Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 654: Ouch, I’m Almost Done

Today’s phone call was initiated by Sophie, asking Diana to contact Summer Sutton.

The relationship between Diana and Summer Sutton has never been smooth; Diana is normally too proud to invite Summer back home, but today she has no choice.

When Summer Sutton and Adrian Walyon entered the room, it was crowded around Sophie Walyon’s bed.

The family doctor and servants were all gathered.

Sophie sat leaning against the bed, her face flushed, brows tightly knit, and looked quite dispirited, appearing extremely ill.

The Doctor was taking his temperature, and the thermometer showed a temperature of 41.5 degrees.

This temperature is already very high; adults at this temperature could struggle, not to mention a child under ten.

Summer Sutton was shocked when she saw the temperature.

Such a severe fever, might this cost him half his life?

"What’s going on with Sophie?" Adrian Walyon stared at Sophie for a moment, then turned to ask Diana beside him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"He was playing by the lake today, likely the ground was icy and slippery, he fell into the water, and after being rescued, he ended up like this." Diana explained.

Sophie leaned against the bed, muttering incoherently, "Am I going to die soon? My head hurts, I’m dizzy, am I dying? Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

His eyelids were always droopy, speaking weakly.

Adrian and Summer Sutton were standing right in the room, but he seemed unaware and kept muttering to himself.

"My brother and sister-in-law haven’t been home for a year, why’s this happening to a good family? Now it’s hard to even meet them. Grandpa, why won’t you let my sister-in-law come back? Mom too, you’re so stubborn."

"Oh, I’m not going to make it, I’ll never see my sister-in-law and brother again. Boo hoo..."

"Is it night already? Why can’t I see anything?"

One sentence and Diana was frightened.

Diana hugged him tightly, calling him "baby, baby," crying her heart out.

Summer Sutton watched silently by the bed, feeling initially sympathetic to Sophie Walyon when she saw the thermometer reading.

However, the more she listened, the more off it seemed.

Why do the child’s words sound like a performance?

Even though a high fever is serious, it’s not an incurable illness, is it worth such despair?

To Summer Sutton, Sophie’s acting was exaggerated and overdone.

Summer Sutton studied him again and again.

Could this kid be faking illness to trick her and Adrian into coming back?

Summer Sutton even doubted if the thermometer was accurate.

Sophie peeked over Diana’s shoulder and made eye contact with Summer Sutton, looking a bit startled.

Then, under her watchful gaze, he rolled his eyes and continued his act in Diana’s arms.

"Oh, my head hurts, hurts...I want my sister-in-law to live here, I want to see her, it’s my last wish."

Even a last wish...

Summer Sutton’s eyebrows twitched; she felt like rushing over to cover his mouth.

Little rascal, what are you talking about?

Sophie didn’t care and continued to make a scene in the room.

Diana couldn’t do anything, just kept comforting him, "Alright, alright, return home, return home, nothing will happen to you, be good, rest well."

Sophie seemed satisfied, lying his head on Diana’s shoulder, sneaking a wink at Summer Sutton.

Summer Sutton stared wide-eyed.

He’s really pretending!
