Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 783: Chapter 785: Give me some benefits, and I will be more willing.

As she led the way out, she looked at William Guillen. ”Enough talk. The priority is getting Fluffy to the medical office!”

The medical office was brightly lit. The doctor and nurse, having received the call, were already prepared.

Fluffy Zane was taken to the room, and the doctor immediately took her temperature.

”Miss Zane has a high fever of 40°C. She must receive an IV drip immediately,” the doctor said, his expression turning grave as he looked at the thermometer. He quickly began preparing the fever-reducing medicine.

William Guillen watched the doctor insert the fine infusion needle into Fluffy Zane’s skin, his brow deeply furrowed. ”How could she suddenly develop such a high fever when she was perfectly fine?”

No wonder, no wonder he had seen her kick off the silk quilt. It turned out she was burning up with fever.

If he hadn’t discovered it in time and had let her burn like this all night, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Sophie Sullivan and Thomas Shannon stood to one side, watching as William Guillen constantly questioned the doctor about various precautions.

Even Sophie couldn’t figure him out. What on earth was William Guillen trying to do? To say he’s a scoundrel is accurate. He passes through a thicket of flowers, yet not a single leaf clings to him. He treats women like clothes, changing them daily. For Fluffy Zane to still love such a man for eight years, steadfast and unwavering, she must have desecrated his family’s ancestral graves in a past life to be so indebted to him. He had always rejected her, so what was all this anxiety and nervousness about now?

”Young Master Guillen, please don’t worry. Miss Zane will be fine once the fever subsides,” the doctor, unable to bear William Guillen’s persistent questioning, reluctantly said.

William Guillen sat by the bedside. After such an ordeal this night, he knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore.

He looked over at Sophie Sullivan and Thomas Shannon. ”Thomas Shannon, I’ll watch over things here. You two should go back and rest.”

Thomas Shannon nodded, put an arm around Sophie Sullivan’s slender waist, and they left.

Initially, Sophie was reluctant to leave, but Thomas Shannon half-coaxed and half-forced her away.

”Thomas Shannon, what do you think William Guillen is up to?” Sophie, feeling too lazy to walk, jumped onto Thomas Shannon’s back again. Nestling her head against his neck, she asked in a low voice.

”He means he cares about Fluffy Zane.”

”I know he’s concerned about Fluffy, but... didn’t he reject Fluffy?”

It’s hard to understand what men are thinking. Can you still be so nervously concerned about someone you’ve rejected?

Sophie couldn’t figure it out and hoped to find an answer from Thomas Shannon.

Who knew, Thomas Shannon gave her an equivocal answer, ”Lan Singh’s and Fluffy Zane’s families are prominent families with long-standing ties. Even if they don’t become lovers, the connection between their families remains. Considering their history and the families’ ties, Lan Singh would not abandon Fluffy Zane.”

That was true, yet Sophie still felt a strange sense of unease.

She sighed softly, feeling as listless as a fish out of water, her energy gone.

Thomas Shannon gently reminded her, ”Your noodles will get mushy...”

”Oh, right!”

Sophie suddenly lifted her head, a look of indignation on her face. ”I haven’t had a single bite yet!”

Thomas Shannon: ”...”

Sophie hugged his neck tightly, shaking him a couple of times. ”I don’t care, Thomas Shannon, you’re making me another bowl.”

”Can I refuse?”

”No!”

”Give me a little something in return, and I’ll do it more willingly.”

”What kind of something?”

”Kiss me.”

The corners of Sophie’s lips curled up slightly, and she promptly pecked him on his handsome face. ”Is that good enough?”

”Not enough.”

SMACK! Sophie asked again, ”Is it good enough now?”

Thomas Shannon shook his head. ”Still not enough.”

Annoyed, Sophie grabbed his handsome face with one hand and bit down on his sexy, thin lips.
