Chapter 210


    Skr quickly defused the situation when she saw how offended Miranda was. “I was just kidding, Mom!


    Wait here while I go get you those ribs, okay?”


    She decided to ask for directions to the cafeteria at the counter and overheard the nurses chatting


    excitedly.


    “I heard Tobias’ mom has just been admitted into our hospital today! We’ve got cardiologists from all over


    the world over here! Did you see the flowers outside the Cardiology Department? It’s crazy!”


    “The lives of the wealthy are worth more, I guess… I bet the director is stressed out of his mind after


    epting such a high-profile client!”


    “My friends from the Cardiology Department told me how handsome Tobias is. I can’t even imagine how


    many women he’s slept with! It’s such a shame that he’s already got himself a fiancée, and a pregnant


    one at that!”


    The two of them were so carried away with their conversation that they didn’t even notice Skr standing


    there.

    The news hit her like a freight train and left her devastated.


    So Tanya is still sticking to him like glue, huh… Tobias said he’d take care of things with her, but when?


    After udia’s surgery?


    After finding out the directions to the cafeteria, Skr took the elevator to the first floor.


    Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening was followed by a deep male voice.


    “Where are you going?” Skr looked up and saw Tobias standing in front of her.


    After a brief exchange of nces, Skr quickly looked away as she exined, “My mom called for me.


    I wasn’t following you or anything!” Considering how suspicious he is, I’ve got to exin myself clearly or


    he’ll get the wrong idea and think I’m following him! Well, I guess I can’t really me him for being so


    paranoid. Given his position, he’s probably dealt with all sorts of liars on a daily basis! The na?ve young


    boy who would readily believe everything people tell him is long gone!


    “Yeah, I know. I saw you hiding behind the pir when I arrived earlier.”


    Skr gasped. And here I thought I did a great job at hiding too!


    “Why didn’t youe to say hi to me, then? Was it inconvenient for you to do so?” she asked as she


    continued walking in front of him, the two of them not more than two feet apart.


    Tobias didn’t bother holding back and replied honestly, “It is indeed inconvenient at the moment. Don’t


    worry, we’ll have plenty more opportunities in the future to get you two properly introduced.”


    Oh, wow! Gee, thanks for assuming that I was trying to suck up to your mom, Tobias!


    Tobias followed her all the way to the cafeteria where she bought honeyed pork ribs, BBQ ribs, and a


    Caesar sd.


    Skr didn’t really know what Miranda’s favorite food was. All she remembered was seeing here


    home drunk as a skunk all the time when she was a kid. The memories of her momughing and crying


    on the floor like a madman still haunted her to this day.


    Before Tobias was able to reach for his wallet, Skr had already paid for the food using her phone.


    I’d better learn to pay with my phone too, or she’ll always beat me to the bill! I know she rarely uses the


    ck Card I gave her, so she’s basically paying out of her own pocket. That stubborn girl…


    That thought left him feeling ufortable as he believed men should pay for their women.


    “Have you taken your lunch?” Tobias grabbed her by the wrist when he saw her hurrying off.


    Her face is pale, her lips are cracked, and yet that hasn’t stopped her pretty face from getting the


    attention of every guy in the cafeteria!
