This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1441 Eye Surgery

Sonia instantly flushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. Goodness, I can't believe my stomach grumbled

because of Mrs. Gray's broth!

Didn't that mean she really wanted to have the broth Julia gave her?

Mary could sense her awkwardness and chuckled, "You don't have to be embarrassed, Young Mistress Sonia. This

broth smells delicious, and I can't stop wanting to try it."

Raising her head, Sonia offered, "Have some too, Mary."

"Don't worry about me. This broth is good for pregnant women. Why would you offer it to an old lady like me?"

Mary shook her head and declined. Then, she passed a bowl of broth to Sonia.

Sonia took the bowl, and when she saw the delicious broth, her stomach grumbled loudly again while saliva pooled

in her mouth. It was apparent that her body was reacting well to the broth.

"Go on and have a taste, Young Mistress Sonia," Mary urged upon seeing Sonia holding the bowl without drinking it.

"I scooped the bottom of the broth to see what was in it, and the ingredients were indeed nourishing. Besides

warming your body, it won't do any harm, so don't worry about it and give it a try."

Sonia hummed in response and scooped a spoonful before shoving it into her mouth. The pungent aroma of the

broth immediately made her eyes squint slightly.

Watching her reaction, Mary inquired, "How does it taste?" Considering how quickly she gulped it down, I'd say the

broth is delicious.

Opening her eyes, Sonia scooped another spoonful and nodded. "Not bad. It's edible." It's even more delectable

than the meal Julia prepared the night before. I could tell that she boiled the broth with sincerity.

Mary could tell that Sonia was saying it on purpose and couldn't help but shake her head at the hilarity of it.

However, she felt relieved seeing Sonia enjoy the broth without ill effects. She planned to call Julia soon to inquire

about the broth's ingredients and preparation, so she could boil it for Sonia.

While she had that thought in mind, the door to the ward opened. Tim came in in a white robe. Smelling the

pungent aroma of the broth, he raised his brow and inquired, "What are you eating?"

"You're here." Sonia placed her spoon down and looked in his direction.

"Dr. Lancaster, Mrs. Gray dropped by and brought some broth. Young Mistress Sonia is having it now," Mary replied.

Hearing that, Tim knitted his brows. "You're pretty bold to have what she gave you. Aren't you afraid that it might

be drugged?"

As soon as he said that, Mary and Sonia were taken aback.

"I guess not? Mrs. Gray is really kind to Young Mistress Sonia. I don't think she'll hurt her intentionally," Mary

muttered.

At that moment, Sonia clutched the bowl in her hands tightly.

Walking over, Tim added, "Why not? Even though she's your biological mother, you know a lot is happening

between you two. I think you should be wary anyhow."

Mary thought he was right, and she couldn't help regretting her decision to bring the broth to Sonia. He's right.

What if something happens to her? Hence, she quickly asked, "Do you feel any discomfort, Young Mistress Sonia?"

Sonia shook her head in response. "Not at all. I actually feel warm in my stomach. It feels good." It's true. My belly

has always felt a little saggy since I was pregnant. Even though it didn't hurt, it made me uncomfortable. When I

drank the broth, I noticed a marked improvement in the discomfort in my stomach. It has been replaced by a

pleasantly warm sensation, which has helped me to relax.

Mary could finally heave a sigh of relief upon hearing Sonia's answer. "That's great! Still, I reckon that you should

stop drinking for now. Let Dr. Lancaster check the ingredients first."

Then, Tim raised his chin in response. "Sure, but before that, I must check on your eyes. The cornea has arrived.

Let's decide when you should get the surgery."

"The cornea is finally here!" Mary exclaimed in excitement. "What great news! Did you hear that, Young Mistress

Sonia? The arrival of the cornea means you can get the operation done! You can also ditch your glasses soon."

Hearing that, Sonia also looked at Tim in excitement. Mary's right! Who would want to wear glasses when they can

see with their own eyes? They're so heavy and inconvenient. "How is it my turn already?" While delighted, she

couldn't help but ask, "I remember that a dozen patients before me were waiting for a cornea transplant, too,

right?"

"Some of them transferred to another hospital, while some gave up on it. That's why your turn quickly came. Don't

worry. You didn't cut the queue," he reassured her.

Sonia knew he wouldn't lie to her about something as serious as that. Hence, she nodded without asking further

questions, and she was genuinely excited.

"You may check on her eyes, then, Dr. Lancaster." Mary took the bowl from Sonia's hand so he could check her

eyes.

Tim hummed and fished out a torchlight from his pocket while walking over to the bed to check on Sonia's eyes.

After the examination, he opened her medical record folder and started jotting down points while asking her some

questions.

Once Sonia had answered all his questions, he nodded. "Okay. I understand your overall situation now. Your eye is in

good condition, so we can proceed with the surgery. Let's arrange it for tomorrow at noon. I'll be free during that

time." Closing the folder with a slap, he explained to her.

Sonia replied curtly in agreement. "Sure. Let's get the surgery done tomorrow, but will the surgery cause any harm

to my child?" After all, she had always been wary about not getting sick because she worried that the medication

that she might take would affect the child. She was even more worried that if her sickness was severe, she would

have no choice but to abort the child. Hence, she was now concerned whether surgery would cause harm to the

child in her belly.

On the other hand, Mary looked at Tim anxiously upon hearing Sonia's question.

Then, he pushed his glasses upward. "Don't worry. It's only eye surgery, not anything serious. You don't have to take

any medication either after the surgery. You only have to inject a local anesthetic during the surgery, which won't

affect the baby."

After hearing that, Sonia and Mary breathed sighs of relief.

"Thank goodness." Mary patted her chest in comfort.

After that, Tim headed to the lab with the thermal flask in his hand. Mary tagged along to obtain the results as soon

as possible. The test didn't take long, and he was out of the lab in no time.

She clasped her hands tightly and hurriedly questioned, "How did it go, Dr. Lancaster? Is the broth safe to drink?"

He handed the flask back to her and replied, "Yes. It really is a nutritious broth that benefits pregnant women. Sonia

can rest assured of drinking it. I misunderstood Julia."

She was relieved to hear that. Smiling while taking the flask, she said, "Mrs. Gray doesn't seem like she would harm

Young Mistress Sonia."

"Even so, you must still be wary. The Grays might not hurt Sonia, but Toby has many enemies. It's hard to predict

whether those enemies will use Titus and his wife to hurt Sonia and Toby. From now on, everything that is given by

Mrs. Gray should be brought to the lab for testing. I will let the other staff in the lab know so that they will also assist

you whenever I'm not in," Tim advised.

Mary nodded and thought he sounded reasonable. "You're right, Dr. Lancaster. We should've done so in the

beginning. Next time, I will bring everything over here for testing before giving them to Young Mistress Sonia. I'll be

taking my leave now, then."

"Sure," he hummed.

Carrying the thermal flask, Mary went up to the ward. She also gave Julia a call on the way. However, she didn't

have her number, but Julia attached a note with her number on it when she passed the flask to her earlier. Mary's

initial reaction was to throw it away, but after pondering about it, she decided to keep it. She was glad she could

use it to contact Julia now.
