A mix of guilt and helplessness washed over her.

Could she be by his side, nursing him back to health in the future?

After leaving the VIP ward, she hesitated before making her way to the room where her mother was staying.

Through the clear glass window, she observed her father caring for her mother, feeding her breakfast.

Her mother, propped up in bed, appeared to be in good spirits.

Her hand hovered over the doorknob, but she ultimately decided against opening the door.

Entering now would inevitably trigger a discussion about Yana.

She wasn't in the right frame of mind to address that issue.

It felt as though a heavy weight had settled over her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed down her feelings of disappointment and worry and quickly walked away.

Back in Sanford's ward, the doctor left after finishing his examination.

The room fell quiet.

Seated at the edge of the bed, Janiya studied Sanford's pale and handsome face and sighed.

“Sanford, don't blame me. I didn't want to treat her like that. But I can't bear to see you hurt again. Please, promise me you won't involve yourself with women of that sort anymore, okay?”

Hearing her words, Sanford slowly opened his eyes, a glint of determination visible in them.

"Mom, I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing. Yes, she comes from a modest background, but she's hardworking, amiable, gentle, and kind-hearted. She doesn't crave material possessions or wealth. She's nothing Like Jaelyn."

Jaelyn was his ex-girlfriend.

After accepting a sizable check from his mother, she had left him without a second thought, pockets filled with money.

The woman who had given him his first taste of heartbreak had also shaped him into the man he was today.

He was aware that Maggie came from an ordinary family, but she was far from ordinary.

Maggie was worthy of his love!

“Son, I've Lived a lot Longer than you. I understand people better.
