Chapter 330 Don’t Call the Police
He thought that she needed him, but he didn’t expect that she was merely transferring money for the meal. Does she really not want to owe me anything at all? It’s just a few bucks, yet she wanted to make things so clear with me.
An exhausted Toby rubbed his temples and kept his phone away. He did not accept the money transfer and simply pretended not to see it as he wanted to wait until it would be automatically returned to her 24 hours later.
“President Fuller, the upcoming appointment—” Tom’s voice sounded in the back.
Toby raised his hand and interrupted, “Cancel the unimportant ones and postpone the pertinent ones.”
As Tom knew why Toby did this, he closed the planner and answered, “Understood. Do you want to go to the hospital after this?”
Toby nodded. “Prepare the car.”
“Okay.” Tom pushed his glasses.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, the sky was already dark and drizzling.
It was after Tom parked the car that Toby opened the car door, pulled an umbrella out and stepped out. “You can get off work now; come and pick me up tomorrow morning.” I’ll be staying in the hospital overnight.
Tom gave a slight nod before he replied, “Okay, President Fuller.”
After that, Toby held his umbrella and walked toward the hospital inpatient building. When he arrived outside Sonia’s ward, a nurse on night duty emerged from inside and bowed slightly to greet him. “President Fuller, you’re here.”
He nodded. “Is she asleep?”
As she knew who he was asking about, she shook her head before she replied, “Miss Reed is still awake. She has just finished receiving the anti-inflammatory drugs via infusion.”
“Okay, got it. Go on with your work then.” Toby waved his hand. Thus, the nurse excused herself and left. Next, he stood in front of the door of the ward and knocked.
Sonia was reading a report inside the ward and answered without raising her head, “Please come in.”
Upon hearing her voice, Toby turned the handle and opened the door to enter. “What are you looking at so seriously?”
At this, she was stunned and lifted her head to ask in response, “Why are you here?”
When he heard the frosty tone in her reply, he was unhappy for a moment. While he kept the umbrella in the bucket next to the door, he answered, “I said I would come over to visit you tonight.”
She frowned at his reply. Although she remembered that he had said those words before he left earlier in the day, she had merely ignored it at that time. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the report in her hand once again. “Really? Now that you’ve seen me, you can leave.”
It was clear that she was pushing him away.
The moment Toby heard this, he pursed his thin lips. “Sonia, will you stop being so unfriendly with me?”
At this moment, Sonia had returned to the cold, unfriendly person that she was when they first divorced.
Whenever he said a name, he paid attention to the change in her expression. Her expression had remained the same when he brought up Charles and Zane. However, the moment he spoke about Carl, her eyes flicked for a moment. Although she quickly regained her composure, Toby still caught the subtle expression and narrowed his eyes before he added in a deep voice, “It’s Carl, right?”
At this, Sonia froze and her grip on the phone tightened. He had actually made a correct guess!
Toby clenched his fists and said, “Sonia, he is someone you consider your brother. Yet, he’s the one who poisoned you!”
She bit her lip. “Yes, Carl administered the poison, but—”
Before she could finish her words, she saw him taking out his phone and dialed the emergency number. So, she quickly shouted, “Toby, what are you doing?”
“I’m calling the police!” He looked at her with a cold face. “I won’t let the person who poisoned you off the hook!” What’s more, this person has killed my child!
When she heard Toby saying that he was going to call the police, Sonia hurriedly rose to a sitting position on the bed while ignoring the pain in her belly. “No, you can’t call the police! Toby, I won’t let you call the police!”
She grabbed his arm with a firm expression.
Then, he tightly gripped the phone. “Sonia, do you know what you’re doing? You’re helping a criminal!”
“You speak as if you have not helped a criminal before.” She sneered at him. “What Tina did was much worse than Carl, yet you have repeatedly helped to protect her. Don’t you think it’s extremely hypocritical of you to criticize me?”
Toby suddenly found himself speechless when he heard Sonia’s words because what she said was the truth. Even though he hadn’t voluntarily done it, it was still executed by him.
