Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 100

Toby didn’t budge, so Sonia couldn’t close the door. Out of anger, she tried to shove him away, but she forgot that one of her legs lacked the strength to stand. Therefore, not only did she fail to shove Toby away, but she lost her balance and fell backward.

Toby’s pupil contracted with fear when he witnessed that. Even though he reached out in an attempt to hold her, he was a second too slow, so he missed her arm. Not only did he fail to hold her, but he ended up falling down alongside her.

There was a loud thud when Sonia fell down on the carpet in the foyer with both of Toby’s arms propped beside her shoulders. He was kneeling on one knee as his figure loomed over her body.

Both of them were stunned when they locked eyes. Sonia didn’t foresee such an outcome, so she was blushing while her heart raced. Her look of chagrin caused Toby’s eyes to darken as he recalled the night when she was drunk.

That night, she was as enchanting and alluring as a fairy. The thought made Toby’s body heat up as he gulped, while his gaze was fixed on her lips that were slightly parted when he lowered his head to look downward.

At that moment, Sonia spoke indifferently. “Have you had enough? Can you get up now?”

Toby was jolted awake. When he realized what he was about to do, he tensed up, his lips forming a grim line. “I’m sorry.”

After he got up, he reached out to give her a hand, but she didn’t accept his help. Instead, she propped herself up with both hands on the floor. Toby’s gaze darkened as he clenched his midair fists and retracted his arm.

All of a sudden, Sonia let out a hiss, which brought a nervous expression that even Toby himself was seemingly unaware of to his face. “What’s the matter?”

Sonia glared at him furiously. “Toby Fuller, it’s all your fault! Are the Fullers my natural enemies? My ankle is hurting again after the fall just when it has finally healed enough to not bother me!” As she spoke, her eyes reddened in aggrievedness. When I’m away from Toby, I’ll do great on my own, but sh*t happens whenever I’m in his presence! This is vexing!

Toby felt his heart scrunching up when he saw Sonia on the verge of tears. However, he made sure to not let it show. “I will take responsibility for that.” With that, he bent down to carry her in his arms, bridal style.

Sonia’s eyes went wide as she looped her arms around his neck subconsciously, only to release him immediately when she felt the warmth of his skin on her palms. “Put me down!” she demanded ill-temperedly.

Ignoring her request, Toby brought her to the living room to set her down on the sofa. Then, he made a call on his phone. “Arrange for a doctor to drop by at Bayside Residence.”

Bayside Residence? Isn’t that where Miss Reed lives? For a moment, Tom was stupefied. Despite the various questions that popped up in his mind, he was smart enough to keep them to himself while taking his orders from Toby in deference.

Soon, the doctor arrived, and Toby pointed at Sonia, who was reclining on the sofa. ‘Check her leg.”

“Alright.” The doctor gave him a nod before walking up to Sonia.

Not wanting to limp for the rest of her life, Sonia quietly offered up her leg. After the doctor did a checkup, he opened his kit.

Standing beside them, Toby inquired, “How’s she doing?”

“She’s fine. It’s just that she sprained her ankle again when she almost made a full recovery. It means she’ll have to start the process again,” the doctor answered while fishing for some medicine that would help improve blood circulation.

Is it that serious? Toby furrowed his brows.

Sonia had a sullen look on her face. I could’ve been free from my crutches in two days! But look at me now! I’ll need to continue using them for some time. Geez! Sonia bit on her lip in frustration as her chest heaved.

After applying the ointment on Sonia’s injury, the doctor left. Then, Sonia rubbed a finger in between her brows, exhausted from the interlude. “Alright, you should leave too. You should be able to see now that all your presence brings to me is trouble. So, don’t you come to me ever again."

With a frown, Toby was about to say something, only to be deterred by a phone call from Tina. Somehow, he didn’t feel like picking it up, especially when he was in Sonia’s presence, but he ended up taking the call nonetheless. It was because he knew Tina was insecure and would keep on calling until he picked up.

“Hey, Tina.” Toby checked on Sonia with his peripheral vision when he called Tina s name. He just had the sudden urge to see her reaction.
