Pampered by My Secret Husband

Leo quickly picked up the call: ”Miss Cecilia Branford, are you looking for Your Highness?”

”How is Lucifer?” Sophie Sullivan anxiously paced back and forth in the restroom, extremely uneasy.

”Miss Cecilia Branford, the situation of His Highness is not very good...”

”What exactly is going on?” Sophie’s heart, which was hovering, immediately rose to her throat.

Leo still held back a little, ”The situation of His Highness is more serious than expected, so... His Highness cannot personally take your call right now.”

”Leo, stop brushing me off, what exactly is wrong with Lucifer?!” Sophie shouted in a low voice.

”Miss Cecilia Branford, please calm down, His Highness is just feeling unwell, the doctor has already administered an IV drip, and he is resting now.” Leo gently explained.

However, Sophie did not believe, ”Tell me, is Lucifer’s fever still not gone? Has the situation worsened?”

”Miss Cecilia Branford...”

Leo hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Lucifer raise his hand, he had to say to Sophie, ”Miss Cecilia Branford, His Highness has woken up, he wants to speak with you personally.”

After saying that, he handed the mobile phone to Lucifer.

Lucifer coughed lightly before saying, ”Cecilia, did Leo upset you?”

Hearing Lucifer’s voice, although weak, didn’t ease Sophie’s heart much, ”Lucifer, what happened to you?”

”Just sick, don’t worry too much.”

”Is the high fever still not gone?” Sophie paced back and forth in place, ”Lucifer, tell me honestly, don’t lie to me, and don’t hide anything from me.”

Lucifer held his forehead with one hand, suppressing the urge to cough. He picked up the water cup, drank two sips of water to soothe his throat, then said, ”Dear, why would I lie to you? If I say it’s nothing, then there’s definitely nothing. Don’t worry, it’s just a minor ailment, it won’t torment me for long. When you come back, I’ll definitely be a healthy Lucifer.”

”Then I’ll return tomorrow, and you have to get better tomorrow.”

”...”

”Lucifer, why aren’t you speaking?” Sophie furrowed her eyebrows tightly, ”You can’t promise me?”

Aside from a bitter smile, Lucifer had nothing but a bitter smile.

He gradually nodded, ”Okay, I promise you. You’ll come back tomorrow, and I’ll be better tomorrow.”

Sophie laughed, since that was the case, she could be at ease.

”Lucifer, Fluffy couldn’t come to terms and attempted suicide, I’m afraid I can’t return tomorrow. But you must get better, you know?”

Disappointment flashed across Lucifer’s eyes; turns out you can’t come back tomorrow...

He closed his eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, ”Okay, I’ll get better tomorrow, don’t worry. Also, about your friend... wish her a quick recovery from the shadows.”

After hanging up the phone, Sophie walked out from the restroom, raised her head, and saw Thomas Shannon standing not far away, leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette.

She tightened her grip on the mobile phone, as Thomas Shannon turned his head, thin lips exhaling a cloud of smoke, he asked in a bland tone, ”Finished your call?”

Was he eavesdropping on her phone call?

A hint of displeasure crossed Sophie’s heart, ”Thomas Shannon, you...”

”I came looking for you and accidentally overheard it.” To prove his honesty, he raised his eyebrow tips, signaling for her to see for herself, ”The restroom door wasn’t closed tightly, it’s hard not to hear.”

It seemed she really misunderstood him.

Sophie walked outside, Thomas Shannon followed her, to avoid embarrassment, she changed the topic, ”How’s the surgery?”

”Not finished yet.”

The two chatted intermittently, soon arriving outside the Emergency Room.
