Chapter 734
Sonia guessed that Jessica would be jailed anywhere from three to six months.
Once Sonia gave him the confirmation, Tim nodded. “I see.”
“Why did you bring this up anyway?” Sonia was curious.
Tim adjusted his sses. “You want that woman to bear a child so the Reeds’ bloodline won’t die,
right? If that’s the case, she can’t stop taking her medications, or she’ll have to restart her treatment
after she’s released. You’ll have to spend more time waiting then.”
Sonia nodded. “I see. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll tell the police officers about that.”
“Don’t forget about it.” Tim grunted, then he continued, “Ande to the hospital for a followup
checkup. You should have almost finished the meds
I gave youst time, right?”
Sonia smiled. “I still have enough for one day.”
“Knew it.” He spun the scalpel in his hand. “Come overter if you’re not busy.”
“Sure. I’m not busy this afternoon. How about 3PM?” Sonia looked at the time on her PC.

Tim looked at the time as well. “Juste to the OBGYN department straight away. I’ll be waiting
for you.”
“Sure,” Sonia answered.
They made some small talk and ended the call. She still had an hour and a half before three. Lots of
time. I can take it slow. She put her phone down and went back to work. When it was two thirty, she
picked her handbag up and left thepany.
It was three when she came to the hospital. After she parked her car and sent Tim a text, she went
into the hospital and headed to the elevator, then she pressed the floor she was going to.
The doors slowly closed, but just before they fully shut themselves, she heard someone say quickly,
“Wait up!"
It was a familiar voice, but since the elevator door had blocked out most of the voice, she couldn’t
remember who it was, so she instinctively pressed the open button to stop the elevator door from
closing. Once the doors slid open, the person came in quickly. She was holding a thermos and
leaned against elevator walls as she huffed and puffed. Obviously, she hade to the elevator
running.
When Sonia saw who it was, she was surprised, but then she frowned. No wonder she sounds so
familiar. It’s her. Are enemies always bound to cross paths? She crossed her arms and moved to
the side silently, putting some distance between her and the person who came in. Why did I even
wait for her? Now I have to stay in the same elevator with this woman. This is awkward.
Julia didn’t know who the person was. After she caught her breath, shebed through her hair
and stood up, then smiled at Sonia. “Thank you.”
Sonia arched her eyebrow in surprise. IVhoa. Unbelievable. A Gray, being so polite? She chuckled
sardonically.
“Mrs. Gray, you should turn around and see who I am. Once you know who I am, you’d probably
regret thanking me.”
That voice... Julia swiveled around, and she was shocked when she saw Sonia.
“It’s you!”
Sonia beamed at her. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Gray.”
Julia’s face fell. “Why are you here?” She never thought it would be Sonia in the elevator. If she did,
she wouldn’t havee in. However, she was surprised that Sonia didn’t leave right away after
seeing her and even held the elevator doors open for her.
Julia looked at Sonia. She had mixed feelings about the encounter, and she was confused. Why did
Sonia do this? Were enemies, right? If I were her, I wouldn’t have waited for my enemy. I’d have left
right away.
Sonia didn’t know what she was thinking. She looked at the elevator screen and smiled. “We’re in a
hospital, not your house. If you cane here, why can’t I?”
“Why you...” Julia couldn’t argue with that. She snorted and turned the other away. If it was any
other time, she would be angry after Sonia talked to her like that, but for some reason, she wasn’t
angered at all. In fact, she felt worried.
Julia turned around and asked Sonia, “Are you sick?”
Sonia froze up when she heard that, and even Julia was shocked that she asked the question. W-
What am I doing? She covered her mouth, her eyes filled with perplexion. Why did I ask her that?
Am I mad?
Julia quickly shook her head and waved her hands. “D-Don’t take it the wrong way,” she exined
nervously. “I’m not concerned about you. I’m just... just...” She couldn’te up with an excuse,
and her face was getting red.
Sonia knew Julia was trying to hide her concern. Her gaze turned dark, and she pursed her lips. I’m
getting mixed feelings about this.
Indeed, Julia was trying to hide her true feelings. She didn’t want to admit that she was concerned
about Sonia. Sonia could see that Julia was genuinely asking her if she was sick. She didn’t know
what was wrong with Julia and why she was suddenly concerned about Sonia, but the moment Julia
asked her that question, Sonia felt sad for some reason. It almost made her cry.
However, she held it down. Sonia clenched her fists and tried to be as calm as possible. “I know you
were just kidding. Don’t worry, I didn’t take it the wrong way,” she said calmly.
Sonia was always a fair person. She’d repay kindness with kindness. Anyone who treated her well
would receive a kind gesture in return. She might be enemies with the Grays, but since Julia was
concerned about her, she wouldn’t make things awkward for thedy and expose her.
Julia’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. “Yeah. I was just kidding. I don’t really care about you. That’s
impossible.”
“I know,” Sonia answered.
Julia didn’t know what to say after how readily Sonia answered that, and an awkward silence fell
between them. Both of them didn’t say anything more, and there was only the sound of breathing.
Sonia nced subtly at Julia, who was staring at the ground and looking pensive. It was her first
time where she didn’t argue while being in the same room with her enemy. And she was concerned
about me as well. This is... a really weird experience.
Sonia wasn’t the only one feeling weird; Julia had the same experience as well. She was regretting
what she said earlier, and she knew why she did that. Must be because of the press conference. I
can''t do that again, she told herself. She’s not Rina. Rina has alreadye back, and she’s with us
now. I must get rid of all these thoughts, otherwise I’ll hurt Rina.I have to deal with Sonia as I usually
would the next time I see her. I can’t do something stupid like that again. That line of thinking
calmed Julia down a lot.
Sonia arrived at her floor a momentter, and the elevator came to a halt.
The moment the doors swung open, she went out without saying goodbye to Julia. She only thought
of that incident earlier as an ident. I can’t forget the fact that she’s my enemy just because she''s
concerned about me for once.
