Chapter 380
The Miller family,
Before attending the auction, Maggie had already discussed the matter of bidding on the diamond with Grandma Miller.
Staring at the dazzling diamond that Maggie had bought at a high price, Grandma Miller was silent for a long time before finally speaking: “Your mother did indeed love diamonds. But… if diamonds really have any effect, then they might either bring your mother clarity or plunge her deeper into… madness. So, Maggie, keep the diamond safe for now. As for using it to treat your mother, let’s wait a while and see how things go.”
Maggie had actually thought about that too.
She agreed with her grandmother’s concerns.
But rare diamonds like this are hard to come by–if she missed this chance, who knew how long she’d have to wait for another? And since money wasn’t an issue for her now, she went ahead and bought it, even if it might not be useful right away.
Hearing her grandmother say this, she simply replied, “Okay.”
She hadn’t visited Mrs. Wilson in the hospital for the past couple of days.
The next morning, she went again.
She arrived fairly early, but when she got to the hospital, both Franklin and Levi were already there. However, the housekeeper was nowhere to be
seen.
When she knocked and entered, Franklin and Levi both looked at her.
Maggie gave Franklin a slight nod as a greeting, then went straight in to check on Mrs. Wilson.
Seeing Maggie completely ignore him, Levi blinked and turned to Franklin, muttering, “She really doesn’t put anyone in her eyes anymore.”
Franklin sat down and replied blandly, “And?”
Levi: “…”
A while later, Maggie came out of the room. She didn’t leave right away, though. Instead, she looked at Franklin and asked, “How has Grandma been doing these past two days?”
Franklin poured a glass of water and walked over to hand it to her. Maggie shook her head, indicating she didn’t want it. Franklin didn’t inșist and set the glass down, saying, “She’s improved a bit. The doctor said at this pace, she might wake up in a few days.”
“Okay, got it.”
With that, Maggie didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.
Just then, Franklin said, “Isabella’s at training. She’ll be back tomorrow.”
To be honest, she wasn’t particularly interested in Isabella’s whereabouts.
But with Levi standing nearby, glancing between her and Franklin like he was watching gossip unfold, she didn’t show her disinterest and simply replied, “Got it,” before leaving without looking back.
Levi watched her until she disappeared from view, then turned to Franklin and said, “Funny, now that you two are getting divorced, your relationship seems better than before.”
Franklin tapped away at his laptop without looking up. “Is that so?” he responded noncommittally.
Most couples who divorce try to destroy each other.

What these two had was rare.
Still, Levi didn’t say that out loud. Instead, as if struck by a thought, he suddenly said, “Either way, the two of you have Isabella. Sure, she made mistakes back then, but the past is the past. If she’s let it go now, and you’re willing to let it go for Isabella’s sake too, then maybe there really isn’t any irreconcilable hatred or conflict between you. It wouldn’t be impossible for the two of you to get along for Isabella’s sake in the future…”
Franklin said nothing.
Levi watched him, unsure what he was thinking.
But since Franklin didn’t respond, Levi didn’t feel like pushing it further–he simply closed his mouth in silence.
