Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 502 - 505: I have a premonition that it won’t hurt us.

She took a pack of self-heating food, tore open the packaging, opened the self-heating bag, and then sealed the opening.

The self-heating pack instantly expanded, and Thomas Shannon handed it to her. "Just wait for 15 minutes and it’ll be ready to eat."

Sophie Sullivan nodded, indicating she understood.

Just as she was patiently waiting for her gourmet meal to be ready, Thomas Shannon’s expression grew serious. He took out a pistol and quickly loaded it.

The metallic sound put Sophie Sullivan on alert as well. Could there be some danger?

"What’s going on?" she asked in a low voice.

Thomas Shannon gestured for her to be quiet. Sophie Sullivan immediately held her breath, and Thomas Shannon signaled for her to hide behind him.

She did as she was told and hid behind Thomas Shannon. She cautiously looked around but saw no suspicious people or sources of danger.

"Thomas Shannon, what’s wrong?" she couldn’t help but ask curiously, her voice low.

"There’s a beast," Thomas Shannon replied tersely. He hoped it wasn’t what he imagined—a pack of wild animals roaming the area.

There were only ten bullets in the bullet magazine.

If it was a pack of beasts, he could hardly guarantee Sophie Sullivan’s safety.

The word "beast" jarred Sophie Sullivan’s sensitive nerves, and she stiffened.

How could there be wild animals here? It wasn’t yet dark; shouldn’t wild animals appear a little later? To think, they hadn’t died from thirst or hunger, only to potentially become dinner for wild beasts.

As Sophie Sullivan was lost in thought, a massive and ferocious tiger appeared on the sand dunes.

Thomas Shannon narrowed his eyes. He held the pistol firmly in one hand and, with the other, pulled Sophie Sullivan behind him, shielding her from the tiger.

The tiger was not part of a pack; it was the only one that appeared on the sand dunes.

The tiger stood on the sand dune, staring intently at the two of them. Suddenly, it raised its head, let out a roar, and then charged down the slope at full speed.

The muzzle of Thomas Shannon’s pistol was already aimed at the tiger.

Inexplicably, Sophie Sullivan emerged from behind Thomas Shannon, looking at the ferocious tiger with blank eyes.

"Maniac, have you gone mad?" Seeing her trying to approach the tiger, Thomas Shannon’s heart leaped into his throat.

With a firm grip on her wrist, he yanked her back behind him.

"Thomas Shannon!" Sophie Sullivan screamed. She didn’t know what was wrong with herself; her heart was pounding violently.

She stared blankly at the tiger. "Don’t kill it!"

Thomas Shannon’s eyes glinted fiercely. "Mercy now will get us killed!"

"No, I’m begging you, don’t kill it..." Sophie Sullivan trembled all over, her voice breaking.

Thomas Shannon also realized something was wrong with her. She seemed to be terrified, yet there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes.

She was trembling violently, and even her fingertips had turned icy cold.

"Maniac, what in the world is wrong with you?"

Sophie Sullivan looked at him and gave a pale smile. "Thomas Shannon, do you believe me? I have a feeling it won’t hurt us."

Thomas Shannon didn’t believe her. This was a tiger, not a weak cat like Harry. Although a tiger is a feline, it’s also the King of the Forest!

"Trust me this once," Sophie Sullivan pleaded. "If it really... hurts us, it won’t be too late for you to kill it then, right?"

Thomas Shannon hesitated. Sophie Sullivan took his hesitation as agreement. She mustered her courage, took a deep breath, and pointed her finger straight at the tiger’s eyes. "Don’t come any closer!"

Thomas Shannon let out an almost inaudible scoff, the pistol in his hand already aimed.
