Chapter 299 

In the clinic, the doctor was treating the burns on the back of Tobys hand

With a stiffened expression on the face, Sonia watched from the side with her hands balled up into fists. Doctor, will this leave any longterm side effects?” 

She heard that there are many nerves on the hand, so she feared that if this affected the nerves in his hand, he wouldnt be able to carry out basic tasks in the future

If that were the case, she wouldn‘t be able to compensate him because he had suffered those injuries for her sake

Toby noticed the frown on Sonias face coupled with the anxiety in her eyes, so he said softly, Dont worry, my hand will be fine.” 

Sonia knew that he was saying this to make her feel better, so she disregarded him. She simply stared at the doctor expectantly, waiting for his answer

The doctor discarded the bloodied cotton swab, then replied, His hand should be fine. The area of contact with sulfuric acid wasn‘t very large, so it only eroded the 

 

surface. You just have to wait until the skin grows back, and itll be fine. Some scars might remain, however.” 

Hearing the doctors words, Sonia finally relaxed. Thats good to hear.” 

Tobys expression grew gentle. See, didn‘t I say so?” 

Sonia rolled her eyes at him

Just then, her phone rang, so she took it out to see that it was a call from Charles. She didnt even hesitate as she walked out of the clinic with her phone

Toby managed to catch a glimpse of the incoming call notification on Sonias phone, and seeing how she excused herself to answer the call, he couldnt help but feel upset about it. His emotions showed in his downcast expression, and he clenched his hand on the table

The doctor pushed his glasses awkwardly at the sight. Um, sir, please relax your hand. Its difficult for me to apply ointment when youre clenching it so tightly like that.” 

Tobys eyebrows scrunched up, but in the end, he did as he was told and released the fist

Still, his gaze was indefinitely locked on the door leading to the clinic

Outside the clinic, Sonia answered the call and put her phone to her ear. Charles.”
