Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1388

"Dr. Lancaster, you're here." Sonia put down the fork in her hand and greeted Tim with a smile.

He hummed as a hint of surprise flashed in his spectacles-shield eyes when he saw her new hair. "When did you cut your hair?"

She still had long hair when I saw her this morning.

Touching her new hairdo, she replied proudly, "My husband gave me a haircut. What do you think? It's pretty nice, right?"

Toby was deeply touched to the point that he felt as though his heart almost melted into a puddle of water and became beyond soft. Not only was she satisfied with his skill, but she also proudly showed it off to others.

Tim nodded. "Not bad. I wanted to tell you to do that anyway. Unexpectedly, you have cut it in advance. This saves me a lot of work."

After hearing that, she smiled. "We didn't know too at first. It was Madam Mary who told us that it'd be better to cut off my hair. That's why."

"What are you doing here?" Toby asked Tim.

Tim glanced at Toby before he turned to Sonia. "I heard you have no appetite, so I'm here to check on you and see if I can find a way to relieve your discomfort. I'm surprised to see you enjoying your food now."

Looking over at Mary with a grateful look, Sonia expressed, "It's all thanks to Madam Mary. She has prepared some appetizing meals for me. That's why I'm regaining my appetite. I don't feel uncomfortable eating these fruits now."

"That's great, then. Alright. My business here is done, so I shall leave. Call me if you need anything." Tim looked at her.

Sonia responded with a smile.

With that, he turned around and went out, leaving as fast as he came.

Mary even got sentimental after Tim left. "Dr. Lancaster truly is a responsible person. He isn't your attending doctor, nor is he a doctor under the OB-GYN department, yet he especially comes over to your ward and checks on you. Such a good man, he is."

Agreeing with what Mary said, Sonia added, "Yeah. He treated us very well. Toby and I troubled him a lot too."

Everyone said he's a monstrous man with no emotions, but I beg to differ. Dr. Lancaster isn't emotionless. He just needs time before he opens up to someone. Take my case of saving him back in childhood for example. He's willing to repay me in such a sincere manner even though it was a favor I did for him so many years ago. This isn't something a person with no emotions can do. An emotionless person will never express their gratitude toward others, even if that someone saved their life.

Although Toby was unhappy to see Sonia praising another man, he, too, knew they had troubled Tim a lot. Therefore, he did not voice anything no matter how upset he was. I can still distinguish between jealousy and a good turn.

Meanwhile, in Gray Residence, a shrill and panicked female voice suddenly broke the initial peace in the villa.

"Titus!" Julia looked at her husband, who suddenly passed out after spitting a mouthful of blood on the sick bed. Her face turned ghastly pale from the shock, and she was so anxious that she immediately burst into tears.

At that moment, Rina hurried over after she heard Julia's scream from another room. "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"

"Your dad spat blood. Rina, he spat blood!" As if seeing a lifesaver, Julia quickly grabbed Rina's hand and cried so hard that she was out of breath.

Knowing her mother was struck with panic, Rina gently patted her on the back, signaling her to calm down first before she went to check on Titus.

Looking at her father lying unconsciously on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth, Rina felt her heart abruptly contract for a moment. Her face gradually turned pale.

Seeing this, Sonia merely felt strange momentarily before she continued learning how to knit children's sweaters from Mary. Although I can knit a scarf, I only know one technique and am clueless about the rest. Moreover, knitting a sweater is far more difficult than knitting a scarf, considering it involves a lot more different types of knitting stitches. I did learn it before, but because I was impatient, I stopped after a while. Now that I don't have to be busy with work and can only stay in the hospital all day, I feel relaxed all over. Since I can't look at my phone for a long time, my boredom makes me think of finding something else to do.

At first, I didn't know what activity I should engage in to cure my boredom. Later, it was Madam Mary who offered to teach me to knit a sweater for my baby. I thought it was interesting, and since I wanted to see my child put on the sweater I knitted by myself, I agreed to learn. Not to mention, I gave up learning it after a while because I was impatient in the past. But now, perhaps due to my age and because I'm going to be a mother soon, I just feel calm all over. Plus, I find that knitting is a pretty interesting hobby after I started learning it. I even feel like knitting a sweater for everyone.

Regardless, it will take me at least a month or two to finish knitting a sweater. I will probably only be able to finish it by next winter if I want to knit one for Grandma, Toby, and others. Nonetheless, theirs can wait. Right now, I just want to knit one for the baby as a birth gift from a mother. Besides, I want to knit one for that child too… My child. Although the child is no longer here with me, I still hold them dearly in my heart. I don't intend to, nor will I forget them.

In fact, I'm thinking of preparing one gift for them when I'm preparing one for the baby in my belly. This is the only thing I can do for them as a mother, but I have yet to discuss this matter with Toby, so I'm not sure if he can grasp my thoughts.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she saw a silhouette appear before her eyes.

Sonia looked up and happened to see the man gazing down at her. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Toby caressed her hair. "I should be the one asking you that. Why are you suddenly feeling down?"

Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a few seconds before she eventually expressed her intention to gift something to the child they lost.

After hearing this, he chuckled and agreed. "Sure. Just prepare it if you want to. We'll also prepare a room for him and put all the things that we have specially prepared for him in that room from now on. We'll buy an extra gift for that child whenever we buy one for this baby."

Hearing that, she could not contain her smile. "I thought you'd find this outrageous."

After all, not many can grasp this idea. Furthermore, according to some traditional beliefs, this is considered inauspicious. Some might even think I missed that child so much that I have gone nuts. At first, I was also worried that Toby wouldn't understand why I wanted to do this. Fortunately, he never let me down.
