Rina’s Fear
She had never seen a doctor like him, who instead of thinking how best to save his patients, was thinking
about how to kill people.
Rather than a doctor, it would be more fitting to call him a devil.
Catching Sonia’s meaning, Tim adjusted his glasses and smiled casually. “Relax. To normal people or
people that I don’t harbor malice toward, I leave them well alone. I only strike against those who are truly
evil. Also, don’t you think a devil that tortures his own kind is an amusing thing?”
Sonia’s mouth twitched as she replied, “Whatever floats your boat.”
Since Tim said that he would only target evil people and not normal people, she decided to leave him
alone.
At this moment, Toby suddenly covered her ears and looked disapprovingly at Tim. “In the future, don’t
keep mentioning these kinds of violent things to her. You’ll dirty her ears.”
Seeing Toby’s overprotectiveness made Tim pout and stop talking.
Sonia took Toby’s hands away from her ears and she reassured, “It’s alright, Toby. It’s just words and not
real, gritty scenes. It’s not as bad as you make it out to be. Let’s go now. We still have to get you that CT
scan.”
Hearing Sonia’s words, Toby agreed and glanced at Tim. “Hurry up.”
Not bothering to even reply, Tim walked out of the office as he twirled his scalpel.
Sonia, who was holding onto Toby’s arm, followed suit.
After half an hour, the CT scan was finished.
Then, Toby and Sonia sat at the waiting area outside the CT room, waiting for the report to come out.
Suddenly, Toby saw a shadow passing through the corner from the other side, but it disappeared as
soon as it appeared.
His gaze darkened when he saw this and he stood up. “I’ll be making a call outside. Just wait here. I’ll be
back soon.”
Not thinking why he had to step outside to take a call, Sonia only thought that he was going to discuss
some confidential deals, so she nodded in agreement. “Go ahead.”
Ruffling her hair, Toby then walked to the direction of that same corner.
Looking at his silhouette, Sonia slowly tidied up her messy hair. It was not until he disappeared into the
corner did she finally stop and played with her phone.
On the other end, Toby had chased the shadow to where she was outside a laboratory.
Just as she wanted to knock, Toby’s cold gaze peered at her and he shouted, “Taylor Carey!”
Hearing the man’s voice made Rina, who was standing outside the laboratory holding Titus’ body
checkup report, clam up as her expression changed for the worse.
Toby?
Why is he here?
Stiffly, Rina turned her body around as she faced the man who slowly walked toward her. Toby’s
dominating aura made her feel extremely pressured, to the point where she had to control her breathing
as she became very cautious.
At the same time, the hand that was holding onto the report tightened slowly, until it became a long strip
of paper. Her calves even started to tremble as he approached. Rina wanted to step backward, but it was
as if her feet were glued to the ground and they simply would not budge. Finally, the pale-faced Rina
could only look at the man standing before her.
“P-President Fuller…” Drawing in deep breaths, she tried hard to suppress her fear for the man as she
greeted him in a trembling voice, all the while guessing wildly about his motives in finding her.
Seeing this cold expression made her realize that he had a very bad opinion of her.
What did she do to offend him so?
Biting her lip, Rina thought back on the few seconds of their encounter. However, she could not find out
exactly when she managed to offend him.
Since the last time they met after the paternity test, she had not seen him face to face again. Hence, she
was extra sure that she did not do anything to offend him.
Suddenly, a person appeared in her mind that made her gasp in horror.
Sonia is the cause of this!
Rina, who had bumped into Sonia just now, had even told the latter that she should donate a kidney to
save Titus. This would definitely have offended Sonia.
It just so happened that the man facing Rina now was madly in love with Sonia. Obviously, his
appearance at the hospital was due to Sonia, which meant that he likely knew about the conversation
that took place between Rina and Sonia. Now, it made sense why he chased after the former.
How could Toby accept the fact that Rina wanted Sonia, who was the love of his life, to donate a kidney?
Naturally, anyone would explode in rage by this. That was why he came looking for Rina.
Truth was, Rina’s guess was actually right on the mark.
Toby, who was initially sitting outside the CT room, caught a glimpse of Rina. He instantly thought about
the incident between Sonia and her.
Initially, he had planned to let Tom bring the woman to him after they had left the hospital.
However, she then appeared right in front of him.
Since this happened, how could he miss this perfect opportunity?
Toby consolidated his thoughts and a flash of menace danced in his gaze before he reached out and
forcefully choked Rina with a powerful grip.
Not thinking that he would suddenly make a move, Rina was so scared to the point that she turned as
white as a sheet of paper. With her mouth opening and closing, she struggled to make a sound, “P-
President… F-Fuller…”
She wanted to make him loosen his grip but out of fear for the man, she let her hands fall after raising
them multiple times and let him just choke her like that.
She was afraid that if she retaliated, she might agitate him even further, resulting in him choking her to
death.
The Rina now was not the same country bumpkin that first came to Seafield back then.
Presently, she understood how powerful the people from the higher society were. Even though the Gray
Family was considered quite influential, they were nothing when compared to the man in front of her.
Hence, if he really wanted to choke her to death, things would still smooth themselves out and he would
not pay any price for it.
“Not bad, Taylor!” Not knowing Rina’s thoughts, Toby once again tightened his grip on her throat. Looking
at her gasping for air through her gaping mouth to her teary eyes because of her current predicament,
not only did Toby not soften, he was even more disgusted by this. “How dare you make Sonia donate a
kidney to Titus?!”
His words made Rina’s pupils contract.
Sure enough, he had sought her out because of this. It was to make her know the consequences of
doing so.
At that point, Rina, who was being choked, could not speak properly. The sounds she made were
extremely unpleasant and hoarse as she choked out, ”I… didn’t have a choice. I did it to save Dad. Miss
Reed b-being his flesh and blood should—”
“I don’t care whose biological daughter she is; she’s not obligated to save anyone!” Knowing what Rina
was going to say, Toby instead interrupted her as he did not want to listen to her. With an emotionless
tone, he continued, “Also, Titus never cared to raise her. Instead, he only troubled her again and again,
so what right do you have to make her try to save him?”
As he said this, he raised his arm up even further.
Rina, who easily weighed over 40 kgs, was being lifted by him single-handedly.
Due to the absence of staff in the hospital today, not to mention they were in a high security area, there
were even less people around. Otherwise, passersby would have resorted to calling the guards if they
chanced upon this scene.
“Mr. Fuller… P-Please… let go of me first…” The suffocation made Rina’s eyes bloodshot as her face
contorted due to not being able to breathe freely.
Not wanting to kill her then and there, Toby chose to chuck her to the side.
Rina, who fell onto the floor, clutched at her throat as she gasped for fresh air.
Standing at his spot, Toby looked at her from above. “Taylor, didn’t I warn you that if you wanted to stay
as Rina Gray, you should do so quietly and not stir up any trouble? I also told you to keep your hands off
of Sonia, or I would make your life a living hell. Why didn’t you listen?”
