Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 616: Chapter 619: Your Highness, are you alright?

Thomas Shannon nodded and put the steak into his mouth.

He chewed elegantly, swallowed, then smiled. ”It’s not bad.”

Sophie Sullivan stared at him suspiciously. How could it taste good when it was so burnt? Was he sure he wasn’t messing with her?

”You try it.”

It all happened in a flash. Sophie Sullivan wanted to dodge, but Thomas Shannon’s hand had already reached her. He cupped her jaw with one hand and fed the steak into her mouth with the other.

Sophie Sullivan’s eyes widened. The steak in her mouth was hard and bitter. It wasn’t tasty at all!

Thomas Shannon covered her lips with one hand and chuckled. ”Delicious?”

Sophie Sullivan hastily pried his hand away and spat it into the trash bin.

She picked up the kettle from the tea table, poured herself a cup of water, and guzzled down two mouthfuls. Only then did the strange taste in her oral cavity completely disappear.

Thomas Shannon chuckled, slinging an arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his embrace. ”Want more?”

Sophie Sullivan turned her head away and snorted.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. ”Young Master, the midnight snack is ready.”

”Come in.”

The servants pushed the door open. Thomas Shannon signaled them to clear the steaks from the tea table. After the servants tidied the tea table, they placed the new midnight snack prepared by the Chief Chef upon it.

Then, they withdrew.

Thomas Shannon caressed Sophie Sullivan’s face with one hand, his voice low. ”If you knock it over again, you’ll have nothing to eat.”

Sophie Sullivan: ”...”

Finally, Sophie Sullivan had no energy left to make a fuss. She ate the midnight snack, washed up, and then lay down to sleep.

Just as Thomas Shannon drew close to her, she kicked him off the bed. ”Mother said boys and girls shouldn’t sleep together.”

Without warning, Young Master Shannon, who had been kicked off the bed, climbed up from the ground, his handsome face dark. ”Our Mum must be a natural chatterbox.”

「Country F.」

As soon as Lucifer returned to the manor, he was immediately surrounded by doctors.

”Your Highness, are you alright?”

”Your Highness, please let us do a physical examination for you.”

Lucifer’s face was pale. He weakly raised a hand to his forehead. ”I’ll go see Gaby first.”

”Your Highness, Gaby is recovering well. Your health is the most important thing,” the doctor advised, not wanting him to waste too much time.

His health condition had been under control, but this fainting spell could very well endanger his life. The doctor had to take this seriously.

Leo also persuaded, ”Your Highness, please listen to the doctor. Don’t you want to take care of Miss Cecilia Branford anymore?”

Don’t I want to take care of Cecilia Branford anymore? No, of course I do. I want to take care of her for a lifetime...

”Your Highness, without a healthy body, how can you take care of Miss Cecilia Branford? Aren’t you keeping this from her now precisely so you can recover your health, return to her side, and take care of her? If your body isn’t restored now, she won’t be able to see you... With Thomas Shannon still by her side, Miss Cecilia Branford might be bullied by him.”

The moment he heard that Miss Cecilia Branford might be bullied by that fellow Thomas Shannon, Lucifer’s handsome brows knitted together tightly.

With a calm gaze, he looked at the doctor and nodded. ”Begin.”

The doctors simultaneously sighed in relief. ”Yes, Your Highness!”

The medical team conducted a thorough physical examination for Lucifer. At the same time, the Duchess, who had heard that her precious son’s illness had relapsed, was so worried she couldn’t sit still and immediately rushed over from the Capital City with Duke Charles.
