Chapter 454 A Call From Leonard

Toby gazed at her steadily as he answered, “I’m feeling okay.”

Even though he meant to reassure her, Sonia was regardlessly worried. “Are you sure? Do you feel lightheaded? And your arm—”

“I’m fine, really. Stop worrying,” he interrupted as he insisted that he was alright.

She parted her lips, but she wasn’t sure what else to say.

At that moment, he asked, “How about you? Tom told me that you collapsed after you carried me down the mountain. Were you hurt?”

“I’m alright now.” She shook her head.

As she had only sprained her back, she would recover soon enough, but the same couldn’t be said for him. The injuries to his head and back aside, his arm would take at least half a year to be fully recovered. All in all, he was in far worse shape than her.

“That’s a relief,” he noted after he was sure that she was telling the truth. With a nod, he went on to say, “Thank you for carrying me out of the cave and down the mountain. If you hadn’t, then I might have turned delirious from the fever.”

Sonia met his gaze solemnly and pointed out, “I should be the one thanking you instead. If you hadn’t stepped in, Carl and I might not even be alive right now. I owe you one for this, not the other way round.” Then, she abruptly changed the subject by asking, “By the way, what are you craving for?”

“Craving?” Toby raised a brow.

“That’s right. You only landed in this sorry state because of me, so it’s only right for me to stay and take care of you until you’re back in good health. You can let me know everything that you’re craving for and I’ll whip them up in the kitchen for you as a token of my gratitude,” she declared.

However, he shook his head in rejection. “No, you don’t have to take care of me. I have a caretaker.”
