Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 1508

Chapter 1408

"Oh, hi." Sonia smiled at him and put her bowl down. "Yeah, I have a bit of an appetite now. Was craving some seafood aglio olio, so I asked Mary to make me some. Seafood's on the menu, right?"

"Seafood is a rich source of protein, so yes, it's on the menu." He nodded. "You didn't have to stop. I was just going to check on you. If you still couldn't eat, I would've administered some nutrient infusion, but I guess that's not needed now."

"I see. Sorry, I worried you." Sonia was a little sheepish.

Tim waved his hand. "I'm on night shift today. Just here to check on you. It's good to see you feeling well."

I'm feeling better in more ways than one. She smiled. "I have so many people who love me feeling worried about me. If I can't get over this hurdle, I'd be letting them down."

"What about Toby?" Tim asked. "He's still outside."

"I know. He can sit around for a while. A little punishment for keeping this a secret from me. I'll call him once I'm done." Sonia popped another bite of aglio olio into her mouth.

Tim nodded. "Not a serious punishment, though."

" I know. He did it for my own good, so I'm not going to punish him too hard. This is enough." She smiled.

Tim asked no further questions. He told her to take care of herself and left the ward. Toby was still outside, but Tim walked away without saying a word to him.

Toby didn't stop Tim either. He knew Sonia was fine just by looking at Tim, who was calm when he came out of the ward, so he relaxed. A long, long time later, Toby felt exhaustion creeping into him, and sleepiness was starting to grasp him. Then, finally, Mary opened the door and helped Sonia walk out of the room. They walked very slowly as if they were shuffling. Sonia had just gotten out of a bad situation, and she couldn't walk too fast. It was already a miracle she could get out of bed and walk on her own.
"Oh, hi." Sonio smiled ot him ond put her bowl down. "Yeoh, I hove o bit of on oppetite now. Wos croving some seofood oglio olio, so I osked Mory to moke me some. Seofood's on the menu, right?"

They wolked very slowly os if they were shuffling. Sonio hod just gotten out of o bod situotion, ond she couldn't wolk too fost. It wos olreody o mirocle she could get out of bed ond wolk on her own.

Mary saw Toby. He seemed to be asleep, and Mary tried to wake him, but Sonia stopped her. She shook his head and took a seat beside Toby.

A faint scent brushed against Toby's nose, and the stench of antiseptic drilled into his head. Sonia! He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Sonia. He was familiar with her scent. "Honey," he said. Then he tried to touch her face, but then he was reminded of something, and he pulled his hand back.

Sonia was a little amused seeing him act so timid. She held his hand and placed it on her cheek. "I'm real. You're not seeing things."

She feels so real. Toby nodded. I'm not dreaming. She's real. She's real. "Y-You've forgiven me?" He stared into her eyes with anticipation, hoping that she wasn't mad at him anymore. She's here to see me. She's not angry anymore, is she?

"Yes, you're forgiven."

Delighted, Toby gave her a tight hug. "Thank you!"

Mary teared up just from seeing the scene. She held her apron up to wipe her tears.

Sonia patted Toby's back. "Alright, don't get too excited now. You're suffocating me."

Toby quickly let her go. "Better?"

Sonia nodded. "Better."

Relieved, Toby rested his head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, honey. I know I shouldn't have hidden this from you. I shouldn't have helped that woman, but I don't regret what I did. I did it for you."

"I know." Sonia rested her chin on his shoulder as well. "Charles and Mary counseled me, and I've gotten over it. I know why you did what you did. If anyone has to say sorry, it's me, not you. I misunderstood the whole thing. I'm sorry."

"You did nothing wrong."

"I did."

"You didn't."

"I did."

It was a stalemate. Toby didn't think Sonia did anything wrong, but Sonia insisted otherwise. She knew she was partly at fault, and Toby thought he did nothing wrong either. However, he didn't want her to feel guilty. To him, she was perfect.

Mary shook her head in amusement. "Why don't you two take part of the blame then? That's fair. You're a couple, so share the blame."

The couple exchanged a look. They thought it was a good point, so they stopped arguing and laughed. Toby patted Sonia's head, and she leaned on his chest, closing her eyes. "You've been outside for a while now. Is it chilly?"

Toby shook his head. "There's a heater here, and I wouldn't have left until you forgave me."

"Now you're just guilt-tripping me." Sonia smiled.

Toby shook his head. "No. I just wanted to apologize to you as soon as you came out."

Sonia gave a humph. "It's all in the past now, so let it go. We should go inside now. The heater can't warm you up as much as the room can, and you're still recovering. Don't want you getting sick now."

"Sure. Let's go in, then." Toby held her and stood up.

Mary opened the door for them.

Sonia led Toby to the dining table and pushed a bowl of aglio olio to him. "It's late. Mary told me you had been waiting for me for hours. You haven't even eaten anything, so I asked her to make you this."

Toby took the lid away and saw a bowl of seafood aglio olio. He was hungry, but still, he didn't pick his fork up. Instead, he looked at her. "What about you? Have you eaten anything?" He wouldn't eat unless he knew she had her fill.

Sonia was a little amused and touched. "Yeah, I have. Ask Mary."

Toby turned his attention to Mary. He was worried Sonia only said that so he wouldn't worry about her. Mary got the message, and she nodded with a smile. "It's true. She has eaten her fill. A big bowl of it, and she didn't puke."

Toby's frown disappeared. "Good to hear."

"Now can you eat?" She handed a fork to him.
