Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 244

Sonia shook her head. “I don’t think so. He doesn’t have any heart condition.” Or at least not that I know of. She looked at Toby, who was getting paler and paler, then at Tina, who couldn’t do anything else but cry. Sonia shook her head, for she couldn’t believe how incompetent Tina was. “Miss Gray, if you want your fiance to live, you should call an ambulance. Crying helps no one.”

Tina stopped crying, then she felt awkward about the fact Sonia had to remind her what to do before she even thought about calling a doctor. However, that didn’t stop her from glaring at Sonia. “Of course I will. You think I’m stupid?”

Sonia shrugged. “Very well then. Suit yourself. Dig in, Carl.”

“Sure, Sonia.” Carl nodded.

They went back to their meal without another word. Tina snorted and was about to call an ambulance, but Toby suddenly raised a hand to stop her. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine.”

“But Toby...”

“Don’t cry!” Before she could finish, Toby fought through the pain and put his hand on her face, wiping her tears off with his thumb. “I’m fine, so don’t worry.” He calmed her down gently, but his voice was hoarse. The moment he said that, Toby could feel the pain in his heart subsiding. A few moments later, the pain disappeared completely. If it weren’t for the sweat on his forehead, nobody would know he was in pain just a moment earlier.

He stared downward, hiding his shock and fury. Toby just wanted to see if the pain would go away if he did as the voice told him to, and it really did on his first try.

His heart acted up because he refused to calm Tina down, but the pain stopped once he did. Because of that, even an atheist like him felt spooked. He wondered if the same thing would happen again if he stopped doing as Tina told him to.

In the meantime, Tina didn’t know what he was thinking, but when she saw some color returning to his face, she heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re okay, Toby. Good to see that.”

Toby wanted to say something, but he stopped himself, though fury glinted within his eyes. Tina didn’t notice that, so she went back to her seat immediately.

After the manager cleared the glass shards away, he looked at Toby. “Are you sure you’re all fight, sir? Why don’t I call a doctor over?” He came here with a crutch, and he had a heart attack all of a sudden. Even though Toby seemed all better now, the manager was still worried. If that happens again and he dies here, it’ll be trouble for us.

“I’m really all right now. No need for the doctor. Put the broken glass on my tab.” Toby massaged his forehead as he spoke.

The manager stared at him for a while, but he eventually believed Toby. “Very well then. Call us if you need anything. Enjoy the rest of your meal.”

“Alright.” Toby nodded.

After the manager took his leave, Sonia suddenly chuckled, and everyone wondered why.

“Why are you laughing, Sonia?” Carl asked.

Sonia stirred her salad. “A stranger actually cared more about Mr. Fuller than his own fiancee. She believed him right away when he said he’s fine. Do you even love him, Miss Gray?”

“What are you talking about, Miss Reed? Are you insulting me? Of course I love him!” Tina slammed her cutlery on the table.

Sonia shrugged. “I’m just asking. Why are you overreacting? Oh, did I hit the bullseye? Too close for comfort, huh?”
