Linda remained in her wheelchair, staring blankly ahead. She overheard him outside, speaking to the nurse. "Keep an eye on her. Don't leave her alone again." "Yes, Mr. Flynn." Linda's lips twisted into a wry smile. He was worried she might do something rash, wasn't he? Would she? No, she wouldn't.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEric and Hadley were to be married. How could she consider taking her life now? She had to stay alive, to witness whether their so-called happiness could truly last.
Linda's eyes dropped to her legs. Everyone else seemed to have found their match, while she was left abandoned, rotting in the mud. Now that her life was ruined, she resolved not to make things easy for them either.
As the season changed, the air grew warmer, and the mornings began to brighten earlier.
When Eric reached Millland Road, Hadley had just woken up and hadn't freshened up yet. Melba was busy in the kitchen, so Hadley answered the door. "Good morning." At the door, Eric stood with a bouquet of fresh flowers in one hand and a bag from Red Shell Bistro in the other. "Freshly baked egg custard tarts. You and Joy love them." "Thanks." Hadley collected the bag without saying anything else.
"I'll go see how Joy is doing," Eric said.
"She's still sleeping..." "It's okay. I'll just wait in her room." Hadley made no attempt to stop him. She unwrapped the flowers, got a vase, filled it with water, and arranged the bouquet.

"Live together? Like with Melba?" she asked, tilting her head.
"No..." Eric faltered for a moment, shaking his head with @soft chuckle. "More like with your mom."
"But..." Joy's lips puckered into a pout, still puzzled. "I already have a mom." She couldn't have two moms, could she? "And you're a man," she added, scrunching her nose. "How could you be my mom?"
