The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 280

Susan's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her eyeballs rolled around under her eyelids as she was on the verge of waking up.

She would be administered with anesthesia during the surgery, so Julian went light on the dose of hypnotic.

The anesthesia had not been administered, and yet the effect of hypnotic was waning. After Luke had made such a huge ruckus, Susan's eyes fluttered open.

The first thing that greeted her the moment she opened her eyes was the bright surgical light. Involuntarily, she moved her hand on top of her eyes t o shield herself from the light.

She was confused.

She had no idea where she was right now.

Julian's heart was filled with despair when he saw that Susan had awakened.

Susan propped herself up and rubbed her head. When she saw Julian, who was standing at the door, she was even more confused.

"What's wrong, Julian? Why do you look so pale?"

Julian's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His lips were trembling, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Gone was the calm and poised Mr.

Shaw.

"Susie...” Just when Julian was about to say something, a voice interrupted him.

"Susie, don't believe whatever he says. He wants to take away your baby," said Luke as he looked disdainfully at Julian.

He did not understand why a ruthless man like Julian would exist. Susan gave him her entire heart, yet he returned her love in this way.

If he had known earlier, he would never let Susan go.

The more Luke thought about it, the more regretful he got. Right now, he just wanted to take Susan away from this disgusting man forever.

"Take away my child?" Susan still had not come around to her senses yet. She fell into a daze for a moment and then she said, "Impossible."

She did not believe Luke at all.

After all, both of them were looking forward to the arrival of the baby.

Every night, Julian would lay on her stomach to listen to the baby's movements.

Even though the baby was still small and he rarely moved, even if he could not hear anything, Julian still enjoyed it very much.

Not only that, but he would tell a bedtime story to the baby every single night, and he would go around the mall to buy all sorts of baby stuff so that the baby could use it after he or she was born.

He loved the baby so much, so how was there any possibility that he would take it away?

As such, Susan was certain that Luke was lying. She did not know why he would make such a ridiculous, unfounded lie.

She wanted to laugh, but when she saw Julian’s deep gaze, her heart did a flip flop.

She turned around to look at Jacob, and she was stunned to see the complex emotion on her brother’s face.

Both of them did not refute.

Susan felt her heart had traveled to her throat.

Be that as it may, she pressed down the trepidation and forced a smile on her face. She said, "What’s with that face, Julian, Jacob? Luke is lying. Why don't you two say something?" 1

Julian did not say anything. There was pain and struggle in the depth of his eyes.

"Julian?" Susan felt that her heart was jumping even faster.

Luke threw a surreptitious gaze at Julian and said through a stern voice, "Susie, it's true. I'm not lying. Otherwise, why do you think you are in the operating room? If you still don’t believe me, you can ask the nurse and the doctor and see what kind of operation

they are going to do on you.”

There were two voices in Susan's brain now. One of them told her not to trust Luke while another more rational voice told her that she should turn around and ask.

Susan gave in to the rational voice and turned her head around. Her face was pale as she glanced across the rank of doctors and nurses. Her eyes landed on one of them as she asked, "Why am I here? What are you going to do to me?"

The doctor averted his gaze as he did not dare to reply to the question.

"Tell me!" Susan’s voice suddenly raised an octave.
