---- Chapter 371 Just as Maggie was about to respond, Franklin cut in first: "Your mom is busy with work. Don''t bother her." Isabe pouted, clearly unhappy, and looked up at Maggie with pleading eyes. Maggie said gently, "Mommy has to go to a meeting, then head to anotherpany to talk business. It''s not convenient to bring you this time.
Maybe next time, okay?" Though disappointed, Isabe let go reluctantly, her voice low: *..Okay." Since the olddy still hadn''t woken up, and there was little to say between the Madam Miller and Franklin, she left together with Maggie. Inside the elevator, she said quietly, "It''s not that he''s worried Isabe will disturb your work-he''s worried that if she goes with you to the office, someone might see." ---- Maggie understood what she meant.
If news spread that she and Franklin hadn''t actually finalized their divorce, the first person to suffer would be Julia. In order to protect Julia, Franklin naturally had to keep the truth-that he and his "ex-wife" were still legally married-under wraps until the divorce was finalized. Once downstairs, Maggie watched the Madam Miller''s car drive off before turning to get into her own vehicle. At that moment, Harry had just arrived at the hospital.
The moment he got out of the car, he caught sight of Maggie''s side profile. He instinctively wanted to call out to her-but she was already driving off through the exit. The words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down. Levi came around from the driver''s side and pped him on the shoulder. "What are you daydreaming about? Let''s go." Harry snapped out of it and walked inside with Levi.
when they entered the hospital, Isabe greeted them cheerfully, ---- "Uncle Harry, Uncle Levi!" Harry smiled, ruffled Isabe''s hair, and set the fruit basket he brought down on a side table. At that moment, his gazended on the gift that Maggie and Madam Miller had brought earlier. On the box was a small handwritten card with Maggie''s blessings for the olddy''s recovery-signed with the name "Maggie." Seeing her handwriting, a soft tenderness crept into Harry''s chest.
He stood there in a daze, eyes fixed on that delicate signature. Levi called out to him, "Harry,e sit. What are you staring at?" Harry snapped out of it and turned toward him, only to realize both Levi and Franklin were now looking at him. When he met Franklin''s gaze, he instinctively looked away. "Okay," he said and set down the basket. Just as he was about to sit down, he paused, walked back over, and subtly moved his fruit basket next to Maggie''s gift.
As soon as Harry sat down, Franklin''s phone rang. ---- It was a call from Julia Franklin picked up. Julia asked, "How''s Grandma? Has she woken up yet?" "Not yet." "What about Isabe? Is she doing better?" "Much better." "Can I talk to her?" "Sure." Franklin handed the phone to Isabe. "Is it Aunt Julia?" Isabe quickly took the phone and said sweetly, Aunt Julia!" Hearing that it was Julia calling, Levi rubbed his nose awkwardly.
