Chapter 376 Two Pieces of Good News
For a moment, Sonia was stunned. Then, she realized that the person holding her hand wasn’t Charles, but Toby, so she hurriedly tried to pull out her hand.
Toby, however, tightened his grip.
Sonia was unable to break free, so her face flushed, and she yelled, “Toby, what are you trying to do!”
“Nothing. I just don’t want you to move around.” A gleam flickered across Toby’s eyes as he said, “I’ll let you go if you quiet down. Don’t move around. You’ll get dizzy.”
Sonia let out an angry laugh.
He’s holding my hand because he doesn’t want me to move? What kind of a reason is that?
Even if he didn’t touch her, she wouldn’t move around either.
But Sonia also knew that it was useless to argue with this stubborn man.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her displeasure and remained motionless. “Okay. Now it’s time for you to keep your word. Let me go.”
Toby pursed his thin lips and let go of her.
Once Sonia’s hand was freed, she immediately retracted it and placed it under the blankets before asking, “Why are you here? Where are Charles and Douglas?”
“It’s night time. Charles went back, and Douglas fell asleep in the room inside. I’m here to keep you company,” Toby answered after sitting back down.
Sonia pursed her lips. “Who asked for your company?”
“Nobody asked for my company. It’s of my own volition. By the way, there are two pieces of good news. Do you want to hear them?” Toby changed the subject.
He knew that if he continued to talk about accompanying her, she would definitely end up kicking him out of the ward.
Sure enough, as soon as Toby changed the topic, Sonia’s attention was captured, and she asked, “What is it?”
“The first one is that Titus was stripped of his position as president,” Toby replied without beating around the bush.
Sonia was surprised. “Dismissed? Why did this happen?”
When Toby saw how excited she was, he smiled. “Because you sent Tina to the detention center, Triforce Enterprise almost went bankrupt, and Titus is her father, so it naturally attracted the attention of Triforce’s shareholders. Tina has once again implicated the company, so Triforce’s shareholders jointly held a board meeting and removed Titus from his position. In the future, Titus will only be Triforce Enterprise’s largest idle shareholder.”
Although Triforce Enterprise still belonged to the Gray Family, they no longer had the authority.
For someone as conceited as Titus, this was a huge torment, because he wouldn’t have a say in something that obviously belonged to him. Instead, he could only watch as other people used it. How was he supposed to feel good about that?
“Did this happen today?” Sonia asked.
Toby nodded. “Yes. This morning.”
Sonia smiled. “Serves him right. Tina caused Titus great harm, so I’m sure Titus hates her a lot now, right?”
These two used to be a loving father-daughter pair.
Now, they had become enemies. It was certainly ironic.
“Oh, by the way, what’s the second good news?” Sonia propped her body up.
After lying down for so long, her lower back was sore and aching, so she urgently needed to sit and relax.
All she did was sit up, but severe dizziness struck her. Sonia groaned from the discomfort and almost fell off the side of the hospital bed.
Upon seeing this, Toby immediately got up and took a step forward; he used his body as a railing to block her, which successfully prevented her from falling off the hospital bed.
“Are you okay?” Toby placed his hand on her shoulder and looked down at her with unconcealed concern in his eyes.
“I’m okay. Just a little dizzy.” As Sonia leaned against Toby’s abs, her breathing was rapid, and her eyes were closed slightly as she tried to adjust to the dizziness in her head.
Noticing how much discomfort she was in, Toby placed his hands on her temple and gently massaged it.
Sonia wanted to push him away, but she was so dizzy that she had no strength, so she could only let him do it.
Right now, she regretted sitting up.
It was clear that she hadn’t recovered from her concussion yet, because making any large movements would cause her dizziness and nausea. If it got more serious, it may cause brain hypoxia and shock on the spot.
After a certain amount of time, Sonia felt a little better, so she removed herself from Toby’s arms. “Thank you, President Fuller.”
She figured that she should thank him.
If he hadn’t caught her in time, she would’ve fallen off the bed.
She already had a concussion, so if she fell again, it might even lead to brain death.
Not to mention, Toby had continuously rubbed her temples to relieve her discomfort. If he hadn’t, she wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.
“It’s nothing. How do you feel now?” Toby held Sonia’s shoulders and helped her lie back down.
Sonia didn’t resist either.
She couldn’t see, so she could only let him take care of her.
Otherwise, she might hit her head just trying to grab a pillow or lie down.
“Much better,” Sonia replied feebly after resting her head on the pillow.
Seeing as her face had turned pale, Toby pressed the bell on the bedside. “I called for the doctor. It’s better to let them take a look.”
“Okay. Thank you.” Sonia didn’t refuse.
After tucking her under the blanket, Toby sat back down. “Let’s continue with the topic earlier. The second piece of good news will probably make you even happier. The person who attacked you has been arrested!”
“Arrested!” Sonia’s round eyes widened, which Toby found to be rather adorable.
He wanted to reach out and touch her, but he restrained himself and replied after a gulp, “Yes.”
“That’s great!” Sonia clasped her hands together. “Where was she caught?”
Toby wouldn’t lie to her, and there was no need to lie to her either.
So, she figured the person must have indeed been caught.
“In Midbert Village. My people and the police went to search for her and finally found her,” Toby explained gently.
Sonia frowned. “It was that easy?”
She was in Midbert Village after all!
That person had taken a taxi to Midbert Village. She thought that the culprit went there because she’d have a better chance at escaping since there was no surveillance in that area.
Unexpectedly, that person had remained in Midbert Village and didn’t leave, which didn’t quite make sense.
The fact that that person had disguised herself as a man and covered herself up so well so that no one would discover her true identity meant that she was very clever. If she was clever, why didn’t she run away? Why did she stay in Midbert Village?
On the contrary, it felt as if that person had deliberately revealed her whereabouts to attract the police so that they could arrest her.
Sonia’s thoughts were clearly written on her face, and Toby saw it at once, so he said, “That person’s home is in Midbert Village.”
“So, don’t you think it’s strange? Why would someone stay in their own home and wait to be caught? The fact that she knew how to disguise herself so well shows that she doesn’t want to be caught, but she just took a taxi back to the village. That outfit was so flamboyant, and it must’ve left people with clues about her whereabouts. Isn’t it very contradictory? So, are you sure you’ve really caught the person who attacked me?” Sonia’s brows were furrowed tightly.
Toby lifted his chin. “I know what you mean. The police and I also suspected that she was wrongly arrested because it was too easy, but it turned out that it was really her. Her height and weight are the same as what was calculated by the police. Also, when she was arrested in her home, they found the clothes she wore when she attacked you. According to her, she took a taxi back to Midbert Village and left clues for the police on purpose so that they could arrest her.”
“What?” Sonia was a little confused. “Why would she do that?”
It turned out that getting the police to come catch her was indeed intentional.
If that was the case, why would that person cover herself up so tightly? She could’ve just shown her true identity.
Sonia truly couldn’t figure out what this person was thinking.
“She said that her goal had been achieved, so naturally, she had no need to hide anymore. Even if she hid, she figured she would be found one day, so she’d rather not hide,” Toby explained with a chill in his voice.
