Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1313

That was entirely possible!

"Let me check," Sonia said as she touched the cloth.

Much to her surprise, the cloth was still wet and did not dry even a little.

It meant that its air permeability was exceptional.

"Use mine instead," Sonia stated as she handed her handkerchief to him, intending to take the cloth in his hand

away.

The man, however, was unwilling to do this. He held onto the cloth even tighter than before and denied her any

chance of grabbing it.

That rendered her anxious and angry at the same time. "Toby Fuller, please stop thinking about me now that things

have already come to this. Take a look at how bad your cough is right now!"

He was coughing so violently that his face had turned pale.

If this continued, she feared that he might cough up blood, as it always happened in the movies.

What should she do if their men weren't there to save them if that happened?

She wasn't a doctor and had no idea how to handle such a situation!

On the other hand, Toby raised his gaze and offered Sonia a feeble smile. "It's okay. It's better if I cough alone than

if we both cough."

"That won't do. I am fine now; we'll talk about other things later. You are the one who is affected now, so you should

take this and cover your nose and mouth! Toby Fuller, do you hear me?" Sonia yelled while insisting on moving his

hand away.

She wanted to remove his hand from his mouth and nose and replace it with her handkerchief.

However, before she could do that, the man started coughing worse than before. It was as she feared—Toby

started coughing up blood.

Sonia's eyes narrowed and she experienced a headrush when she saw the blood on the ground. "Blood…" she

murmured tremblingly. She couldn't understand why such a thing occurred. Why is there blood? He was merely

coughing a couple of times earlier! Though the coughs were bad, they weren't severe enough to cause blood to be

coughed up! In the movies, people who typically cough up blood are those who have advanced lung cancer or have

seriously damaged organs. But Toby has none of those! How did it become so bad that he vomited blood when he

was only choking on smoke?

Sonia was utterly terrified and panicked at this point. "Why are you spitting blood, Toby? Please don't scare me!"

Seeing Sonia's anxious expression and tearful face, Toby slightly moved his lips, wanting to reassure her that he was

all right. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood poured out instead of consoling

words.

He was experiencing such intense pain in his heart that his entire body was shivering. At the same time, he also felt

so chilly that he was having trouble breathing.

Sonia shrieked in terror once more at the sight of the blood. Why is he vomiting blood again? "Toby, what's wrong

with you? Please don't frighten me..."

In a completely panicked state, she quickly hugged his unbalanced body while trying to pinch various acupuncture

points on his body.

She was utterly clueless as to why he had vomited blood.

The only thing she could do now was to perform a simple first-aid procedure.

Though she was aware that this first-aid technique probably wouldn't help Toby in his current condition, she decided

that it was better than doing nothing.

He, on the other hand, lay in Sonia's arms as he blinked feebly.

He didn't anticipate being in such a situation himself either, but he was aware of the precise cause of this. The

heavy smoke traveled to his lungs from between his mouth and nose, then to his heart.

The lungs and the heart were connected. His heart had already been hurt after his fall from the cliff and hitting the

water previously.

Though the water's surface was supple and falling into it from a great height wouldn't cause death, the surface

would harden because of the tremendous surface pressure the instant a person or an object struck it from a great

height.

This was why many divers had bruises on their bodies and looked as if they had been beaten up. It was exactly

because of that episode that Toby's heart was damaged once more.

Tim once said that Toby's heart was incapable of being defiled by any pollution and was not in a condition to

experience even the slightest damage to it anymore.

However, the smoke he had just ingested contained a variety of chemical compounds. All of those were the kind of

contaminants that he could not allow to taint his heart. As a result of this, his damaged heart was overburdened

and started to exhibit symptoms.

Toby initially believed that the worst thing to happen was that his heart would hurt but unexpectedly, he started

coughing up blood.

It seemed that this time, in addition to Sonia being extremely terrified, Toby was also unable to keep his heart

problem a secret from her any longer.

A bitter smile appeared on his face. Then, he raised his hand to caress Sonia's face, attempting to calm her down

and remind her to cover her nose and mouth first.

Otherwise, she would suffer as well.

However, despite his best efforts, the excruciating pain in his heart was tormenting him to the point where he could

no longer do anything. Such pain was something that people would prefer death over it.

It was only then that they could be relieved of their misery.

Hence, before his hand could touch Sonia's face, the pain in his heart deprived him of any energy in his limbs, and

his hand simply fell to the ground.

Toby was in Sonia's arms and he began coughing so violently that he ran out of breath. His eyes were also blurred,

and he could no longer see clearly.

Sonia started crying as the sight of him in such a fragile state worried her. "Toby, wake up! Don't sleep! Do you hear

me? You cannot fall asleep!"

She was utterly terrified that if he went unconscious, he would never be able to open his eyes again, much like the

way the movies frequently depicted.

If he was merely being choked by the smoke, she wouldn't be so terrified, but he vomited blood!

"Please, Toby, don't shut your eyes. Open your eyes and look at me! Please!" Sonia repeatedly shook his body

helplessly.

Toby heard her pleas and felt her fear too. He truly wished to listen to her and open his eyes, but his eyelids were

too heavy for him to do so.

He knew he had to let her down this time.

If Lady Luck did not smile at him, this would be the end of his life, but if by some stroke of luck, he managed to

survive, he hoped that she would not be upset with him. After all, he did not deliberately refuse to open his eyes

and look at her.

Toby eventually passed out while still in Sonia's arms. If not for his sporadic cough, Sonia would have thought that

he had passed away.

Although he was still alive, she was concerned about his condition because she was unsure of how long he could

last.

She could even feel that he was really in a bad shape.

With Toby in her arms, she shouted in despair, "Please, is anyone there?! Please help us!"

How she wished someone was outside at this very moment to save her and Toby.

At the same time, she regretted being here and her decision to let Toby come with her.

If he didn't follow her, she would be the only one trapped if a fire broke out, not him.

It was growing darker around them. The smoke was also getting thicker and Sonia, who had not been covering her

nose and mouth for a while, inhaled a lot of smoke as well and began coughing. The coughs were increasingly

hurting her lungs.

However, she paid no attention to her predicament and proceeded to tightly cover Toby's mouth and nose with her

handkerchief so that Toby, who was already in a horrible state, might inhale less smoke.

And the price she paid was that she inhaled increasingly more smoke while her coughing was getting severe. Her

eyes were also affected as tears flowed endlessly until her vision clouded and her head started spinning.
