Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 709 - 712: Cecilia Branford is coming back, are you happy?

The medicine would take more than ten minutes to kick in. Before then, Sophie Sullivan had to do something to distract herself.

Otherwise, she would be in agony.

Thinking of the harsh words he had uttered earlier, Sophie Sullivan withdrew from his embrace. "I didn’t ask you for help."

She spoke slowly, but each word was clear and articulate.

Thomas Shannon raised an eyebrow but showed no anger. "So?"

"You can leave."

Sophie Sullivan lay down by herself, quietly waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Thomas Shannon took her cold, tiny hand, his grip tightening slightly. "Still angry?"

He had already tried to make amends. What more did she want?

This temper of hers was really unlikable.

Sophie Sullivan closed her eyes, preferring to be out of sight, out of mind.

Since she had closed her eyes, Thomas Shannon also fell silent, staying with her for a while. When her furrowed brow finally smoothed, he knew the painkillers had taken effect.

"Take a good rest." With that, Thomas Shannon got up and left.

The door opened and then closed, plunging the room back into silence.

Sophie Sullivan slowly opened her eyes and called for the nurse...

「Country F.」

Lucifer knew today was the day of Sophie Sullivan’s second reparative surgery. She didn’t have a mobile phone at the moment, so to avoid exposure, she was the only one who could contact him.

He had been waiting, and Gaby seemed to sense his anxiety as well. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Gaby raised a paw, resting it on his shoulder, its large head continually nuzzling his face.

Lucifer didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Patting Gaby, he said, "Alright, Gaby. I need some quiet."

Gaby indeed stopped its affectionate pestering and quietly laid its head on Lucifer’s lap.

Lucifer held his mobile phone, idly turning it over in his hand as he waited for it to ring.

Finally, the mobile phone rang.

Joy flashed across his face as he quickly answered the call. "Hello."

"Lucifer, it’s me."

Sophie Sullivan’s voice, soft and tinged with weakness, reached him through the receiver.

"Cecilia, how are you feeling?"

"The anesthesia has worn off, and my face really hurts... But don’t worry, I’ve already taken a painkiller."

Lucifer touched his forehead, his expression clouded with self-reproach and guilt. "I’m really sorry that I can’t be by your side to take care of you when you need me most."

"Lucifer, I won’t blame you. Remember our plan; it has to be foolproof." Sophie Sullivan’s eyes flashed with unwavering determination.

Damn Thomas Shannon, go to hell!

She wouldn’t beg him, nor would she stay by his side again.

Whether it was Minimus Hart or Raina Bell, she was done with all of them! She wouldn’t be serving anyone anymore!

Lucifer nodded solemnly. "Dear, rest assured. Our plan is guaranteed to be foolproof, and I’ll bring you back to our country safely."

Although there would be spies from Onassis Old Castle watching his every move, shaking off these little tails wouldn’t be difficult.

He would bring Cecilia Branford back home.

And then, he would properly punish the ones who had bullied her.

Cecilia Branford wasn’t someone just anyone could bully. If they wanted to try, they’d have to see if he, Lucifer, would allow it!

After chatting with Sophie Sullivan for a while, Lucifer heard the exhaustion and weakness in her voice and considerately ended the call.

He put down his mobile phone. Resting a hand against his smooth, full forehead, his scarlet thin lips curved into a pleased smile.

A low, deep, joyful chuckle escaped his lips.

His long-awaited wish was finally coming true.

This time, he would plan everything carefully, without a single mistake.

With this in mind, Lucifer hugged Gaby tightly. "Gaby, Cecilia is coming back. Are you happy?"
