Chapter 159~ Support system

Ryan was waiting for the Doctor in his ward when he heard someone knock on the glass. He turned to look and what he saw made his eyes widen in shock. "What's going on??" He mouthed since he couldn't be heard from outside.

From outside, Adan Nicholson lowered the whiteboard he was holding and waved at him.

Ryan was still trying to understand what was happening when Jason opened the door to the ward and walked in. His freshly shaved head gleamed under the lights. Behind him, Charles, Miles and Adan stepped into the ward, all sporting matching shiny scalps.

It couldn't be helped. Ryan glanced at the four men and broke into a laugh.

"Are you guys crazy? You look so funny... why did you shave off your hair?" He asked.

Adan chuckled. He put the whiteboard away and answered, "As your support system, we decided to cut off all our hair until yours grows back."

"But I still have my hair," Ryan remarked.

Charles sighed and said, "It will fall off at some point. And instead of waiting for it, why not cut it all off until your whole treatment is done?"

"Adan, I knew you were crazy but Jason, Dad and Grandpa too?" Ryan uttered. He looked at Adan and asked, "How did you even convince everyone to do this?"

The four men laughed before Charles raised his chest and stated, "Actually, this was my idea. I couldn't let you go through this alone. So I asked these young ones to cut their hair to support you. We are in this together."

"What I didn't expect is for them to have funny heads. Have you seen your Dad's head? It looks like a potato," Charles added and they all burst into laughter.

"Father, come on. Don't forget I got my looks from you. So my head looks like yours," Miles remarked and Charles playfully glared at him.

"You must be blind. What part of me looks like you? Only me and Ryan will look nice in shaved heads," Charles said.

"What are you saying, Grandpa? I'm the most good-looking man right now," Adan remarked, patting his head.

"I'm rocking my bald look too," Jason said and took out a shaving machine which he had hidden behind him. He looked at Ryan and asked, "Are you ready to rock yours too?"
