Sanford tried to offer his side of the story, only to be cut off by Janiya once more.
âThereâs no need for explanations.
Youâve become utterly blinded by infatuation!â
As Janiya voiced her accusations, she turned to Maggie, her words biting.
âLeave at once.
I donât want you ever appearing in front of my son again.
â
âMom!â Annoyed, Sanford glanced at Maggie.
âDonât listen to my mother, Maggie.
â
âWhat? Now youâre defying me for this lowly woman?â Janiya retorted.
âMom, please stop.
Iâm not well!â Sanford clutched his wound, his complexion paling.
Maggie bit her lip, struggling to keep the sadness from her eyes.
She bowed respectfully to Janiya.
âI apologize, Mrs.
Robles.
I accept the blame.
Please donât be upset.
Iâll take my leave now.
â
She couldnât bear the thought of Sanford quarrelling with his mother on her account.
The guilt would be unbearable.
âMaggie, donât go! Pleaseâ¦â Sanfordâs plea was interrupted by a bout of coughing.
Maggie froze, tears streaming down her face unchecked.

âMaggie!â Sanford reached for his wound, intending to rise from the bed, his face contorted with pain.
âDear, stay still! Oh, my God! Why is there blood seeping through your shirt? Has your wound worsened?â
âMrs.
Robles, you should call the doctor.
â
âYes, of course! Iâll press the call button!
Maggie leaned against the wall outside, straining to hear the commotion inside.
Her hands clenched into tight fists as worry gnawed at her.
âSanford, please take care of yourself, okay?â she murmured.
Soon, a doctor hurried over.
After the examination, Janiya inquired, âDoctor, howâs my son?â
âThe patient has just undergone surgery.
Any unnecessary agitation should be avoided as it could hinder his recovery,â the doctor advised after attending to Sanfordâs wound.
