Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Hah!\"

Rebecca White couldn't hold it back and let out a scoff. Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes lifted at the corners. \"Are you kidding me? Not splitting up? For life?\"

She shook her head, her tone light and breezy. \"Eddy, are you planning to trap me, and then, what? Finish me off?\"

\"No, no!\" Eddy panicked, shaking his head in distress. \"I didn't want this, but, I just can't help but think back to our wedding day...\"

\"Stop!\" Rebecca White closed her eyes briefly. \"I get it, so... let's just get a divorce. That solves everything, doesn't it?\"

"That's not a solution!\" Eddy shook his head vehemently. \"We should be together. How is splitting up a solution?\"

The air turned quiet for a moment. Rebecca White was all too familiar with these words. Over the years, hadn't they discussed this very topic? But all it led to was his intensified infidelity and domestic violence...

\"Ugh." Rebecca White sighed, slowly pulling her hand away from his grip. \"What happened on our wedding night can't be changed. The only solution is for you to let go... but it's been five years, and you can't. Divorce is our only way out...\" She chuckled. \"Actually, we should have split back when it all happened, instead of wasting these years...\"

\"Rebecca, I...\" Rebecca White looked at him and continued, "If we had split then, maybe today we could've just nodded and smiled at each other in passing, instead of becoming enemies...\"

Eddy shuddered slightly, his shoulders trembling. \"Enemies?\"

\"Isn't that what we are?\" Rebecca White smiled faintly. \"When you were beating me to death, you weren't just treating me like an enemy, you weren't treating me like a person at all!\"

The pain was branded on her body, etched in her mind, impossible to erase! Her eyes slightly moist, \"With you treating me like that, you are my enemy!\"

Eddy was stunned, mouth agape, speechless. Rebecca White shook her head in resignation. \"I wouldn't have agreed to meet you today if I Khis was what you wanted to talk about...\"

She stood up. \"Sign the divorce papers, please. If you refuse, then I'll have no choice but to file for a divorce lawsuit!\"

She bent over to pick up her bag, not looking back, and walked away.

"Rebecca!\" Eddy hurriedly stood up, trying to grab her, but it was too late. Rebecca White was already far away, not looking back. He stood there,dazed, his forehead creased in pain and agitation. \"Is there really no way out?\"

That evening, Rebecca White went to the hospital. \"Everything was okay today, right?\"

\"Yeah.\" Sherilyn nodded; she had just come back from visiting Galen. \"Both the big and the little ones are doing well.\"

During the day, she and Gilbert had

gone to the sterile ward to see Jenna. The little one had woken up

and was even waving and smiling at them through the monitor camera.

"How long does Jenna have to stay in the sterile chamber?\"

"It depends, could be anywhere from 14 to 28 days.\"

Sherilyn noticed that Rebecca White seemed a bit off. \"What's wrong? Something happened?\"

\"Ugh...\" Rebecca White heaved a sigh, sharing the ordeal with Eddy.

"Tsk." Sherilyn frowned, full of disdain. \"He has the nerve to say that, as if he wasn't the one throwing punches at you.\"

She reminded Rebecca White, \"Don't you go soft on him. Zero tolerance for domestic violence and infidelity, and he's guilty of both!\"

"I know..." Rebecca White nodded with a wry smile. \"Don't worry.\"
