Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 1474

Expectedly, after Grace found out why Sonia was seeking her out, she immediately provided her with many suggestions. When a person got older, they didn't have as many attachments, and things like expensive jewelry and valuable gifts didn't mean as much to them. After all, there was nothing they hadn't seen or owned at their age, so it wouldn't be a surprise to them no matter how much they had. Old women like Rose in particular were never lacking in these things, and it was never what they wanted either, but a happy and large family instead.

In fact, Sonia didn't have to give Rose any gifts at all—the two children in her belly were the best presents. Of course, as the children weren't born yet, she couldn't just show up empty-handed, but a few presents related to the children would suffice, such as their medical reports and the ultrasounds so that Rose knew they were doing well and how their development was coming along. Grace was certain that Rose would love to receive this as a present.

Sonia smiled, thinking that her words made sense. Hence, she immediately dug out her previous medical reports after hanging up.

When Toby returned, he saw the reports sprawled all over the bed and frowned. "Darling, what are you doing?"

Sonia didn't hide her plans from him and told him after he asked.

Hearing that, Toby chuckled. "Let me give you a hand, then."

"Okay." Sonia pointed at a pile of papers on the other end.

She had regained her vision the day before as cornea transplants didn't have a long recovery period in the first place. After all this time, she had long removed her gauze and was able to see, but she couldn't overuse her eyes and had to give them plenty of rest.

Toby sat down and sorted out the papers with Sonia, discussing which ones were appropriate gifts as they went.

Meanwhile, Mary was hanging the laundry on the balcony while listening to the couple's conversation with a cheery smile on her face. These days were extremely cozy and peaceful, and it would be great if things were always like this.

However, peace and calm always signaled an incoming storm, and on the day of Rose's birthday, Toby was unable to accompany Sonia back to the old manor. He had planned to do so, but something came up at the company in the morning—a large signboard had fallen down and crushed an employee to death.

This was not a small issue, so Toby had to personally take care of it, and he had no choice but to leave Sonia to return to the old manor alone. Naturally, he was worried about her safety, so he had issued a large number of bodyguards for her before his departure. It was only after he ensured that they were able to escort her to the old manor that he left in relief.

In the car, Toby was reading the news about this matter with a dark expression, the murderous intent that was wafting off him suffocating everyone around him.

"What exactly happened? Why did the signboard fall?" Toby stared at Tom, who was driving, and asked, "Did the safety department conduct their safety checks properly?"

After all, it was their job to thoroughly check all of the equipment, and now that a large signboard had fallen and even crushed someone to death, the biggest responsibility fell on Fuller Group and the safety department.

Having anticipated this question, Tom had questioned them before coming over, and he replied while driving, "President Fuller, this isn't because the safety department didn't do their job. They check the equipment every week, and yesterday was the day of their weekly inspections. There was nothing wrong with the report that the head of the safety department handed in either."
