"Maggie, don't Leave me," Sanford pleaded, his voice tender.

Maggie hesitated before saying, "But Rosalynn is upset.”

Sanford comforted her in a gentle tone, "No, she could never be angry with you. When I recover, we can apologize to her together, alright?"

Maggie remained uncertain, weighing her options. After a moment, she suggested, "I'LL explain things to her when I get back Later."

Sanford's eyes sparkled.
