    Chapter 1469 Toby Is Back


    The other doctors looked at Tim with greater pleasure. After all, the method he proposed had never


    crossed their minds before, and now, they indeed benefited a lot from himing here. They just


    regretted that Tim wasn''t a doctor at their hospital, or they would have learned even more from him. Ah,


    it must be great to work as a doctor at First World Hospital!


    Julia was happy, too. No one would want to stay bedridden and be taken care of by others, and she


    was no exception. And besides, she worried about Sonia and wished to stay around her in order to look


    after her at all times, but given her health condition, she had no choice but to ept the fact that she


    would have to stay in bed for two to three months. Now, in a dramatic turn of events, Tim actually said


    that she could recover in about a month. This was undoubtedly a good thing because she would be


    able to return to her daughter''s side in about a month! "In that case, Dr. Lancaster, could you—" She


    looked at Tim, wanting to ask him whether he could operate on her.


    However, Tim cut her short before she could finish her sentence. "Other doctors can perform the


    surgery as long as they know how to do it." In other words, he was simply unwilling to operate on her


    by himself. It was difficult enough for him to be willing to examine her.


    Julia also knew about this, so she didn''t insist either. In any case, she was satisfied enough that others


    could perform the surgery. "Well, then, thank you for examining me, Dr. Lancaster," she thanked


    gratefully.


    "Uh-huh," Tim replied before leaving the ward.


    The other doctors went out after him to ask him how to perform the surgery, leaving only Titus, Julia,


    Sonia, and Mary in the ward again.


    Looking at Sonia, Titus suddenly asked, "Sonny, could Tim be in love with you?"


    Sonia was drinking water when she heard this and instantly choked.


    Mary quickly patted her on the back. "Young Mistress Sonia, are you alright?"


    "I''m fine." Sonia shook her head to indicate that she was fine.


    Seeing that she had gotten better, Titus and Julia heaved a sigh of relief. "I''m sorry, Sonny. I didn''t


    mean it," Titus said apologetically.


    Sonia shook her head. "It''s okay. I was just taken aback by what you said."


    Titus felt very pleased that she epted his apology and was willing to converse with him.


    Maryughed, too. "That''s right, President Gray. How could you say that Dr. Lancaster is in love with


    Young Mistress Sonia? Even I found that ridiculous just now, let alone Young Mistress Sonia." She was


    also taken aback by Titus'' question just now.


    Titus exined, "I observed him for a while just now. He cares a lot about Sonny; in fact, had it not


    been for her, he wouldn''t havee to check on us. That''s why I asked if he had feelings for her." After


    all, Tim was really a little too nice to Sonia.


    Sonia shook her head, though. "No, it''s not that he has feelings for me. He just yearns for the warmth I


    give him."


    "What do you mean?" Titus asked, indicating that he couldn''t understand what she meant.


    Sonia exined, "I saved his life back when I was a child, so he''s been regarding me as his savior


    since then. Well, he got the wrong person afterward, but ever since confirming that I was the one who


    had saved his life, he''s been very nice to me. He takes good care of me, but it''s not because he likes


    me. Rather, it''s because he''s never been shown care and concern by others. Everyone loathed and


    disliked him; he didn''t feel anything about it, but I knew he actually took it very much to heart. That''s


    why he regards me as his guiding light and has been looking after me ever since I saved him." This


    was because Sonia was the only person who had made him feel all warm. It wasn''t that Tim had no


    feelings whatsoever; it was just that he was slow in expressing his feelings.

    "I see." Titus nodded after understanding what she meant. "I thought he was in love with you, so I was


    going to tell you to pay more attention to this." Now that he thought about this, however, if Tim were


    really in love with Sonia, there was no way Toby wouldn''t know about it. In reality, Toby also knew that


    Tim''s feelings for Sonia weren''t out of love but out of emotional dependence, which was why he let Tim


    do as he pleased.


    Just then, one of the bodyguards suddenly showed up at the door. "It''s gettingte already, Young


    Mistress Sonia." He reminded Sonia. "You have to undergo surgery this afternoon."


    Titus and Julia tensed up at once. They hurriedly asked, "Surgery? What surgery?"


    Mary replied with a smile, "Don''t worry, it''s not some major surgery. It''s just an eye operation. Young


    Mistress Sonia has made an appointment yesterday to undergo surgery for a corneal transnt today."


    "I see." Titus and Julia were relieved. "Well, in that case, you two should go back now." Titus stood up,


    wanting to see Sonia and Mary off. In reality, he was also reluctant to part with Sonia, but her eyes


    were more important.


    "Goodbye." Mary helped Sonia out of the ward. After nodding to Titus, she led Sonia to the elevator.


    Titus kept standing outside the ward while watching them leave. After they entered the elevator, he


    finally let out a soft sigh and turned back into the ward. He was already at death''s door, and now, he


    was seeing Sonia less and less with each meeting. Now that he had met her this time, no one knew


    when they would meet again next time.


    …


    Sonia''s surgery went well. After the surgery, her eyes were covered in gauze, which wouldn''t be


    removed for a long time. With the gauze covering her eyes, she couldn''t see anything, which made her


    practically blind.


    However, it wasn''t like Sonia had never experienced before what it was like to be blind. She had once


    suffered from blindness due to an injury, during which time Toby had concealed his identity and sent


    Olivia to take care of her. Otherwise, she would have been at a total loss for what to do at the time.


    Learning that she had undergone surgery, Toby worked extra hours and rushed to finish everything at


    hand in one day. Then, he hurried back to the country on his private ne.


    Unfortunately, Sonia had just fallen asleep when he returned to her ward. It pained him at once when


    he saw her lying on her sickbed with a pale face and her eyes covered in gauze.


    "Young Master Toby." Mary handed him a ss of water as she noticed that his lips were dry. He''s


    rushed all the way back here in a state of anxiety, not to mention that he''s worried about Young


    Mistress Sonia. Perhaps that''s why he''s feeling dehydrated.


    Toby happened to be thirsty, so he took the ss of water and thanked Mary. Then, he threw his head


    back and finished his drink with a gulp; only then did he feel much better. "How long has she been


    asleep?" he asked while handing the ss back to Mary.


    Mary ced the ss aside. "She''s been asleep for a while. She was still under the influence of


    anesthesia after the surgery yesterday, and the drug has yet to be out of her system right now. That''s


    why she''s sleeping soundly."


    Toby nodded in understanding. Then, he took Sonia''s hand and pressed it against his cheek.


    Seeing how weary he looked and the dark circles under his eyes, Mary felt rather sorry for him. "Young


    Master Toby, you haven''t slept much over the past few days, have you?"


    Toby didn''t deny it. How could he fall asleep when he was not only busy with work but also worried


    about Sonia? Consequently, he had only slept for two to three hours each day over the past several


    days.


    Mary let out a sigh. "That won''t do. You''re not fully recovered yet, so it''s easy for something to happen


    to you if you wear yourself out like this. Who''s gonna protect and take care of Young Mistress Sonia if


    you copse? So, Young Master Toby, why don''t you lie down and sleep for a while? Young Mistress


    Sonia is still asleep at this moment, so you may sleep with her so that you''ll have the energy to speak


    to her when you two wake up together, no?"


    Her suggestion was good, so Toby nodded in agreement instead of rejecting it.


    "Well, then, Young Master Toby, please get some sleep. I shan''t bother both of you now," Mary said


    before going out. She was ready to go back to the Fuller Residence to fetch some stuff that Rose had


    called yesterday and asked her to get.


    After Mary had left, Toby took off his shoes and suit jacket. Then, he lifted the covers, quietlyy down


    on Sonia''s sickbed, and wrapped his arms around her. After holding her close, he didn''t forget to touch


    her belly.
