Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 742: Chapter 745: Dear, did you not sleep well last night?

Clearing his throat, George Standford played along. ”Isn’t that just it! He’s unconscious and still calling your name. I feel so sorry for him, just looking at him!”

Closing his eyes and speaking nonsense, George Standford patted his own chest after he finished speaking.

Young Master Shannon said he could say whatever he wanted. George had only exaggerated a bit and hadn’t caused him any real harm.

So, he won’t get angry, right?

Sophie was extremely surprised and couldn’t believe it.

When she remained silent for a long time, George Standford said again, ”Fiona, you can’t be so heartless. Young Master Shannon likes you; so many people can see it. How can you be so unappreciative?”

”Just because he likes me, should I like him too?” Sophie’s tone turned cold.

”I didn’t mean that...” George Standford sighed deeply. ”If you really don’t want to come back, then forget it. I’m afraid Young Master Shannon might not even wake up. He’s in a coma from severe injuries and is still calling your name... I suspect there’s a strong chance he won’t make it. It might be better if you don’t come back, so you won’t have to face a cold, lifeless body.”

”Old Mr. Standford, you’re getting more and more outrageous!”

Sophie raised her voice. What did he mean, that he was unconscious from severe injuries and still calling her name?

Is he joking with me?

”Fiona, please come back... Take a last look at him.” George Standford sighed, and his voice weakened.

”Did he ask you to call me?”

Old Mr. Standford wouldn’t be acting so strangely unless someone had made him do it.

Sophie’s voice grew heavy. ”Old Mr. Standford, did Thomas Shannon threaten you?”

”Fiona, no one threatened me. I just felt sorry for him... That’s why I made this call. If you don’t believe me, then forget it. If you regret it later, don’t blame me for not telling you.”

George Standford hung up the phone and patted his chest with one hand.

Would Young Master Shannon think I was cursing him to die with those words?

He had racked his brains to deceive Fiona into coming back.

Sophie held her mobile phone, staring blankly as the screen went black. Is Thomas Shannon really unconscious?

Because of the car accident?

A strange feeling settled in Sophie’s heart. She put down her phone and hugged Gaby’s neck. ”Gaby, what should I do?”

「The next day.」

Sophie went downstairs to the Restaurant with Gaby and saw Lucifer sitting at the head of the table. She said indifferently, ”Good morning, Lucifer.”

”Good morning, dear.”

Lucifer’s smile faltered as his gaze fell on her eyes. ”Dear, did you not sleep well last night?”

Why are her dark circles so prominent?

Why is her complexion so haggard?

”Uh... I had a nightmare.” Sophie propped her head with one hand and closed her eyes slightly.

”About the past?” Lucifer knew she often had strange nightmares about the memories she’d lost.

Hearing she’d had a nightmare last night, he squeezed her hand worriedly.

Sophie shook her head and looked up. Meeting Lucifer’s concerned gaze, she suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

”Cecilia, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. I will be your best listener.”

”Lucifer.” Sophie put down her hand and sat upright.

”Hm?”

Lucifer gently squeezed her soft, delicate hands, his handsome brows furrowing slightly. Why are her hands so cold?

”Lucifer, I want to return to Country A.”

Time seemed to freeze.

Even the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

After a long silence, Lucifer finally uttered a reluctant humph.
