The lady in the wheelchair had barged into Toby's ward without permission and even threatened and challenged his lover. I absolutely will not forgive her so easily.
He figured that even though she ran the red light and caused an accident, she was no more than a clumsy pedestrian. He thought he only needed to ask for appropriate compensation and the proper responsibilities to be held, after which he would leave it be.
I never thought that woman would act so boldly.lt goes without question that I At that thought, Toby suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes, a vicious light flitting across them.
The next day, Sonia was roused by the sound of knocking on the door. She shifted a little in her position between Toby's arms, her eyes refusing to open. She obviously wasn't fully awake yet, so she just had her eyes closed as she said in a sleepy voice, "Toby, someone's here."
Toby opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile as he saw her curled up like a cat. "Yes, I heard it."
"Get the door, then." Sonia scrunched her pretty eyebrows as she spoke in a meek voice.
Obviously, she had forgotten where she was at the moment and thought that she was at home.
Toby embraced her. "It's fine cause he'll come in himself. Go back to sleep."
"Okay." Sonia was truly sleepy then, for she still didn't remember where she was. So, when she heard him say that she could continue sleeping, she didn't make a fuss. She grunted in response, then pulled the blanket up over her head and continued sleeping.
Seeing that, Toby chuckled lightly, then gently removed his arms from their position around her. He sat up on the bed and said toward the door, "Come in."
The person outside stopped knocking, then the handle of the door turned in the next moment.
The door swung open to reveal Tom and Tim standing at the door. When the two saw the man already up and sitting on the bed, they walked in.
Tom spoke as he walked. "President Fuller, you're finally awake. I—" "Shush!" Before Tom could finish, Toby put a finger to his lips, signaling for Tom to lower his voice. Tom gave a puzzling hum, for he didn't understand why he had to be quiet.
But soon, he noticed a mound under the blanket, right next to Toby, with long hair peeking out at the top of the blanket. The confusion inside him immediately disappeared.
No wonder he was told to keep it down. I guess someone's still asleep.
Still, Toby and Sonia were so close that they even insisted on sleeping together on the sickbed after an accident. This sort of intimacy was too much for Tom.
In contrast to Tom's inner thoughts, when Tim saw Sonia sleeping soundly on the bed, he didn't have much of a reaction.
After all, this matter didn't concern him; it was just between the two. If they didn't find it too crowded, then he, as a doctor, naturally had nothing to say about it.
"I'm here for an examination." Tim walked toward the bed and stopped next to it, taking out the medical record folder he kept under his armpit. He opened the folder, then took a pen out of the front pocket of his coat. He unscrewed the cap of the pen and began writing notes as he asked Toby how he felt.
After the questioning, he proceeded to check Toby's head. Then, he smiled and nodded as he said, "Good, you can get discharged now. However, seeing that she hasn't woken up yet, I'll allow you to leave by noon."
He clapped the folder shut and smiled as he spoke. Toby knew, of course, that Tim allowed for an extension of his time in the ward for Sonia's sake.
Under normal circumstances, he would have none of it and just take Sonia away. But now that Sonia was obviously still asleep, he could only accept it.
Tim didn't stay for long in the ward; he left right after completing his tasks. After all, he had a surgery scheduled afterward, which would take up over ten hours. He couldn't afford to delay it.
After Tim was gone, save for the sleeping Sonia, there were only Toby and Tom left in the ward.
Tom looked at Toby. "President Fuller, are you feeling better?"
Toby nodded slightly. "Much better."
He knew Tom wasn't asking about his head injury. Instead, the latter was referring to his heart.
