Chapter 772 Interception
When Toby heard Sonia, he was stunned for a few seconds before he stared at Sonia in disbelief. “What did you just say? You want to accompany me to work?”
“Yeah.” Sonia nodded.
Upon getting the confirmation that he didn’t mishear her, his disbelief turned into happiness. “Why would you suddenly want to accompany me to work?”
While folding her coat, Sonia replied, “Because you’re injured.”
Toby touched the bandage that was wrapped around his forehead. “I wouldn’t call this an injury, though.”
He didn’t sustain any heavy injury that needed him to be under others’ surveillance or assistance, as he only suffered a slight scratch due to him banging the back of his head.
“Who says that it’s not?” Sonia pulled his hand away from his forehead. “You knocked your head, after all. What if you get nauseous symptoms later on?”
Who could tell if something like that would happen later on?
In short, Sonia was worried about Toby resuming work. She knew him well enough to know that he wouldn’t stop once he started working, which was bad for his body.
Thus, Sonia had decided to accompany Toby for a day so that she wouldn’t be worried about him.
“I won’t.” Toby pressed Sonia’s hand slightly. “Why would I feel nauseous when I don’t have a concussion? You don’t have to come along.”
“Are you sure?” Sonia narrowed her eyes at him.
At the same time, he pursed his lips, and a hint of hesitation flashed past his eyes before he finally nodded. “Yes.”
However, Sonia rolled her eyes. “That’s enough. You need to tell me what you really think. To be honest, you wanted me to accompany you, didn’t you? If not, your eyes wouldn’t have brightened up when you heard my question. Besides, why did you have a moment of hesitation just now?”
An awkward look appeared on Toby’s face after his lover exposed him for not being truthful.
Although he had to admit that he was pleased to know that Sonia wanted to accompany him to work, he didn’t want her to know how happy he felt, so he acted coldly.
Nevertheless, Toby didn’t expect Sonia to notice his excitement, despite what he said.
Still, he was relieved that Sonia had exposed him because he got worried that Sonia might drop the idea of accompanying him to work, and he really didn’t want that.
Not knowing what Toby was thinking, Sonia frowned and urged when Toby kept quiet. “Come on, do you want me to go with you? If you really don’t want me to go, I won’t go.”
While Toby still remained quiet, he made his intentions clear by holding onto her hand.
When Sonia lowered her head and looked at their intertwined hands, she couldn’t help but smile. “How can someone as shameless as you get so bashful at times?”
Clearing his throat, Toby replied, “My reaction varies depending on the situation.”
Sonia’s lips twitched a little. “Enough of that. Let’s get you discharged. You don’t want to take up other patients’ spaces, don’t you?”
“Yeah.” Toby nodded.
Then, the two of them held hands and left the room together. At the same time, Tom was waiting for Toby and Sonia at the hospital’s parking lot.
Upon Toby and Sonia’s arrival, Tom quickly kept his phone and went forward to help them carry their stuff.
Nevertheless, Toby didn’t have much to take with him as he was only admitted for a day, so Tom only helped Sonia carry the daily necessities she had packed for Toby.
When Sonia was informed about Toby’s accident, she reacted quickly by packing up the essential necessities for Toby, considering he might be admitted to the hospital as she thought that he had sustained heavy injuries.
Nevertheless, she didn’t expect all of the things that she packed weren’t needed at all.
Still, that was good news, after all.
