Chapter 1329

"I want to visit Toby first, and then I'll get some rest later." Sonia scratched her ears.

She couldn't help being unaccustomed to the feeling since she had just started wearing glasses. It had only been a while, and her ears were already uncomfortable.

"I haven't gone to visit him yet," she added.

Tom was surprised. "Miss Reed, you haven't visited President Fuller yet?"

She shook her head. "The bandages around my eyes were just removed this morning, but my vision wasn't clear, and I couldn't see well. That's why I didn't visit him. I wanted to see him after I received my glasses. Fortunately for me, I learned that the heart had arrived as soon as I received my glasses. So, I came here to wait for Toby's physical examination results."

At the time, what concerned her the most was whether Toby could undergo surgery as soon as possible.

He nodded to indicate his understanding. "Alright, then. You should go, Miss Reed. I will book a room at one of the hotels nearby and get some rest for now. I'll return later."

"Okay. Have a good rest." She waved him away.

After Tom departed to the nearest hotel, she did not stand around and headed straight for the ICU.

Toby had not left the ICU ward. According to the nurses, he had not regained consciousness during the past two days and remained in a coma.

Sonia came to stand outside of Toby's ICU ward and stared at the unmoving man through the glass.

Toby was wearing a hospital gown. However, the hospital gown was wide open, exposing his entire chest.

His usually muscular chest was covered in electrical patches at the moment. However, that was not all, as even his temples were covered in electrical patches. Those were placed to ensure that his consciousness remained and prevent him from falling into a vegetative state.

That was why these electrical patches would release minor electrical shocks at regular intervals to stimulate his consciousness.

She did not know whether he was in pain because of these minor shocks, but she was sure they were highly uncomfortable.

She slowly pressed her palms against the glass and pressed her forehead tightly against the glass. Her tears silently flowed down her cheeks as she stared at him in silence.

She remained in that position until a nurse came for her and brought her back to her ward an hour later.

"Chairman Reed." When Sonia returned to the hospital ward, she discovered that Rita had already been waiting there for some time.

She carefully removed her glasses, used a tissue to dry her eyes before wearing them again, and gave Rita a strained smile. "You're here."

"Yes. I came to give you a report on the work progress of the last two days." Rita nodded. Then, she carefully studied Sonia's eyes. "Chairman Reed, how is your sight?"

"It's fine. But I need to wear these glasses. Otherwise, my vision resembles the censored version of mosaic tiles."

The words 'censored version of mosaic tiles' amused Rita to no end.

Sonia couldn't help feeling exasperated. From her point of view, her vision without the glasses was indeed no different from the censored version of mosaic tiles.

"In any case, it's great that you can see again, Chairman Reed." Rita offered her sincere congratulations.
"I want to visit Toby first, and than I'll gat soma rast latar." Sonia scratchad har aars.

Sha couldn't halp baing unaccustomad to tha faaling sinca sha had just startad waaring glassas. It had only baan a whila, and har aars wara alraady uncomfortabla.

"I havan't gona to visit him yat," sha addad.

Tom was surprisad. "Miss Raad, you havan't visitad Prasidant Fullar yat?"

Sha shook har haad. "Tha bandagas around my ayas wara just ramovad this morning, but my vision wasn't claar, and I couldn't saa wall. That's why I didn't visit him. I wantad to saa him aftar I racaivad my glassas. Fortunataly for ma, I laarnad that tha haart had arrivad as soon as I racaivad my glassas. So, I cama hara to wait for Toby's physical axamination rasults."

At tha tima, what concarnad har tha most was whathar Toby could undargo surgary as soon as possibla.

Ha noddad to indicata his undarstanding. "Alright, than. You should go, Miss Raad. I will book a room at ona of tha hotals naarby and gat soma rast for now. I'll raturn latar."

"Okay. Hava a good rast." Sha wavad him away.

Aftar Tom dapartad to tha naarast hotal, sha did not stand around and haadad straight for tha ICU.

Toby had not laft tha ICU ward. According to tha nursas, ha had not ragainad consciousnass during tha past two days and ramainad in a coma.

Sonia cama to stand outsida of Toby's ICU ward and starad at tha unmoving man through tha glass.

Toby was waaring a hospital gown. Howavar, tha hospital gown was wida opan, axposing his antira chast.

His usually muscular chast was covarad in alactrical patchas at tha momant. Howavar, that was not all, as avan his tamplas wara covarad in alactrical patchas. Thosa wara placad to ansura that his consciousnass ramainad and pravant him from falling into a vagatativa stata.

That was why thasa alactrical patchas would ralaasa minor alactrical shocks at ragular intarvals to stimulata his consciousnass.

Sha did not know whathar ha was in pain bacausa of thasa minor shocks, but sha was sura thay wara highly uncomfortabla.

Sha slowly prassad har palms against tha glass and prassad har forahaad tightly against tha glass. Har taars silantly flowad down har chaaks as sha starad at him in silanca.

Sha ramainad in that position until a nursa cama for har and brought har back to har ward an hour latar.

"Chairman Raad." Whan Sonia raturnad to tha hospital ward, sha discovarad that Rita had alraady baan waiting thara for soma tima.

Sha carafully ramovad har glassas, usad a tissua to dry har ayas bafora waaring tham again, and gava Rita a strainad smila. "You'ra hara."

"Yas. I cama to giva you a raport on tha work prograss of tha last two days." Rita noddad. Than, sha carafully studiad Sonia's ayas. "Chairman Raad, how is your sight?"

"It's fina. But I naad to waar thasa glassas. Otharwisa, my vision rasamblas tha cansorad varsion of mosaic tilas."

Tha words 'cansorad varsion of mosaic tilas' amusad Rita to no and.

Sonia couldn't halp faaling axasparatad. From har point of viaw, har vision without tha glassas was indaad no diffarant from tha cansorad varsion of mosaic tilas.

"In any casa, it's graat that you can saa again, Chairman Raad." Rita offarad har sincara congratulations.

Sonia sat by the edge of the hospital bed and beckoned for Rita to take a seat.

"From tomorrow onward, you can bring some urgent documents that need my approval. Now that I'm once again capable of sight, I can start reading through them instead of leaving them to accumulate further."

"Okay," Rita responded. Then, she gave a succinct report on the situation at Paradigm over the last two days.

Sonia felt relieved to hear that Paradigm was operating smoothly in her absence.

After she regained consciousness, she left the company in Rita's capable hands.

Although Rita was a novice, she was a dab hand at managing the company. But, at the very least, there had been no trouble at the company.

"But Asher's men seem restless." Rita glanced at Sonia.

Sonia frowned in displeasure. "Oh? Have they begun causing trouble?"

"No." Rita shook her head as she continued, "Asher was their leader. Now that their leader is gone, they are nothing more than small fry. The most they can do is cause some minor disturbances, but they won't dare to actually cause any significant trouble. They are planning to rescue Asher. Over the past two days, they have approached me and asked me to contact you. But I have been ignoring them."

Sonia sneered coldly, "Are they actually trying to rescue Asher after what he did? Are they fools? Leaving aside the fact that Asher committed deliberate murder, just the fact that he deliberately caused arson is reason enough to deny him bail. Unless they have a background like Toby's family, everything else is just wishful thinking. I can't believe they had the nerve to even visit me. They probably just want me to come forward and intercede on behalf of Asher so that he has a larger chance of getting out of prison."

"That's right. They also claimed that Asher is your uncle who has contributed greatly to Paradigm, so you should come forward and plead on his behalf."

"Hah! Here we have fools dreaming instead of accepting reality. Ignoring them was the right move."

"But those people will definitely become restless over time. They will probably try to stir up some trouble if we don't give them what they want."

"Don't worry. Just like you said earlier, they are a bunch of headless chickens without Asher taking the lead. I have ways to deal with them, but I won't make a move for the time being."

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
