Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 13

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 .

I can see that , but do you really think thats what I meant ? Then what do you mean ? Sienna shot back , her gaze locked onto Yvettes .

Yvette crossed her arms and shook her head .

Alright , youve seen Howard .

You can leave now .

There are caregivers here , we dont need you interfering .

Sienna grinned , not taking her eyes off Yvette .

Youre trying to get rid of me the moment you arrive .

What gives , Got something to hide ? Feeling a little guilty ? What do you mean ? Yvette frowned , her expression darkened .

Sienna smirked , pointing at Howard .

Since Josiah isnt around , you can drop the act Yvette ? Her eyes fixed on Yvettes stomach .

What really went down back then ? You might have had everyone else fooled , but can you fool yourself ? Honestly , do you think youre being fair to Howard ? Yvette was taken aback .

What are you talking about ? Thats nonsense .

22:20 Sat , Jan 4 Chapter 13 Sienna let out a cold laugh for four years , havent you felt a twinge of guilt when you look at Howard ? I dont know what youre getting at , Yvette retorted , her face a mix of anger and embarrassment as she pointed to the door .

Get out .

Youre not wanted here ! At the entrance of the VIP building .

Josiah was on the phone with Miranda .

Knowing Sienna had come alone to visit Howard , Miranda wasted no time in calling Josiah to go get Sienna .

Josiah , be reasonable .

Its way out here , and its getting late .

Siennas alone … Miranda said .

Got it , Grandma , Josiah sighed , rubbing his forehead .

Fortunately , hed already planned on stopping by Howards place tonight .

Im here now .

Dont stress , Ill see she gets home safe , alright ? I appreciate it , Miranda smiled .

Josiah walked while on the phone until he reached the hospital room .

He pushed the door open and saw Yvette pointing at the door , saying , Get out .

Youre not wanted here ! He glanced over and saw Sienna by the bed .

His expression clouded over , his eyes as cold as ice .
