Chapter 1461 Home Sweet Home

Sonia was still talking with Rose and the others when the man's voice resounded from the other side of the line. She picked the phone up. "Yes, I'm here. I was wondering where you went. Where did you go?"

After Toby's sudden silence, she and Rose called his name several times but in vain. She wouldn't be waiting for him had the call been terminated.

His gaze wavered upon the thought of his silly self-affirmation in the toilet. He let out a wry cough. "I was sending an important document. Sorry to keep you hanging."

She bought his words as he was a busy man. "I see."

Rose was the only person who pouted. Sending document at this hour? Lies! We woke him up from his sleep, and he's sending a document out of a sudden? Only Sonia—the innocent girl—will believe those words. He can't fool us the elders.

Mary and Rosie saw through his lies as well. They were chuckling.

"How are you feeling, honey?" Being pregnant with twins was definitely difficult. Toby was worried that Sonia's body wouldn't be able to take it, hence the possibility of going for a multifetal pregnancy reduction.

Based on the parenting book he read, there were cases where mothers of multiple pregnancies

actually resorted to a multifetal pregnancy reduction to save the mother and children.

That way, it wouldn't be a burden to the mother's body and cause health complications.

Needless to say, he decided to keep it to himself for the moment because Sonia was over the moon by the twins. He wouldn't want to rain on her parade.

"I'm totally fine." She caressed her belly. "I still feel as energetic as usual. It might be because the babies are just taking their forms. I feel nothing yet."

Feeling assured, he nodded. "Okay. Take care. I'll be back in two days."

"Alright. I'll be waiting. It's getting late. You should get some sleep. You're a busy man. It will be bad if you don't get enough rest. Let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay."

As Sonia set the phone down, Rose grinned. "Can't stand being away from your husband? You guys sure are cute."

Sonia blushed, causing Rose to smile. "Okay. I'll stop with the teasing. You're still as shy as before."

"Grandma." Sonia frowned at Rose, who burst into laughter of merriment.

Soon, Tim came. Before this, the news of Sonia being pregnant with twins had put him in a trance for a long time. So, he paid a visit to check on her situation.

Noticing Rose's presence, he gently pushed his spectacles and greeted her politely. She had a good impression of him; he was not the monster people said he was. So, what if he has an affective disorder? Does that mean he is not a human? Besides, Timmy had neither done anything against the law nor hurt anyone. He is a doctor who saves lives!

Rose, for one, was grateful to Tim for his excellent care for Sonia. His polite salutation had earned him merits too.

"Here to check on Sonny, Dr. Lancaster?" she asked.

He nodded. "Heard she's pregnant with a twin, so I'm here to check if she's alright for tomorrow's corneal surgery."

"I see. Go ahead." She rose from her seat with the help of a walking stick, making way for him.

Tim came up to Sonia, but he did not examine her right away. "Congratulations. You and Toby are sure lucky to have twins as your first."

She smiled. "It is a pleasant surprise. I still can't tell if it's real."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" He took the pen from his left chest pocket.

She shook her head. "Nope. Nothing feels out of ordinary."

"That's great. It seems like we can proceed with the surgery tomorrow as scheduled, but we should monitor your condition for the day. We have to make sure that you're completely fine."

Sonia and Mary nodded simultaneously, after which Tim kept the pen and took out a small torch to check her pupils.

Once he was sure that there was no change in them, he turned off the torch. "Okay. I have a big picture of how it is now. We will have the surgery at about this hour tomorrow, but you have to stay alert until then. Tell me as soon as you feel unwell."

"Got it." Sonia was serious when it concerned her children.

"Okay. I should get going now." He turned around to leave.

Rose watched the leaving figure. "He is such a fine man. He has taken good care of Sonny and Toby so much. Skillful but a little egoistic. He doesn't just tend to any patient, huh? I heard that he has turned down a lot of them."

"Yup. The Lancasters pleaded with him for life, but he did not say 'yes.'" Mary nodded.

Being someone with a more straightforward attitude, Rosie pouted. "They had it coming. I bet he would've agreed to the request if they had treated him better."

"You're right. Karma always hits us back. We can't blame others." Rose smiled.

She left the hospital thereafter. Her energy limit had diminished as she aged; she felt exhausted easily. That being said, she was reluctant to stay at the nursing home no matter how much they persuaded her.

There was one time when Toby was ready to force her to get some treatment at the nursing home, but she refused by swearing that she would cut ties with him. What else could he have done in the face of such a threat? He raised the white flag in the end.

Toby knew exactly why his grandmother refused to go to the nursing home. Death did not fear Rose in the slightest; she was ready to accept her demise at any time.

Thus, she figured that there was no need to go to the nursing home. Even if she could live longer, there was a limit; death was inevitable.

Therefore, staying in the nursing home under fetter just to extend her longevity was unnecessary. The loss of liberty would only stifle her.

She'd rather stay at Fuller Residence counting time.

Having been left with no choice, Toby gave up on the nursing home option and recruited a medical team to look after Rose at home.

Despite her receiving meticulous care and having no serious illnesses, her body had reached its limits. She would sleep after barely staying awake for a few hours.

In hindsight, Sonia did not insist Rose stay in worry that the elderly woman might fall asleep at the hospital since being at home was always the most comfortable for the elders. She'll feel safer resting at home rather than here.
