Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1369

On New Year's Day, the two stayed inside without any entertainment. They spent the entire day studying Management Studies.

This was the first time Sonia celebrated the new year this way, but she was not bored at all. After all, she had her beloved by her side. Life would never be boring if one could spend it with their loved ones.

However, the following day, she left Toby all by himself at the hospital and went over to the Lanes with some gifts to celebrate the new year.

Before she left, he shot her a mournful look. She found it so amusing that she could burst out laughing whenever she recalled his face.

"Sonny, why are you here by yourself? Where's Toby?"

As soon as Sonia parked her car, Grace came out to greet her when she heard the noise from inside. She could not but ask when she saw Sonia alone.

Retrieving the gifts from the trunk, Sonia explained on behalf of Toby with a smile, "He had surgery not long ago and is currently recuperating at the hospital, so I came by myself."

"Surgery?" Grace was significantly shocked. "What kind of surgery? Was it something major?"

"It was considered a major surgery, but it was a huge success. Right now, he just has to stay in the hospital for another two to three months, then everything should be fine," Sonia responded quite succinctly and did not plan to inform Grace of the details regarding his surgery.

It was his secret, after all.

Aware that Sonia was not intentionally trying to hide things from her, Grace no longer pursued the topic. As long as Toby was fine, she was relieved.

"Gosh. It's a shame that he's not here. I instructed the kitchen staff to prepare his favorite dishes! I noticed he enjoyed those the last time he was here, so I specifically told the chef to prepare them. In the end, he didn't turn up." Grace helped Sonia with the stuff in her hands and mentioned it quite regretfully.

Sonia revealed a smile. "This wasn't something we expected too. It's okay, though. I'll doggy bag some and bring it with me when I go back to the hospital. That way, your efforts will not go to waste!"

"That sounds good. I'll get the kitchen staff to prepare it for you later on." Grace was full of smiles when she heard that.

They entered the house, and Sonia noticed they were the only ones inside. Surprised, she asked, "Mrs. Lane, where are Mr. Lane and Charles?"

"Curtis went out for a game of chess." Grace put the items away and replied, "You must be aware that this is his only hobby despite his poor skills. He's bad at it, yet he enjoys the game. It's the new year, so everyone's free. That's why he grabbed his chess set and went out to find his mates. As for Charles, he's still fast asleep upstairs."

Sonia could not contain her laughter. "That sounds exactly like Mr. Lane's doing."

"Yes. That's why I didn't stop him from playing chess. I know well that I can't stop him anyway." Grace poured a glass of juice for Sonia and said, "Sonny, take a seat. I'll go upstairs to wake that lazy bum up. It's nearly noon!"

"Sure, Mrs. Lane. Go ahead. No need to entertain me." Sonia took a sip of the fruit juice.

Subsequently, Grace left and went upstairs.

Sonia sat on the couch for about ten minutes before hearing some noises upstairs. She lifted her head to look and saw Grace dragging Charles by the ears down the stairs.

As they made their way down, she continued to chide him for being lazy and lounging in bed on New Year's Day!

Meanwhile, he looked defeated and allowed her to berate him as she pleased. Sonia was tickled by the scene in front of her.

"Sonny, you're here!" He heard Sonia's laughter and immediately perked up. Then, he greeted her with a wave.

At that point, Grace stopped pulling him by the ears and quickly let go. She smiled at their guest. "Sonny, Charles has woken up. I'll leave you guys and check on the food."

"Sure, Mrs. Lane." Sonia nodded.

Before Grace headed to the kitchen, she glared at Charles once again.
