"So, you mean that it will be best if she's hospitalized from now on to keep the baby?" Toby asked with narrowed eyes.
Tim confirmed, saying, "Yes. Her body is too weak, and her uterus hasn't recovered. She can't be on her feet for a long time outside, or else an accident like miscarriage could happen and even lead to two deaths if medical help is delayed."
Toby's pupils shrank. "Two deaths?"
That sounds serious.
"Yes, that's very likely to happen." The expression on Tim's face was very serious and he didn't look like he was kidding at all. Furthermore, he never kidded around. "Because of that, I suggest that she starts hospitalization and treatment right away. This is the best for her and her baby."
Toby held his hands into fists. "I got it. Once she's out, I'll speak about it with her. Please help to make the arrangements first."
"Okay, I'm going now." Nodding softly, Tim then twirled and left.
Left alone at the same spot, Toby kept his eyes glued on the big doors in front of him with a heavy heart that was filled with worry, waiting for Sonia to come out.
The current Toby was just like Sonia who waited for him outside back then when he was in surgery.
After almost two hours of waiting, Sonia finally came out.
Holding her belly, Sonia walked over with a pale face.
Seeing this, Toby rushed to her and held her in his arms. "How are you feeling? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
In his embrace, Sonia sounded weak as she said, "I feel better now, not as uncomfortable as earlier."
Toby led her into the seats at the side. "What are the results of the checkup?"
Resting on his shoulder, she closed her eyes a little. "The results are okay. The doctor said that the reaction was so great that I was affected and made me sick. It's nothing serious, actually."
Only after hearing that could he rest his jittery heart at ease a little.
Then, Toby told Sonia about his conversation with Tim earlier. "Tim suggests that you start hospitalization right away and rest for the sake of the baby, and I wish that as well. That way, it's good for both you and the baby. What do you think?"
Even though he wanted to make the decision directly on her behalf, he decided not to in the end because he respected her opinion.
After hearing his part, Sonia jerked up her head suddenly. "Hospitalization starts right away?"
"Yes." Looking into her eyes, he nodded.
She bit her lower lip in hesitation. "If I'm hospitalized now, what about Paradigm?"
"I can send someone to manage it for you, or you can arrange someone yourself, but whatever the method, I wish that you'll check into the hospital. Your situation now is very dangerous, and Tim said that there's even a chance of two deaths in your situation." Tightening his arms around her, he hugged her so close that it was as though he wanted to meld her into his own body.
As if there wouldn't be two deaths if he did this.
In all honesty, Sonia was shocked and scared by what he just said, and her already pale face turned even paler.
"Why is it so serious?" she muttered, blinking in confusion.
With his large palm, he held the back of her head and rested her head on his chest. "That's because your body is weak and hasn't recovered completely yet. That's why pregnancy is dangerous for you. In your current condition, you're not allowed to be going places outside or working for long hours. Honey, I hope that you'll agree to the hospitalization. Don't worry about the company. There are lots of capable people in this world. Even if you're worried, it's time to let go sometimes."
Sonia's mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. A few seconds later, she sighed. "Okay, I'll check into the hospital."
He has a point, she thought. The company may be important, but my life and the baby are more important.
Furthermore, the company had stabilized and wouldn't have any big issues due to her prolonged absence.
