The person had his back against Toby; perhaps the person heard footsteps approaching him, so he turned around gradually to face him. It was none other than Tim, who had come up with an excuse that he was going to do the ward round!
Toby and Tim were unsurprised to see each other appear at this spot and clearly, they had both agreed to meet up right there.
"Just tell me, is it found in Little Leaf's report?" Toby looked at Tim and spoke in a low voice.
Tim leaned against one side of the wall. "Fortunately, she's fine. She didn't inherit Titus' kidney failure condition."
As soon as Toby heard Tim's reply, the tense expression on Toby's face finally relaxed slightly. "That's great."
However, Toby was not entirely at ease because he recalled that Titus' condition had just been discovered a few months back, which meant that over the past fifty-odd years, Titus' kidneys were perfectly fine and it had been a sudden occurrence. Perhaps it had not been a sudden occurrence and Titus' kidneys had actually decreased in function over the recent years without him realizing. Finally, he collapsed at the point when his kidneys had deteriorated beyond working conditions.
As soon as Toby thought of that possibility, he shut his eyes for a moment. When he reopened them, there was a solemn look in them. "Little Leaf hasn't been diagnosed to have inherited that condition right now, but would it be possible that in the next ten or twenty years, she would end up inheriting that same condition and collapse in her fifties, just like Titus?"
Titus was the head of the Gray family, so it was virtually impossible that he had never done a thorough body check over the past ten years or so. If he had, it meant that he was never diagnosed in the first place and hence, healthy for the past decades. This could only mean that in recent years—or perhaps just within this year—the inherited condition had suddenly flared up within him. Toby was worried that Sonia would face a similar situation as Titus.
Toby gestured to reject Tim. "No, thanks. I've quit smoking. She prefers that I don't smoke." As he said that, he lifted his chin slightly and the smug note in his voice was quite evident.
One side of Tim's lenses glinted under the light as he retracted the cigarette. "You don't need to emphasize that last sentence." Tim could clearly tell that Toby had said that to mock him.
Toby pretended not to understand what Tim was on about and he impatiently urged Tim to continue, "That's enough. Hurry up and answer my question. Will Little Leaf end up in the same condition as Titus?"
Still, Tim did not respond but took out a lighter to light his cigarette. Perhaps his lighter was faulty and he tried multiple times to no avail. At that point, his expression darkened significantly.
Toby could not stand the sight of that, so he reached into his suit pocket and took out a gold-colored metallic lighter that had a carving of a dragon on the exterior and flung it over to Tim.

With that, Tim reached out and caught it in his hands deftly before releasing his fist to take a look at it. As soon as he saw the expensive-looking lighter in his hands, his eyes lit up instantly. "If I'm not mistaken, this was custom-made for the Queen of Erendale and it is an identification token for the male member of the royal family. There are only two of these in this world. One belongs to her son while the other one was gifted by the Queen to a mysterious person. I can't believe that you're the mysterious person."
"A few years ago, I went on a business trip to Erendale and met the Queen once. She gifted this to me then." Toby explained calmly as his thin lips moved while he spoke.
The lighter was the one that Sonia had confiscated from him at the restaurant the night before.
However, she had returned it to him this morning when they were in the car together. She had mentioned that since she trusted him to not smoke again, her returning his lighter would be a gesture to emphasize her statement. She knew that even if he had the lighter in possession, he would keep his promise. That was also why he was able to retrieve the lighter right now.
At that moment, Tim lifted his thumb and there was a 'clink' sound as the lighter was uncovered; the fiery flames lit up too and subsequently, his cold expressionless face glowed and the scene was nice. He craned his head forward to move the cigarette on top of the flame. Soon enough, his cigarette was lit up too.
He then pressed down on his thumb to cover the lighter. He continued to twirl the lighter in his hands after that and did not have any intention to return it to Toby. "What would you say if you gave this to me? You've quit smoking, right? You won't need this lighter, then. After all, you won't be lighting anyone's cigarette given your identity." After he said that, he puffed his cigarette quite relaxedly.
Perhaps it was because of the luxurious lighter and he found that the puff of his cigarette seemed much nicer than usual.
Toby glanced at Tim indifferently with an unperturbed expression, but Toby's brows were even more tightly knitted. "I don't mind giving it to you, but I have a condition and I want a satisfactory answer from you."
