Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 796: Chapter 798: What to do, it seems like I owe you more now.

Ever since the fake Cecilia of Onassis woke up in the Onassis Old Castle, Lucifer had only visited her once.

Lucifer and Cecilia Branford had been childhood sweethearts, almost inseparable. However, Lucifer’s current actions were suspicious.

After Cecilia Branford woke up from a severe car accident, she had lost her memory. Lucifer hadn’t been by her side during her most frightened and helpless moments.

Instead, he had gone abroad... This inevitably made people suspect he had discovered something.

Just before receiving Sophie Sullivan’s telephone call, Lucifer had already taken a call from the Duchess, questioning why he wasn’t accompanying Cecilia.

Lucifer knew the inside story but couldn’t reveal it.

He could only offer a perfunctory agreement to the Duchess’s request, promising to return to Country F as soon as possible.

「More than forty minutes later.」

Leo opened the room door. Sophie Sullivan, wearing a mask, came in, Gaby rushing in ahead of her.

Gaby pounced on Lucifer, who was sitting on the sofa. Lucifer hugged Gaby’s neck and patted its head. ”Gaby, did you miss me?”

Gaby howled and rubbed against him affectionately.

”Lucifer, I have some good news for you!” Sophie Sullivan’s voice rose with uncontrollable excitement.

Lucifer gestured for Gaby to quiet down. He lay on the sofa, watching Sophie Sullivan silently.

His deep blue eyes were incredibly gentle as he asked, ”What good news?”

”Look!” Sophie Sullivan removed her mask with one hand, revealing her face.

Surprise flickered in Lucifer’s eyes for a moment, then a smile immediately filled them. He struggled to get up. ”Cecilia, have all your blood scabs fallen off?”

”Yes.” Sophie Sullivan tossed her mask aside. She trotted over to Lucifer, cupped her face, and tilted her head down for him to see. ”Look, isn’t it recovering well?”

Lucifer’s fingertips gently caressed her face. Although the terrifying dark scars were gone, her skin was still rough and couldn’t compare to smooth skin.

But the good news was that its color had already blended with her natural skin tone.

Lucifer stood up and embraced her, his chin resting on the crown of her head. ”Cecilia, I’m genuinely happy for you. Your face will definitely return to its original state, I’m sure of it.”

He looked forward to seeing her radiant once more.

”I know.” Sophie Sullivan leaned into his embrace, her voice firm. ”I will definitely return to my former self and regain my memories. I won’t let those who harmed me know a moment’s peace.”

Sophie Sullivan closed her eyes. She would take back everything that belonged to her! She wouldn’t let a single one of those who harmed her off lightly.

”Cecilia, I have some bad news for you.” Lucifer stroked her head, a hint of regret in his touch, then released her.

Sophie Sullivan looked up. ”What news?”

”I have to return to Country F soon.”

”Why?”

”After Cecilia of Onassis woke up, I only visited her once. I have to go see her, so as not to arouse suspicion. Also, the neurologist I found for you is ready. When I get back, I’ll have him come and give you an examination.”

He knew her stubborn nature; she would want to restore her looks first before even thinking about recovering her memory.

Since Lucifer was returning, he had to appease the fake Cecilia and ensure those lurking in the shadows didn’t become suspicious. Therefore, he needed to set his plans in motion.

He would send the neurologist to her, aiming for her to recover her memories even as her appearance was being restored.

”Lucifer, what should I do? I feel like I owe you even more now.”
