This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“What are you speaking about, Mom? Even though I didn’t give birth to Toby, I’ve always regarded him

as my own,” Jean grumbled.

However, Rose merely glared at her from the corner of her eyes without a word.

Soon, the doctor arrived and injected some analgesic into Toby. After the pain faded away, he gradually

regained his consciousness, but his face was even more pale than before when he opened his eyes

again.

Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, Rose held his

SOOOO

hand and asked gently, “Are you alright, Toby?”

Nodding his head weakly, he uttered, “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Grandma.”

“I’m sorry, Toby. It’s all my fault. I’m so sorry…” Standing by his bed, Tina sobbed as she wiped her tears

away

However, her cries merely made Toby’s head throb, and he wasn’t in the mood to console her at this

point. Rubbing his temples, he groaned, “Stop crying already!”

Hearing the annoyance in his voice, Tina immediately stopped crying and looked at him with a hurt

expression. Looks like he already has a certain level of resistance toward my cries. When he hears me

crying now, he‘s not going to prioritize and comfort me, even when he‘s busy, like he used to anymore. At

the thought of this, panic washed over her and she couldn’t help but start biting her nails.

“Okay, we‘ve reapplied the antiseptic and dressed the wounds again. The next step is to take good care,

but he shouldn’t be hit so strongly again. Otherwise, not only will his wound open up again, but his ribs

which were fixed in place will also break,” the doctor warned sternly as he removed his blood stained

gloves.

Rose bobbed her head. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep a close eye on him and I won’t let some idiot hurt

my grandson again!” she said and glanced at

Tina intentionally.

Ashamed, Tina hung her head and didn’t dare to even make a squeak.

After the doctor left, Rose tapped her walking stick on the floor a couple of times and said, “Alright, all of

you should go back now. I have some things to say to Toby.”

“I’m not leaving,” Tina said immediately, tugging Toby’s sleeves. “I wanna stay by Toby’s side.”

With a grim look, Rose looked at her with grave eyes. “Miss Gray, can’t you tell that you’re the last

person I want to have here?”

Embarrassed to be told so bluntly that she was unwelcomed, Tina gazed at Toby and moved her lips to

say something, but he jerked his sleeve away and muttered, “Go home for now, Tina.”

“But Toby…” she whined, sounding unwilling.

Pursing his lips, Toby returned her gaze with a solemn look. “Go home.”

Feeling as though he had seen through her with those eyes, Tina shuddered from his gaze and broke the

eye contact subconsciously. “Okay, I’ll visit you again next time,” she replied with a nod and left after

grabbing her handbag. A few seconds later, Jean and Tom left the room as

6000OON

well, leaving Rose and Mary together with Toby.

With Mary’s help, Rose sat down and glanced at her own grandchild studiously. “Somehow, ! realized

that your attitude toward Tina has mellowed down a lot after waking up this time. Now, you’re not as

accommodating as you were to her before.”

With one arm over his eyes, Toby muttered, “I figured out some things all of a sudden. Maybe it’s

because I was too accommodating toward her before this that made her more and more spoiled.”

More importantly, he could clearly feel that the shackles that were bounding his heart were all released

after he woke up this time.

Previously, whenever he saw Tina crying or looking aggrieved, a voice in his head would command him

to comfort and spoil her. But now, he suddenly realized that that voice had turned much softer now, and

in turn, he became more relieved.

“I’m glad you realized that.” Rose gave him a thankful smile. “Toby, you’re finally back to the way you

were before.”

“The way I was before?” he repeated, looking at. her in a daze because he didn’t understand what she

meant.

Nodding, Rose answered, “Yeah. How you used to be was a different person than how you are now. You

were much more friendly and gentle, even. But ever since what happened to you six years ago… you’ve

become a changed person. If it wasn’t for the birthmark on you, I would’ve thought that it was someone

else in your place.”

Toby’s pupils shrunk. From Grandma’s description, it seems like I have two completely different personalities before and after what happened six years ago. But I don’t remember how / used to be at all. Is this normal? he asked himself, holding his palm against his forehead as his head started to throb

again. Once more, the weird images popped up in his mind, flashing past in his head like a merry-go-

round, and he was unable to make any sense out of it.

“What’s wrong, Toby?” Rose asked in concern when she saw how distressed he seemed.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he answered, “I’m fine, Grandma. Tell me more about how I used to be.”

“Sure,” she agreed gladly. “Your old self was more chatty and was polite to everyone. However, ever

since you told me that you started dating Tina, your pen-pal, I realized that . she’s the only one in your

eyes and heart, and you can no longer see anyone else. All you do is revolve around her like a puppet.”
