Chapter 181
Before, it was always Sonia who stood there and watched him leave. He always knew, but he had
never once looked back at her.
And now, it was finally his turn to stand in ce and watch her leave.
As it turned out, it could be so upsetting to watch someone leave without even being spared a
backward nce or a response.
Toby lowered his head slightly and stroked his chest, which felt bitter and slightly tingling.
In the parking lot.
Sonia and Charles arrived at their car.
Charles opened the car door and said, “Darling, do you think something is wrong with Toby? Why
did hee all the way here to apologize to you personally?”
“Only God knows,” Sonia replied uninterestedly and ducked her head to get into the car.
Charles also got into the car at the same time. “I really couldn’t understand what this man was
thinking.”
Sonia smiled. “If you could read his mind, your achievements today would be the same as his.
Alright, let’s drive. Otherwise, Mrs. Lane will call and ask us why we haven’t arrived yet.”
“Fine.” Charles nodded and started the car.
On the way, Sonia’s cell phone rang all of a sudden.
She opened her eyes, took her phone out, and looked at it with a somewhat surprised look on
her face.
Charles caught her expression and asked hurriedly, “Who is it?"
“It''s Carl!” Sonia answered the call after replying-
As soon as Charles heard that it was Carl, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.
“Hey, Carl!” Sonia yelled into the phone with joy.
Carl’s gentle voice spread through the phone. “Sonia, do you have some time to spare in a few
days?”
“I think so... What’s the matter?” Sonia asked.
Currently, she had taken over half of the management power from Asher, and her right to speak in
Paradigm Co. had gotten much higher now. She didn’t have to do a lot of things by herself; instead,
she could order her subordinates to do it in her stead.
Therefore, she could make time.
“My work abroad ising to an end. I n on returning home in a few days, and I was thinking of
having a meal with you,” Carl replied with a smile.
“Sure. Thinking back, you’ve been on a business trip for two months now—it’s about time for you to
be back already. Alright, call me when you’re back; I’ll pick you up at the airport then.” Sonia agreed
to his invitation.
“Okay,” Carl answered, and then squinted his eyes. Although his voice was still gentle, there was a
hint of coldness in his tone. “Sonia, how have you been doing in the past two months? Did Tina and
the rest bully you?”
When he had just started his business trip, he was not that busy with work, so he could pay
attention to the news to see what was happening in the country.
However, when he got busierter on, he didn’t have much time to pay attention to the news
anymore—so he couldn’t tell if Tina and the others had bullied Sonia.
“I’m fine. As for Tina and the others...” Sonia''s smile faded a lot. “Don''t worry. You know I’m
someone who always bite back, so they had what wasing to them.”
“Based on what you said, it means they really did bully you, right?” Carl lowered his eyelids to cover
the chill in his eyes.
Sonia smiled. “Hey, now. Didn’t I tell you I am not easy to mess around with? So don’t worry, and
know that I am fine. By the way, isn’t it still
nighttime on your side of the globe? Go and rest up!"
Seeing that she didn’t want to say any more, Carl didn’t push it any further. He twitched the corner
of his mouth and showed an eerie smile. “Okay. I''ll hang up first, then. We’ll talk more when I see
you in a few days.”
“Okie dokes. See you in a few days!” Sonia nodded.
After the call, Charles asked, “Carl ising back?”
“Yeah. In a few days,” Sonia put away her phone and replied.
Charles coughed and continued, “Carl seemed to be asking if Tina and the rest had bullied you.
Am I right?”
“Yes. He is worried about me—that’s all.”
“Well, well, well. It seems that Tina and the others should worry about themselves now.” Charles
smiled gloatingly.
Sonia looked at him suspiciously. “What do you meanf
“Nothing.” Charles shook his head; he was not going to borate.

“Really? Because I feel like you’re hiding something from me.” Sonia narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Charles straightened up from his seat. “Nothing! It was really nothing!”
“Nevermind, then. I don’t care anyway.” Sonia rolled her eyes and stopped looking at him.
Charles heaved a breath of relief softly and was snickering in his heart.
It’s a good thing that Carl decided toe back. That guy is a lunatic, he thought to himself.
With him here, Sonia would be much safer, while Tina and the others would definitely suffer too.
Thinking about it, Charles couldn’t manage to hold back a chuckle.
Sonia nced at him, not knowing what he wasughing about, but she did not ask about it, and
instead put on her headphones to listen to some music.
The next day, which was also the weekend, Charles apanied Sonia to the hospital. When he
arrived at the hospital, Sonia got out of the car and stood at the gate of the hospital.
She looked up at the big sign of the hospital but did not lift her foot to walk in for a long time.
Charles parked the car and came to her. Watching her hesitance, he had guessed something, so he
said softly, “Darling, if you''re scared, let’s not get the abortion and just keep the baby.”
Sonia retracted her gaze and shook her head, her gaze firm. “No. I want to do it. I admit that I am a
little scared, because I have never had this kind of operation, but it would be unfair to the baby if I
kept it because I was too afraid. After all, I don''t love it, and I can''t give it maternal love."
A child should grow up in a loving family, with two loving parents. The baby in her belly was
conceived because of a night of recklessness.
She didn’t love the child''s father—how could she even begin to bring herself to love this child?
What was more, even if she kept this child, it would not have a father. Even though the father said
very clearly that he was willing to raise this child, he did not want to recognize it as his own —which
meant this child would still be an illegitimate child.
Therefore, instead of allowing this child toe into the world to suffer, it was better not to let it be
born in the first ce.
After thinking about it, Sonia took a deep breath, settled her emotions, and raised her foot to walk
into the hospital.
Charles also quickly followed.
After taking their queue number, the two walked toward the Obstetrics and Gynecology
department.
Not far away, Tina watched the two disappear into the elevator. She bit her lower lip and went to the
registration desk. “Hello, missy. May I ask about Miss Reed just now? What department is she
heading to? I am her friend, and I noticed that she has been in a bad mood recently, so I followed
her all the way here. I didn’t expect her to actuallye to the hospital. So could you please tell
me? I am really worried about her.”
The worry on Tina''s face looked sincere, and the nurse was moved by it. She then turned over to
take a look at Sonia’s registration record and told Tina, “She’s going to the Obstetrics and
Gynecology department.”
Hearing the name of the department, Tina lifted the corner of her lips slightly, but she quickly
cleared up her expression and switched back to her worried look just now. “I see. Thank you,
missy."
“It’s nothing.” The nurse waved her hand.
The moment Tina turned and left, the worry on her face disappeared suddenly, and now, her face
was full of excitement instead.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Tim Lancaster’s number. “Hey, Tim. Sonia came to the
hospital. I thought she would choose another hospital. I didn''t expect that she woulde to yours.
I’ll leave the rest to you, Tim.”
“Alright. Don''t worry.” Tim''s sses reflected the light as he pushed the rim.
As soon as Tina put down the phone, Toby approached her while frowning slightly. “Tina, didn''t I tell
you to wait for me at the gate of the hospital? Why did youe here?”
Tina’s eyes shed, whereupon she smiled and replied, “Sorry, Toby. I just saw someone familiar,
so I chased them in a hurry and forgot what you said. Please don’t be mad at me.”
She hugged his arm and shook it, acting like a child.
After all, she wasn’t lying. When she was waiting for him at the entrance of the hospital, she saw
Sonia and Charles, so she hurriedly hid and quietly followed them in.
She came over to see a psychiatrist, yet she happened to meet Sonia and Charles for a birth check-
up. Well, isn’t this great? I’ll be able to end Sonia once and for all today! she thought gleefully.
