Chapter 991 The Result Is Out
Tim shot a look at the duo in an embrace and did not bother to say much. He got up and walked to the glass
medicine cabinet on the opposite side and opened one side of it. Subsequently, he took out a box of indigestion
tablets and flung it right at Toby.
Toby managed to grab it mid-air using his large palms and that move he made was very cool.
Sonia’s eyes shone at the sight of that.
He could not help revealing a smug smile on his thin lips upon noticing that.
“Two tablets will be enough.” Tim returned to his seat and reminded Toby.
Although Toby did not respond to Tim, he still followed his instruction and opened the box to pop two tablets out
from the blister before handing it over to her. “Take this.”
Sonia was currently feeling bloated, so she naturally did not reject his offer. She took the indigestion tablet and
popped them into her mouth immediately. The tablets were not bitter at all; on the contrary, it was a chewable
tablet that tasted like sweets.
As such, she did not even need to take the water that Toby poured for her, so he placed it back on the table after
that.
After their meal, Sonia’s body check report was finally out.
Tim took the document folder handed over by the nurse and opened it to retrieve the report inside. Subsequently,
he checked the result.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSonia and Toby were already seated on the couch at the moment.
Toby had his head slightly lowered and he was toying with her soft little hands. He did not even bother to cast eyes
on Tim while behaving like he was unbothered by the report.
However, Sonia was very concerned about the results of her check-up, so she craned her neck to look at Tim while
asking, “Dr. Lancaster, how’s the result?”
Tim walked over and handed the report to her. “There aren’t any major issues. Other than the low blood sugar that
I mentioned before, you have some slight issues with your cervical and lumbar spine from sitting too much.”
“Uhh…” She winced and took the report from her. “I can’t help that because I work in an office. At times, I would
even be seated for hours if I had a large amount of things to deal with, so these issues aren’t unexpected.” This
was practically the issue faced by every young man and woman working in an office.
“That is true, but you should try and improve your condition as much as possible. If you keep this up, the issues with
your cervical and lumbar spine will persist. By then, you’ll need to undergo surgery to correct them.”
“Ah…” Sonia gasped in fright. “Is it really that serious?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Tim looked at her from the reflection of his glasses. “Or, do you think that I’m not serious
with what I do?”
“No, I don’t.” She shook her head and quickly explained herself, “I didn’t mean those things at all.”
“Since you don’t have any doubts for me, then you shouldn’t have questioned my diagnosis.” Tim retracted his
gaze. “I’m a doctor, you can be assured of my competence.”
“Okay.” Sonia nodded meekly like a young student.
At that moment, Tim was finally pleased. “These aren’t major issues at all. I can prescribe you some medications
for your anemia and low blood sugar. Take them daily for your body to recover gradually. Then, I’ll give you a menu
with a list of suitable food for intake. Take your meals according to the menu and in two to three months time, there
should be a significant improvement in your condition. As for your spinal issues, it’s easy to resolve too. Take a short
break and go for a stretch after sitting down continuously for one to two hours. Stretch your neck and do some
waist exercises. Of course, the best advice would be to take up yoga or go to the gym regularly. Your muscles aren’t
firm enough, so these exercises will be beneficial to you.”
At that point, there were no words coming out from her parted lips as she did not expect that she would be riddled
with so many health issues. After all, she usually felt fine.
However, now that Tim pointed things out, it suddenly dawned upon her that her issues seemed to be quite serious.
“I’ll supervise her and help her mend her ways,” Toby answered on behalf of Sonia.
As he spoke, he had his eyes on her and the firm look in his eyes were very evident.
Sonia grimaced slightly and she suddenly felt a mounting pressure within her. The look in his eyes was a clear
indication that he would be sure to supervise and ensure that she exercised to sort out the issues with her spine. At
that point, she could clearly sense that her couch potato days were over from now on. How frustrating!
Though she felt resigned to fate, on the other hand, it was a warm gesture from him and she knew that he was
doing all this for her sake. He was so determined to supervise her because he cared about her, otherwise, why
would he bother?
“It’s a good thing to have him supervising you.” At that moment, Tim spoke up, “Otherwise, if you try to exercise by
yourself without any supervision, then it’s quite likely that you won’t be able to keep it up for too long. You will need
long-term exercise in order to correct your spinal issues. If you do it occasionally, then it won’t be effective at all.
Besides, I can guess that without any supervision, you will definitely be the type to only exercise at occasions when
you feel like it.”
Toby nodded non-commitally and agreed with Tim’s words.
As soon as Sonia noticed the two men jumping to their conclusion about her, she found it hard to maintain the smile
on her face. “I get it. Well, thanks guys.”
She emphasized on the word ‘thanks’ quite hard and everyone present could clearly tell that she said that through
clenched teeth. It was unfortunate because she was clearly unhappy about that. I can’t believe that I’m such a lazy
and uncommitted person in their eyes. Although I do hate exercising, laziness isn’t that bad… Well, okay. I admit I
do get lazy, but that’s normal though. Of course, people get demotivated sometimes to exercise! I guess I deserve
their judgment, but I don’t like this though! All of us work in an office, but why am I the only one who needs to
exercise, huh?
As she thought of that, she steered the conversation toward Toby, “Dr. Lancaster, I reckon that he has issues on his
cervical and lumbar spine as well.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Toby lifted his brows and turned to look at her with a slightly surprised expression. He clearly did not
expect her to suddenly mention him. However, he noticed the sly look in her eyes and he realized what was going
on instantly. At that moment, he smiled indulgently and shook his head.
Tim guessed the same thing too, so he shifted his glasses and replied calmly, “Don’t you worry. He definitely won’t
have any issues.”
“Why?” Sonia’s eyes widened in response. How can he be so confident about that?!
Tim crossed his arms. “Why? Well, you should ask yourself this question. You should know how well he’s able to use
his waist, shouldn’t you? As for his cervical spine, well, he’s such a loaded guy, so he must have a personal
masseuse, right?”
At that point, Sonia was rendered speechless and she lowered her head to hide her reddened face.
Yeah, I should know how well he’s able to use his waist. I’m the one who ends up begging for mercy each time. The
answer was quite evident and she felt ashamed to have asked that.
Toby revealed a half-smile and stroked her hair upon noticing the embarrassed look on her face. Subsequently, he
changed the topic. “Other than these, are there any other issues?”
Tim flung the brown document on his work desk. “No.”
Toby affirmed and shot Tim a look.
Tim nodded knowingly. “That’s all for the day. It’s getting late now, so I need to go on a ward round before I get off.
You guys should leave too.” After he said that, he tucked both hands into the pockets of his white coat and strode
out of the door.
Sonia glanced at the time on her phone and it was already past midnight. She felt quite tired and yawned as she
rubbed her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red-rimmed due to her exhaustion. “Toby, let’s go home.”
“Sure, but give me a few minutes. I just need to go to the bathroom.” Toby patted her shoulders and stood up.
She held her cup and took a sip from it. Next, she nodded her head after feeling refreshed. “Sure, go ahead.”
He ruffled her hair in response and strode out of the room on his slender, long legs.
Nonetheless, he did not head in the direction of the bathroom after walking out of the room. In fact, he took the
opposite way and walked past a bend in the corridor before stopping to look at the person across from him.
