Knowing the Truth

“Well, that had something to do with Toby’s heart.” Tim gazed at Sonia and asked, “Are you aware that

Toby underwent a heart transplant in the past?”

“Yes, I am.” Sonia nodded. In fact, she had noticed the scar on Toby’s chest when she changed his

clothes in the cave after they fell off the cliff. When he woke up the next day, she asked about the scar

and was told that he underwent heart transplant surgery due to a congenital heart disease. At that

moment, she finally understood that the reason why Toby had always looked so weak and pale ever

since they were married was because he was probably still in his recovery stage.

While Sonia told Tim that she was aware of Toby’s surgery, he averted his gaze and replied, “Toby’s

current heart once belonged to Miles’ brother.”

“What?!” Her eyes dilated in shock.

He then added, “His name was Quentin and he used to be Tina’s boyfriend.”

“Wait a second. Her boyfriend?!” Sonia furrowed her eyebrows.

As a glimmer of light reflected from Tim’s glasses, he asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you just

thought of something.”

Sonia puckered her lips before she answered, “Yeah, but I’m not sure whether it’s true or not. Six years

ago when Tina and I were still college mates, I heard that she had a boyfriend whom she had been

dating for close to 3 years. So, I was just wondering whether that boyfriend of hers is the same person

whom you’re talking about.”

“It looks like it.” Tim squinted. “Tina was dating Quentin for almost three years before he died in a car

accident.”

“Well, in that case, they are the same person.” Sonia tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Six

years ago, we noticed that Tina hadn’t been on a date with her boyfriend for a whole and asked

whether she had broken up with him, but she told us that he did. We all thought that she had cursed

him in a fit of pique. To think about it now in hindsight, I can’t believe she was actually telling the truth at

that time.” Right after Quentin died, his heart was given to Toby.

“After Quentin was in the accident, he wasn’t admitted to the hospital in time, which ultimately caused

him to miss the prime time in treating his injury. Thus, he passed away after a few days of

hospitalization, but before he died, he agreed to give his heart to Toby. He even had his brother, Miles,

help Tina to make Toby fall in love with her.” Tim sneered when he mentioned that. In his eyes, Quentin

was a mere fool for allowing love to blind him and cloud his judgment. That poor fella not only failed to

realize the accident that killed him was orchestrated, but he also unknowingly helped Tina to succeed

in her plan by surrendering his own heart for her while making his brother go against his ethical codes.

What a selfish and dumb fool!

“So, your senior, Miles, hypnotized Toby and those around him to make Toby believe that he was in

love with Tina?” Sonia clenched her fists as she asked with a hoarse voice that was accompanied by

her rage.

“Exactly.” Tim nodded. “That’s how it was.”

“That’s unacceptable!” Sonia bit her lips, her body trembling due to her overwhelming rage. “What

Quentin did was unforgivable. Why did he do that? Who did he think he was to help Tina at Toby’s

expense? Did he think he was selfless by doing that? What he did was nothing different than forcing

someone’s hand because he didn’t just ruin Toby’s life! He also ruined mine!”

She could barely suppress the anger within her as her bloodshot eyes turned red. This is all Quentin’s

fault! If Quentin hadn’t involved his brother in hypnotizing Toby, Toby wouldn’t have failed to recognize

me, let alone fallen in love with Tina. If that didn’t happen, we would be living a happy life together by

now, but Quentin took everything away from us!

Tim sensed Sonia’s negative aura and let out a sigh. “Lighten up, would you? It’s been so long since

the matter happened, so your anger won’t change anything either. After all, Quentin is now a dead man

and it feels like karma has already punished him.”

“What do you mean?” Sonia looked at the doctor with her red eyes.

He coldly curled his lips. “Quentin’s death was no mere accident but instead, it was murder.”

“What?!” She covered her mouth in shock.

Through his reflective glasses, Tim replied, “Toby’s blood type and biological condition has made it hard

for him to search for a compatible heart for a transplant. Ever since he was born, the Fuller Family had

been searching everywhere for a replacement after he was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease.

However, their efforts remained unfruitful for the next 24 years until a few days before the doctor

predicted Toby’s death six years ago. Coincidentally, Quentin was involved in a fatal car accident at

that time, which later claimed his life and it conveniently presented a suitable heart for Toby. Don’t you

see anything wrong here?”

Sonia’s expression changed. “Are you suggesting that Toby or the Fuller Family orchestrated Quentin’s

accident? No! No way; the Fuller Family and Toby wouldn’t—”

“Well, I didn’t say it’s them. I’m referring to Tina,” he interrupted her.

“Tina?!” Sonia’s mouth was agape.

“That’s right.” Tim tilted his chin. “Although I wasn’t really aware what had happened back then, I

discovered from the hospital records that Old Mrs. Fuller met up with Quentin on the same day he was

pronounced dead to convince him to be a heart donor for Toby. The reason she was aware that

Quentin’s heart was compatible was because Tina had tipped the Fuller Family off about it.”

“What happened after that?” a desperate Sonia asked.

He answered, “According to Miles, Quentin didn’t initially agree to donate his heart until Tina returned

from a trip and said that she fell in love at first sight with a man who needed a heart. She even cried to

Quentin that she still had a long way ahead of her and hoped that he would help her.”

“So, Quentin caved under her alleged cries of sympathy and agreed to donate his heart to Toby. At the

same time, he also asked for his brother’s help to hypnotize Toby so that he would fall in love with

Tina!” Sonia’s cheeks flushed in anger. “Oh, gosh! This is pathetic indeed!”

She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails began to pierce her palms. “Tina didn’t fall in love

with Toby at first sight. Instead, she had been having her eyes on him for a while and somehow learned

that Quentin’s heart was compatible with Toby’s. Thus, she plotted against her then-boyfriend to have

him killed in a car accident!”

“That’s right. In fact, I’m not the only one who suspected Tina was behind Quentin’s death because

Toby feels the same way too. Therefore, as soon as he recovered from the influence of hypnotism, he

began searching for new evidence to prove his suspicion, but to no avail. After all, the incident had

happened so many years ago and the remote location where the accident took place was barely

crowded and equipped with any surveillance cameras, which only added to the difficulty of gathering

any useful evidence to testify against Tina for her murder.” Tim shrugged his shoulders and added,

“That’s why I think Quentin received what was coming to him for his death at Tina’s hands.”

“Alright, I’m now clear about what had happened. Thanks for telling me everything.” Sonia took a deep

breath to calm down for a moment.

Tim waved his hand. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s not a secret anyway, but now that you know the

reason why Toby had been mean toward you for the past 6 years was because he had been

hypnotized, what are you going to do? Are you going to forgive him?”

Sonia slightly lowered her head. “Yes, I’ll forgive him. He was a victim as much as I was. After all, what

he did to me wasn’t done out of his own volition. He was merely under the weather instead.”

He wasn’t shocked by her answer. “Then, what’s next? Do you have any intention to rekindle the old

flames with him?”

“I don’t know about that.” She shook her head. “I may have forgiven him, but reconciliation is another

story. Plus, there is a lot on my plate now and I’m still trying to deal with them. Nevertheless, I guess

there is perhaps a way for us to work things out once I’m mentally ready.”
