Chapter 1415 The Anniversary of Homer’s Death

Seeing how tense the couple looked, Mary realized what they were worried about. She explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia. Old Mrs. Fuller is still unaware of what happened to you two for now. She probably called Young Master Toby to discuss how to hold a memorial service on the anniversary of Master Homer's death since the day is just around the corner."

This Master Homer that Mary mentioned was none other than Toby's late father, Homer Fuller.

Upon hearing this, Toby instantly heaved a sigh of relief. "Come to think of it, the anniversary of Father's death is indeed coming in a few days. I got it; I'll call Grandma later. Thank you for telling me about this, Mary."

"It's nothing, Young Master Toby. Alright, then, I shan't keep you two any longer. I gotta prepare the ingredients for tomorrow," Mary said. With that, she turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Sonia turned to look at the man. "We have to attend the memorial service for Dad on the anniversary of his death, right?"

Toby nodded. "That's of course, but you don't have to. You're not in good health, so I'll go alone."

"No, that won't do." Sonia shook her head. "How can I be absent at the memorial service for your father? And besides, it's not like I can't move around. There's no problem for me to spend a few hours away from the hospital."

Hearing her say that and seeing how she insisted on going, Toby pondered for a moment before finally

agreeing to it. After all, he had never let her meet his parents before, so now it was time to let her meet them. "Alright then, I'll take you there," he said while stroking her hair.

"Uh-huh," Sonia replied. "Just call Grandma back, or she'll be sleeping in a moment."

"Alright, I'll call her," Toby said while taking out his phone before calling Rose. At this moment, there wasn't much time left until when Rose was supposed to sleep, so they would have to wait until tomorrow if they didn't call her right now. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Soon afterward, the phone call to Rose was answered; Toby put the phone on speaker so that Sonia could listen to the phone conversation.

Rose's amiable and cheerful voice sounded through the phone. "Sonny, why call me at such a late hour?"

Toby's lips twitched. Is Grandma saying that on purpose? I made this phone call from my own number! I simply don't believe she didn't notice it, but she ignores me and says it's Little Leaf who made the phone call. Do I still exist in her mind's eye?

Seeing the man's darkened handsome face, Sonia snorted into laughter with her hand over her mouth. She said to the other end of the phone, "Grandma, we didn't rouse you from sleep, did we?" Seeing how tense the couple looked, Mory reolized whot they were worried obout. She exploined with o smile, "Don't worry, Young Moster Toby ond Young Mistress Sonio. Old Mrs. Fuller is still unowore of whot hoppened to you two for now. She probobly colled Young Moster Toby to discuss how to hold o memoriol service on the onniversory of Moster Homer's deoth since the doy is just oround the corner."

This Moster Homer thot Mory mentioned wos none other thon Toby's lote fother, Homer Fuller.

Upon heoring this, Toby instontly heoved o sigh of relief. "Come to think of it, the onniversory of Fother's deoth is indeed coming in o few doys. I got it; I'll coll Grondmo loter. Thonk you for telling me obout this, Mory."

"It's nothing, Young Moster Toby. Alright, then, I shon't keep you two ony longer. I gotto prepore the ingredients for tomorrow," Mory soid. With thot, she turned oround ond returned to the kitchen.

Sonio turned to look ot the mon. "We hove to ottend the memoriol service for Dod on the onniversory of his deoth, right?"

Toby nodded. "Thot's of course, but you don't hove to. You're not in good heolth, so I'll go olone."

"No, thot won't do." Sonio shook her heod. "How con I be obsent ot the memoriol service for your fother? And besides, it's not like I con't move oround. There's no problem for me to spend o few hours owoy from the hospitol."

Heoring her soy thot ond seeing how she insisted on going, Toby pondered for o moment before finolly ogreeing to it. After oll, he hod never let her meet his porents before, so now it wos time to let her meet them. "Alright then, I'll toke you there," he soid while stroking her hoir.

"Uh-huh," Sonio replied. "Just coll Grondmo bock, or she'll be sleeping in o moment."

"Alright, I'll coll her," Toby soid while toking out his phone before colling Rose. At this moment, there wosn't much time left until when Rose wos supposed to sleep, so they would hove to woit until tomorrow if they didn't coll her right now.

Soon ofterword, the phone coll to Rose wos onswered; Toby put the phone on speoker so thot Sonio could listen to the phone conversotion.

Rose's omioble ond cheerful voice sounded through the phone. "Sonny, why coll me ot such o lote hour?"

Toby's lips twitched. Is Grondmo soying thot on purpose? I mode this phone coll from my own number! I simply don't believe she didn't notice it, but she ignores me ond soys it's Little Leof who mode the phone coll. Do I still exist in her mind's eye?

Seeing the mon's dorkened hondsome foce, Sonio snorted into loughter with her hond over her mouth. She soid to the other end of the phone, "Grondmo, we didn't rouse you from sleep, did we?"

"No, you didn't," Rose replied with a smile. "The older I get, the more trouble I have falling asleep, so I'm still in good spirits right now. You two didn't rouse me from sleep; on the contrary, I'm very happy that you could call and speak with me."

"That's great! We were worried that we might disturb you in your sleep," Sonia said with a smile. "Well, Grandma, Mary just told us that you called Toby in the afternoon and asked him to call you back after he woke up, which is why Toby's made this phone call right now."

At this moment, Toby finally spoke up. "Grandma, you called me for the sake of Father's death anniversary, right?"

A look of grief and desolation instantly came over Rose's smiling face when she heard the words 'death anniversary.' After all, Homer was her son. It had pained her enough to see her son die earlier than

herself, and the yearly anniversary of her son's passing made her feel as though her heart were being gouged out. Even so, she had to face up to this, as she couldn't forget about her son. "Yeah, your father's death anniversary is coming in three days." She let out a sigh. "I wanted to ask you what your plans are for this year."

Instead of answering her question immediately, Toby said, "Grandma, I already know who killed Father."

Rose tightened her grip on the phone after hearing this, but her face didn't show much change in emotion. Obviously, she already knew about this long ago. This was understandable; after all, she was a mother, so how could she not investigate how her son had died? Perhaps she had learned a long time ago who the murderer was, but she had never revealed it or taken action.

After not hearing her reply for a long time, Toby guessed what she was thinking, and his thin lips parted. He asked, "Grandma, you already knew about this, didn't you?"

The instant he said so, Sonia looked at the phone in surprise. Toby had told her that he had yet to tell Rose about this.

Silence instantly filled the air. Sonia and Toby could only hear the sound of Rose's breathing coming through the phone. Otherwise, they would've hung up the phone, thinking that Rose had fallen asleep.

Just when Toby was about to repeat the question, Rose finally spoke after a long time. "That's right. I learned about this five years ago."

Toby's pupils shrank. "Five years ago!" Homer passed away 12 years ago, and it took him 12 years to find the murderer behind the scenes, but little did he think that Rose had learned about it five years

ago. "But why didn't you tell me?" he asked in bafflement as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

How could Rose not know what Toby was thinking? She let out a sigh, saying, "Toby, do you think I didn't want to tell you about this? No, that wasn't the case. It was my son who died, so I'm more anguished than anyone else and hate Connor more than anyone else does. But why have I been holding back from saying it the whole time? It was all for your sake!"

"For my sake?" Toby's pupils trembled.

Sonia looked at him with concern. "It's okay. Let's listen to what Grandma says first."

"Uh-huh," Toby mumbled.

Rose let out a sigh. "Toby, now that you're no longer under hypnosis, you should know how unreasonable you were during the six years you spent under hypnosis. It was like you had no regard for any laws and regulations in your mind during those six years, and everything you did was as ruthless as possible with almost no care for the consequences. You were just a robot who had no morals and no regard for the law. How could I dare to tell you about this when you were such a person? I was worried that you'd act recklessly by taking action directly against the Salzburg Family without any consideration for the hundreds of thousands of employees at the Fuller Group and the Salzburg Group. If you did that, not only would you ruin the accomplishments your grandpa had made to shield our family, but you'd also ruin the families of hundreds of thousands of employees by making them lose their jobs. Moreover, even you would pay the price for what you did by going to jail. Do you understand that?"

The instant she said so, Toby's lips parted, but he was at a loss for a reply. Indeed, if he had learned about how Homer died when he was still under hypnosis, he would definitely wage an economic war

against Connor right away to avenge his father's death without much hesitation. As for how many people would get hurt or be displaced because of the economic war, it would be none of his business. But now that he was back to normal, he definitely couldn't bring himself to do so.

Sonia agreed with what Rose said, too. "Grandma's right. You were indeed capable of doing that when you were under hypnosis. It was like how you covered for Tina and helped her get away when we first divorced despite knowing that she had repeatedly attempted to kill me. At the time, you'd turn up your nose at any law, as you were an extremely dangerous person. Grandma was right not to tell you about this. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here today; you'd be in jail instead."
