"Thank you," Sonia thanked him.
Afterward, the bodyguard left.
Mary went over and closed the door. "Young Mistress Sonia, would you like to take a rest? You seem a little tired."
After yawning, Sonia agreed, "Yes, actually. Please wake me up after two hours."
That was because she had a pregnancy checkup in two hours, so she had to be awake.
Since Mary knew about it, she readily agreed, "Don't worry. I'll watch the time."
"Okay." Sonia nodded before lying down in bed and falling asleep.
Meanwhile at Trifecta Hospital, Julia came back in a happy mood. Titus saw her leave with big bags in her hands, so when she came back empty-handed, he immediately knew why she was so happy. He smiled and put down his phone, asking, "Did Sonny accept the dresses?"
"She did." Julia nodded happily. "On the way there, I was so worried that she wouldn't accept them. Luckily, all my worries were for nothing. I can't express how happy I am. She also tried them on, and she looked stunning in them. I even took some pictures. Would you like to see them?"
"What do you think?" Titus pretended to be angry and glared at her.
Sonia was his daughter, too, so his love for her wouldn't be any less than Julia's.
Therefore, how could he not anticipate how beautiful Sonia looked in those dresses?
Julia knew Titus was joking, so she wasn't angry. She chuckled and gave him the phone, which he quickly accepted.
As his hands were becoming more shaky day by day, he couldn't hold the phone steadily without using both hands.
Julia watched the scene with teary eyes, distressed.
As Titus' wife, she knew that her husband had almost reached the end of his lifespan and that she would soon lose him.
Deep down, she acknowledged that he was the one having the toughest time.
Seeming to have noticed the change in Julia's emotions, Titus beckoned her over. "Come here. Let's look at the pictures together."
"Sure." Julia knew he was trying to pull her out of her current emotion so that she wouldn't think too much about it.
Unwilling to disappoint him, Julia took a deep breath and barely suppressed the sadness inside her. Then, she forced out a smile and walked over.
The two of them leaned against the headboard while looking through pictures of Sonia. While they were glancing through the pictures, they had affectionate smiles on their faces. It was a very heartwarming scene.
At that moment, a tall and slim figure that belonged to a woman appeared outside the door to the ward.
She stood outside with her ear against the door. When she heard the laughter coming from inside, her pretty face instantly twisted into a scornful expression.
That was because she heard the people inside talking about Sonia, and the tone they were speaking in was filled with pride and affection.
The woman couldn't accept that and was gnashing her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
How disgusting. They've only known about Sonia's identity for a few days, yet they're already so worked up about everything related to her. What about me? They've raised me for over twenty years, but I never heard them talk about me with such joy! What does Sonia have that I don't? Is it because she's their real daughter while I'm not?
The woman clenched her hands tightly together as her whole body was filled with jealousy, anger, and hatred.
She hated Sonia, but she hated the Gray couple even more.
Is being related by blood that important? I've been with them for over twenty years, yet I still can't be compared to Sonia, who they just learned about a few days ago. Clearly, I have spent more time with them and cared a lot about them, but in their hearts, it's always their biological daughter who is more important. How ironic.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became. Tina placed her hands on the door before curling her hand into a claw and clawing fiercely at the door with her sharp nails, which made a harsh scratching noise.
Inside the room, Titus and Julia heard that sound and stopped what they were doing. They looked toward the door.
"What's that?" Titus asked.
