Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 268

When he received her letter and read that she was going to confess to the person whom she was in love with, it triggered his heart attack and caused him to be admitted to the hospital where he barely recovered half a month later. He then replied to the letter and asked her to meet him since he wanted to tell her his truest thoughts.

It was at that moment when the hospital notified Toby that they had found a suitable heart donor. He finally made the decision to confess to Sonia after he knew that he would be able to continue living. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done so as he didn’t want to be a burden to her since he would be at death’s door anyway.

By the time she had received his letter and contacted him, it was already the same day as his operation. It took him about a month of rest before he could even get out of his bed.

However, when he asked Tom to bring him to the agreed location where he was to meet Sonia, Tina had shown up instead.

As Toby had never seen what Maple looked like whereas Tina could provide details of what they had written in their correspondences, he came to believe that Tina was Maple.

Sonia’s eyes widened in shock when she heard what he said. “Are you saying that Tina pretended to be me to meet you?!”

“Yes!” Toby nodded. “Six years ago, the person who showed up at 10:00AM on the day that we agreed upon was Tina.”

“That ain’t right. You were the one who told me to meet you at 2:00PM. Yet, you never arrived even though I waited until the night!” She frowned as she stared at him while he shared the same expression.

Toby then asked, “Since when did I tell you to meet me at 2:00PM? I still remember clearly that I agreed to meet you at 10:00AM on the phone six years ago.

“Yes. You said that we are meeting at 10:00AM. However, I received a text from you on the morning of that day, claiming that you couldn’t make it on time and wanted to change our meeting to 2:00PM,” Sonia explained before she clenched her fists.

“I never texted you that day,” Toby responded.

However, she shook her head. “That’s impossible. May told me that you sent me a text.”

“Someone else told you?” He narrowed his eyes. “So, you’re saying that you never saw that text message with your own eyes?” Sonia trailed off, “Yes...” Upon noticing the man’s dark expression, she suddenly realized that she was tricked back then!

Toby had never sent her any text messages and May probably made it up to prevent them from meeting each other. As for why May did that, Sonia could already figure that it was because she was helping Tina.

Everyone in the dorm was aware that Sonia was writing letters to John in her sophomore year and they’d even make fun of her for using letters to communicate with another person since there was access to technology to do so.

Tina used to be one of those commentators back then and she’d even secretly read Sonia’s letter addressed to him. However, instead of feeling embarrassed after she was caught, she still tried to ask Sonia for John’s details. Back then, Sonia never thought much about it. Now that she reflected on it again, Tina had probably figured out that John was Toby and schemed to meet him.

At the thought of that, Sonia’s eyes reddened in anger and hatred. She’d never imagine that a person could stoop so low.

Upon noticing that she was shaking in anger, Toby tried to reach out to comfort her.

Nevertheless, she coldly swatted his hand away.

As he stared at his reddening hand, Toby’s gaze dimmed. She still hasn’t forgiven me yet...

Then, he retracted his hand. “Do you now understand why I keep saying that the person whom I’ve always loved is you instead of Tina?”

Sonia remained silent as something flashed past her eyes while Toby anxiously looked at her. He didn’t know whether she believed what he said nor could he guess what her reply would be. Would she forgive me if she believes what I say?
