When he received her letter and read that she was going to confess to the person whom she was in love with, it triggered his heart attack and caused him to be admitted to the hospital where he barely recovered half a month later. He then replied to the letter and asked her to meet him since he wanted to tell her his truest thoughts.

It was at that moment when the hospital notified Toby that they had found a suitable heart donor. He finally made the decision to confess to Sonia after he knew that he would be able to continue living. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done so as he didn’t want to be a burden to her since he would be at death’s door anyway.

By the time she had received his letter and contacted him, it was already the same day as his operation. It took him about a month of rest before he could even get out of his bed. However, when he asked Tom to bring him to the agreed location where he was to meet Sonia, Tina had shown up instead.

As Toby had never seen what Maple looked like whereas Tina could provide details of what they had written in their correspondences, he came to believe that Tina was Maple.

 

Sonia’s eyes widened in shock when she heard what he said. “Are you saying that Tina pretended to be me to meet you?!”

“Yes!” Toby nodded. “Six years ago, the person who showed up at 10:00AM on the day that we agreed upon was Tina.”

“That ain’t right. You were the one who told me to meet you at 2:00PM. Yet, you never arrived even though I waited until the night!” She frowned as she stared at him while he shared the same expression.
