Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?
Chapter 427

"Okay!"

Cold sweat broke out on Gilbert's forehead as his brow twitched in worry. "We're heading to the hospital now! Don't worry, nothing will happen to you, I won't let anything happen!"

As they got into the car, his subordinate took the wheel.

Gilbert immediately grabbed his phone and called Charles.

"Tell them to get ready, a surgeon, and an orthopedist..."

"Obstetrics and gynecology!" Sherilyn clutched his sleeve, blurting out these words unexpectedly.

"What?" Gilbert was taken aback, almost thinking he was seeing things. "Sherilyn... what did you just say?"

The situation was urgent, and Sherilyn felt the need to reveal the truth.

But if she kept hiding it, she feared for the baby inside her.

She knew this action was risky because Gilbert probably didn't want the baby.

But she had no other choice at this moment.

Clutching his sleeve, her eyes reddened as she pleaded.

"Gilbert, please... save my baby! I know you don't want it, but it's mine alone. I'll raise it by myself, I promise not to be a bother! Please, I beg you. Ah..."

She clutched her belly as she spoke.

Her complexion grew paler, signaling trouble for her baby...

At that moment, Gilbert had fully grasped the gravity of her words.

He hadn't misheard; Sherilyn was pregnant! They were going to have a baby!

Gilbert snapped into the phone. "Did you hear me? Obstetrician! Get an obstetrician!"

"Yes, Mr. Gilbert."

After hanging up, Gilbert raised his hands, hesitated, and then gently placed them on Sherilyn's belly.

Sherilyn was already leaning against him, and this gesture brought her into his embrace.

Gilbert marveled at the thought that under his palms, inside Sherilyn's belly, was their child!

He was holding his loved one and their flesh and blood.

How miraculous.

Gilbert's heart raced, trembling with excitement.

He had lived a life far from dull, but no moment had ever thrilled him like this.

He kissed Sherilyn's forehead, still in disbelief, "Is it true? Really true?"

Sherilyn couldn't see his face, but his tone sounded odd. Was he... happy?

She didn't answer, and Gilbert didn't mind, lost in his excitement.

He kissed her again, "When did you replace out? Why didn't you tell me?"

He rambled on, "I heard the first three months of pregnancy are crucial, you must be very careful..."

But Sherilyn had just been through a kidnapping!

"Damn it!"

Gilbert's eyes narrowed with hatred, his tone both cold and harsh, "Those two, we must replace them. They can't be let off easily!"

Hearing this, Sherilyn was even more confused. Did he... really care about this baby? But why?

"Right!"

Gilbert suddenly remembered, "What did you say earlier? You think I don't want this child?"

His expression hardened, and he frowned at the person in his arms. "Why would you say that? Did you ask me? Did I ever tell you that?" Sherilyn didn't know how to explain.

"Ugh..."

The pain in her belly intensified, so she closed her eyes, choosing not to speak or explain.

"You..." Gilbert looked at her with a mix of heartache and helplessness, holding her close and kissing her sweat-dampened forehead.
