Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1319

President Fuller is in the intensive care unit?!

Rita was terrified by the realization.

That explains Mr. Brown's thunderous expression earlier. President Fuller's situation is far worse than I had anticipated. I believed he had a somewhat worse injury than Miss Reed, but it seems that it is way beyond my expectations. It's surely a potentially fatal injury. Did he get harmed because he was constantly defending Miss Reed? They were both present at the fire. Although President Fuller was seriously injured, Miss Reed was merely injured in the eye. He surely suffered the pain alone for the sake of Miss Reed. What a gentleman.

Rita grieved before returning her attention to Sonia's ward.

At that point, a middle-aged woman opened the ward door for Rita. She was the nurse Tom had hired to care for Sonia.

Rita entered the room, dropped her belongings, and then stood beside the bed to gaze at Sonia.

Sonia was deathly pale and her eyes were wrapped with gauze. It was a pitiful sight and it made Rita sad.

After Rita asked the nurse about Sonia, Tim came over in a white coat.

"Has Sonia awakened yet?" he inquired.

"Not yet," the nurse responded with a shake of her head.

Tim nodded to indicate his understanding before moving forward to check on Sonia's drip.

He decided that there was no problem with it and put his hand in his coat's pocket. "Contact us immediately when Sonia awakens."

"Will do, doctor."

Tim grunted before turning to go.

He was on his way to check on Toby.

The moment he got to work, Tim had to take care of Toby and Sonia, so it was tiring for him.

Rita didn't want to leave the hospital because she wanted to wait for Sonia to wake up so she could tell her all she had learned, especially about Asher's arrest.

As such, Rita sat by the bed to accompany Sonia. She would check the Internet now and then to see if the police had published any statements.

The visit lasted until noon when Sonia eventually reacted by coughing a couple of times in pain.

When the nurse noticed this, she quickly poured a glass of warm water.

Rita also placed her cell phone down and took a step forward. "Miss Reed."

"Rita?" Sonia inquired. She could not open her eyes, but she could hear Rita's voice.

However, her voice sounded like a pair of busted bellows. It sounded bad, raspy, and feeble. Her throat ached as she talked, and she coughed even harder.

"Miss Reed, please don't say anything and sip some water first." With the help of the nurse, Rita assisted Sonia in leaning on the bed. She then handed over the glass.

Rita took Sonia's hand at the same time so that Sonia could hold the cup correctly.

However, Sonia was becoming concerned. "What's the matter with my eyes?"

She was about to open her eyes when she realized they wouldn't open no matter what. Something, which she thought was a bandage, covered her eyes.

Her eyes were bandaged, which led her to believe that she was blind.

Am I… blind?

When she noticed Sonia becoming worried, Rita realized what was happening and quickly calmed her down. "Don't be concerned. Your vision is fine. They were smoked yesterday, so your eyes are damaged. You are currently receiving treatment, but you will be okay after that."

She did not inform Sonia that she would require eye surgery in the future.

Miss Reed is struggling. She might break down if she comes to know the truth.

Sonia was relieved to learn that her eyes were fine.

She didn't suspect Rita was lying to her and didn't want to do so either.

After all, she wanted to think nothing was wrong with her eyes. At the very least, she felt a lot better deep down.

"Please, Miss Reed, have a sip of water. Your throat will feel better, "Rita told Sonia after witnessing the latter settle down.

Sonia agreed and drank the water because she was thirsty.

She drank quickly and finished the glass in a few gulps. However, it was insufficient for her. It was only when the nurse poured a couple more drinks did Sonia feel better.
