“Maggie, Brian and I are going to visit Sanford tonight. You can come along with us."

Upon hearing this, Maggie hesitated for a moment before responding, "I might not go with you. If his mother is at the hospital, she won't be pleased to see me.”

Rosalynn insisted, “It doesn't matter. Brian will accompany us, and she won't cause any trouble in front of us, no matter how unhappy she may be."

“But—"

“Well, don't think too much. Don't you want to see your sweetheart?"

Rosalynn playfully teased.

Maggie blushed but eventually nodded.

She yearned to see him, longing to be by his side and care for him.

Perhaps his mother would have left by the time they arrived.

Around eight o'clock, Brian returned to Beauty Apartments.

Instead of going upstairs, he called Rosalynn and asked her to meet him downstairs.

Rosalynn descended with Maggie and found Edwin waiting for them by the car.

Maggie settled into the passenger seat, while Rosalynn joined Brian in the back.

As Rosalynn caught a glimpse of Brian‘s handsome profile, she leaned closer and took a sniff, but detected no scent of alcohol on him.

Noticing her actions, Brian arched an eyebrow and interlaced his fingers with hers.

"What's the matter? You're like a puppy."

Rosalynn chuckled.

“Nothing. It seems you haven't had much to drink."

Brian played with her fingers, grinning.

“Didn't you ask me to drink less? How could I defy your orders?"

He pretended to be serious, causing the corners of her mouth to involuntarily curve upward.

The car journey was smooth, and they soon arrived at the hospital.
