Chapter 57


    Inside the surveince room, the three of them could see that Sonia and Charles entered the hot


    springs about an hour and a half ago but since then, the former never came out.


    From this, it was obvious that she should still be in the hot springs.


    “I’ll go check the hot springs!” With that, Charles immediately rushed out of the door.


    Tina lifted her head and looked at Toby next to her before asking in a soft tone, “Toby, should we


    follow?”


    “We should!” he answered with furrowed brows. “Charles suspects that her disappearance has


    something to do with you, so we must follow him to help clear your name. Let’s go.”


    She smiled faintly and replied, “Alright. We’ll do --as you say.


    When they got to the entrance of the hot springs, they could hear Charles negotiating with the


    security guard.


    “Sir, I’ve told you that the hot springs’ operating hours have passed. There isn’t anyone inside.” The


    guard blocked Charles’ path to prevent him from getting in.


    As Charles was about to say something while scratching his head, a loud scream could be heard


    coming from inside the hot springs, drawing everyone’s attention to the source.


    Then, everyone saw a cleaningdy running out of the hot springs in fear while mumbling


    something to herself.


    The guard grabbed her and asked, “What s the problem?” “S-Someone’s dead!” the cleaningdy


    stuttered.


    “What?”


    Everyone was shocked by what they just heard.


    Then, she pointed inside with her trembling hand. “Someone has died inside the shower room of the


    women’s section!”


    “Sonia!” Instantly, Charles’ expression changed as he rushed into the hot springs.


    Toby and the guards also followed suit.


    On the way, Toby looked really tense and the aura that he was exuding at that time was enough to


    suffocate anyone.


    Is that woman really dead? Is this a joke? Is this all part of her prank?


    As he gritted his teeth tightly, he suddenly felt a strange ache inside his heart that messed up his


    breathing.


    Tina also seemed to notice the sudden change of his emotions. Even though she was filled with


    hatred inside, she still managed to get her eyes teary. “Toby, why does Miss Reed have to suffer so


    much at such a young age?”


    She spoke as though she felt sorry and sad for Sonia’s death but when everyone else wasn’t


    watching, she curled up the corners of her lips.


    This is great news! As long as she is dead, I won’t have any more worries.


    When they arrived outside the shower room, they opened the door and went straight in, ignoring the


    ‘men are forbidden to enter’ sign above the door. However, the moment they entered, they


    immediately witnessed the terrifying scene of Sonia lying on the floor with a pool of blood still


    flowing from her head.


    It took a while for Charles toe back to his senses before walking stiffly toward her.


    Meanwhile, Toby stood at the door with his eyes locked onto Sonia’s pale face as he instinctively


    clenched his fists tightly.


    It really is Sonia! She really is dead!


    At this moment, he felt as though he had lost something that was important to him. Not only was his


    heart aching, it felt empty too.

    Suddenly, Charles’ excited voice was heard. “She is alive. Sonia isn’t dead yet. She is still


    breathing!”


    What? Tina s smile froze all of a sudden and her eyes filled with disbelief. Sonia isn’t dead?


    Toby’s eyes were trembling as he stared at Charles. “Is it true?”


    “I’m sure of it. Sonia is indeed alive.” He could clearly feel her weak breath after cing his fingers


    right under her nose.


    At the same time, the guard let out a sigh of relief before turning toward the cleaningdy with


    dissatisfaction. “What were you doing? She obviously isn’t dead, so why did you go running around


    saying that she is dead?”


    The cleaningdy answered aggrievedly, “I was scared when I saw her lying on the floor in a pool of


    blood, so I assumed that she was dead.”


    The guard was left speechless.


    As for Tina, she also red at the cleaningdy angrily. It’s all because of her that I got all excited


    for nothing. Also, why couldn t Sonia just die after slipping on the shower gel that I poured?


    She was afraid that others might notice her true intentions, so she quicklyposed herself and


    smiled. “This is great. Miss Reed is still alive. This is great news, right, Toby?”


    However, he didn’t answer her as he walked toward Charles and Sonia.


    At the moment, Charles was shaking her gently, trying to wake her up.


    Seeing hispleteck of basic medical knowledge, Toby was so infuriated that he grabbed the


    other man’s cor and pulled him away from Sonia.


    “Fuller, what are you doing?” Charles roared.


    Toby lifted his gaze and nced at him coldly. “It’s obvious that she is in a deepa, so you can’t


    just wake her up by shaking her. Also, her head was injured, so you’ll only make her injuries worse


    and cause her to lose more blood. If you don’t want her to die, your best choice is to call the doctor


    immediately”


    Listening to him, Charles was dumbfounded at first before being annoyed at himself.


    D*mn it! I always lose my cool when I’m frustrated. I can’t believe I didn’t even think of such an


    important thing like calling a doctor.


    Quickly, he took out his phone and called the hotel.


    Meanwhile, Toby squatted down and gently lifted Sonia’s head so that she could lie in his arms.


    Then, he tore off a piece of cloth from his shirt as a bandage to wrap around the wound on the back


    of Sonia’s head to stop blood from flowing out.


    During the process, his eyes were filled with distress and pity, and even he himself did not notice it.


    However, Tina witnessed everything as she stood off to one side. She saw red but she couldn’t do


    anything to stop it.


    She knew clearly that if she stopped him at this moment, it would only show how petty she was that


    she couldn’t even tolerate an injured person.


    After making a phone call, Charles said to them, “The hotel said that they have already arranged a


    doctor to go to Sonia’s room. We just need to bring her there right away.”


    Therefore, Toby knotted the bandage and carried her up.


    Seeing the situation, Charles immediately put his phone back in his pocket and stretched out both


    his hands. “I’ll take care of her.”


    “No. It’s clear from your previous actions that you are not suitable to take care of her,” Toby


    muttered coldly, refusing to hand over the woman to him.


    Charles chuckled sarcastically. “If I’m not suitable, then what makes you suitable to take care of


    her? President Fuller, don’t forget that you and Sonia are divorced. I’m now her boyfriend.”


    “He’s right, Toby. Mr. Lane is Miss Reed’s boyfriend, so you can just hand her over to him. I believe


    that he will take good care of her.” Tina went up and gently urged him to let Sonia go


    while she pulled at his sleeve.


    Toby’s hands slowly tightened around Sonia’s armpit and knee but in the end, he let go and handed


    her over to Charles, his expression dark.


    After letting out a grunt, Charles turned around and left with Sonia in his arms.


    Seeing the two of them leaving, Toby somehow felt annoyed and frustrated inside his heart and he


    clenched his fists. However, when he clenched his fists, he suddenly noticed a sticky feelinging


    from his palms. After opening his hand, he realized that other than Sonia’s blood, his hands were


    also stained by an unidentified liquid.


    There was a faint scent from the liquid and when he rubbed his hands, the liquid started to form


    bubbles. It must be some kind of shampoo or shower gel. I’ve just touched Sonia, so I probably


    got it from her.


    Upon thinking about it, he looked at the ce where Sonia passed out and sure enough, there


    really was a pool of the same liquid.


    Immediately, he let out a sneer. Looks like she spilled her toiletries and identally slipped on it.


    What an idiot!


    “Toby, Mr. Lane and Miss Reed are gone. Let’s go back to our room.” Tina grabbed his arm.


    However, he then lifted his arm and withdrew it from her. “I need to wash my hands first.”


    After that, he went to the front of the washstand and washed off the blood and shower gel on his


    hands before leaving the hot springs.


    When they got back to their room, Tina grabbed a bathrobe and gave it to him. “Toby, you just


    bandaged Miss Reed and your body was stained by her blood, so why don’t you take a bath first?”


    He had the same idea, so he took the bathrobe and went into the bathroom but when he smelled a


    familiar scent in the air, he narrowed his eyes.
