Toby woke up the moment Mary called out to him. When he heard that Sonia was awake, he immediately looked up.
Sonia's eyes were wide open, but she seemed to be in a daze as her pupils were a little dilated and her gaze looked a little blank.
Toby gently stroked her face as he called out softly, "Darling."
That got Sonia's attention. Her eyes cleared and brightened.
She turned her head ever so slightly to look at him before blinking and asking weakly, "W-What happened to me?"
Toby helped her up and placed a pillow behind her back to prop her up comfortably before replying, "Taylor came over. You were agitated by what she said and you experienced miscarriage symptoms."
Sonia froze as the memory flooded back into her mind.
She remembered everything.
That's right. It's just as he said. Taylor came and said that I'm Titus' biological daughter—the real Rina Gray.
Sonia couldn't accept this news, so she forced herself to quell the emotions that welled up inside her.
However, she forgot that her health wasn't what it once was and she couldn't take such a hard blow.
Thus, she ended up fainting and jeopardizing the baby.
She could still recall how it felt when her abdomen stung with pain.
"How's the baby?" Sonia became agitated once more and grabbed Toby's arm. Her eyes were red as she asked frantically, "How's the baby, Toby? Did we… lose the baby?"
She had been in so much pain at the time and didn't believe that the baby would be fine.
There was a chance that she lost the baby.
If that's true…
Sonia's head was buzzing. She was too afraid to even consider that possibility. Her body started trembling violently.
Toby sensed her fear. He could tell what she was thinking about, so he quickly hugged her to comfort her. "Don't worry. The baby's fine. Nothing's wrong with the baby."
Mary nodded and added, "That's right, Young Mistress Sonia. The doctor came in time so the baby's fine."
These words managed to quell the storm of emotions brewing inside Sonia. She calmed down and her mind cleared a little. After releasing Toby's arm to stroke her stomach, she asked, "Is that true?"
"Of course." Toby lovingly caressed her head. "You would've noticed the changes in your body if the baby's gone, but nothing's changed, so it means the baby's still there."
At last, Sonia relaxed.
That's true. If I had a miscarriage, the doctor would've done the procedure to clear my womb. I would be in pain right now.
She didn't feel any pain in her abdomen, so it meant that the baby was still there.
"Thank goodness." Sonia smiled with relief.
Toby and Mary exhaled in relief as well.
However, Sonia immediately thought of something. Her expression changed and she shoved Toby away.
Toby stumbled backward before he regained his balance. His heart sank when he saw her furious expression. He had a guess as to what had happened, but he pretended to ask cluelessly, "What's the matter?"
Mary could see that Sonia was upset with Toby and knew what he was about to face, so she quietly left the room.
An old woman like me shouldn't stick around for this.
