Chapter 1346Chapter 1346
Left with no choice, Sonia could only stifle her words and wait for Charles to hang up the call. Two
minutes later, Charles' expression changed as he appeared apprehensive. "I got it. I'm heading over
right now."
The next instant, he turned around to leave without even packing up his stuff. Sonia called out to him,
"What's wrong, Charles?"
Charles stopped in his tracks, for he suddenly remembered that Sonia was still around. He hurriedly
said, "I'm in a hurry, Sonny, so I'll take my leave now. Please help me pack up everything and ask
someone to send it to my company. Alright, I have to get going now."
Following that, he dashed out of the office. Sonia had just raised her hand to stop him when he
disappeared in a rush. She put down her hand, feeling helpless. In the end, she still couldn't tell him
what she wanted to say. She let out a sigh. I'll talk to him about it when we meet again, then.
After stroking her forehead, she walked up to Charles' desk and helped him pack up his stuff. He didn't
have many things, so everything could be stuffed into a box.
Sonia then told Lina to come in and asked her to get someone to send the box to Lane Corporation
later. Lina agreed to it and picked up the box. However, instead of leaving, she stared fixedly at Sonia.
Knowing what she wanted to ask, Sonia smiled helplessly. "I'm sorry. I didn't get to ask him about it as
he left in a hurry after answering a call. We'll have to wait until next time." "I see." Lina sighed dejectedly. "There was nothing you could do anyway."
Sonia consoled her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of it."
Lina nodded and left the place with the box. As Sonia looked around the empty office, she felt lonely all
of a sudden. Then, she sat down on the chair and sent a message to Toby, telling him that she had
started work.
Before she left home in the morning, Toby had asked her to do so. He insisted that she had to send him
a message when she started working so that he could rest assured. She had to let him know that she
had arrived at the company safely.
It went to show that the previous incident had traumatized him. Now, he no longer let the bodyguards
follow her in secret. Instead, they directly followed behind her car so that they could always protect her.
Presently, the two bodyguards were standing in the lobby of Paradigm Co., waiting for her to get off
work so that they could escort her to the hospital.
Despite that, Toby was still worried about her safety. She had to personally send him a message to tell
him that she had arrived at the company. Otherwise, he could never set his mind at ease even though
the bodyguards already informed him that they had successfully sent her to the company.
In fact, Toby had been waiting to hear from her. The instant he received the message, he gave her a
call and questioned, "Why did you only send me a message now? The bodyguards informed me about
your arrival 30 minutes ago." Hearing the displeasure in the man's voice, Sonia hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I was held up
by something."
"What was it?" he asked.
Sonia didn't intend to hide it from him, so she told him that she talked with Charles.
Hearing that, Toby snorted. "Why did you even talk to him for so long? You should have dismissed him
and got him to leave."
Sonia rolled her eyes. "He's helped me manage the company for a long time. It would've been
inappropriate if I just dismissed him. It's as if I've abandoned him after making use of him."
"So what if that's the case?" Toby shrugged.
Torn between tears and laughter, Sonia decided not to dwell on this topic. After drinking some water,
she asked caringly, "How are you feeling today?"
After a moment of silence, Toby replied, "Not good."
Sonia hurriedly put down the cup and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What happened? Do you
feel any discomfort in your heart?"
Hearing her anxious voice, Toby felt guilty and coughed. "No."
"What's wrong, then?" Sonia scowled. "You have to tell me why you're feeling unwell. Don't make me
worry." She was ready to head to the hospital. Toby parted his lips and replied, "I'm not feeling unwell. It's just that I feel terrible when you're not by my
side."
In an instant, Sonia fell silent. Noticing her silence, Toby felt his heart skipping a beat. "Are you mad,
Little Leaf?" he asked cautiously.
Sonia sneered. "You know I'm mad, huh? Do you know it's annoying when you keep me on
tenterhooks?"
Toby stroked his nose and fell silent as he realized he was in the wrong.
A helpless Sonia sighed. "Toby, you should feel fortunate that you're sick; that's why I can still put up
with your pranks. Otherwise, I would've ignored you. Stop scaring me again, will you? I was worried
something was wrong with your heart again, then you told me such nonsense."
She was so apprehensive earlier that her soul almost left her body. To her chagrin, the man had only
pulled a prank on her. Therefore, it was only natural that she was mad.
"I'm sorry. Please don't get mad at me," Toby apologized once more.
Sonia snorted. "Alright, I'm hanging up now since I still have work to do. I'll teach you a lesson in the
evening." Then, disregarding what the man might feel, she directly hung up.
As Toby looked at his phone screen, he was stunned. He never expected the woman to hang up the
call just like that. Tom, who was sorting out some files for Toby, felt gleeful when he saw that. If I were Miss Reed, I
would've been pissed off by President Fuller's actions too. All of us are concerned about his health, but
he'd always scare us from time to time. That's annoying.
"President Fuller, I've sorted all the files. I'll bring them back to the company now." Tom rose from the
chair.
Toby put down his phone and grunted. Then, Tom picked up the files and left the place. Following that,
Tim came over and checked on him.
While sitting on the bed, Toby scowled with displeasure. As he looked at Tim, who was listening to his
heartbeat with a stethoscope, he asked impatiently, "When am I going to be discharged?"
Tim shot him a glance and kept his stethoscope. "Be patient. It'll be another month at the very least."
"Another month?!" Toby widened his eyes in disbelief as his expression darkened. He was visibly
displeased because of how much longer he had to stay in the hospital.
Tim went through the man's medical record and said, "Of course. Do you think it's a minor operation
and that you can be discharged whenever you want? We've estimated that it'll take you one month to
recuperate based on your current health. To be honest, if you had been any weaker, it would've taken
you two to three months before you'd be allowed to go home. Just stay right here."
Toby pressed his lips into a line.
While updating Toby's medical record, Tim said, "Don't look so displeased. It's not like I'm the one who
caused your heart disease." Toby was rendered speechless.
"Alright, the examination is over, and you're fine. Just get some rest here." Tim kept his pen and was
ready to leave.

Tim stopped in his tracks. "What's wrong?"
"Is Titus still in the hospital?" Toby asked with narrowed eyes.
Tim replied, "His wife still hasn't given up on him yet, and she refuses to get her husband discharged.
We've done our best to persuade her, but she insists that as long as her husband is still alive, there will
be hope. She's been asking all the doctors here to save her husband."
"That's naive of her." Toby put on a sneer.
Tim adjusted his glasses. "They're your in-laws, after all. It's inappropriate for—"
Toby shot him a glare.
Tim shrugged. "Fine, forget what I said. Why are you even asking about it?"
