Chapter 1422
After hearing that the child was okay, Julia first breathed a sigh of relief. However, she soon realized something and asked again, "For now, you say? Does that mean Sonny is not out of danger yet?"
Titus' expression became even tenser.
Without confirming or denying, Toby raised his chin and replied, "Yes, her body is in a very bad state. She shouldn't have gotten pregnant at this time, but she coincidentally became pregnant. Therefore, she had to stay in the hospital to nurture the baby. Originally, she only needed to stay in the hospital for three to four months, and when the fetus was completely stable, she could be discharged and recuperate at home. But thanks to what Taylor did, Sonia's health was affected greatly. For the next ten months, she could only lie in bed until she gave birth. Furthermore, this may be our last child."
In other words, Sonia could no longer have children after this incident.
Julia was given a big blow and stumbled back two steps. "How could this be…"
Titus was also very upset.
But more than anything, they were happy that Sonia and their grandchild were safe.
"Did Sonny inherit my chronic kidney failure?" At this point, he thought of something important and stared at Toby as he asked.
His kidney failure was caused by genetic inheritance.
Therefore, he suffered from oligospermia and the chances of him having children in his lifetime was
close to nil. It was only because of sheer luck that he had Sonia as his daughter.
Now, what he feared the most was that she also inherited his kidney failure.
When Julia heard this, she also became very nervous. "That's right, Toby. Tell us. Did Sonny …"
"No." Toby shook his head. "When you were diagnosed with kidney failure, I was worried that Sonia might inherit it, so I had Dr. Lancaster perform a thorough checkup on her, and we also checked the family medical history of the Gray Family. We found out that Gray Family's kidney failure only passes down to males and is a direct male inheritance. The females and their children won't inherit it."
In other words, the disease was passed down from the grandfather to the father, and the father to the son.
However, the grandfather's daughter would not inherit it, and her children would not inherit it either.
At this, Titus and Julia were overjoyed. "Great. That's great."
"Titus, Sonny didn't inherit it." She looked at him excitedly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He nodded. "Yeah, thank goodness."
All along, he had felt that life was not fair to him. Why did he have to suffer from such a disease?
But now, when he heard that his daughter did not have the disease, he suddenly felt relieved.
In fact, it was comical because he didn't care whether Taylor inherited it before he knew that Sonia was his daughter.
Now that he knew Sonia was his daughter, he suddenly became very concerned about whether she inherited the disease.
It showed that in his heart, he rejected Taylor like Julia. Although he treated Taylor well, he wasn't really concerned about her. Only now, with his real daughter, had all of his fatherly love been fully expressed.
Things that were not thought of in the past were now considered.
"Taylor went to find Sonia just to ask her to abort the child and donate her kidney to save your life," Toby added.
Julia's face immediately turned ugly. "How dare she!"
Even though she knew that Taylor did this to save her husband, so what?
Taylor dared to scheme against Sonia. Julia would never forgive her for this.
After all, that was her long-awaited daughter. She had been thinking about her for more than twenty years.
Titus was equally angry. He looked at Toby and said, "So, you have captured her, right?"
"That's right. She attempted to take my wife's life. I naturally cannot let her go," Toby answered expressionlessly. "My wife's health was poor in the first place. If she were to abort the child and donate
one of her kidneys, she would lose her life. Therefore, I will deal with such a person properly. I came here today not only to tell you these things but also to find out your stance on this matter."
"What do you mean?" Titus narrowed his eyes.
Toby calmly met his gaze. "I want to know what your reaction will be after knowing that Sonia is your daughter. Will you continue to hold a grudge against her, or will you let go of your hatred and make amends with her?"
"Of course, we'll make it up to her." Before Titus could reply, Julia said agitatedly, "I have been looking forward to her arrival my entire life. But now that she's here, I have yet to play my role as a mother. I haven't been a part of her growth and have even allowed my two adopted daughters to harm her repeatedly. My husband and I have also caused harm to her by speaking ill of her. As her mother, I owe her an apology, and I must compensate her with all that I have. No mother would ever hate their own child."
Titus felt the same way as he closed his eyes and expressed his pain. "I understand your intentions. As a child who grew up trapped between the enmity of the Reeds and the Grays, once she learns her true identity, she will collapse."
Anyone would empathize with matters like this.
Sonia was taken away from them by Henry when she was young and grew up by his side.
Henry cherished her like a precious gem by raising her into a child with good values and morals. She didn't even know her own identity when she was a child and always believed that she was the daughter of the Reeds.
Even when she later found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Reeds but rather a child that Henry had adopted, her dependence and gratitude toward him only grew stronger. She felt like a child abandoned by her own biological parents but was brought back and raised by him. This act of kindness was enough to make Sonia loyal to the Reeds, and naturally, she would hate their enemies even more for harming Henry and the Reeds.
However, should Sonia, in the midst of enacting revenge for the Reeds, suddenly discover her enemy was actually her biological parents, her world would probably collapse, a mental breakdown awaiting her.
If she had inherited their heartless genes, perhaps she wouldn't be too affected by it. She might even give up on seeking revenge and return to acknowledge her biological parents.
However, she did not inherit their evil side. On the contrary, she was very kind-hearted.
So, she couldn't let go of her hatred toward the Gray Family and couldn't help seeking revenge for the Reeds either because she knew to be grateful.
Concurrently, the Gray Family was her biological family, so she couldn't really hurt them. Otherwise, her hands would be stained by the blood of her biological parents.
If she did that, she would continue to suffer in pain for the rest of her life, and never attain happiness.
So, to completely avoid facing these problems, it was highly likely that she would choose to escape.
As for how to escape to completely avoid facing them, it had to be death.
When Titus thought that his daughter might do this, he became agitated as his breathing became rapid.
At the sight of this, Toby continued, "It seems that you've figured out what Sonia may have to face after this. This is the purpose of my coming here to tell you. If you really love her and want her to have a good future, you should know what to do. The hatred between the Reeds and Grays was instigated by you unilaterally. Even if Henry retaliated against you, he had not actually succeeded in revenge. He raised Sonia and taught her well. You should've been thankful to him. But in the end, you forced him to commit suicide. Even the two daughters, whom you raised, almost killed Sonia several times. You owe Sonia too much. If you really want to make it up to her, there is only one chance now. I hope you'll make the right choice."
After finishing his sentence, he turned around and left.
