All Chapters of The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Excluding the uncle, the incidence rate for the three generations of the Shelbys was close to 100%. Anna did not know what to say to comfort Jacob as well.“The heritability rate is 95%, and if the attack happens during labor, then the death rate is almost 100%. We can’t afford to take the risk.” Jacob’s eyes were misted.‘I know how much you were looking forward to the child, Susie. But for all of us, nothing matters more than your life, so don’t blame us. Besides, even if the child is born, there is a huge chance that he or she will inherit the disease as well. It is not fair for the kid.’Jacob was comforting himself with all sorts of excuses, hoping to lessen the ballooning guilt within him but to no avail. His heart was still very heavy. Anna did not know how to comfort him. She could just stand beside the bed and watch him with a worried expression. The night was dark. When Susan woke up in the middle of the night, she realized Julian was hugging her very tightly from behind.

“Indeed, it’s all thanks to you, Luke. If you hadn’t acted as the go-between for me, the company wouldn’t have developed so fast,” Joseph said, offering Luke a smile.“Oh yeah, I’m not sure if you’re aware of it or not, but there are some weird rumors going around saying that you’ve eaten some cow pies during the SL system’s launching event. Although it’s just a rumor, it will affect your reputation. I suggest you do something about it,” Luke said with a frown.Joseph’s expression changed.He had utilized all of his connections and he even borrowed the power from the government to cover the matter up. However, other people might not know about the truth, but he was certain of it. He did eat the cow pies.It was all Julian’s fault. If it were not for him, he would not have made a fool of himself. As such, he had sworn that he would never let the matter rest so easily. Joseph did not expose anything to Luke. He put on a smile and said, “It’s difficult to stop the rumor, but luckily not

“Alright, then.” Susan did not doubt anything and just nodded sweetly.Accompanied by Julian and Jacob, Susan soon finished the check-up procedure. While they were waiting for the report in the corridor, Julian handed a bottle of water to Susan, and his hand was shaking slightly. “Have some water, Susie.” He tried to make his voice as natural as possible. If Susan was vigilant enough, she would have noticed the change in his voice. However, he was Julian, the person whom she relied on wholeheartedly. “Thank you, Julian. How did you know that I’m thirsty?” Susan took over the bottle and took a big gulp.Sitting beside her, Julian and Jacob watched as she emptied the bottle of water. Susan smacked her lips and her eyes became misted. “Why… does this water taste so weird?”Before her voice died away, she suddenly felt dizzy and the world in her head began to swirl. “Julian, the water...” Susan looked puzzlingly at Julian, then she saw the pain that flowed in the depths of his eyes.

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 to 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

Even though his mother had admonished him, he should not be in any more entanglements with Susan Shelby.Even though Susan no longer loved him.But he was still in love with her.Such love, forlorn yet profound, only took an expression from Susan for him to ignore his mother’s only request, and that was to stop coiling with Susan.The happiness that Julian Shaw promised her but failed to deliver was his to bear.Luke had already adjusted himself mentally before he pushed the doors of the operating room.He had conceived such a scenario countless times, but the only thing that he did not expect was Susan’s shivering cold attitude.To him, her apathy was too hard to swallow.“Susie…” Luke glanced at Susan with an astonished look. “I’m helping you.”Susan gritted her teeth.If it was not for Luke, the embryo would have been removed.Maybe, just maybe, she had Luke to thank for.But deep within, she had an indescribable emotion, and it was surging like turbulence.“Are you hel

Julian spoke at a very slow pace and explained everything very clearly.It was so meticulous that Susan couldn't deceive herself, and that she only misheard what he had to say.Susan covered her belly subconsciously, and her eyes were vacant.If everything Julian said was true…If she kept the baby, she would be putting her life in great jeopardy.But if she were to abort the baby…No, never.Susan grabbed Julian’s hand and claimed, “But Julian, it is already a tiny life form. You felt it too right? It has already started moving from time to time.”Despair flashed across Julian’s eyes, but he continued saying, “Susie, it’s only been three months. The baby has not even fully formed yet, and perhaps the movements we felt from before were just our own imagination. They might have only been your bowel movements. You… You don’t have to take it to heart too much.”Imaginations Bowel movements?“What are you talking about?! I felt them myself, those were not illusions, those were th

Outside the door, Jacob was waiting nervously.As Julian carried Susan out from the operating room in his arms, his pupils contracted instantly, “Julian, what hap…”“No big deal, she is just tired.” It had just been a few short minutes and now Julian’s eyes were bloodshot. “I will send her home first.”“Okay.” Jacob nodded.As expected, Luke was still waiting at the doorsteps of the hospital.Seeing Susan in Julian’s arms, his brows creased. “Julian Shaw, I am warning you, don’t you hurt Susan even a tiny bit more, she’s…”“Scat!” Julian asserted while shooting an unconcerned glare at Luke.Julian had done such barbaric things and he still had the ground to show him attitude. As Luke was about to lose it, Julian had helped Susan into the car.Luke’s palms clenched into fists subconsciously.Even though the attitude Susan gave to him while in the room could not be considered pleasing, that was because she was being deceived by Julian Shaw. Or maybe, Susan understood the power a

She was kidnapped! And she got out?This woman was good at making things up.Where could one find such a coincidence in the world?However, she had the guts to come back to them. Could she still believe that they were ignorant enough to trust her once more?Jacob, with his piercingly cold look, asked, “Where are you now? I will get somebody to pick you up.”Anna provided her location at once.Jacob immediately got a driver to go over and fetch her.An hour later, Anna arrived at the Shaw Mansion in discomfiture and disorder.Jacob took a glance at her condition and sneered.Her act was truly quite realistic.There was that tousled hair, that filthy clothing, and that shaky stance. If it were somebody else who did not know what happened before this, they would have believed her story.“Thank you, Mr. Shelby, for getting someone to pick me up. The place I was abducted to was so isolated, and I didn’t have any money on me. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known wha

“What? You let her escape?” Joseph’s face was livid with annoyance while he listened to the report from his men. “What were you doing? You have four full-grown men, and you let a feeble girl get away?”Big Daddy was dejected while Joseph taught him a lesson. After a short while, he spoke with a grudge as he was not reconciled with the outcome, “Boss, we also thought she was a puny girl, so we left her in a corner and didn’t pay much attention to her. But this girl, Anna, I don’t know how she did it. She managed to break free and escape. Moreover, she is trained. Little Finger and I were on the lookout while she got loose, and we weren’t able to stop her even though we teamed up.”Big Daddy became dispirited again as he explained.He may not be the toughest goon in the gang, but he was definitely among those who were above-average. Little Finger was not much worse than him, but in the end, they were no match for a delicate woman. He felt ashamed of himself.“Trained?” Joseph was sho

Julian’s eyes shrank when he heard Madam Shaw’s stern voice.He had been trying very hard to keep his mother in the dark regarding Susan’s heart disease, and had even made the decision to shoulder all the responsibility when he had to tell his mother that they weren’t going to have any children.However, he didn’t expect his mother to know about it so soon.Julian’s expression turned grim. It now appeared to Julian that the one who sold him out was the same person who divulged Susan’s abortion to Luke.“I won’t let the matter rest so easily this time, Julian. Let me in, I want to talk to Susan. I want to ask why must she do this to us. Why must she harm us like this? Does she really want to see the Shaws fall so much?” Madam Shaw shouted, her voice growing sterner with every passing second.Julian narrowed his eyes. Considering the current situation, he had to stop his mother from seeing Susan at all cost.If she were to confront Susan in her current condition, it would make thin
