Whispers Turn

Chapter 497

Rebecca and Eddy fell in love in the prime of their youth. They were the epitome of a perfect couple, envied by those around them for their matching intellects and looks. Their families were well–matched in social status, and both sets of parents were eager to see

them wed.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Rebecca had imagined a simple life ahead – getting married, having children, and living an ordinary life together.

However, on her wedding day, fate played a cruel joke on her.

The night of the wedding, Rebecca and her ‘beloved‘ became intimately entwined…

When dawn broke, the doors to the bridal suite were violently flung open!

At that moment, Rebecca lay in bed, her body barely covered, the room bearing the evidence of the night’s passion…

The torn wedding dress, the stained sheets, and the lingering scent of intimacy…

It was clear that the night had been intense.

Rebecca could never forget the look of disgust on Eddy’s face as he stared at her.

“Rebecca! You’re filthy!”

Rebecca was dumbfounded.

She realized that on her wedding night, she had slept with a stranger…

She didn’t even know who the man was! Before she woke up, the man had left her behind and disappeared!

Afterwards, Rebecca faced endless shame and blame. Her family, Eddy’s family…

“Shameless, dirty, disgraceful…” Those words became linked to her name.

Helplessly, Rebecca didn’t know how to explain herself.

She had somehow ended up in the wrong room, with the wrong groom, losing her virtue and the happy life that seemed within her grasp.

Her world had collapsed…

After hearing the story, Sherilyn sighed deeply, at a loss for words.

There are countless forms of suffering in the world, and Rebecca, who appeared optimistic and independent, was living through such hardship. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Rebecca.”

Sherilyn’s eyes welled up, her voice hoarse, “So, how… are you still together?”

Logically, it wouldn’t be surprising for Eddy to be upset about the incident. After all, who would want to be cuckolded on their wedding night?

Shouldn’t he be seeking a divorce?

“Because…” Rebecca’s sobbing grew more intense, “At first, Eddy was like, ‘It’s cool, I don’t want to lose you over this.‘ But then, well, things changed…”

She couldn’t continue, but Sherilyn could guess.

Eventually, Eddy couldn’t overcome his psychological barrier and started engaging in affairs, as a way to vent his frustration and to retaliate against Rebecca’s impurity!

Rebecca lifted her hands to her face, sobbing, her shoulders trembling slightly.

“Sherilyn, I hate, I hate so much.”

She didn’t say who she hated.

But Sherilyn thought, Rebecca must hate the man who caused her to lose her purity, right? Sherilyn handed her a tissue, wiping away her tears, carefully saying, “Rebecca, have you considered… divorce?”

“Divorce?” Rebecca froze, her expression blank.

Clearly, she hadn’t thought about it.

“Yes.”

Sherilyn nodded, advising her, “Being together is just torturing each other. If you’re not happy together, why continue?”

Rebecca shook her head, “I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it.”

“Then think about it. You’re still so young. Don’t trap yourself in a dead marriage.”

A few days later, the doctor came for rounds and stopped Gilbert’s IV

“You can switch to oral medication now.”

Gilbert had had enough of the hospital. “Does that mean I can be discharged?”

“It’s not out of the question,” the doctor said. “Staying a couple more days would be safer, though.”
