Chapter 665 Caroline's eyes were rimmed with red, tears streaming down her face.

"How can someone's heart change so fast?" "Caroline..." Gilbert frowned as he watched her, caught in a tough spot, "You know, before you went to Switzerland, my brother really wasn't interested in Rebecca White." His brother had always been disciplined and rational when it cto emotions.

In his view, his brother dealt with relationships in a very black-and-white manner - what should and shouldn't be done.

Gilbert continued, "Even now, I believe my brother's involvement with Rebecca White is out of a sense of duty and guilt. He sees taking care of Rebecca White as his responsibility." Caroline let out a hollow laugh, lost in thought for a few seconds, "He said the sthing. So, it was me... I pushed him away..." She closed her eyes tightly, and tears fell.

Bowing her head, she rested her forehead on Gilbert's shoulder.

Gilbert froze, unsure of what to do or say next.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up to see Sherilyn coming out.

"Sherilyn..." He started to speak, but his phone rang in his pocket.

"Caroline." Gilbert took a step back to answer his phone, distancing himself from Caroline. "It's Grandma's call." He swiped the screen to answer, "Hello, Grandma..." It was Sylvia, wondering where they all were.

"What's going on? Your brother hasn't chome, and neither have you." "Grandma, we're on our way back now... Yes, with my brother." Sherilyn had already moved towards the door. Gilbert quickly hung up and followed her.

"Grandma, gotta go!" "Sherilyn!" Putting away his phone, Gilbert caught up with Sherilyn. "You're heading back, aren't you? Letgive you a lift!" Tonight was Valentine's Day, and she definitely wanted to get back to Jenna.

"No need." Sherilyn shook her head, refusing.

Her face showed no sign of anger, "I can ho get back on my own. It's the , and Grandma Snét you back home." "It's fine, my brother still isn't ready..." "Really, no need." for Sherilyn looked at him with a hint of helplessness, "Aren't you visiting Jenna early tomorrow? I'll have breakfast ready. See you in the morning?" With her words, Gilbert's expression softened, and a smile spread across his face, "Okay." But he insisted, "I'll arrange for someone to drive you home. Callwhen you get back." Sherilyn agreed.

The Southern District Sanatorium was remote, and being a holiday, it was hard to get a ride.

Gilbert arranged for a car to take her home, sending Sherilyn off with a wave.

"See you in the morning." "Mhm." Sherilyn smiled softly, her eyes darkening with thought...

There were things she needed to discuss with Gilbert.

The next morning.

Just past seven, Gilbert arrived, Sherilyn opening the door for him. "Sherilyn, morning." Gilbert wore a black cashmere beanie, covering his bald head.

In his hands, he carried a small box, "It's a bunny lantern for Jenna. We'll assemble it together later." He walked in as he spoke.

"I don't have to focus on work for a while, so I can spend twith Jenna." He sat down on the couch with a flourish, lowering his voice, "Jenna's still asleep, right?"

"Not yet." Sherilyn nodded, sitting opposite him. "You're earlyat's just past seven... Anyway..." She looked him in the eye, "I need to talk to you about something." "What is it?" Gilbert, still smiling, was oblivious to the 'danger' approaching.

"Go on."

"Well..." Sherilyn bit her lip, her voice soft, "When you have time, could you maybe visit the hospital? Not right now of course, wait until you're feeling better." "What do you mean?" Gilbert was confused, his smile fading slightly, "Visit the hospital for what?"
