This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“You may leave now.” Toby massaged his forehead.

Toby was still looking pale, much to Tom’s worry, so Tom stood there and refused to leave. “Are you really alright, sir? Should I take you to the hospital? Dr. Lancaster said you can get discharged, but you have to rest. You went against his advice and came back to work immediately. That’s going to take a toll on your heart, so—”

“It’s fine. I know what I’m doing,” Toby sipped some water and interrupted him. “I’ll go to the hospital if I can’t hold on anymore.”

“Very well then. I’ll be going now. Call me if anything happens.” Tom sighed and took two steps back before turning around to leave.

After Tom left, Toby put his glass down and took a bottle of pills from his drawer. He uncapped it and popped two pills into his mouth before swallowing them dry.

Once he did so, Toby screwed the cap shut and fiddled with the bottle, looking at it mockingly. The pills were specifically made to keep his heart condition under control. He had taken it for more than twenty years previously, and just when he thought he was free of them, he was once again forced to take them after six years.

But Toby regretted nothing. He’d still jump down the cliff for Sonia if he had to make the same decision again. Toby heaved a sigh and tossed the bottle back into the drawer. He then closed it and went back to work on the documents.

A hospital staff member called Toby that afternoon to get him to come over for a checkup.

Toby postponed the less important plans in the afternoon and left with Tom.

They came to the company’s car park, but before they got to the car, Toby suddenly stopped and stared ahead in disbelief.

Tom had no idea what was going on. When Toby stopped, he stopped as well. “What is it, sir?” he asked.
