Chapter 990
"I thought that you would be jealous of a doctor too," Sonia quipped.
Immediately after that, Toby reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her into his arms. He
placed his forehead against hers and spoke in a low voice in her ears, "Your husband here isn't so petty to the
extent that I regard a doctor as an ordinary male."
To him, Tim was not a typical male anyway. Since that was the case, then naturally he was fine with Tim.
Sonia erupted into a peal of laughter. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Mr. Fuller's the most generous guy ever."
"That goes without saying of course." Toby lifted his chin and though he had a calm look on his face, it was
noticeable that he was quite smug.
Amused, she shook her head. "Alright, alright. Let's not continue this conversation. Let go of me. Dr. Lancaster is
waiting."
At that point, he lifted his head and shot a look not too far away from behind her, where a man was leaning by the
door and twirling a blade. "It's fine to keep him waiting. It doesn't matter." After he said that, he lowered his head
and planted a kiss on her lips.
Tim, who was leaning against the door frame with a hand tucked into his white coat pocket while twirling a blade
with the other hand, saw that and could not help rolling his eyes. He stopped twirling the blade in his hand and
voiced out snappily, "Hey, you two! That's enough. You can go home to act all lovey-dovey, but stop doing that in
my office. Do you think that this is an appropriate place for such PDA?"
As soon as Sonia heard that, her face turned red instantly and she shoved Toby aside. She glared at him before
turning around while swiping at her lips as she smiled at Tim abashedly. "I'm sorry for holding you up. Let's go."
Finally, Tim stopped complaining and he left the room first.
She turned around and glared at the man once again. "Look what you did! I told you last night to behave in public
and that there will be people who get offended. See, I was right."
Toby lifted his eyes and glanced in the direction that Tim walked off in and he pursed his lips. "He's jealous."
"Why would he be jealous?" She rolled her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, he responded haughtily, "He's forever alone, so obviously he feels jealous."
Sonia was instantly rendered speechless. His words made sense and she suddenly found herself unable to argue
with that.
Exasperated, she shook her head and hastily said to him, "Alright, I'll be on my way. Otherwise, Dr. Lancaster might
pop back and urge me to hurry up. Are you gonna wait for me here or head back to Fuller Group? You should leave
first if it's the latter. I reckon that I'll be here until tonight."
"I'm not going back to Fuller Group. I'll stay here with you." He shook his head. "You're going to undergo multiple
tests here at the hospital. There's no way I'm going to be leaving you here by yourself. I will be right here."
At that moment, Sonia felt a warm, fuzzy feeling well up within her. She revealed a tender smile. "Aren't you busy
with things at work?"
"Tom's available. I'll send him back to work in a short while." Toby decided to shirk his responsibility.
Although she did not think that it was a good idea, she did not object to it out of the tiny selfishness within her.
There were multiple tests to be done during a complete body check and some of them made her quite fearful and
worried. At this point, she would feel much safer knowing that there was someone here with her, waiting for her
and concerned about her. As such, she yearned for Toby to stay from the start. That was also why she was elated to
hear him offer to stay on his own accord. Of course though, even if he mentioned otherwise and headed back to
work, she would not have stopped him from doing so. She would only be slightly disappointed, that's all.
"Alright, then. Go on." Toby ruffled her hair. "It won't take too long to complete the initial checks. I'll be right by your
side for the rest of the major checkups later ,so you won't have to worry."
"Okay." She nodded firmly.
Soon after that, she walked out of Tim's office under Toby's intent gaze.
Although Tim had walked out of the room earlier on, he had not gone far and was currently leaning against the wall
near the elevator as he waited for her.
As soon as Tim saw her approaching, he stood up straight and shifted his glasses before asking, "Are you done
cuddling?"
She blushed red in response. "He's worried that I will be afraid during the checkup procedures, so he's staying here
for me. He will also be there for me during the ones that are anxiety-inducing and painful. That's why we talked for
quite some time. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"I didn't wait for too long." Tim nodded slightly and mentioned soon after that, "So, is he going to stay here with you
for the entire day?"
"Yes." Sonia nodded.
Tim twirled his blade. "Great. That proves he's a man."
"He already is." She could not help but emphasize.
Tim lifted his brows and glanced at her as his eyes traveled down from her face to finally land on her neck.
There was an inconspicuous reddened mark on her neck that looked quite illicit.
The smile on his face suddenly spoke volumes. "He is a good man indeed. Alright, let's go." After he said that, he
walked off ahead of her and entered the elevator.
Sonia trailed after him but she could not help feeling slightly uncomfortable. What does he mean by that look and
the smile from earlier on?! She tilted her head perplexedly.
A body check was generally a complicated process, especially a full body check. There were at least tens and even
up to hundreds of checks to run through, so generally it would take one to two days to complete everything.
Although Sonia was meant to go through a complete body check, there were some procedures that they removed,
such as the eyesight, hearing tests, and tens of others that they could exclude without affecting the final result.
After excluding those, it was nearly 11.00PM when she finally completed all of the procedures for her body check.
It had been more than twelve hours since the moment she left the hotel until now and she had not even taken a
single sip of water or a morsel of food. Furthermore, she had to rush all over the place and she was currently in an
exhausted state. At last, she lay in Toby's arms and did not have the urge to move at all.
Fortunately, there was a canteen at the hospital and the food was tasty, so Tim requested the help of a nurse to
order some food for them. The three of them then started to devour their late supper ravenously.
Sonia ate half of her meal and finally regained some energy, so she no longer leaned against Toby and could
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmanage to sit up by herself.
He put down his cutleries and turned to look at the woman next to him. He expressed concern by asking, "Are you
feeling better?"
"Yes." She nodded. "I'm feeling much better."
On the opposite side, Tim heard their conversation and took a sip of soup before replying calmly, "You've got some
slight issue with low blood sugar, so if you fast for slightly more than ten hours, then your body would be exhausted.
You need some nourishment."
"I know that." Sonia nodded in acknowledgement. She was well aware of her issue with low blood sugar, so she was
not surprised by his words.
On the other hand, Toby was not surprised either as he spoke to Tim, "I want you to be in charge of her nutritions."
"You don't even have to tell me to do that. I'll definitely see to it." Tim wiped the side of his mouth gracefully and
shot Toby a look.
Toby frowned in response. "When will we get the report for the body check?"
"It's been processed as urgent, so I reckon we should get it in half an hour." Tim took a look at his watch.
Toby stopped pursuing the topic after obtaining his answer and he continued to enjoy the meal with Sonia.
She was ravenous and finished off practically everything on her platter. The amount of food that she ate was way
more than the usual amount she had.
As soon as Toby noticed her big appetite, there was a flash of worry in his eyes. "You're eating too much. You're
going to get indigestion later on."
She leaned against the back of the chair and replied lazily, "I can't help it. I'm too hungry, but I do realize that I
have overeaten. I'm feeling bloated at the moment." She patted her stomach and she could clearly feel the bulge
on it.
As soon as Toby noticed that, he placed a hand on her stomach and stroked it gently. It felt hard to the touch and
subsequently, he let go. He glanced at Tim and said, "Get her some indigestion tablets."
It was great being in a hospital, especially with a doctor around, because he could just request verbally for any
medication needed at any time he wanted.
