Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 325

Toby’s chest hurt so much, he found it hard to breathe. She’s right. I didn’t want the child when I first found out about her pregnancy, but I’m about to lose the child now that I’ve accepted it. I failed to do my part as a father. If only I were quicker to realize my love for Sonia. If I were more alert to the fact that I had been hypnotized, then maybe Sonia and I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce. I might have been able to protect my baby, but there are no ‘what ifs in this world.

Someone knocked on the door right then. Both Sonia and Toby turned to see a nurse walking in. The nurse beamed at both of them. “This is regarding the surgery, Miss Reed. I have to speak to your family for a moment.”

“I don’t have fam—” Sonia was about to explain that she didn’t have any family members with her and that it’d be sufficient for the nurse to tell her about the surgery. However, Toby interrupted her before she could do so. I m her family.”

She widened her eyes before giving him a frustrated scoff. How shameless can this man get? How dare he call himself my family? “You can talk to me about the surgery.” Toby ignored the angry glares from the woman behind him as he turned and walked toward the nurse. They had a conversation by the doorway for a few minutes.

Sonia chose to ignore them and turned to look out of the window instead. She looked as if she was contemplating something. She had calmed down at that point, and she was recalling the incident that happened that night three months ago. If Toby was the one who had slept with me that night, then why did I wake up to find a different man beside me? Also, what about the poison that I’ve been consuming? Who was the one who poisoned me? She was lost in confusion when Toby returned to her. “The nurse was telling me about the side effects of the poison. She said that you might not be able to get pregnant for two years after this abortion.” Toby’s gaze landed on Sonia’s belly. He wasn’t supposed to tell her the details regarding the surgery as the nurse was concerned that it would trigger a strong emotional response in Sonia.

However, after giving it some thought, Toby decided to be honest with Sonia. He no longer wanted to hide anything from her. Sonia didn’t seem to have much of a reaction after hearing the news. “Oh. Is that so?” she muttered impassively. It’s just two years—that’s nothing in comparison to a whole lifetime. It’s no big deal. Furthermore, I’m not planning to get married in the next two years, so I won’t have a reason to be pregnant.

When Toby saw her calm and disinterested response to the news, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his chest. He was glad that she didn’t seem too upset by the news, but at the same time, he felt rather displeased to see that she didn’t care. If she doesn’t care about getting pregnant in the next two years, then it also means that she doesn’t plan on forgiving me and getting remarried to me in the next two years, he thought.

“When you came to look for me last night, did you manage to find out who was the one who poisoned me?” Sonia asked abruptly.

Toby shook his head. “But I have a few suspects.”

“Hmm?” Sonia narrowed her eyes. He met her gaze as he uttered the three names in a slow pace. She tensed the moment she heard the three names. “That’s impossible!” she uttered without thinking. How could any one of the three of them be involved in this?

He pursed his lips a little when he saw that she didn’t trust him. “Think about it. The three of them are the most likely to be involved in this.”

“Do you have any proof?” She clenched her fists.

“I don’t, but I’m getting my men to investigate them. They are the only three men who fancy you and who would have problems accepting that you have another man’s baby. That gives all three of them the motive to do this,” he uttered in a deep voice.

Sonia widened her eyes. “Did you say that they fancy me?” How could that be?

Toby raised his eyebrow. “Don’t you know about this?”

She parted her lips without saying anything. When he saw the look on her face, he immediately understood that Sonia didn’t know about the three men’s feelings toward her. His spirits were lifted upon this realization. Zane and the other two keep saying that they love Sonia, yet Sonia doesn’t even know about their feelings toward her. I’m much luckier than them—at least Sonia knows that I love her. A surge of pride and achievement spread across his chest, and a wide smile appeared on his face.

Sonia noticed his sudden change in demeanor, and she frowned as she wondered what was going on in his head. She eventually lowered her head as she figured that it had nothing to do with her. She fidgeted as she thought about what she had just heard. Carl, Charles, and Zane... All three of them fancy me! I don’t know what to do with this information. All along, I’ve always treated Charles as my guy best friend, and we’ve always interacted like best friends. I’ve never had any romantic feelings for him, but I didn’t expect him to... Carl is the same as well. I’ve always seen him as a younger brother, and I’ve never crossed any boundaries with him. Why would he fall for me? And Zane...
