This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 245

The pain subsided the moment he said that. Toby stared at the desk, hiding the murderous look that was swelling within his eyes. I knew it. That’s not the last time. That means I’ll have to cheer her up or get anything she wants whenever she wants. If I don’t, I’ll get punished. Sh*t. That means I’m just a puppet!

“Thank you, Toby. You’re the best.” Tina didn’t notice his fury, so she smiled sheepishly. He’s back to how he was before the car crash. I guess we’re all patched up now.

Toby kept quiet, but he was actually holding back his urge to destroy Tina.

At this moment, the manager came back again, but now with a doctor. “Dear customers, please let the doctor have a look,” he quickly told the four of them. At the same time, he complained, What the heck is this? That guy with the crutch almost died earlier, and now the chandelier right on top of that guy fell. Did that guy break a mirror and see a black cat at the same time?

“Doctor, I need you to look at Sonia first.” Carl quickly dragged the doctor toward Sonia.

However, Tina rolled her eyes and piped up, “Miss Reed, can you hold on for a minute?”

Carl’s face fell, and he looked at Tina darkly. “What? You want to go first?”

A frown creased Toby’s forehead, and he felt disgusted as well. Ever since he knew he had to protect and spoil Tina despite the fact he didn’t love her, he started disliking Tina. But he couldn’t show it, or he’d get punished.

“Yes. She only injured her arm, but I got one on my face, so—”

For the first time in his life, Carl couldn’t hold his anger in, and he cursed at her directly. “Shut the f*ck up! So what? That’s not even half as serious as Sonia’s wound!” He pointed at Sonia’s bleeding arm, and he felt like throttling Tina.

Tina bit her lip. “I know, but it’ll leave a scar on my face if I drag it on for too long. Even if she gets a scar on her arm, she can keep it hidden under her sleeve. Miss Reed’s a kind person, so she won’t want to see me having a scar on my face.”

“No. I’m an evil person. I want to leave a scar on your face. Better yet, the wound festers and rots your flesh,” Sonia retorted coldly.

Tina stared at her in disbelief. “Miss Reed, what are you—”

Toby couldn’t take it anymore, so he snapped, “Enough. Let Sonia go first.”

“Toby…”

“Let her go first.” He gazed at Tina and repeated himself. Only God knew how much pain he was in at that moment. His heart felt like it would explode any moment, and the voice kept telling him to force the doctor to treat Tina first. It told him to leave Sonia alone, since she deserved all the pain and sadness in the world. Why? Just because you told me to? Fine, kill me if you dare, voice. Release me from my misery.

At that point, he knew a mysterious power was controlling him, forcing him to love and spoil Tina. Perhaps, he had never loved her to begin with. What he thought was love was just an illusion the power created for him.

He didn’t think he would fall for Tina either. The one he loved was that bubbly pen pal of his—Maple. But Tina’s personality was totally different from his pen pal. He didn’t think she’d change so much just because she was in a coma for six years. It was a gigantic flaw, but he never noticed that. That’s not normal. It’s that power. It’s controlling me, keeping me from realizing that Tina isn’t Maple. He didn’t know why the power was protecting Tina, but it didn’t matter. If it wants to control me, then I’ll fight it.

Toby flinched. The next moment, he suddenly lost his balance and knelt on one knee, his face contorted with pain.
