Chapter 13 How Can You
Show Your Face Here
The man on the bed did not react to Hadley’s presence.
Despite the years that had slipped by, Ernest still looked much the same, as if he were merely asleep.
Memories of Ernest, vibrant and driven, flooded Hadley’s mind…
She struggled to come to terms with the reality, even after all this time.
It seemed so unjust that such a kind person could endure such a fate.
Ernest was a good man, yet he had spent years lying there in a coma. Chances were, he would never wake up.
The sound of the bathroom door interrupted her reflections. A caregiver appeared.
With a basin of water in hand, the caregiver noticed Hadley’s tear–streaked face and nodded courteously.
“Hello.”
“Hi.” Hadley offered her hand. “Are you going to wipe his face?”
“No, I’m actually here to shave him,” he replied.
Understanding, Hadley observed Ernest’s face, noticing the thick stubble that shaded his jaw blue. “I’ll take care
of that. I know how to do it.”
During Ernest’s initial hospitalization, Hadley had been the one to look after him.
At that time, Nyla was overwhelmed with grief and illness, Eric was preoccupied with work, and Linda was
expecting…
Thus, Hadley had become the primary caregiver within the Flynn family.
Caregivers typically deferred to such wishes from the family members.
He set the basin on the nearby stand and passed her a towel. “Here you go.”
“Thank you.”
Gratefully accepting it, Hadley dampened the towel and used it to warm Ernest’s face.
She then spread shaving cream over his face and started the careful process of shaving him.
Engrossed in her task, Hadley didn’t notice Linda enter the room.
Limping slightly from her injured ankle, Linda approached and stopped by the bedside, staring at Hadley in
astonishment.

“Hadley, is that really you?”
Her expression turned into a frown. “What are you doing here? And why are you doing this?”
Looking up, Hadley responded, “I came to visit Ernest… and as you can see, I’m shaving him.”
Linda chuckled lightly, a hint of amusement in her voice. “I can see what you’re doing.”
“And why bother asking, then?” Hadley retorted sharply.
“You…”
A silent standoff ensued as their gazes locked.
With a dismissive wave, Linda crossed her arms and sighed. “Fine, you’ve visited. Now you should go. We have caregivers; your presence isn’t necessary.”
