Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1380

I'll give him some more time, Sonia thought.

Subsequently, the bathroom door opened from the inside, and Toby wheeled himself out. He noticed she was currently holding her phone in a dazed state, so he asked, "Who were you on the phone with?"

He heard her talking to someone when he was showering. There was no one else in this room other than the two of them, so she could only be talking to someone on the phone.

Sonia did not hide things from him and wheeled him over to the bed. "I was talking to Charles. I reckoned that I should let him know about Carl's disappearance since he's friends with him. It's not something we should keep a secret, anyway."

"So, what was his reaction?" He sat by the edge of the bed.

She tucked him into bed. "Charles reacted the same way as you did. He said he expected this day from the start."

"Not surprising." He leaned half of his body against the headboard. "Carl had always been transparent, so everyone could easily predict his ultimate ending."

"But I couldn't!" The gloomy Sonia lowered her eyelids.

Toby comforted her by ruffling her hair. "This isn't your fault. You were busy enough dealing with Paradigm Co., so you didn't have the energy and time to consider anything else. Forget about it, and stop blaming yourself. It's time for you to go to bed."

She looked at him and tried to force a smile as she grunted affirmatively and got into bed.

It was a restless night for her, and she dreamt of Carl. Inside her dream, he stood in a darkened spot and smiled at her. As she dashed over delightedly, he stopped her from approaching and bid her goodbye.

Following that, he turned around and headed toward the endless darkness. He took a few steps forward, and his body shimmered and evolved into stars before disappearing into thin air.

Frantic, she rushed forward to try to stop him from disappearing, but she was not quick enough. In the end, she managed to grab some glittering starlight left of Carl. Even so, she could not hold on to the specks, which vanished in her palm.

At that point, she broke down and fell to the ground as she sobbed in the darkness, inconsolable.

After wailing for some time, she heard a faint voice echoing through the dimension. Darling…

She lifted her head slowly and noticed a flash of light on top of her. Then, a slender hand stretched out from the glint toward her.

Instinctively, she reached out to grasp the hand. After gripping it, she felt the darkness around her fade and finally dissipate completely. Instead, there was a sea of brightness in return.

Sonia shivered and suddenly opened her eyes to realize she was next to Toby. The surroundings were bright because it was now daytime.

The man finally heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing her widened eyes. "You're awake!"

In response, she turned to look at Toby, whose head lowered while staring at her with a worried expression. Slightly confused, she blinked and asked, "What happened?"

"You had a bad dream." He held out a piece of tissue and tenderly wiped the side of her eyes for her. "I heard you speaking in your dreams just as dawn was about to break. When I woke up, I heard you mention Carl's name repeatedly. Then, you started to sob. I knew by then that you must've dreamt of him. I didn't plan to wake you up, but after seeing your sobs get out of control, I decided to do so. I didn't expect to fail despite multiple attempts and was worried."

Sonia noticed the dark circles underneath his eyes and knew he must have trouble falling asleep because of her. As such, she could not help feeling guilty.

She turned to the side and wrapped her arms around his waist before snuggling her face into his chest. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
