that final step?

"I need to go to the Martin family!" Suddenly, Sherilyn turned and headed for the door.

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert glanced at Charles, "Stay here, call the nurse, and keep watch over Jenna!"

"Will do, Mr. Gilbert!"

Gilbert followed Sherilyn, rushing to the Martin family home. The Martin family estate was closed tight. Before the car even stopped, Sherilyn dashed out, ringing the doorbell. en FindNovel

It took a long while before someone came to answer.

"Who is it at this hour?" It was Malvina, yawning even!

She had the nerve to sleep? If Galen was truly missing, how could Malvina sleep at all? It was clear she

"What do you want? You're not welcome here!"

"Malvina, open the door! Where have you hidden Galen?"

"What Galen? Hidden? I don't know what you're talking about! You better leave now or I'm calling security!"

Then, she turned off the intercom.

"Malvina!?" Desperation clawing at her, Sherilyn pressed the doorbell again without pausing.

"Will you stop, I'm calling securi..."

"Who is it?" It was Farley this time, "Is that... Sherilyn?"

"Farley, don't you dare open that door!"

"What do you mean 'don't'? Sherilyn is my child too!" Farley ignored her, unlocking the door.

The moment the door unlocked, Sherilyn pushed it open and charged inside.

"Sherilyn!" Gilbert followed closely behind, "Slow down! Watch your step!"
