Chapter 767

Not Easily Forgiven

The lady in the wheelchair had barged into Toby’s ward without permission and even threatened and
challenged his lover. I absolutely will not forgive her so easily.

He figured that even though she ran the red light and caused an accident, she was no more than a
clumsy pedestrian. He thought he only needed to ask for appropriate compensation and the proper
responsibilities to be held, after which he would leave it be.

I never thought that woman would act so boldly. It goes without question that I won’t sit by!

At that thought, Toby suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes, a vicious light flitting across them.

The next day, Sonia was roused by the sound of knocking on the door. She shifted a little in her
position between Toby’s arms, her eyes refusing to open. She obviously wasn’t fully awake yet, so she
just had her eyes closed as she said in a sleepy voice, “Toby, someone’s here.”

Toby opened his eyes and couldn’t help but smile as he saw her curled up like a cat. “Yes, I heard it.”

“Get the door, then.” Sonia scrunched her pretty eyebrows as she spoke in a meek voice.

Obviously, she had forgotten where she was at the moment and thought that she was at home.

Toby embraced her. “It’s fine cause he’ll come in himself. Go back to sleep.”

“Okay.” Sonia was truly sleepy then, for she still didn’t remember where she was. So, when she heard
him say that she could continue sleeping, she didn’t make a fuss. She grunted in response, then pulled
the blanket up over her head and continued sleeping.



Seeing that, Toby chuckled lightly, then gently removed his arms from their position around her. He sat
up on the bed and said toward the door, “Come in.”

The person outside stopped knocking, then the handle of the door turned in the next moment.

The door swung open to reveal Tom and Tim standing at the door. When the two saw the man already
up and sitting on the bed, they walked in.

Tom spoke as he walked. “President Fuller, you’re finally awake. I—”

“Shush!” Before Tom could finish, Toby put a finger to his lips, signaling for Tom to lower his voice. Tom
gave a puzzling hum, for he didn’t understand why he had to be quiet.

But soon, he noticed a mound under the blanket, right next to Toby, with long hair peeking out at the
top of the blanket. The confusion inside him immediately disappeared.

No wonder he was told to keep it down. I guess someone’s still asleep.

Still, Toby and Sonia were so close that they even insisted on sleeping together on the sickbed after an
accident. This sort of intimacy was too much for Tom.

In contrast to Tom’s inner thoughts, when Tim saw Sonia sleeping soundly on the bed, he didn’t have
much of a reaction.

After all, this matter didn’t concern him; it was just between the two. If they didn’t find it too crowded,
then he, as a doctor, naturally had nothing to say about it.

“I’m here for an examination.” Tim walked toward the bed and stopped next to it, taking out the medical
record folder he kept under his armpit. He opened the folder, then took a pen out of the front pocket of
his coat. He unscrewed the cap of the pen and began writing notes as he asked Toby how he felt.



After the questioning, he proceeded to check Toby’s head. Then, he smiled and nodded as he said,
“Good, you can get discharged now. However, seeing that she hasn’t woken up yet, I’ll allow you to
leave by noon.”

He clapped the folder shut and smiled as he spoke. Toby knew, of course, that Tim allowed for an
extension of his time in the ward for Sonia’s sake.

Under normal circumstances, he would have none of it and just take Sonia away. But now that Sonia
was obviously still asleep, he could only accept it.

Tim didn’t stay for long in the ward; he left right after completing his tasks. After all, he had a surgery
scheduled afterward, which would take up over ten hours. He couldn’t afford to delay it.

After Tim was gone, save for the sleeping Sonia, there were only Toby and Tom left in the ward.

Tom looked at Toby. “President Fuller, are you feeling better?”

Toby nodded slightly. “Much better.”

He knew Tom wasn’t asking about his head injury. Instead, the latter was referring to his heart.

“That’s good to know.” Tom sighed in relief.

Toby looked at the bandages wrapped around his assistant’s head and pursed his thin lips. “What
about you?”

No matter what, being Tom’s superior, he was the one who told Tom to make the collision. So, now that
Tom was injured, Toby had to take responsibility as his superior.

Tom touched his forehead and smiled sheepishly. “Nothing too bad, just a surface scratch on the
forehead. It’ll recover in a few days.”



Toby nodded. “I’ll double your bonus this month and give you two days off.”

Two days off!

Immediately, Tom beamed when he heard those words. Even the bonus didn’t matter that much
anymore, as he was completely entranced by the holiday.

A holiday! A real holiday!

Heaven knows how long it’s been since my last break! I keep working from early morning into the
middle of the night, and it’s really just too sad.

Tom thought holidays wouldn’t come easy for the rest of his life, but now he got lucky and finally had
time off. The more he thought, the more excited he got, and he could barely stop himself from smiling.

Toby looked up and gave him a nonchalant look. “You good-for-nothing.”

Still smiling, Tom pushed his glasses.

Toby rubbed between his eyebrows and got to business. “Are you done handling the accident last
night?”

“Not yet.” Tom also resumed his serious look and shook his head as he spoke.

Toby narrowed his gaze. “Not yet?”

Tom replied, “Yes. You passed out, so it isn’t something that can be taken lightly. I cannot employ the
usual procedures of a traffic accident, so I decided to wait until you’re conscious and see what you
want to do about it.”



Toby’s mood seemed to lift a bit. “If that’s so, then have you done some investigations? Why did that
woman run the light all of a sudden? Logically speaking, she is in a wheelchair, which means she
cannot move freely. There should be someone with her.”

Of course, he wasn’t suspecting that someone was behind the accident last night. After all, his car had
made an impromptu turn onto that road, and there were also many other cars on that road.

If it were a plot, the person behind the scenes couldn’t have made such an accurate calculation and
appeared right in front of his car. So, he believed that he really was too unlucky last night to have
encountered an uncultured pedestrian.

“I did look her up.” Tom nodded. “The woman’s name is Anya Steinfeld. She is an orphan who grew up
in an orphanage. Because of her good grades, she received a recommendation to study at a well-
known college in Kosovo. She has just returned from Kosovo after plastic surgery.”

“Plastic surgery?” Toby raised an eyebrow.

Tom coughed. “Yes, the woman not only did plastic surgery, she even had her limbs lengthened. That’s
why she’s in a wheelchair; her legs haven’t recovered, and she can’t walk yet. She ran the red light last
night because she took a longer time to cross the road compared to a normal person, so she had only
crossed about a third of the road before the lights turned red. She couldn’t go back to the sidewalk, so
she could only keep moving forward. And that’s where we came in.”

Toby lifted his chin slightly. “Got it. Even though it was an accident last night, a large part of the
responsibility is still hers. Tell her to compensate properly, and if she refuses to cooperate, report to the
police straight away.”

“Understood!” Tom wasn’t surprised to hear the decision, and he nodded as he answered.



However, things apparently weren’t over yet as Toby darkened his expression. “Also, she challenged
and threatened Sonia last night, so I have no intention of letting her off the hook just like that.”

“You knew, President Fuller?” Tom was slightly surprised.

Toby nodded before looking toward the woman still sleeping beside him. Tom followed Toby’s gaze,
then realized that Sonia had told him.

“Then what do you intend to do, President Fuller?” Tom averted his gaze and queried.

Tom knew Sonia was the apple of Toby’s eye, so if he kept looking at her, Toby would dig his eyes out.
