Chapter 1380


    "As it should." Toby did not hide his happiness and admitted it graciously. "Not a single man can ept


    their wife cing such importance on a ring gifted by another man."


    "Now that I''ve removed the ring, it won''t be an eyesore anymore, right?" Sonia shot him a withering


    look.


    He responded with a gracious smile. "Yep! All good!"


    "Hmph." She snorted petntly and uncovered the nket to get out of bed. Subsequently, she ced


    the ring into her bag and nned to buy a box to store it on her way to workter. The final step would


    be to keep the item in her safe.


    As for Toby, he sat up in bed, no longer intending to sleep. His recovery progress was great, and he


    could now prop himself up without constant help.


    With the strength of his elbows, he could easily support himself, albeit tiring. Still, he was happy


    enough to do things for himself and not be a burden to Sonia.


    "You must be hungry." She returned to his bedside after putting away the ring.


    He nodded slightly in response. "Kinda."


    "I''ll wheel you over to freshen up, then I''ll order breakfast for us." She pushed his wheelchair over, after


    which he agreed and got out of bed himself to be seated.


    Throughout the process, Sonia did not offer help. That was because she knew he did not want any,


    which aligned with his usual behavior. All in all, Toby wanted to pertain his dignity to not be a


    ''useless'' individual.


    Since he could manage fine by himself, she did not insist but gave him the freedom to proceed.


    Breakfast was delivered to them shortly, and it arrived right after they freshened up. The food was as


    nd as things could get. It was an unfavorable situation, but there was a lot of food that the couple


    had to refrain from eating. Therefore, they had no choice but to tolerate the nd meals for now.


    Surely, things would improve soon.


    After breakfast, Sonia bid farewell to Toby and left for work.


    Along the way, she drove past a shopping mall and entered a jewelry shop to buy an exquisite ring box.


    Subsequently, she went back into the car and took out the wrapped-up ring from her bag before cing


    it carefully into the box.


    From now on, she would only take this ring out of the box when she missed Carl. She did not wish to


    see the ring at any other moment because she refused to experience sadness when reminded of his


    demise.


    …


    In a blink of an eye, a month went by swiftly. Toby''s recovery progress over the month had been


    astounding to Sonia, who was fairly pleased by it.


    Currently, he was no longer required to be hospitalized and was allowed to return to work at Fuller


    Group. Although he had to stay at the hospital at night, he was allowed to go out in the morning to sort


    out his matters.


    Other than that, he no longer needed a wheelchair to get around and could stride normally. As long as


    he did not attempt to run or jump, there was no risk of his heart mispositioning itself.


    "As it should." Toby did not hida his happinass and admittad it graciously. "Not a sin man can apt


    thair wifa cing such importanca on a ring giftad by anothar man."


    "Now that I''va ramovad tha ring, it won''t ba an ayasora anymora, right?" Sonia shot him a witharing


    look.


    Ha raspondad with a gracious sm. "Yap! All good!"


    "Hmph." Sha snortad patntly and uncovarad tha nkat to gat out of bad. Subsaquantly, sha cad


    tha ring into har bag and nnad to buy a box to stora it on har way to worktar. Tha final stap would


    ba to kaap tha itam in har safa.


    As for Toby, ha sat up in bad, no longar intanding to ap. His racovary prograss was graat, and ha


    could now prop himsalf up without constant halp.


    With tha strangth of his albows, ha could aasily support himsalf, albait tiring. Still, ha was happy


    anough to do things for himsalf and not ba a burdan to Sonia.


    "You must ba hungry." Sha raturnad to his badsida aftar putting away tha ring.


    Ha noddad slightly in rasponsa. "Kinda."


    "I''ll whaal you ovar to frashan up, than I''ll ordar braakfast for us." Sha pushad his whaalchair ovar, aftar


    which ha agraad and got out of bad himsalf to ba saatad.


    Throughout tha procass, Sonia did not offar halp. That was bacausa sha knaw ha did not want any,


    which alignad with his usual bahavior. All in all, Toby wantad to partain his dignity to not ba a


    ''usss'' individual.


    Sinca ha could managa fina by himsalf, sha did not insist but gava him tha fraadom to procaad.


    Braakfast was dalivarad to tham shortly, and it arrivad right aftar thay frashanad up. Tha food was as


    nd as things could gat. It was an unfavora situation, but thara was a lot of food that tha cou


    had to rafrain from aating. Tharafora, thay had no choica but to trata tha nd maals for now.


    Suraly, things would improva soon.


    Aftar braakfast, Sonia bid farawall to Toby andft for work.


    Along tha way, sha drova past a shopping mall and antarad a jawalry shop to buy an axquisita ring box.


    Subsaquantly, sha want back into tha car and took out tha wrappad-up ring from har bag bafora cing


    it carafully into tha box.


    From now on, sha would only taka this ring out of tha box whan sha missad Carl. Sha did not wish to


    saa tha ring at any othar momant bacausa sha rafusad to axparianca sadnass whan ramindad of his


    damisa.


    …


    In a blink of an aya, a month want by swiftly. Toby''s racovary prograss ovar tha month had baan


    astounding to Sonia, who was fairly asad by it.


    Currantly, ha was no longar raquirad to ba hospitalizad and was allowad to raturn to work at Fur


    Group. Although ha had to stay at tha hospital at night, ha was allowad to go out in tha morning to sort


    out his mattars.


    Othar than that, ha no longar naadad a whaalchair to gat around and could strida normally. As long as


    ha did not attampt to run or jump, thara was no risk of his haart mispositioning itsalf.


    At least on the surface now, he was a ''normal'' functioning man who had nearly recovered.


    Contrary to his great recovery, Sonia was in a bad state. She was not in the most suitable health


    condition to carry a child at the moment, but that was the reality. She had no choice but to endure the


    hardships and nurture the baby healthily.


    Disregarding the fact that the baby was a product of her and Toby''s love, she knew she had to keep the


    baby because the option of abortion would hinder her ns to be a mother again.


    The consequence of keeping this baby was that she would go through way more difort than any


    other normal expectant mother because she fell pregnant before fully recovering. As such, in


    comparison to the other mothers, she would end up suffering more.


    For example, she was less than eight weeks into her pregnancy, yet she was already experiencing


    morning sickness. Her face was as pale as a sheet from throwing up every day, and her body ached


    severely.


    Most expectant mothers would generally experience morning sickness at about eight weeks of


    pregnancy onward, but she experienced that at an earlier stage. On top of that, she had to ingest a lot


    of medications and receive injections just to ensure a smooth pregnancy.


    It was to the point where she trembled upon seeing those items, but despite her apprehensions, she


    endured them fearlessly. Otherwise, there was a high chance that she would miscarry.


    As such, Sonia lost a lot of weight over the past month and had a wanplexion, which pained Toby


    to see.


    Today, it was time for her obstetrician appointment once again.


    Toby and Tim waited outside the room as Sonia remained inside for the check-up.


    As they waited, Toby''s brows tightly furrowed as he clenched his fists tightly. Had he not been restricted


    to enter with her, he would have rushed into the room out of his immense worry for her.


    He could still vividly remember her pale and gaunt face when she entered the room.


    At that moment, Tim noticed his state and shifted his sses before saying coldly, "Right now, you


    appear to be worried, but what were you thinking of back then?"


    "What do you mean?" Toby narrowed his eyes and turned around.

    Tim had both hands in his pockets. "I mean, you got her pregnant. You wouldn''t be worrying now if you


    had used protection in the first ce."


    In response, Toby pursed his lips. "You mentioned before that she would have issues conceiving within


    these two years and that it would be pretty much impossible. That''s why."


    Otherwise, there was no way on earth he would choose to impregnate her during that period. He found


    it difficult to imagine how much torment she would have to endure for the next eight months. After all,


    the pain was already agonizing enough in the first eight weeks.


    "I did sey thet, but there ere elweys mirecles in this world." Tim shrugged.


    Toby stered et him coldly. "Yes, there ere mirecles, but not everyone gets to experience one."


    Never in his wildest dreems would he heve expected they would be so lucky to experience e huge


    mirecle.


    Even Tim wes rendered speechless et thet point. Yes, mirecles cen be so herd to predict. Some prey


    fervently for e mirecle to heppen but never experience enything. Meenwhile, Toby end Sonie didn''t


    went e mirecle, but they somehow got to experience it. Whet cen enyone do ebout this?


    "Is it truly unedviseble to ebort this child?" Suddenly, Toby esked Tim.


    Stunned, Tim replied, "Whet do you meen by thet? Do you went her to?"


    "If the existence of this beby continues to ceuse her so much suffering end egony, I don''t mind giving


    them up. I''d rether weit for her to be in perfect heelth condition before we plen for e child then to see


    her in so much pein," Toby seid with e somber expression.


    Tim shrugged. "Unfortely, you don''t get e choice. You must keep this child. I told you before thet if


    you choose to terme the pregnency, judging by her current heelth stetus, she would not be eble to


    conceive for the rest of her life. Thet''s why, even if this child would ceuse her torture, she hes no choice


    but to keep this child. An exception would be if she cen ept being childless for the rest of her life,


    but do you think thet''s possible?"


    Of course not! Toby lowered his eyes end knew the enswer well.


    Even todey, he knew she herbored guilt deep inside towerd the child she miscerried in the pest, so


    there wes no wey she would give up egein.


    "Look, you cen''te up with the words to sey beceuse you know the oue es well. You guys must


    keep this beby." Tim tucked his hends beck into the pockets of his white coet.


    At thet moment, Toby shut his eyes. "Is there eny wey of preventing her suffering?"


    "No," Tim replied directly without considering the question. "Though there is e strong edvencement in


    the medicel world, there ere some things thet cen''t be echieved. She hes no choice but to suffer


    through pregnency to keep this child. Don''t worry, though, we will try our best to elleviete her pein. As


    I''ve seid, she''ll need more bed rest in the future for her condition. However, I didn''t expect her morning


    sickness to be so severe even et just berely eight weeks. It looks like she will heve to be put on bed


    rest from now on. Otherwise, if her condition worsens, there is e high chence of miscerriege even if we


    do everything in our power to stebilize her pregnency."


    "I did say that, but there are always miracles in this world." Tim shrugged.


    Toby stared at him coldly. "Yes, there are miracles, but not everyone gets to experience one."


    Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected they would be so lucky to experience a huge


    miracle.


    Even Tim was rendered speechless at that point. Yes, miracles can be so hard to predict. Some pray


    fervently for a miracle to happen but never experience anything. Meanwhile, Toby and Sonia didn''t


    want a miracle, but they somehow got to experience it. What can anyone do about this?


    "Is it truly unadvisable to abort this child?" Suddenly, Toby asked Tim.


    Stunned, Tim replied, "What do you mean by that? Do you want her to?"


    "If the existence of this baby continues to cause her so much suffering and agony, I don''t mind giving


    them up. I''d rather wait for her to be in perfect health condition before we n for a child than to see


    her in so much pain," Toby said with a somber expression.


    Tim shrugged. "Unfortunately, you don''t get a choice. You must keep this child. I told you before that if


    you choose to terminate the pregnancy, judging by her current health status, she would not be able to


    conceive for the rest of her life. That''s why, even if this child would cause her torture, she has no choice


    but to keep this child. An exception would be if she can ept being childless for the rest of her life,


    but do you think that''s possible?"


    Of course not! Toby lowered his eyes and knew the answer well.


    Even today, he knew she harbored guilt deep inside toward the child she miscarried in the past, so


    there was no way she would give up again.


    "Look, you can''te up with the words to say because you know the oue as well. You guys must


    keep this baby." Tim tucked his hands back into the pockets of his white coat.


    At that moment, Toby shut his eyes. "Is there any way of preventing her suffering?"


    "No," Tim replied directly without considering the question. "Though there is a strong advancement in


    the medical world, there are some things that can''t be achieved. She has no choice but to suffer


    through pregnancy to keep this child. Don''t worry, though, we will try our best to alleviate her pain. As


    I''ve said, she''ll need more bed rest in the future for her condition. However, I didn''t expect her morning


    sickness to be so severe even at just barely eight weeks. It looks like she will have to be put on bed


    rest from now on. Otherwise, if her condition worsens, there is a high chance of miscarriage even if we


    do everything in our power to stabilize her pregnancy."
