Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 265

Verian stared straight at him, sobbing.

"Long time no see? If it weren't for Serene to tell me that you're here, are you planning to avoid seeing me forever?"

The smile on the corner of Heaton's lips was faint. He said, "When I laid down here just now, I really thought about divorcing you and driving you away. It's best that you never see me again in this life. It's not right for you to entrust your life with a person like me."

"Nonsense!" She blinked her eyes slightly, and her tears ran down.

He mocked, "This is because at the blink of an eye I may become another person. I'll become a stranger to you. I'll make you feel scared and hurt you. Such a person like me really shouldn't marry you. I'm sorry. I didn't think about it thoroughly before."

Verian suddenly hugged his neck and cried. "Don't say sorry to me... Don't divorce me! Heaton Fudd, you’re already married to me! You cannot return goods! I don't accept that!"

"Riana..."

Tiptoeing, Verian held Heaton's handsome face with her hands and kissed his thin lips.

He tasted her salty tears, and this made his heart hurt tremendously.

"Heaton Fudd, I warn you... Don't divorce me! Otherwise... Otherwise..."

Heaton put his arms around her slender waist and pressed his forehead against hers softly. Deliberately, he asked with his hoarse voice. "Otherwise what?"

Verian could not say anything cruel. Her tears kept spilling over. "Otherwise... You'll never see me for the rest of your life."

She was not capable of threatening people.

Heaton muttered. Then, he laughed faintly with a pampering look.

With her eyes turning red, Verian stared at him. "What are you laughing for?"

She was crying, and he dared to laugh at her!

It was not funny at all!

"I was laughing because after several days of separation, you turned from a coward to someone who knows how to threaten people."

Verian clenched a fist and hit his chest. "Several days?! It's been 37 days! It's a total of 37 days! Heaton Fudd… These 37 days… Where have you been?! Do you know... I really miss you..."

She got into his arms and cried presumptuously.

Heaton's big hands stiffened in the air. After a long time, he finally put his hand on the back of her head, gently caressing her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Even Heaton himself felt that he too was useless at this moment. He lived for 32 years, but the number of times he apologized within these two days was almost as much as the total number of times he did throughout his 30 years of life.

Verian buried herself in his arms and said in a dull voice, "Don't say sorry... I just want you to stay with me forever."

Heaton's eyes darkened. "But, what if Xavier appears again?"

"I'll face it with you, and I'll also be with you for the treatment. One day, you'll be well."

A strong warm feeling flashed through Heaton's heart. He lowered his head and kissed the little woman in his arms.

"Riana, thank you for accepting such a sickly me."

"You’re just sick. It's not a big deal. In this life, who doesn't get mentally ill or has some mental problems? It's trivial..."

Verian hugged his waist tightly. Pursing her lips, she said, "Heaton, don't push me away. Let us face it together. In the past, you were chasing me. From now on, let me guard you, alright?"

Heaton closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Sure."

...

Verian sat on the edge of the bed and took Heaton's big hand to press on her flat belly.

"Is the child behaving?"

Heaton put his ear against her belly, and Verian could not help but laugh. "The child hasn't developed yet. There won't be any fetal movement."

The man stretched out his arm to embrace her waist. Her waist had become much thinner.

Before, although Verian was thin, there were still some fats on her waist. However, now, he could not feel any fats on her body.

During this period, it must be very hard for her to pull through everything alone.

Verian did not take it seriously. She looked at him and said, "As long as you're fine, everything is worth it. I miss you very much, and Little Jelly Bean also misses you. Heaton, shall we go back to the Fudd's house to see Little Jelly Bean tonight?"

"Sure. Dad doesn't know my condition yet and it’s time to tell him."

Verian's eyes became misty. "Have you always been alone in dealing with this issue all these years? Why didn't you tell others so that they can share the burden with you?"

"Tell them to make them worry for me? My eldest brother is gone, and my dad is old. The burden of the entire Fudd family is on me. My illness is a secret. If it spreads, countless people will watch over me like a hawk."

"Heaton... From now on, you have me."

She would share his feelings and emotions, no matter if they were happy or sad.

Dr. Jarret said that the emergence of multiple personalities was not only due to the tremendous stimulation and trauma, but also the pressure exerted by the patient himself. People with this type of personality disorders were often withdrawn and lonely. They do not share feelings with others, no matter if they were happy, angry or sad. This would lead to a disorder in the nervous system. In the subconscious, when the brain turned on its defense mechanism, it would split the required personality to help the sufferers through the most difficult time.

For example, Xavier appeared because of Heaton's self-blame in his heart. He wanted to repay his guilt toward Sam, so he created Xavier who would attack him and even wanted him to sleep forever.

...

Wilson and Serene were sitting at a roadside stall, eating tofu pudding.

Wilson frowned and looked at the bowl of tofu pudding with coriander, peanuts, and small shrimps. His eyes showed a little disgust.

Serene lowered her head and enjoyed the food thoroughly. "Wow! I haven't eaten tofu pudding in a long time! Unexpectedly, there is such a roadside stall around selling tofu pudding!"

Soon, Serene finished her bowl with lightning speed. She waved to the stall owner. "Boss! One more bowl!"

"..."

Wilson twitched the corners of his mouth and pushed his uneaten bowl to her. "I don't like this. You can eat it."

"You really don't want to eat? It is really delicious! You will regret it if you don't eat it!"

Wilson refused firmly. "I don't want to eat."

Serene rubbed her palms. "Then, I'll stop being courteous."

She lowered her head and started to eat the food in large mouthfuls...

Wilson looked at the little girl in front of him. She really stopped being courteous.

Wilson's eyes paused slightly and answered, "It's not that there is no possibility of curing him. It's just that the treatment process will be tortuous and long. Schizophrenia is not a rare disease. Many people suffer from this disease, but it's not as obvious as Heaton's conditions. Due to prolonged depression or a certain huge stimulation, it's possible to cause dissociative identity disease. This is called dissociative identity disorder (DID) in medical terminology and it is when multiple souls live in one body. Patients with DID are often depressed and refuse to accept help from others. This is mainly because they’ve suffered major psychological and spiritual trauma."

Serene listened attentively. "Then, what kind of treatment is better?"

Wilson nodded lightly. "Through changing the environment, supportive psychotherapy, calming and sleep therapy. These will bring more remarkable results."

Wilson had a hunch that Heaton's medicine was Verian.

"Master, you make me work overtime every day and put me under so much pressure. Will I also suffer from multiple personality disorder because I can't stand it?"

Looking at her coldly, Wilson got up and left. He only left a sentence. "I think you're more likely to suffer from a disease of being too much of a drama queen."

"..."

Serene chased after him. "I'm serious! I'm not kidding!"

"I'm not kidding either."

"Master, let me have a vacation, please?"

"Master? Master?"

Wilson replied to her only with his cold and sturdy back.

...

Heaton and Verian went back to the Fudd's family house.

Once they were back at the Fudd's house, Heaton went into the study with Old Master Fudd.

Verian sat on the sofa with Little Jelly Bean. Little Jelly Bean asked, "Monty, is daddy really engaged to another woman? Daddy doesn't want us anymore?"

"Of course not. Daddy will always be with us."

“Really?"

Verian caressed Little Jelly Bean's head. "Yes."

An hour later, Heaton got out of the study.

As soon as Little Jelly Bean saw her father, she immediately rushed forward. "Daddy! Jelly Bean misses you so much! You were so cold to me!"

Heaton kissed Little Jelly Bean on her cheek. "Daddy misses Jelly Bean too. Let daddy see if Jelly Bean has grown taller recently."

"Hm! Jelly Bean did grow taller! Three centimeters taller! Daddy, hug me!"

Verian looked at the warm scene of the father and daughter and she was extremely pleased.

"Daddy, I thought you don't want me and Monty anymore."

Little Jelly Bean hugged Heaton's neck, acting like a baby.

"How could I be willing to abandon you?"

"Daddy, kiss!"
