Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1408

"Oh, hi." Sonia smiled at him and put her bowl down. "Yeah, I have a bit of an appetite now. Was craving some seafood aglio olio, so I asked Mary to make me some. Seafood's on the menu, right?"

"Seafood is a rich source of protein, so yes, it's on the menu." He nodded. "You didn't have to stop. I was just going to check on you. If you still couldn't eat, I would've administered some nutrient infusion, but I guess that's not needed now."

"I see. Sorry, I worried you." Sonia was a little sheepish.

Tim waved his hand. "I'm on night shift today. Just here to check on you. It's good to see you feeling well."

I'm feeling better in more ways than one. She smiled. "I have so many people who love me feeling worried about me. If I can't get over this hurdle, I'd be letting them down."

"What about Toby?" Tim asked. "He's still outside."

"I know. He can sit around for a while. A little punishment for keeping this a secret from me. I'll call him once I'm done." Sonia popped another bite of aglio olio into her mouth.

Tim nodded. "Not a serious punishment, though."

" I know. He did it for my own good, so I'm not going to punish him too hard. This is enough." She smiled.

Tim asked no further questions. He told her to take care of herself and left the ward. Toby was still outside, but Tim walked away without saying a word to him.

Toby didn't stop Tim either. He knew Sonia was fine just by looking at Tim, who was calm when he came out of the ward, so he relaxed. A long, long time later, Toby felt exhaustion creeping into him, and sleepiness was starting to grasp him. Then, finally, Mary opened the door and helped Sonia walk out of the room. They walked very slowly as if they were shuffling. Sonia had just gotten out of a bad situation, and she couldn't walk too fast. It was already a miracle she could get out of bed and walk on her own.

Mary saw Toby. He seemed to be asleep, and Mary tried to wake him, but Sonia stopped her. She shook his head and took a seat beside Toby.

A faint scent brushed against Toby's nose, and the stench of antiseptic drilled into his head. Sonia! He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Sonia. He was familiar with her scent. "Honey," he said. Then he tried to touch her face, but then he was reminded of something, and he pulled his hand back.

Sonia was a little amused seeing him act so timid. She held his hand and placed it on her cheek. "I'm real. You're not seeing things."

She feels so real. Toby nodded. I'm not dreaming. She's real. She's real. "Y-You've forgiven me?" He stared into her eyes with anticipation, hoping that she wasn't mad at him anymore. She's here to see me. She's not angry anymore, is she?

"Yes, you're forgiven."

Delighted, Toby gave her a tight hug. "Thank you!"

Mary teared up just from seeing the scene. She held her apron up to wipe her tears.

Sonia patted Toby's back. "Alright, don't get too excited now. You're suffocating me."

Toby quickly let her go. "Better?"

Sonia nodded. "Better."
