Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1424 Zane Is Here

After dwelling on it for a while, Titus finally agreed to Julia's words and gave Taylor three hundred thousand. As for the rest, except the part given to Julia, he changed the ownership of all his properties, including Triforce Enterprise, to Sonia.

The authorities were still investigating the incident that happened in the mine cave that year. He knew that the moment the cat was out of the bag, Triforce Enterprise would face the greatest blow and two-thirds of the company property might be lost.

However, if the remaining one-third of the company was integrated into Paradigm Co., it would bring gigantic help to Paradigm Co. and might even help Paradigm to be listed again. As Sonia's father, it was the only thing that he could give her.

Titus hung up the call after he revised his will with the help of the lawyer on the other end of the phone. After that, he called Toby.

Toby was on his way back to the hospital. When his phone rang, he found that it was a call from Titus, but he was not surprised at all and immediately picked up the call. "Seems like you've made up your mind, President Gray."

"Yes, I have. I want the best for my daughter, but I want to see her before that," Titus requested.

Julia also clenched her fists nervously. After all, Sonia was their daughter. Of course, they wanted to see her.

Even Toby felt that Titus' request was reasonable. After a pause, he replied, "I came to see you guys without her knowledge today. So, I've got to tell her the truth if you want to see her. However, it's up to her whether she wants to meet you guys or not."

"Okay, just tell her." Titus nodded.

Toby hummed in assent before hanging up the call.

Tom, who was driving, asked, "President Fuller, did Titus come around? Will he go through with it?"

Toby massaged his temple briefly. "Yes, he will. His love for Sonia is real."

"I didn't expect he would accept the fact that Miss Reed is his daughter so soon. I thought that there was still hatred and misunderstanding between them. As much as Titus yearns for a daughter, he wouldn't have accepted Miss Reed so soon. Surprisingly, I underestimated him," Tom elaborated while driving.

On the other hand, Toby opened his thin lips and responded lightly, "It's very simple. It's because he wasn't supposed to have a child at all. It's a miracle that he got Little Leaf as his daughter, so he'll adore this daughter of his vehemently. Even if a grudge exists between them, he won't mind, because all he's concerned about is having a daughter."

If I were in his shoes, I might have done the same thing. After all, it's natural for a father to love his child. Although his child holds a grudge against him, it's all because of what the parents had done. So, the child can't be blamed.

"Well, Miss Reed is rather lucky." Tom sighed. "She bumped into two sets of parents who treated her well. It's just that we're all at the mercy of fate."

Toby was noncommittal. Yeah, we're all but fools at the hands of destiny.

"President Fuller, do you think she will agree to meet them?" Tom raised another question.

He looked out of the window. "Umm… I don't know. It depends on her, but I'll support her regardless of her decision."

After that, they fell into silence, and no one spoke. Toby leaned against the seat and gently closed his eyes to rest for a while.

When Tom saw that from the rearview mirror, he turned on the car's active noise cancellation to let him have a better rest.

They soon arrived at the hospital.

Toby opened his eyes without waiting for Tom to wake him up. It was clear that he was not asleep. After he alighted from the car, he entered the hospital and headed toward the ward. However, he heard Sonia talking to a man when he reached the door. Upon listening closely, he realized it was Zane's voice.

Consequently, his face swiftly became dull as he entered the ward. "Why are you here?"

Zane sat beside the bed while munching an apple. When he heard Toby's interrogation, he immediately turned around and waved at Toby happily. "Hey, you're back." He behaved as if he was the master of that ward.

Therefore, Toby's expression turned more hideous as he repeated his question. "I asked you why you're here."

Zane quickly finished munching the apple and threw the core into the trash can before he answered, "Of course, I came to see Sonia. If not, what else could I be here for?"

Sonia covered her mouth and chuckled.

Toby walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. After that, he pulled her into his arms as if he was claiming his ownership over her. "How did you know we're here? If I'm not mistaken, I didn't announce it or tell others that we're here, did I?"

"Yes, you kept it a secret, but I could make calls." Zane smiled at Sonia. "I called Sonia after I came home from the investigation trip to eat with her. However, she told me that she went abroad with you, so it was postponed. Now that you guys are back, surely we've got to meet up, so I called her again. Then, she told me that she can't go anywhere because she's been hospitalized. That's why I came."

Toby looked at Sonia. "Why didn't you tell me he's here?"

"He's not a stranger but your friend, so I didn't tell you." She smiled at him.

He snorted and said disdainfully to Zane, "All right, you can leave now that you've met her."

Zane's lips twitched slightly. "Oh, please. I just got here, and it hasn't even been ten minutes. Why are you driving me away already?"

"It's long enough, and you're disturbing our rest. Okay, leave." While talking, Toby stood up and yanked Zane from the chair before he pushed him out of the ward. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Although Zane was left with no other option but to leave, he turned around and said to Sonia, "Okay, I'll go now, but I'll come and visit you again."

"Okay, goodbye." She waved goodbye at him.

Toby's face became even darker when he saw that. At last, he pushed Zane out of the ward.

Consequently, Zane nearly slammed into the opposite wall. He turned around and gave him the finger. "Toby, you're not playing by the rules."

"You're one to talk. What's the big deal, coming to see my wife without my permission?" Toby demanded coldly.

Pursing his lips, Zane replied, "It's not like I'm gonna do anything to her."

"Well, glad we're on the same page. I didn't do anything to you either. I merely drove you out." Toby stood at the door with his tall and sturdy figure, as if he was a guardian.

Zane rolled his eyes. "Fine, I can't outspeak you." He smoothed his clothes before putting on a serious look. "Toby, I came here to visit Sonia and see you about something. Is Taylor with you?"

Toby narrowed his eyes. "Why are you asking me this? Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course." Zane looked at him. "You'd better not have forgotten. While it's true that Sonia and I plotted against her, I was the one who found her first. Now that she suddenly went missing and the police aren't taking any action, I'm guessing you're the only one who can stop the police other than officials like me. What exactly do you want?" He wasn't that worried about Taylor, but he was scared that Toby might act recklessly and get into trouble.

Toby pursed his thin lips into a straight line. "I won't keep it a secret from you since you asked about it. Taylor made a big mistake and nearly killed Sonia and the child. So, don't you think I should catch her?"
