Chapter 993
Toby nodded slightly to imply the resolved suspicions in his head.
Tim exhaled a puff of smoke. "So, I went to the Lancasters' Old Residence after I got off from work last night and I discovered a notebook left by my great-great-grandfather. Titus' great-grandfather had written the historical details of their family's health. The men in the Gray Family have kidney failure, but it won't affect the women even if they get married and have children with others."
A flicker shone in Toby's eyes when he heard that. There were finally some nuances on his emotionless face. "Is that true?"
"It's written in the notebook, so it should be true." Tim looked at him. "Genomically speaking, male and female genes are different. There are many genetic diseases in this world with some only passed down through either the men or women, but this possibility is rare."
Toby smiled. "In other words, neither Little Leaf nor our children will inherit the disease."
"That's right." Tim nodded approvingly. "That will be the case if everything that's written by Titus' great-grandfather is true. The women in the Gray Family won't be affected by the disease, which means their genes are healthy. That's why it won't be passed down to their children when they're married to outsiders. Thus, you should put your worries to rest. If you're still concerned about it, you can bring her over for a yearly check-up just to be sure."
"Got it." Toby nodded because he was planning to do so to avoid the worst case scenario even if Tim hadn't advised. Nevertheless, it was really excellent news for Toby as he felt relieved upon hearing the news.
Tim then gave him some advice pertaining to Sonia's diet before separating ways with him. As for the lighter, it was given to Tim. Although it was a precious item to Toby, that was it. Nothing more. Since he had decided to give it, he gave it away with pleasure.
Meanwhile, Sonia had already been waiting for him for about ten minutes at his office, but there was no sign of him returning.
She murmured with pouty lips, "This guy. Didn't he say that he'll return in just a few minutes? Why isn't he back yet? Has he gone elsewhere?"
She checked on the time through her phone and it rang at the very next second. It was an unknown caller.
Gazing at the number, she assumed that it was either a salesperson or a scammer. So, she did not pick it up as she had no intention to do so.
However, just a few moments later, she received a call from the exact same number again. It kept ringing as though it was urging her to pick it up. Sonia's brows creased tightly and before she could decline the call, the caller sent her a message while the phone was still ringing like he had predicted what she was going to do.
Ding!
A notification popped into the screen upon receiving a text, so she could read the content without clicking on it. Despite the short message, the context blew her mind and her expression fall at the drop of a hat.
It read, 'Miss Reed, I'm Connor. Are you really not going to accept the call?'
Gripping onto the phone tightly, she clenched her teeth while her heart was pounding rapidly. It is him!
Looking at the ringing phone and thinking of the message, she knew that she had to accept the call. After taking a deep breath, she swiped across the screen with her finger, which slightly trembled due to the anxiety.
