Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 890 - 892: Sophie Sullivan, Answer My Question

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I’m calling Leo."

She called Leo’s phone, but it was also turned off.

Sophie Sullivan controlled her emotions, trying not to let her mind wander, and continued calling Derek Clark.

Derek quickly picked up the call, "Miss Cecilia Branford, what’s wrong?"

At this time, it was already deep at night. Derek, upon receiving her call, worried that something might have happened to her.

His tone was anxious and concerned.

"Derek, can you reach Lucifer? How is he doing now?"

"His Highness Lucifer?" Derek was taken aback and immediately reassured her, "Miss Cecilia Branford, don’t worry. I’ll contact the guards around His Highness immediately, and as soon as I get any news, I’ll let you know."

"Okay."

Sophie hung up the phone, anxiously holding her mobile phone tightly, waiting for news from Derek.

On the other end, Lucifer was undergoing surgery.

His phone had been turned off, as the imposter’s announcement of the wedding date also made Lucifer apprehensive.

He was worried that Sophie would find out that the imposter was going to marry her fiance and would come to question him, so he chose to avoid it.

Powering off.

Not only that, but he also had Leo turn off his phone. Unable to contact him, Sophie would inevitably try to contact Leo.

Unexpectedly, the two phone turn-offs made Sophie extremely worried.

From the guards, Derek learned that Lucifer was undergoing surgery. Though happy for His Highness, he had to keep it confidential.

At that time, the year His Highness left, he hadn’t told Miss Cecilia Branford that he went to seek treatment.

Nowadays, there’s even less need to let Miss Cecilia Branford know about his illness, adding unnecessary worry to her.

Unable to tell the truth, what kind of excuse could dispel Miss Cecilia Branford’s suspicions?

This became a conundrum.

Derek called Sophie back, "Miss Cecilia Branford, His Highness is currently attending a royal banquet, and his phone has been turned off. He’s fine, don’t worry."

"Is that so?" Sophie was half-believing, half-doubting.

Is the royal banquet so high-grade that even phones aren’t allowed to be on?

"Yes, Miss Cecilia Branford. You’ve lost your memory, so there are things you don’t know. The royal banquet is very strict, and naturally, there are many requirements. Please understand." Derek deceived as best as he could, anyhow Miss Cecilia Branford lost her memory and wouldn’t inquire whether phones are allowed during the banquet.

Even if she eventually learns the truth and knows he was deceiving her, by that time His Highness Lucifer would help explain away his actions.

Overall, what he needed to do now was to appease Miss Cecilia Branford, and as for any issues later, they could be dealt with afterward.

Since it was Derek saying it, Sophie naturally believed it.

As long as Lucifer was fine, she was finally relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Sophie raised her hand, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and lifted her eyelids, seeing Thomas Shannon staring at her intently.

Sophie pulled her neck back and said, "Thomas Shannon, why are you staring at me like that?"

Thomas Shannon snorted and said sourly, "When will you care about me like you care about Lucifer?"

Just because of a bad dream, she couldn’t reach Lucifer, and she got so anxious she was dripping with cold sweat, absent-minded.

If only she could care about him as much as Lucifer, he wouldn’t get jealous over some irrelevant man.

Sophie lightly coughed and mumbled softly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. I feel sticky and uncomfortable. I need to take a bath."

As she said this, she lifted the silk quilt and was about to get out of bed. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Thomas Shannon grabbed her wrist again, "Sophie, answer my question."
