Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 508: Chapter 511: Do you like me, even just a little bit?

Sophie Sullivan was sure that she hadn’t shed as many tears in a year as she had today.

There was a suffocating feeling in her chest that choked her, making her extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of suffocation surged like a tidal wave, driving her mad.

”Thomas Shannon, you bastard... you’re a thorough bastard...”

Why did he deceive her?

Why did he tell her those words, which seemed like last words on his deathbed?

Why? Why!

Sophie kicked the tiger that was pinning her down, staring at it fiercely. ”Get off me!”

The tiger let out a howl, its voice gradually weakening.

But it still didn’t let go of her.

Sophie kept kicking it. ”Get off! If you don’t, I’ll kill you!”

Not far away, Thomas Shannon was trapped in the quicksand, watching the insane Sophie. Seeing her anxious appearance, he felt relieved.

She wasn’t heartless.

Her heart was like a clear mirror, and she could feel who was kind to her more than anyone else.

”Maniac...” Thomas Shannon called out to her.

Sophie couldn’t see him; she could only hear his increasingly weak voice. He must be sinking deeper.

Thinking of this, her tears fell like beads from a broken thread, rolling down ceaselessly.

”I’m here, Thomas Shannon, I’m here!”

”Do you remember when I promised to have George Stanford treat your face, and you said you would grant me a request?”

”I remember.” Whatever his request was, she had agreed to it.

”Unfortunately, I’m running out of time to exercise my power now...”

Sophie Sullivan’s heart felt as if it were being gripped by someone, hurting terribly. ”Whatever you want me to do, just say it and I’ll make sure to complete it!”

Anything you ask, I’ll make sure to do it.

Definitely!

I won’t go back on my word!

”No... I don’t have time for that request anymore. If I get a chance in the next life, I’ll come find you to fulfill it...”

Next life?

The conversation became increasingly melancholic.

Sophie Sullivan couldn’t help but sniffle. ”Thomas Shannon, don’t you love me?”

”Mm.” At the other end, Thomas Shannon’s low voice finally came through.

It was the first time, the first time he admitted he liked her.

In the past, whenever she asked if he liked her, he always responded with a smile. Otherwise, he would deliberately change the subject. This time, he admitted it straightforwardly, without the slightest hesitation.

But Sophie’s heart ached more than ever...

He confessed his feelings for her, just as his time was running out...

”Thomas Shannon, why are you so foolish?”

From the other end, Thomas Shannon’s increasingly weak voice rang out. ”...Maniac, do you love me? Even just a little?”

Sophie grabbed the hateful tiger with both hands, nodding wildly. ”I love you, I do!”

Thomas Shannon let out a low, deep laugh. ”...That’s enough.”

That’s enough?

It didn’t sound like something the arrogant and invincible Young Master Shannon would say.

Was that really enough?

No, it wasn’t enough.

He couldn’t die. He had to live.

”Thomas Shannon, I’m telling you, it’s not enough! It’s far from enough!” she screamed desperately, as if afraid he couldn’t hear her. ”Don’t you want to marry me? Don’t you want to have a child with me? Don’t die, please don’t die, okay?”

”I want to marry you, of course, and I want you to bear my child even more... But there’s no time. Maniac, I can’t make it...”

As soon as Thomas Shannon’s voice fell, no matter how Sophie called out or promised, his voice never sounded again.
