Chapter 330 Don’t Call the Police
He thought that she needed him, but he didn’t expect that she was merely transferring money for the meal. Does she really not want to owe me anything at all? It’s just a few bucks, yet she wanted to make things so clear with me.
An exhausted Toby rubbed his temples and kept his phone away. He did not accept the money transfer and simply pretended not to see it as he wanted to wait until it would be automatically returned to her 24 hours later.
“President Fuller, the upcoming appointment—” Tom’s voice sounded in the back.
Toby raised his hand and interrupted, “Cancel the unimportant ones and postpone the pertinent ones.”
As Tom knew why Toby did this, he closed the planner and answered, “Understood. Do you want to go to the hospital after this?”
Toby nodded. “Prepare the car.”
“Okay.” Tom pushed his glasses.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, the sky was already dark and drizzling.
It was after Tom parked the car that Toby opened the car door, pulled an umbrella out and stepped out. “You can get off work now; come and pick me up tomorrow morning.” I’ll be staying in the hospital overnight.
Tom gave a slight nod before he replied, “Okay, President Fuller.”
After that, Toby held his umbrella and walked toward the hospital inpatient building. When he arrived outside Sonia’s ward, a nurse on night duty emerged from inside and bowed slightly to greet him. “President Fuller, you’re here.”
He nodded. “Is she asleep?”
As she knew who he was asking about, she shook her head before she replied, “Miss Reed is still awake. She has just finished receiving the anti-inflammatory drugs via infusion.”
“Okay, got it. Go on with your work then.” Toby waved his hand. Thus, the nurse excused herself and left. Next, he stood in front of the door of the ward and knocked.
Sonia was reading a report inside the ward and answered without raising her head, “Please come in.”
Upon hearing her voice, Toby turned the handle and opened the door to enter. “What are you looking at so seriously?”
At this, she was stunned and lifted her head to ask in response, “Why are you here?”
When he heard the frosty tone in her reply, he was unhappy for a moment. While he kept the umbrella in the bucket next to the door, he answered, “I said I would come over to visit you tonight.”
She frowned at his reply. Although she remembered that he had said those words before he left earlier in the day, she had merely ignored it at that time. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the report in her hand once again. “Really? Now that you’ve seen me, you can leave.”
It was clear that she was pushing him away.
The moment Toby heard this, he pursed his thin lips. “Sonia, will you stop being so unfriendly with me?”
At this moment, Sonia had returned to the cold, unfriendly person that she was when they first divorced.
