Gracefully wiping his mouth with a tissue, Brian turned to Deanna.
âStay with Mom for a bit, will you? Sanford and I need to talk outside.
â
âAlright,â Deanna agreed.
Exchanging a knowing look with Sanford, Brian led the way to a corridor outside the hospital room,
âWhy are you here?â Brian questioned.
Sanford explained, âI ran into Rosalynn.
She mentioned that your mother was upset with her and had to be hospitalized.

Brian looked drained, a clear sign that he had a restless night.
âSo whatâs the deal, Brian? Deanna mentioned that something went down with Karina, Rosalynnâs best friend.
Apparently, your mom was blamed and was sent some fake photos?â Sanford pressed.
Brian clenched his lips and recounted the entire tale.

Listening to Brian, Sanford let out a sigh.
âFamily matters are always tricky, arenât they? But Rosalynn didnât falsify anything about Brad, did she?â
Brian hesitated.
âNo.
She didnât make things up, but she should have talked to me before taking any action.
