Julia shook her hands repeatedly. "Don't worry about it! We're doing all this for Sonny. It's my job. Besides, I have a lot of nourishing recipes for pregnant women. If you're willing to learn, I can teach you."
"Oh? You have a lot of nourishing recipes?" Mary was surprised to hear that.
Julia chuckled in embarrassment. "Titus and I were not fit to have children initially, but we were eager to bear one. Hence, I consulted numerous medical professionals and tried numerous dietary supplements to improve my overall health in preparation for IVF. After giving birth to Sonny, my body condition declined, so Titus sought advice from many health experts. That's how I obtained all my recipes."
"I see." Mary nodded, feeling pretty sentimental. She didn't expect Titus and his wife to endure so much trouble and sacrifice to give birth to Sonia. Apart from that, they are indeed good parents. "Sure. Please teach me if you come again next time," she added.
Julia was overjoyed to learn that Mary was giving her another opportunity to visit the hospital, even if she couldn't see Sonny. There is still a chance that I can see my daughter if I make the trip. "Thank you. Thank you so much, Mary." Clutching her phone tightly, she expressed her gratitude in excitement.
Mary shook her head. "It's no big deal, but I must remind you that Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia have many enemies. Please be careful whenever you bring anything over. Don't allow anyone to tamper with the things you bring to prevent hurting Young Mistress Sonia."
Hearing Mary's reminder, Julia was initially stunned but quickly returned to her senses. "Got it. I will look out and never allow anyone to lay a finger on my daughter."
"Good. I'll hang up now. Please give me a call before you come next time." After saying that, Mary hung up.
When Julia placed her phone down, Titus asked, "What did she tell you? What's up about laying a finger on Sonny?"
Since it was about their daughter, she answered him truthfully.
After he heard that, a stern look was plastered on his sunken face. "I recall the Fullers have an archenemy, the Salzburg Family from Westsanshire. Recently, rumors about Homer Fuller's death back then were related to Connor Salzburg, the head of the Salzburg Family from Westsanshire. We don't know if it's true, but it is highly possible. Connor is still in Seafield, and I also heard that Toby made sure every exit of Seafield was blocked to trap Connor in here. Since he isn't allowing Connor to leave must mean that the rumors are true."
"In that case, Connor might attack our daughter to go against Toby. Am I right?" Julia felt her heart clench.
Titus nodded. "Correct. Toby is powerful, but Connor is alone here. There is no way he would confront Toby alone, so Connor will likely use other means to go against him. The only possibility, for now, is our daughter because she is Toby's lover. I can't rule out the possibility of Connor using our daughter to confront Toby."
"What should we do, then?" She became anxious upon hearing that. "If Mary already reminded me beforehand, Toby must know that Connor had such plans. What is he doing? Shouldn't he attack Connor right away? Why does he permit such a threatening man to lurk about?"
Titus sighed. "It's not as simple as you think. Firstly, because of Norman Fuller, Toby won't attack Connor outrightly because it will greatly reduce the credit left by Norman. Secondly, although the Salzburg Family are not as powerful as the Fullers, they are not lacking too far behind. If Toby takes action against Connor, the Salzburg Family will lose their head and that will affect the companies under them. Many employees will lose their jobs, and worse comes to worst; some of their families might even be destroyed. The country won't allow something like that to happen." Then, he pointed toward the top.
Despite her lack of business knowledge, Julia was still aware of what the country would approve or disapprove of. Consequently, she couldn't help but sigh. "I see, but isn't it annoying that we must leave Connor out there?"
"I'm sure Toby has his plans, so don't worry. So, we must be careful and prevent causing even more trouble to Toby and Sonny," Titus reassured her.
