Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 He’s the Child’s Father

Toby wore a grumpy expression as he locked the phone and chucked it back toward the side of the bed. He felt a mixture of frustration and envy toward Charles. He was envious as Charles could drop by to visit Sonia whenever he wished to, without having to ask for Sonia’s approval. Toby, on the other hand, would never be able to do such a thing. She was once my woman, and I once had the person I loved the most in my arms. Yet, I was the one who pushed her away…

He clutched onto his chest as he felt a dull ache in his heart. Sparks of determination filled his eyes as she lowered his gaze to stare at Sonia. I’m not going to give up on her no matter what happens. She has to be mine!

Time continued to trickle away into the night, and Sonia woke up by the next morning. She frowned a little before opening her eyes to stare at the white ceiling above her head. She froze. Where is this? Wasn’t I in my condominium? How did I end up in this place? The sudden shock got Sonia to sit upright. She had to figure out where she was. However, the moment she sat up, she felt something tugging onto her hand. She turned around to see Toby holding onto her hand, his body resting on the edge of the bed as he slept.

She immediately widened her eyes as she was surprised to see Toby beside her. However, she quickly realized the odd clothes on her body. She was dressed in a blue-and-white-striped gown, which was obviously a hospital gown. Am I in a hospital ward now? She quickly pulled her hand away from Toby before she pressed it against her forehead. Confusion was written all over her face. What is going on? I was just sleeping. How did I end up in a hospital?

Her act of pulling her hand away had woken Toby up, and his eyes shot open in alert before he raised his head. Once he saw Sonia, his gaze softened a little. “You’re awake, huh?” Toby parted his thin lips as he spoke. His voice was especially attractive—it was rather hoarse since he had just woken up.

“How do you feel? Do you feel okay?” Toby got o his feet and pressed the bell above her head before he continued questioning Sonia. She shook her head while looking at him. “I feel fine, but… What am I doing here?”

“While I was on the call with you yesterday, you suddenly stopped talking. I went over to check on you and found that you had fainted, so I sent you to the hospital,” he replied.

She nodded in a dazed manner. “I see. Is there something wrong with me? Am I sick?” she asked again.

Toby moved his lips without speaking. He didn’t know how to inform her of her current situation, and he didn’t know what sort of response she would give after hearing the news. Will she be sad, or will she…

Sonia’s heart sank when she saw how quiet Toby was. She instinctively tightened her grip on the sheets. “Tell me. Is there something wrong with me?” She repeated her question with a hint of impatience in her voice. Why is he taking so long to tell me? Do I have an incurable disease or something? Sonia was starting to panic.

He looked at her and was about to say something when Tim’s voice came from the door. “You can just tell her about it. There’s no need to hide the truth.”

Toby frowned. Sonia shifted her gaze toward the man who was speaking. “What do you mean?”

“You were poisoned!” Tim uttered as he walked in.

“What?” Sonia was puzzled. “Poisoned?”

“That’s right,” Tim replied with a nod.

Sonia gripped the sheets even harder than before. “What… sort of poison?” She couldn’t recall ever touching or eating anything that could be potentially poisonous. Why would I be poisoned? Sonia looked to Toby once more. This time, he no longer bothered to hide anything since Tim had already started the conversation.

“You were poisoned with a form of chemical toxicant that doesn’t do much harm to your body. However, it’s detrimental to the child in you—it causes the child to have deformities. If you continue consuming the poison, your child might be a stillborn.” Toby’s fists were clenched as he stared at Sonia and spoke in a rather croaky voice.

She widened her eyes and subconsciously put her hand on her stomach. “D-Deformities…? A stillborn?”
