This isn't entirely impossible. After all, President Gray and his wife love Young Mistress Sonia so much that it's very likely for them to deal with all her previous enemies in order to make it up to her, thought Mary.
Much to her surprise, however, Titus replied, "I had no idea what was going on with that lady. She suddenly came to my ward and eavesdropped on my conversation with Julia outside the door. After we caught her doing so, she even tried to run away. Then, she shoved Julia when the latter grabbed hold of her." Although he didn't reveal the specific details, he described the incident truthfully without any embellishments.
"She eavesdropped on you two?" Mary was stunned. "Why would she do that?"
"I don't know." Titus shook his head. "We asked her about it, but she said nothing and fled after shoving Julia to the ground. Because of that, Julia's still lying unconscious in the hospital with a lumbar fracture right now and probably won't be able to walk properly for at least a couple of months!" At the mention of this, his face became even more contorted with rage. How he wished he could catch that lady and wreak brutal vengeance on her!
Mary let out a gasp of shock. "What? A lumbar fracture? That's got to be terrible!" Even she, an old woman, knew very well how important the lumbar spine was to the human body. The lumbar spine was arguably essential for a human being to walk upright; someone with an injured lumbar spine wouldn't be able to stand up even if their legs were fine, so it was obvious in Julia's case how severe her injury was. Furthermore, Julia wasn't young anymore. At over 50 years old, she was no longer as fit as she used to be when she was younger. Now that she had injured her lumbar spine, she wouldn't recover as quickly as younger people would. "President Gray, is Mrs. Gray hurt anywhere else apart from her lumbar fracture?" she asked. After all, Julia was Sonia's biological mother, so it would be better to ask about it.
Titus shook his head. "No, that's it." That alone was enough to stir up all his anger, though.
Mary let out a sigh. "I got it. No wonder she didn't come today."
"Mary, please don't tell Sonny about this," Titus pleaded suddenly. "We don't want her to get worried." On the surface, Sonia appeared to be still hating them and unwilling to resume her relationship with them, but in reality, he and Julia both knew that she did care about them. There was no way she would not feel anything whatsoever if she were to learn about Julia's injury.
However, she objected, "President Gray, I know what you're thinking, but I think it's better not to hide this from Young Mistress Sonia. After all, you two are her own parents, so she has the right to know about this. And besides, Anya holds some grudges against Young Mistress Sonia, so it'll actually do more harm than good to keep this from her. If she learns about this by chance afterward, she'll only feel even worse. After all, she'll only feel left out if everyone hides this from her instead of letting her know about this."
Titus opened his mouth to speak, but he was unable to refute her. In the end, he replied with a sigh, "Well, then, you may tell her about this, but don't make it sound too serious." In any case, it's better to keep that girl as less worried as possible.
"Okay," Mary replied as she promised him. Then, she asked, "Has Anya been arrested yet?"
"No, not yet." He shook his head. "The police said she's involved in a major case and thus can't be arrested for the time being. Arresting her now will easily ruin the opportunity, so she's still under surveillance." Despite his great dissatisfaction with such a reply, he had no choice but to put up with it at the thought that the case Anya was involved in had something to do with Toby. It couldn't be helped, since Toby was his son-in-law. Even if he didn't want to take Toby into consideration, he had to think about Sonia.
After the phone conversation ended, Mary came out of the kitchen with the phone in hand.
Sonia took off her glasses, upon which her vision blurred instantly. As she wasn't able to see clearly, all she could make out was a figure coming her way. "Madam Mary?" she called out somewhat uncertainly.
Mary replied, "It's me, Young Mistress Sonia. Are you going to stop reading for now?"
"Uh-huh, I'm gonna take a break. My eyes are tired after a long time of wearing glasses," Sonia explained with a smile while putting her glasses aside.
