Chapter 425 Kidnapping Sonia

“Sure,” the departmental manager replied with an affirmative hum and continued his presentation.

Nonetheless, everyone else in the meeting room could no longer focus on their work as they secretly winked at each other in an ambiguous manner. Now that they had been taken over by their gossipy nature, they were all dying to know who Toby was talking so gently to over the phone. After all, he had never been so tender to anyone except Tina, but ever since she was sentenced to prison, no one had ever seen him being this gentle again. Thus, when they noticed Toby’s expression, they couldn’t help but wonder whether he was in a new relationship. Tsk! Tsk! That’s sooner than expected.

Now that he was the receipt of everyone’s visual banters, Toby knew what they were thinking. Nonetheless, he wasn’t mad at all but rather happy to see them misunderstanding the situation. “That’s enough. Pay attention to the presentation right now.”

He knocked on the table after a brief murmur of gossip. Deep down in his heart, he couldn’t wait to finish the meeting sooner so that he could head over to the hospital to visit Sonia as he wanted to be the first person she saw when her eyes recovered.

On the other hand, everyone else straightened their posture when they snapped out of their fantasies as soon as they heard his warning.

In the meantime, at the First World Hospital, Wanda kept her phone away and returned to the hallway outside the CT scan room, where she sat on the bench and waited for Sonia to emerge.

Half an hour later, Wanda immediately stood up from her seat when she saw Tim and Sonia leaving the room. “Miss Reed.”

“Wanda,” Sonia replied.

Wanda turned her attention to him and asked, “How is she, Dr. Lancaster?”

“The blood clot is completely gone and she’ll have full vision probably by tomorrow. In fact, she could start to see things clearly today,” he explained with both of his hands in his pocket.

She happily exclaimed, “Oh, that’s definitely music to our ears!”

“Alright, we should take you to ophthalmology now for a check-up,” Tim said.

“Sure.” Sonia responded with an affirmative hum as Wanda seized her arm and followed them both to the ophthalmology department.

It was already close to the afternoon after the multiple check-ups when Sonia collected her medicine from the dispensary and was ready to leave. At the same time, a worried Wanda couldn’t stop looking at her phone while wondering what took Toby so long to show up. Where is Young Master Toby? Miss Reed is about to make a move soon.

“Wanda? Wanda?” Sonia was waiting for Wanda to seize her arm but received no response as if the woman was not there. Failing to feel her caretaker’s presence, Sonia began to panic because she didn’t know what to do as a visually impaired person if Wanda wasn’t around.

Soon, Wanda heard Sonia’s fearful voice and immediately responded by looking over. “I’m here, Miss Reed.”

Wanda! When Sonia heard Wanda’s voice, she saw a glimmer of hope that she was about to be rescued and cried even louder in her muffled voice. However, the kidnappers weren’t intimidated by Wanda’s warning as they continued to drag Sonia into the van.

As Sonia was about to be dragged away, Wanda quickly approached the abductors to interfere. “I told you to release her! Didn’t you hear me?! What you’re doing is against the law, so let go of—” Before she could finish her words, a huge palm landed on her shoulder, whereupon she felt herself jolting backward. It didn’t take long for Wanda to realize that she had been shoved aside as she painfully fell onto the ground. Her face paled a moment later and it was covered by cold sweat as she struggled to get back on her feet.

Although Sonia was unable to see what had happened, she could tell from Wanda’s painful moan that she had been violently treated. At the same time, she was able to feel one of the kidnappers releasing his right hand, which she reckoned was the same hand that he used to hit Wanda.

At the thought of that, Sonia became worried because Wanda was in her advanced years and too old to put up a fight. Furthermore, she was concerned that in her attempt to stop the kidnappers, Wanda could become severely injured.

As Sonia expected, her worst fear came true when she felt two hands restraining her ankles, although one of the abductors had released her right hand earlier. Then, she felt those two hands hoisting her up before she felt herself levitating in the air.

“Ugh…” She violently shook her head and struggled by kicking in all directions as her fear suffocated her. What are these guys doing?!

Meanwhile, the two abductors became annoyed with Sonia’s struggle and they became even more aggressive. One of them proceeded to tighten his grip around her ankle to hurt her as a gesture of warning. Besides, he also glacially threatened,, “If you keep squirming, I’m going to crush your ankle and leave you crippled!”

When she heard tha man’s words, Sonia froze in terror. Did they just say that they’ll crush my ankle?! Although those words might have sounded like a bluff, she had no doubt about what those kidnappers were capable of doing. While she reckoned Tina was the worst person she had ever dealt with, she was sure that there was someone else worse out there in the world.
