Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1381

"As it should." Toby did not hide his happiness and admitted it graciously. "Not a single man can accept their wife placing such importance on a ring gifted by another man."

"Now that I've removed the ring, it won't be an eyesore anymore, right?" Sonia shot him a withering look.

He responded with a gracious smile. "Yep! All good!"

"Hmph." She snorted petulantly and uncovered the blanket to get out of bed. Subsequently, she placed the ring into her bag and planned to buy a box to store it on her way to work later. The final step would be to keep the item in her safe.

As for Toby, he sat up in bed, no longer intending to sleep. His recovery progress was great, and he could now prop himself up without constant help.

With the strength of his elbows, he could easily support himself, albeit tiring. Still, he was happy enough to do things for himself and not become a burden to Sonia.

"You must be hungry." She returned to his bedside after putting away the ring.

He nodded slightly in response. "Kinda."

"I'll wheel you over to freshen up, then I'll order breakfast for us." She pushed his wheelchair over, after which he agreed and got out of bed himself to be seated.

Throughout the process, Sonia did not offer help. That was because she knew he did not want any, which aligned with his usual behavior. All in all, Toby wanted to pertain his dignity to not become a 'useless' individual.

Since he could manage fine by himself, she did not insist but gave him the freedom to proceed.

Breakfast was delivered to them shortly, and it arrived right after they freshened up. The food was as bland as things could get. It was an unfavorable situation, but there was a lot of food that the couple had to refrain from eating. Therefore, they had no choice but to tolerate the bland meals for now. Surely, things would improve soon.

After breakfast, Sonia bid farewell to Toby and left for work.

Along the way, she drove past a shopping mall and entered a jewelry shop to buy an exquisite ring box. Subsequently, she went back into the car and took out the wrapped-up ring from her bag before placing it carefully into the box.

From now on, she would only take this ring out of the box when she missed Carl. She did not wish to see the ring at any other moment because she refused to experience sadness when reminded of his demise.

…

In a blink of an eye, a month went by swiftly. Toby's recovery progress over the month had been astounding to Sonia, who was fairly pleased by it.

Currently, he was no longer required to be hospitalized and was allowed to return to work at Fuller Group. Although he had to stay at the hospital at night, he was allowed to go out in the morning to sort out his matters.

Other than that, he no longer needed a wheelchair to get around and could stride normally. As long as he did not attempt to run or jump, there was no risk of his heart mispositioning itself.

At least on the surface now, he was a 'normal' functioning man who had nearly recovered.

Contrary to his great recovery, Sonia was in a bad state. She was not in the most suitable health condition to carry a child at the moment, but that was the reality. She had no choice but to endure the hardships and nurture the baby healthily.

Disregarding the fact that the baby was a product of her and Toby's love, she knew she had to keep the baby because the option of abortion would hinder her plans to become a mother again.

The consequence of keeping this baby was that she would go through way more discomfort than any other normal expectant mother because she fell pregnant before fully recovering. As such, in comparison to the other mothers, she would end up suffering more.

For example, she was less than eight weeks into her pregnancy, yet she was already experiencing morning sickness. Her face was as pale as a sheet from throwing up every day, and her body ached severely.
