As she entered, she didn’t see Franklin and assumed he was in the study. But now, after hearing isabella’s words, she realized. that Franklin hadn’t come back yet. 

hotel hosting the banquet today was closer to here than her current residence. Plus, he had left the party at least half an 

hbr earlier than her. 

Even if he had dropped Julia off first, by this time, he should have already arrived home. However, if he didn’t leave Julia’s place right away after dropping her off or had no intention of coming home tonight, then that would be another story. 

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 Isabella’s 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 it’s 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. 

If it were in the past, she would have felt happy to hold his jacket, savoring the warmth, reluctant to let go.

But now, she casually set the jacket aside, smiling at Isabella. “Tun going downstairs to make porridge.” 

With both Maggie and Franklin at home, Isabella felt much better. Upon hearing Maggie’s words, she obediently nodded. 

“Min, thank you, Mommy.” 

Maggie smiled and turned to leave the room. 

As she walked away, Franklin’s gaze fell on the jacket she had left on the chair. 

Maggie made the porridge and began preparing other ingredients. 

fer washing her hands and leaving the kitchen, twenty minutes had passed. 

She hesitated for a moment, then went upstairs. 

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, don’t worry,” 

Was he talking to Julia? 

Would Julia really be worried about Isabella? 

Maggie averted her gaze and entered Isabella’s room.
