Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1405

Charles got up and headed for the door.

Soon, he was out of the ward.

Toby and Mary looked up when they heard the door opening.

"How did it go, Mr. Lane?" Mary's hands were clasped together as she asked worriedly, "Did you manage to persuade Young Mistress Sonia?"

Toby didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on Charles as he waited to hear the answer.

Charles shook his head. "I don't know. I've said all that I could, but she hasn't come to terms with it yet. It was indeed a huge shock to her. She'll need some time to think things through. Still, I think she took in most of what I said. At least, she won't be doing anything rash or foolish. Time will heal the rest. Just leave it to her. I'm sure she'll come round soon enough."

Mary sighed a little disappointedly.

On the other hand, Toby wasn't surprised.

Sonia wouldn't have taken that attitude with him if she'd been able to come to terms with the situation and forgive him this quickly.

"It's fine. You've tried your best. All that matters is she won't do anything foolish now. Everything else can come along at its own pace," Toby said.

Charles paused in thought before suggesting, "Let's see how things go tomorrow. If she's still the same tomorrow, I'll get my mother to come over. She'll probably get over it sooner if my mother talks to her about it too."

"Thank you." Toby nodded at Charles.

"Don't act as if I'm doing this for your sake," Charles retorted. "It's not for you. I'm just doing this for Sonny's sake."

"I know," Toby said with a smile. "But what you're doing will speed up the process of reconciliation between her and me, so I still want to thank you."

"Whatever." Charles shrugged. "It's getting late. I should get back. I'll keep my phone on tonight so if anything happens to Sonny, make sure you call me. Don't think about hiding anything from me just because of my feelings for her in the past."

"I won't." Toby shook his head.

Even though he still felt uncomfortable with Charles who was once his rival for Sonia's affections, he was not the type who'd get jealous without thinking about the situation.

He knew that Charles wasn't just Sonia's old admirer. He was her childhood friend and someone who was like a brother to her.

Sometimes, Charles could do things that he might not be able to despite him being her husband.

At times like these, Sonia needed all the companionship and consolation she could get, and he knew he needed their help.

Therefore, he wasn't going to object to Charles' presence now.

"Good. I'm leaving now." Charles glanced at the ward one last time before heading for the elevator.

"I'll walk him out, Young Master Toby," Mary said out of the blue.

"Alright," Toby acknowledged.

Mary hurried after Charles.

Toby kept standing at the door and looking in through the little window.

Unfortunately for him, the hospital bed was too far in and he couldn't see anything from his position at the door.

He kept staring anyway.

When Mary came back, she found Toby rooted to his spot in front of the door. It was as if he was a statue.

"You should sit down, Young Master Toby," Mary said with a sigh.

Toby shook his head. "I'm fine. I want to stand."

Since he insisted, Mary didn't try to talk him out of it and stood with him instead.

After a while, they heard the sound of someone crying inside the room.
