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

The doctor’s hand paused in mid-air as he looked up in mild surprise, his gaze flickering from Sonia to the impassive Toby. He didn’t think he was using much force at all, so it was unlikely that Toby felt any pain. Besides, judging from the man’s lack of erpression, I highly doubt he’s in pain, the doctor concluded.

As the doctor shook his head, he did not dwell further on Sonia’s remark before dismissing it as a wife’s show of concern for her husband’s well-being. Well, I guess I’ll just be as gentle as I can. After having decided on this, the doctor sighed and carried on with the massage.

The massage had continued for quite a while before he opened the medical kit and began to rummage through its contents, selecting the bandages for Toby’s wound.

Sonia patted Douglas on the back as she stood up. “How’s his foot, doctor? Is there a fracture or something?”

While he dabbed antiseptic onto Toby’s foot, the doctor answered dutifully, “Don’t you worry, ma’am. Your husband’s foot will be alright. There’s no damage to his bones, although he has sprained his ligament and tendon. He just needs to take it easy for about two weeks or so before he’ll make a full recovery.”

Upon hearing this, she let out a breath of relief. Then, she nodded with a smile as she answered, “That’s good to know.”

The guilt she had felt earlier significantly waned after she heard that Toby would recover just fine.

She knew he had only tried to save himself, but it didn’t disregard the fact that he saved her all the same, even though such a feat was more of a coincidence than anything else. She would have been indebted to him had his foot suffered any real and serious injury.

He, on the other hand, was regarding Sonia with a dark look when he noticed the wide grin on her face. She might as well congratulate me, he thought sullenly.

As though she sensed his gaze, Sonia turned to look at him in askance. “What is it?”

“Nothing.” Toby answered curtly as a resentful look flashed in his eyes.

She shrugged and looked away.

A few minutes later, the doctor rose from his seat and declared, “Okay, sir. Your foot is all wrapped up and you’re ready to go. Make sure to keep the bandaged area dry and after a day, you can replace your dressings with a new one from any clinic or hospital.”

Sonia nodded on Toby’s behalf and replied, “Alright. Thank you so much, doctor.”

The manager saw the doctor out and when he returned to the scene, he had a large Gundam action figure in his arms along with an intricate box. He gave Sonia and Toby an apologetic look as he explained, “Sir, Madam, I’m terribly sorry for the injuries you sustained due to our negligence today. If you don’t mind, we offer you these as compensation.”

With that, the man handed the Gundam action figure and the box over to her.

However, she did not take them and merely glanced at Toby as she pointed out, “You’re the injured one, so you should take a look at the gifts instead.”
