Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 366

Yandel sent several bodyguards to stay guard outside of Madam Guant's ward.

Madam Guant had always been easy-going and felt that this was inappropriate for the other patients. "Yandel, you better send away the bodyguards standing at the door. Isn't Jean still in your hands? Apart from her, no one else would dare come over to cause trouble. With so many bodyguards standing at the door like guardians, people in the hospital who don’t know the situation will think I'm a prisoner."

"Mom, please bear with me these next few days. Now that Jean is in my hands, the people on their side will definitely come to bring her back. They might do anything. I'll accompany you tonight."

Madam Guant looked at her son kindly and patted his hand before saying, "You're so busy at work but always accompany me all night. This isn’t good for your health. You shouldn’t be staying over tonight."

"Or should I let Aunt Yen come over to accompany you instead?"

Madam Guant thought about it and changed her mind, suddenly saying, "Actually, I want to stay longer with Rainie but she can't stay up all night because she's pregnant now. Why not... You can check if Heaton agrees to stay over tonight? Mom has something to talk to him about, just between the two of us."

"Okay, I'll ask him later then."

...

When Heaton and Verian returned to the ward, Yandel said, "We need to have someone stay over with mom tonight."

Immediately, Verian said, "Then, maybe I'll stay here and chat with mom."

As soon as she finished speaking, Heaton instantly rejected her idea. "No, you're pregnant. I don’t feel safe leaving you here alone."

Yandel continued to speak, "What about if Heaton stayed over tonight? Your mother-in-law actually wants to talk to you about something."

"..."

Unconsciously, Verian turned to look at Heaton's face. When did Yandel become so close to him? He even called him Heaton.

Was this some sort of legendary brotherly love?

"It wouldn't be nice to let Heaton stay here with mom..."

Verian spoke weakly, feeling that Heaton would not want to. After all, Heaton and Madam Guant did not have any relationship prior to this.

Although she was his mother-in-law, Madam Guant and Verian had only been reunited over the past few days.

Touching Verian's head, Heaton said, "It's okay, I'll stay."

"..."

Verian was so shocked that her chin almost dropped to the floor. When did Heaton become so easy to get along with?

...

In the evening, Yandel got into the car first while Heaton and Verian stood at the hospital’s entrance, talking to each other.

Verian asked again, "Do you really want to stay here to take care of Madam Guant?"

"Don't tell me you cannot sleep tonight because I'm away."

Pursing her lips, Verian smiled. She stretched out her hands and hugged his waist. "Heaton, you’ve not become so easy to get along with."

Smiling faintly, Heaton patted her waist. "Go ahead. Yandel’s waiting."

“I shall leave now then. I'll call you tonight."

"Hm."

...

When Heaton returned to the ward, Madam Guant was sitting on the bedside and reading a book.

Seeing him come in, she put the book aside. "Yandel and Rainie have gone home?"

"Yes, they’ve left."

However, it was to be expected.

Looking at Heaton's physical appearance, he was quite good-looking, similar to Yandel.

"During the day, both Yandel and Verian were there so I was too embarrassed to ask this—what do you do for a living?"

A mother-in-law was a person who always liked to interrogate her son-in-law about his family members, jobs, and salaries. Heaton was not aversed to this.

He had decided to stay here tonight, so he was ready for these silly questions from Madam Guant.

As such, Heaton did not appear impatient. One by one, he answered the questions clearly. "I'm a businessman and my company's profitability is pretty good. Therefore, giving Rainie a stable life is no issue."

Madam Guant thought in her heart, 'He's quite young and capable.'

In the beginning, she actually did not have a good impression of this cold-faced son-in-law. However, after thinking about it further, she realized that Yandel also put on a poker face before outsiders but agreed to everything Leannie said or wanted. Therefore, it was okay to have a cold face as long as his heart was warm.

Madam Guant said earnestly, "Heaton, to be honest, my disease is leukemia. Although Yandel has been looking for a suitable match for me, I know that I might not be able to live any longer. My life is a failure and I don’t have any wishes left. I just hope that my two children can be happy. Rainie's happiness is dependant on you. Can you promise me to stay with her and love her for the rest of your life?"

Being silent for several seconds, Heaton did not speak.

Madam Guant said again, "Is this too much to ask from you? I know that for you young people, getting married may not be a lifetime thing, but..."

"Madam Guant, let me tell you a story."

"A story?"

"There was once a boy who suffered from depression because of certain things. At the age of 22, he chose to die but a girl appeared to rescue him and they became friends. Since then, the boy finally had a lifetime."

Madam Guant was stunned. "What do you mean...?"

Heaton looked at Madam Guant with his black eyes and made the promise to her. "In the past, Rainie gave me a lifetime, therefore, I'll give her a lifetime back."
