Chapter 1415 The Anniversary of Homer''s Death
Seeing how tense the couple looked, Mary realized what they were worried about. She exined
with a smile, "Don''t worry, Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia. Old Mrs. Fuller is still
unaware of what happened to you two for now. She probably called Young Master Toby to discuss
how to hold a memorial service on the anniversary of Master Homer''s death since the day is just
around the corner."
This Master Homer that Mary mentioned was none other than Toby''ste father, Homer Fuller.
Upon hearing this, Toby instantly heaved a sigh of relief. "Come to think of it, the anniversary of
Father''s death is indeeding in a few days. I got it; I''ll call Grandmater. Thank you for telling
me about this, Mary."
"It''s nothing, Young Master Toby. Alright, then, I shan''t keep you two any longer. I gotta prepare the
ingredients for tomorrow," Mary said. With that, she turned around and returned to the kitchen.
Sonia turned to look at the man. "We have to attend the memorial service for Dad on the
anniversary of his death, right?"
Toby nodded. "That''s of course, but you don''t have to. You''re not in good health, so I''ll go alone."
"No, that won''t do." Sonia shook her head. "How can I be absent at the memorial service for your
father? And besides, it''s not like I can''t move around. There''s no problem for me to spend a few
hours away from the hospital."
Hearing her say that and seeing how she insisted on going, Toby pondered for a moment before
finally agreeing to it. After all, he had never let her meet his parents before, so now it was time to let
her meet them. "Alright then, I''ll take you there," he said while stroking her hair.
"Uh-huh," Sonia replied. "Just call Grandma back, or she''ll be sleeping in a moment."N?velDrama.Org content.
"Alright, I''ll call her," Toby said while taking out his phone before calling Rose. At this moment, there
wasn''t much time left until when Rose was supposed to sleep, so they would have to wait until
tomorrow if they didn''t call her right now.
Soon afterward, the phone call to Rose was answered; Toby put the phone on speaker so that
Sonia could listen to the phone conversation.
Rose''s amiable and cheerful voice sounded through the phone. "Sonny, why call me at such ate
hour?"
Toby''s lips twitched. Is Grandma saying that on purpose? I made this phone call from my own
number! I simply don''t believe she didn''t notice it, but she ignores me and says it''s Little Leaf who
made the phone call. Do I still exist in her mind''s eye?
Seeing the man''s darkened handsome face, Sonia snorted intoughter with her hand over her
mouth. She said to the other end of the phone, "Grandma, we didn''t rouse you from sleep, did we?"
"No, you didn''t," Rose replied with a smile. "The older I get, the more trouble I have falling asleep,
so I''m still in good spirits right now. You two didn''t rouse me from sleep; on the contrary, I''m very
happy that you could call and speak with me."
"That''s great! We were worried that we might disturb you in your sleep," Sonia said with a smile.
"Well, Grandma, Mary just told us that you called Toby in the afternoon and asked him to call you
back after he woke up, which is why Toby''s made this phone call right now."
At this moment, Toby finally spoke up. "Grandma, you called me for the sake of Father''s death
anniversary, right?"
A look of grief and destion instantly came over Rose''s smiling face when she heard the words
''death anniversary.'' After all, Homer was her son. It had pained her enough to see her son die
earlier than herself, and the yearly anniversary of her son''s passing made her feel as though her
heart were being gouged out. Even so, she had to face up to this, as she couldn''t forget about her
son. "Yeah, your father''s death anniversary ising in three days." She let out a sigh. "I wanted to
ask you what your ns are for this year."
Instead of answering her question immediately, Toby said, "Grandma, I already know who killed
Father."
Rose tightened her grip on the phone after hearing this, but her face didn''t show much change in
emotion. Obviously, she already knew about this long ago. This was understandable; after all, she
was a mother, so how could she not investigate how her son had died? Perhaps she had learned a
long time ago who the murderer was, but she had never revealed it or taken action.
After not hearing her reply for a long time, Toby guessed what she was thinking, and his thin lips
parted. He asked, "Grandma, you already knew about this, didn''t you?"
The instant he said so, Sonia looked at the phone in surprise. Toby had told her that he had yet to
tell Rose about this.
Silence instantly filled the air. Sonia and Toby could only hear the sound of Rose''s breathinging
through the phone. Otherwise, they would''ve hung up the phone, thinking that Rose had fallen
asleep.
Just when Toby was about to repeat the question, Rose finally spoke after a long time. "That''s right.
I learned about this five years ago."
Toby''s pupils shrank. "Five years ago!" Homer passed away 12 years ago, and it took him 12 years
to find the murderer behind the scenes, but little did he think that Rose had learned about it five
years ago. "But why didn''t you tell me?" he asked in bafflement as his Adam''s apple bobbed up and
down.
How could Rose not know what Toby was thinking? She let out a sigh, saying, "Toby, do you think I
didn''t want to tell you about this? No, that wasn''t the case. It was my son who died, so I''m more
anguished than anyone else and hate Connor more than anyone else does. But why have I been
holding back from saying it the whole time? It was all for your sake!"
"For my sake?" Toby''s pupils trembled.
Sonia looked at him with concern. "It''s okay. Let''s listen to what Grandma says first."
"Uh-huh," Toby mumbled.
Rose let out a sigh. "Toby, now that you''re no longer under hypnosis, you should know how
unreasonable you were during the six years you spent under hypnosis. It was like you had no
regard for anyws and regtions in your mind during those six years, and everything you did was
as ruthless as possible with almost no care for the consequences. You were just a robot who had no
morals and no regard for thew. How could I dare to tell you about this when you were such a
person? I was worried that you''d act recklessly by taking action directly against the Salzburg Family
without any consideration for the hundreds of thousands of employees at the Fuller Group and the
Salzburg Group. If you did that, not only would you ruin the aplishments your grandpa had
made to shield our family, but you''d also ruin the families of hundreds of thousands of employees by
making them lose their jobs. Moreover, even you would pay the price for what you did by going to
jail. Do you understand that?"
The instant she said so, Toby''s lips parted, but he was at a loss for a reply. Indeed, if he had learned
about how Homer died when he was still under hypnosis, he would definitely wage an economic
war against Connor right away to avenge his father''s death without much hesitation. As for how
many people would get hurt or be disced because of the economic war, it would be none of his
business. But now that he was back to normal, he definitely couldn''t bring himself to do so.
Sonia agreed with what Rose said, too. "Grandma''s right. You were indeed capable of doing that
when you were under hypnosis. It was like how you covered for Tina and helped her get away when
we first divorced despite knowing that she had repeatedly attempted to kill me. At the time, you''d
turn up your nose at anyw, as you were an extremely dangerous person. Grandma was right not
to tell you about this. Otherwise, you wouldn''t be here today; you''d be in jail instead."
