Chapter 38
Chapter 38 When she received the call from Franklin , she thought he had already returned home .
As she entered , she didnt see Franklin and assumed he was in the study .
But now , after hearing isabellas words , she realized .
that Franklin hadnt 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 didnt leave Julias 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 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 .
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 .

Tun going downstairs to make porridge .
With both Maggie and Franklin at home , Isabella felt much better .
Upon hearing Maggies words , she obediently nodded .
Min , thank you , Mommy .
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 .
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 , 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 .
Maggie shook her head .
Aunt Sara paused for a moment , but didnt think much of it .
She continued carefully changing Isabella into fresh clothes .
After Aunt Sara was done , Maggie sat on the sofa in the room and asked , Has the doctor left ? Yes .
What did the doctor say ? Is the fever likely to come back ? She was considering whether to stay the night .
The doctor said it shouldnt happen again .
Thats good .
