Chapter 119

As she thought about it, Tina clenched her fists and hissed, “That is why we must hide the news ofher pregnancy from Toby or at least until Sonia has an abortion or miscarries.”

If not, knowing how responsible Toby was, he would definitely not divorce Sonia, and instead adviseher to deliver the child.

Tim slightly nodded before he inquired, “What do you want me to do then?”

"Since the Lancaster Family is an influential family in the field of medicine, I believe you haveinfluence on all the hospitals in Seafield. I want you to keep an eye on her. No matter which OB-GYN she visits, you need to ask the doctors to advise her to abort the child because ofcomplications. It's even better if they can let her die on the operating table.”

Tina looked at him with a terrifying smile.

Even Tim, who was well aware that he wasn't a kind soul, couldn't help but be shocked by thewoman's brutality. Doubt then started to plague him. Is this cruel woman the same girl who savedme from the human traffickers when I was a child?

However, when he saw her almond-shaped eyes that reminded him of that young girl, all his doubtsdissipated into thin air.

"Alright. If that's what you want, I will get it done for you.” There was a reflection on

Tim's glasses

At the same time in the OB-GYN, Sonia was sitting anxiously in the OB-GYN while waiting for theresults of her checkup.

A nurse called her into the doctor's office ten minutes later.

"Doctor, what's the result? Am ... really pregnant?” Sonia clasped her hands and asked innervousness.

The doctor nodded and handed the report to Sonia. “Congratulations, Miss Reed. You are indeedpregnant. The baby is now four weeks and ten days old.”

Her mind went blank again.

Although she had mentally prepared herself for the result, she was still stunned when she receivedthe confirmation. I'm pregnant! How am I actually pregnant?

Sonia's hands trembled as she held onto the report. Her face was drained of color as she lookedfrantic and lost.

“Miss Reed? Miss Reed?” The doctor had to call Sonia twice to catch her attention before she turnedto him with a pale face.

As he sensed that she was upset about the news of her pregnancy, he instantly knew that it was notthe outcome that she wanted. With a sigh, the doctor suggested, “If you don't want to keep thebaby, you can schedule a surgery as soon as possible to reduce the risks. By doing so, your bodycan recuperate faster as well.”

"S-Surgery?” Sonia was taken aback.

He nodded. “Yeah, I thought you didn't want to keep the baby.”

"... I never said that,” she replied as she reflexively covered her belly.

For some unknown reason, the thought of an abortion made Sonia's heart ache.

The doctor was stupefied as he asked in confirmation, “So, does that mean you plan to keep it?”Keep it?

Sonia bit her lip and muttered, “I... I never thought of that either.”

The baby had arrived suddenly, which left her with no time to react.

How could she possibly agree to keep the baby at that moment?

The doctor was not surprised at Sonia's vague stance. After all, he had seen numerous cases likeSonia in her years of practice. He suggested with a smile, “Miss Reed, since you need time to thinkthrough it, why don’t you discuss the matter with your partner and make a joint decision?”

Sonia forced a smile at him and left the hospital soon after.

She wasn't in the right frame of mind throughout her journey as her mind was

preoccupied with news of the pregnancy. Not to mention, she almost crashed into the car in front ofher a couple of times.

After multiple close calls, she finally arrived at Paradigm Co. in one piece.

Once she had parked her car, she headed straight without even looking out and almost ran into awall. A muscular arm suddenly appeared and pulled her back to safety.

Sonia fell onto a firm, masculine chest and her nose was instantly flooded with a crisp mint scent.When she looked up, her eyes widened in surprise. “Why are you here?”

As he dodged her question, Toby bellowed at her with a serious expression. “What are you doing?Watch your way when you're walking. Had I not pulled you aside, you would have knocked into thewall.”

Since she was as guilty as charged, she lowered her head without a word.

He could not say anything given that she looked pitiful. As he rubbed his forehead, he interrogatedher, “What was on your mind?”

“Nothing.” Sonia’s eyes gleamed as she replied flatly.

Toby suspiciously narrowed his eyes. “Does this look like there's nothing going on?” Her troubledmind is fully reflected in her expression. What is it that has caused her to be in a low mood?

She pursed her rosy lips in determination. “This is my personal matter, so it has nothing to do withyou. I'll make a move first.”

With that being said, she turned around and attempted to leave, but he took her arm instead.Much to their surprise, the file in her arm had slipped onto the floor. He looked down and saw thename of the hospital printed on the document.

It was the same hospital that Grandma was warded at.

"Were you injured from the fall but didn't say anything about it to me?” Toby tightened his grip onSonia's arm.

She frowned. “No, I didn't.”

"Are you sure?” Now that his eyes were scrunched up, he clearly did not trust her words.

Before Tina had regained consciousness, he had clearly witnessed Sonia walking to anotherdepartment the hospital.

Although he had no idea which department she visited, it was clear that she went there to treat herinjury after the fall.

“Is it an internal injury?” Toby asked again.

“President Fuller, why are you being nosy? This is my personal matter. What does it have to do withyou?” Sonia mocked him with a smile. He keeps asking all those questions. Those who didn't knowbetter would think that I am someone important to him and that he’s concerned about me.

Since she was tight-lipped about her situation, he decided to bend over and pick up the file.

Upon seeing that, her expression fell and she grabbed the file to hide it behind her since she had noplans to reveal the report to him.

Toby frowned at her frantic move, which confirmed his guess about her health condition.

Since Sonia was unwilling to tell him, he decided to look into the matter when he visited Grandmalater in the evening

At this moment, a red sedan drove over before it rolled to a stop beside them.

The moment the door was opened, it revealed Charles, who emerged from the vehicle before heslammed it shut. Then, he jogged over to Sonia and cast a wary look at Toby. “Why are you here?”Toby's gaze swept past him and landed on Sonia again. “I am here to have a talk with you.”

“What is it?" She furrowed her brows with a look of cautione

She could not figure out anything that was worth discussing between them.

Knowing that his words would anger her, he chose to pause for a moment before he requested inan apologetic tone, “May I ask for you not to file a police report on today’s incident?”

Indeed, Sonia’s expression soured. “What did you say? You want me not to lodge a report againsther?”

Toby muttered, “Yes.”

She snickered from the ridiculousness of the situation. “Toby, what are you thinking? When I said Iwould lodge a report, you did not oppose it. And now, you are suddenly against it. What is it thatyou want?”

"Darling what's wrong? What happened?” Charles was confused as his eyes darted between her andToby, but nobody paid attention to him.

Toby lowered his gaze. “I know that I have placed you in a difficult spot, but—"

“No 'buts?” She clenched her fist and loudly interrupted, “Toby, Tina wanted to kill me. She hadpushed me off the stairs because she wanted me dead, but now you are asking me not to report herto the police. Are you the crazy one or has the world gone mad?”

"What? Tina Gray pushed you off the stairs?” Charles finally had a clue of the incident and trembledin rage. He glared with red eyes that was full of hate at Toby.

Charles finally lost control of his temper and landed a punch on Toby's face. “Toby, you are f*ckingmad, aren“t you? Are you asking my darling to pardon her assailant? How dare you! Who do youthink you are?”

The punch came as a surprise to Toby, who was punched right on the face. He stumbled backwardas the corner of his lips was bruised and bloodied.

Sonia was equally shocked. When she recovered her composure, she quickly went up to him. “Areyou okay?”
