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

Chapter 340 Carl’s Disappearance

Upon closer look, the fitted white sheet was really made out of layers of bandage that covered nearly the entire surface area of Toby’s wounded back. It wasn’t hard to see how badly hurt he was.

“Come on, Sonia, let’s go in!” Tyler urged, placing a hand on the doorknob.

Sonia shook her head vehemently in refusal. “No, let’s not. I’ve already seen him, haven’t I? It’s time for me to go!”

“But—” Tyler began to argue.

However, he was cut off brusquely when Sonia pressed her lips into a grim line and snapped impatiently, “Tyler, I never wanted to come here in the first place, but you didn’t leave me a choice when you dragged me down the hallway. Now that I’ve seen Toby, what more are you asking of me?”

Tyler flushed. “I’m not asking for more. I just want you to stay with Toby for a bit.”

“And why should I? What am I to him?” she retorted witheringly, meeting Tyler’s flustered gaze.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something along the lines of ‘you’re his wife, of course!’ before remembering that she and Toby were already divorced.

As such, he closed his mouth again, feeling stupid as the words died on his tongue.

At the sight of this, Sonia shook her head slightly and turned to head for the elevators. This time, Tyler did not stop her. Perhaps it was because he knew he had no right or power to hold her back.

Sonia stopped in front of an elevator and pressed the button. The elevator arrived not long after, and when the doors opened, a figure clad in a white coat walked out—it was none other than Tim.

He was a little startled to see Sonia on the other side of the doors, and he adjusted his glasses as he asked, “I thought you were discharged. What are you still doing here?”

“I got held back,” Sonia explained nebulously with a mild smile.

Tim peered behind her shoulder and instantly understood what was going on. He narrowed his eyes slightly and inquired, “Your ward isn’t in this direction, so why would you be leaving through the elevators here unless you’ve dropped by to visit Toby?”

While he clearly guessed it right, Sonia did not become flustered but shrugged instead, showing a trace of frustration as she replied, “You caught me. I ran into Tyler on my way out of the hospital, and when I found out Grandma was hospitalized, I decided to visit her. After that, Tyler dragged me all the way here to see Toby.”
