Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 510: Chapter 513: Nobody mentions it, but everyone keeps it in their heart

What happened between her and Thomas Shannon that night?

Sophie Sullivan recalled, ”That night, the tent was blown over, and Thomas Shannon and I were also knocked down. He held me as the wind constantly blew us, making us tumble, and then... then I lost consciousness.”

After speaking, she looked at Charlie River. ”What about you guys? When Thomas Shannon and I woke up the next day, we couldn’t see any of you.”

”We were scattered by the wind, and those Arabians disappeared too. The desert is too vast, so we didn’t dare move around looking for the Young Master. Therefore, we had to return first. After we returned, we immediately sent people into the desert to rescue the Young Master.”

A relieved expression appeared on Charlie River’s face. ”Fortunately, we arrived in time, so nothing happened to the Young Master. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to explain ourselves to Mr. and Mrs.”

Sophie Sullivan nodded. That was indeed the case.

If anything had happened to Thomas Shannon, none of them could have borne the consequences.

Charlie River turned, poured her a cup of water, and handed it to her. ”Maniac, I think you’re tired too. Why don’t you go back to the hotel and rest first?”

Sophie glanced at the unconscious Thomas Shannon, thought for a moment, then shook her head. ”I’d rather stay here and wait for him to wake up.”

After all, he’d had this accident trying to rescue her. How could she heartlessly go and rest while he hadn’t woken up yet?

The corners of Charlie River’s mouth curved up uncontrollably. He nodded and said earnestly, ”If you’re tired, go and rest. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

With that, he left the ward.

「A few hours later.」

Thomas Shannon finally woke up.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a dust-covered Sophie Sullivan.

”Thomas Shannon, you’re awake?” Sophie Sullivan’s face lit up with joy as she leaned closer. ”Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”

Thomas Shannon looked at her with cold eyes, his gaze sweeping over her. ”Are you alright?”

”I’m perfectly fine.” Sophie Sullivan leaned her head forward again. ”I’m asking you, do you feel any discomfort?”

Thomas Shannon raised his hand and pushed her dirt-smudged face away. ”You’re hideous. Stay away from me.”

Sophie Sullivan: ”...”

Any trace of gratitude in her heart shattered instantly!

Ugly? He dared to call her ugly?

Sophie rolled up her sleeves and snorted coldly. ”Thomas Shannon, I challenge you to a duel!”

Thomas Shannon slowly closed his eyes, a faint smile playing on his sexy, thin lips. ”...It’s good that you’re alright.”

Sophie Sullivan’s bravado instantly vanished.

Thomas Shannon remained under observation in the hospital for a day before immediately boarding a private jet back to Country A.

Neither he nor Sophie mentioned what had happened in the desert.

Neither brought it up, yet both held it in their hearts.

「Zane Family home.」

Fluffy Zane brought freshly steeped tea to William Guillen. He was engrossed in flipping through a tattered, burnt notebook.

”What is this?”

Fluffy Zane curiously leaned her head over to look. William Guillen pushed her head away. ”Don’t get too close. This thing is full of dust; there’s nothing interesting to see.”

”Then what are you looking at?” Fluffy Zane pouted. If there was nothing interesting, why was he so absorbed?

William Guillen replied enigmatically, ”Looking at the writing.”

Fluffy Zane took the tea from the tray and placed it on the tea table. ”I’ve made tea for you. Remember to drink it.”

Then, she picked up the tray and turned to go into the kitchen.

The mobile phone on the tea table rang. William Guillen picked hers up. ”Fluffy, your phone.”

”Coming right away.”
