Tim left right after that. Toby straightened out his clothes and looked at the sleeping Sonia. "Mary," he said, "take care of Little Leaf."

"Are you going to work, sir?"

Toby shook his head. "Not at the moment. Tom is handling things in my absence. I'm going to see that woman." He was going to see Taylor.

A hint of disgust crept into Mary's eyes, but she nodded. "Of course, sir. I'll be keeping an eye on the madam. If anything happens, I shall call."

Toby grunted and left the ward. Taylor was locked in the ward at the end of the corridor on the very same floor.

When Toby approached the ward, the bodyguard greeted, "Sir."

Coldly, Toby asked, "How is she doing?"

"I checked on her an hour ago. She was asleep."


"Asleep?" Toby narrowed his eyes and sneered. "In this condition? Brave."

"She made a scene when you and the madam were out, but we pinned her down. Probably got tired after making that ruckus."

"What did she do?" Toby narrowed his eyes further.

The bodyguard shrugged. "She wanted to go to Trifecta and demanded to see the madam. Said there was not much time, but we ignored her. We were afraid she might harm herself to threaten us, so we tied her up, then tossed her onto the bed. She fell asleep not too long later."

"She doesn't know when to quit." Toby's face fell. "Open the door."

"Yes." The bodyguard pressed his finger against the lock and unlocked the door.

Toby stepped into the ward, which was a lot smaller than Sonia's. The first thing he saw was Taylor lying on the bed, all tied up and still sleeping. He raised his chin at her, and the bodyguard went ahead to shove Taylor awake.

Taylor was a bit groggy at first, but when the bodyguard told her Toby was there to see her, she perked up and turned around. When she saw Toby, Taylor visibly shook with excitement. She tried to get up, but the ropes were tied too tightly. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't sit up. Instead, she wriggled like a maggot. In the end, Taylor gave up. She lay on the bed, huffing and puffing, but her eyes remained glued to Toby. "Please, you have to save my father, Mr. Fuller," she pleaded, her eyes tearful.

Toby stood at the end of her bed, looking at her coldly. "You want me to save Titus?"

Taylor nodded.

"You know the grudge he has against my wife." Toby chortled. "And yet you wish for me to save him? How? You want me to convince my wife to go through the test and donate her kidney to him?"

"Mr. Fuller, I know you're not going to do that, but you know she's his real daughter. I know about the feud, but Dad is in danger. She is his daughter, and she is obligated to save him. That's her own father. Are you saying you'd let him die? Do you want her to live in guilt for the rest of her life?" Taylor questioned.

Toby was unfazed. "I won't do it, yes. My wife is his daughter, but so what? That doesn't mean she has to donate her kidney to him. He has never supported my wife a single day in all of her life, and on multiple occasions, he tried to kill her. What makes you think he deserves my wife's help? Just because he's her father?"
