Chapter 652


    Sonia looked at Toby’s left arm before patting it gently. Then, he moved his arm a little before asking


    with a soft voice, “I heard it all, but I''m not sure if I can remember everything, so, Sonia, can you


    supervise me after this?”


    “Supervise you?”


    “Yeah.” Toby nodded. “Supervise me to prevent me from lifting heavy objects or doing strenuous


    exercises so that my arm can heal faster.”


    Right then, Sonia’s lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. Meanwhile, Tim, who


    was standing at a side,mented nonchntly, “Supervise? I think he just wants you to


    apany him more after this.”


    Immediately, the warm look on Toby’s face disappeared and was reced by a disdainful look


    before he gave Tim a dark look. “No one would think that you’re mute if you don’t talk.”


    Nevertheless, Tim shrugged in an unfazed manner. “I just don’t want her to get tricked by you.”


    At this moment, Toby was so pissed off that he wanted to punch Tim. How is this trickery when it is


    just harmless flirting between a couple? What can a person who is single know about this?''.


    Staring at those two throwing snarky remarks at each other, Sonia massaged her temples as she


    didn’t know how to react. “Alright. Stop fighting with each other.” Then, she turned toward Tim and


    thanked him. “Dr. Lancaster, thank you for your kindness, but I knew what he was trying to say.”


    Sonia wasn’t a fool, and it was impossible for her not to realize that Toby just wanted herpany.


    Although Toby didn’t make himself clear and asked her to ‘supervise’ him instead, she didn’t feel


    like she was lied to because such wasmon among couples.


    Sometimes, beating around the bush could sound way more flirtatious than being straightforward,


    and that was the fun of being in love. However, Tim had never been in a rtionship, so he didn’t


    understand how things worked in a rtionship.

    Nevertheless, Sonia was still touched by his kind gestures for not wanting her to be tricked.


    “You knew?” Tim was shocked while Sonia hummed in agreement. “Of course.


    Toby put his arm around Sonia’s shoulder before giving Tim a disdainful look. “How does it feel to


    fail in kissing a*s?”


    Right then, Tim’s mouth twitched a little before he went quiet while Sonia jabbed the man next to


    her with her elbow and motioned for him to shut up before she gave Tim an apologetic smile. “I’m


    sorry, Dr. Lancaster. He’s


    “It’s fine.” Tim waved them off. “I really don’t understand what people are thinking about when


    they’re in a rtionship. Why can’t you guys be straightforward? Why must you guys beat around


    the bush and be all ambiguous? Thank god Ick emotions. Else, I would have been so annoyed.”


    After being diagnosed with antisocial and affectionless personality disorder when he was a child,


    Tim had been treated badly by his parents as well as the people around him. They’d even call him


    an emotionless monster at times.


    Nevertheless, Tim couldn’t understand how he was emotionless until he grew up and noticed the


    invisible bond between the people around him that could make them closer to each other. At that


    moment, he realized he had no emotions and couldn’t sense any emotions or humanistic bonds.


    From then onward, he harbored a great interest in the idea of rtionships. He was eager to know


    how a rtionship worked and how it could draw humans together. Hence, he focused his research


    on rtionships after his undergraduate studies and found out that there was not just one type of


    rtionship. Instead, there were many types of rtionships.


    As Tim continued researching, he got more confused and felt that rtionships wereplicated to


    the point of iprehension, so he dropped his research.


    Tim knew that continuing his research would only bring to naught, as he had no emotions, and his


    studies wouldn’t bear any fruits. Hence, he couldn’t understand that what Toby said to Sonia just


    now was just a way of him flirting instead of tricking her.


    “Dr. Lancaster, who said that you’re emotionless? You do have emotions,” Sonia said to Tim.


    Immediately, Tim’s pupils constricted a little. “What did you just say? Did you just say that I have


    emotions?” “That’s right.” Sonia nodded. “Your protection toward me is a type of emotion. If you


    don’t feel any emotions, why are you so protective of me?”


    She had heard of rumors of Tim, as his nickname, Demon Tim, was a notorious one. Everyone in


    the field knew that an emotionless freak came out from the famous medical family, the Lancaster


    Family.


    At first, Sonia genuinely believed that Tim was emotionless, as she couldn’t sense any respect


    toward life orw from him after all. However, she realized that he might not be emotionless after


    seeing how he took care of Tina and herself,ing to the conclusion that he only harbored


    emotions toward certain people.


    Still, Sonia was sure that Tim’s feelings toward her weren’t love or friendship. Instead, he looked up


    to her as if she was his gospel, a goddess, perhaps. Considering Tim’s childhood, she believed he


    looked up to her because she had once saved him. It was Sonia who made Tim realize that there


    were people that didn’t hate the demon.


    “Are you for real? I... actually have emotions?” Tim pointed at himself. The man, who was usually


    smart and calcting, suddenly had a confused look on his face.


    Right then, Sonia hummed in acknowledgment. “Of course. Although you act indifferent around


    people, that doesn’t mean that you’re emotionless. You’re not the monster others call you to be.”


    Upon hearing that, Tim felt his heart skip a beat before his gazended on Sonia. Immediately, Toby


    got annoyed and grabbed Sonia’s hand before pulling her behind him and taking a step forward to


    block her from Tim. Then, he stared at Tim coldly. “Have you stared enough?”


    Yet, Tim ignored him before he lowered his gaze and chuckled. “This is the first time someone told


    me I’m not a monster. Sonia, you’re really an angel.”


    He went into a pond when he was a kid. As the cold pond water slowly drowned him, he could only


    struggle and shout for help as he didn’t know how to swim.


    Despite many adults and kids his age walking past him, not one person was willing to stop by to


    save him. Instead, all of them gave him a disgusted look and left quickly, as if they would be


    murdered by a monster if they didn’t.


    Yet, what they did not know was that


    Tim wasn’t interested in ordinary people like them. He could only get excited by being able to


    control the life of people who were extremely sinful. Still, no one gave him the chance to tell them


    that.


    As Tim was slowly losing his strength and was starting to drown at the bottom of the pond, an angel


    appeared. Sonia found a wooden stick and pushed it toward him for him to grab it before pulling him


    up and saving him.


    At that moment, Tim suddenly realized that he wasn’t hated by everyone. At least, there was


    actually a person who didn’t look at him with hate-filled eyes but worried ones instead.


    It was right then that he swore to protect Sonia forever. She was the one who showed him color in


    the world he had once epted to be monotonous. Losing her was, to him, losing the only patch of


    color in the ck and white world.


    Sometimes, Tim would wonder if he wasn’t emotionless, would he have been head over heels for


    her. When Sonia told him he actually had emotions, it became clear to him that his feelings toward


    her weren''t one of love or friendship but something rare.
