Chapter 1471 The Mood in the Ward
She said, "Yeah, she's got only herself to blame for everything. If she weren't that wicked and were a little kinder, she wouldn't have come to such an end." I wonder if she's regretted it now. After all, her life's coming to an end at the young age of just over 20 years old.
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore lest it gets us down." Toby stroked her hair, only to stand up immediately when he noticed that her hair was hot to the touch. "Come on, let's go back and stop basking in the sun. It's not good to spend too much time in the sun, anyway."
"Uh-huh." Sonia also knew about this, so she nodded and complied without protest. She went back into the room first, touching the wall along the way, while Toby stayed behind to have a final word with Tom.
Tom said to him, "By the way, President Fuller, the court will formally begin hearing the case against Mr. Lore tomorrow. Would you like to attend the hearing?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"No, it's not necessary," Toby refused expressionlessly while closing his eyes. He then said, "I'll attend the final hearing." I'm gonna ask Mr. Lore if he's ever regretted having killed Professor Randall back then, he thought. "By the way, how's Asher Dafoe doing?" This was the only thing he wanted to know right now, for this guy had nearly gotten him and Sonia killed in a fire. Having never asked about Asher for such a long time, he wondered how the man was doing at the moment.
Tom answered, "Asher is still in police custody for the time being. There's something wrong with his financial records, so the finance department is still looking into them. He'll be held accountable for all his crimes when the investigation into his financial records is done, which probably won't take long."
Toby narrowed his eyes. "Okay, let me know when it happens." He would absolutely make Asher's life a
living hell. Even if Asher couldn't be sentenced to death, he would make sure that the man would spend the rest of his life in jail wishing he were dead!
"Roger that, President Fuller," Tom replied with a nod.
After the phone call ended, Toby put the phone away, picked up his documents, and entered the room as well.
As it happened, Sonia was getting changed. Although she did feel comfortable basking in the sun outside, she sweated a little after spending too much time in the sun, so she was about to change into clean clothes.
Toby came in just in time to stumble across such a beautiful scene. In an instant, his eyes widened, and he stood there motionless, watching.
Sensing that something was wrong, Sonia stopped changing her clothes and instinctively turned to look back. When she heard the man breathe and smelled the faint peppermint scent coming from him, she realized that he was standing nearby watching her get changed. Letting out a cry of surprise, she hastily grabbed the covers to cover herself. "Why did you get in so quickly?" She only got changed because she thought Toby was going to speak to Tom for a while longer, but who would have thought he would come in before she finished changing her clothes? Moreover, he had come in for some time and had been standing there watching! She was overwhelmed with shyness at the thought of what the look in his eyes would be like. She snorted at him at once, saying, "Turn around now and stop watching!" I have to get dressed!
Toby didn't listen to her, though. Not only did he have no intention of turning around, he even came
toward her with a faint smile curving his thin lips.
Hearing the man's footsteps, Sonia shrank back a little. "What are you doing, Toby Fuller? Stop there and stay away from me!" she chided in a loud voice, forbidding the man to keep stepping forward.
Of course, Toby wouldn't do as she said. He kept stepping forward and came to the side of the bed before saying in a slightly husky voice, "Darling, let me help you get changed."
Sonia clung tightly to the covers while shaking her head vigorously. "No, it's not necessary. I'll do that by myself. If you help me with that—" Who knows when I'll get to put my clothes on if this guy helps me with it? It's not like he's never done something like that before.
"Come on, let me help you." Turning a deaf ear to her refusal, Toby continued to yank at the covers.
How could a woman's strength compare with that of a man? As a result, Toby soon yanked away the covers shielding Sonia's body. Her upper body was exposed before his eyes just like that, revealing her gorgeous figure.
Toby's eyes darkened at the sight of this.
Sonia's face turned scarlet. She put out her hands in an attempt to cover her chest, but the man grabbed her hands and pinned her down on the bed.
Startled, Sonia asked, "Toby, what are you doing?"
Toby said in a husky voice, "Don't move." Ever since Sonia got pregnant, he had refrained from getting intimate with her out of concern for her health and the babies in her womb. He had restrained himself
for a long time until now and would only kiss her at most. Had he not come across the wonderful scene just now, he would have kept on restraining himself. Now that he had seen it, how could he suppress his urges any longer?
His kisses made Sonia itch. Feeling shy and embarrassed, she pushed him while worriedly listening to the movements outside. "Stop it! Hurry and get off me, or Madam Mary will see us later!"
Toby wouldn't get off her, though. He pressed her to his chest, saying, "Mary has gone out and won't be back so soon."
"Even if she won't be back for a while, it'll be bad if the doctor or the nurses arrive later."
"They won't." Toby looked down at her. He said unhurriedly, "They'll knock on the door before coming in. They won't come in right away, so they won't see it." In other words, he wouldn't let go of her no matter what excuses she made.
In the end, he directly yanked off her clothes, leaving her naked to the waist.
"Ah!" Feeling even more embarrassed, Sonia tried to cover herself again.
Seeing the way that she looked, Toby let out a chuckle and started kissing her…
Two hours later, he finally had his way with her by various means.
Taking the wet towel from him, Sonia turned around with her back to him and wiped herself while ignoring him.
Toby knew that he had gone a little too far and that it was his fault for losing his self-control. "Darling." Sitting on the edge of the bed, he gently took her in his arms. "Don't be mad at me, okay? I won't do it again next time."
Sonia's lips twitched. "You want to do it again next time?!"
Toby buried his face in her neck. "It was my fault for losing my self-control this time. How about you smack me a couple of times as a punishment?"
"Forget it." Sonia shook her head. "What's the point of smacking you a couple of times? It's not like we can travel back in time by doing that."
She's right to say that, thought Toby. "Well, then, what do you want so that you won't be mad at me?" he asked while kissing her on the cheek.
Sonia pushed his hand away. "Stay away from me now and stop pressing yourself against me, and I'll stop being angry in a while." This guy's simply insatiable. If I let him get close to me, perhaps he'll get started again.
Seeing through what she was thinking, Toby said with a soft chuckle, "Okay, I'll run the bath for you."
Sonia signaled him to hurry with a wave of her hand. Feeling sticky all over, she also wanted to clean herself.
The bath was ready soon afterward, and Toby came back and carried her to the bathroom. Placing her in the bathtub, he said softly, "Call me when you're done. I'll come and carry you out of here."
"Okay," Sonia replied while clinging to the edge of the bathtub for support.
Toby stroked her hair and left.
Sonia leaned back against the bathtub's massager while enjoying its automatic massage.
On the other hand, Toby was making the bed in the room outside. He had to get rid of all traces of their lovemaking before Mary came back to prevent her from finding out what they had done. Otherwise, she would castigate him if she were to find out about him getting physical with Sonia while she was pregnant. He was already 31 years old, so it would be very embarrassing if he were to get upbraided, and besides, Sonia would definitely laugh at him for this. Therefore, he had to get rid of these traces.
Toby made the bed very quickly. In just a few minutes, the hospital bed looked totally brand new, while the used sheets were thrown directly into a garbage bag to be taken out and disposed of a while later.
As everything was done so flawlessly, Mary didn't realize what they had done in secret during her absence when she came back. Nevertheless, Sonia felt rather embarrassed.
