Chapter 475


    Chapter 475 If You Want to Go After Her, Do It


    “Conflict?” Sonia frowned puzzledly. “No.”


    “Are you sure?” Zane clearly refused to believe her, but she nodded solemnly. “Of course not. But why


    the question?”


    “It’s because of Toby’s attitude just now. It was too out of the norm.” Zane stared at the private dining


    room of the restaurant that Toby was dining at, squinted his eyes with a perplexed expression.


    Sonia looked in the same direction. “Yeah, he was acting a little weird.”


    “Right?” Zane caressed his chin, looking like a pensive detective. “Normally, if he sees me walking close


    to you, he’d show up and wreak havoc around us because he wouldn’t allow you to be with any other


    man. He didn’t do that today. By the looks of it, he seemed happy to see us together.”


    Sonia remained silent but bit her lower lip anxiously, for she had observed everything Zane told her, and


    it made her uneasy.


    “Is that why you guessed that there was a conflict between me and him?” she questioned as she


    clenched her fists.


    He nodded. “That’s right. If not, I can’t exin why Toby would act in such a way.”


    “That’s because he has let go,” Sonia looked at the ground as she muttered.


    Zane was taken aback. “Let go?”


    “I said Toby has given up on me. He won’t pursue me again.” She clenched her fists even tighter.


    At her reply, Zane’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. “Are you serious?”


    “Yes,” Sonia answered curtly.


    By now, Zane’s mouth was wide open in shock. “How is that possible? Toby loves you so much. He’s


    also pretty aggressive. Once he sets his eyes on something, he will never give up on it.”


    “It’s definitely possible. He told me in person.” Sonia stared at him.


    Toby had told her the truth on the day he woke up from thea. He said that he would not pursue her


    and ask her to be with him anymore.


    For some reason, Sonia recalled his words vividly. She should have been ted when the man she


    hated decided to stop bugging her, yet she did not feel happy at all. In reality, she even felt a little


    depressed, apanied by some bitterness and a hint of inexplicable emotions.


    Upon seeing the serious look in Sonia’s eyes, Zane finally believed that Toby had given up. However, the


    truth was more unbelievable and shocking for him.


    “Did Toby really… give up? That’s…” His mouth opened and closed intermittently. Even after a while, he


    could not calm down at all.


    He had a hunch that something must have happened for Toby to do something as impossible as giving


    up on Sonia.


    “Alright, Zane, it’ste now. Gotta go.” She lifted her wrist to check the time on the watch.

    Zane tried to put aside the shock and beamed at her. “I’ll send you home.”


    “It’s okay. I’ll hail a cab. You’re heading in a different direction. If you send me home, it’d be too much


    trouble for you.”


    After that, she walked to the side of the road and hailed a cab. She went into the cab and waved at him.


    “Bye.”


    Her movement was quick and fluid, giving him no chance to object.


    In the end, Zane could only sigh in defeat. “Goodbye then.”


    Sonia rolled up her windows. “Let’s go.”


    “Sure.” The cab driver shifted gears and cruised down the road.


    Standing by the road and staring at the disappearing cab, Zane frowned as he fell into unreadable


    thoughts.


    A momentter, he took out his phone and dialed Toby’s number.


    “What’s up?” Toby’s deep voice came from the other end.


    Zane went back to his car and asked while he leaned on the car door, “Toby, did anything happen to


    you?”


    “What do you mean?” Toby had changed into the striped patient robe in navy and white. He was seated


    on the sofa in his room and fired back the question with a frown.


    Zane inhaled deeply. “I mean… Sonia told me you don’t n to pursue her anymore. Is that true?”


    “Yeah.” Toby nodded, admitting that he had made the statement before.


    Zane tightened his grip on his phone. “But Toby, this is not you at all. You’re not the type to give up


    easily. That’s why I asked you if anything has happened to you that forced you to give her up?”


    “Do these questions even matter?” Toby pursed his lips, and a mocking look shed across his eyes. “I


    remember that you’re into her, so you should be happy that I have given her up. Why are you


    interrogating me now? Do you want me to not give her up?”


    “Of course not. I am d you backed out because that means one less rival. My chances of winning her


    heart would be higher. But, Toby, you’re my friend. You giving Sonia up, and my concern for you are two


    separate events. You can’t put the two together. I understand you very well. You wouldn’t have given up


    unless something had happened. Tell me, what has happened to you?” Zane urged him with furrowed


    brows.


    Toby looked at his feet and muttered gently, “Nothing in particr happened. It’s just that I’ve had


    enough, so I wanted to let go. Go ahead, and go after her if you love her. I won’t get between you two.”


    With that, he hung up on Zane.


    “Hello?! Hello?!” Zane yelled at his phone. When he received no reply, he checked his phone again only


    to realize that he was staring at his home screen. He almost jumped in anger. “Why is he always so


    annoying?”


    Zane wed at his hair impatiently and put his phone down, after which he got in his car. It took a while


    for him to digest the situation and make sense of things, but his brows remained knitted as he seemed to


    ponder on some matters.


    I have a hunch that things are not as simple as it seems. Something tells me that something bad must


    have happened to Toby. Hmm…


    He unlocked his phone to make another call, after which came the voice of a sleepy person yawning.


    “Mr. Coleman, are you looking for me?”


    “Yes, I have something that I need you to look into,” Zane exined with a straight face.


    The man could sense the gravity of the matter from his voice. He sobered up and replied in a serious


    tone, “Please go ahead.”


    “I want you to secretly probe into what’s happening to Tobytely,” Zane requested.


    As a sign of agreement, the man nodded. “Sure, Mr. Coleman. I’lle back with the results in two


    days.”


    “Okay.” Zane ended the call.


    In the hospital, Toby threw his phone aside and leaned into the sofa, after which he covered his eyes


    with his right arm.


    The room was thick with the air of loneliness because no one knew how much it pained him to talk about


    letting go of Sonia to Zane.


    Had it not been for his heart issues, he would not have pushed the woman he loved into the arms of


    another man.


    “President Fuller.” At that moment, Tom pushed the door open and entered.


    Toby took his hand off his eyes and sat up to look at him. “Has everything been taken care of?”


    “Yes.” Tom nodded.


    Toby nodded approvingly as well. Next, he stood up. “Take care of my discharge procedure after this.”


    “What?” Tom was taken aback and gave him an astonished stare. “President Fuller, are you leaving the


    hospital?”


    “Yeah.” He walked to the patient’s bed, and Tom followed nervously behind him. “But why? Your wound is


    not fully healed yet. It’s not the time to leave.”


    “Home recovery makes no difference.” He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his forehead. “Most


    importantly, I don’t want Sonia to take care of me anymore.”


    “Why?” Tom had many questions in mind.


    From the start, President Fuller was happy when Miss Reed had promised to take care of him because


    he could have more time with her.


    Why did he change his mind now?


    Toby pursed his lips and exined coolly, “I have let go of her. Of course, I should stop being too close to


    her.”


    Hearing that, Tom immediately understood what was going on as he silentlymented the couple’s fate.
