Chapter 44
Toby slightly moved aside on instinci.
At this moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open from outside before Jean made her way into the room with a Thermos flask in her hands. She
was caught by surprise by the scene in front of her but soon beamed at the lovebirds “Oh, it looks like I’ve come in at the wrong time. I’m sorry for interrupting. Should I go and wait outside for a
moment?” She made a gesture to exit and
retreated a few steps.
Meanwhile, Tina’s face flushed red in
response to Jean’s words and she quickly
released him from her embrace. You
didn’t interrupt anything, Madam White.
Come on in!
“That’s good then I wouldn’t want to intrude.” Jean carried the flask into the room. “I spoke to your mom on the phone this morning and only found out that you took a fall last night. So, I immediately made you some soup before coming for a
Visit.”
She then knowingly glanced at Toby. “No wonder there was no news from Toby last night despite him staying out all night
long. It was because he was here taking
care of you.”
Tina suddenly recalled the text messages
sent by Cynthia last night and she couldn’t
help feeling a burst of anger. However,
Tina managed to hide her emotions well
hefore she mently renlied “Madam White
before she gently replied, “Madam White, don’t blame Toby for it. I was quite scared, so I asked him to stay here and take care of me.”
“It’s fine. That’s his duty!” Meanwhile, Jean
asked in concern, “Where did you hurt yourself? Does it still hurt?
“My legs are sore, but the doctor
mentioned that it’s fine.”
“Hey, you should be more careful next
time. Here, try some of this soup. This is
quite nutritious and it’s also good for your
complexion.” Jean poured out the soup
from the flask and served it to Tina,
Tina accepted it with a smile. “Thanks, Madam White!”
“If you really want to exp your gratitude, why don’t you try harder and
possible?” Upon saying that Jean winked
at Tina
“Madam White…” Tina lowered her head out while lezing bashful and her face flushed bright red.
Not only was she attractive with a soft
gentle wolce, but the main point was that
her family background was similarly as
strong as the Fullers. Therefore, the
unification of their families would bring
endless benefiis for everyone.
Jean was rather keen for Tina lo marry
Toby as soon as possible since she was
quite pleased with such a soft-spoken and
wealthy prospective daughter-in-law.
Tve been quite taken with you ever since we first met. You have such an inesistible personality!” At the same time, Jean sneered as she brought up Sonia You’re The complete opposite of Sonia! She was married to Toby for six years, but no one
“I read about her messy dalliances on the
news earlier this moming! Gosh! Her dad’s
quite a character and now, she’s behaving quite badly. Do you know that she actually
recorded a video clip to defame me? if it
wasn’t for us taking her in for all these
years, perhaps she would be living a life
worse than a pauper! Charles doesn’t have
a good character, but he’s intelligent at
running a business. I really can’t comprehend how Sonia had caught his
eyes. If I was his mom, I wouldn’t accept
such a rainhter-in-law at alli
such a daughter-in-law at all!”
Toby stood in silence by Tina’s bedside
and listenedas Jean had her say Meanwhile, his brows were furrowed and he felt quite uncomfortable.
Indeed, the Reeds had lost their company. but ever since their marriage, Sonia had never requested anything from him. She had been the perfect, dutiful wife for the
past six years in the Fuller Family.
According to their helper, Sonia had
always gone along with Jean’s words and
rever spoke back to Jean.
it was Jean who went to create a big fuss
at Paradigm Co., but someone who
worked there had filmed the scene on video. Although Toby managed to resolve
the incident by suppressing the incident, Jean had taken offense and blamed Sonia instead.
What so of he did she have wine living
win Mom at home for those suit years?! He
felt a dull ache in his heart upon realizing
that.
“Mom, Sonia and I are divorced. There’s no
point bringing her up.” An annoyed Toby
interrupted Jean’s incessant challer. He
grabbed his jacket on the chair and added with a cold look, “Since you have so much
spare time, why don’t you stay back and
accompany Tina? I’ve to attend to work, so
ITl head back to handle them at the office.”
“Okay, fine. Go ahead.” Upon hearing his words, Jean immediately fell silent and
didntidare la continue her
t
.
Meanwhile, Tinanswered in a gentle manner, “Täby be careful while you’re driving.”
As she watched Toby walking out of the
room, the smile on her face gradually disappeared bit by bit.
It was only at around 3.00PM that Sonia
finally received the other party’s reply of
“okay” after he accepted her payment.
She couldn’t seem to recall how she had
hooked up with that guy, but it seemed like he wasn’t the type to persistently disturb
Ottone in fact, he resembled more of an all person Thar’s quat loan However, there was one more thing that
had around her suspicion, wo she found
Zane’s number on her contact list and dialed it after some deliberation,
He soon answered with a lazy tone,
“President Reed, what can I do for you7”
“I know that you’re one of the bosses of
Luna Club, so I need a small favor from
you.” Sonia tried to recall the bits and
pieces that she remembered and
mentioned, “Last night, I left the room to
throw up in the bathroom and there was a
waiter who handed me a bottle of water as
he walked past me at the walkway.”
“Huh?” Zane raised his voice. “President
Recd, what do you mean by thal?”
After I drank that bolile of water, I don’t seem to have much recollection of wat happened next.” She continued, “I know my own alcohol tolcance. Besides, i threw up in the bathroom before that. How could it be possible for me to completely lose consciousness? I suspect that the bottle
of water was spiked”
“What?l”He raised his brows and felt that
things had taken an interesting twist
Toby had just messaged Zane five minutes
ago and it was only then that he was made
aware of what transpired between Toby and Sonia on the upper floor of the club last night. Furthermore, Zane had used
that period of time to delete all the security
footjal. And now, she came to him abu iltain same thing Dan’t tell me Toby went to
me me SUE ID win back serwille wid placed something mila the water? Did he direct this scene to save a dansei in
Meanwhile, Sonia was quite perplexed. Why did you suddenly exclaim?”
“It’s just that I didn’t expect you would
suspect someone of bribing the waiter.”
Zare smile before he continued, “There
are security cameras all over the place and
our wait staff have undergone stringent
background checks before being offered a
position.”
“Please just ask that watter and let me
know if you have any news.” Sonia warned
him to even him from being nr. “Don’t ask too many questions about what you’re not supposed to know!” She hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
After work she drove back home to
Bayside Residence. As soon as she
stepped out of the elevator, she immediately noticed a youth, who was cläd in school uniform, sitting cross legged in front of her doorsteps before her brows tightened. Why is this brat here
again?
Tyler heard the footsteps and he lifted his
head to glance at her before hurriedly
getting up from the ground. Then, he
complained, “What time do you finish
work?! It’s already so late. I’ve been sitting
in front of your doorstep for almost half an
head to glance at her before hurriedly getting up from the ground. Then, he complained, “What time do you finish work?! It’s already so late. I’ve been sitting in front of your doorstep for almost half an hour!”
