Chapter 989
As soon as Toby heard that, he suddenly recalled that there was such an incident. Back then, he had just gone through the divorce process with Sonia and even brought Tina to the resort to take a break; Sonia and Charles had visited the same resort too.
During that visit, Tina had even poured shower gel on the floor of Sonia's cubicle, causing Sonia to slip and fall. As a result, Sonia was unconscious, but would have lost her life if he had not appeared in time. Now that he recalled the situation, the lingering fear hit him and he could not help feeling contempt for himself.
Even though he had been hypnotized into believing that he was deeply infatuated with Tina at that time, he could not believe that he would actually forsake his principles and morality as well. He had ultimately realized that Tina was the perpetrator, yet he made the choice to let the matter blow over. Eventually, he covered up for Tina—the criminal who had nearly caused Sonia's death.
Furthermore, similar situations happened more frequently than expected.
Although several of those circumstances could be chalked up to him not being in his right state of mind, he was the one who had ended up taking action. He had repeatedly hurt someone whom he truly loved all for a nasty woman and this was an indisputable fact.
As soon as Tom noticed Toby's tightly furrowed brows and the flash of guilt in Toby's eyes, Tom could somewhat haphazard a close guess and slapped his forehead in frustration. "I'm sorry, President Fuller, I shouldn't have reminded you about this. I've stirred up some bad memories from the past."
"It's alright." Toby brushed him off wearily. "Even if you don't bring it up, ultimately, the fact remains unchanged and I can't pretend that nothing ever happened just because no one brings it up."
Tom lowered his head and remained silent.
Toby had no intention of continuing the topic, so he massaged the spot between his brows and asked, "Why did Connor send his personal assistant to these two companies?"
"I'm not too sure about this yet. I made the discovery regarding that last night, but it was too late at night, so I couldn't possibly contact the bosses of these two companies and their staff involved at that hour. As such, I had to wait till this morning and made arrangements to contact them. I believe we'll get the results in no time."
Toby responded affirmatively, "Inform me of the result immediately."
These two companies were indeed linked to Sonia, so perhaps Connor intended to go after her by sending his personal assistant to visit these two companies.
"Sure, President Fuller." Tom agreed and nodded.
Without saying much else, Toby opened the car door to enter the car.
Sonia was originally scrolling on her phone with her head lowered. As soon as she saw him enter the car, she asked, "You're already done with the business talk with Mr. Brown?"
She assumed that they were discussing business matters.
Toby did not express denial and he merely lifted his chin slightly. "Yes, I am."
"President Fuller, are we sending Miss Reed to Paradigm Co. first?" At that moment, Tom, who was buckling his seat belt in the driver's seat, suddenly asked.
Toby moved his thin lips and responded, "Not now. We're going to see Tim."
"Dr. Lancaster?" Tom was slightly surprised. "President Fuller, are you or Miss Reed unwell?"
"Why do you have so many questions? Just drive." Toby frowned and there was an impatient look on his face.
At that moment, Tom drew back slightly and hastily kept his mouth shut without asking anything else.
Sonia noticed the aggrieved expression on Tom's face and she could not help bursting into laughter. "Toby, why are you being mean to him? He's just being nice."
Yeah, that's right! Tom, who was currently driving, nodded earnestly to indicate that he agreed with her words.
Meanwhile, Toby snorted. "Being nice doesn't cover the fact that he's wasting our time. I would rather he start the journey as soon as possible so that we can arrive at the hospital earlier."
"A single question is not gonna take up much of your time." Sonia grimaced in speechlessness and mentioned subsequently, "But then, will Tim have time to see us if we just turn up like that? He's a world-renowned surgeon and there are many patients with appointments to see him every day. What if he's busy today? We would have gone in vain. We can't possibly make him abandon his patients to treat us, right?"
"Don't worry. He's free." Toby turned his head to look at her. "I've spoken to him yesterday and he doesn't have any surgeries arranged for today, so he can spare some time."
