Ch. 1381..1390

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1381-"As it should." Toby did not hide his happiness and admitted it graciously. "Not a single man can accept their wife placing such importance on a ring gifted by another man."

Now that I've removed the ring, it won't be an eyesore anymore, right? Sonia shot him a withering look.

He responded with a gracious smile. "Yep! All good!"

Hmph. She snorted petulantly and uncovered the blanket to get out of bed. Subsequently, she placed the ring into her bag and planned to buy a box to store it on her way to work later. The final step would be to keep the item in her safe.

As for Toby, he sat up in bed, no longer intending to sleep. His recovery progress was great, and he could now prop himself up without constant help.

With the strength of his elbows, he could easily support himself, albeit tiring. Still, he was happy enough to do things for himself and not become a burden to Sonia.

You must be hungry. She returned to his bedside after putting away the ring.

He nodded slightly in response. "Kinda."

I'll wheel you over to freshen up, then I'll order breakfast for us. She pushed his wheelchair over, after which he agreed and got out of bed himself to be seated.

Throughout the process, Sonia did not offer help. That was because she knew he did not want any, which aligned with his usual behavior. All in all, Toby wanted to pertain his dignity to not become a 'useless' individual.

Since he could manage fine by himself, she did not insist but gave him the freedom to proceed.

Breakfast was delivered to them shortly, and it arrived right after they freshened up. The food was as bland as things could get. It was an unfavorable situation, but there was a lot of food that the couple had to refrain from eating. Therefore, they had no choice but to tolerate the bland meals for now. Surely, things would improve soon.

After breakfast, Sonia bid farewell to Toby and left for work.

Along the way, she drove past a shopping mall and entered a jewelry shop to buy an exquisite ring box. Subsequently, she went back into the car and took out the wrapped-up ring from her bag before placing it carefully into the box.

From now on, she would only take this ring out of the box when she missed Carl. She did not wish to see the ring at any other moment because she refused to experience sadness when reminded of his demise.

…

In a blink of an eye, a month went by swiftly. Toby's recovery progress over the month had been astounding to Sonia, who was fairly pleased by it.

Currently, he was no longer required to be hospitalized and was allowed to return to work at Fuller Group. Although he had to stay at the hospital at night, he was allowed to go out in the morning to sort out his matters.

Other than that, he no longer needed a wheelchair to get around and could stride normally. As long as he did not attempt to run or jump, there was no risk of his heart mispositioning itself.

At least on the surface now, he was a 'normal' functioning man who had nearly recovered.

Contrary to his great recovery, Sonia was in a bad state. She was not in the most suitable health condition to carry a child at the moment, but that was the reality. She had no choice but to endure the hardships and nurture the baby healthily.

Disregarding the fact that the baby was a product of her and Toby's love, she knew she had to keep the baby because the option of abortion would hinder her plans to become a mother again.

The consequence of keeping this baby was that she would go through way more discomfort than any other normal expectant mother because she fell pregnant before fully recovering. As such, in comparison to the other mothers, she would end up suffering more.

For example, she was less than eight weeks into her pregnancy, yet she was already experiencing morning sickness. Her face was as pale as a sheet from throwing up every day, and her body ached severely.

Most expectant mothers would generally experience morning sickness at about eight weeks of pregnancy onward, but she experienced that at an earlier stage. On top of that, she had to ingest a lot of medications and receive injections just to ensure a smooth pregnancy.

It was to the point where she trembled upon seeing those items, but despite her apprehensions, she endured them fearlessly. Otherwise, there was a high chance that she would miscarry.

As such, Sonia lost a lot of weight over the past month and had a wan complexion, which pained Toby to see.

Today, it was time for her obstetrician appointment once again.

Toby and Tim waited outside the room as Sonia remained inside for the check-up.

As they waited, Toby's brows tightly furrowed as he clenched his fists tightly. Had he not been restricted to enter with her, he would have rushed into the room out of his immense worry for her.

He could still vividly remember her pale and gaunt face when she entered the room.

At that moment, Tim noticed his state and shifted his glasses before saying coldly, "Right now, you appear to be worried, but what were you thinking of back then?"

What do you mean? Toby narrowed his eyes and turned around.

Tim had both hands in his pockets. "I mean, you got her pregnant. You wouldn't be worrying now if you had used protection in the first place."

In response, Toby pursed his lips. "You mentioned before that she would have issues conceiving within these two years and that it would be pretty much impossible. That's why."

Otherwise, there was no way on earth he would choose to impregnate her during that period. He found it difficult to imagine how much torment she would have to endure for the next eight months. After all, the pain was already agonizing enough in the first eight weeks.

I did say that, but there are always miracles in this world. Tim shrugged.

Toby stared at him coldly. "Yes, there are miracles, but not everyone gets to experience one."

Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected they would be so lucky to experience a huge miracle.

Even Tim was rendered speechless at that point. Yes, miracles can be so hard to predict. Some pray fervently for a miracle to happen but never experience anything. Meanwhile, Toby and Sonia didn't want a miracle, but they somehow got to experience it. What can anyone do about this?

Is it truly unadvisable to abort this child? Suddenly, Toby asked Tim.

Stunned, Tim replied, "What do you mean by that? Do you want her to?"

If the existence of this baby continues to cause her so much suffering and agony, I don't mind giving them up. I'd rather wait for her to be in perfect health condition before we plan for a child than to see her in so much pain, Toby said with a somber expression.

Tim shrugged. "Unfortunately, you don't get a choice. You must keep this child. I told you before that if you choose to terminate the pregnancy, judging by her current health status, she would not be able to conceive for the rest of her life. That's why, even if this child would cause her torture, she has no choice but to keep this child. An exception would be if she can accept being childless for the rest of her life, but do you think that's possible?"

Of course not! Toby lowered his eyes and knew the answer well.

Even today, he knew she harbored guilt deep inside toward the child she miscarried in the past, so there was no way she would give up again.

Look, you can't come up with the words to say because you know the outcome as well. You guys must keep this baby. Tim tucked his hands back into the pockets of his white coat.

268276

At that moment, Toby shut his eyes. "Is there any way of preventing her suffering?"

No, Tim replied directly without considering the question. "Though there is a strong advancement in the medical world, there are some things that can't be achieved. She has no choice but to suffer through pregnancy to keep this child. Don't worry, though, we will try our best to alleviate her pain. As I've said, she'll need more bed rest in the future for her condition. However, I didn't expect her morning sickness to be so severe even at just barely eight weeks. It looks like she will have to be put on bed rest from now on. Otherwise, if her condition worsens, there is a high chance of miscarriage even if we do everything in our power to stabilize her pregnancy."

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1382-"So, you mean that it will be best if she's hospitalized from now on to keep the baby?" Toby asked with narrowed eyes.

Tim confirmed, saying, "Yes. Her body is too weak, and her uterus hasn't recovered. She can't be on her feet for a long time outside, or else an accident like miscarriage could happen and even lead to two deaths if medical help is delayed."

Toby's pupils shrank. "Two deaths?"

That sounds serious.

Yes, that's very likely to happen. The expression on Tim's face was very serious and he didn't look like he was kidding at all. Furthermore, he never kidded around. "Because of that, I suggest that she starts hospitalization and treatment right away. This is the best for her and her baby."

Toby held his hands into fists. "I got it. Once she's out, I'll speak about it with her. Please help to make the arrangements first."

Okay, I'm going now. Nodding softly, Tim then twirled and left.

Left alone at the same spot, Toby kept his eyes glued on the big doors in front of him with a heavy heart that was filled with worry, waiting for Sonia to come out.

The current Toby was just like Sonia who waited for him outside back then when he was in surgery.

After almost two hours of waiting, Sonia finally came out.

Holding her belly, Sonia walked over with a pale face.

Seeing this, Toby rushed to her and held her in his arms. "How are you feeling? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

In his embrace, Sonia sounded weak as she said, "I feel better now, not as uncomfortable as earlier."

Toby led her into the seats at the side. "What are the results of the checkup?"

Resting on his shoulder, she closed her eyes a little. "The results are okay. The doctor said that the reaction was so great that I was affected and made me sick. It's nothing serious, actually."

Only after hearing that could he rest his jittery heart at ease a little.

Then, Toby told Sonia about his conversation with Tim earlier. "Tim suggests that you start hospitalization right away and rest for the sake of the baby, and I wish that as well. That way, it's good for both you and the baby. What do you think?"

Even though he wanted to make the decision directly on her behalf, he decided not to in the end because he respected her opinion.

After hearing his part, Sonia jerked up her head suddenly. "Hospitalization starts right away?"

Yes. Looking into her eyes, he nodded.

She bit her lower lip in hesitation. "If I'm hospitalized now, what about Paradigm?"

I can send someone to manage it for you, or you can arrange someone yourself, but whatever the method, I wish that you'll check into the hospital. Your situation now is very dangerous, and Tim said that there's even a chance of two deaths in your situation. Tightening his arms around her, he hugged her so close that it was as though he wanted to meld her into his own body.

As if there wouldn't be two deaths if he did this.

In all honesty, Sonia was shocked and scared by what he just said, and her already pale face turned even paler.

Why is it so serious? she muttered, blinking in confusion.

With his large palm, he held the back of her head and rested her head on his chest. "That's because your body is weak and hasn't recovered completely yet. That's why pregnancy is dangerous for you. In your current condition, you're not allowed to be going places outside or working for long hours. Honey, I hope that you'll agree to the hospitalization. Don't worry about the company. There are lots of capable people in this world. Even if you're worried, it's time to let go sometimes."

Sonia's mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. A few seconds later, she sighed. "Okay, I'll check into the hospital."

He has a point, she thought. The company may be important, but my life and the baby are more important.

Furthermore, the company had stabilized and wouldn't have any big issues due to her prolonged absence.

On the other hand, if she was worried about the company and insisted on working, not only would she lose her baby, she might even lose her life in the end.

Therefore, she should really let go of the company and not place her and her baby's life in second place.

When she had straightened out her thinking and agreed, the knot between Toby's brows relaxed. "Great, we'll proceed with the procedures now. I've already asked Tim to arrange the rest. After this, take care of your health and don't worry about anything else. I'm here for you." He paused and kissed her forehead. "Actually, I've already considered forcing you to agree if you're not agreeing. I can't just watch as you stubbornly disregard your life. But luckily, you didn't let me down."

Sonia chuckled. "Don't make me sound like a workaholic who only cares about the company but not myself and my baby. I can still differentiate which is more important, life or the company."

That's good, he said, stroking her hair.

Just then, Sonia's gynecologist came over and passed the examination report to her, even giving her some advice on points to watch out for and suggestions.

One of the suggestions was, just as Tim said, hoping that she would hospitalize herself to keep the baby safe because her condition was risky and unsuitable to be going places outside.268433

Now, everyone was giving her the same advice. From this, it was clear that her condition now was critical, so she was kind of glad that she could straighten out her thinking and agree to the hospitalization. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how it would end up.

That night, she checked into a new ward specially prepared for pregnant ladies like her.

When she moved in, Toby also informed Rose and the others about this.

After all, this was such a huge matter that he shouldn't hide it from them, and neither could he.

0

Rose often called to ask about how they were doing, so she easily found out about their current situation.0

Rather than letting her find out and get angry, Toby would prefer to tell her directly.

0

The minute Rose knew that Sonia's condition was bad, she wanted to visit her at the hospital immediately. In the end, it was Sonia and Mary who persuaded her together and managed to stop her from going.

It was already late at night and the others would be worried if Rose was going to make the trip at her age.

Even though Rose didn't come, Mary did, and she even brought a lot of supplements, visiting Sonia on Rose's behalf.

Upon seeing how pale and skinny Sonia was, even Mary was shocked. "My god, how did you lose so much weight, Young Mistress Sonia?"

Sitting on the bed, Sonia smiled. "Don't worry, Madam Mary. I've just been feeling very nauseated recently and can't eat anything. That's why I ended up this way. It should get better after some time."

Despite what she said, she wasn't confident whether she would get better or not. All that was just said to comfort Mary so she wouldn't worry.

Next to them, Toby warmed up a glass of milk which he then passed to Sonia. Then, he said to Mary, "Rest assured, Madam Mary. After this, I'll think of ways to have her eat something to quickly restore her health."

Mary nodded. "She should get better quickly. What did the doctor say?" she asked.

After asking all these, it would be easier to explain to Rose when she returned later.

Knowing that, Toby told her everything honestly—what the doctors said and Sonia's current condition.

After listening to him, Mary sighed repeatedly. "How did it end up like this?"

It's alright, Madam Mary. I'm already hospitalized, so there's nothing else to worry about, and nothing like that will happen. Easy. Sonia smiled, looking very relaxed, and Mary turned to her.

Young Mistress Sonia, how about this? After this, I'll speak to Old Mrs. Fuller and ask her to let me take care of you here. What do you think about this? Young Master Toby is a man and doesn't know how to take care of a pregnant woman well. I'll stay here and take care of you. That way, everyone can be assured.

A light flashed in Sonia's eyes, tempted by her suggestion. Mary had taken care of Toby's mother when she was pregnant as well as Jean during her pregnancy. So, she was definitely a professional when it came to pregnancy care.

With Mary to take care of her, a new mother, Sonia wouldn't be completely clueless. In addition, she wouldn't be comfortable if they had to hire another nanny.

But if you're here, what about Grandma's side? This was Sonia's biggest concern.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1383-Rose's health wasn't the best and she needed someone by her side to take care of her.

Knowing Sonia's concern, Mary was about to say something when Toby beat her to it. "Don't worry, I'll ask Olivia to take care of Grandma while Madam Mary stays here to take care of you. This makes me more assured."

Mary nodded in agreement. "Yes, Young Mistress Sonia, that's what's on my mind as well. Olivia is also at the mansion, anyway. Although she's usually only working in the kitchen, she used to take care of Old Mrs. Fuller together with me in the past. But because she's a good cook, she asked to work in the kitchen to specially cook for Old Mrs. Fuller. She still has what it takes to take care of Old Mrs. Fuller, no doubt. So, there's nothing to worry about."

Hearing that from both of them, Sonia felt more relaxed and smiled at Mary. "Okay, I'll have to trouble you after this, Madam Mary."

Don't mention it. Chuckling, Mary said, "All of us wish for you to be well and have a smooth delivery. Alright, I'm going to tell this to Old Mrs. Fuller first."

Let me do it. Toby took out his cell phone. "For something like this, it's better for me as the husband to do it. Please prepare something that Little Leaf can eat during this period, Madam Mary. She hasn't eaten much yet today."

268434

He had prepared a lot of food for her and used all sorts of tricks and methods just to make her eat something. However, every time she ate, she would feel uneasy, so she hadn't eaten much until now, not to mention that she had thrown up all that she ate.

It pained him to see her like this, but there was nothing he could do.

While she was a first-time mother, he was also a father for the first time.

The new parents didn't know a lot of things. Even if Mary didn't come over and offered to take care of her, he had planned to look for an experienced nanny to do the job.

With a professional around, all of them could sleep better at night.0

0

But compared to outsiders, Toby preferred to have Mary at her side to take care of her. This way, he was more assured.

Upon hearing that Sonia hadn't eaten much, Mary became anxious and hurriedly answered, "Okay, okay, right away."0

Then, she started to get busy, whereas Toby took a seat next to Sonia. Gently, he held her in his arms, dialed Rose's number, and told her about Mary staying behind to take care of Sonia.

When Rose found out that Sonia's condition was bad, she was very heartbroken, and upon learning that they would like to have Mary as help, she agreed without hesitation and even said that she wanted to send Olivia over as well, but Toby and Sonia turned her down in the end.

Mary was rich in experience. With both of them—her and Toby, who would visit frequently—that was more than enough to take care of Sonia.

Wouldn't it be a waste of talent if Olivia came over as well?

Moreover, there would be no one to take care of Rose if Olivia came over, which would worry Toby and Sonia.

In conclusion, one helper at each place was the best.

Seeing how determined the young couple was, Rose could only give up on her idea to send Olivia over. "If you need help, you must tell me, and don't hide it from me," she said afterward.

The couple didn't reject her this time and gave her their word.

After that, Rose shared a lot of information regarding pregnancy with Sonia, and from a person who knew nothing, she became a first-time mother with a little bit of knowledge.

At the same time, Toby also transformed.

Not only did he listen intently, but he also prepared a notebook, making notes while listening to Rose. Although the sight was amusing to Sonia, she felt warm in her chest.

But that wasn't the only thing that he did. Before Mary arrived, he had sent Tom to buy lots of books for a first-time father and pregnancy, all because he would like to prepare himself and be a good husband who could take care of his pregnant wife for the months when she was pregnant. Once the baby was born, he would like to be a good father who could take care of his child.

Truth be told, not many men could do this, and there were even more who couldn't care much from the beginning until the end.

However, Toby, a busy company president, could set aside so much work and spare so much time to take care of her and learn these things which had nothing to do with managing a company; this really moved Sonia beyond words in her heart.

Not knowing what was on her mind, Toby looked into her reddened eyes and kissed her dearly on the forehead. "Are you hungry?" he asked.

Sonia put down the phone that had ended the call and muttered softly, "Yeah, a little."

Of course, she was hungry!

Nothing was good for her appetite. Knowing that she couldn't do without food, she suppressed her nausea and discomfort inside and forced herself to eat something.

Even so, it was useless because she would throw up anything she ate. Her stomach was still empty and she was so hungry that her head was spinning.

If it wasn't because of the vitamin shot earlier, she might have passed out already.

Bear with it a little longer. With Madam Mary's experience, she'll probably prepare something that you can eat, Toby said gently, holding her in his arms.

Sonia rested on his chest. "I believe so."

Even if she couldn't eat, she had to; even if she would still end up throwing up, she must eat. After all, she couldn't rely on nutrition shots every time.

Mary was very quick. In less than twenty minutes, she already prepared the food—lemon chicken soup.

14847

The second the food container opened, the strong smell of lemon reached Sonia's nostrils.

Unexpectedly, this smell didn't make her nauseous, and neither did it disgust her.

Previously, everything she smelled was odd to her and made her nauseous, but not this smell. On the contrary, it made her relax.

She was also a little curious at her surprise.

When she wanted to ask about the reason for this phenomenon, Mary chuckled and explained before she could, "When I went to prepare food for you, I specially asked the nurse who is taking care of you and found out the situation with your appetite. I immediately reckoned that acidic food is more suitable for you, and acidic food can curb nausea. So, I went to buy this lemon chicken soup, but it can't be compared to homemade ones. As time is limited now, please make do with this. Later, I'll prepare some ingredients and make delicious homemade food for you."

0

I see. Thank you, Madam Mary, Sonia said with a smile, full of gratitude.0

Toby took the bowl from Mary, ladled some into the spoon, and blew on it gently. When the soup wasn't so hot anymore, he fed it to Sonia's lips.

In Mary's presence, Sonia felt a little embarrassed, but her stomach was uncomfortable from the hunger and she knew that she could accept the soup because it didn't make her nauseous. So, she set aside her embarrassment, opened her mouth, and took a sip.

Next to them, Mary watched them in delight. How nice, she thought. Young Master Toby knows how to take care of someone else now, and their relationship looks very loving.

How does it taste? When Toby observed that Sonia didn't show any discomfort after having the soup, his tightly knitted brows eased up, and his heart that was in his throat set back in its original spot. This is great. Finally, there's something she can eat.

The taste is not bad. Although it's a little sour, it's acceptable, Sonia described the food, nodding.

She was a person with a sweet tooth, actually, and she never ate acidic food because she hated it. Every time she had something a little acidic, her taste buds would somehow exaggerate the taste and she could not accept it at all.

Now, not only could she accept it, she even kind of liked it.

By the way, Madam Mary, does the appetite and tastes change with pregnancy? she asked. "I never took acidic food in the past, and I can't take it, either, but I can take it now. It's so weird."

After she asked that, Toby turned to Mary curiously as well because he would like to know the answer.

Regarding everything which he didn't understand about pregnancy, he would review them again and try to figure it out. Only then could he take better care of her.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1384 -Looking at Sonia's curious face and Toby's resolute expression, Mary didn't shy away and told them all she knew, "Yes. During pregnancy, it is true that women will act in direct contrast to their prior selves, and having different taste buds is one of them. Many women don't eat spicy food before, but they suddenly fall in love with spicy food during pregnancy and could take spiciness very well. There are others who are just like you who don't like acidic or sour foods but like them after getting pregnant. All these are normal, and there are more who prefer acidic to spicy food."

Why is that so? Sonia asked, puzzled.

Chuckling, Mary answered, "That's due to the hormones in a pregnant woman's body, especially for cases like you who have a greater pregnancy reaction and can't eat anything. If you change the flavor to acidic, sour or spicy, the feeling of nausea or wanting to throw up will go away."

I see. Sonia nodded in a daze.

Meanwhile, Toby noted everything down directly. That wasn't the only point he noted as he also asked Mary other questions in detail while feeding Sonia.

When she had finished half of the food and didn't want more, he wrote down everything from memory in the notebook.

In the afternoon, Tom came and brought a big stack of books with him—everything that Toby asked for, topics on pregnant mothers and being a first-time father.

Sonia took a quick glance and reckoned there were about twenty to thirty books.

That's a lot of books. I wonder if he could really finish them within these few months, she thought. Not only Sonia but even Mary was startled by Toby's plan. However, she felt more relief after the shock subsided.

As a woman, Mary was happy that Sonia was doing well and received genuine care and concern from her man, and from the bottom of her heart, she was delighted and comforted to see Toby this way.

The teachings in the Fuller Family were a success. Even after Homer married Jean, who was his second wife, she had to admit that Homer didn't do anyone wrong.

When Homer was in love with Valerie, he was wholeheartedly devoted to her.

However, she really had no feelings for him and even encouraged him to seek love elsewhere, which he really did in the end, and he found Jean. He fell in love with her and would rather be punished by the family than give up marrying her.

The men from the Fuller Family could be considered loyal and faithful, and they gave more than enough attention to their women at the same time. This concluded that the Fuller Family was successful in raising their men.

I believe Young Master Tyler will turn out the same, Mary thought with a smile. Then, she left the room quietly, giving the space to the couple because she knew that they had a lot to speak about.

If there was no reason for an old lady like her to be present, she decided that she would stay outside of the room lest she disturbed their moment.

Finally, the media reported Sonia's pregnancy. Coincidentally, when she was having her maternity checkup, the wife of a media worker happened to be doing the same and bumped into her and Toby.

With their status and the fact that they didn't deliberately hide their identities, they were recognized by this lady, who later went home and told her husband about it. After that, news of Sonia's suspected pregnancy was published online and sent the Internet into a frenzy.

Many netizens speculated that Sonia and Toby rekindled their marriage so suddenly because she was pregnant, and this speculation received the agreement of the majority.

It couldn't be denied that experts lived amongst the commoners and the netizens were very smart.

Meanwhile, Toby and Sonia only learned about this when Tom told them about it over the phone.

As electronic gadgets such as cell phones produced radiation, both of them avoided using them in the ward unless necessary. So, they didn't follow the news on the Internet and didn't know that they had gone viral again.

When Toby found out that the media had exposed Sonia's pregnancy, his brows furrowed more deeply than words could describe because he didn't plan to make this public, at least not for now.

Besides, no matter which culture it was, people were usually hesitant to announce a pregnancy that was less than three months because of superstition. Although he didn't believe it, for Sonia and the baby's sake, he was willing to believe all these things that couldn't be explained.

More importantly, they still had a lot of enemies in the dark, and he had no other choice but to be more alert. This was why he didn't plan to announce this so quickly.

Unexpectedly, his plan was thwarted because the media had exposed Sonia's pregnancy now.

As he browsed through the commotion on the Internet, his lips pursed into a tight line, and his face was sullen.

The sight amused Sonia, and she reached out to pull his cheeks outward. "Come on, honey. Don't be so upset anymore. So be it. It's only a matter of time before this happens, anyway. Moreover, we didn't try to cover up, so it's not unexpected that it's exposed. Saves us the trouble of announcing it later, right?"

These media are everywhere, Toby grumbled.

Sonia chuckled. "That's what they do for a living. Of course, they have to be everywhere. Alright now, I'm not even upset, so you shouldn't be as well. Since it's already public news, we can't deny it, either. Or else when the baby is born, the public will start speculating again. We might as well just admit it now."

That's all that can be done, Toby thought, rubbing his forehead. "I'll get more people to protect you."

Sonia nodded as she knew that the news of her pregnancy would cause a lot of people to have ideas and they had to pay more attention to her safety.

After that, Toby logged into his own social media account to make a post, announcing to the public that Sonia was six weeks pregnant.

His acknowledgment caused another uproar on the Internet, and everyone scrambled to leave congratulatory messages and blessings in the comments section.

268436

After all, the netizens were over the moon for quite a while when he announced their marriage and gave out benefits the last time.

The chances of getting a prize were high, and the majority of the netizens received one. Even if they didn't receive the biggest prize, they received a couple hundred in cash as a celebratory present.

For the sake of these benefits, the netizens wouldn't say a single bad thing at this time.

In addition, Toby and Sonia were dating before this and were married now. It was normal that she was pregnant and there were no cheating or immoral activities involved. Even without those benefits, the netizens would give their blessings, too.

Otherwise, they would be the immoral ones.0

0

Seeing the blessings of these netizens, Toby felt a little less mad over those media companies that announced the pregnancy on their own.

Thereafter, he published another post—another lucky draw event which was exactly the same as the last time when he and Sonia got married.0

After the netizens saw this, excitement rushed through them again, and they quickly forwarded and commented on the post, terribly worried that their chances would be gone if they were just a second late.

Then, the network crashed for a while.

The staff quickly restored it, and the second it was fixed, the netizens resumed their forwarding and commenting. The Internet was bustling with traffic because, at the end of the day, it was cold, hard cash that was involved.

The last time, some netizens even made a calculation on how much Toby spent on the benefits.

The Fuller Group announced the amount to be 15 million, but after the netizens' calculations, they realized it was far more than that—30 million, at least.

Besides the lucky draw event on the Internet, Fuller Group and Paradigm Co. even specially sent their employees to distribute candies on the street where their companies were located.

Those were expensive imported candies, and many citizens came to queue up for them after hearing about them. Some even received cigars and wine. Thus, the netizens reckoned that all those totaled up to about 30 million.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1385-It was the first time the netizens had seen such generosity, and there were even rumors that he had used the money from his personal account and not the company. This went to show how wealthy he was; spending 30 million on netizens just because he could.

They were not the first who spent 30 million on benefits for Internet users, though.

Every year during the new year, the companies funding major websites would do this, but these companies used the money from the companies' accounts, unlike Toby who used his personal account.

Even though they said there were 30 million for grabs, that was just some vouchers, coupons, and other miscellaneous items. For one to receive cash, even if it was a negligible amount, was considered lucky.

The most ridiculous part was, there weren't even 30 million, to begin with. The 30-million claim was nothing but publicity.

Toby was the first of his kind to fork out 30 million.

Now, he was again giving away so much money for everyone's entertainment, and his popularity soared all of a sudden to its peak. All the other leading influencers were nothing compared to him and he undisputedly became the title holder of 'Perfect Husband.'

Reading through the comments sections, Sonia kept laughing at the netizens who called Toby their husband. "Are you happy?" She showed her cell phone to him. "You're the husband of so many."

An unpleasant, gloomy look was on his handsome face. "No, I'm not their husband," he said, taking the phone from her. Then, he made another post, asking the netizens not to call him their husband because he was only Sonia's husband.

In response, the netizens laughed at him and asked whether he was having shortness of breath from the anger.

However, they were joking harmlessly, and Toby wasn't really mad, either. He simply told them again not to call him that because he didn't like that title, and the netizens agreed to his request nicely. Ultimately, they were worried about him withdrawing the benefits if they made him mad.

When they stopped addressing him as their husband, the look on his face turned normal again and he called Tom to organize a lucky draw event for them with all expenses to be paid from his private account.

Soon, Tom's side came up with the lucky draw links, and the netizens stopped commenting on Toby's comment section. The second the links were shared, all of them moved to the official page of Fuller Group to participate in the lucky draw.

As for the rest, Toby stopped caring about it and set the phone aside, but he had just placed down his phone when Sonia's phone started ringing instead.

Taking a look, he saw that it was Grace calling, and he reckoned she was calling to ask about Sonia's pregnancy. However, the one who picked up the call was Toby, not Sonia.

Toby made it compulsory for her to have less contact with electronic devices. Although the radiation wasn't high, he didn't want her to be in any contact with radiation because her body was very weak now.

Out of wits, Sonia could only let him be. She felt so loved and cherished when she saw how he cared about her and wouldn't be mad at him over it.268437

Sure enough, after Toby picked up the call, Grace immediately asked him about Sonia's pregnancy, how she was feeling, how was the child doing, and such.

Patiently, Toby answered all her questions. Besides keeping from her about how weak Sonia was right now, he answered every other question carefully.

He acted under Sonia's instructions because she didn't want to cause Grace any worry. Otherwise, given Grace's personality, she would make frequent visits.

As Sonia didn't want to cause her too much trouble, she thought that she should hide some things if needed. After all, there were already enough people worried about her.

0

After Grace found out from Toby that both Sonia and the baby were doing well, she breathed in relief. Before hanging up, she advised him to take good care of Sonia and mentioned that she would visit her when she was free.0

He had yet to place down her phone when it started ringing again. This time, it was Sonia's grandfather, Leonard, who was calling.

0

As a leading archeologist, Leonard worked at the ancient tombs in the deep forests, and very rarely could he be contacted.

Otherwise, when Sonia remarried, she would have given him a call directly instead of sending a text because she knew that even if she called him, he might not receive it.

So, she didn't tell him about her pregnancy and only told him that she was married.

Much to her surprise, Leonard took the initiative to call her when news of her pregnancy got out, and this time, Toby didn't pick up the call and let Sonia do it instead.

He knew that she had been missing her only kin, and he allowed her to take the call despite the concern about radiation.

As it turned out, Leonard didn't know about her marriage or pregnancy. It was his assistant who accidentally saw the news on the Internet during his break time. After seeing this news, he thought that Leonard should know about this as he was her only living relative. Thus, he drove into the mountains and told Leonard, who then called her from a satellite phone.

The second Sonia heard his voice, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice choked, especially when she heard him apologizing for neglecting her for the past few months. Bittersweet feelings overwhelmed her heart and tears poured down her face.

Heartbroken to see her cry, Toby took over the phone and conversation.

Speaking of which, it was the first time Toby spoke to Leonard.

Old-fashioned and strict, Leonard was an old man who would only appear pleasant when he was with Sonia, but not Toby, his grandson-in-law.

That was made worse by the fact that Toby had hurt Sonia in the past, and his attitude toward Toby wasn't the best. Leonard was talking to him like he was a stranger, but that didn't bother Toby, and neither was he mad at it because he knew that any elder couldn't ignore the mean things he did before.

So, he was extremely patient and listened humbly to Leonard's lecture.

Perhaps it was because of this attitude that Leonard treated him a little better afterward, especially when he heard that Toby was now in the hospital taking care of Sonia. As a result of that, Leonard became even friendlier.

Well, he had to be nice to Toby because he wasn't by Sonia's side and Toby was the one whom he could rely on to take care of her. If he wasn't nice to Toby, Toby might be mean to Sonia!

As Toby had set the call to loudspeaker mode, Sonia could tell what the change in Leonard's attitude meant, and that upset her even more.

In this world, only her kin would set aside his dignity for her.

After ending the call with Leonard, Toby glanced at her bloodshot eyes and passed two pieces of tissues to her. "Don't cry. I'll bring you to visit your grandfather if you miss him in the future. We can visit if we pull some connections."

Taking the tissues from him, she then wiped the corners of her eyes. "We'll see. I just haven't heard his voice for ages and can't hold back because I'm a little sad and happy at the same time."

It's okay. Toby took her into his arms. "Your grandfather said that he'll apply for leave and visit you once you're about to give birth. With your kin by your side, you can give birth with peace of mind."

I know. I heard everything. Sonia sniffled. "And I'm very happy because it's true that I haven't seen him in a long time."

Soon, soon. Just a few more months and you can see him again. Planting a kiss on the top of her head, he added, "He even said that he'll bring a present for you."

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, she admitted with a smile.

While they were chatting, the phone rang again, and it was Charles this time.

Immediately, Toby's face turned dark, and he grumbled with a frown, "Why is this guy calling?"

Chuckling softly, Sonia said, "What else but to ask about my pregnancy?"

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1386-"What's there to ask about?" Toby muttered with a displeased look. Swiping the button on the phone screen with his thumb, he answered the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Charles' loud voice sounded. "Sonny, here I am wondering why you are remarrying Toby, that son of a b*tch, when you have yet to take revenge. So, he has impregnated you!"

Son of a b*tch?! The veins on Toby's temple didn't stop throbbing even after a few moments. In the end, he gave up on suppressing his anger and scolded in a cold voice, "Are you courting death, Charles?"

268438

Charles, who was on the other end of the phone, jumped up in shock. "F*ck! Toby, why is it you? Where's Sonny?" Darn it! It's Toby who answered the phone! Does this mean those things I said just now…

Thinking of this, Charles gasped and got into panic mode. I'm screwed! Toby caught me insulting him! He must be holding a grudge against me now.

I don't know! Toby could not be bothered to answer Charles, and he most certainly didn't want him to talk to Sonia. Hence, he immediately hung up the phone after brushing Charles off indifferently.

Looking at the gloom written on the man's handsome face, Sonia covered her lips amusingly. "Now, now, let's not get angry. That's just how Charles is."

This b*stard actually insulted me! Did you hear what he yelled on the phone? Toby put down the phone and looked at her in indignation.0

0

Sonia nodded. "Yeah." Not only did I hear it just now, but I also heard it quite often. Every time Charles mentioned Toby in the past, he would either call him a 'son of a b*tch' or 'that b*stard,' so she was not surprised at all that Charles would insult Toby like that on the phone just now.

Don't take Charles' calls from now on. Just hang up if you see it's a call from him. I fear he will be a bad influence on our child. Toby pursed his lips and said coldly.0

Sonia was amused. "What does the baby know? It is only the size of a bean now."

I don't care. According to the books, a child's education should start from preborn, which is when the baby is still in the womb. It's called prenatal education. Toby looked at her belly and explained in general in a philosophical demeanor.

Sonia hummed and asked, "And?"

Hence, regardless of how young our child is, as parents, we should be on our best behavior. We can't let our child learn all the bad habits when it's in your womb, Toby elaborated with a straight face.

Sonia found Toby's statement to be both amusing and speechless. "Alright then."

As she spoke, she stroked her belly. Her voice was gentle as she went on to say, "Baby, did you hear that? Your father loves you so much that he stresses your education starting now."

This is our child. Of course, I love the child. Toby also looked at her belly with his eyes full of pride.

Something eventually crossed his mind, and he added, "But don't you worry, Darling. My love for our child will not surpass my love for you. You are the most precious and the one I love the most in my heart."

Sonia couldn't hold herself and burst into laughter. "Why do you make it sound like I will get jealous of my own child?"

I know you won't. Toby shook his head. "I just want you to know that you're the one I care about the most, and not even our child can surpass your importance in my heart."

I'm so happy to hear you say that. Sonia leaned in his arms and said with a smile. It's true that I love my child, but which person on earth doesn't wish to be the most special one in their partner's heart? I, too, wish for the same.

While the two were chatting, Sonia's phone rang again.

Once again, Toby frowned. He looked at Sonia with accusing eyes, obviously complaining about why many people were so calling her up.

Sonia spread her hands, indicating that she, too, had no idea. Oh, so he's blaming me for being social now? Besides, if it wasn't for the fact that others were afraid of him, he probably would have received a whole lot more phone calls than me the moment they found out that he was going to be a father.

Toby sighed and took Sonia's phone in resignation.

However, his face once again turned somber as soon as he saw the caller ID.

Sensing the man's displeased aura, Sonia turned her head curiously to take a look at the caller. The moment she saw the caller ID shown on the phone screen, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out to be a call from Zane.

For Toby, the phone call would upset him as long as it was from a man, regardless of who.

Still not answering the call? Sonia looked up at the man.

The man hung up the phone impassively. "I'm not taking Zane's calls. I fear he will be a bad influence on my child."

The corner of Sonia's mouth twitched. "You haven't even picked up the call, and Zane hasn't spoken a word. How is he a bad influence on our child?" This guy is just being unreasonable, isn't he?!

Pursing his lips, Toby told her in a stern tone, "He certainly can. Zane is frivolous, and his fooling-around behavior is strongly embedded in him. Even his voice sounds dawdle. I fear our child will turn out to be not alright after hearing his voice."

Sonia facepalmed, sympathizing with Zane from the bottom of her heart. If Zane finds out that Toby tainted his image like this, he will probably spring up to his feet and beat Toby up. Whatever! I'll just let Toby be, as long as he's happy. Moreover, Zane probably can guess that it's definitely not me but Toby the one who hangs up on him.

It was indeed as Sonia thought. When Zane saw that his call was hung up, he was taken aback for a moment before he rolled his eyes and yelled, "It must be Toby!"

In order to make sure that Sonia stopped receiving calls that could disturb their peace, Toby straight away turned off her phone.

His tightly furrowed brows only relaxed after he turned off the phone.

Sonia just let him do whatever he wanted, not worried about the impact of having her phone switched off. After all, I have handed over the company's management to the person Toby assigned, so no one will call me. Even if it's something that needs me to sign and handle, Rita will send it over to the hospital personally. As for the other affairs… I have attended Asher's first trial, and the second trial is still a month away, so it's fine even if I actually turn off my phone. Besides, even if someone really wants to look for me, they can still find Toby if they can't find me.

Are you happy now? Sonia gave the man an eye smile as she asked him.

The man wasn't ashamed either, for he openly admitted to it afterward, "Yes!"

Sonia shook her head and laughed.

All in all, many gave Sonia their blessings in regard to her pregnancy. However, there were still a few who fell into a state of extreme anger and denial.

Among them were Lynette and Anya.

For Lynette, Toby had specially arranged someone to inform her about everything that was going on outside, especially updates about him and Sonia. It was his intention to make Lynette suffer.

Toby knew very well that the happier he and Sonia were, the more miserable Lynette would be.

For that reason, whenever they had some good news, the people Toby assigned would immediately inform Lynette about it. Once Lynette learned about it, she would have an emotional breakdown and yell like a mad person.

This was Toby's punishment for Lynette for almost murdering Sonia.

Last time, Lynette flipped out in the detention center when she learned that Toby remarried Sonia.

This time was no exception either.

Although Lynette was evil, her love for Toby was genuine too.

Sure enough, she couldn't accept that the man she loved so much got married to another woman and even had a child with the woman.

Therefore, it was natural for her to flip out and make a big fuss in the detention center after she heard the news. After all that though, she would get locked up in solitary confinement.

She had been locked up in solitary confinement plenty of times in these two months alone, and the reason every time she got locked up here was the same. It was hearing about the loving stories between Sonia and Toby.

Now, even she felt like she was about to go insane.

Such life was too painful and too tormenting for her.

Still, she had no choice but to go on with this life, for she wasn't ready to die yet.

Nevertheless, she still had to accept her fate even if she wasn't ready to die, for she would soon receive her second trial, which was also the final trial.

Time was running out for her, and on top of that, she still had to hear about Sonia and Toby's loving relationship daily. She felt that it really wouldn't take her too long before she went insane. How? How could Toby do this to me?! I love him so much, yet he treats me like this! He is too cruel! Too cruel!

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1387-Lynette, who was in solitary confinement, collapsed and slouched onto the ground as she broke into tears of despair. She wailed about Toby being heartless toward her and also mourned for her life, which was nearing an end.

0

Apart from her, Anya, too, lost her marbles at that moment. She could not believe what she saw. Sonia is pregnant! They're having a child! How ridiculous! They have a child!!

Covering her face, Anya began laughing as though she had lost her mind.

After the hysterical episode, she uncovered her face, revealing a sinister and twisted ill-favored countenance. Pregnant, aye? That's alright; for one day, I shall kill the two of them along with their sp*wn!

Of course, Sonia and Toby did not know anything about this.

Something crossed Mary's mind when she returned from buying fruits and saw Toby combing Sonia's hair. She put down the fruits and suggested, "Young Mistress Sonia, do you want to cut your hair short?"

Cut my hair short? Sonia was puzzled.

He stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why does she need to cut her hair?"

A pregnant woman has always needed a lot of nutrients during their pregnancy, and hair is the part that consumes the most nutrients. Therefore, a woman should cut her hair short when she's pregnant. However, they can choose to keep their hair long if their health condition allows it. Considering Young Mistress Sonia's condition, I think she should cut it short, Mary explained while taking out some fruits from the fruit basket.

Sonia blinked her eyes. "Is there such a saying?"

Of course. Most pregnant women will keep their hair short during pregnancy. Firstly, it's because it's easier to take care of, and secondly, it can prevent the hair from consuming too many nutrients and causing you nutritional deficiency.

I see. Sonia nodded,indicating she understood.

Stroking her smooth and silky hair, Toby asked, "Do you want to cut it?"

She took a lock of hair and looked at it with reluctance written in her eyes. "To be honest, I'm reluctant and can't summon up my courage to cut it. Even though some people say it's a myth that hair consumes our nutrients, I trust Madam Mary. So, let's just cut it. Besides, it will be difficult for me to manage my long hair when my belly gets prominent in the future."

I should call the hair stylist to come over and cut it for you, then. Toby let go of her hair. To be honest, I'm also reluctant to let her chop off her beautiful long hair. I like the feeling of stroking her hair; I like the feeling of taking a lock of her hair, kissing it, or sniffing it deeply. But if this long and silky hair causes her nutritional deficiency and makes her unwell during her pregnancy, then I would rather she chop them off. After all, she can grow it back anytime in the future.

That won't be necessary. Sonia grabbed the man's hand just as he was about to make a phone call. "It's just a haircut. It won't take much effort. You're going to help me cut it."

Me? He was taken aback.

She hummed. "Yes, you're going to cut it for me. Just cut it short. You don't have to style it."

But… I have never cut my hair before, let alone someone's hair. Aren't you afraid that I might ruin your hair? He stroked her hair, somewhat conative yet worried.

Of course, I hope that I can do everything for her myself, but I'm also afraid of screwing up. Although I'm knowledgeable, there are still things that I have zero knowledge of, and that includes giving someone a haircut.

It's fine. She smiled at the man. "Didn't I say you don't have to style it? So, you don't have to cut it perfectly. Just make it short. Plus, I won't leave the hospital from today onward until after I give birth, and I won't meet any outsiders either. So, you don't have to pay so much attention to details. I'm fine as long as you don't hate it."

I surely won't. Toby shook his head.

That settles. Come on, just cut it, Sonia said as she turned around, facing her back at him so he could snip her hair.

Mary, too, smiled and persuaded, "Young Master Toby, since Young Mistress Sonia trusts you, why don't you just cut it for her? You can search online if you don't know how. Your hands-on skills are impressive, so I believe you can cut it well."

That's right! We can look up some tutorials. Sonia's eyes lit up at Mary's suggestion. That's a good idea!

Like Sonia, Toby also thought it was feasible. Therefore, he grabbed his phone and searched for some simple hairstyles for short hair on the Internet. After researching, he and Sonia examined the images together, looking for the hairstyle that she liked.

Seeing the two of them discussing intimately which short-hair hairstyle Sonia should go for, Mary smiled knowingly and went to wash the fruit.

Toby finished cutting Sonia's hair and was cleaning up her long hair that he had chopped off by the time Mary came out with the fruits she had washed. The cherished look on his face gave those who saw it a rather mushy feeling.

Mary was too lazy to look, so she directly turned her gaze to Sonia.

In the meantime, Sonia sat on the bed as she held a mirror in her hand, admiring her new hairstyle. Judging from the smile, it was clear that she was highly satisfied with it.

Similarly, Mary adored Sonia's hairstyle after she saw it. She walked over with a plate of fruits and complimented, "Oh, my! It looks like Young Master Toby did a pretty good job."

Sonia put down the mirror and replied, "Yeah, it's nice. I chose this hairstyle online, but I didn't expect he could cut it so perfectly like the one in the photo."

My eyes were closed, and I didn't watch the whole process when I got my haircut earlier. I have entrusted Toby with this task anyway, so I'll accept the outcome no matter how disastrous the haircut turns out. After all, it's my own choice. Yet, I'm surprised to see him cut it so perfectly. The hairstyle I chose for my short hair was shoulder-length hair with slight air bangs. It looked like the hairstyle women had back in the Jazz Age, but it was less vintage-looking and more refreshing. Nevertheless, this hairstyle does make me look several years younger than my actual age. I look just like a college student. God knows how surprised I was the moment I opened my eyes and looked at myself in the mirror. I immediately cupped Toby's cheeks and kissed them. He, on the other hand, almost became insatiably greedy. He wanted to kiss me back—not on the cheeks but rather gave me a deeper and more passionate kiss. I eventually was only able to stop him after I heard the sound of the running water in the kitchen stop and knew that Madam Mary might be coming out of the kitchen. Otherwise, we might still be kissing now.

At that moment, Toby finished cleaning up Sonia's chopped-off hair. He tied them together with a rope and even made a bowknot.

Seeing this, she could not help but ask, "Why are you collecting it and not disposing of it?"

I'm going to keep them. He came over, leaned on the side of the bed, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Upon hearing that, she frowned in disgust. "What's there to keep?"

Doesn't he think it's weird?

Of course, I have to keep them. He raised his chin. "These are the hair that I have personally cut for you, and thus, it holds a special meaning to me. That's why I keep them. Who knows? We can reminisce about our youth when we look at them again once we grow old in the future."

Thinking it was a good idea, Mary nodded in agreement. "What Young Master Toby said makes sense. It's indeed worth keeping."

Seeing that even Mary agreed, Sonia shook her head amusedly. "Whatever. Just don't let me see it in the future. It feels weird." Even if it's my hair.

Hearing that, Toby decided not to force her to accept it. He picked up a strawberry and handed it to her before he looked at Mary. "Can you help me find a box later, Mary?"

Yes, Young Master Toby, she readily answered.

While enjoying her strawberries, Sonia nudged the man's abs with her elbow. "Aren't you going to the office?"

I'm not going today. I'll be here with you today and only go tomorrow. He plucked a grape and ate it.

She was delighted as she also really wanted him to accompany her. Therefore, she uttered nothing when she heard his reply. After all, nothing is going to happen to Fuller Group even if he's missing for just one day. Besides, Mr. Brown can help him take care of the affairs.

I see you are enjoying your fruits. At that moment, Tim's voice sounded from outside the ward.

The three looked up and saw him leisurely walking in with his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1388-"Dr. Lancaster, you're here." Sonia put down the fork in her hand and greeted Tim with a smile.

He hummed as a hint of surprise flashed in his spectacles-shield eyes when he saw her new hair. "When did you cut your hair?"

She still had long hair when I saw her this morning.

Touching her new hairdo, she replied proudly, "My husband gave me a haircut. What do you think? It's pretty nice, right?"

Toby was deeply touched to the point that he felt as though his heart almost melted into a puddle of water and became beyond soft. Not only was she satisfied with his skill, but she also proudly showed it off to others.

Tim nodded. "Not bad. I wanted to tell you to do that anyway. Unexpectedly, you have cut it in advance. This saves me a lot of work."

After hearing that, she smiled. "We didn't know too at first. It was Madam Mary who told us that it'd be better to cut off my hair. That's why."

What are you doing here? Toby asked Tim.

Tim glanced at Toby before he turned to Sonia. "I heard you have no appetite, so I'm here to check on you and see if I can find a way to relieve your discomfort. I'm surprised to see you enjoying your food now."

Looking over at Mary with a grateful look, Sonia expressed, "It's all thanks to Madam Mary. She has prepared some appetizing meals for me. That's why I'm regaining my appetite. I don't feel uncomfortable eating these fruits now."

That's great, then. Alright. My business here is done, so I shall leave. Call me if you need anything. Tim looked at her.

Sonia responded with a smile.

With that, he turned around and went out, leaving as fast as he came.

Mary even got sentimental after Tim left. "Dr. Lancaster truly is a responsible person. He isn't your attending doctor, nor is he a doctor under the OB-GYN department, yet he especially comes over to your ward and checks on you. Such a good man, he is."

Agreeing with what Mary said, Sonia added, "Yeah. He treated us very well. Toby and I troubled him a lot too."

Everyone said he's a monstrous man with no emotions, but I beg to differ. Dr. Lancaster isn't emotionless. He just needs time before he opens up to someone. Take my case of saving him back in childhood for example. He's willing to repay me in such a sincere manner even though it was a favor I did for him so many years ago. This isn't something a person with no emotions can do. An emotionless person will never express their gratitude toward others, even if that someone saved their life.

Although Toby was unhappy to see Sonia praising another man, he, too, knew they had troubled Tim a lot. Therefore, he did not voice anything no matter how upset he was. I can still distinguish between jealousy and a good turn.

Meanwhile, in Gray Residence, a shrill and panicked female voice suddenly broke the initial peace in the villa.

Titus! Julia looked at her husband, who suddenly passed out after spitting a mouthful of blood on the sick bed. Her face turned ghastly pale from the shock, and she was so anxious that she immediately burst into tears.

At that moment, Rina hurried over after she heard Julia's scream from another room. "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"

Your dad spat blood. Rina, he spat blood! As if seeing a lifesaver, Julia quickly grabbed Rina's hand and cried so hard that she was out of breath.

Knowing her mother was struck with panic, Rina gently patted her on the back, signaling her to calm down first before she went to check on Titus.

Looking at her father lying unconsciously on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth, Rina felt her heart abruptly contract for a moment. Her face gradually turned pale.

Dad… She gently pushed Titus.

However, he did not respond.

Similarly, she could not hold back her emotions and began crying. "Mom, call an ambulance. Call an ambulance!"

Right, right! Ambulance, ambulance! Julia was so panicked that she did not know what to do. Now that Rina reminded her, she came back to her senses and realized the things she should have done earlier. Therefore, she took out her phone and called for an ambulance with trembling fingers.

Instead of dialing the number of First World Hospital, Julia called another hospital because she knew that First World Hospital would not accept him. Therefore, she had no choice but to pin her hopes on another hospital.

Fortunately, another hospital did not reject them after they learned about his condition. Soon, they sent an ambulance over to the Gray Residence.

Titus was carried into the ambulance, and as his family member, Julia naturally followed as well.

Rina initially wanted to tag along. However, just as she was about to board the ambulance, she saw the familiar-looking bodyguard uniform. At once, she did not dare to get in.

Noticing Rina's last-second change of mind, Julia did not suspect any peculiarity and ordered her instead, "Rina, I'm going to the hospital with Dad. Go back inside our house, pack up some stuff, and come over to the hospital later."

Rina nodded with a stiff expression. "Okay…"

Still not sensing Rina's reluctant tone in her speech, Julia followed the ambulance to the hospital with ease.

As such, Rina watched as the ambulance drove away. She stood on the spot for a long time before she turned around and made her way toward the villa. After she left, the bodyguard took out his phone and made a call.

In the hospital, Toby's eyes flickered when he saw the caller ID. He got up and walked to the window before he took the call.

Seeing this, Sonia merely felt strange momentarily before she continued learning how to knit children's sweaters from Mary. Although I can knit a scarf, I only know one technique and am clueless about the rest. Moreover, knitting a sweater is far more difficult than knitting a scarf, considering it involves a lot more different types of knitting stitches. I did learn it before, but because I was impatient, I stopped after a while. Now that I don't have to be busy with work and can only stay in the hospital all day, I feel relaxed all over. Since I can't look at my phone for a long time, my boredom makes me think of finding something else to do.

At first, I didn't know what activity I should engage in to cure my boredom. Later, it was Madam Mary who offered to teach me to knit a sweater for my baby. I thought it was interesting, and since I wanted to see my child put on the sweater I knitted by myself, I agreed to learn. Not to mention, I gave up learning it after a while because I was impatient in the past. But now, perhaps due to my age and because I'm going to be a mother soon, I just feel calm all over. Plus, I find that knitting is a pretty interesting hobby after I started learning it. I even feel like knitting a sweater for everyone.

Regardless, it will take me at least a month or two to finish knitting a sweater. I will probably only be able to finish it by next winter if I want to knit one for Grandma, Toby, and others. Nonetheless, theirs can wait. Right now, I just want to knit one for the baby as a birth gift from a mother. Besides, I want to knit one for that child too… My child. Although the child is no longer here with me, I still hold them dearly in my heart. I don't intend to, nor will I forget them.

In fact, I'm thinking of preparing one gift for them when I'm preparing one for the baby in my belly. This is the only thing I can do for them as a mother, but I have yet to discuss this matter with Toby, so I'm not sure if he can grasp my thoughts.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she saw a silhouette appear before her eyes.

Sonia looked up and happened to see the man gazing down at her. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Toby caressed her hair. "I should be the one asking you that. Why are you suddenly feeling down?"

Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a few seconds before she eventually expressed her intention to gift something to the child they lost.

After hearing this, he chuckled and agreed. "Sure. Just prepare it if you want to. We'll also prepare a room for him and put all the things that we have specially prepared for him in that room from now on. We'll buy an extra gift for that child whenever we buy one for this baby."

Hearing that, she could not contain her smile. "I thought you'd find this outrageous."

After all, not many can grasp this idea. Furthermore, according to some traditional beliefs, this is considered inauspicious. Some might even think I missed that child so much that I have gone nuts. At first, I was also worried that Toby wouldn't understand why I wanted to do this. Fortunately, he never let me down.268441

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1389-"Why would you think that way?" Toby held her face with both hands and stared at her seriously. "I will understand, and I've never thought your ideas were bad. They're still our children, and we're their parents. We owe it to that child, so it's only right we include them."

Sonia's eyes were red, and she nodded tearily.

Where do you want our new home to be? he asked her gingerly before letting go of her face.

They had just remarried, so it was normal for them to look for a house. However, they had spent most of their days in the hospital and did not return to Bayside Residence or others for that matter.

Now, it was possible to plan for their new home. As soon as the baby was born, they could move in immediately.

Bayside Residence was certainly not suitable for them. Since they were about to have a child, that place would be too small without enough space for the whole family.

The child should also have a room, and the nannies should always be on guard.

He did not want the child to sleep with them. Otherwise, it would mean that the nannies could go in and out of the room as they wished.

Sonia knew he was right, so when he asked about their new home, she began to think about where to stay. After a while, she could not think of a suitable place.

In the end, it was Mary who suggested an area, "Young Mistress Sonia, why don't you stay at the Four Seasons Residence?"

Four Seasons Residence? Sonia was caught off guard. She knew Four Seasons Residence was a gated community that had been developed just two years ago. Each villa in the residence was worth hundreds of millions, so she looked at the man. "You have a property there too?"

Toby was noncommittal with his reply. "Of course. When the construction ended, the man asked me if I wanted a house there. I asked him to reserve a random one for me, but he left the main house for me to get my money's worth. The main house is in a good spot, so I bought it. Now that I think about it, it's a good place for us to start our family there. It's far from Fuller Residence, but it isn't that far from Paradigm. What do you think?"

Sonia thought about it for a while and decided it was plausible.

Mary smiled and said, "Young Master Toby, you've never stayed there. Although it's partially furnished, many things are missing. Do you want me to get someone to fill up the place for you?"

To be honest, it would be more meaningful for the bride to plan out the new house. However, with Sonia's condition, how could she object to Mary's suggestion for arranging it?

I owe you one, Mary, she thanked with a grateful smile.

Mary waved her hand dismissively. "It's no trouble. What do you and the young master like? I'll get someone to prepare it."

Don't worry about what we prefer for now. We'll write it down after we discuss it, Toby said as he picked up a piece of fruit from the plate.Although it was good to eat fruits, they should not be consumed in large quantities at once. He saw that Sonia had eaten a lot, so the rest should be kept for later.

Mary thought their request was reasonable, so she did not say anything else.

Then, Toby looked at Sonia. "The house at the Four Seasons Residence is massive with a total of a thousand square meters and four floors in total. We can prepare one floor each for the children as their rooms, including the entertainment room, study room, and playroom. We'll still have a lot of space no matter what."

Alright. Sonia nodded.

Mary listened to the couple's conversation and sighed discreetly. She knew which other child they were referring to.

Speaking of which, the first child was indeed pitiful.

If…

Well, this was life.0

0

It was all because of that woman, Tina Gray. If it were not for her, the relationship between Toby and Sonia would not have faced so many hardships. That woman was truly wicked, and Mary hated her down to the core.

By the way, who was that on the phone earlier? You looked very serious. Is there something wrong with the company? If you have something to do, you can go first, asked Sonia when she recalled Toby's expression earlier.0

The man shook his head and replied, "There are no issues with the company. It's Titus."

She immediately narrowed her eyes. "What's up with him?"

Did he pass? If so…

She suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort. She wanted to say that it would be a great joy if that were the case, yet she could not say that at all. Truthfully, she did not even dare to think so.

What is this feeling?

Confusion flashed across her eyes, and she did not understand where her discomfort was coming from.

Toby did not notice anything unusual about her reaction and took a sip of water from the glass. He explained, "I heard his situation has worsened, and he was sent to another hospital by ambulance."

That's all? She tilted her head up in acknowledgment. She did not prod further because she did not know what to ask. For some reason, it felt like her heart was racing yet suffocating at the same time.

Toby finally noticed her discomfort and touched her forehead. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

She forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. I don't know why, but I feel upset."

His eyes darkened when he heard her words. Without any remarks, he merely hugged her instead.

Meanwhile, at the Gray Residence, Rina was partially worried about Titus and partly resenting the guards outside. She knew they were there to ensure her presence away from Sonia. However, she did not expect Toby to be so heartless.

He wanted her to watch her father die. Doesn't he know that that's his father-in-law? No, he does. He just didn't want me to look for Sonia for help. He wants Dad to die, but I can't let that happen! If Dad died, I would lose his love and care before reverting to poverty!

No matter what the consequences were, she did not want to accept them. She vowed to save her father no matter what. Before she could do that, she had to leave this place and get Sonia. There are so many guards out there. How am I gonna leave?

Rina paced around restlessly in the living room and finally made a plan when she saw Julia's coat on the couch. She hurried upstairs, put on some mature makeup, and changed into her mom's clothes. At last, she left the villa through a back window.

After clawing her way out, she walked to the other villa from behind the bushes and out from the back. From there, she walked toward the gates of the villa confidently.

As she paced, she felt a sharp gaze on her back. She knew whom it belonged to, but she did not turn back and pretended not to notice. Otherwise, once she turned around, she would surely be recognized.

Hence, she feigned ignorance and continued striding forward.

Just like that, Rina escaped the villa gates with no issue. Once she stepped out, she let out the breath she had been holding and panted heavily while patting her chest to catch her breath. Great! This is great! I finally made it out.

She held back the excitement and called for a cab. "Paradigm Co., please."

The cab driver nodded and started the car.

An hour later, she finally arrived at her destination.

This time, she went to the receptionist and did not introduce herself as Rina. Instead, she was a saleswoman from another company and wanted to meet with their president to discuss the cooperation between the two companies.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist told her that their president was absent.

Rina was shocked. "Not in the company? Where did she go?"

The receptionist looked at her suspiciously. "Don't you read the news on the Internet?"

News? What news? she asked out loud reflexively. Then, she realized her reaction would cause suspicion, so she hurriedly tried to cover up. "I'm a businesswoman, so I'm out every day. I don't have enough time to look through the news on the Internet, so I don't know what's going on. May I ask what happened to your president?"

This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr Chapter 1390-Her reasons successfully quelled the receptionist's suspicion. She replied politely with a smile, "Oh, President Reed is pregnant. She's getting treatment in the hospital for the time being."

Pregnant? Rina questioned sharply.

The receptionist frowned. "Miss, what's wrong? From your tone, you don't sound happy about President Reed's pregnancy."

Their president was pregnant, and not one person in the company was unhappy about the news. Plus, since she was pregnant, Toby gave them a lot of benefits. Even the netizens received some, so who would not give them their blessings? Instead, Rina was the only person that sounded unpleasant about the news, dissatisfied even.

Rina's fists clenched tightly behind the counter. Happy? How can I be happy? Now that she's pregnant, how is she gonna donate her kidney?!0

0

As a result, she walked out of Paradigm Co. in a daze, looking up at the sky. It was cloudy and gray, just like how she felt at the moment. Pregnant. How can she be pregnant at a time like this?! What a b*tch!

She soon filled herself with determination again. No matter what, even if Sonia was pregnant, she would not give up. She would make Sonia donate a kidney to her father, even if it was by force. After all, Sonia was her father's biological daughter. One way or another, she should feel obliged to save her father! Even if she was pregnant, she should get rid of her child to save him! That was what Rina believed.

Dad is dying, and Sonia is still young. She can still have another baby if she aborts this one. How can an unborn baby be more important than Dad?! That's right. I'm gonna find her now!

Rina gritted her teeth and hailed another cab. "First World Hospital."

She was confident that Sonia would be there. After all, she knew there was a genius doctor named Dr. Lancaster at First World Hospital. That doctor has always been kind to her, so I'm sure she chose there for treatment.

Soon, she arrived at the First World Hospital.

When she got out of the cab, she fished out a mirror from her back and looked carefully to make sure her makeup, hair, and clothes still looked believable so that she would not get recognized easily. She put away her mirror and walked into the hospital with confidence.268561

With Sonia and Toby's reputations, they could not be in normal wards. So, without any hesitation, Rina walked straight to the special wards building.

She entered the building with no trouble, and the security guard did not even spare her a second glance. He even thought she was a wealthy patient's family member, so he asked her to register and allowed her in.

Following that, she arrived at the front desk and asked for the floor and number of Sonia's ward. Immediately, she took an elevator up.

The moment she stepped out of it, her heart was beating like a drum. She was nervous and did not know if Toby was present or not.

0

Since he loved Sonia so much, that man was more than likely to stay at the hospital with her the whole time since she was pregnant and hospitalized.0

Now, Rina was terrified to bump into Toby. What should I do? Do I still go in?

0

While she was freaking out, a nearby security guard walked by. When he saw her, he was immediately suspicious. He walked over quickly and asked coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Rina was so scared that she began to tremble. Fortunately, she reacted in time and forcibly calmed herself down. She immediately acted like her unreasonable, arrogant mother to avoid the security guard's suspicion.

Why do you care so much? She put her hands on her hip and acted flawlessly like her cocky mother. "This is a hospital. What do you think I'm here for? Of course, I'm here to visit my family. You sound like you're interrogating a prisoner. Are you saying I shouldn't visit my family? Do you own the hospital?"

The security guard's mouth twitched with annoyance, for he was scolded for no reason!

A nouveau riche like her was only arrogant because she had money. Other than that, she was an empty shell. Security guards like him had seen many women like this.

In the end, he dismissed his doubts and told her off coldly with a look of disgust. "I don't own this hospital, but my boss has reserved this place. The only patient here is my boss' wife and no other patients. Therefore, you've gone to the wrong place. Please turn back and leave." He pointed at the elevator behind her.

She pretended to be surprised, "What? This floor is bought out? Is your boss that rich? Even my husband doesn't dare to do that."

The security guard rolled his eyes. Your husband? A new upstart like your husband is nothing compared to President Fuller. He could be on Forbes' International Ranking List. Can your husband even be on Forbes' Seafield Ranking List?

Okay, enough. It's none of your business whether my boss is rich or not. You need to leave now and never come here again. Don't blame us for being rough if you return, the security guard warned, frowning hard.

She acted shocked. "If you don't want me here, just say that. Do you think you can be aggressive just because your boss is rich? Just wait until my husband becomes richer than him. By then, let's see if you dare to act so aggressively toward me. Hmph!" As she spoke, she walked toward the elevator, cursing.

Rina knew the more she looked like an arrogant b*tch, the less likely these security guards would suspect her. They would only think that she was just a social climber gone wrong.

Sure enough, Rina got into the elevator without trouble. She did not even arouse a drop of suspicion from other security guards until the elevator closed. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. Now, I'm annoyed.

She did not expect Toby to protect Sonia so comprehensively. Not to mention reserving the whole floor, he even had security guards patrolling it!

This way, any unknown person that came to the floor could be immediately removed. Forget Sonia's room—even the security guards would have her under scrutiny as soon as she exited the elevator.

Therefore, she could not pretend to be a relative of Toby and Sonia, whom the guards would recognize! Even if there were such a relative, they would call Sonia and Toby before letting her in. When the couple denied it, she would be immediately taken away.

What the hell do I do? Rina was so anxious she was about to cry.

Her dad's condition could not be dragged on any longer. If they continued to delay, there might not be any more hope. Therefore, she had to meet Sonia to tell her the truth as soon as possible. That was the only way Sonia would agree to save her father. But Toby guarded her too strictly. How can I meet her?

Ding! The elevator arrived.

Rina stepped out of the elevator moodily and bumped into a nurse pushing a small cart.

Ow! the nurse exclaimed.

Rina immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."

It's fine. The nurse waved her off and smiled dismissively.

Rina smiled back at her and continued into the elevator. After taking two steps, she suddenly had an epiphany. She turned and looked at the nurse's uniform, revealing a sinister smile. That's right. I can just pretend to be a nurse!

The more she thought about it, the more she realized it could work, and the bigger her smile grew.

Afterward, she began scanning the hospital, looking for easy targets.

In the end, she chose a nurse that seemed easy to follow. When the nurse entered the bathroom, she followed her and knocked her out. Then, she took the nurse's uniform and wore them. Summoning her courage, she headed for Sonia's floor again.
