Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 765

"You have my word." Toby nodded.

Finally, Sonia smiled ever so slightly, her mood lifted. "Good. But how about you?"

"Hm?" Toby asked in a low voice.

"What about me?"

"Your back..." Sonia put on an awkward smile. "I mean, the scratches on your back..."

Toby finally realized what she was asking. Before she could finish, he parted his thin lips and answered in a clearly cheerful tone, "They're

recovering."

"That's good to hear." Sonia sighed lightly in relief, then said, "Then don't you want to know your current condition? Ever since you woke up, you haven't asked me anything about your condition."

"I just realized I didn't." Toby nodded, admitting.

Sonia pouted and gave his chest a half-hearted slap. "What's with you? I put it that way so that you can ask me about your condition on your own. You got into an accident, so why aren't you more concerned about your own body?"

Well, look at you. He didn't ask anything, as if he weren't the one who got into an accident.

Toby pinched her hand, which was still on his chest, and let out a chuckle. "Don't get mad. I didn't ask because I guessed that I was all right. If there really is something serious, you wouldn't recover so quickly from the surprise when you see me awake. This is why I'm very sure I guessed correctly that my condition is not serious. Am I right?"

He pulled her hand out from under the blanket, then guided it to his lips and kissed it.

Sonia humphed. "All right, your guess is correct. It's true that there's nothing too serious about your condition. Tom said that you fainted because you got hit on the back of your head. You will be discharged tomorrow."

"I see." Toby jutted out his chin slightly to signify that he understood what she said, but his eyes told a different story.

This excuse was probably something Tom made up to deceive her. After all, Toby knew very well how painful his heart was before he fainted.

Of course, the back of his head was also hurting, but that sort of pain definitely wouldn't be enough to cause fainting. So, his fainting naturally had something to do with his heart.

Also, he had told Tom not to tell Sonia about his heart problem, so naturally, the latter had no choice but to make up a plausible excuse to deceive Sonia.

Coincidentally, the back of his head was actually hit, so this became the best reason to explain his fainting. Also, by the looks of it, Sonia had believed it right away, without any doubt.

Toby sighed in relief at the sight. As he was thinking, he suddenly felt something on his face.

He looked down to see that Sonia had suddenly sat up and was squeezing his face with her hands. She looked at him sternly. "Toby, do you know how scared I was when I heard Tom say that you got into an accident? I was so shocked I thought I was going to die, and I almost fainted. In order to prevent myself from fainting so that I could find out how serious the accident was, I pinched my thighs hard so that the pain could keep me focused. I—"

"What?" Before she could finish, Toby quickly sat up in alarm. "You pinched your own thighs?"

Sonia blinked. "I did, to maintain my consciousness and calm."

"Who gave you permission to treat yourself like that?" Toby glared at her sternly and said in a harsh tone.

Sonia widened her eyes. "I did that all for you, and you're here criticizing me for that?"

For a moment, she felt an indescribable injustice.

Toby also realized that he was a little too harsh on her, so he softened his attitude. "Sorry, I wasn't telling you off; I just ache for you. Isn't it painful when you pinch yourself?”
