Chapter 339 Visiting Old Mrs Fuller

Upon noticing the dazed look on Sonia’s face, Charles leaned forward and asked, “What’s wrong, baby?”

Sonia snapped out of her thoughts and was initially surprised to see how close Charles’ face was to her own. Quickly taking a step back, she averted his gaze and mumbled, “Nothing.”

Charles narrowed his eyes at her demeanor. What’s going on? Is she hiding from me?

“Sonia, can we go and see Grandma now?” To one side, Tyler was annoyed to see Sonia getting too close to any man other than Toby. As far as he was concerned, she belonged to Toby alone, and as Toby’s younger brother, he was obligated to ward off any other man who tried to get chummy with Sonia.

Sonia nodded. “Okay, let’s go.” With that, she turned to address Charles. “So I guess I’ll get going then, Charles.”

“Go on,” he replied with a nod.

Sonia gave Tyler a look, and they sauntered in the opposite direction of the elevator lobby.

This floor was dedicated to VIP wards, so it was no surprise that Rose would be staying here. “Here we are,” Tyler announced half a minute later, coming to a stop in front of one of the doors.

Sonia looked up at the plaque that bore Rose’s full name and gently knocked on the door. It opened within seconds to reveal Mary, whose eyes glimmered in relief as she exclaimed, “Oh, it’s you, Young Mistress!”

Sonia smiled at her. “Hello, Mary.”

“How good of you to drop by, Young Mistress,” Mary said cheerily. “Old Mrs. Fuller was just talking about you. She’s been calling you, but for some reason, she couldn’t get through your phone.”

“My phone ran out of battery,” Sonia explained ruefully. She had forgotten to charge it after her call with Tyler last night, and when she woke up this morning, she saw that her phone had died but chose to do nothing about it.

She had thought that she could charge her phone once she was back home, but little had she known that Rose would bombard her with calls.

“It’s alright. Come on in, Young Mistress.” Mary ushered enthusiastically as she opened the door fully to allow Sonia’s passage.
