Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Carl Had Changed

It was only then that Tim shifted his gaze.

At this moment, Sonia pursed her pale lips and looked at him, obviously dissatisfied. “Dr. Lancaster, you can’t do that.”

Light refracted off his glasses as he spoke. “Don’t worry. I just wanted to scare him. I’m not really going to do that.”

“Really?” With her eyes squinted, she didn’t hide her suspicion.

This so-called doctor was a devil in disguise. Back when he thought Tina was her, he had even killed someone for her.

Thus, it made sense that she’d think he was both capable and daring to do something to Toby.

“That’s for sure. I’d let anyone down but you.” Giving a pat on her shoulder, he added, “Alright. You can go take a look at him if you want. I’ll head out first.”

After saying that, he retracted his hand and tucked it back into his pocket before leaving the ward.

Looking at Toby, she said, “Charles, Mr. Brown, you can leave first too. I’d like to stay with him alone for a while.”

Though Tom was frowning, he didn’t refuse, and he left.

However, Charles didn’t budge. “Baby, he’s not awake yet. Why do you want to be alone with him? He isn’t able to see or hear you.”

“I know, but I know what I’m doing. Just go along, Charles.” She turned to look at him and insisted.

Left with no choice, Charles could only obey and leave.

Outside the ward, he was about to find Tom to have a chat about something, but his phone rang.

After taking out his phone, he saw that it was a call from Carl.

As Tom was standing right next to Charles, he could easily see what was displayed on his phone––a call from Carl. At once, he scoffed. “The culprit has finally decided to come forward. And here I thought that he’d be hiding out of fear after learning what he did to President Fuller and Miss Reed.”

Three days ago, it was the day that Toby and Sonia fell off the cliff.

After that happened, he was busy looking for a rescue team to search the foot of the mountain.

However, Carl had suddenly gone missing as if he vanished into thin air. Even after he had found Toby and Sonia, Carl was nowhere to be seen.

Hence, Tom figured that he didn’t have to know what Carl had been off to since he assumed that Carl had gone into hiding after causing trouble.

At this moment, Charles glared at Tom. Though he didn’t like the way Tom put it, Charles couldn’t bring himself to refute that claim.

The reason was simply because Carl had really hadn’t made an appearance after Sonia and Toby’s accident.

Giving his temples a rub, Charles picked up the call.

“Sonia has woken up, hasn’t she?” Carl’s hoarse voice came forth from the phone’s speaker and it had an indescribable spookiness to it.

It made Charles feel uneasy. Though he felt that Carl had changed, he couldn’t quite pinpoint the difference. With that, he then nodded as he replied, “Yes.”

“That’s good to hear.” Carl’s voice sounded again.

Charles then pursed his lips before asking, “Carl, tell me truthfully. After Toby and my baby fell off the cliff, where did you go? Why didn’t you help look for them with Tom and the others? Also, why have you not shown up these past two days?”

On the other end of the line was Carl sitting in a pitch-black room. He suddenly raised his head, and a blood-red gleam shone in his eyes. “I had something to do.”

“What on earth could be more important than looking for them?” At this moment, Charles growled out of anger.

Hearing that, Carl made an odd expression. “It’s none of your business. Tell Sonia that I will come and visit her at the hospital later.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this point, Charles was so furious that he stomped on his feet. “This jerk!”

“What happened, Charles?” Coincidentally, Sonia had just come out of Toby’s ward when she heard Charles curse.

Keeping his phone, he said, “It was that a*shole Carl. I asked why he didn’t appear for the past few days, and he refused to tell the truth.”

In a nutshell, the Carl standing before her now was completely different from the Carl that she knew.

Besides Sonia, even Charles was shocked to see Carl like this.

At that moment, he knew why he felt that the phone call earlier sounded odd. It was because the Carl he was looking at now wasn’t the Carl that he used to know. It was like looking at a complete stranger.

That’s right, a stranger!

“Hey, Carl. What did you go through these past three days? How did you change so much?” Charles took the initiative to ask as he analyzed Carl from top to bottom.

Nonetheless, Carl didn’t bother to answer him. He simply walked to the side of the bed before he suddenly pulled Sonia, who was leaning against the headboard, into an embrace. He then buried his face on her shoulder as if he had reunited with her after a very long time. “Sonia, we finally get to meet.”

“Finally?” The frown on her forehead deepened as she heard that.

The next moment, she pushed him away all of a sudden.

Carl ended up staggering after getting pushed away, and he took a grip of the hospital bed frame to regain his stance. Then, a devilish smile crept up his lips. “Sonia, why did you push me?”

“Who are you?” Clenching her fists, she stared at him with her guard up.

Blinking his eyes out of confusion, Charles asked, “Baby, why are you asking him that?”

“Yes, Sonia.” Carl offered a small smile. “I am Carl.”

“No. You’re not Carl.” She nodded her head firmly. “To be precise, you’re not the Carl that I know. You must be his alter ego.”

“What?” Charles was shocked to hear that as he looked at Carl in disbelief and continued, “His alter ego?”

Carl never expected Sonia to see through his true identity so quickly. With that, the smile on his face froze at once.

However, he adjusted his composure and acted like nothing had happened as he smiled before saying, “I didn’t expect that you’ll be able to see through me just like that. How did you know?”

“You’re really an alternate personality?” Charles questioned again in a louder tone.
