NovelOnline---- Chapter 396 The next morning, Maggie went to visit Old Mrs. Wilson. As she stepped out of the parking
garage, she ran into Sophia and Janice. They were all in high spirits-after all, Franklin had postponed his trip and
spent hours at the hospital with Julia. His devotion reassured the entire Green family. Sophia tilted her chin,
deliberately raising her voice. "Auntie, when my sister had her accident yesterday, brother-in-law rushed straight
to the hospital. He postponed his trip again and again.
And this morning, he said he had to csee her before he could leave for the airport." Hearing this, Maggie
finally understood: Franklin had left the restaurant yesterday because of Julia. She had long known, long grown
used to, Franklin's care for Julia. ---- And she also knew Sophia's words were aimed at her. Expressionless, she
brushed past them into the elevator. When they saw the floor she pressed, the Greens realized Maggie was
headed to visit Old Mrs. Wilson. They had known the old lady was also hospitalized here, but hadn't managed to

After all, Old Mrs. Wilson's illness was severe, yet the Wilson family hadn't even let Julia bring Isabella to see her.
Janice's eyes turned cold at the thought. ---- Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Wilson had just finished a check-up. Seeing
Maggie enter, her face lit up. Maggie chatted with her gently while arranging fresh flowers at the window. When
she glanced down toward the parking lot, she spotted Franklin. She quickly looked away and returned to the old
lady's side. The old woman, restless from long days in the ward, talked on and on. Maggie stayed longer than
she'd planned to keep her company. Half an hour later, Old Mrs. Wilson finally said, "Maggie, don't letkeep

room downstairs, the reason was obvious. She was about to turn back when Franklin greeted her: "You're here?"
"Mm." Maggie's reply was flat. She turned again to bid the old lady goodbye. "You're leaving already?" Franklin
asked. "Already? Maggie's been withover half an hour," Old Mrs. Wilson snorted. "Unlike you, showing up so

She bid farewell once more and left. As she stepped out, she heard the old woman say, "Good thing Maggie kept
