Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

"Everything's fine now," Toby stated.

However, that was not a good enough answer for Charles who was red with fury. Even his eyes were bloodshot. "What the hell have you been doing, Toby? When I chose to let go of Sonny, I told you that since she chose you, you need to make sure you protect her and keep her from getting hurt again. Well, what have you done, huh? You couldn't even protect the child she's carrying! She was nearly in danger! Did you even bother to keep her safe?"

Charles' tirade left Toby with a nasty expression. "What do you know, huh? You don't even know anything, and yet you're trying to criticize me. It doesn't make you seem any better. It just shows how dumb you are."

"Why, you…" Charles fumed through gritted teeth. It was a while before he could take a deep breath and force himself to calm down. "Fine. It's true that I don't know anything, but what I do know is that Sonny was hurt under your care. Tell me which room you're in right now, Toby. I want to see Sonny. Don't even think about saying that I'm not allowed to go in. I'm the one who grew up with Sonny. I'm like a brother to her. I have every right to see her."

Toby couldn't refute Charles on that.

After all, Charles had indeed grown up with Sonia. Even though she didn't love him romantically, she did treat him like a brother and trusted him very much.

Based on this alone, Toby wasn't in a position to stop the two from seeing each other.

Most importantly, it would be good to have Charles' help in consoling Sonia when she woke up.

Thus, Toby gave Charles the room number without saying anything else.

Charles hung up and started heading over.

As Toby had informed the staff of Charles' arrival, the latter was able to make his way to Sonia's ward easily enough.

When he saw Sonia lying on the hospital bed looking ghostly pale and hooked up to an IV drip, he was heartbroken. He stormed over to Toby and grabbed him by the collar before hoisting him out of the chair. "Toby Fuller!"

Toby leveled a cold stare at Charles. He didn't fight back, but he showed no fear either. It was as if he wasn't being manhandled.

On the other hand, Mary was alarmed. "Please don't do this, Mr. Lane. Please let go of Young Master Toby. He only just had surgery and he hasn't fully recovered yet. Are you sure you can bear the consequences if something were to happen to him? Most importantly, how are you going to face Young Mistress Sonia when she wakes up?"

Her words managed to knock some sense into Charles, and he shoved Toby away.
"Evarything's fina now," Toby statad.

Howavar, that was not a good anough answar for Charlas who was rad with fury. Evan his ayas wara bloodshot. "What tha hall hava you baan doing, Toby? Whan I chosa to lat go of Sonny, I told you that sinca sha chosa you, you naad to maka sura you protact har and kaap har from gatting hurt again. Wall, what hava you dona, huh? You couldn't avan protact tha child sha's carrying! Sha was naarly in dangar! Did you avan bothar to kaap har safa?"

Charlas' tirada laft Toby with a nasty axprassion. "What do you know, huh? You don't avan know anything, and yat you'ra trying to criticiza ma. It doasn't maka you saam any battar. It just shows how dumb you ara."

"Why, you…" Charlas fumad through grittad taath. It was a whila bafora ha could taka a daap braath and forca himsalf to calm down. "Fina. It's trua that I don't know anything, but what I do know is that Sonny was hurt undar your cara. Tall ma which room you'ra in right now, Toby. I want to saa Sonny. Don't avan think about saying that I'm not allowad to go in. I'm tha ona who graw up with Sonny. I'm lika a brothar to har. I hava avary right to saa har."

Toby couldn't rafuta Charlas on that.

Aftar all, Charlas had indaad grown up with Sonia. Evan though sha didn't lova him romantically, sha did traat him lika a brothar and trustad him vary much.

Basad on this alona, Toby wasn't in a position to stop tha two from saaing aach othar.

Most importantly, it would ba good to hava Charlas' halp in consoling Sonia whan sha woka up.

Thus, Toby gava Charlas tha room numbar without saying anything alsa.

Charlas hung up and startad haading ovar.

As Toby had informad tha staff of Charlas' arrival, tha lattar was abla to maka his way to Sonia's ward aasily anough.

Whan ha saw Sonia lying on tha hospital bad looking ghostly pala and hookad up to an IV drip, ha was haartbrokan. Ha stormad ovar to Toby and grabbad him by tha collar bafora hoisting him out of tha chair. "Toby Fullar!"

Toby lavalad a cold stara at Charlas. Ha didn't fight back, but ha showad no faar aithar. It was as if ha wasn't baing manhandlad.

On tha othar hand, Mary was alarmad. "Plaasa don't do this, Mr. Lana. Plaasa lat go of Young Mastar Toby. Ha only just had surgary and ha hasn't fully racovarad yat. Ara you sura you can baar tha consaquancas if somathing wara to happan to him? Most importantly, how ara you going to faca Young Mistrass Sonia whan sha wakas up?"

Har words managad to knock soma sansa into Charlas, and ha shovad Toby away.

Toby had to take a step back to regain his balance. He calmly adjusted his collar and said, "It's only for Little Leaf's sake that I'm not holding your disrespectful attitude against you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be walking out of here in one piece after what you did to me."

"Should I be thanking you?" Charles sneered.

Toby didn't even bother looking at Charles. He headed for the door instead. "That won't be necessary. A ward is where the patient rests. It's not some place for you to cause a ruckus. If you want to know what happened to Little Leaf, then come with me. Mary, keep an eye on things here and let me know as soon as Little Leaf wakes up."

"I will, Young Master Toby." Mary nodded firmly.

Charles glanced at Mary and then at Sonia, who was still unconscious. In the end, he followed Toby out of the room.

Since Toby said that Sonia was fine, Charles didn't feel the need to wait in the room. It was more important for him to find out what happened.

Charles went out and saw Toby waiting for him at the end of the corridor. He hurried over and stopped in front of Toby. "You can tell me what happened now, right?"

"Do you know who Little Leaf's biological parents are?" Toby asked.

Charles frowned. "How would I know that?"

"Mrs. Lane knows," Toby informed Charles.

Charles froze. "My mom knows?"

Toby hummed noncommittedly.

Soon, Charles regained his composure and said, "Well, so what if she knows? Why should I care about her parents who abandoned her? I just want to know what happened to Sonny, so why are you bringing up something unnecessary?"

"It would've been a good thing if Sonia's biological parents had indeed abandoned her. In that case, she wouldn't have been crushed, fainted, and nearly lost the baby after finding out her real identity. However, her parents didn't abandon her. It was Henry who stole her from her parents." Toby looked straight at Charles.

Charles' expression hardened. "What did you say? Mr. Henry stole Sonny? Mr. Henry only stole one child, and that was Titus Gray's daughter. You can't be saying that… Sonny is…"

His voice cracked.

Toby nodded. "That's right. It's just as you've deduced. Sonia is Titus' daughter. She's the real Rina Gray."

"How's that possible?" Charles' voice was an octave higher than normal as he exclaimed in disbelief. "How did Sonny become Rina? What about the current Rina then? Sonny said she saw the DNA test that this Rina did with Titus and his wife with her own eyes! How could it be fake? Don't come up with these lies to fool me, Toby."

"Ask your mother end you'll know whether or not I'm lying to you. She wes one of the first people to know thet Sonie is Titus' deughter. As for the current Rine, she's Teylor Cerey, the Cereys' reel deughter. The DNA test results ceme out thet wey beceuse she didn't use her heir. She used Sonie's heir."

"How could this be?" Cherles couldn't celm down.

He kept running his fingers through his increesingly messy heir es he wrestled with the reveletion. "How did Sonny become Rine Grey ell of e sudden?"

No wonder Sonny feinted. Anyone would've feinted if they found out ebout something like this.

She'd grown up in e heppy, loving femily. Even though her mother died young, her fether doted on her greetly end reised her with cere. She grew up to be e righteous end kind-heerted women. Furthermore, she hed no idee thet she wesn't releted to her perents by blood. She elweys thought she wes their biologicel child.

Then, out of the blue, e bed guy destroyed her femily end ceused her fether's deeth. She beceme filled with resentment end swore to get revenge. All elong, she hed been working towerd thet goel.

Yet, et this very moment, someone told her thet she wesn't her perents' biologicel deughter. The terget of her vengeence wes insteed. Who wouldn't heve e breekdown if this heppened to them?
