Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1381

"As it should." Toby did not hide his happiness and admitted it graciously. "Not a single man can accept their wife placing such importance on a ring gifted by another man."

"Now that I've removed the ring, it won't be an eyesore anymore, right?" Sonia shot him a withering look.

He responded with a gracious smile. "Yep! All good!"

"Hmph." She snorted petulantly and uncovered the blanket to get out of bed. Subsequently, she placed the ring into her bag and planned to buy a box to store it on her way to work later. The final step would be to keep the item in her safe.

As for Toby, he sat up in bed, no longer intending to sleep. His recovery progress was great, and he could now prop himself up without constant help.

With the strength of his elbows, he could easily support himself, albeit tiring. Still, he was happy enough to do things for himself and not become a burden to Sonia.

"You must be hungry." She returned to his bedside after putting away the ring.

He nodded slightly in response. "Kinda."

"I'll wheel you over to freshen up, then I'll order breakfast for us." She pushed his wheelchair over, after which he agreed and got out of bed himself to be seated.

Throughout the process, Sonia did not offer help. That was because she knew he did not want any, which aligned with his usual behavior. All in all, Toby wanted to pertain his dignity to not become a 'useless' individual.

Since he could manage fine by himself, she did not insist but gave him the freedom to proceed.

Breakfast was delivered to them shortly, and it arrived right after they freshened up. The food was as bland as things could get. It was an unfavorable situation, but there was a lot of food that the couple had to refrain from eating. Therefore, they had no choice but to tolerate the bland meals for now. Surely, things would improve soon.

After breakfast, Sonia bid farewell to Toby and left for work.

Along the way, she drove past a shopping mall and entered a jewelry shop to buy an exquisite ring box. Subsequently, she went back into the car and took out the wrapped-up ring from her bag before placing it carefully into the box.

From now on, she would only take this ring out of the box when she missed Carl. She did not wish to see the ring at any other moment because she refused to experience sadness when reminded of his demise.

…

In a blink of an eye, a month went by swiftly. Toby's recovery progress over the month had been astounding to Sonia, who was fairly pleased by it.

Currently, he was no longer required to be hospitalized and was allowed to return to work at Fuller Group. Although he had to stay at the hospital at night, he was allowed to go out in the morning to sort out his matters.

Other than that, he no longer needed a wheelchair to get around and could stride normally. As long as he did not attempt to run or jump, there was no risk of his heart mispositioning itself.

At least on the surface now, he was a 'normal' functioning man who had nearly recovered.

Contrary to his great recovery, Sonia was in a bad state. She was not in the most suitable health condition to carry a child at the moment, but that was the reality. She had no choice but to endure

the hardships and nurture the baby healthily.

Disregarding the fact that the baby was a product of her and Toby's love, she knew she had to keep the baby because the option of abortion would hinder her plans to become a mother again.

The consequence of keeping this baby was that she would go through way more discomfort than any other normal expectant mother because she fell pregnant before fully recovering. As such, in comparison to the other mothers, she would end up suffering more.

For example, she was less than eight weeks into her pregnancy, yet she was already experiencing morning sickness. Her face was as pale as a sheet from throwing up every day, and her body ached severely.

Most expectant mothers would generally experience morning sickness at about eight weeks of pregnancy onward, but she experienced that at an earlier stage. On top of that, she had to ingest a lot of medications and receive injections just to ensure a smooth pregnancy.

It was to the point where she trembled upon seeing those items, but despite her apprehensions, she endured them fearlessly. Otherwise, there was a high chance that she would miscarry.

As such, Sonia lost a lot of weight over the past month and had a wan complexion, which pained Toby to see.

Today, it was time for her obstetrician appointment once again.

Toby and Tim waited outside the room as Sonia remained inside for the check-up.

As they waited, Toby's brows tightly furrowed as he clenched his fists tightly. Had he not been restricted to enter with her, he would have rushed into the room out of his immense worry for her. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He could still vividly remember her pale and gaunt face when she entered the room.

At that moment, Tim noticed his state and shifted his glasses before saying coldly, "Right now, you appear to be worried, but what were you thinking of back then?"

"What do you mean?" Toby narrowed his eyes and turned around.

Tim had both hands in his pockets. "I mean, you got her pregnant. You wouldn't be worrying now if you had used protection in the first place."

In response, Toby pursed his lips. "You mentioned before that she would have issues conceiving within these two years and that it would be pretty much impossible. That's why."

Otherwise, there was no way on earth he would choose to impregnate her during that period. He found it difficult to imagine how much torment she would have to endure for the next eight months. After all, the pain was already agonizing enough in the first eight weeks.

"I did say that, but there are always miracles in this world." Tim shrugged.

Toby stared at him coldly. "Yes, there are miracles, but not everyone gets to experience one."

Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected they would be so lucky to experience a huge miracle.

Even Tim was rendered speechless at that point. Yes, miracles can be so hard to predict. Some pray fervently for a miracle to happen but never experience anything. Meanwhile, Toby and Sonia didn't want a miracle, but they somehow got to experience it. What can anyone do about this?

"Is it truly unadvisable to abort this child?" Suddenly, Toby asked Tim.

Stunned, Tim replied, "What do you mean by that? Do you want her to?"

"If the existence of this baby continues to cause her so much suffering and agony, I don't mind giving them up. I'd rather wait for her to be in perfect health condition before we plan for a child than to see her in so much pain," Toby said with a somber expression.

Tim shrugged. "Unfortunately, you don't get a choice. You must keep this child. I told you before that if you choose to terminate the pregnancy, judging by her current health status, she would not be able to conceive for the rest of her life. That's why, even if this child would cause her torture, she has no choice but to keep this child. An exception would be if she can accept being childless for the rest of her life, but do you think that's possible?"

Of course not! Toby lowered his eyes and knew the answer well.

Even today, he knew she harbored guilt deep inside toward the child she miscarried in the past, so there was no way she would give up again.

"Look, you can't come up with the words to say because you know the outcome as well. You guys must keep this baby." Tim tucked his hands back into the pockets of his white coat.

At that moment, Toby shut his eyes. "Is there any way of preventing her suffering?"

"No," Tim replied directly without considering the question. "Though there is a strong advancement in the medical world, there are some things that can't be achieved. She has no choice but to suffer through pregnancy to keep this child. Don't worry, though, we will try our best to alleviate her pain. As I've said, she'll need more bed rest in the future for her condition. However, I didn't expect her morning sickness to be so severe even at just barely eight weeks. It looks like she will have to be put on bed rest from now on. Otherwise, if her condition worsens, there is a high chance of miscarriage even if we do everything in our power to stabilize her pregnancy."
