Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 487

“You may leave now.” Toby massaged his forehead.

Toby was still looking pale, much to Tom’s worry, so Tom stood there and refused to leave. “Are you really alright, sir? Should I take you to the hospital? Dr. Lancaster said you can get discharged, but you have to rest. You went against his advice and came back to work immediately. That’s going to take a toll on your heart, so—”

“It’s fine. I know what I’m doing,” Toby sipped some water and interrupted him. “I’ll go to the hospital if I can’t hold on anymore.

“Very well then. I’ll be going now. Call me if anything happens.” Tom sighed and took two steps back before turning around to leave.

After Tom left, Toby put his glass down and took a bottle of pills from his drawer. He uncapped it and popped two pills into his mouth before swallowing them dry.

Once he did so, Toby screwed the cap shut and fiddled with the bottle, looking at it mockingly. The pills were specifically made to keep his heart condition under control. He had taken it for more than twenty years previously, and just when he thought he was free of them, he was once again forced to take them after six years.

But Toby regretted nothing. He’d still jump down the cliff for Sonia if he had to make the same decision again. Toby heaved a sigh and tossed the bottle back into the drawer. He then closed it and went back to work on the documents.

A hospital staff member called Toby that afternoon to get him to come over for a checkup.

Toby postponed the less important plans in the afternoon and left with Tom.

They came to the company’s car park, but before they got to the car, Toby suddenly stopped and stared ahead in disbelief.

Tom had no idea what was going on. When Toby stopped, he stopped as well. “What is it, sir?” he asked.

“Sonia’s here.” Toby looked at the woman who was standing beside his car.

Tom quickly stuck his head out from behind Toby to look at the car, and he saw Sonia there. “It is her. But why is she here?” Tom was curious.

Toby squinted, but he walked ahead without saying anything.

When Sonia heard the sound of footsteps, she looked up from her phone to see who it was. After seeing Toby and Tom coming over, she straightened her back and turned to face Toby. “Hello, Mr. Fuller.”

“What do you want?” Toby looked at her, his expression inscrutable.

Sonia frowned. He’s still as cold as he was two days ago. “I’m here for an answer.” She looked at him.

Toby pursed his lips. “What answer?” He looked at her curiously.

Sonia said, “Why did you stop me from taking care of you? I need to know the reason, Mr. Fuller.”

She didn’t care why he gave up on her, nor did she want to know why. However, she just couldn’t understand why he refused to let her take care of him. It made her feel like she did something to annoy him, so he didn’t want her near him anymore.

And his refusal made it impossible for her to repay his kindness. Tom might have said she didn’t have to do it, but she didn’t take the advice. That’d go against her creed and turn her into nothing but someone who only knew how to take but not give. She’d never allow herself to become that kind of woman.
