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

Chapter 437 She’s Ill

"Susie!"

"Mommy!"

Two gasps echoed simultaneously.

"Grandma, mommy... What happened to mommy?" Chesney's eyes reddened immediately as she looked a t Susan, who had fainted.

"Chessie, it's okay. Mommy’s sleeping because she's too tired." Luna kept Susan in her arms while she comforted Chesney and instructed the chauffeur to drive them home to the Wrights’ house as fast as possible.

As she was staring at Susan’s pallid face, Luna felt her heart ache immensely for her.

'Susie, please be alright.'

Upon returning to the Wrights’ house, Luna asked their private doctor to come instantly. The Wrights’ private doctor was exclusively working for the military, so he was exceptionally professional. Given Luna’s haste and anxiety when she summoned him, h e thought that something serious had happened.

In the end, he could not help sighing in relief after performing a simple checkup with his portable device.

"Mrs. Wright, no need to worry. Your daughter has probably fainted suddenly due to her weak health and the fever. Once the fever subsides, she'll most likely wake up," said the doctor. "I personally don’t see an issue with it, but if you're really concerned, you can take her to the hospital for a full physical checkup after she regains consciousness."

"Are you sure she's fine?" Luna looked at the doctor in uncertainty.

"Don't worry. It's mainly the fever. Once the fever is gone, she'll be fine. I'll give her a prescription and a drip for the fever. It'll all be fine then," said the doctor.

"Please do, thank you," Luna responded.

With a nod, the doctor wrote down the prescription and set up the drip for Susan. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Grandma, when will mommy wake up?" Chessie watched Susan worriedly.

Upon taking Chesney into her arms, Luna suddenly felt a rush of sorrow. She held her tears back and told the girl, "There's nothing to worry about, Chessie. With grandma here, mommy will wake up in no time."

"Mm..." Chessie nodded, not sure if she understood the woman, before she said, "Then... let me tell mommy a story. Mommy loves listening to my stories."

Luna felt her heart clench. "Chessie, mommy won't be able to hear you now. Go out and play with the maid for the time being."

Chessie shook her head. "Mommy can hear me.

Chessie's stories are the best. Mommy will wake up

when she hears them."

Chesney sat by the bed and started speaking in her cute, tender voice. "A long time ago, there was a pretty little princess. She..."

Luna turned back to wipe her tears discreetly as she listened from the side. Her daughter and granddaughter were wonderful... Why must they be mistreated like this?

Madam Shaw and Julian Shaw! That was it. The two o f them had done a good job. The Shaws were too much for the Wrights!

Her daughter was amazing. She would definitely meet someone better in the future. If not, they could take care of her anyway.

While Luna thought about this resentfully, her phone rang out of the blue.

When she took a glance at the screen, she sneered. She was going to hang up instantly, but upon second thought, she exited the room to answer the call.

"Mr. Shaw, what's the matter?" Luna’s voice was cold and biting.

"Mom! How's Susie?" Julian’s voice was restless on the other end of the line.

"Susie's fine. Thanks for your concern, but we don't need it," Luna said aloofly.

"Mom, get Susie on the line. I have something to tell her." Julian’s tone was rarely this panicky. His mind was still currently replaying Susan’s overly calm composure.

For some reason, the calmer Susan was, the more scared he was. Now that he had finally gotten away from Madam Shaw, he had seized this chance to call them.

Susan had not taken anything with her upon leaving. Even her phone had been abandoned in the Shaw Mansion. Julian had no other option but to call Luna.

The woman chuckled dryly. "Didn't Susie tell you what to do? Take care of the certificate of divorce on your own and send it to our house when you're done. Julian Shaw, don’t worry. The Wrights are still respected in Canada. Our daughter won't hang around or pester you."

"Mom..."

"Susie’s separated from you. Excuse me, but I can barely bear the way you are addressing me," Luna said coldly. "If there’s nothing else, I'm hanging up.”

"Hold on..." Julian wanted to say more, but Luna had hung up directly.

When he called again, Luna had already blocked his number. As he held his phone, his grip went limp.

Julian wanted to explain the situation to Susan, but she would not even pick up. How could she listen to him?

"Mr. Shaw, are you worried about Susie?" Willa had appeared behind Julian suddenly.

Julian tensed up slightly, but when he saw that it was Willa, he relaxed a little. "Miss Doyle. Thank you for informing me earlier."

"It was nothing. Even if I hadn't, the maid would have," Willa offered gently.

Julian nodded absently, his gaze distracted. He really could not calm down enough to attend to other matters.

Taking in how disconcerted Julian was, Willa looked thoughtful before she softly said, "Mr. Shaw, I'm actually very worried about Susie.”

"What is it?" When Susan was mentioned, Julian got worked up again.

"You can’t have known, but Susie's having a high fever." Willa looked concerned. "She's been weak, and what Madam Shaw did might worsen her illness."

"What? Susie's having a high fever?" Julian was alarmed at once.

"Yes. She caught a cold yesterday afternoon and the fever spiked at night. She was slightly better this morning... before Madam Shaw came." Willa recounted the events softly.

Julian could not help the shudder that ran through him.

That was why Susan had looked so pale! That was why Luna had held on to her so anxiously! Susie was having a fever.

He could not keep her company while she was sick and in pain. He was now working with his mother to stab a knife into her heart. Julian felt like the worst human in this world.

There was only one thought in his mind currently: He was going to go see Susan!

He charged out of the door swiftly.

Madam Shaw, who was in the living room, noticed the noise and rushed out to speak to him. "Julian, you're..."

Despite hearing her, Julian did not even pause. He left right away. 1

Madam Shaw glared at Willa. "What did you tell Julian? Why did he leave so abruptly?”

"I just told him that I was wondering how Susan's doing now that she has a fever and she was dealt such a huge blow." Willa’s gaze was odd, but she looked like she was indignant on Susan's behalf. "Madam Shaw, Susie’s a good person. How could you do that to her?"
