After a moment of silence, Flossie Wright spoke again, "I want to loosen the bandages."
"Okay."
Glenn Hutchinson nodded.
He didn't call for a doctor; it was Glenn Hutchinson who removed the bandages. Some wounds that hadn't fully healed needed to be rebandaged, and he did it all himself.
The seriously infected wounds at the time were severe, but applying medication and bandaging them was not a problem for Glenn Hutchinson.
All of his movements were very cautious, fearing he might hurt Flossie Wright or disturb her emotions.
"I want to be alone for a while."
Though she felt her body could move, Flossie Wright didn't move at all. She turned her head slightly and said this to Glenn Hutchinson.
Up to this point, she remained so calm.
It was as if she had quietly accepted it.
"Okay."
Glenn Hutchinson furrowed his eyebrows but still nodded.
