He would rather Carl stay unconscious forever.
Although that was what he thought, he wouldn't use these to lie to her because it wasn't necessary.
"I see." Sonia's gaze dimmed and she wasn't doubtful of what Toby said at all.
The rate of success is not high, huh... Well, it makes sense since Carl would have already regained his consciousness if the rate of success was higher. I don't think that Rebecca wouldn't have gotten a doctor to check on Carl as they’re on his side instead of Lucius, so does it really mean that Carl will remain unconscious forever?
It seemed like Toby had figured out what was on Sonia's mind as he reached out and guided her head to lean on his shoulder while consoling her gently. "Don't worry about it. Although the doctor can't get Carl to wake up, there are still other ways to help him."
Hearing that, Sonia's eyes immediately brightened. "Are there ways to help Carl to regain control over his body?"
He nodded. "According to Miles, there are cases where the main personality manages to get their body back and all of the cases bear a similarity."
"What kind of similarity?" Sonia grabbed Toby by his sleeve and urged.
She was willing to give it a try if there was a chance that Carl could regain his consciousness.
"A miracle," Toby stared at Sonia before he said slowly.
She was dumbfounded. "What? A miracle?"
It was obvious that she wasn't expecting the similarity to be a miracle.
Toby nodded. "That's right, a miracle. Miles said that those people in these cases are often triggered or influenced by something or someone, which subconsciously gets the main personality to regain consciousness, and that's the miracle. As long as we can find a reason to get Carl to wake up willingly, he will."
As for the trigger, he knew that it was definitely Little Leaf. If Little Leaf tells Carl that she’s willing to get into a relationship with him, wouldn't that trigger him to fight for his body's ownership? Of course. Still, I'll never He stared at Sonia intently, and his gaze was knowing.
Truthfully, Sonia also came to a realization that she could be the trigger to the miracle of Carl regaining his consciousness. However, her excitement died down because she realized that she couldn't do it.
One could call her out for being hypocritical, but she just couldn't do it because she would really become a hypocrite for doing so.
Sonia couldn’t do that to Toby, or even herself and Carl.
She only viewed Carl as a little brother, and being together with him would bring nothing but pain and suffering to the both of them.
Carl was an anxious, insecure and depressed child. Due to that, a longterm emotional entrapment would only cause him to get more out of control. By then, he might even produce more alternate personalities and things would be even worse by then.
At the thought of that, Sonia sighed before placing her hand on Toby's back and smiled forcefully. "Alright. Don’t worry, I won't do something like that. Even though I want Carl to wake up, I'll only go through with it if it's the best for everyone. I can't just disregard our future just to get Carl to regain his consciousness, right?"
After her reassurance, Toby's tense face relaxed immediately, and his gaze on her became gentle again as he planted a kiss on her forehead. "It's good to know that you think so too."
He was worried that Sonia might do something foolish to get Carl to wake up just because she was too softhearted.
Fortunately, she was still rational.
