I bet President Fuller believes that it’s best to let Miss Reed, considering he only has three years left to live. He’s even distancing himself from her.

He’s worried that the proximity between them might affect her adversely. What if she falls for him again as time grows? If the president passed away later, she’d be left in pain.

Losing a loved one is devastating, let alone a rekindled love.

Tom believed that was the worry Toby had in mind, which drove him to start distancing himself from Sonia.

“Okay, President Fuller. Got it. I’ll deal with the discharge procedure soon.” Tom agreed to his request with a sigh.

Toby waved at him. “Go.”

“Right.” Tom turned around and left the room.

On the same night, Toby got discharged from the hospital and stayed at an apartment downtown, where he would undergo his recovery before returning to the Fuller Residence.

However, Sonia was kept in the dark about all his plans.

The next morning, Sonia visited him at the hospital with the soup she had made. Yet she was shocked to find another patient instead of Toby in the room. She stood rooted to the spot in disbelief.

What’s going on? Where is Toby?

“Miss!” Sonia stopped the nurse who was passing by with a cart and asked her, “May I check with you the whereabouts of the patient in this room?”

The nurse shot her a puzzled look. “Isn’t he in there right now?”

“No, I wasn’t referring to him. I mean Toby Fuller,” Sonia frowned and replied.

The nurse had a sudden realization and answered, “Mr. Fuller was discharged last night.”

“What? He left the hospital?” Sonia was shaken to the core.

The nurse nodded. “Yes, he left the hospital at midnight.”

“At midnight!” Sonia bit her lip anxiously.
