Chapter 695


    Toby was caught in a trance when he realized Sonia saw through him. Nheless, he was quickly


    prevented by his pride and intuition from admitting it. Thus, he looked down a little and faked a


    cough. “Well, I’m not.”


    “Are you sure you aren’t?” Sonia looked at Toby, expressing her disbelief in his words. “You looked


    obviously happy because I can stay over. If not, you wouldn’t have suggested that I bunk down in


    your ce, would you?” “That’s clearly not what I meant.” Toby tried to talk his way out.


    Sonia folded her arms and said, “Really? Alright then, since that’s not what you meant, I suppose I


    could spend the night in the hotelter. Who says bunking down in your ce is the best way?”


    “No!” Toby grew anxious when he heard thedy say she wanted to go to the hotel.


    “Why not?” Sonia intentionally asked Toby with her eyes filled with mischief.


    “It isn’t safe to stay in the hotel,” Toby knitted his eyebrows and replied seriously.


    Deep down, Sonia was amused by Toby’s reaction; however, she still tried to keep a straight face on


    the outside. Oh man! I wish someone knew how hard it is to keep myself from bursting intoughter.


    “Who says it’s not safe in the hotel?” Sonia grunted. “Do you think I’m going to stay in some motel?”


    “No way!” Toby pursed his lips.


    “Tell me why not then.” Sonia gazed at the man.


    While Toby puckered his lips in silence, Sonia’s eyes lit up with glee. It looks like Toby needs a little


    ‘motivation'' before he decides to admit that he wants me to spend the night at his ce. Otherwise,


    he''ll just keep denying it. At the thought of that, she reached for her phone. “Fine, if you won’t tell


    me why, I’m going to go ahead and book a room right now. If there’s no avable room, I’ll just head


    over to Charles’s ce and bunk down there.”


    Upon hearing Sonia’s intention to stay at Charles’ ce, Toby was instantly piqued and irritated. No


    way! How can I allow the woman I love to stay at my love rival''s ce? He then snatched her phone


    and locked it. “No! You mustn’t go to the hotel or Charles’ ce.” “Seriously? You don’t seem to be


    okay with anywhere I want to go. Why don’t you tell me a ce that I should head to? Am I


    supposed to sleep by the roadside?” Sonia ced her hands on her waist and stared at the man.


    Soon, Toby returned Sonia her phone and rubbed his temples, as if he was about to make an


    important decision. “My ce. You can only go to my ce.” He especially emphasized his point


    one more time.


    Sonia curled her lips in response. “In that case, it means you’re happy that my heater is acting up


    so that I cane over to your ce. Am I right?” As Toby signified his admission with an


    affirmative hum, Sonia chuckled and said, “See? It wasn’t hard to admit it, was it? If you had


    admitted it earlier, I would have had toe so far just to make you do that. You’re insistent, yet


    your pride still messes with you sometimes. What’s wrong?”


    Upon hearing thedy’s words, Toby was seen with his eyes wide open. “So you did it on purpose


    when you said you were going to stay in the hotel or Charles’ ce?”


    “Haha.” Soniaughed and added, “If I hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t have admitted that you’re


    happy with my malfunctioned heater because you wanted me to bunk down in your ce.”


    While Toby faked a cough without saying a single word, Sonia shook her head. “Alright, let’s talk


    later. I''m going to call the technician right now.”


    “Sure.” Toby nodded.


    While Sonia called the technician and talked over the phone, Toby stood beside her and looked at


    her with love and affection. When the other visitors and patients saw that, they couldn’t help but


    think Toby and Sonia were meant to be a perfect couple.


    After making the call, Sonia met


    Toby’s eyes that were staring at her just when she took her phone away from her ear.


    Ufortable with the man’s gaze, she intentionally gawked at him and asked, “What’re you


    looking at?”


    “You.” Toby chuckled.


    “Why? What’s so eye-catching about me?” Sonia put away her phone.


    “Your beauty is what’s so eyecatching. To me, you’re the prettiestdy ever.” Toby nodded.


    “Enough with your sweet-talking. Let’s go.” Sonia appeared with her blushed cheeks as she opened


    the door and entered the ward with Toby, who chuckled and followed behind her.


    Upon noticing Sonia’s return, Rose felt even happier when she saw Toby smiling brightly from ear to


    ear. “Oh, you both came together.”


    “We ran into each other outside the door, so we came in together,” Sonia replied.


    “This is all part of fate’s n. That means you both are destined to meet each other. Otherwise, how


    do you exin the coincidence?” Rose chuckled and asked.


    Sonia curled her lips upward, feeling skeptical about Rose’s reply. What does that have to do with


    fate? We both came to the hospital to visit you, so of course, we''re going to run into each other. In


    spite of that, Sonia could tell that Rose was just trying to help her bond with Toby, so she decided to


    go along with her.


    “You’re right, Grandma.” Sonia nodded her head.


    In the meantime, Toby didn’t say anything but felt happy enough when he watched the delightful


    conversation going on between his grandmother and girlfriend.


    At that moment, Rose’s phone rang as she checked it out and said, “Oh, Mary is calling.” She


    answered the phone shortly after that. One minuteter, she put down her phone and let out a sigh.


    “Mary said she drove from the hospital to get us dinner and is now caught in the jam. So, she


    doesn’t think she can make it back in time and suggests that we buy dinner ourselves. Otherwise,


    the food will have already gone cold by the time she returns.”


    “Oh, in that case, I’ll swing by the cafeteria near the hospital to get us a little something to eat.”


    Sonia stood up and volunteered to help.


    Toby sat her down and replied, “I’ll go. You could stay here and keep Grandmapany.” Feeling


    obligated to take care of that matter as a man, he reckoned that was how his presence could


    be useful to them. That''s what a man does.


    Otherwise, what else am I here for?


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “That’s right. Let Toby take care of that while you stay here and keep mepany." Rose agreed,


    seizing Sonia’s hand.


    Because of that, Sonia had no choice but to listen to Rose and sit down while Toby walked away to


    get them dinner.


    Not long after Toby left, the doctor came to check on Rose and permitted her to leave the hospital


    the next day upon examination. Nevertheless, the doctor went on to give the olddy a prescribed


    list of medicines in order to ensure a speedy recovery.


    Therefore, Sonia made her way to the dispensary with the prescription to collect the medicine for


    Rose. When she was done with that, she entered the elevator, where she saw someone familiar—


    Jean.


    While Jean didn’t seem like she expected to see Sonia either, a surprised look shed across her


    face. Then, she jutted her chin and arrogantly sized Sonia up. “Oh, poor little thing. Why are you


    taking so much medicine? Do you have a terminal disease or something?”


    “This medicine belongs to Grandma. Are you cursing her now?” Sonia reacted with a cial look on


    her face.


    Caught in a brief trance, Jean then berated Sonia with a pucker on her bby cheeks. “Why didn’t


    you tell me that this medicine belongs to that olddy? Did you do this on purpose to make fun of


    me?!"


    Sonia was pissed yet amused at the same time. “You didn’t ask me who this medicine belongs to in


    the first ce. Instead, you jumped right to the conclusion and assumed it was mine. Then, when


    you realized you said something you shouldn’t have, you med me for not telling you and used


    me of my ‘ill intention’ to embarrass you. You’re pretty good at turning the table, aren’t you?”


    “You...” Jean was aware of her own intention to mess with Sonia but decided to never admit her


    mistake due to her seniority and pride. Ugh! Don’t even think I’m going to admit it because I’m not


    going to do something that’ll embarrass myself.


    At the thought of that, Jean folded her arms and was about to refute Sonia until she saw the bangle


    thetter was wearing. As her face changed, she subsequently stretched out her arm and grasped


    Sonia’s right hand to take a closer look at it with a darkened look. Oh my gosh''. She is wearing that


    bangle!


    “What’re you doing?” Sonia was caught off guard by Jean’s rough reaction, nearly losing her


    bnce due to thetter’s violent approach. Fortunately, she reacted in time and regained her


    bnce by leaning against the wall inside the elevator with her arm.


    “How did you get this? Why are you wearing it?” Jean seized Sonia’s wrist and raised it to her eye


    level, asking with her face twisted in irritation.


    “Did you steal it?”


    “Are you out of your mind or something?” Sonia shook her hand and freed herself from Jean’s


    grasp. Then, she rubbed her painful wrist with an unhappy look on her face.


    “Did I steal it? You’re pretty imaginative, aren’t you? Why don’t you tell or show me how to steal it?”
