At that moment , the sound of footsteps came from the hallway .

Franklin was back Daddy ! Hmm .

Franklin entered and walked over to the bedside .

Seeing him , Maggie wanted to put down Isabella to give Franklin more space , but Isabella was unwilling to leave her arms .

She reached out to Franklin .

Franklin leaned over and picked up Isabella .

As he held her , he was very close to Maggie .

She could smell his familiar cologne , but along with it , there was a faint , elegant feminine fragrance .

It was the same scent she had just smelled on Julia earlier at the banquet .

Maggie turned her face away , distancing herself from Franklin until the scent was no longer in her nose .

Franklin gently placed his hand on Isabellas forehead , his eyes turning to Maggie .

How high is the temperature now ? Has it dropped ? Maggie repeated what the doctor had said .

The high fever has turned into a low fever , but its still not stable , it may spike again .

Hmm.

Franklin sat on the edge of the bed , holding Isabella in his arms .

Isabella , reluctant to get down , frowned , Dad , your jacket is so stiff Franklin took off his jacket and handed it to Maggie .

She reflexively took it and held it in her arms .

Only when she clearly smelled the intertwined fragrances did she remember that she and Franklin were about to divorce .

Maggie smiled and turned to leave the room .

As she walked away , Franklins gaze fell on the jacket she had left on the chair .

Maggie made the porridge and began preparing other ingredients .

When she reached the second floor and turned the corner , she saw Franklin standing by the window at the end of the corridor, talking on the phone .

The fever has gone down , dont worry , Was he talking to Julia ? Would Julia really be worried about Isabella ? Maggie averted her gaze and entered Isabellas room .

Isabella had finished her IV drip and was now asleep .

She had sweated a lot , and Aunt Sara was carefully wiping her sweat .

When she saw Maggie , Aunt Sara quickly moved aside and handed her the towel , assuming she was going to take care of Isabella herself .

After all , that was what Maggie used to do .

In matters concerning Isabella and Franklin , Maggie had always been hands on .

Aunt Sara paused for a moment , but didnt think much of it .

She continued carefully changing Isabella into fresh clothes .
