Chapter 753 A Visit to Jessica

“Sure, you make the call.” Toby opened his eyes slightly, responding with his hoarse voice.

Sonia replied with an affirmative hum and started applying the anti-inflammatory gel to the scratch marks on his back, during which she inevitably touched the caning scars left on the man’s skin.

Although Toby had already recovered from those wounds, they became horrible-looking scars that looked like centipedes. In the meantime, Sonia couldn’t help but feel heartbroken at the sight of those scars. Her eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden. “It must have hurt a lot, right?”

Knowing what the lady was asking, Toby kept his eyes on the white bedsheet he was lying on with a smile. “What’s done is done, plus I did something terrible, so I deserved to be punished.” The man didn’t answer her question directly because he didn’t see any meaning in doing so since his wounds had already become scars.

Moreover, he was prevented by his pride as a man to tell her directly that it hurt as it would make him seem useless, but at the same time, he reckoned it would sound too fake if he told her that it didn’t hurt at all. Therefore, he decided to be coy in answering her question.

 

“Something terrible? Why would you beat yourself up for that?” Sonia sniggered, finding Toby’s reply amusing.

Nevertheless, Toby turned around slightly and propped his head. “I wasn’t being dramatic. Back then, I was hypnotized into doing horrible things, but in hindsight, those were things that I wouldn’t have done if I could act on my free will. Thus, I wasn’t technically wrong with what I just said.”

 

Sonia let out a sigh and answered, “This was all Tina’s fault. She was the one who sought help from a hypnotist to brainwash you.”

“The hypnotist was her then-boyfriend’s brother,” Toby squinted and said.
