“Are you sure?” Rose asked with a faint smile. Toby hardened his tone as he responded for a second time. “Of course! I’ve already said that I had no regrets in the past. I didn’t have any regrets back then, and I won’t have any regrets in the future.” “Oh, is that so? I see.” The old woman nodded without commenting any further. He said that he has no regrets and will not have any regrets in the future. Is he sure about that? The old lady chuckled.

 

I sure hope he doesn’t feel embarrassed when he looks back at his own words. “By the way, I hope you can keep our conversation with Sonia today a secret. You should keep your mouth sealed, especially with Tina and the Gray Family, do you hear me?” Rose warned Toby with a stern look in her eyes. He could tell that he would be in trouble if he ever went against her words. “I got it. I’m not going to tell anyone about it.

I’ve already promised Sonia that I won’t help the Grays, so I won’t mention anything to them,” Toby replied as he lifted his chin. “Alright. Then, you should…” Before Rose finished her sentence, she caught sight of the pineapples lying by the front of the bed. The old woman smacked a hand against her bed. “Sonia forgot about her pineapples!” Rose exclaimed. Toby’s eyes glinted; he had been aware of the fact that Sonia had forgotten about her pineapples from the very start.

Yet, he didn’t remind her about it. Consuming pineapples could potentially lead to uterine contractions, so Sonia wasn’t supposed to have any of it. “Hurry up and bring some over to Sonia. She’s probably still on hospital grounds now.” Rose shoved a basketful of pineapples into Toby’s arms before she urged him to go after Sonia. Toby agreed to hand it to Sonia, but he simply passed the pineapples to one of the hospital staff members once he walked out of the ward.

Meanwhile, Sonia was still waiting for a cab outside the hospital. All of a sudden, she caught the strong smell of meat that came from a barbeque restaurant opposite the hospital. Everyone else had their mouths watering when they smelled the scrumptious scent of meat, but Sonia’s expression changed as she felt nausea building up within her. She immediately covered her mouth before she rushed over to the bushes by the side.

Then, she lowered her body to vomit, but nothing much came out apart from mouthfuls of stomach acid. Sonia knew that it was her body’s natural response to her pregnancy; she would feel a strong urge to puke whenever she inhaled any strong or oily scents. “Blergh!” She had only felt better for a short while before she felt nausea assailing her again. That made her lower herself to vomit once more. Her entire face was pale, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead; she was clearly suffering.

With a grim expression on his face, he headed over to the nearest store to buy her a bottle of warm water. “Are you okay?” he said as he edged closer to her. He opened the bottle cap and handed the water to her. Sonia didn’t want to accept his kindness at first, but she gave in as she couldn’t tolerate the sour taste in her mouth. With the water he

How much is it? I’ll bank transfer the amount to you.” She pulled her phone out as she spoke. His expression darkened immediately. “There’s no need for that. It’s just a bottle of water.” “Of course there’s a need for me to

Wouldn’t that be ideal for both of us?” Toby clenched his fist as he found himself at a loss for words. She’s right. We’re practically strangers who aren’t related to each other in any way.

Then, she headed back to the spot where she had been trying to hail a cab earlier. However, she only took two steps before she was struck by a sudden wave of dizziness. Toby rushed forward and held her up the moment he saw her staggering. “Are you okay?” He managed
