Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 758 - 761: Missing Me?
Just as she opened the office drawer and reached for the medicine bottle, a piercing scream echoed from the corridor.
"AHHH—!"
A mournful scream rose through the air.
Sophie Sullivan and George Stanford shared a glance. She immediately got up and ran out.
In the corridor, Gaby had Minimus Hart’s skirt hem in his jaws, frozen in place. The screaming was coming from Minimus Hart.
She never expected to encounter a ferocious tiger while visiting the doctor’s office to get her dressing changed.
Just as she tried to flee, the tiger had caught the hem of her skirt. Overwhelmed with fear, she screamed involuntarily.
When Sophie Sullivan ran out from George Stanford’s office, she saw what had happened. Minimus Hart’s face was deathly pale, her facial scars especially conspicuous. They looked like centipedes wrapped around her face, utterly terrifying.
Sophie initially thought Gaby was just being mischievous and had scared a nurse. When she saw it was Minimus Hart who was frightened, she slowed her pace.
"Isn’t this Minimus Hart, Chief Hart?" A faint smile touched Sophie’s lips as she approached Minimus Hart.
Gaby was still biting her skirt hem, refusing to let go.
When Sophie returned last night, Minimus Hart had already gone to bed. After breakfast this morning, she had come to the doctor’s office to get her dressing changed.
She had no idea Sophie had returned. She certainly didn’t know that Sophie hadn’t just come back, but had also brought with her an incredibly fierce tiger.
Minimus Hart’s pupils contracted. She looked at Sophie, then back at the large tiger at her feet.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
Humans have reason; they understand restraint. But animals don’t!
"Sophie... you..."
"I forgot to introduce you. This is my pet, Gaby."
Sophie reached out, her movements extremely natural, and affectionately petted Gaby’s large head.
Minimus Hart hardly dared to breathe. Her face was ashen with fear, her gaze glued to Gaby, terrified that he would suddenly open his mouth, reveal his sharp teeth, and pounce to tear at her.
In the corridor, the nurses had all hidden in their offices because of Gaby’s presence.
Even George Stanford was so intimidated he could only cling cautiously to the doorframe, peering out.
Sophie recalled Thomas Shannon’s words. If, as he’d said, Minimus Hart and Raina Bell had been delivered to her so she could vent her anger, then she really needed to test this out. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
She strode out and summoned a man in black. "Go and fetch Thomas Shannon."
The man in black nodded and quickly left.
Inside the castle dining room, Thomas Shannon was having a meal when the man in black quickly entered. "Young Master," the man reported, "the maniac wants you to go to the medical office."
"She wants me to go?" Thomas Shannon put down his knife and fork. He picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth, then turned to look at the man in black. "Are you sure?"
Hadn’t she refused his offer to accompany her to the medical office? Didn’t she have things to discuss with George Stanford?
The man in black nodded solemnly. "Yes, Young Master. The maniac personally requested your presence."
In that case, he’d like to see what new trick she was up to.
Sophie stood at the entrance to the medical office, arms crossed over her chest. Her petal-like lips curved into a faint smile that held three parts coldness and seven parts amusement.
Flanked by men in black, Thomas Shannon strode swiftly towards her. He raised his hands and cupped her face. "Missed me?"
Sophie’s sparkling, beautiful eyes met his deep gaze. "Guess why I asked you here."
"Minimus Hart," Thomas Shannon blurted out without hesitation.
Besides George Stanford, Minimus Hart was also in the medical office; Sophie was bound to encounter her. Her summoning him now was undoubtedly about Minimus Hart.
