Chapter: 1231
The trio made their way to the VIP ward where Sanford was staying, pushing open the door. The room was tranquil.

Sanford was seated against the headboard, engrossed in using his tablet.

Ellie was peacefully dozing on the sofa.

Janiya was nowhere to be seen

Maggie wondered why Sanford hadn't replied to her message or requested her presence at the hospital.

Gazing at Sanford's striking face, she couldn't shake off the feeling that he appeared somewhat distant.

“Why are you here?"

Upon seeing the trio entering, Sanford expressed his surprise.

He shot Maggie a fleeting glance before his gaze wandered elsewhere.

“We're here to see how you're doing,” Brian said.

“I'm fine," responded Sanford, his tone flat.

Brian furrowed his brows, sensing something amiss about Sanford's demeanor.

Shouldn't he be pleased to see them, especially since they brought Maggie along?

Rosalynn and Brian shared the same perception.

It appeared that Sanford barely acknowledged Maggie since she stepped into the room.

His aloofness puzzled them.

“Please take a seat. Ellie, could you prepare some fruit for our guests?" Sanford instructed Ellie, who nodded and left to fetch the fruit.

Maggie offered to help.

“Ellie, allow me to assist you." here's no need.”

“Please, I'd be glad to help you cut the fruit."

Watching the two ladies depart for the kitchen, Rosalynn shared a glance with Sanford before rising and following them, offering, “Maggie, I can assist you."

Only Brian remained in the room.
