“I’ve made the arrangements with the specialists. They’re all suggesting that you get a coronary bypass as it is the least risky option, so you don’t have to worry about a thing,” Tobias reassured her as he sat down on the side of her bed.
Claudia got Tanya to leave the ward by having her fetch a glass of warm water from outside.
She then turned towards Tobias and asked, “You went to see that woman again, didn’t you? I know her mom is being treated in this hospital, and that you’re the one paying for her medical bills.”
“Is that why you chose this hospital, Mom? Talk about going the extra mile, eh?”
“Listen, everyone out there is saying that you’re calling off your wedding with Tanya, and that poor girl is crying every night because of it! If you weren’t planning on taking responsibility, then you shouldn’t have gotten her pregnant in the first place!” Claudia said angrily.
“I told you, I didn’t get her pregnant, so stop pressuring me already, okay? I don’t plan on getting married to anyone!”
Claudia eased up her attitude a little. “Not even with that woman? You’re not getting any younger, Tobias. If you had a kid when you should’ve, that child would probably be of working age by now! Anyway, do as you see fit with Tanya. I’m too old to be getting involved in your personal affairs.”
Tobias flashed her a faint smile. “Like I said, I don’t plan on getting married at the moment. Besides, I don’t like kids and you know that! Get some rest, Mom. I’m going out for a smoke.”
Claudia could see that he was dying to end that conversation, and decided to let him be.
It’s pointless to get angry at him, given how stubborn he is. If he really decides not to marry Tanya, then she’ll just have to accept her fate, I guess. As much as I like her, she is still an outsider and cannot compare to my precious boy! Even so, I still wouldn’t approve of Skylar. Her pretty face isn’t enough to make up for her lack of education and the fact that she has a homicidal mother!
Unbeknownst to her, Tanya had overheard everything from outside the door and was secretly cursing at her.
