Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1439

Chapter 1339

Faced with Sonia's interrogation, Julia parted her lips, but nothing slipped out of her tongue.

Nonetheless, Sonia didn't let her go just like that. Instead, she approached her step by step and questioned, "Your adopted daughter, on the other hand, deliberately pretended to be me, made me suffer six years of humiliation, and then repeatedly threatened to kill me. I would consider myself fortunate to survive after all that, or I would have died long ago. Mrs. Gray, please answer me. Isn't your family being too cruel to me and my family?"

"I… I…" Julia's face turned pale as she stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

Truth was, she was not someone who had no morals.

In fact, she did.

She was well aware that in comparison, the Grays committed the biggest fault. It was their family who wronged the Reeds in the first place. She knew how merciless her husband and adopted daughter were.

Nevertheless, she was a member of the Grays, so despite knowing that her husband and adopted daughter were wrong, she could only stand by their side.

As she was currently faced with Sonia's interrogation, she couldn't bring herself to defend her family. Moreover, she felt inexplicably ashamed in her heart.

That realization shocked her.

She was surprised that she would feel guilty toward the brat standing before her.

Julia figured that she might have gone insane.

Just then, the sound of heels stepping on the ground echoed through the hall.

"Mom!" Seeing her mom sitting on the bench, Tina called out to her.

Soon, she noticed Sonia standing opposite her mother, and her expression instantly darkened.

Why were they together?

What were they talking about?

Afraid that her secret might be exposed, she hurriedly went over. "Mom."

"Hey, Tina." Noticing her daughter, Julia quickly wiped off her tears and forced a smile. "Why did you arrive so late?"

"There was a traffic jam on the road, so I came late," Tina said and handed over the bag in her hand. "I brought you some food. Have some."

"Okay." Julia took the bag.

Then, Tina glanced at Sonia.

She deliberately walked in front of Sonia. Since her heels made her appear taller than the latter, she completely blocked Sonia's line of sight. Since Sonia was not facing Julia directly anymore, Tina felt relieved.

"Hello, Miss Reed." Looking at Sonia, Tina forced a smile and greeted her.

Sonia glanced at her indifferently. "You don't have to smile if you don't want to. No one is forcing you."

Being unceremoniously exposed by Sonia, Tina instantly pulled an embarrassed expression.

Nevertheless, growing up with the Grays taught her many things, one was being good at controlling her expressions.

Soon, Tina collected herself and presented her usual expression while brushing her hair behind her ear before apologizing, "I'm sorry for making you feel uneasy due to my expression earlier, Miss Reed."

Sonia rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay her any attention. With that, she turned around to leave.

However, Tina stopped her. "Why are you in the hospital? I heard that you went abroad with President Fuller."

A dark light flashed in Sonia's eyes as she stopped, turned her head, and countered, "Can't I come back after leaving the country? Something came up, so I came back first. Besides, I'm not used to the food abroad, so I haven't been feeling so well. I stopped by the hospital to get checked. Is there something wrong with that?"

"Of course not." Tina smiled. "But you're in the nephrology department. You shouldn't be here if you're getting a checkup."

Sonia narrowed her eyes. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Tina smiled, walked to her side, and lowered her voice, "I don't care why you're here, but I only have one request, and that is for you to not appear in front of my parents. I hope you can grant me my request."

"Oh?" Sonia raised her eyebrows, feeling intrigued. "Why is that? I just realized you seem quite intimidated by the fact that I would show up in front of your parents. Is there some sort of reason for your request?"

Tina's eyes flickered as if not daring to meet Sonia's eyes.

"You're funny, Miss Reed. I'm not scared that you might appear in front of my parents. I just worry that my parents will get overly emotional when they see you. Nothing else."

"Really?" Sonia raised her eyebrows again. "I find it hard to believe, though. Why are you avoiding my gaze if you're not lying?"

Sonia squinted her eyes and stared at Tina suspiciously.

Tina was already feeling guilty, and when she saw Sonia scrutinizing her, she became even more flustered before turning around abruptly. "You're overthinking, Miss Reed. I'm not lying. Anyway, I hope you will agree to my request. You don't want to get hurt here, do you? I know you and my parents have a grudge against each other, so I can't guarantee that they won't hurt you if they see you, especially when my father's life is at its end now. If you don't want my father to kill you, please promise me not to show up in front of my parents again."

After leaving her with those words, Tina ignored Sonia and supported Julia. "Mom, let's go in and see Dad."

"Sure." Julia didn't hear what Tina said to Sonia earlier. She assumed that her daughter thought Sonia had bullied her earlier, so she was confronting her.

Julia got up slowly with the help of Tina and went in the direction of the ward.

For some reason, Julia turned around abruptly after taking a few steps to glance at Sonia.

Sensing her mother's movements, Tina also turned to look. Jealousy, hatred, and anxiety instantly filled up her heart when she noticed how Julia was looking at Sonia.

"What are you looking at, Mom?" Tina stared at Julia.

Looking away guiltily, Julia shook her head. "N-Nothing…"

Tina snorted softly without prodding.

Sonia naturally caught all of Julia's actions and expressions earlier, which made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.

However, she didn't think too much about it and instead entered an office.

The doctor in the office happened to be the director of the nephrology department and also Titus' doctor, so Sonia entered the room and inquired about Titus' current condition.

She was informed that Titus' bodily functions were deteriorating, and even if he found a suitable kidney, his physical condition would not support a kidney transplant, and he could only resign himself to accepting death soon. Hearing that, Sonia finally understood why Julia cried in a heartbroken manner.

After bidding farewell to the doctor, she headed to Toby's ward.

Along the way, she was a little absent-minded. Her mind was filled with the fact that Titus was close to his end and he would not be able to live long.

Logically speaking, she should be happy to find out that Titus was really going to die. She should even leap up in joy and exclaim that he deserved the punishment!

But for some reason, she couldn't cheer herself up. Instead, she felt extremely frustrated and distressed to the point where tears started pooling in her eyes.

When she touched her face, she realized tears had fallen. She didn't feel good at all.

Am I crying for Titus right now? I must be out of my mind!

Sonia quickly wiped off the tears on her hands and her eyes, refusing to accept that she had just cried for Titus.

In her opinion, shedding tears for an enemy was shameful.

She was probably the only person who would cry for her enemy's imminent death in this world!

If her father knew about it, he would probably be pissed at her.

Taking a deep breath, Sonia wiped her face and calmed the complicated emotions in her heart before returning to Toby's ward.
