Chapter 1465 It's Better to Tell Her
This isn't entirely impossible. After all, President Gray and his wife love Young Mistress Sonia so much that it's very likely for them to deal with all her previous enemies in order to make it up to her, thought Mary.
Much to her surprise, however, Titus replied, "I had no idea what was going on with that lady. She suddenly came to my ward and eavesdropped on my conversation with Julia outside the door. After we caught her doing so, she even tried to run away. Then, she shoved Julia when the latter grabbed hold of her." Although he didn't reveal the specific details, he described the incident truthfully without any embellishments
"She eavesdropped on you two?" Mary was stunned. "Why would she do that?”
"I don't know." Titus shook his head. "We asked her about it, but she said nothing and fled after shoving Julia to the ground. Because of that. Julia's still lying unconscious in the hospital with a lumbar fracture right now and probably won't be able to walk properly for at least a couple of months!" At the mention of this, his face became even more contorted with rage. How he wished he could catch that lady and wreak brutal vengeance on her!
Mary let out a gasp of shock. "What? A lumbar fracture? That's got to be terrible!" Even she, an old woman, knew very well how important the lumbar spine was to the human body. The lumbar spine was arguably essential for a human being to walk upright: someone with an injured lumbar spine wouldn't be able to stand up even if their legs were fine, so it was obvious in Julia's case how severe her injury was. Furthermore, Julia wasn't young anymore. At over 50 years old, she was no longer as fit as she used to be when she was younger. Now that she had injured her lumbar spine, she wouldn't recover as quickly as younger people would. "President Gray, is Mrs. Gray hurt anywhere else apart from her lumbar fracture?" she asked. After all, Julia was Sonia's biological mother, so it would be better to ask about it.
Titus shook his head. "No, that’s it." That alone was enough to stir up all his anger, though. Mary let out a sigh. "I got it. No wonder she didn't come today."
"Mary, please don't tell Sonny about this," Titus pleaded suddenly. "We don't want her to get worried." On the surface, Sonia appeared to be still hating them and unwilling to resume her relationship with them, but in reality, he and Julia both knew that she did care about them. There was no way she would not feel anything whatsoever if she were to learn about Julia's injury.
However, she objected, "President Gray. I know what you're thinking, but I think it's better not to hide this from Young Mistress Sonia. After all, you two are her own parents, so she has the right to know about this. And besides, Anya holds some grudges against Young Mistress Sonia, so it'll actually do more harm than good to keep this from her. If she learns about this by chance afterward, she'll only feel even worse. After all, she'll only feel left out if everyone hides this from her instead of letting her know about this.”
Titus opened his mouth to speak, but he was unable to refute her. In the end, he replied with a sigh, "Well, then, you may tell her about this, but don't make it sound too serious." In any case, it's better to keep that girl as less worried as possible.
"Okay." Mary replied as she promised him. Then, she asked, “Has Anya been arrested yet?"
"No, not yet." He shook his head. "The police said she's involved in a major case and thus can't be arrested for the time being. Arresting her now will easily ruin the opportunity, so she's still under surveillance." Despite his great dissatisfaction with such a reply, he had no choice but to put up with it at the thought that the case Anya was involved in had something to do with Toby. It couldn't be helped, since Toby was his son-in-law. Even if he didn't want to take Toby into consideration, he had to think about Sonia.
After the phone conversation ended, Mary came out of the kitchen with the phone in hand.
Sonia took off her glasses, upon which her vision blurred instantly. As she wasn't able to see clearly, all she could make out was a figure coming her way. "Madam Mary?" she called out somewhat uncertainly.
Mary replied, "It's me, Young Mistress Sonia. Are you going to stop reading for now?"
“Uh-huh, I'm gonna take a break. My eyes are tired after a long time of wearing glasses," Sonia explained with a smile while putting her glasses aside.
Mary came over and took the book from her. "You should get some rest indeed.”
Leaning back against the headboard, Sonia asked curiously, "By the way, Madam Mary, who were you speaking to over the phone in the kitchen just now? I heard you talking.” She had vaguely heard Mary mention the word 'Gray' just now. Could she have called to ask about it because Mrs. Gray isn't coming over?
Smart as Mary was, she knew what was on Sonia's mind, of course. Moreover, Sonia didn't hide it either; her thoughts were written all over her face. Hence, she smiled and sat by Sonia's bedside, saying. “Young Mistress Sonia, I just spoke to Titus over the phone. Actually, you've guessed it already, no?"
Sonia's pupils shrank for a moment, but she regained her composure soon afterward. She asked, "But didn’t I tell you before that you don't have to call to ask about it?"
"I know that, but I could tell that you don't actually feel that way. In reality, you care very much about Mrs. Gray not coming over, and you're eager to know the reason for that, no? That's why I made the phone call." Mary took her hand and gently patted the back of it. “Actually, Young Mistress Sonia, Mrs. Gray does have her reasons for not coming over. She's injured.” she explained.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?" Sonia's expression changed, and she tensed all over. "You mean... she's hurt?" "That's right." Mary nodded.
"How did that happen?” Sonia looked visibly anxious; a look of worry appeared on her face without her realizing it.
ary noticed that, though. Knowing that she had done the right thing by making the phone call, she replied with a sigh,” “She injured her lumbar spine whens someone shoved her to> the ground, so she has to stay inbed right tow and can't be up and about for. atleast a couple of months." astead of playing down theincident as she had promised Titus, she thought it unnecessary to hide part of the story now that they had chosen to tell Sonia about it. It's better to just tell her everything, she thought.
Sonia's heart began racing when she heard that Julia had been pushed over and had to stay in bed for a couple of months as a result. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she asked, "How did that happen? Who pushed her over? Did the culprit get arrested?" The three questions fired in rapid succession revealed just how much she worried about Julia at this very moment.
Mary answered, ‘The culprit ran away without-getting arrested. Titus reported the scident to the police, but they said there was something» special about the culprit, whom they’ deen watching all this time. Nowssr t the time to arrest her yet, so-they told Titus to put upswith it for aPhoment, saying that they'll arrest her later. You know that person as well, Young Mistress Sonia. She's none other than Anya Steinfeld."
"It's her!" Sonia was taken aback. "How could she do that?”
"Who knows? Titus said she'd suddenly shown up outside his ward and eavesdropped on his conversation with Mrs. Gray. After they caught her doing so, she shaved Mrs. Gray to the ground and fled."
“Eavesdropping, huh...” Sonia's eyes narrowed. "What did she overhear?"
‘I don't know. Titus didn't let me know about it, nor did I ask him about it." ary Shook her head. "That being said, itWvas strange for her to come to Titus’ ward and eavesdrop. on him and Mrs. Gray for no reason. When Hirst heard that she had pushed rs. Gray over, I thought Titus and Mrs. Gray had herbrought there because they wanted to avenge you. After all, she’s bullied you before. But then, I heard from Titus that they'd never looked for her at all. Instead, she came to their ward on her own and eavesdropped on them. Say, don’t you find this strange?"
"Not at all." Sonia shook her head with a sneer. "Because Anya is, in fact, Tina Gray.”
"What?" Mary turned pale with shock while jumping to her feet at once. "What did you say, Young Mistress Sonia? You mean Anya Steinfeld is actually Tina Gray?"
