Chapter 1396Chapter 1396
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookRegardless of how Sonia and the baby were, he wasn't going to go easy on that woman!
Toby made a call.
"President Fuller," the person on the other side greeted almost immediately after.
"Why didn't you keep an eye on Rina Gray? Why did you let her escape?" Toby questioned curtly.
The bodyguard was startled. "What? Did Rina Gray escape? That's impossible!"
He had been standing guard all this while and hadn't seen her leave.
"So, you didn't know about it. That's a dereliction of duty." Toby narrowed his eyes. They were flashing
dangerously.
The bodyguard trembled. He sensed danger from Toby's tone of voice. "I'll go and check on her now,
President Fuller."
"That won't be necessary. She's with me right now. Go back to the company. Your supervisor will know
what to do with you," Toby declared icily.
The bodyguard smiled bitterly.
Once he got back to the company, he would be given the harshest punishment, and once that wasover, he would never be able to be a bodyguard again.
Still, he did fail to do his job this time.
"Yes, President Fuller," the bodyguard acknowledged despondently as he lowered his head.
As a bodyguard, it was his fault for letting the person he was supposed to keep an eye on escape. He
was responsible.
He was willing to accept this punishment.
Toby hung up without saying anything else.
He walked straight over to the treatment room and waited outside. He didn't ask Mary about Rina.
None of that was important right now. What was most important was Sonia's condition.
He had to know she was alright before he dealt with everything else.
What he needed to do now was wait until he heard that she was fine.
Toby ended up waiting for three hours.
He kept standing and didn't move to take a seat even though his legs went numb. He didn't care.
Mary's heart ached for Toby, but she knew how he felt toward Sonia. She knew he wouldn't take care ofhimself until he heard that she was safe.
Meanwhile, Mary also felt responsible for this.
If I'd stayed with them and didn't go to the kitchen, then maybe that woman, Rina wouldn't have had the
chance to hurt Young Mistress Sonia.
Mary lowered her head in self-reproach.
I was supposed to come and take care of Young Mistress Sonia. It was only the first day and this
happened! Maybe I'm too old now.
Just then, the light outside the treatment room went off.
The door opened and the OB-GYN walked out.
Toby grabbed the doctor's arm. "How's my wife?"
The doctor knew who Toby was and didn't dare to waste any time as he quickly said, "Don't worry,
President Fuller. Mrs. Fuller's fine now."
Toby could finally relax. He exhaled in relief as his heart settled back in place.
Thank goodness! She's alright.
Mary was visibly relieved as well. "What about the baby?" she immediately asked. Toby looked at the doctor again.
"The baby's fine too," the doctor said. "We managed to save the baby, but Mrs. Fuller suffered a huge
shock today, so it did affect the baby a little. The baby would've been lost if Mrs. Fuller wasn't admitted
in time. Even though the baby's fine now, Mrs. Fuller's health has weakened even more so there's a
greater risk of losing the baby. I think it's best if she remains in the hospital for the first three months of
the pregnancy."
Although Sonia was currently staying in the hospital for the baby's sake, she was able to leave the
hospital and attend to her matters whenever she wanted. She could also wait until she was free before
she came back.
This meant that she was allowed to stay outside of the hospital for several days if she didn't feel unwell.
However, that was no longer going to be the case now.
"Oh, good. As long as the baby's fine. We'll take even better care of her and make sure she doesn't
leave the hospital. Thank you, doctor," Mary said with a nod.
The doctor turned to Toby. "President Fuller, Mrs. Fuller will be brought up to her room soon. If you wish
to go with her, you'll need to wait for a little while."
"I know." Toby nodded and acknowledged hoarsely, "You can carry on with your work."
"Yes, President Fuller." The doctor nodded and left.
Toby waited in the same spot for a few more minutes. The hospital staff wheeled Sonia out, but shewas still unconscious.
He hurried over and the hospital staff wisely stepped aside to give the couple some alone time.
Toby bent down. As he stared at the sickly pale woman lying on the bed, it felt as if someone was
squeezing his heart.
He had only been gone for a few hours, but she ended up getting hurt. He, her husband, had failed to
protect her.
Toby reached out and gently stroked Sonia's cheek.
Mary was emotional too as she watched from the side.
Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia have gone through too much.
When will fate stop making things so hard for these two?
Toby kept staring at Sonia in silence. He did so for about ten minutes.
At last, a nurse mustered up the courage to remind him, "President Fuller, we should take Mrs. Fuller
back to her room first. She can rest more comfortably there. So…"
In other words, she wanted him to hurry up and move out of the way.
Toby figured out what she meant. He wasn't upset as he knew that it was better for Sonia if she was
taken up to her hospital room as soon as possible. He moved aside without saying anything. The hospital staff quickly wheeled Sonia back to her room.
Once they settled her in, the nurse informed Toby and Mary about when Sonia would wake up and
what might happen when she did. Once the two of them understood everything, the nurse left.
Soon, they were all gone, and the only ones in the room were Toby, Mary, and Sonia, who was still
unconscious.
Mary stood behind Toby and expressed her guilt. "I'm sorry, Young Master Toby. It's my fault for not
keeping Young Mistress Sonia safe. That woman, Rina Gray, came in disguised as a nurse. She even
mentioned Dr. Lancaster and said she came to help Young Mistress Sonia with the check-in, so we let
her in without suspecting anything. After that, I went to the kitchen to make some soup for Young
Mistress Sonia so she could have a nutritious meal tonight. Who would've known that when I came
back up with the soup, I'd see that woman rebuking Young Mistress Sonia?"
"It's not your fault." Toby lowered his eyes.
Rina had used Tim as her excuse to come in, so it was only natural that Mary didn't suspect a thing.
Mary glanced at Sonia.
Even though Toby didn't blame her, she still felt guilty.
She decided to keep an eye on anyone that came in next time and wasn't going to leave until they left.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to feel at ease. "By the way, Young Master Toby, I don't know what that woman said or did to Young Mistress Sonia. I
haven't seen the security footage. Do you want to take a look?" Mary asked.
Although Toby had a rough idea of what Rina had told Sonia, he still wanted to know the full details, so
he nodded. "Of course."
"I'll go and get it now." Mary went to the study.
Soon, she came back with a tablet.
Toby dragged a chair over and sat down by the bed before taking the tablet.
Everything had been caught on camera. The footage clearly showed Rina getting down on her knees
and begging Sonia to save Titus.
Sonia asked why, and Rina took her makeup off before exposing Sonia's true identity to her. She even
asked Sonia to get an abortion to save Titus.
Rina said that if Sonia didn't, then Sonia was an unfilial child who failed to repay her birth parents for
bringing her into this world.
Then, Mary showed up and called for the bodyguards who took Rina away and held her captive.
Sonia seemed fine at the time. She was even able to keep her cool as she confronted Rina, but as
Toby was her husband, he could tell that she was breaking down on the inside. He knew she was
drowning in despair. This was especially prominent when Rina tried to drive a wedge between him and Sonia by purposely
telling Sonia that he took Rina's side and helped Rina.
Apart from falling apart after finding out about her identity, she was probably also feeling deeply hurt
and suspicious of me, her husband, right?
She must've been wondering why I didn't tell her anything and chose to help another woman instead.
Both things collided together and made her so agitated that she ended up in the emergency room.
