“Let the servants do things like that. You don’t have to do it yourself,” Titus said as he straightened his tie and called the servant over.
“Miss Rina, let me take the trash out,” the servant said, stretching out her hands toward Rina.
In front of Titus, Rina couldn’t find any reason to turn her down, so she handed over the bag obediently. When she released her hand, she even looked a little unbearable to part with it, which made the servant glance at her oddly.
It’s just a bag of trash. I don’t understand why she looks so unbearable, the servant thought.However, she didn’t ponder over it and went out the door with the bag in her hand.
As Rina stared at the servant’s back, she clenched her hands tightly on her sides, as though she was nervous about something. But soon, she relaxed her
palms, and her entire body eased up.
Whatever. There’s only one place where all the trash in this house goes to. It makes no difference who throws out that thing. With that thought in mind, a smile suddenly spread across her face, and she regained her usual composure. Looking at Titus, she uttered, “By the way, Dad, I’m going to the hospital later with Mom to visit Tina. Are you coming along?”
Titus’ wrinkled face immediately turned solemn at her question. “That wretched girl is no longer part of our family, so there’s no point in visiting her. Tell your mom not to go.
“She won’t listen to me. After all, Tina will be going to prison soon, and she would like to visit her before that time comes. So...” Rina trailed off and lowered her head in awkwardness.
Titus snorted. “I got it. I’ll speak with her later.”
With sparkling eyes, Rina said, “Thanks, Dad.” This is great! I don’t want to visit Tina at all, but Mom keeps insisting that I should go. Now that Dad has spoken up, she should give up on that idea now.
At the hospital, Toby peered at the nurse who came in to change Sonia’s drip and asked, “When will she wake up?”
The nurse took out Sonia’s medical record and looked over it. “We can’t be sure yet. She had a moderate concussion, so maybe she’ll wake up the day after tomorrow.”
The day after tomorrow... That’s not too long, Toby thought, relieved. He was afraid that it would take a long timefor her to awaken because the longer it took, the more serious the injury was.
The nurse left after changing the drip, whereupon Toby turned to Tim. “Can Sonia be moved in her condition?”
Charles, who was standing at the side, was immediately unhappy when he heard his question. “Hey, Fuller, what are you
planning to do?”
Tim adjusted his glasses. “You would like to transfer her to another hospital?”
Nodding, Toby admitted. “Yes. It will be more convenient for her treatment if she’s transferred to your hospital.”
In all sense, First World Hospital, where Tim worked, was the best hospital in the city with the best medical equipment and facilities, and he would be more assured if Sonia was transferred over.
But before Tim could say anything, Charles snorted. “Fuller, you want to transfer my darling in the name of convenience. In fact, you just want to make it convenient for yourself to visit her. Am I right?”
Toby’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Charles as he spoke in an indifferent voice. “You can think whatever you want, but you can’t deny that Sonia can receive better treatment by transferring to that hospital.”
Flabbergasted, Charles had no argument for that. While it was true that this hospital had a good reputation, it was not as good as Tim’s hospital. Since that’s how it is, then we should just transfer my darling for her recovery, Charles thought and gruntled as he compromised.
However, Tim said, “I’m sorry to inform both of you that Sonia isn’t fit for a hospital transfer in her current condition.”
