Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1401

Toby woke up the moment Mary called out to him. When he heard that Sonia was awake, he immediately looked up.

Sonia's eyes were wide open, but she seemed to be in a daze as her pupils were a little dilated and her gaze looked a little blank.

Toby gently stroked her face as he called out softly, "Darling."

That got Sonia's attention. Her eyes cleared and brightened.

She turned her head ever so slightly to look at him before blinking and asking weakly, "W-What happened to me?"

Toby helped her up and placed a pillow behind her back to prop her up comfortably before replying, "Taylor came over. You were agitated by what she said and you experienced miscarriage symptoms."

Sonia froze as the memory flooded back into her mind.

She remembered everything.

That's right. It's just as he said. Taylor came and said that I'm Titus' biological daughter—the real Rina Gray.

Sonia couldn't accept this news, so she forced herself to quell the emotions that welled up inside her.

However, she forgot that her health wasn't what it once was and she couldn't take such a hard blow.

Thus, she ended up fainting and jeopardizing the baby.

She could still recall how it felt when her abdomen stung with pain.

"How's the baby?" Sonia became agitated once more and grabbed Toby's arm. Her eyes were red as she asked frantically, "How's the baby, Toby? Did we… lose the baby?"

She had been in so much pain at the time and didn't believe that the baby would be fine.

There was a chance that she lost the baby.

If that's true…

Sonia's head was buzzing. She was too afraid to even consider that possibility. Her body started trembling violently.

Toby sensed her fear. He could tell what she was thinking about, so he quickly hugged her to comfort her. "Don't worry. The baby's fine. Nothing's wrong with the baby."

Mary nodded and added, "That's right, Young Mistress Sonia. The doctor came in time so the baby's fine."

These words managed to quell the storm of emotions brewing inside Sonia. She calmed down and her mind cleared a little. After releasing Toby's arm to stroke her stomach, she asked, "Is that true?"

"Of course." Toby lovingly caressed her head. "You would've noticed the changes in your body if the baby's gone, but nothing's changed, so it means the baby's still there."

At last, Sonia relaxed.

That's true. If I had a miscarriage, the doctor would've done the procedure to clear my womb. I would be in pain right now.

She didn't feel any pain in her abdomen, so it meant that the baby was still there.

"Thank goodness." Sonia smiled with relief.

Toby and Mary exhaled in relief as well.

However, Sonia immediately thought of something. Her expression changed and she shoved Toby away.

Toby stumbled backward before he regained his balance. His heart sank when he saw her furious expression. He had a guess as to what had happened, but he pretended to ask cluelessly, "What's the matter?"

Mary could see that Sonia was upset with Toby and knew what he was about to face, so she quietly left the room.

An old woman like me shouldn't stick around for this.

I'll leave the two lovebirds alone to resolve their conflict.

Most of the time, it takes a couple very little time to resolve their conflict if they're left alone, but it will take even longer if a third person is with them.

Everyone cares about their pride and dignity, so if someone else was around, they might end up being even more stubborn so that they didn't humiliate themselves in front of other people. They might even make mountains out of molehills, and the conflict would worsen.

I should leave and let the two of them handle the rest by themselves.

Mary closed the door behind her.

Charles immediately came out of his room next door when he heard the commotion.

"Mr. Lane," Mary greeted with a smile.

"Madam Mary." Charles nodded in response before asking, "Is Sonny awake? I think I heard her voice."

"That's right. Young Mistress Sonia is awake." Mary didn't hide it from him.

Charles was relieved. "Thank goodness. I'll go in and see her."

He moved to open the door.

"Mr. Lane!" Mary held onto him to stop him from entering. "Don't go in yet, Mr. Lane. Young Mistress Sonia and Young Master Toby are in conflict right now because he helped Taylor, so it's best if you wait here first. You can go in when they've resolved their conflict."

Charles let go of the doorknob and agreed.

"Fine. I'll let them sort out their issues first," he said.

In this situation, neither one of them was in the wrong.

Toby is Sonny's husband. Even though he hadn't gotten back together with her at the time, he was already pursuing her, but during that time, he helped a woman hide her identity and didn't tell Sonia about it. Any woman would get mad about that.

Sonia's anger made sense to Charles.

At the same time, he knew that Toby didn't do anything wrong either.

Toby knew how Sonny would react if she found out about her real identity, so naturally, he didn't want her to find out, and that's why he had to help Taylor.

He did it for Sonny's sake. Even I can't say that what he did was wrong.

Therefore, Charles knew he shouldn't be going in and adding to the conflict between them. He agreed with Mary. Let them resolve their conflict first since neither one of them is wrong.

Mary smiled warmly when she saw Charles readily agreeing with her suggestion. "Thanks, Mr. Lane."

"It's nothing. I just want what's best for Sonny," Charles replied coolly as he leaned against the wall.

Sonny loves Toby. She won't break up with him over this.

Charles knew that Sonia was just having a hard time accepting the situation and hadn't thought things through yet. Once she calmed down, she would realize that everything Toby had done was indeed for her sake.

He was certain they would mend their relationship soon enough, so he wasn't about to go and be the bad guy by making them split up.

Meanwhile, Toby pulled Sonia into his arms and hugged her tightly. He refused to let go and Sonia couldn't push him away. "Calm down, darling. Don't get too agitated. What if it affects the baby again? Think about what happened earlier today!"

Sonia hadn't lost all her senses yet. Despite her rage, she could still hear what Toby said. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She immediately stopped struggling and quietly rested against his chest. He's right. I nearly lost the baby. Am I going to let myself get a miscarriage over Taylor? Definitely not. She's not as important as the baby.

Toby exhaled in relief when he saw that Sonia had stopped moving. He loosened his grip and looked down at her with an expression of guilt. "I'm sorry, Little Leaf. I lied to you. I hid things from you. You can take it out on me and hit me if you want, but I just have one request. Don't harm yourself, okay?"

He stared at her with loving, pleading eyes.

Sonia's eyes flickered before she looked away and asked hoarsely, "Why? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you help Taylor? You know very well that she's my enemy!"
