Chapter 57
Inside the surveince room, the three
of them could see that Sonia and Charles entered the hot springs about an hour and a half ago but since
then, the former never came out.
From this, it was obvious that she
should still be in the hot springs.
“I’ll go check the hot springs!” With that, Charles immediately rushed out of the door
Tina lifted her head and looked at Toby
next to her before asking in a soft tone,
“Toby, should we follow?”
“We should!” he answered with
furrowed brows. “Charles suspects
that her disappearance has something
to do with you, so we must follow him to help clear your name. Let’s go.”
She smiled faintly and replied, “Alright.
We’ll do as you say.”
When they got to the entrance of the hot springs, they could hear Charles negotiating with the
security guard.
“Sir, I’ve told you that the hot springs’
operating hours have passed. There
isn’t anyone inside.” The guard blocked
Charles’ path to prevent him from
getting in
As Charles was about to say REDMI NOTE 9S ALOU Semething while scratching his head, a

loud scream could be hearding from inside the hot springs, drawing everyone’s attention to the
source
Then, everyone saw a cleaningdy running out of the hot springs in fear while mumbling something to
herself.
The guard grabbed her and asked, “What’s the problem?”
“S-Someone’s dead!” the cleaningdy
stuttered.
“What?”
Everyone was shocked by what they
Then, she pointed inside with her trembling hand. “Someone has died inside the shower room of the
women’s section!”
“Sonia!” Instantly, Charles’ expression changed as he rushed into the hot
springs.
Toby and the guards also followed suit.
On the way, Toby looked really tense
and the aura that he was exuding at
that time was enough to suffocate
anyone.
Is that woman really dead? Is this a
joke? Is this all part of her prank?
As he gritted his teeth tightly, he suddenly felt a strange ache inside his heart that messed up his
breathing.
Tina also seemed to notice the sudden change of his emotions. Even though
she was filled with hatred inside, she
still managed to get her eyes teary. “Toby, why does Miss Reed have to suffer so much at such a young
age?”
She spoke as though she felt sorry and sad for Sonia’s death but when
everyone else wasn’t watching, she
curled up the corners of her lips.
This is great news! As long as she is
dead, I won‘t have any more worries.

6/19 When they arrived outside the shower
room, they opened the door and went straight in, ignoring the ‘men are forbidden to enter’ sign above the
door. However, the moment they entered,
they immediately witnessed the
terrifying scene of Sonia lying on the floor with a pool of blood still flowing from her head.
It took a while for Charles toe back to his senses before walking stiffly toward her.
Meanwhile, Toby stood at the door with
his eyes locked onto Sonia’s pale face
as he instinctively clenched his fists
tightly.

Etter 57 It really is Sonia! She really is dead!
At this moment, he felt as though he
had lost something that was important to him. Not only was his heart aching, it felt empty too
Suddenly, Charles’ excited voice was heard. “She is alive. Sonia isn’t dead yet. She is still breathing!”
What? Tina’s smile froze all of a
sudden and her eyes filled with
disbelief. Sonia isn‘t dead?
Toby’s eyes were trembling as he
stared at Charles. “Is it true?”
im sure of it. Sonia is indeed alive.”
He could clearly feel her weak breath
after cing his fingers right under her
nose.
At the same time, the guard let out a sigh of relief before turning toward the cleaningdy with
dissatisfaction. “What were you doing? She obviously isn’t dead, so why did you go running around
saying that she is dead?”
The cleaningdy answered aggrievedly, “I was scared when I saw her lying on the floor in a pool of
blood, so I assumed that she was dead.”
The guard was left speechless.
As for Tina, she also red at the
cleaningdy angrily. It‘s all because of her that I got all excited for nothing. Also,
why couldn‘t Sonia just die after slipping on the shower gel that I poured?
She was afraid that others might
notice her true intentions, so she quicklyposed herself and smiled. “This is great. Miss Reed is still
alive. This is great news, right, Toby?”
However, he didn’t answer her as he
walked toward Charles and Sonia.
At the moment, Charles was shaking
her gently, trying to wake her up.
Seeing hispleteck of basic medical knowledge, Toby was so infuriated that he grabbed the other
man’s cor and pulled him away from
Sonia.
“Fuller, what are you doing?” Charles roared.
Toby lifted his gaze and nced at him coldly. “It’s obvious that she is in a deepa, so you can’t just
wake her up by shaking her. Also, her head was injured, so you’ll only make her injuries worse and
cause her to lose more
blood. If you don’t want her to die, your
best choice is to call the doctor
REDMI Nomediately”
Listening to him, Charles was
dumbfounded at first before being
annoyed at himself.
Dimn it! I always lose my cool when I‘m
frustrated. I can‘t believe I didn‘t even think of such an important thing like
calling a doctor.
Quickly, he took out his phone and
called the hotel.
Meanwhile, Toby squatted down and
gently lifted Sonia’s head so that she
could lie in his arms.
Then, he tore off a piece of cloth from
his shirt as a bandage to wrap around
on the back of Sonia’s head
to stop blood from flowing out.

with distress and pity, and even he himself did not notice it.
However, Tina witnessed everything as
she stood off to one side. She saw red but she couldn’t do anything to stop it.
She knew clearly that if she stopped
him at this moment, it would only show
how petty she was that she couldn’t
even tolerate an injured person.
After making a phone call, Charles said
to them, “The hotel said that they have
already arranged a doctor to go to Sonia’s room. We just need to bring her

there right away.”
Therefore, Toby knotted the bandage
and carried her up.
Seeing the situation, Charles immediately put his phone back in his pocket and stretched out both his
hands. “I’ll take care of her.”
“No. It’s clear from your previous
actions that you are not suitable to
take care of her,” Toby muttered coldly, refusing to hand over the woman to
him.
Charles chuckled sarcastically. “If I’m
not suitable, then what makes you
suitable to take care of her? President

“He’s right, Toby. Mr. Lane is Miss Reed’s boyfriend, so you can just hand her over to him. I believe that
he will take good care of her.” Tina went up and gently urged him to let Sonia go
while she pulled at his sleeve.
Toby’s hands slowly tightened around
Sonia’s armpit and knee but in the end,
he let go and handed her over to Charles, his expression dark.
After letting out a grunt, Charles turned around and left with Sonia in his arms.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Toby

16/19 inside his heart and he clenched his fists. However, when he clenched his
fists, he suddenly noticed a sticky feelinging from his palms. After opening his hand, he realized that
other than Sonia’s blood, his hands were also stained by an unidentified liquid.
There was a faint scent from the liquid
and when he rubbed his hands, the
liquid started to form bubbles. It must
be some kind of shampoo or shower gel. I‘ve just touched Sonia, so I probably got it from her.
Upon thinking about it, he looked at the
ce where Sonia passed out and sure
enough, there really was a pool of the
same liquid
Immediately, he let out a sneer. Looks
like she spilled her toiletries and identally slipped on it. What an idiot!
“Toby, Mr. Lane and Miss Reed are
gone. Let’s go back to our room.” Tina
grabbed his arm.
However, he then lifted his arm and
withdrew it from her. “I need to wash
my hands first.”
After that, he went to the front of the
washstand and washed off the blood
and shower gel on his hands before
leaving the hot springs.
When they got back to their room, Tina
grabbed a bathrobe and gave it to him.
“Toby, you just bandaged Miss Reed and your body was stained by her blood, so why don’t you take a
bath
first?”
He had the same idea, so he took the
bathrobe and went into the bathroom but when he smelled a familiar scent in
the air, he narrowed his eyes.
