When she had observed Janiya's haughty demeanor that morning, she had feared that Maggie might be subjected to mistreatment and hence decided to record their conversation.

She was left astonished when Janiya concocted a story to deter her son from Maggie, and even more so when Sanford fell for the fabrication.

In her eyes, Sanford was too gullible to deserve Maggie's affection “Rosalynn, I understand my mistake. Maggie, please don't leave!”

Sanford implored, attempting to catch up with them.

“Move aside." Rosalynn shoved Sanford, pulling Maggie along.

Maggie's teary eyes lingered on Sanford's face briefly before she quickly averted her gaze. She bit her lip, allowing Rosalynn to guide her, despite her reluctance to leave.

Brian rubbed his temples, sharing a helpless look with Sanford.

Just as the trio prepared to exit the room, Sanford suddenly clutched his chest, succumbing to a fit of violent coughs.

"Maggie, please don't Leave"

Maggie paused, released Rosalynn's hand, and rushed to Sanford's side.

“Sanford, calm down. How do you feel?"

“Maggie, I don't feel well."

Seizing the moment, Sanford gripped her hand, his face reflecting pain.

“Rest on the bed." Maggie assisted him to the bed.

“Don't leave. Can you stay with me?" Sanford pleaded, holding her hand tightly.

Maggie looked into his pleading eyes, opened her mouth, and instinctively glanced at Rosalynn.

Rosalynn observed the scene with a cold demeanor. She recognized Sanford's pretense of agony to keep Maggie by his side.

She felt a wave of annoyance at his deceit.

These men were all adept at deception.

“Maggie, I apologize. I'm entirely at fault. I shouldn't have trusted my mother's words and suspected you. Are you angry with me?"

As Maggie glanced at Rosalynn, Sanford tightened his hold on her hand, compelling her to focus on him.

“I'm not angry," Maggie responded after snapping out of her thoughts.
