âWhether he comes back or not has nothing to do with me.
â
They were divorced, after all, and there was no reason for him to be concerned about her.
Furthermore, his business no longer had anything to do with her.
Sanford was taken aback, his gaze turning to Maggie.
The two exchanged looks, suspecting that Rosalynnâs lingering anger towards Brian had something to do with Noemi.
Karina, sensing the tension, Looked up at Rosalynn.
She wanted to ask something but chose to remain silent.
She just held Rosalynnâs hand tightly.
An awkward silence enveloped the room, and no one uttered a word.
Sanford decided to buy some food and water while they waited for news about Barlowâs surgery.
Two hours later, the emergency room doors swung open, and a doctor came out.
Anxiously, Sanford rushed over and asked, âDoctor, how is he doing?â
âIâm sorry; we did everything we could.
â
The doctorâs calm response left them stunned.
They did everything they could?
Did Barlow not make it?
Rosalynnâs heart sank in an instant.
Despite the sweltering summer day, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she instinctively turned to look at Karina.
Karinaâs face drained of color.
She looked at the doctor blankly.
It was as if a sharp knife had pierced her heart, and the pain left her trembling.
Her body swayed slightly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Fighting back her grief, Rosalyn whispered to Karina, âStay strong,
Karina.
â
Karina held her hand tightly.
Her voice trembled as she asked,
âRosalynn, did you hear what the doctor said? Did he say they did everything they could? I must have misheard him, right?â
Rosalynn was overwhelmed with sorrow, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
