For a moment, Sonia was stunned. Then, she realized that the person holding her hand wasn’t Charles, but Toby, so she hurriedly tried to pull out her hand.
Toby, however, tightened his grip.
Sonia was unable to break free, so her face flushed, and she yelled, “Toby, what are you trying to do!”
“Nothing. I just don’t want you to move around.” A gleam flickered across Toby’s eyes as he said, “I’ll let you go if you quiet down. Don’t move around. You’ll get dizzy.”
Sonia let out an angry laugh.
He’s holding my hand because he doesn’t want me to move? What kind of a reason is that?
Even if he didn’t touch her, she wouldn’t move around either.
But Sonia also knew that it was useless to argue with this stubborn man.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her displeasure and remained motionless. “Okay. Now it’s time for you to keep your word. Let me go.”
Toby pursed his thin lips and let go of her.
Once Sonia’s hand was freed, she immediately retracted it and placed it under the blankets before asking, “Why are you here? Where are Charles and Douglas?”
“It’s night time. Charles went back, and Douglas fell asleep in the room inside.
I’m here to keep you company,” Toby answered after sitting back down.
Sonia pursed her lips. “Who asked for your company?
“Nobody asked for my company. It’s of my own volition. By the way, there are two pieces of good news. Do you want to hear them?” Toby changed the subject.
He knew that if he continued to talk about accompanying her, she would definitely end up kicking him out of the ward.
Sure enough, as soon as Toby changed the topic, Sonia’s attention was captured, and she asked, “What is it?”
“The first one is that Titus was stripped of his position as president,” Toby replied without beating around the bush.
Sonia was surprised. “Dismissed? Why did this happen?”
When Toby saw how excited she was, he smiled. “Because you sent Tina to the detention center, Triforce Enterprise almost went bankrupt, and Titus is her father, so it naturally attracted the attention of Triforce’s shareholders. Tina has once again implicated the company, so Triforce’s shareholders jointly held a board meeting and removed Titus from his position. In the future, Titus will only be Triforce Enterprise’s largest idle shareholder.”
Although Triforce Enterprise still belonged to the Gray Family, they no longer had the authority.
For someone as conceited as Titus, this was a huge torment, because he wouldn’t have a say in something that obviously belonged to him. Instead, he could only watch as other people used it. How was he supposed to feel good about that?
“Did this happen today?” Sonia asked.
Toby nodded. “Yes. This morning.”
Sonia smiled. “Serves him right. Tina caused Titus great harm, so I’m sure Titus hates her a lot now, right?”
These two used to be a loving fatherdaughter pair.
Now, they had become enemies. It was certainly ironic.
“Oh, by the way, what’s the second good news?” Sonia propped her body up.
After lying down for so long, her lower back was sore and aching, so she urgently needed to sit and relax.
All she did was sit up, but severe dizziness struck her. Sonia groaned from the discomfort and almost fell off the side of the hospital bed.
Upon seeing this, Toby immediately got up and took a step forward; he used his body as a railing to block her, which successfully prevented her from falling off the hospital bed.
“Are you okay?” Toby placed his hand on her shoulder and looked down at her with unconcealed concern in his eyes.
“I’m okay. Just a little dizzy.” As Sonia leaned against Toby’s abs, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were closed slightly as she tried to adjust to the dizziness in her head.
Noticing how much discomfort she was in, Toby placed his hands on her temple and gently massaged it.
Sonia wanted to push him away, but she was so dizzy that she had no strength, so she could only let him do it.
