Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 208

Meanwhile, Tim noticed Toby’s reaction, which prompted him to darken his gaze, as it appeared that Toby cared about Sonia more than he thought. Thus, he couldn’t help but wonder how Toby felt toward Tina.

His feelings for her are... questionable.

“She is fine. All she needs is just some rest, and she’ll be up and around again. Alright, I still have work to attend to. Sonia will be transferred to the general ward later on, and she’ll be good to go as soon as she wakes up.” Tim turned around and walked away after he finished his sentence. As soon as he left, the nurse emerged behind him, wheeling Sonia out of the operation room.

Soon, Charles and Zane quickly got closer to Sonia to check on her not long before they noticed her rosy cheeks, which indicated that

Tim was telling the truth that he didn’t harm her in the surgery. After making sure Tim didn’t do anything hurtful to Sonia, the two men felt as if they had taken a huge load off their chest. In the meantime, although Toby didn’t approach Sonia, he could clearly see her lying on the bed restfully, whereupon he heaved a sigh of relief.

Not long after that, Sonia was wheeled into the general ward while the nurse tended to her. Desperately, Zane and Charles rushed into the ward, but on the other hand, Toby merely watched from afar as he sat in his wheelchair. Seeing how Zane and Charles expressed their concerns toward the lady, Toby suddenly envied the two of them because they could tend to her without having to hold their feelings back.

As the two men’s loving interaction with Sonia slowly turned Toby’s envy into jealousy, Tom could sense the unpleasant aura his boss was radiating. Knowing why that was happening, he rubbed his nose and asked, “Let’s get inside, President Fuller.”

“No.” Toby looked down a little, thinking he wouldn’t be of help since there were so many other men around Sonia to look after her. “Let’s go.” Toby pursed his lips, unknowingly giving away his bitter jealousy.

“Alright.” Tom wheeled Toby away in his wheelchair, turning around before heading toward the elevator. Oh, come on, President Fuller! How much more does it have to take before you finally understand who you’re really in love with? It’ll be too late if Miss Reed falls for someone else.

In the ward, Zane noticed Toby leaving from the corner of his eye but did nothing to make the latter stay or say goodbye. After all, they were love rivals despite their friendship, and he wasn’t going to ruin his day to persuade Toby to stay.

As he expected, Toby left in a fit of pique after seeing how he and Charles tended to Sonia.

Ten minutes later, the anesthesia in Sonia’s body began to wear off as she slowly woke up. Soon, she opened her eyes with her trembling eyelashes before the white ceiling came into view. Then, when she found herself covered in a white blanket, she immediately knew where she was.

“You’re up, Darling.” Charles put down the kettle when he noticed Sonia’s twitching eyelids before approaching her with exhilaration.

“Since when did I get out of the operation room?” Sonia turned around and looked at the man.

“About ten minutes ago,” Charles recalled how long it had been and answered.

“Ten minutes ago?” Sonia appeared to be surprised, finding it hard to believe that she managed to come around within such a short period of time.

“What’s wrong, Darling?” Charles had his eyes on Sonia.

After calming herself down from the surprise, Sonia shook her head and answered, “Nothing. I’m fine. I was just surprised that I came to my senses so quickly. By the way, how was my surgery...” Before she could finish her sentence, something crossed her mind just as she placed her hands on her abdomen.

It doesn’t hurt! No wonder it feels like something is missing to me, and the pain is what’s missing here. What was going on? Was I given some local anesthetic? Wait a second! Who would ever doze off from a local anesthetic?

Sonia grew more and more confused as she lifted the blanket and her shirt to check on her tummy. Seeing no wound on it, she was bewildered by one question that flashed through her mind. “Did I just undergo surgery?”

While Sonia fixed her confused gaze on Charles, the latter couldn’t take his eyes off her fair stomach, as if his eyes were about to fall out. When he heard her question, he faked a cough and pulled himself together. “Of course not.”

“Of course not?” Sonia sat up straight with a pair of furrowed eyebrows. “Why?”

“The doctor said your health condition isn’t permissible for you to undergo the surgery for the time being. So, the surgery will probably have to wait until you get better,” Charles explained.

“Oh, I see.” Sonia puckered her lips and lowered her head, rubbing her tummy with a sorrowful look as she didn’t know whether she could bring herself to undergo surgery again now that it had been postponed. For some reason, she heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that her unborn child was still with her.

“You’re up, Sonia.” Zane’s voice could be heard coming from the door at that moment. As Sonia looked at him and responded with an affirmative hum, he walked closer to her with a smile.
