---- Chapter 370 There was no telling when the olddy would wake up. Maggie stayed at the hospital with the others for over an hour. When the olddy still showed no signs of waking, Ste said calmly, "You should head back for now. If she wakes up or there''s any news, I''ll let you know." Maggie looked at the olddy lying unconscious on the hospital bed, a respirator over her face. Then she nced at her phone and replied, "Its still early.
I''d like to wait a bit longer." Ste didn''t argue with her. York and Maria also stayed Maggie waited until around 11 p.m. When the doctor said the olddy''s condition had stabilized somewhat-but she wouldn''t be waking up any time soon-Maggie finally left to rest. Over an hour after Maggie left, Franklin and Isabe arrived at the hospital. ---- Franklin had already heard that Maggie hade by to see the olddy.
He and Ste chose to stay at the hospital, while the butler was instructed to take Isabe back to rest. For Isabe, this was the first time in her memory that she had confronted something as serious as life and death. staring at the olddy lying on the bed, Isabe hugged Franklin''s waist and buried her face into his chest, her eyes rimmed red in fear. "I don''t want to go back. I want to see Mommy." Franklin lifted her onto hisp and checked the time. "It''s almost 1 a.m. now.
I don''t know if Mommy''s already asleep We should ask first." "Oh... then I''ll call her-" "Daddy will do it." "Okay." Franklin picked up his phone and sent Maggie a message: [Are you asleep? Isabe and I are at the hospital. I''m nning to ---- stay here tonight with Grandma. Isabe found out about her condition and is really scared. She wants toe to you. Is that okay?) Maggie hadn''t gone to bed yet. Though it waste, she was still restless, worried about the olddy.
When she was around Isabe''s age, her grandfather had also been in a critical ident. So when she saw the message, she fully understood Isabe''s fear and helplessness. she replied: [Let here.] Franklin: (Thank you.] Just as Maggie was about to put her phone down and head downstairs for a ss of water, another message came through. [Can we postpone the divorce for a few days?] Maggie understood he meant: wait until the olddy''s condition stabilized before moving forward.
---- she hesitated a moment, then replied: [Okay.] Franklin: (Thank you.] This time, Maggie didn''t respond. About half an hourter, Isabe arrived. After she bathed and got into bed, Maggie pulled her gently into her arms, brushing a hand over her little cheek. "sleep." This was actually the first time Maggie had held her so tenderly since bringing up the divorce with Franklin. Curled up in Maggie''s arms, Isabe finally felt at ease.
After a full day of travel and stress with Franklin, she was already exhausted. Before long, she drifted off, clinging to Maggie. The next morning, the olddy still hadn''t woken up. ---- After checking in with the butler, Maggie and the Madam Miller brought Isabe back to the hospital to visit the olddy. Franklin was clearly busy. When they arrived-just past eight in the morning-he was already discussing work with Jake, with several documents spread out in front of him.
When he saw them, he stopped and got up to greet them. "You''re here?" Maggie responded with a simple, indifferent, "Mm." Franklin then turned to the Madam Miller, "Ma''am." The Madam only gave a cold nod in return before heading in to see the olddy. Maggie had a meeting that morning, so after checking on the olddy, she nned to return to work. But Isabe didn''t want her to leave. Hugging her tightly, she said, "Mommy, I want to be with you. Can I go to work with you?"
