Talk things through? Sonia pursed her lips, knowing what Zane was planning to talk to her about. Nonetheless, she didn’t think that would be necessary as the reason she wanted to cut ties with him was not just because he held out on her but also because of his feelings for her.
In fact, Toby had told Sonia earlier that Zane had a crush on her. Thus, she had been secretly observing him throughout their interaction, although she didn’t seem to notice anything that suggested Zane’s admiration for her.
However, she didn’t think Toby was lying to her either, but in order to avoid any further trouble, she decided to distance herself from Zane because she didn’t share the same feelings that he had for her. Therefore, she reckoned it was better for her to stay away from him before he confessed his love to her so that he could slowly forget about her.
The next day, Sonia was woken up by her blaring ringtone. She extended her arm out of her blanket to reach for her mobile phone on the headboard with her eyes closed. As soon as she got her hand on her phone, she naturally slid her finger across the screen with her natural reflexes to answer the call and placed it against her ear. “Hello, who is speaking?”
“It’s me.” Toby’s eyebrows relaxed when he heard Sonia’s sleepy voice.
“Toby?” Sonia instantly snapped out of her sleepiness and opened her eyes widely, taking a closer look at the incoming call, only to realize it was Toby indeed.
“Yeah, it’s me.” Toby nodded. “Did I wake you up?
Nevertheless, Sonia only bit her lip in silence.
“I’m sorry. I thought you were already up,” Toby said with an apologetic voice.
“What’s the matter?” Sonia put the phone back to her ear and asked.
Seemingly unable to sense the lady’s indifference, Toby only chuckled and said, “I have good news for you. The man has been brought here, and he is now in Seafield.”
“What?!” Sonia sat bolt upright in her bed, but her sudden movement accidentally hurt her abdomen in the process as she hissed in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Toby heard that and asked with a concerned look on his face.
“Nothing.” Sonia rubbed her belly. “Where is he now?”
Toby was able to tell that Sonia was unwell from her trembling voice. I know she’s not well, but why is she not opening up to me? He sighed and continued to say, “He has just arrived at Seafield’s train station, and he will be taken to me shortly after that.”
“That means he will be in hospital soon, right?” Sonia asked with a pair of
furrowed brows.
“Yeah. Are you coming over?” Toby replied with an affirmative hum and proceeded to ask with a hopeful tone. Deep down, he believed it wasn’t Sonia’s own initiative to visit him the day before. After all, she met up with his grandmother earlier, so he reckoned she must have told her to pay him a visit, or she wouldn’t even have bothered to drop by.
Well, if she isn’t going to visit me, I suppose I have to do something to make that happen.
In order to see Sonia, Toby had instructed his men to bring that man to him in the hospital so that he could meet up with her. While that might not be a trick he would be proud of using himself, he was willing to cast his decency aside just to see Sonia in person.
“Why must he be taken to the hospital? Can’t you have him taken elsewhere?” Sonia clenched her fists.
“No can do. You should know that I can’t leave the hospital, plus I captured the man, and there are a few questions I’d like to ask him myself as well. Thus, your only option is to swing by the hospital.” Toby looked down with an unfathomable aura filling his eyes.
Needless to say, Sonia knew what Toby was up to for his refusal to take the man elsewhere. Nonetheless, she could only sneer at herself helplessly, as she was in no position to decide where the man should be taken since it was Toby who captured him. “Alright, understood. I’ll be there soon.” The lady responded with a glacial voice and darkened look before hanging up the call.
In the meantime, Toby fixed his eyes on his phone’s home screen while curling his lips upward. On the inside, he couldn’t believe he had to resort to some cheap and dishonorable shenanigans just to see someone.
“President Fuller.” Tom knocked on the door and came in.
“What’s the matter?” Toby kept himself
