Chapter 1338
This was the last time Sonia came to see Jessica. In the future, she would never come again.
After Jessica gave birth to the child, someone would take the child away from her, and she would be sent to prison
again once she was out of confinement.
After all, Sonia hadn't settled accounts with Jessica yet for poisoning her father.
By the time she returned to the hospital, it was already afternoon.
She didn't visit Toby today, so when she arrived at the ward, he didn't seem so happy as he pulled a long face.
Sonia coaxed the sulky man for a long time before he finally gave in.
Somehow, Sonia found the situation amusing. Ever since Toby got sick, he started acting like a child. He behaved
like a sulky child just because she didn't visit him for a day.
Sonia then took a seat beside Toby's hospital bed and told him what happened when she went to see Jessica.
At the mention of Jessica mistaking herself pregnant with his child, he felt so sick that he almost puked.
How could someone make up scenarios like that in her head?
"Anyway, Miles will be coming to Seafield tonight." Toby wanted to avoid the topic of that disgusting woman, so he
changed the subject.
Sonia froze for a moment before asking, "So soon?"
"Tom told him about my heart condition, so he came early."
She nodded. "Sounds good. Mr. Lore should spill the matter as soon as possible."
"Tom has already gone to the airport to wait for him," Toby continued. "He will meet Mr. Lore and settle the task I
gave him before coming over."
Sonia's eyes lit up at that. "Does that mean we will be able to find out the truth of Mr. Lore and Professor Randall's
doings?"
Toby's tone was noncommittal as he explained, "I've instructed Tom to install a surveillance camera at Mr. Lore's
place so that we, as well as the police, can watch their interaction in real-time from here."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That sounds perfect!" Sonia clapped her hands in excitement.
All of a sudden, she frowned upon the idea that suddenly popped up in her mind.
"Mr. Lore and his wife have been making a fuss at Paradigm Co. and Fuller Group in the past few days. They
demanded to see us, and if not for the security guards at the entrance, they would have broken into the building
right away. I also heard that they are planning to harass Grandma at Fuller Residence. Still, thank goodness Tom
was tentative enough to send some guards to patrol outside the residence to prevent the couple from harassing
Grandma."
"Tom told me about this matter too. Don't worry, those two are just clowns. They won't be able to cause trouble for
long. I'm certain that Mr. Lore and his wife are both guilty. We have yet to find the evidence, but I swear Mr. Lore
knows it all and will spill the beans tonight. Once he does that, their family will be reunited in jail," Toby uttered
calmly with narrowed eyes.
Sonia smiled before picking up a glass of water and dipping a cotton swab in it. Thereafter, she dabbed it on his lips
to moisten them. "Okay, time's up. Stop talking. Your lips are very dry."
He pouted and uttered in a displeased tone, "Time is up already?"
She chuckled. "Of course. We only have 10 minutes, remember? I gotta go now."
After saying that, she tucked him in and walked toward the door under the man's unhappy gaze.
Once she was out of the door, she turned around to look at him, and as expected, she met his dark orbs.
It turned out that he had been watching her without looking away for a second.
Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Sonia felt somewhat distressed, especially when she noticed the grievance and
desire written in the man's eyes.
Once Toby watched her leave reluctantly, he would have to remain alone in that cold ward without anyone to talk
to. If he couldn't fall asleep, he could only stare at the ceiling in a daze, unable to do anything.
However, what he longed for was freedom. He wanted to leave the hospital bed and the ward with his lover.
Someone as boisterous as him didn't belong in the hospital bed. He should be running the business industry and
staying by Sonia's side to protect her.
Nonetheless, there was no use in immersing oneself in imagination anymore. His current state only allowed him to
lie in a cold hospital bed. He was unable to move an inch.
Sigh. Sonia picked up the clipboard and wrote a few words on it before holding it up for the man to read. Don't be
sad. I'll stop by whenever I'm free.
Even though she couldn't go in, she could still accompany him outside.
Sure enough, Toby felt lighter after reading her message.
Sonia smiled, lowered her head, and continued writing, Tim told me to get my eyes checked. I will come back after
that.
Toby nodded in acknowledgment.
She waved at him, put away the board, and left.
She thought the eye checkup wouldn't take too long, so she didn't expect to come out after two hours and figured
that Toby was probably going to sulk again.
Perhaps, he might even wonder whether she had broken her promise to him again.
With a sigh, Sonia rubbed her temples and went to Toby's ward.
Regardless of whether that b*stard had already fallen asleep, she should still keep her promise and accompany him
in the ward. She would have a great excuse if he decided to ask her about it when he woke up tomorrow.
"What am I going to do? What am I going to do…"
Just as Sonia walked toward the elevator after leaving the ophthalmology department, she suddenly heard a sad
and desperate cry coming from her right.
A desperate cry wasn't uncommon to hear in a hospital. Thus, it was none of her business. At most, she would just
sympathize with that person and walk past them.
However, the cry sounded very familiar to Sonia.
The voice belonged to Titus' wife, Julia Ramsay. If Julia was crying in such a heartbroken tone, she had encountered
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething terrible.
Moreover, they were currently in the hospital. Sonia heard from Toby some time ago that Titus was hospitalized due
to his health deterioration.
Could that mean Julia was crying for Titus?
Could Titus be dead?
Sonia's eyes lit up as she hurried toward the direction of the cry.
Sure enough, on a bench outside a consultation room, she saw Julia sitting there, covering her face as she cried
uncontrollably.
Sonia stopped opposite Julia, leaned against the cold wall with her arms folded, and questioned indifferently,
"What's wrong? Why are you crying like that, Mrs. Gray? Is it because President Gray has passed away? If so, it
would be a miracle."
Hearing that, Julia choked and quickly put down her hands before raising her head and glaring at Sonia. "It's you!
How dare you curse my husband?"
Sonia blinked her eyes, expressing her innocence. "No. I didn't curse President Gray. I just made a bold guess after
watching you bawl. Your desperate cries make me imagine the worst."
"You—" Julia trembled due to anger. She pointed at Sonia but was speechless due to rage.
Brushing her long hair, Sonia beamed. "What? President Gray isn't dead yet, I suppose. What a pity. It would be
great if he died. It'll save me from getting my revenge."
Julia's eyes were scarlet as she cursed, "You evil brat!"
"Are you calling me evil?" Sonia covered her lips and laughed until tears streamed down her cheeks. "Mrs. Gray, if I
am evil, what about your husband and your adopted daughter? Your husband was jealous of my father back then,
so he stole Paradigm Co.'s confidential data 20 years ago, causing an employee of Paradigm to commit suicide by
jumping off the building. My father had no choice but to risk taking your child away for revenge, but your family
refused to stop your vicious acts. Seven years ago, you almost made Paradigm Co. bankrupt and forced my father
to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Are those acts not considered evil?"
