Chapter 232

“No, that’s impossible,” he muttered, holding his fists tightly. How is it possible that I became a puppet? he refuted the idea instinctively. Despite that, when he recalled how he would spoil and protect Tina without any bottom line, he suddenly lost all words to say.

He was aware that she had made many mistakes, but he never thought of lecturing or punishing her. Instead, he would help clean up her mess, no questions asked. Because he saw her crying, he became softhearted and did what he shouldn’t. What was he if not a puppet?

Even though this wasn’t how he was supposed to be, the memories in his mind told him that he had already turned into such a person.

Seeing how he was now sinking into a deep sense of self-doubt, Rose sighed. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. It’s not helpful to you right now. Let’s talk about something else. Why did you have an accident close to Sonia’s place? Were you looking for her?” she asked, stroking his forehead.

Toby’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t answer.

Lowering his gaze to hide the emotions in his eyes, he uttered, “Then, did she…”

Ask about me or come to visit me at the hospital? he finished the sentence in his head.

“What were you saying?” Rose asked, her eyes fixed on him.

Opening his mouth, Toby then decided against finishing his sentence and said instead, “Nothing.”

Sighing, Rose looked at him from the corner of her eye and said, “Forget it, I’m going now. Rest well.”

“Yeah,” he murmured with dismay in his eyes. It seems like Sonia didnt ask about me, let alone visit me. Otherwise, Grandma wouldve told me about it. Sonia knew that I had an accident at Bayside Residence and must have figured out that I was there to look for her. Still, she didnt even come and visit me. Is she really that heartless?
