Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 979

When Titus' kidneys failed, he thought that it was just pure misfortune that he was struck with the illness and did not

even think that it might have been due to his genetics.

It was really close now that they thought about it; still, they should be able to make it in time.

Rubbing his forehead, Toby replied, 'Okay. Do you have any news on Titus' kidney replacement?' he asked Tim.

Even though Tim was not treating Titus, it was child's play for an executive like him in the hospital to get a hold of a

patient's condition.

Looking at Toby's question, he simply typed on the keyboard a few times before the answer popped up. 'Nope!' he

replied.

The answer did not surprise him too much as Toby's expression maintained. This was because he already had the

answer as he merely wanted Tim's confirmation.

Toby then glanced at the woman who was busy eating. Seeing that she was not paying any attention to him, he

typed, 'You mentioned that this is hereditary to each third generation. Does this mean that after every third

generation, there will be a descendant with this illness?"

If that was the case, then he could relax a little. After all, if Titus had contracted the illness, that meant that Sonia

should be safe.

Yet, Tim, who saw Toby's question, laughed as he rolled his eyes and used the voice message function. "What

makes you think so? There's no set rule for hereditary diseases. If it really were to befall someone every three

generations, that patient's family can relax, but things like this can happen to anyone at any time. Some hereditary

diseases have patients in every generation while some might have it after countless generations. All in all, this isn't

something that can be pre-determined with time."

Converting the voice message into words, Toby felt his heart sink upon seeing Tim's explanation. So, it doesn't

religiously happen every three generations. Titus just happens to be the unlucky one who contracted this genetic

illness after three generations. This means that there is still a high possibility that Sonia might contract it.

Toby clenched his fist and stopped asking.

Yet, it was Tim who became curious and asked, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about the hereditary condition

of the Grays?"

His question made Toby pursed his lips. "Have you forgotten that Little Leaf is Titus' daughter?"

In fact, he did mention this to Tim in the past.

The reply had dilated Tim's pupils as he suddenly became stern. He was originally lying on the chair lazily before

springing up into an upright position; it was obvious how shocking Toby's words were. Right. I already knew that

Titus is Sonia's biological father. I actually did not consider that she might inherit this kidney failure disease... and I

call myself a doctor.

Adjusting his glasses, Tim replied, 'Bring Sonia to the hospital if you have time. I'll do a full-body checkup for her

personally."

His words made Toby's tightly clenched forehead slightly relax as he typed, 'That's what I was thinking too; I'll bring

her in tomorrow. Since she still doesn't know her relationship with Titus, I'll just lie to her and say that I want her to

do a full-body checkup to ensure that she won't just collapse suddenly. Make sure to keep this a secret.'

Tim sneered. 'I don't need you to remind me of that. Okay, let's end the conversation here. I'm going to the

nephrology department to take a look at Titus' medical records, to be on the safe side.'

Replying with a simple 'Okay', Toby kept his cell phone aside, yet he could not seem to settle his nervous heart as he

felt stuffy inside.

His action made Sonia turn to look at him. "Are you done talking with Tom?"

"Yup," he lied without batting an eye.

Since she did not suspect him at all from the start, she naturally could not detect that the man was lying. Hearing

that both men were finished with the conversation, she nodded and did not ask anything else as she only placed

some food onto his plate. "Alright. Since you're finished, it's time to eat. You didn't really touch your food earlier."

The woman's concern made Toby smile and reply gently, "Sure."

After dinner, Sonia went to the toilet again before preparing to return with Toby.

It was about 9.00PM when they finished eating, so she estimated that it would be almost 11.00PM by the time they

arrived home. After a day's work, she was feeling a bit tired.

Standing outside the entrance of the restaurant, Sonia was looking at the busy road while waiting for Toby to pay. A

few minutes had passed before he came out with a slip of paper and a somewhat weird expression. Hmm, he

actually looks a bit dazed. That's new.

Since this was the first time she ever saw such an expression from the man, she thought that something had

transpired, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong, Toby?"

Reaching out, he gave her the colorful paper. "I won the grand prize."

"Wait, what?" Sonia was surprised.

Toby repeated, "I said that I won the grand prize."

The corners of her mouth twitched. "Grand prize?!"

"Yup." He nodded and motioned her to look at the item in her hand.

It was then she lowered her head to look at the paper. After reading it, she discovered that it was a voucher for a

couple's suite!

This...

Sonia was dumbfounded as she looked at the voucher, then at the somewhat baffled man before accepting the

fact.

"You... How did you get it? Where did you get it?" she asked.

Blinking, Toby then regained his usual composure as he stopped looking stunned and coughed lightly. "In the

restaurant. When I was paying, the owner said I could enter in the raffle, so I shook it and—"

"You won the prize?" She raised her eyebrows.

He nodded. "I never thought that I would get it too. I had never won a raffle before, so this is frankly my first time."

So, this is why he looked a little shocked and baffled earlier. For his whole life, he had never won anything before, so

this sudden dawn of luck rendered him unable to respond to the situation.

Gazing at the unconvinced Toby, Sonia smirked, thinking that he looked somewhat adorable. She could understand

his feelings, though. After all, if one was to win something out of the blue after twenty or thirty years of living, they

would experience a torrent of emotions too.

"How does it feel to win a raffle?" She made a fist and pointed it at Toby's chin, pretending as if a microphone was

in her hand.

Toby then looked down and smiled before acting how he usually did in front of the media and replied seriously, "It's

quite nice. It's a feeling that I've never had before."

Finding the situation amusing, Sonia continued her line of question. "Then, President Fuller, can you describe what

this nice feeling is?"

Toby had a doting gaze when looking at the beaming woman. "I can't, but if I really have to, I would say that it's

quite alien and strange."

"Anything else besides that?"

Pretending to be deep in thought, he replied, "And also joy. Of course, if you are to spend the night with me at this

hotel, I would feel even happier."

He then gazed at her upon saying this. With a piercing gaze, he had a charming smile that would make any woman

fall for him.
