Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 735: Chapter 738: Tell me, are you sad for Thomas Shannon?

What intrigued him was that Thomas Shannon had been outmaneuvered so surprisingly easily.

It was somewhat inconceivable.

Lucifer always felt that Thomas Shannon wouldn’t fall this easily...

Sophie Sullivan spat out the mangled straw, took a deep breath, set down her fruit juice, and a slight tug at the corner of her lips formed a smirk. ”Great.”

With those words, she rose and walked away.

Lucifer chased after her, grabbing her wrist. Sophie was pulled around to face him. He looked at her and asked, ”Cecilia Branford, tell me, are you upset for Thomas Shannon?”

”I’m not upset; I’m happy. It’s best if he has an accident; then no one will come after me.”

Lucifer raised his hand, lightly caressing her face. ”But your expression tells me you are upset.”

Sophie: ”...”

Upset? Am I? Is it that obvious?

Lucifer cupped her face, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against hers. ”Dear, in front of me, you don’t need to hide. You can be yourself. Say whatever you want, do whatever you want, alright?”

Sophie nodded thoughtfully.

”So,” Lucifer paused, ”tell me, are you upset because of Thomas Shannon’s car accident?”

Sophie bit her lower lip. ”Lucifer, I’m not.”

”Remember what I told you: all your irrational emotions right now are because of Stockholm Syndrome.”

Under his intense gaze, Sophie nodded. ”I know, so I’m trying my best to ignore these terrible emotions.”

”Good girl. Go back and get some sleep. Don’t think about anything.”

Lucifer escorted Sophie back to the bedroom.

Lying down on the bed, Sophie closed her eyes, and Thomas Shannon’s face suddenly appeared in her mind.

She snapped her eyes open, her hands clutching the bedsheet tightly. ”Crazy... This is really crazy!”

Gaby lay by the bedside, its head resting on the bed, as if worried about her. It watched her constantly, refusing to leave or look away.

Sophie sighed and patted the spot next to her. Gaby howled and immediately leaped up.

The mattress sank heavily under its enormous body.

Sophie hugged Gaby’s neck, nuzzling her head against its fur. ”Gaby...”

Gaby seemed to sense its master’s low spirits and kept nuzzling against her, trying to comfort her.

「Study room.」

Lucifer sat on his desk, one long leg resting on the ground. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. ”Leo, is the message confirmed?”

”The message is being reported by all major radio stations in Country A. The specific details of the situation still need further investigation.”

The hospital where Thomas Shannon was located had long been surrounded by three layers of security, both inside and out, rendering it completely impenetrable.

Outside the hospital entrance, countless media members and reporters were camped out, hoping to snag a major scoop.

”Leo, don’t you find it strange?” Lucifer chuckled, exhaling a faint puff of smoke.

Leo nodded solemnly. ”Indeed, there are many suspicious points. The car was tampered with. Even if they didn’t notice it at first, there should have been ways to remedy the situation. However, the surveillance footage in the news report shows Thomas Shannon’s car accelerating towards the greenbelt beside the road, leading to the crash and injuries.”

”Continue.” Lucifer’s lips curved, his smile exceptionally sinister.

With his gentle aura and bewitching temperament, he was like a vampire stepping out of an old castle, seductive and fiendishly charming to the extreme. Every gesture he made exuded a soul-stirring allure.

”Even if Thomas Shannon was injured, it shouldn’t have been publicized so extensively.”
