Since Julia was her enemy, there was no need to even be polite with her.
Sonia could think that way easily, but not Julia. As Sonia went away without even saying anything, Julia’s face fell, and she felt sad for some reason. “She didn’t even say goodbye before she left. What a... rude woman!” Julia held the thermos’ handle tightly as she grumbled.
She wanted to say something more insulting, but in the end, she couldn’t do it, so she changed her mind. Julia saw Sonia off, but she didn’t even look away after Sonia was gone. She only stared down at the ground after the elevator’s doors slid shut.
She could have closed the doors the moment Sonia went out, but she didn’t. She thought Sonia was really beautiful, and she wanted to get closer to her. Only God knew how much she had to hold back to stop herself from calling out to Sonia.
Julia loosened her grip on the thermos, but the marks of her nails that dug into her palm wouldn’t disappear so soon. Julia sighed. That press release really messed with my head. I actually almost thought Sonia was Rina. This is not good. She rubbed her cheeks and tried to sober herself up. Stop thinking about that. Stop it.
At the same time, Sonia was approaching the OBGYN department, and she heaved a sigh of relief. It was a short journey from the elevator, but she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders. Even though she didn’t look back, she could still feel Julia’s intense gaze on her, and it was almost palpable. That feeling only disappeared after she went out of Julia’s sight.
She didn’t know why Julia was staring at her that way. If it weren’t because she didn’t feel any malice in her gaze, she would have shot Julia a glare instead of leaving right away. What is wrong with her today ? That was one heck of a weird experience. Sonia shivered at this thought.
Tim had been waiting for her a long time, and when he came out to see if Sonia was there, he saw her shivering uncontrollably. He went up to her and touched her forehead. “Stop moving. You might be down with the flu.”
Amused, Sonia pulled his hand away. “No. I just thought of something disgusting, that’s why.”
Since she wasn’t feeling hot, Tim put his hand back into his coat’s pocket. “Is that so? Well, come in then.” He wasn’t interested in what she was thinking. He was only interested in three things in his life: Sonia’s safety, complex diseases, and corpses. Everything else was a waste of time for him.
Since Tim wasn’t asking, Sonia didn’t tell him what happened either. She grunted and followed him into the department.
The checkup took an hour, then Tim came back out with her results. He looked at it and told her, “Not bad. Your body’s regenerative factor is great, and you did everything the doctor told you to do. Your womb is healing faster than I expected. Keep this up, and you can bear Toby’s child in less than two years.” He uncapped his pen and started scribbling on the result paper.
Sonia was sitting right in front of him, and her face turned pink. “What are you talking about? What do you mean ‘bear Toby’s child’?”
Tim stopped writing and looked at her. “I mean what I said. You guys are dating, aren’t you?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
Tim spun his pen around. “Then that’s it. Since you guys are dating, you’ll bear his child sooner or later, right?”
Sonia covered her face. “Later. Much, much later.”
“Still doesn’t change the fact that he’s going to knock you up.” Tim reclined against his chair. “Rose was discharged yesterday.”
“I know.”
“Do you know how much time she has left?” Tim looked her in the eye.
