Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 13 Howard lay in bed , quiet and still .

Years had gone by , and he still looked much the same , as if he were simply in the middle of a long , deep sleep .

Yet , whenever Sienna remembered the days when he was full of life , she just couldnt come to terms with what had happened to him .

They say good people get their just rewards .

Howard was one of the good ones , but here he is , stuck in a coma for years .

And the chances are , hell never wake up , she thought , a bitter taste in her mouth .

Just then , the bathroom door swung open , and the caregiver came out with a basin .

Noticing Siennas red eyes , he politely nodded , Hello .

Hi .

Sienna replied .

Spotting the basin in his hand , she asked , You wiping his face ? No , Im about to shave him , the caregiver responded .

Sienna nodded .

Howards stubble had grown a bit too long , giving his face a slight bluish tinge .

She reached out her hand and said , Let me do it .

I can shave him .

When Howard first had the accident , she was the one taking care of him .

Back then , Miranda was heartbroken and in poor health , Josiah was extremely busy , and Yvette was expecting a baby Sienna had been the only one available .

If the family members agreed , the caregivers usually didnt object .

He placed the basin on the bedside table and handed over the towel .

Here you go .

Thank you .

Sienna wet the towel and began to warm Howards cheeks and chin he had a full beard .

Then she applied some shaving cream , picked up the razor , and began to shave him carefully .

She was so zoned in she didnt even notice the door swing open and Yvette stride in .

Yvette had twisted her ankle , so she was walking a bit slowly .

Once she reached the bedside , she looked at Sienna in surprise .

Sienna , is that really you ? She couldnt help but frown .

Why are you here ? What are you up to ? Sienna glanced at her .

Tm here to see Howard .

As for what Im doing ? Cant you see ? Im shaving him .

Yvette chuckled softly .
