The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 53

If this was the past, Susan Shelby would have yielded instantaneously upon seeing Julian Shaw's raging expression.

However, she discovered in astonishment that she did not fear Julian in her heart now as much as she used t o.

"Julian, consider this a favor to me, alright?" Susan stared at Julian in a pleading manner.

She did not want anything bad to happen to Luke Jenkins.

After all, she used to love him so deeply in the past. She just could not bring herself to ignore Luke now.

Julian wanted to reject Susan's plea but he was utterly incapable of voicing his rejection upon seeing her misty-eyed look.

After a long while, Julian grunted coldly once. "I’m only doing this once and for all."

He agreed just as such.

Susan's eyes lit up as she nodded continuously.

Madam Jenkins felt relieved upon taking care of the issue with Julian. She hastily left along with the others and even closed the door considerately.

"Susie."

"Susie.”

Luke was still holding on to Susan's hand tightly.

Susan looked at him with a rather gentle gaze. "I'm here."

Luke's expression relaxed at once.

"Ms. Shelby, please pacify Mr. Jenkins. I'm going to perform some examinations on him," said the doctor.

"Alright," Susan answered softly.

The doctor began bustling about while Susan continued to hold on to Luke's hand. She would speak to him every once in a while to soothe his emotions.

The head and neck examination was a complicated procedure. The doctor used his equipment to perform a rather meticulous examination for Luke.

"Doctor, what's happening to him?" said Susan with a bit of a complicated look on her face.

"The accident earlier caused some injuries to his brain. Judging from the results, I'd say that these injuries concentrated and flared up today due to some trigger," said the doctor.

"So, what's going to happen to him?" Susan felt quite anxious.

"It's very difficult to predict issues related to the brain. We can only wait and see if he can regain consciousness on his own now. Ms. Shelby, your presence is very helpful in stabilizing his emotions.

Next, I'm afraid that we might need you to accompany him at all times until he regains his consciousness."

"Sure," Susan agreed without the slightest hesitation. 1

The doctor nodded and left the room gently without making any noise, leaving Susan and Luke in their privacy.

Susan stared gently at Luke's distorted expression from pain. A look of complicated emotions flashed past his eyes.

She stretched out her hand and smoothed out Luke’s furrowed brows gently.

It had been a very long time since she had taken a proper look at this man.

'Luke, even though you and I are not destined to be together, you'll be good now. You must be good.'

'Only by doing so, my love for you in the past will not b e in vain.'

Susan looked at him. Her gaze slowly entered a trance.

She could still clearly remember the first time she met Like.

Luke was different from the domineering Julian because he was always gentle-mannered.

He treated everyone politely and the smile on his lips was always in the perfect angle.

Everyone talked about how Luke was really a great person.

Yet, she felt that Luke was kind to everyone but in reality, he was heartless to every person.

She suddenly found herself curious about how Luke would be when he had truly fallen in love with a person.

She bet by then, his smile would surely be so warm and affectionate, it would melt his lover, right?

At the time, she was young and reckless, brave and fearless so she began taking the offensive toward Luke confidently.

She would confess her love for Luke every day.

Luke rejected her once, twice, countless times.
