She gently touched Fluffy Zane’s face, "Fluffy, are you feeling a little better?"

Fluffy Zane nodded, her voice choked up, "Mum, I’ve made you worry."

"It’s good that you can think it through... Your body is your own, don’t push it too hard, okay?"

During these days of illness, she had lost her appetite completely, barely eating anything, even when forced to, she only managed to take a few bites.

Her body couldn’t take it anymore, so the doctor gave her nutrient solution to sustain her life.

Fluffy Zane nodded, feeling guilty upon seeing the exhausted look on Mrs. Zane’s face.

Because of her, her parents were constantly worried.

Mrs. Zane looked at Sophie Sullivan with a smile, "Miss Sullivan, please stay for dinner tonight. With you here, Fluffy might eat a bit more. Otherwise, if she loses more weight, I won’t dare let her go out, for fear a strong wind might blow her away."

Sophie Sullivan instinctively wanted to refuse, recalling Thomas Shannon’s gloomy face as if he wanted to swallow her whole before she left home.

If she stayed for dinner and let Thomas Shannon eat alone, wouldn’t he be furious and want to beat her up?

But... seeing Mrs. Zane’s expectant look, she had no choice but to agree bravely.

Mrs. Zane clasped her hands joyfully, "Great, I’ll personally cook some of my best dishes for you to taste."

...

Six o’clock in the evening.

Thomas Shannon came down from the study room, glanced around, and didn’t see Sophie Sullivan.

Only Harry lay on the sofa, sleeping soundly.

Thomas Shannon poked at Harry’s belly with one hand, frowned, and asked the servant, "Where’s the maniac?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Young Master, the maniac hasn’t come back yet." The servant lowered her head fearfully.

Still not back?

She’s been gone for a whole day; is she planning to stay at the Zane Family’s house?!

"Call her and ask when she’s coming back."

Even though the servant didn’t understand why the Young Master didn’t call himself, knowing he was angry, she wouldn’t dare to ask, even with a hundred times the courage.

The servant called Sophie Sullivan, and after hanging up, said, "Young Master, the maniac said she’s not coming back to eat tonight, and told you to have dinner by yourself."

Not coming back?

Hah, impressive!

An important Gaby is one thing, now even a Fluffy Zane is more important than him.

In her heart, what does he count for?

Thomas Shannon’s handsome face was frighteningly somber, his voice cold and tense, squeezing out through his teeth, "Tell her to come back immediately, don’t forget George Stanford’s instructions to her. If she eats outside food and the wound has any issues, she will bear the consequences."

When Sophie Sullivan received the call and heard the servant’s rigid admonition, she knew it was directed by Thomas Shannon.

She chuckled lightly, her voice soft, "Fortunately, you reminded me, it’s still in time. No more talking, I’ll go back after dinner."

After saying that, Sophie Sullivan hung up the phone.

At the same time, Mrs. Zane was aware of Sophie Sullivan’s dietary restrictions and avoided spicy and dark foods and seasonings when cooking.

Upon hearing Sophie Sullivan’s words, the servant was near tears, tremblingly putting down the phone, "Young Master... the maniac said, luckily you reminded her about the dietary restrictions, she’ll come back after dinner."

Very good.

Sophie Sullivan’s courage grows day by day, her heart wilder each day.

He can’t control her anymore, can’t restrain her.

Thomas Shannon rose, stepping outside; Charlie River saw this and immediately asked, "Young Master, dinner is almost ready, where are you going?"
