Toby wasn’t too surprised at Tom’s answer because when he asked the question, he already had the
answer in his heart. After a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes and said, "In that case, then continue to
have people keep an eye on Connor. Once he shows any irregular movement, immediately report to
me."
Whether this person was his father's murderer, he still wanted someone to keep an eye on him. It was
better to be safe than sorry.
"Certainly, President Fuller." Tom nodded and answered, then thought of something else and added,
"Also, there is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"It's the Stryder Family in Norfolk and the Southfield Family in Seafield. They seem to be in conflict
recently."
"What’s the reason?" Toby asked.
Tom adjusted his glasses. "Melody Stryder caught Peter Southfield cheating, and in a fit of anger, she
pushed him down the stairs, breaking his leg. Now the Southfield Family is completely against the
Stryder Family because of this matter, and Peter is also making a fuss about a divorce."
"Did they get a divorce?" Toby raised his eyebrows.
Tom shook his head. "No, because Melody is not willing to divorce Peter. He did ask for a divorce
before but had not succeeded, so this matter is projected to be a difficult one."
Learning about the situation, Toby sneered, "Melody and Tina were friends before, right?"
"Yes, they seemed to get along. Melody even went against Miss Reed for Tina. Remember that time
when several banks jointly chased after Miss Reed about the loans? Melody was the one manipulating
all this behind the scenes. Luckily you helped Miss Reed; otherwise, she and Paradigm Co. would be
finished," Tom said in a deep voice.
Toby’s eyes flashed. "In that case, help Peter."
Everyone knew how much Melody loved Peter. In order to marry him, she had even played dirty, so for
Melody, Peter was her life. Once the divorce was successful, she would probably go crazy. Previously,
he was hypnotized, so he did not do anything to Melody except help Sonia find a way to defuse
Melody's plan. If not for Tom mentioning Melody, he would have forgotten that there was such a person.
Now that he remembered, he would let Melody pay the price for what she did to Sonia. For Melody, the
most painful price was for Peter to divorce her.
"Certainly, President Fuller. I’ll make arrangements," Tom said.
Toby waved his hand, indicating that he could leave first. Thus, Tom didn't say anything and turned
around to excuse himself.
After he left, the ward was once again quiet. Toby took out his phone, flipped to Sonia's phone number,
and was ready to call her. But when his finger hovered over the call button, he halted. Since it was
already late at night, he didn’t know if she was asleep. If she was, would he disturb her?
While Toby was hesitating, the door of the ward suddenly rattled, as if something had fallen on the floor.
Toby was startled for a moment, and at that point, his thumb accidentally tapped the call button.
Somewhat speechless, Toby looked at his phone screen. It seems that God wants me to contact her.
Soon, the call came through, and Sonia's confused voice came from the other end of the phone. "Who
is it?"
When Toby heard the sleepiness in her voice, he knew she was really asleep, so he lightly opened his
thin lips and said, "It's me. Sorry to disturb you."
"Hmm?" At the other end of the phone, Sonia was lying on her side on the bed with her eyes closed
and one hand putting the phone to her ear. Clearly, she had no intention of waking up at all. So, she
also didn't even hear who was on the other end of the phone and what was said.
Toby thought his voice was too soft and repeated, "It's me. I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I—"
Before he finished his words, he suddenly heard the sound of slow and regular breathing coming from
the phone. He instantly realized that the woman on the other end of the phone had fallen asleep. Taken
aback, he then could not help but laugh lightly.
It’s really amazing how quickly she can fall asleep again.
Of course, it was possible that she was too sleepy, which was why she didn't recognize his voice. If she
did, she would usually wake up as soon as she heard him and then question why he was looking for
her at this late hour.
He did not plan on waking her but took the phone off his ear and turned on the speakerphone. Putting it
on the pillow, it was still emitting the sound of Sonia's breathing.
To Toby, the steady sound of her breathing was like she was there beside him. For the entire night, he
was accompanied by stable breathing; only when dawn broke and his phone battery died did the sound
disappear. When the call cut off, Toby closed his eyes and fell asleep with content.
At 8.00 AM, Sonia was awakened by a knock on the door. She frowned, then opened her eyes and
looked in the direction of the knocking sound. Outside the door, Charles knocked on the door while
shouting, "Baby, are you up?"
Sonia rubbed her brow, and after yawning, she woke up a little before replying, "Not yet, but I'll get up
soon."
"Then hurry up. I just went to the village head's house to buy breakfast; you hurry to wash up and come
out to eat." Charles removed his hand from the door.
Sonia nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
"Then I'll go to the dining room and wait for you." After saying that, Charles turned around and walked
away.
Hearing his footsteps go away until they disappeared, Sonia stretched and sat up from the bed. Just as
she sat up, she felt something wrong with her leg, as if it was pressed by something. Sonia
suspiciously lifted the quilt and saw her phone lying on her leg, causing her to be taken aback.
How strange! Why is my phone in the quilt? Before she went to sleep, she had clearly put it on the
headboard of the bed!
Full of doubt, Sonia took the phone out and pressed on it, but it was unresponsive. Is it broken?
Frowning, she remembered she had bought the phone only a few days ago, so it could not be broken.
Perhaps I accidentally shut it off when I fell asleep.
Thinking of this, Sonia pressed the button and prepared to restart the phone. However, after pressing
for a while, the phone remained unresponsive. Sonia's eyes widened at that. "No way!"
Is it really broken? But how is this possible? This is a new phone!
Sonia was a little reluctant to accept this fact, so she hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, looking
for a charger to charge the phone. If the phone didn’t respond even when it was connected to the
power source, then it was really broken.
Soon, Sonia found her own charger, came to the socket, and charged the phone. Just two seconds
after charging, the phone lit up, and then the screen showed a red battery symbol. A red battery symbol
meant the phone was at its lowest power level. So, it was clear why the phone couldn’t turn on just now
—it had no power.
However, Sonia was still a little confused. How could her phone be dead? Before she went to bed last
night, it was fully charged, so where did the power go?
It can't be that I played with my phone in my dreams, and it ran out of battery, right? Wait, in my
dreams?
Sonia's body stiffened as she realized something. She did have a dream last night that she answered a
phone call. Could it be that it was not a dream but a real one? When she thought of this, Sonia
hurriedly opened the call log. When she saw the first entry of the log, she was so shocked that her eyes
almost fell out.
