Chapter 327 Sonia’s Test
“May I know why you need this information?” The nurse stared at Julia.
Julia responded with a warm smile. “Oh, I’m a relative of the man who just walked out. He has been out and about
for the past two days, and his family is really worried about him. Since I bumped into him here, I figured that I’d ask
about him so that I could let his family know about his current situation. I think his family would be less worried
after hearing about him.” Julia had an aura that was stronger than the regular person’s, and she didn’t sound like
she was lying at all.
The nurse lowered her guard as she was convinced by Julia. “Well, that man’s wife just had an abortion. He was
here with her earlier.”
“An abortion?!” Julia widened her eyes.
The nurse frowned at this. “You’re at the hospital wards, Miss. Please keep your volume down.”
“I’m sorry. I was just too surprised.” Julia forced a smile before turning away from the nurse. A look of utter
bewilderment filled her face as she walked off. Did Sonia get pregnant with Toby’s child? When did that happen?
Julia clutched onto her thermos in one hand as she listened to her heart pounding against her chest. Judging by the
way Sonia looked in the past two days, it doesn’t seem like there have been any significant changes to her belly. I’m
sure she has only been pregnant for a short while—probably less than three months pregnant. Toby and Sonia’s
divorce also happened about three months ago. In that case, it’s highly likely that Toby had secretly gotten Sonia
pregnant after the divorce!
If that were actually the case, everything would work out for the Grays as they would be able to go to the Fullers
and demand an explanation. The Gray Family had been ridiculed and mocked by the public ever since Toby
announced his decision to cancel the marriage. More importantly, Triforce Enterprise’s rank in Seafield had fallen
by 20 places after Fuller Group withdrew all of their partnerships with them. The business had continued to go
downhill due to the scandals surrounding Tina’s attempt to harm Sonia. At this point, Triforce Enterprise was about
to go bankrupt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, the cancellation of the marriage was the spark that started this entire issue. If they hadn’t ended the
marriage, the partnerships between the two businesses would have gone on. If the news of Tina harming Sonia
came out then, Triforce Enterprise might have still been able to manage the situation.
Julia figured that she would get Titus to use this information to their benefit. We can recover the marriage between
the Fullers and the Grays. Even if that doesn’t happen, we could at least regain some of the partnerships that the
Triforce Enterprise had with Fuller Group. Julia’s hands shook with excitement just at the thought of that.
She instantly grabbed onto one of the passing nurses. She offered the nurse 2,000 to check on the details
surrounding Sonia’s pregnancy. Soon enough, the nurse returned with information—Sonia had been pregnant for
less than three months. If that was the case, it could only mean that Toby had cheated and engaged in immoral
acts with Sonia after he divorced her.
Julia excitedly dialed Titus’s number. “I have great news for you, Titus!” she cried.
Titus was kept busy with issues regarding the company’s capital, and his voice sounded rather dull and weak on the
other end of the call. “What is it?”
Julia explained everything to him, and his spirits were lifted the moment he understood the situation. “Are you sure
about this?” he asked while getting to his feet.
“Yes.” Julia nodded. Titus began to pace around in his office. “That’s great! I need you to find a way to get a report
of Sonia’s abortion. Then, we can pay the Fullers a visit,” he uttered excitedly.
“Got it.” Julia nodded and ended the call before returning to Tina’s room with a smile on her face.
At the same time, Sonia had just finished her bowl of porridge in her room. She placed the porridge by the bedside
table. There, she happened to realize the receipt that Toby had left behind after purchasing the food for her. She
took a look at the price of the dishes before pulling her phone out and transferring the exact amount over to Toby.
After sending the money over, she turned her phone off. She didn’t bother to check if Toby replied to her. Right
then, someone knocked on her door. “Come in,” she said while looking up.
The door opened to reveal Charles and Carl, one of them holding a bouquet while the other carrying a basket of
fruits. “We’re here to visit, darling.” Charles gave her his widest grin.
Carl greeted her in a warm voice. “Hi, Sonia.” She was pleased to see the both of them, and she laughed upon their
arrival. “Thank you for coming!”
“Here you go. Do you like it?” Charles held the flowers in front of her. Sonia narrowed her eyes when she saw the
bouquet of lilies. “You guys could’ve just come empty-handed. You shouldn’t have bought all these—I’m going to be
discharged tomorrow, anyway! I won’t be here for long.”
“Regardless of how long you’re staying in the hospital, we just thought it’d be nice to get you a little something.”
Charles placed the flowers by the side of her bed while Carl found a spot for the fruit basket. “Would you like some
fruit, Sonia? I’ll go wash them.”
“I’d like some strawberries, please,” Sonia said after taking a look at the basket.
“Okay.” Carl opened the plastic wrapper around the basket of fruits before he brought some strawberries into the
kitchen. Sonia was staying in one of the VIP rooms, the size of which was equivalent to a two-room suite. She had
her own kitchen, toilet, and balcony—the place was extremely luxurious.
After Carl left, Charles pulled his chair close to the edge of Sonia’s bed before he sat down. He had appeared
playful earlier, but a stern expression took over the moment he sat down. “What’s going on, baby? Why did you
suddenly change your mind? What made you decide to do the surgery now?” Charles was certain that something
must have happened.
Although Carl was in the kitchen, he overheard Charles’s questions for Sonia. Carl immediately reduced the water
flow from the tap. His movements grew slower and quieter as he continued washing the strawberries.
Sonia recalled what Toby had told her earlier. He thought that one of the three guys—Charles, Zane, and Carl—was
the one who poisoned me. The smile on Sonia’s face faded a little as she looked down to conceal any emotion in
her eyes. “It’s nothing much. I just happened to trip and fall. That’s why I decided to have the surgery earlier.”
“Is that so?” Charles eyed her suspiciously. He clearly didn’t believe her.
Sonia nodded. “Of course. I have already made my appointment with the hospital overseas. Why would I change
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy plans if it weren’t for an accident? I was in a bad mood yesterday and I didn’t pay attention to where I was
walking, so I tripped while walking to my unit. The fall ended up impacting the child.”
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and stole a few glances at Charles to see if there were any changes to his
expression. The person who poisoned her would most definitely know that the doctors had detected the poison in
her system. In that case, the culprit would be puzzled to realize that Sonia hadn’t mentioned anything about the
poison at all. That way, the culprit might accidentally expose himself.
Sonia was trying to test Charles to check if he was the one who had poisoned her. However, after watching Charles
for a while, she couldn’t seem to find anything odd about him. She soon concluded that Charles was innocent. Sonia
heaved a sigh of relief. Honestly, I hope it isn’t Charles or Carl who did this. Apart from Grandpa, they are the only
two people I trust. So, I don’t care if someone else wants to poison me—I just don’t want either one of them to be
the one responsible for it. If they did something like that, I would feel extremely betrayed.
Since Sonia managed to eliminate Charles from her list of suspects, she was left with Zane and Carl. Don’t let me
down, Carl! Sonia shut her eyes as she prayed silently.
Charles had no idea what Sonia was thinking about, but he simply fixed her sheets while he talked to her. “Why
were you so careless? Even if you were in a bad mood, you should’ve taken better care of yourself. By the way,
how did you end up in the hospital after falling down and injuring yourself?”
“Yeah, Sonia. Why didn’t you call Charles or me?” Carl added once he finished washing the strawberries and walked
out of the kitchen.
Sonia stared at him, and her eyes glinted for a second before she returned to her usual expression. She gave them
a bashful chuckle. “I called the ambulance on my own. I fainted soon after that, so I didn’t get a chance to contact
you guys. I’m sorry for worrying both of you.”
“You should be sorry! My soul nearly left my body when I heard that you were hospitalized.” Charles patted his
chest in an exaggerated manner.
“Me too,” Carl uttered with a nod.
Sonia scratched the back of her head. “I won’t do it again,” she said.
“That sounds more like it.” Charles chuckled once more. Sonia then pointed at the drawer beside her bed. “I want
you to open the first drawer, Charles,” she uttered.
“What do you need?” Charles opened the drawer as per her instructions.
