Sonia walked out of the ward after tucking Toby in the bed. As she was leaving, she glanced back and was unsurprised to meet the man's loving eyes. In retrospect, their situation was slightly ironic. So, when the man got sick, he became more vulnerable and looked like a helpless child who couldn't bear to be separated from his parents. Then, she gave the man a friendly wave and a smile while sitting on the outside bench. Soon, the reluctance in his eyes dissipated when the man saw that she had sat down instead of leaving.
A while later, Tom dropped by to fill Toby in on what was happening at work. In addition to that, he also updated Toby on the progress of Miles hypnotizing Harry Lore.
However, Sonia was unable to overhear their conversation and waited patiently outside. Eventually, when Tom came out, he would report it to her.
It wasn't long before ten minutes had passed, and he rushed out from the ward. Before she could inquire, he stopped in front of her and greeted, "Hello, Miss Reed."
"Didn't Mr. Snyder come to the hospital?" she inquired.
Tom readjusted his glasses and replied, "Mr. Snyder is in the hospital, but he didn't come over. He went to pick up Mr. Quentin Snyder's heart and is planning to bring it back to their hometown after collecting it."
"I see." Sonia nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "Will he still come to the hospital in the future?"
"Yes, he will," he replied. "Tina hasn't been caught yet. Mr. Snyder already knew that Tina harmed Mr. Quentin Snyder, so he asked us to notify him after we caught her. He will definitely come over again."
"That makes sense." Then, she sighed and continued, "It is a fact that Tina killed his brother. Although he may not be able to feel family affection, their family hood will inspire resentment and vengeance toward the person responsible for his brother's death."
"You're right," Tom sighed. "After I made initial contact with Mr. Snyder and informed him about it, he remained silent on the phone for an extended period. After a while, when the name Tina was mentioned, his tone was noticeably more hostile than before. It demonstrates that he is not devoid of human emotions, but rather reacts indifferently to them."
"That's the same case with Tim." Sonia smiled and added, "Although he is a Deficient Emotional Self-Regulation patient who cannot feel emotions, I know they aren't completely emotionless. They merely don't know their emotions are controlling them. The fact that Miles resents the murderer who killed his brother means he has emotions projected onto his family. Meanwhile, Tim always looks after me because I saved him from drowning once when we were young. That is enough proof that he is also a man with emotions who has gratitude and prioritizes friendship."
Following that, he nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Tim, who wanted to approach them from the nearby corner, was taken aback by Sonia's sudden reference to him and quickly retreated. As it turns out, she does not see me as some emotionless monster but rather as a human being who possesses emotions. Then, he looked at his hands and grinned, sensing his heart pumping with excitement rather than sitting there like a pool of stagnant water. This must be the joy and excitement that people often talk about—being recognized and accepted by others.
