Toby nodded in agreement while Tom responded with a stern manner, “Alright, I heard you loud and clear. I’ll contact the investigation team right away. Furthermore, your mother’s photo will be sent over as soon as they verify whether the murderer’s fingerprints are still on it.”
“Alright, noted,” Toby replied with an affirmative hum.
Soon, Tom reached for his phone and contacted the investigation team, whereupon he hung up the call two minutes later and turned his attention to Toby. “President Fuller, I’ve just passed your word to them and they’ll send someone to initiate an investigation in Fredburg soon.”
In fact, Fredburg was where the Johann Family’s base was initially located and the place Toby’s mother lived in until she got married. Therefore, Tom could understand why Toby wanted the investigation team to head over to Fredburg to conduct some digging about his mother’s former lover.
“During the investigation, please tell the team to keep a low profile to avoid any unnecessary attention.” Toby rubbed his forehead, worried that his suspicion would be proven true as that would mean the person was still in Fredburg. Thus, the investigation team’s arrival could easily alarm and scare the man off before they could capture him. If that happened, it would lead to an inevitable wild-goose chase that would be nothing more than a waste of time. After all, Toby had been waiting for twelve years to avenge his father.
“Don’t worry, President Fuller. I’ve thought about that as well, so I already told them to do everything they can to avoid any unwanted attention,” Tom replied as he adjusted his glasses.
“That’s great.” Toby raised his chin as he looked up and fixed his eyes on the building. A few moments later, he averted his gaze and opened the car door. “Let’s go.”
“Sure!” Tom nodded.
……
Two days later, Sonia woke up and saw a glimmer of bright ray of light in front of her the moment she opened her eyes. Is that light? Oh my gosh! It’s really a ray of light! Although she still couldn’t make out what was in front of her eyes, she quickly understood that she was recovering her eyesight. Therefore, she clenched her fists and exclaimed in exhilaration.
In the meantime, Wanda, who was preparing breakfast, heard Sonia’s voice before immediately leaving the kitchenware aside to turn off the gas stove. Then, she barged into Sonia’s bedroom without even knocking on the door, thinking that Sonia was in trouble as she asked in a concerned manner, “Are you alright, Miss Reed?”
Upon hearing Wanda’s response, Sonia knew her excited scream must have caused a misunderstanding, so she quickly calmed herself down and looked at the door. As soon as she turned her head, she was surprised once more at the sight of a blurry silhouette. However, she was sure that the person standing in front of her was Wanda.
“Wanda,” Sonia called out to the figure and saw it moving. Oh my gosh! It’s really Wanda!
Meanwhile, Wanda only fixed her eyes on Sonia’s trembling body as she nervously approached Sonia. “Are you alright, Miss Reed? Please say something. Don’t scare me.” If anything happens to Miss Reed, Young Master Toby will lose his mind.
Upon sensing Wanda’s anxiety, Sonia took a deep breath to remain calm before she replied with a smile, “I’m fine, Wanda. I’m sorry that I scared you.”
“You’re fine?” Wanda didn’t seem to believe Sonia’s words as she proceeded to regard the lady seated on the bed. Nonetheless, she quickly became bewildered when she failed to notice anything strange upon taking a closer look at Sonia.
“Are you sure you’re really fine, Miss Reed?” Wanda couldn’t put her mind to ease, so she decided to ask again. “I heard you scream and saw your body shaking.”
“I assure you that I’m fine.” Sonia smiled once again. “The reason why I screamed is because I’m happy.”
“Happy?” Wanda appeared to be confused. “What’s the good news, Miss Reed?”
“My vision is back.” Sonia couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.
Upon hearing Sonia’s reply, Wanda was caught in a trance for a while. Then, she agitatedly asked, “Is that true, Miss Reed? Is your vision really back?”
Because of that, it infuriated Sonia so much that she wanted to stand up for Charles and retaliate, but due to her impaired sight, she didn’t dare to rock up to her company. That in itself left her feeling guilty for throwing him in a tight spot. For now, all I want is to have my vision back so that I can return to Paradigm Co. and make Asher pay for what he has done.
Not long after that, Sonia was done with her morning ablution and breakfast, whereupon she was accompanied by Wanda to the First World Hospital. While they were on their way there, Sonia had already given Tim a call to secure an appointment. Thus, he was standing at the hospital’s entrance the moment they arrived, but nonetheless, Wanda couldn’t help but be wary at the sight of Tim because she was unaware of his relationship with Sonia. Who is this guy? Does he know Miss Reed? It looks like he is here to receive her.
