Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1397

Toby knew he would have to give Sonia a good explanation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be allowed to enter the bedroom ever again.

He massaged his forehead.

Just then, Mary asked, "Do you want to check on that Gray woman, Young Master Toby?"

Toby shook his head. He had an icy expression as he said, "No. That can wait until Little Leaf wakes up."

He wouldn't feel reassured until Sonia woke up.

As for Rina, there's no rush. It's not as if she'd die.

Mary didn't press the issue, though she expressed her confusion. "Young Master Toby, according to the footage just now, that woman said that Young Mistress Sonia is Titus Gray's daughter. She also said you knew about it and helped hide her real identity. Is that true?"

Toby pursed his lips. It was a while before he replied, "It's true."

Mary gasped. "No wonder Young Mistress Sonia was so upset. She always thought her birth parents had abandoned her and the Reeds adopted her. That's why she's determined to avenge them, but now she's become her enemy's daughter. Anyone would have a breakdown before they even get to take the revenge."

No one would be able to accept this news.

On one side, she had her adoptive parents who cherished her and doted on her.

On the other side, she had her birth parents who hadn't abandoned her after all. It was her adoptive parents who took her away from them.

Young Mistress Sonia might not have broken down if the couple no longer had any love for her after over two decades of separation, no matter if they did abandon her, or if someone did steal her away.

That way, Young Mistress Sonia could take her revenge on Titus Gray without any emotional burden. Why would she have to show mercy to her birth parents if they didn't love her?

However, that was not the case.

Even though Titus and his wife Julia had been separated from their oldest daughter for over two decades, their love for her hadn't declined.

Everyone saw the way the couple doted on the fake Rina when she was reunited with the family. They tried their best to make it up to her.

The couple truly loved their daughter.

Now that Young Mistress Sonia turned out to be their daughter, it'd be a shock if she was able to harden her heart against them when she knew just how much they loved their daughter.

Alas… Life has played such a cruel joke on them.

"If only that woman didn't come here and tell Young Mistress Sonia her real identity," Mary fumed. "If she wanted to be Rina Gray, she should've stuck with that identity for the rest of her life. Why did she come and tell Young Mistress Sonia about it? She nearly caused…"

Mary was still a little scared and couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence, but she loathed Rina with every fiber of her being.

Toby's expression was unpleasant.

That's right. Since she wanted to take Little Leaf's identity, I gave her the chance to do just that, so she should've stuck with it for the rest of her life.

Yet, she chose to come and cause trouble as if she had a death wish.

Toby narrowed his eyes which glinted murderously.

"Does anyone else know about this, apart from you and that woman, Young Master Toby?" Mary asked.

Toby rubbed his nose bridge. "The Lanes know about it too."

"No one else, apart from the Lanes?"

Toby hummed in acknowledgment.

Mary sighed in relief. "That's good. The Lanes have a good relationship with Young Mistress Sonia. If they know about it, they can also help console her. I think you should tell the Lanes about this, Young Master Toby. I'm sure Young Mistress Sonia would still have a hard time accepting this when she wakes up, and the fact that you helped that woman must have scarred her too. She wouldn't want to have you around. You should hurry up and tell the Lanes about this. Let the Lanes come over and talk to Young Mistress Sonia. They can help put in a good word for you too. Otherwise, you won't get to even stay in the same room with Young Mistress Sonia."

Mary understood Toby well. She had watched him grow up.

She knew that even though he helped that woman mask her identity, it wasn't because he had feelings for her or that he wanted to betray Sonia.

Young Master Toby must've done it for Young Mistress Sonia's sake.

Even a bystander like her knew what Sonia would be confronted with if she was known as the Grays' daughter, and as Sonia's husband, Toby would be even more aware of this.

Young Master Toby must've known from the moment he found out about Young Mistress Sonia's identity that she would collapse emotionally if she found out. She wouldn't be able to accept this reality and might even do something stupid. That's why he had to find a way to keep the truth from her so that she wouldn't find out that she's the Grays' daughter. That's why he chose to help the fake Rina Gray hide her identity.

What he did wasn't wrong. The only thing he did wrong was that he lied to Young Mistress Sonia.

But Young Mistress Sonia is in shock and despair. She would only think about the fact that Young Master Toby lied to her and helped another woman. She wouldn't think that he was only doing it for her sake.

At a time like this, Young Master Toby would have to deal with Young Mistress Sonia's hurt and blame. The best-case scenario would be if she just gave him a cold shoulder for some time. The worst-case scenario was if she refused to stay in the same room as him and asked for a divorce.

For Young Master Toby's sake, for the sake of letting the couple mend their relationship sooner rather than later, we must get the people close to Young Mistress Sonia to come and advise her.

Otherwise, it would be hard for Young Mistress Sonia to get over this anytime soon.

Mary's words were a good reminder for Toby.

That's right. When Sonia wakes up, she won't be happy with me. She might not even want to see me. If that happens, I won't even get the chance to explain things to her.

He did need to get some outside help. It wasn't just to comfort Sonia and help her get over this hurdle, but also to ensure he could still get the chance to spend the night with his wife in the future.

"I know. I'll get in touch with them later," Toby said with a nod.

A thought occurred to Mary, who asked, "Does Old Mrs. Fuller know about this?"

"She knows," Toby replied.

Mary nodded. "Since she knows, then we won't have to tell her about this."

"We can tell Grandma the gist of it once everything's settled," Toby answered with a hoarse voice.

There was a knock on the door.

Mary opened the door and Tim rushed in at once. He was still in his surgical gown. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

As soon as he came out of the surgical theater after completing a surgical procedure for his patient, he heard about Sonia's incident and hurried over without even changing first.

"What happened? Why did Sonia nearly have a miscarriage?" When Tim came over, the first thing he did was check on the ghostly pale woman who was hooked to an IV drip. Then, he turned to Toby with a censorious look in his eyes.

Toby slid Sonia's hand back under the blanket before he stood up and looked Tim straight in the eye. "Taylor Carey used your name to barge into the room before telling Little Leaf about her real identity."

"What did you say?" Tim's brows furrowed at once.

He knew that Sonia was Titus' daughter. Toby told him about it.

"You said she used my name to get in?" Tim's expression was dark and intimidating.

"She managed to get her hands on a nurse's uniform and came in her disguised as a nurse. Then, she said you told her to come and help Little Leaf with her check-in, so that's why Mary and the bodyguards let her in without suspecting anything. I'm sure you can guess the rest."

"The nerve!" Tim was furious. "How dare she use me as her excuse? Where's that woman? Did you get her?"

How dare she use my name?! I'll skin her alive if it's the last thing I do!
