Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 339

Upon noticing the dazed look on Sonia’s face, Charles leaned forward and asked, “What’s wrong, baby?”

Sonia snapped out of her thoughts and was initially surprised to see how close Charles’ face was to her own. Quickly taking a step back, she averted his gaze and mumbled, “Nothing.”

Charles narrowed his eyes at her demeanor. What’s going on? Is she hiding from me?

“Sonia, can we go and see Grandma now?” To one side, Tyler was annoyed to see Sonia getting too close to any man other than Toby. As far as he was concerned, she belonged to Toby alone, and as Toby’s younger brother, he was obligated to ward off any other man who tried to get chummy with Sonia.

Sonia nodded. “Okay, let’s go.” With that, she turned to address Charles. “So I guess I’ll get going then, Charles.”

“Go on,” he replied with a nod.

Sonia gave Tyler a look, and they sauntered in the opposite direction of the elevator lobby.

This floor was dedicated to VIP wards, so it was no surprise that Rose would be staying here. “Here we are,” Tyler announced half a minute later, coming to a stop in front of one of the doors.

Sonia looked up at the plaque that bore Rose’s full name and gently knocked on the door. It opened within seconds to reveal Mary, whose eyes glimmered in relief as she exclaimed, “Oh, it’s you, Young Mistress!”

Sonia smiled at her. “Hello, Mary.”

“How good of you to drop by, Young Mistress,” Mary said cheerily. “Old Mrs. Fuller was just talking about you. She’s been calling you, but for some reason, she couldn’t get through your phone.”

“My phone ran out of battery,” Sonia explained ruefully. She had forgotten to charge it after her call with Tyler last night, and when she woke up this morning, she saw that her phone had died but chose to do nothing about it.

She had thought that she could charge her phone once she was back home, but little had she known that Rose would bombard her with calls.

“It’s alright. Come on in, Young Mistress.” Mary ushered enthusiastically as she opened the door fully to allow Sonia’s passage.

“Okay.” With a nod, Sonia stepped through the open door with Tyler and Mary in her wake.

At first glance, Rose was lying in the hospital bed, looking like a frail old person who had just drifted off to sleep. Lowering her voice to just barely above a whisper, Sonia called out in greeting, “Grandma.”

She thought the old woman had fallen asleep, but she was caught off guard when Rose’s eyes fluttered open instantly. A wide smile plastered on Rose’s wizened face when she saw her visitor. “Sonia,” she greeted affectionately.

“Hello, Grandma.” Sonia walked up to the bed and sat down next to it.

Rose took her hand in hers affably and asked, “What are you doing here, Sonia?”

“I just got discharged today, and I ran into Tyler while waiting for the elevator.

When I found out you were here, I tagged along with him so I could visit you. How are you doing, Grandma?” Sonia’s eyes searched the old woman’s face with concern.

Rose beamed. “I’m perfectly fine. The doctor said that panic got the better of me, and with my old age, my blood pressure spiked without warning and caused me to collapse. I’m all better now, and I’ll be going home this afternoon.”

“That’s good to know.” Sonia nodded, feeling reassured.

However, the lighthearted moment was quickly disrupted by Tyler’s belligerence as he interjected tearfully, “That’s not true! The doctor said that Grandma only got lucky this time, but if the same thing were to happen again—”

“Tyler!” Rose cut him off with a warning look on her face, no longer patient and affable as she signaled him to keep quiet.

Nevertheless, Sonia caught on to the insinuation that Rose’s collapse was a sign of something graver, and she pursed her lips before urging, “Tyler, go on.”

Tyler nodded and picked up where he left off. “If Grandma were to collapse because of her blood pressure once more, then she would be at high risk of getting a stroke, and she’d be paralyzed forever.”

“What?” Sonia’s eyes widened in alarm, and she tightened her grip on Rose’s withered hands. “Grandma...”

Rose heaved a sigh but resumed her gentle facade as she placated, “Don’t you worry about that right now, Sonia. With old age comes sickness; it’s inevitable.
