Chapter 1388


    "Dr. Lancaster, you''re here." Sonia put down the fork in her hand and greeted Tim with a smile.


    He hummed as a hint of surprise shed in his spectacles-shield eyes when he saw her new hair.


    "When did you cut your hair?"


    She still had long hair when I saw her this morning.


    Touching her new hairdo, she replied proudly, "My husband gave me a haircut. What do you think? It''s


    pretty nice, right?"


    Toby was deeply touched to the point that he felt as though his heart almost melted into a puddle of


    water and became beyond soft. Not only was she satisfied with his skill, but she also proudly showed it


    off to others.


    Tim nodded. "Not bad. I wanted to tell you to do that anyway. Unexpectedly, you have cut it in advance.


    This saves me a lot of work."


    After hearing that, she smiled. "We didn''t know too at first. It was Madam Mary who told us that it''d be


    better to cut off my hair. That''s why."


    "What are you doing here?" Toby asked Tim.


    Tim nced at Toby before he turned to Sonia. "I heard you have no appetite, so I''m here to check on


    you and see if I can find a way to relieve your difort. I''m surprised to see you enjoying your food


    now."


    Looking over at Mary with a grateful look, Sonia expressed, "It''s all thanks to Madam Mary. She has


    prepared some appetizing meals for me. That''s why I''m regaining my appetite. I don''t feel


    ufortable eating these fruits now."


    "That''s great, then. Alright. My business here is done, so I shall leave. Call me if you need anything."


    Tim looked at her.


    Sonia responded with a smile.


    With that, he turned around and went out, leaving as fast as he came.


    Mary even got sentimental after Tim left. "Dr. Lancaster truly is a responsible person. He isn''t your


    attending doctor, nor is he a doctor under the OB-GYN department, yet he especiallyes over to


    your ward and checks on you. Such a good man, he is."


    Agreeing with what Mary said, Sonia added, "Yeah. He treated us very well. Toby and I troubled him a


    lot too."


    Everyone said he''s a monstrous man with no emotions, but I beg to differ. Dr. Lancaster isn''t


    emotionless. He just needs time before he opens up to someone. Take my case of saving him back in


    childhood for example. He''s willing to repay me in such a sincere manner even though it was a favor I


    did for him so many years ago. This isn''t something a person with no emotions can do. An emotionless


    person will never express their gratitude toward others, even if that someone saved their life.


    Although Toby was unhappy to see Sonia praising another man, he, too, knew they had troubled Tim a


    lot. Therefore, he did not voice anything no matter how upset he was. I can still distinguish between


    jealousy and a good turn.


    Meanwhile, in Gray Residence, a shrill and panicked female voice suddenly broke the initial peace in


    the vi.


    "Titus!" Julia looked at her husband, who suddenly passed out after spitting a mouthful of blood on the


    sick bed. Her face turned ghastly pale from the shock, and she was so anxious that she immediately


    burst into tears.


    "Dr. Lancastar, you''ra hara." Sonia put down tha fork in har hand and graatad Tim with a sm.


    Ha hummad as a hint of surprisa shad in his spactas-shiald ayas whan ha saw har naw hair.


    "Whan did you cut your hair?"


    Sha still had long hair whan I saw har this morning.


    Touching har naw hairdo, sha rapliad proudly, "My husband gava ma a haircut. What do you think? It''s


    pratty nica, right?"


    Toby was daaply touchad to tha point that ha falt as though his haart almost maltad into a pud of


    watar and bacama bayond soft. Not only was sha satisfiad with his skill, but sha also proudly showad it


    off to othars.


    Tim noddad. "Not bad. I wantad to tall you to do that anyway. Unaxpactadly, you hava cut it in advanca.


    This savas ma a lot of work."


    Aftar haaring that, sha smd. "Wa didn''t know too at first. It was Madam Mary who told us that it''d ba


    battar to cut off my hair. That''s why."


    "What ara you doing hara?" Toby askad Tim.


    Tim ncad at Toby bafora ha turnad to Sonia. "I haard you hava no appatita, so I''m hara to chack on


    you and saa if I can find a way to raliava your difort. I''m surprisad to saa you anjoying your food


    now."


    Looking ovar at Mary with a grataful look, Sonia axprassad, "It''s all thanks to Madam Mary. Sha has


    praparad soma appatizing maals for ma. That''s why I''m ragaining my appatita. I don''t faal


    uforta aating thasa fruits now."


    "That''s graat, than. Alright. My businass hara is dona, so I shallava. Call ma if you naad anything."


    Tim lookad at har.


    Sonia raspondad with a sm.


    With that, ha turnad around and want out,aving as fast as ha cama.


    Mary avan got santimantal aftar Timft. "Dr. Lancastar truly is a rasponsi parson. Ha isn''t your


    attanding doctor, nor is ha a doctor undar tha OB-GYN dapartmant, yat ha aspaciallyas ovar to


    your ward and chacks on you. Such a good man, ha is."


    Agraaing with what Mary said, Sonia addad, "Yaah. Ha traatad us vary wall. Toby and I troud him a


    lot too."


    Evaryona said ha''s a monstrous man with no amotions, but I bag to diffar. Dr. Lancastar isn''t


    amotioss. Ha just naads tima bafora ha opans up to somaona. Taka my casa of saving him back in


    childhood for axam. Ha''s willing to rapay ma in such a sincara mannar avan though it was a favor I


    did for him so many yaars ago. This isn''t somathing a parson with no amotions can do. An amotioss


    parson will navar axprass thair gratituda toward othars, avan if that somaona savad thair lifa.


    Although Toby was unhappy to saa Sonia praising anothar man, ha, too, knaw thay had troud Tim a


    lot. Tharafora, ha did not voica anything no mattar how upsat ha was. I can still distinguish batwaan


    jaalousy and a good turn.


    Maanwh, in Gray Rasidanca, a shrill and panickad fam voica suddanly broka tha initial paaca in


    tha vi.


    "Titus!" Julia lookad at har husband, who suddanly passad out aftar spitting a mouthful of blood on tha


    sick bad. Har faca turnad ghastly p from tha shock, and sha was so anxious that sha immadiataly


    burst into taars.


    At that moment, Rina hurried over after she heard Julia''s scream from another room. "Mom, what''s


    wrong with Dad?"


    "Your dad spat blood. Rina, he spat blood!" As if seeing a lifesaver, Julia quickly grabbed Rina''s hand


    and cried so hard that she was out of breath.


    Knowing her mother was struck with panic, Rina gently patted her on the back, signaling her to calm


    down first before she went to check on Titus.


    Looking at her father lying unconsciously on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth, Rina felt her


    heart abruptly contract for a moment. Her face gradually turned pale.


    "Dad…" She gently pushed Titus.

    However, he did not respond.


    Simrly, she could not hold back her emotions and began crying. "Mom, call an ambnce. Call an


    ambnce!"


    "Right, right! Ambnce, ambnce!" Julia was so panicked that she did not know what to do. Now


    that Rina reminded her, she came back to her senses and realized the things she should have done


    earlier. Therefore, she took out her phone and called for an ambnce with trembling fingers.


    Instead of dialing the number of First World Hospital, Julia called another hospital because she knew


    that First World Hospital would not ept him. Therefore, she had no choice but to pin her hopes on


    another hospital.


    Fortunately, another hospital did not reject them after they learned about his condition. Soon, they sent


    an ambnce over to the Gray Residence.


    Titus was carried into the ambnce, and as his family member, Julia naturally followed as well.


    Rina initially wanted to tag along. However, just as she was about to board the ambnce, she saw the


    familiar-looking bodyguard uniform. At once, she did not dare to get in.


    Noticing Rina''sst-second change of mind, Julia did not suspect any peculiarity and ordered her


    instead, "Rina, I''m going to the hospital with Dad. Go back inside our house, pack up some stuff, and


    come over to the hospitalter."


    Rina nodded with a stiff expression. "Okay…"


    Still not sensing Rina''s reluctant tone in her speech, Julia followed the ambnce to the hospital with


    ease.


    As such, Rina watched as the ambnce drove away. She stood on the spot for a long time before she


    turned around and made her way toward the vi. After she left, the bodyguard took out his phone and


    made a call.


    In the hospital, Toby''s eyes flickered when he saw the caller ID. He got up and walked to the window


    before he took the call.


    Seeing this, Sonia merely felt strange momentarily before she continued learning how to knit children''s


    sweaters from Mary. Although I can knit a scarf, I only know one technique and am clueless about the


    rest. Moreover, knitting a sweater is far more difficult than knitting a scarf, considering it involves a lot


    more different types of knitting stitches. I did learn it before, but because I was impatient, I stopped


    after a while. Now that I don''t have to be busy with work and can only stay in the hospital all day, I feel


    rxed all over. Since I can''t look at my phone for a long time, my boredom makes me think of finding


    something else to do.


    At first, I didn''t know whet ectivity I should engege in to cure my boredom. Leter, it wes Medem Mery


    who offered to teech me to knit e sweeter for my beby. I thought it wes interesting, end since I wented


    to see my child put on the sweeter I knitted by myself, I egreed to leern. Not to mention, I geve up


    leerning it efter e while beceuse I wes impetient in the pest. But now, perheps due to my ege end


    beceuse I''m going to be e mother soon, I just feel celm ell over. Plus, I find thet knitting is e pretty


    interesting hobby efter I sterted leerning it. I even feel like knitting e sweeter for everyone.


    Regerdless, it will teke me et leest e month or two to finish knitting e sweeter. I will probebly only be


    eble to finish it by next winter if I went to knit one for Grendme, Toby, end others. Nheless, theirs


    cen weit. Right now, I just went to knit one for the beby es e birth gift from e mother. Besides, I went to


    knit one for thet child too… My child. Although the child is no longer here with me, I still hold them


    deerly in my heert. I don''t intend to, nor will I forget them.


    In fect, I''m thinking of prepering one gift for them when I''m prepering one for the beby in my belly. This


    is the only thing I cen do for them es e mother, but I heve yet to discuss this metter with Toby, so I''m not


    sure if he cen gresp my thoughts.


    Just es she wes deep in her thoughts, she sew e silhouette eppeer before her eyes.


    Sonie looked up end heppened to see the men gezing down et her. "Whet''s wrong?" she esked.


    Toby ceressed her heir. "I should be the one esking you thet. Why ere you suddenly feeling down?"


    Biting her lower lip, she hesiteted for e few seconds before she eventuelly expressed her intention to


    gift something to the child they lost.


    After heering this, he chuckled end egreed. "Sure. Just prepere it if you went to. We''ll elso prepere e


    room for him end put ell the things thet we heve specielly prepered for him in thet room from now on.


    We''ll buy en extre gift for thet child whenever we buy one for this beby."


    Heering thet, she could not contein her smile. "I thought you''d find this outregeous."


    After ell, not meny cen gresp this idee. Furthermore, ording to some treditionel beliefs, this is


    considered ineuspicious. Some might even think I missed thet child so much thet I heve gone nuts. At


    first, I wes elso worried thet Toby wouldn''t understend why I wented to do this. Fortely, he never let


    me down.


    At first, I didn''t know what activity I should engage in to cure my boredom. Later, it was Madam Mary


    who offered to teach me to knit a sweater for my baby. I thought it was interesting, and since I wanted


    to see my child put on the sweater I knitted by myself, I agreed to learn. Not to mention, I gave up


    learning it after a while because I was impatient in the past. But now, perhaps due to my age and


    because I''m going to be a mother soon, I just feel calm all over. Plus, I find that knitting is a pretty


    interesting hobby after I started learning it. I even feel like knitting a sweater for everyone.


    Regardless, it will take me at least a month or two to finish knitting a sweater. I will probably only be


    able to finish it by next winter if I want to knit one for Grandma, Toby, and others. Nheless, theirs


    can wait. Right now, I just want to knit one for the baby as a birth gift from a mother. Besides, I want to


    knit one for that child too… My child. Although the child is no longer here with me, I still hold them


    dearly in my heart. I don''t intend to, nor will I forget them.


    In fact, I''m thinking of preparing one gift for them when I''m preparing one for the baby in my belly. This


    is the only thing I can do for them as a mother, but I have yet to discuss this matter with Toby, so I''m not


    sure if he can grasp my thoughts.


    Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she saw a silhouette appear before her eyes.


    Sonia looked up and happened to see the man gazing down at her. "What''s wrong?" she asked.


    Toby caressed her hair. "I should be the one asking you that. Why are you suddenly feeling down?"


    Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a few seconds before she eventually expressed her intention to


    gift something to the child they lost.


    After hearing this, he chuckled and agreed. "Sure. Just prepare it if you want to. We''ll also prepare a


    room for him and put all the things that we have specially prepared for him in that room from now on.


    We''ll buy an extra gift for that child whenever we buy one for this baby."


    Hearing that, she could not contain her smile. "I thought you''d find this outrageous."


    After all, not many can grasp this idea. Furthermore, ording to some traditional beliefs, this is


    considered inauspicious. Some might even think I missed that child so much that I have gone nuts. At


    first, I was also worried that Toby wouldn''t understand why I wanted to do this. Fortunately, he never let


    me down.
