The room was filled with weird silence.
Old Maddy, who had taken some time to calm himself down, suddenly said, "Let… let me go and rinse my face to clear my mind a little."
It seemed that even the amount of time he had spent calming himself down just now hadn't allowed him to come to terms with the new information.
He entered the bathroom in the ward in a daze and turned on the faucet. Then, he scooped a handful of icy-cold water and splashed it onto his face.
As it turned out, during these twenty-odd years that he had been crazy, Ms. Nora had become this outstanding?
If Ms. Yvette were still alive, she would probably be very glad to see this, right?
Outside, Nora heard him turn on the faucet. Amid the sound of the water flowing and splashing, she seemed to hear Old Maddy's sigh.
A minute later, the sound of water flowing was still continuing.
