Rosalynn mulled over the situation for a moment before speaking up.

“You shouldn't fret over it. Just stick around with Sanford. I'll get you some time off."

A grin spread across Maggie's face.

"Thank you, Mrs. Hughes.”

"Enough of that," Rosalynn interjected with a grin, ending the call promptly.

“Was that Maggie?" queried Brian.

“Yes, Sanford wants her to stay in the hospital and meet with his mother."

Rosalynn took a brief pause before adding, “Honey, do you think his mother will relent?"

Brian arched an eyebrow in thought and responded, “She has placed all her hopes on her only son. She's not one to give in without a fight.

Maggie might have to withstand a lot of stress if she wants to be with Sanford. But it's all about resilience. If they both endure, I'm confident that Mrs. Robles will eventually soften."

Taking in his words, Rosalynn voiced a concern.

"I just wish Maggie doesn't have to give up too much for a fairytale ending."

Maggie was frail, and the thought of her being mistreated by the Robles family troubled Rosalynn.

"Well, it's a path she's chosen. She'll have to face whatever comes her way," Brian replied, trying to soothe Rosalynn's worries.

They shared their meal in silence.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Maggie exhaled a sigh of relief in the restroom, having ended her phone call.

Rosalynn's calm reaction was comforting.

As she exited the bathroom, she noticed a servant carrying breakfast to Sanford.

Her heart pounded in her chest, her gaze fixated on the door.

Yet, Sanford's mother didn't make an appearance.

“Where's my mother?" Sanford asked the servant by his bedside.

"She couldn't make it. She asked that you rest well,” the servant replied with a respectful nod.
