Chapter 1400Chapter 1400
Charles couldn't calm down. The news was too much of a shock for him.
He couldn't come to terms with it right away.
Toby didn't say anything either. He simply stood there and watched as Charles grappled with the
knowledge.
They'd been standing around for about ten minutes when Charles fell to his knees all of a sudden and
roared, "Tell me the truth, Toby. When did you find out about this? When did my mother find out?"
"I found out a few months ago, and I'm the one who told Mrs. Lane about this," Toby replied evenly as
he looked at Charles.
Charles raised his head. "You knew all this time and you didn't tell Sonny?"
"How do you expect me to tell her about this?" Toby retorted. "You're no fool. I'm sure you have enough
brains to figure out why I didn't tell her!"
Charles opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
He's right. How is anyone supposed to tell her something like this?
"It's the same reason why Mrs. Lane didn't tell Little Leaf about this. All of us who knew about her real
identity had tried our best to keep this a secret. That's why I helped Taylor when she wanted to becomeRina. If she's Rina, then it's very unlikely that people will find out about Little Leaf's real identity." Toby
rubbed his forehead. "I didn't think that she'd find out in just a few months."
"Who told her?" Charles looked up with his bloodshot eyes.
If Toby didn't plan on telling Sonny about this, then she wouldn't have found out from him.
Someone else must've told Sonny about this on purpose.
"Taylor did." At the mention of Taylor, Toby's expression became murderous once more. "She wants to
save Titus by convincing Little Leaf to donate one of her kidneys to him, so she found a way to disguise
herself as a nurse to get into the ward. She told Little Leaf everything, and that's why Little Leaf got so
agitated that she fainted and her pregnancy was jeopardized."
"It was her?" Charles balled his fists and glared at Toby. "Don't tell me you haven't caught that woman
yet or that she has escaped."
Toby stared back at Charles as if he was surveying a fool. "Do you think I won't go after the person who
did this to my wife?"
Even if Rina managed to escape at first, he could easily send his men to capture her.
Taylor didn't have help the way Tina did.
Charles exhaled when he heard that Taylor had been captured, but his gaze was still dark and
menacing. "Where is she right now? I'm going to thrash her." He wouldn't be able to vent his anger if he didn't.
"There's no rush," Toby said. "Little Leaf is most important right now. She would've been
psychologically and emotionally scarred by the knowledge that she's Titus' daughter. I'm afraid that she
might even think about taking her own life. After all, she's caught between her burden of avenging the
Reeds and the lives of her biological parents. She might choose to run away from this by harming
herself instead. That's why I called Mrs. Lane. I want Mrs. Lane to talk to her and comfort her so that
she can overcome this hurdle."
"We do need my mother. She trusts my mother a lot and treats my mother like her own. It would be
good if my mother came to talk to her. Don't worry. I'll tell my mother about this and get her to come as
soon as possible. I'll talk to Sonny too." At a time like this, Charles finally stopped being at odds with
Toby.
Why would he be in the mood to play contrarian with Toby when Sonia's life was at stake?
Sonia was the most important.
"Thank you," Toby said.
Charles waved it off. "You don't need to thank me. I'm doing this for Sonny. Can you tell me where that
woman is now? Since Sonny hasn't woken up yet, I'll go and teach that woman a lesson."
"I'll have someone take you over, but remember, she needs to remain alive. I still have use of her,"
Toby warned. "I don't need you to tell me that," Charles scoffed.
Toby didn't say anything else. He then took out his phone and made a call.
A bodyguard appeared to take Charles away.
Toby stood in place for a few more minutes before returning to the ward.
Sonia hadn't woken up yet. Mary was wiping Sonia's face. She greeted Toby when he came in.
Toby went over and took the face towel from Mary. "I'll do it."
"Okay," Mary readily agreed.
She knew that Toby was having a difficult time. He was feeling remorseful as well.
He felt guilty for not protecting Sonia, so he wanted to do something to make up for it.
Mary sighed and stepped aside before asking, "Where's Mr. Lane?"
"He went to settle the score with that woman," Toby replied as he gently wiped Sonia's face and hands.
Mary nodded as she vented, "That woman's deplorable! She deserves to be taught a lesson."
Toby didn't respond but continued to wipe Sonia's face and hands. All of his attention was on her.
Once he was done, he passed the towel and basin of water back to Mary for her to clean up. As Mary took the basin from Toby, she noticed the exhaustion in his eyes. "There's no telling when
Young Mistress Sonia will wake up, Young Master Toby. Why don't you take a nap first? You can't wait
until she wakes up. What if she only wakes up tomorrow? If you carry on like this, your health will be
affected too. Don't forget that you haven't fully recovered yet. I'm sure Young Mistress Sonia would feel
bad and guilty if she woke up and saw you like this."
Toby knew full well what he should do, but he was too afraid to sleep. He couldn't relax until he saw her
awake again.
Mary figured out why Toby refused to rest, so she tried to persuade him once more. "How's this, Young
Master Toby? I'll stay right by her side the whole time. I'm in better shape than you. You can't keep
waiting here but I can, so I'll sit with her. You can sleep right beside her for now, Young Master Toby.
That way, as soon as she wakes up, I'll wake you up too, and you'll know right away."
Toby hesitated briefly, but in the end, he agreed.
After all, what could he do in this condition?
He had only been waiting around for a few hours and his heart was already giving him problems.
Things would only get worse if he continued like this.
If that happened, would he be the one worrying over Sonia or would she be the one who had to worry
about him?
"Alright. In that case, I'll have to trouble you for now, Mary. Charles might come over later. Arrange a
room for him. If he wants to wait until Little Leaf wakes up, then let him be. If he doesn't, he can leavefirst and we'll call him over later," Toby instructed.
Mary nodded. "Alright, Young Master Toby. I'll do just that. You can go ahead and sleep."
Toby hummed in acknowledgment before resting his head on the edge of Sonia's bed, grasping her
hand, and falling asleep.
He ended up sleeping until it was dark out.
Sonia felt as if she had a very long dream. In her dream, she felt anguished and was drowning in
sadness, but now that the dream was over, she couldn't remember what the dream was about.
When she opened her eyes, she felt a cool sensation around her eyes and knew that she had cried in
real life too when she cried in her dream.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook"Ugh…" Sonia groaned in discomfort as she shifted slightly.
Mary was sitting beside the bed writing something. She immediately looked up when she heard the
sound. After seeing Sonia's eyes open, she cried out happily, "You're awake, Young Mistress Sonia."
Before Sonia could respond, Mary quickly nudged Toby to wake him up. "Wake up, Young Master Toby!
Young Mistress Sonia is awake."
