Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 979

When Titus' kidneys failed, he thought that it was just pure misfortune that he was struck with the illness and did not even think that it might have been due to his genetics.

It was really close now that they thought about it; still, they should be able to make it in time.

Rubbing his forehead, Toby replied, 'Okay. Do you have any news on Titus' kidney replacement?' he asked Tim.

Even though Tim was not treating Titus, it was child's play for an executive like him in the hospital to get a hold of a patient's condition.

Looking at Toby's question, he simply typed on the keyboard a few times before the answer popped up. 'Nope!' he replied.

The answer did not surprise him too much as Toby's expression maintained. This was because he already had the answer as he merely wanted Tim's confirmation.

Toby then glanced at the woman who was busy eating. Seeing that she was not paying any attention to him, he typed, 'You mentioned that this is hereditary to each third generation.

Does this mean that after every third generation, there will be a descendant with this illness?"

If that was the case, then he could relax a little. After all, if Titus had contracted the illness, that meant that Sonia should be safe.

Yet, Tim, who saw Toby's question, laughed as he rolled his eyes and used the voice message function. "What makes you think so? There's no set rule for hereditary diseases. If it really were to befall someone every three generations, that patient's family can relax, but things like this can happen to anyone at any time. Some hereditary diseases have patients in every generation while some might have it after countless generations. All in all, this isn't something that can be pre-determined with time."

Converting the voice message into words, Toby felt his heart sink upon seeing Tim's explanation. So, it doesn't religiously happen every three generations. Titus just happens to be the unlucky one who contracted this genetic illness after three generations. This means that there is still a high possibility that Sonia might contract it.

Toby clenched his fist and stopped asking.

Yet, it was Tim who became curious

and asked, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about the hereditary condition of the Grays?"

His question made Toby pursed his lips. "Have you forgotten that Little Leaf is Titus’ daughter?"

In fact, he did mention this to Tim in the past.

The reply had dilated Tim's pupils as he suddenly became stern. He was originally lying on the chair lazily before springing up into an upright position; it was obvious how shocking Toby's words were. Right. I already knew that Titus is Sonia's biological father. I actually did not consider that she might inherit this kidney failure disease... and I call myself a doctor.

Adjusting his glasses, Tim replied, 'Bring Sonia to the hospital if you have time. I'll do a full-body checkup for her personally."

His words made Toby's tightly clenched forehead slightly relax as he typed, 'That's what I was thinking too; I'll bring her in tomorrow. Since she still doesn't know her relationship with Titus, I'll just lie to her and say that I want her to do a full-body checkup to ensure that she won't just collapse suddenly. Make sure to keep this a secret.'

Tim sneered. 'I don't need you to remind me of that. Okay, let's end the conversation here. I'm going to the nephrology department to take a look at Titus’ medical records, to be on the safe side.'

Replying with a simple 'Okay', Toby kept his cell phone aside, yet he could not seem to settle his nervous heart as he felt stuffy inside.

His action made Sonia turn to look at him. "Are you done talking with Tom?"

"Yup," he lied without batting an eye.

Since she did not suspect him at all from the start, she naturally could not detect that the man was lying. Hearing that both men were finished with the conversation, she nodded and did not ask anything else as she only placed some food onto his plate. "Alright. Since you're finished, it's time to eat. You didn't really touch your food earlier."

The woman's concern made Toby smile and reply gently, "Sure."
