Pampered by My Secret Husband

She always felt that Mrs. Shannon’s glance at her held a deeper meaning, so in order to clear herself of suspicion, she called Cheryl Chew.

”Cheryl, today we’re going to the hospital to see Auntie. No matter what, Auntie had her accident in the villa...”

Raina Bell’s implied meaning was that they also had an unavoidable responsibility.

Even if Raina didn’t say it, Cheryl Chew was also planning to visit Mrs. Shannon at the hospital today. She had already taken leave, and with Raina saying this, it wasn’t appropriate for her to refuse or not to take her along.

”Okay, let’s prepare and head out right away.”

Raina nodded, saying nothing more.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Cheryl Chew and the bodyguard worked together to lift Raina Bell out of the car, opened the wheelchair, and helped her sit comfortably before Cheryl Chew wheeled her into the hospital.

Knock, knock, knock.

Standing outside the door, Cheryl Chew could hear laughter from inside the ward, ”Godmother, my sister and I came to see you.”

The next second, Mrs. Shannon’s voice sounded: ”Cheryl’s here. Come in quickly.”

Cheryl Chew wheeled Raina Bell into the ward, and in the spacious room, she first saw Sophie Sullivan.

Cheryl Chew obediently greeted, ”Godfather, Godmother, Brother Shannon, sister-in-law.”

Raina Bell’s smile froze at the corner of her lips; how come Sophie Sullivan was back?

After a short moment, she immediately reacted, ”Hello, Uncle and Auntie...”

Sophie Sullivan hadn’t expected, upon returning, to see the person she least wanted to encounter.

No matter how, Raina Bell was an eyesore.

Mrs. Shannon squeezed her hand, Sophie Sullivan gave a faint smile and said nothing.

”Cheryl, come, just now your sister-in-law and I were talking about you.”

Cheryl Chew wheeled Raina Bell to the bedside, her face flushing like a little girl, ”Did Godmother tell Sister-in-law about my childhood mishaps?”

”Yes, saying our Cheryl was a timid child, cried if she couldn’t see Godmother.”

”Godmother...” Cheryl Chew playfully protested, her cheeks puffing up in mock annoyance.

Raina Bell’s heart had long since churned up huge waves, sister-in-law?

Cheryl Chew, that fool, was spouting nonsense, who’s her sister-in-law?

Sophie Sullivan leaned half in Thomas Shannon’s embrace, her beautiful eyes lazily glanced at Raina Bell, who was inwardly shocked but outwardly feigning calm.

She tugged at the corner of her lips, wordlessly saying: ”Jumping clown.”

The distance between them wasn’t far, and Raina Bell clearly saw her lip-read.

Was she mocking her as a jumping clown?

The hand resting on her knee secretly clenched, fingernails deeply embedded in her palm.

Stinging her, also reminding her that now wasn’t the time to be angry.

Sophie Sullivan did this simply to provoke her; she couldn’t get angry, getting angry would mean falling into her trap.

Raina Bell smiled, intending to ignore Sophie Sullivan’s provocation, yet Sophie wouldn’t let her off, ”Raina, I heard Aunt had her accident in your villa, could it be at your hands?”

Chatting with Mrs. Shannon, Cheryl Chew suddenly became tense, her smile froze red and embarrassed, stammering in explanation, ”Sister-in-law, no... It’s not like that.”

”I’m asking your sister, don’t be nervous.” Sophie Sullivan squinted with a gentle smile, her soft voice sounding entirely unthreatening.

”Miss Sullivan, are you joking?” Raina Bell’s face turned pale, ”I can’t afford such jokes. Auntie has been kind to me, without Auntie, there wouldn’t be the me of today... Miss Sullivan, how could I repay kindness with harm?”

”Not necessarily, after all, at the very beginning, human nature is evil.”

Raina Bell helplessly shook her head, laughing bitterly, ”Miss Sullivan, hypothetically speaking, even if it were me, may I ask, what would I gain from doing that?”
