Sonia shook her head. “I don’t think so. He doesn’t have any heart condition.” Or at least not that I know of. She looked at Toby, who was getting paler and paler, then at Tina, who couldn’t do anything else but cry. Sonia shook her head, for she couldn’t believe how incompetent Tina was. “Miss Gray, if you want your fiancé to live, you should call an ambulance. Crying helps no one.”

Tina stopped crying, then she felt awkward about the fact Sonia had to remind her what to do before she even thought about calling a doctor. However, that didn’t stop her from glaring at Sonia. “Of course I will. You think I’m stupid?”

“Sure, Sonia.” Carl nodded.

 

They went back to their meal without another word. Tina snorted and was about to call an ambulance, but Toby suddenly raised a hand to stop her. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine.”

“But Toby…”

“Don’t cry!” Before she could finish, Toby fought through the pain and put his hand on her face, wiping her tears off with his thumb. “I’m fine, so don’t worry.” He calmed her down gently, but his voice was hoarse. The moment he said that, Toby could feel the pain in his heart subsiding. A few moments later, the pain disappeared completely.
