"Caroline..."
"Don't try to convinceotherwise."
Shaking her head with a smile, Caroline continued, "You're not Mr. Gilbert of the Johnson family, and I'm not part
of the Johnson household either. Francis and | have broken up. It's not right forto stay at the Johnson's
anymore." Gilbert fell silent, unsure of what to say.
"Con, eat up."
Caroline smiled as she served him sfood. "Is it not to your liking? Has my cooking gotten worse?"
"Not at all," Gilbert shook his head, picking up his fork. "It tastes great."
Caroline beamed, "Then you better eat up."

By the tthey arrived, the doctor was already waiting.
After seeing her into her therapy session and returning next door, Gilbert received a call from Francis.

Today, Sherilyn visited the Southern District Sanatorium.
She'd been busy with a film shoot recently and hadn't found much tto visit Rebecca White.
Rebecca White was still staying in her usual suite, with a bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. The outer petals

"They're beautiful," Sherilyn couldn't help but admire.
"Are they beautiful?" Rebecca White, who was blind, asked, "They do smell nice, not too overpowering."
"Of course..." Sherilyn smiled, lowering her voice, "Did the guy next door send these?"
Rebecca White blinked, "How did you know?"

Sherilyn chuckled to herself; her
brother really knew how to play it cool... He hadn't even revealed his identity to Rebecca White yet.

stopped mid-sentence, stunned.
