Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 467

Sonia nodded. “A little bit.”

“All right, darling. Since the baby is gone, you shouldn’t think too much about that anymore.” Charles patted her shoulder.

Once again, Sonia nodded. “I know. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Her intention to head to the hospital was indeed concerning, even putting a frown on his face. “You’re going to see Toby right now?”

“Now that I’m back, I have to take care of him. Anything wrong with that?” Sonia looked at Charles, but he pouted. “Not really. It’s just that you haven’t even taken some rest before going to see him. It’s almost like you’re obsessed with him.”

“I already told you that it’s nothing like that; I’m just repaying his kindness.

Come on, stop saying nonsense and just drive.” Sonia closed her eyes and refused to continue the conversation.

Left with no choice, Charles glanced at her from the corner of his eye. The look in his eyes darkened, but he said nothing more.

Upon arriving at First World Hospital, Sonia opened her eyes and got out of the car. She took her luggage from the trunk, after which she stood by the road to peer at Charles through the window.

“Goodbye.”

“Are you sure you don’t want me to wait for you? I can take you back to Bayside Residence later,” Charles asked as he placed his arm out the window.

Sonia shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t know when I’ll be leaving either, so I can’t make you wait. Just go ahead.”

“Well, if you say so.” Charles shrugged and rolled up the car window.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, prompting him to roll down the car window once again. Sonia was already making her way into the hospital when she heard him shouting, “Wait, darling!” “What’s wrong?” Sonia stopped walking and turned around.

Charles replied, “My mom had asked you to visit her when you’re free. You remember that, don’t you?”

Sonia nodded. “Of course. But my eyes hadn’t recovered then, so I wanted to visit her after the recovery.”

“Now that your eyes have fully recovered, when are you going to see her?” Charles seemed to want her to set an actual date.

Sonia cocked her head to one side as she thought for a while. “Tomorrow, I think.

I’ll go tomorrow night.”

“Sure.” Charles gestured an ‘OK’ sign toward her. “I’ll inform my mom later.”

“All right. Thanks so much, Charles.” Sonia beamed at him as usual.

Charles waved his hand. “Don’t sweat it. I’ll get going now, and you, try not to stay too long in the hospital. Just visit Toby for a little while, then go home and rest.”

“Okay.” Sonia nodded.

Charles rolled up the windows, after which he drove away. On the other hand, Sonia stood by the road, and only when his car disappeared from sight did she turn around and enter the hospital.

As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw Tim leading a patient in the opposite direction, and he seemed to catch sight of her as well. He said something to the patient, upon which he walked toward Sonia. “Hey, you’re back.”

“I sure am.” Sonia had a slight grin on her face.

Tim placed his hands in his coat pockets. “How’s your back?”

“Much better. It doesn’t hurt so often anymore,” Sonia touched her own back as she replied.

“That’s good to know.” Tim nodded in satisfaction before he asked, “Are you visiting Toby?”

“Yes. I wouldn’t be here otherwise.” Sonia nodded to confirm his question.

Habitually, Tim slightly adjusted his glasses. “Go ahead, then. He should be done with the examinations by now, so he must still be awake.”

“All right, I’ll get going then.” Sonia waved goodbye, whereupon she walked toward the elevator with her luggage in hand.

After Tim saw her off, he returned to the patient. The patient was an elderly man over 70 years old. He was one of Tim’s regular patients, which explained why they seemed to be familiar with each other. When he saw Tim return, he grinned as he asked, “Dr. Lancaster, is that your girlfriend?”

“No.” Tim shook his head.

The older man didn’t give up. “A love interest, then?”

Tim smiled. “No. She’s my benefactor.”

He wasn’t any ordinary Joe, so how would he know anything about relationships? Even if he did, he would never fall in love. To him, relationships were nothing more than burdens.
