Ernest, observing Elissa’s fragile state, nodded in understanding. “I see now,” he said, rising from his seat.

Hadley, also standing, asked, “Are you leaving?”

“No,” Ernest replied, shaking his head. “It wouldn’t be right to leave her alone. I’ll arrange for a skilled caregiver.”

A warmth spread through Hadley as she expressed her gratitude. “Ernest, thank you so much. On Elissa’s behalf, I really appreciate it.”

Ernest dismissed the gratitude with a shake of his head. “There’s no need.” For him, arranging a caregiver was a modest act of kindness, though he knew it might not be enough in the long run.
