Chapter 534 The Grudges Between Them
Not long after the three of them had returned to Toby’s office, the doctor Tom summoned earlier arrived. Immediately, Sonia cleared away the things on the coffee table to make room for the doctor’s medical kit.
However, the doctor had only just put down his kit when Toby pointed at Sonia and instructed, “Attend to her first.”
“President Fuller!”
“No!”
Tom and Sonia protested simultaneously, making their objections clear. As far as Tom was concerned, Sonia was relatively unscathed, whereas Toby’s foot was swollen.
As such, it made sense for the doctor to tend to Toby’s injuries first instead of checking up on Sonia.
Sonia, on the other hand, thought the same thing. The abrasions on her arm were not any worse than Toby’s swollen ankle, but more importantly, he had been the one who stepped in and saved her in time. On that point alone, he rightfully deserved all the medical attention.
