Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 989

As soon as Toby heard that, he suddenly recalled that there was such an incident. Back then, he had just gone

through the divorce process with Sonia and even brought Tina to the resort to take a break; Sonia and Charles had

visited the same resort too.

During that visit, Tina had even poured shower gel on the floor of Sonia's cubicle, causing Sonia to slip and fall. As a

result, Sonia was unconscious, but would have lost her life if he had not appeared in time. Now that he recalled the

situation, the lingering fear hit him and he could not help feeling contempt for himself.

Even though he had been hypnotized into believing that he was deeply infatuated with Tina at that time, he could

not believe that he would actually forsake his principles and morality as well. He had ultimately realized that Tina

was the perpetrator, yet he made the choice to let the matter blow over. Eventually, he covered up for Tina—the

criminal who had nearly caused Sonia's death.

Furthermore, similar situations happened more frequently than expected.

Although several of those circumstances could be chalked up to him not being in his right state of mind, he was the

one who had ended up taking action. He had repeatedly hurt someone whom he truly loved all for a nasty woman

and this was an indisputable fact.

As soon as Tom noticed Toby's tightly furrowed brows and the flash of guilt in Toby's eyes, Tom could somewhat

haphazard a close guess and slapped his forehead in frustration. "I'm sorry, President Fuller, I shouldn't have

reminded you about this. I've stirred up some bad memories from the past."

"It's alright." Toby brushed him off wearily. "Even if you don't bring it up, ultimately, the fact remains unchanged and

I can't pretend that nothing ever happened just because no one brings it up."

Tom lowered his head and remained silent.

Toby had no intention of continuing the topic, so he massaged the spot between his brows and asked, "Why did

Connor send his personal assistant to these two companies?"

"I'm not too sure about this yet. I made the discovery regarding that last night, but it was too late at night, so I

couldn't possibly contact the bosses of these two companies and their staff involved at that hour. As such, I had to

wait till this morning and made arrangements to contact them. I believe we'll get the results in no time."

Toby responded affirmatively, "Inform me of the result immediately."

These two companies were indeed linked to Sonia, so perhaps Connor intended to go after her by sending his

personal assistant to visit these two companies.

"Sure, President Fuller." Tom agreed and nodded.

Without saying much else, Toby opened the car door to enter the car.

Sonia was originally scrolling on her phone with her head lowered. As soon as she saw him enter the car, she asked,

"You're already done with the business talk with Mr. Brown?"

She assumed that they were discussing business matters.

Toby did not express denial and he merely lifted his chin slightly. "Yes, I am."

"President Fuller, are we sending Miss Reed to Paradigm Co. first?" At that moment, Tom, who was buckling his seat

belt in the driver's seat, suddenly asked.

Toby moved his thin lips and responded, "Not now. We're going to see Tim."

"Dr. Lancaster?" Tom was slightly surprised. "President Fuller, are you or Miss Reed unwell?"

"Why do you have so many questions? Just drive." Toby frowned and there was an impatient look on his face.

At that moment, Tom drew back slightly and hastily kept his mouth shut without asking anything else.

Sonia noticed the aggrieved expression on Tom's face and she could not help bursting into laughter. "Toby, why are

you being mean to him? He's just being nice."

Yeah, that's right! Tom, who was currently driving, nodded earnestly to indicate that he agreed with her words.

Meanwhile, Toby snorted. "Being nice doesn't cover the fact that he's wasting our time. I would rather he start the

journey as soon as possible so that we can arrive at the hospital earlier."

"A single question is not gonna take up much of your time." Sonia grimaced in speechlessness and mentioned

subsequently, "But then, will Tim have time to see us if we just turn up like that? He's a world-renowned surgeon

and there are many patients with appointments to see him every day. What if he's busy today? We would have

gone in vain. We can't possibly make him abandon his patients to treat us, right?"

"Don't worry. He's free." Toby turned his head to look at her. "I've spoken to him yesterday and he doesn't have any

surgeries arranged for today, so he can spare some time."

"Is that so?" She nodded with a relieved look. "That's great, then. If any of his patients need him, then let's not

bother him. I wouldn't want to be the reason for him delaying someone else's life-saving procedure."

"That won't be an issue." He tried to reassure her and prevent her from overthinking.

When it came to matters like this, Toby was always one step ahead of her and would have taken the necessary

precautions to avoid such an issue. Although he was generally quite cold toward everyone, he was not a callous and

heartless man to disregard the lives of others. As such, he definitely would have made the necessary arrangements

for the other patients.

Even if Tim had patients to see and was unable to leave his station, he would have arranged for the other doctors

to take over those patients temporarily so that he could get away for a moment. In short, he would not resort to

any moves that would harm lives. However, there were some exceptions to this rule.

Sonia noticed that he repeatedly promised that the issue she was most concerned about would not happen, so she

finally felt completely at ease and no longer had any concerns. She had faith that he would not lie to her about

something like that, judging from his character.

Shortly after that, they arrived at the hospital.

Toby and Sonia alighted from the car and entered the hospital thereafter. Tom, however, did not go along with them

as he continued to wait inside the car.

Both of them arrived outside Tim's office and Toby lifted his hand to knock on the door.

Tim's cold voice rang out, "Come in."

Subsequently, Toby pushed open the door and walked in.

Instantly, Sonia noticed a man in a white coat busy typing while seated in front of the computer.

At that moment, he stopped what he was doing and lifted his head to glance in their direction.

As soon as he saw them, there was not the slightest hint of surprise on his face as he frowned and revealed an

unhappy expression. "I told you to come over at 9.00AM. It's nearly 1.00PM now. What were you doing?" Tim lifted

his hand and pointed to his arm as he chided them.

Despite being lectured, Toby remained unperturbed. Even more so, he did not find that there was anything wrong in

them being late. As such, he merely held Sonia's hands and walked over calmly.

As for Sonia, she felt slightly awkward and embarrassed.

"Excuse us," she apologized to Tim with a smile. "I didn't know that the appointment was made for 9.00AM. If I had

known, then we wouldn't have turned up late. I'm so sorry."

Tim noticed that she was the one voicing out, so his unhappiness disappeared almost instantly as he spoke in a

mellow tone, "It's alright. This isn't your fault. It's the fault of the man next to you. I can't believe that he didn't even

inform you about the time of the appointment. Not only is he late, he doesn't even think that he is at fault for being

late."

As Tim spoke, he shifted his eyes to coldly and distantly glance at Toby.

Toby frowned. "That's enough. Little Leaf was fast asleep in the morning, so I wanted her to catch some more

sleep."

"Toby." Sonia directed an apologetic smile at Tim once again before instantly turning to Toby with an angry look. She

tugged at his sleeve and lowered her voice to chide him, "What's with you?! It's our fault for being late and yet

you're—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Tim had cut her off. He flung his mouse aside and stood up. "That's enough.

Let's just move on and get down to business. It's time-consuming to complete a full body check, so if we don't

proceed with things right now, it will probably take us until midnight to finish everything. Let's not waste any more

time. Follow me and we'll proceed with the full body check." He gestured to Sonia.

Meanwhile, she glanced at Toby.

Toby nodded. "Go ahead."

Sonia handed over her bag to him and smiled while asking, "I'll be going off with Tim now. Aren't you jealous?"

He took the bag from her. "I'm not jealous. He's different."

"How is he different?"

"He's a doctor," Toby responded.

Inevitably, Tim would have to be in contact with her body since he was there to treat and run checks on her.

However, Toby was not going to be jealous about something like that. After all, he was not an unreasonable person.

Besides, Tim had an inborn personality where he lacked emotions, so there was no way he would develop any wild

desire for Sonia. As such, there was really no point for Toby to be jealous.
