Seeing her insistence, Sanford smiled.

“Alright, Ellie, please assist her. Thank you.”

He felt warm knowing that she was worried about him.

Maggie lay prone on the bed. Ellie slightly lifted her top to apply the medicine on her bruise.

Sanford didn't leave the bed, but leaned against the headboard. As he glimpsed her partially exposed waist and the curve of her hips, his mind flooded with memories of their intimate moments.

Feeling a sudden dryness in his throat, he looked away, fearing he might lose control.

Soon, Ellie finished applying the medication.

“It's done."

“Thank you, Ellie." Maggie straightened her clothes and smiled gratefully.

"Ellie, you can Leave us now. Please close the curtains on your way out."

Sanford requested Ellie to leave because he intended to continue his nap with Maggie.

Ellie hesitated for a moment before nodding. As she was preparing to exit the ward, her phone began to ring.

Seeing Janiya's name flashing on the screen, she tensed up.

"Mr. Robles, it's a call from your mother."

Sanford raised his eyebrows.

"Go ahead, answer it."

He trusted Ellie. She was an astute woman and had been amply rewarded to ensure her loyalty.

Mrs. Robles.” has that woman shown up at the hospital again?"

Hearing this, Ellie shot a covert glance at Maggie, who was nestled next to Sanford, and Lied, "No."

“Good! Find out what Sanford wants for dinner tonight." Janiya responded with satisfaction.

Relaying the query to Sanford, Ellie watched as he gently stroked Maggie's hair and replied nonchalantly, “Whatever.”

“Mr. Robles said anything is fine."
