Sanford found himself taken aback when Rosalynn declined to answer the phone.

With a sigh, he moved aside and said to Brian, “Brian, Rosalynn is not in the best mood right now. It might be a good idea to head back home soon."

Brian's response was a prolonged silence before he finally asked,

“She doesn't want to answer the phone?"

“She is accompanying Karina right now."

After another pause, Brian said, “I'm on my way to the airport."

“Alright, got it," Sanford replied before hanging up. He turned to Rosalynn and said, “Rosalyn, Brian will be back tomorrow morning.”

Rosalynn's response was cold and detached.

“Whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with me."

They were divorced, after all, and there was no reason for him to be concerned about her.

Furthermore, his business no longer had anything to do with her.

Sanford was taken aback, his gaze turning to Maggie. The two exchanged looks, suspecting that Rosalynn's lingering anger towards Brian had something to do with Noemi.

Karina, sensing the tension, Looked up at Rosalynn. She wanted to ask something but chose to remain silent. She just held Rosalynn's hand tightly.

An awkward silence enveloped the room, and no one uttered a word.

Sanford decided to buy some food and water while they waited for news about Barlow's surgery.

Two hours later, the emergency room doors swung open, and a doctor came out.

Anxiously, Sanford rushed over and asked, “Doctor, how is he doing?"

"I'm sorry; we did everything we could."

The doctor's calm response left them stunned.

They did everything they could?
