Tim shot a look at the duo in an embrace and did not bother to say much. He got up and walked to the glass medicine cabinet on the opposite side and opened one side of it. Subsequently, he took out a box of indigestion tablets and flung it right at Toby.

Toby managed to grab it mid-air using his large palms and that move he made was very cool.

Sonia's eyes shone at the sight of that.

He could not help revealing a smug smile on his thin lips upon noticing that.

"Two tablets will be enough." Tim returned to his seat and reminded Toby.

Although Toby did not respond to Tim, he still followed his instruction and opened the box to pop two tablets out from the blister before handing it over to her. "Take this."

Sonia was currently feeling bloated, so she naturally did not reject his offer. She took the indigestion tablet and popped them into her mouth immediately. The tablets were not bitter at all; on the contrary, it was a chewable tablet that tasted like sweets.

As such, she did not even need to take the water that Toby poured for her, so he placed it back on the table after that.

After their meal, Sonia's body check report was finally out.

Tim took the document folder handed over by the nurse and opened it to retrieve the report inside. Subsequently, he checked the result.

Sonia and Toby were already seated on the couch at the moment.

Toby had his head slightly lowered and he was toying with her soft little hands. He did not even bother to cast eyes on Tim while behaving like he was unbothered by the report.

However, Sonia was very concerned about the results of her check-up, so she craned her neck to look at Tim while asking, "Dr. Lancaster, how's the result?"


Tim walked over and handed the report to her. "There aren't any major issues. Other than the low blood sugar that I mentioned before, you have some slight issues with your cervical and lumbar spine from sitting too much."

"Uhh…" She winced and took the report from her. "I can't help that because I work in an office. At times, I would even be seated for hours if I had a large amount of things to deal with, so these issues aren't unexpected." This was practically the issue faced by every young man and woman working in an office.

"That is true, but you should try and improve your condition as much as possible. If you keep this up, the issues with your cervical and lumbar spine will persist. By then, you'll need to undergo surgery to correct them."

"Ah…" Sonia gasped in fright. "Is it really that serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Tim looked at her from the reflection of his glasses. "Or, do you think that I'm not serious with what I do?"

"No, I don't." She shook her head and quickly explained herself, "I didn't mean those things at all."

"Since you don't have any doubts for me, then you shouldn't have questioned my diagnosis." Tim retracted his gaze. "I'm a doctor, you can be assured of my competence."

"Okay." Sonia nodded meekly like a young student.

"Okay." Sonia nodded meekly like a young student.

At that moment, Tim was finally pleased. "These aren't major issues at all. I can prescribe you some medications for your anemia and low blood sugar. Take them daily for your body to recover gradually. Then, I'll give you a menu with a list of suitable food for intake. Take your meals according to the menu and in two to three months time, there should be a significant improvement in your condition. As for your spinal issues, it's easy to resolve too. Take a short break and go for a stretch after sitting down continuously for one to two hours. Stretch your neck and do some waist exercises. Of course, the best advice would be to take up yoga or go to the gym regularly. Your muscles aren't firm enough, so these exercises will be beneficial to you."

At that point, there were no words coming out from her parted lips as she did not expect that she would be riddled with so many health issues. After all, she usually felt fine.

However, now that Tim pointed things out, it suddenly dawned upon her that her issues seemed to be quite serious.

"I'll supervise her and help her mend her ways," Toby answered on behalf of Sonia.

As he spoke, he had his eyes on her and the firm look in his eyes were very evident.

Sonia grimaced slightly and she suddenly felt a mounting pressure within her. The look in his eyes was a clear indication that he would be sure to supervise and ensure that she exercised to sort out the issues with her spine. At that point, she could clearly sense that her couch potato days were over from now on. How frustrating!

Though she felt resigned to fate, on the other hand, it was a warm gesture from him and she knew that he was doing all this for her sake. He was so determined to supervise her because he cared about her, otherwise, why would he bother?

"It's a good thing to have him supervising you." At that moment, Tim spoke up, "Otherwise, if you try to exercise by yourself without any supervision, then it's quite likely that you won't be able to keep it up for too long. You will need long-term exercise in order to correct your spinal issues. If you do it occasionally, then it won't be effective at all. Besides, I can guess that without any supervision, you will definitely be the type to only exercise at occasions when you feel like it."

Toby nodded non-commitally and agreed with Tim's words.

As soon as Sonia noticed the two men jumping to their conclusion about her, she found it hard to maintain the smile on her face. "I get it. Well, thanks guys."

She emphasized on the word 'thanks' quite hard and everyone present could clearly tell that she said that through clenched teeth. It was unfortunate because she was clearly unhappy about that. I can't believe that I'm such a lazy and uncommitted person in their eyes. Although I do hate exercising, laziness isn't that bad… Well, okay. I admit I do get lazy, but that's normal though. Of course, people get demotivated sometimes to exercise! I guess I deserve their judgment, but I don't like this though! All of us work in an office, but why am I the only one who needs to exercise, huh?

As she thought of that, she steered the conversation toward Toby, "Dr. Lancaster, I reckon that he has issues on his cervical and lumbar spine as well."
