Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1364

It was a new year's gift from his wife; Toby would open it in the room where the others were not around.

Tyler rolled his eyes upon noticing Toby's petty attitude, whereas Rose and Mary shook their head as they found it hilarious.

Everyone was celebrating over their harmonious, nuptial relationship, but the irked Jean pouted. Still, she kept silent because she knew her place in the family.

After Sonia distributed the presents, Tom excused himself to avoid bothering the family's gathering, but in vain because Rose asked him to stay.

The Fuller Family fostered the orphan since he was young; he was all alone in his family. Thus, what fun would it be if he returned to being alone on such a happy occasion?

The more, the merrier—that was why she asked him to stay. No one minded an extra companion either, so Tom stayed, and Tyler dragged him out to play crackers. Despite his reluctance, Tom could not withstand Tyler's persistence and went along with it.

Jean excused herself and returned to her room due to her reluctance to share the same space with Sonia.

Rose was happy over Jean's absence because she frowned at that unwanted long face. Waving her hand, she gestured for Jean to leave when the latter voiced her request.

Now that Rose, Mary, Toby, and Sonia were the only ones in the main hall, liveliness warmed up the atmosphere under the heaters' help.

Yet, Sonia felt the chill because she knew what awaited ahead.

"So, aren't you going to tell us what happened to you?" Rose looked at Toby while asking in a low voice.

He knew that there was no escaping from that question. Besides, the couple intended to level with the family. So, he did not hesitate to answer upon hearing that question. "Grandma, I received a heart transplant again."

Both Rose and Mary's expressions fell while Sonia's heart was palpitating. She dropped her guilty and remorseful gaze onto the floor.

"Again? Why?" A trembling Rose approached Toby to hold his hands tightly. "The surgery a few years was a success, wasn't it? The doctor claimed you can lead a peaceful life until old age, so why?"

"Yeah. What happened, Young Master Toby?" Mary asked concernedly.

Sonia rose from her seat, intending to admit her fault. However, Toby suddenly pulled her back to her seat as he did not want her to say anything. "Grandma, I didn't tell you about this, but something went wrong with my heart because of that car accident."

"What?" Rose was shocked to the core. "You mean that one which happened a couple of months ago?"

"Yes." He nodded.

Sonia gawked at him in disbelief. What does he mean by that? Why is he blaming everything on that accident? His heart went wrong because he saved me. It has nothing to do with that accident. Why is he claiming that the accident is the cause of everything? Is it because he didn't want Grandma to blame me?

She bit her lower lip as bitterness churned in her. She wished she could tell Rose the truth and take the blame upon herself, but the man kept holding her thigh. Rose and Mary did not notice his careful actions either.
