This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Anyway, there’s no harm in having an extra pair of hands to help out in case of any emergency, right? I

mean, what if Sonia needs someone to head over to the dispensary for her after the surgery? At least

one of us could stay with her while the other collects her medication.”

Charles could come up with no retort, given how sensible the explanation was. As much as he hated

having another person present, he knew it was for Sonia’s best interest, and he decidedly refrained from

arguing any further.

Zane, on the other hand, let out a small breath of relief and thanked the heavens for his brilliant acting

skills, without which he would not be able to hide his feelings for Sonia. Charles was a perceptive man

and he would undoubtedly drag Zane away if he were to find out the truth.

After all, Charles was secretly in love with her as well. He had kept his feelings hidden and she went on

to believe that whatever affection he had for her was strictly platonic.

Ah, what a terrible affliction it is to have so many knights fighting with me over the

same fair maiden, Zane thought tiredly, but his eyes glimmered with hard determination. But I don‘t care

how many men/ have to fight against to win over Sonia‘s heart. I won‘t back down so easily, not when a

love like this rarely happens.

“Okay, we should go in.” Sonia announced to the two childish men in front of her after checking the time

and noting that it was nearly 2:00 PM

The two men nodded their heads in unison. “Let’s go in then.”

With that, the three of them proceeded through the hospital doors.

Meanwhile, in a sleek black car idling by

the nearby pavement, Toby watched darkly as the three figures disappeared through the hospital

entrance. There was an icy look on his face that made one look away out of fear. I can‘t believe you have

two men in your company when it‘s just a surgery, Sonia. Should I congratulate you?

His fists, which were resting on his lap, were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white

Tom presently noted how angry Toby was when he glanced into the rearview mirror and shook his head

in exasperation. I‘d say you deserve this, President Fuller. You had plenty of chances to cherish Miss

Reed back in the day, but you chose to give her the cold shoulder so often that even / couldn‘t bear to

watch it. I hardly think there‘s a point in getting jealous now that you’re separated from her. You should

have loved her while you could, and now some other men are realizing her worth.

However, Tom did not make such remarks to Toby. Instead, Tom turned around to look at Toby as he

asked, “President Fuller, should we go in too?”

Toby did not respond but he immediately opened the door. Then, he stepped out of the car with his

crutch supporting half his weight

Tom raised his brow at the man’s sudden gesture. Guess he‘s entering then.

In the hospital, Tim saw Sonia from the very moment she walked in. It was more of a coincidence than

anything else that he saw the three familiar figures, seeing that he was passing through the lobby after

he

had done his rounds at the ward.

When he was sure that she and her two companions were no longer within earshot, he took out his

phone and dialed Tina’s number.

“Hey, Tim. What’s going on?” Tina asked flatly when she answered the call.

Tim’s gaze flickered over to the direction in which Sonia and the others were headed. Then, as he

adjusted his glasses, he spoke into the line, “Sonia’s at the hospital.”

She had been slicing fruit prior to this news. Upon hearing what he said, she paused and straightened

her posture. Her face brightened with a sinister glee as she quipped, “That’s right. I just remembered that

her surgery is today!”

“It is,” Tim affirmed with a nod.

Because she was so excited, she stood up. “How wonderful. I shall await your good news, Tim.”

He was just about to answer her when he

caught something that made his eyes narrow in surprise.

Tina, on the other hand, became unhappy when she did not receive an immediate response from him. As

he had treated her as his savior all this time, he agreed to whatever she asked of him. He would always

respond to her and this was the first time he fell silent on her.

What is he doing? Is he trying to get on my nerves? With a frown, she demanded scathingly, “What’s

wrong, Tim? Why are you ignoring me all of a sudden?”

She was forced to wear a gentle and compassionate front whenever Toby was around, but such

pretenses were unnecessary when it came to Tim. She didn’t care what Tim thought of her; it wasn’t like

he would expose her true colors

anyway

On the other end of the phone, Tim bristled at the snide tone of her voice and pursed his lips.

Nonetheless, Tina was his guardian angel and with forced patience, he replied, “Nothing, it’s just that

Toby is here too.”

“Toby?” Tina immediately sprang up from the sofa and urged in a shrill voice, “What is he doing at the

hospital?”

“I’m not sure, but he came in a wheelchair, so I guess he’s here to have his dressings changed,” he

proffered as he stared in Toby’s direction.

Upon hearing this, Tina heaved a sigh. However, her relief disappeared as quickly as it came when there

was a sharp difference in Tim’s tone. “No, wait-his assistant has just wheeled him in the direction of the

OB-GYN.”

“What?” She faltered. “He’s headed for the OB-GYN? Does that mean he’s found out about Sonia’s

pregnancy?”

Tim’s eyes narrowed as he pondered on that possibility. “It’s possible. There’s no other explanation as to

why he’s here at this hour and why he’s headed specifically to the OB-GYN.”

“Damn it, when did he find out about it?” Tina’s body trembled as fear and panic seized her. If Toby knows that Sonia is pregnant with his child, is he there to try and persuade her to keep the baby? When he succeeds, will he tell her that the child is his? Would he try to reconcile for the child‘s sake?

Panic rose within her like an icy wave as her thoughts snowballed and the grimace on her face grew

even more menacing. With every passing second, her trembling

increased with force.

She tightly clutched her phone and her voice was close to a vicious snarl as she snapped, “I want you to

personally operate on her right now, Tim! I want her dead before Toby can stop her from entering the

surgical theater, and I want her to die an extremely painful, extremely agonizing death!”

Tim was not pretentious enough to say he wasn’t wicked, but even he couldn’t help being shocked by

Tina’s words.

Can someone as cruel as her really be the angel who saved me that fateful year? The doubt surfaced in

his mind, but it was quelled the next minute when he thought about the distinct red spot which marked

her wrist-the incontrovertible proof that she was indeed his savior.
