Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 380

Verian took a long nap while holding Little Jelly Bean. The little munchkin put her little fingers in her mouth, biting them. Her little face was red when she slept and she looked extremely cute.

Verian looked at her and smiled gently. She bowed her head and kissed Jelly Bean’s little face. When Verian gently pulled away, Little Jelly Bean murmured to herself and snuggled closer into Verian's arms.

Verian did not see Heaton. After taking care of Little Jelly Bean, Verian got out of bed and left the bedroom.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Heaton coming out of Old Master Fudd's study.

"Heaton."

She walked over to hold his hand.

Heaton said, "I talked to dad about what happened to us."

"Then you told him we're not cousins?"

"Yes, I told him that."

Verian finally felt relieved. "Anyway, the DNA paternity test report at that time was too unreliable. I don't know how to get along with uncle and auntie anymore."

"I heard that uncle and auntie are going through their divorce procedures now."

Verian was startled. "Is it because of me?"

"Not really. There are many problems between them."

Verian did not want to care about other people's affairs, so she only held him and said, "Little Jelly Bean is still sleeping. Do you want to rest too? You can’t see now and the doctor said you need more rest."

"Um. I'll go to the company to settle some work tomorrow. During this period, it’ll be inconvenient for me due to my eyes. We should live here and not go back to Shallow Bay for the time being. Also, you're pregnant again. My family can help to take care of you."

Verian nodded. "Okay. I also want to spend more time with Little Jelly Bean."

...

After Little Jelly Bean woke up, Verian accompanied her to play Monopoly.

Heaton was dealing with office affairs in the study. Due to his eyes, Kush came to the house.

"Check which hospital issued uncle and Rainie's DNA paternity test report."

"Okay, boss."

Kush checked and found that the test report was prepared by Lain's clinic. He frowned.

"Boss, this document proves that the paternity test was prepared by Dr. Heidy's clinic. Maybe someone deliberately changed the report?"

As he finished saying that, Heaton's cellphone rang.

Heaton asked, "Who's calling?"

Kush took a glance at the caller ID and said, "It's Dr. Heidy."

After picking up the phone, Kush handed it to Heaton.

"Hi, Heaton."

"What's the matter?"

"I... I heard that you came back from a business trip. I haven't contacted you for a long time. How... How are you?"

Heaton answered concisely, "I'm pretty good."

"Can I come to see you? The last time I saw you was when Xavier appeared."

Heaton tapped his slender index finger on the table, his eyes sinking slightly. "Rainie and I have just arrived at the Fudd family mansion. You can come for dinner tonight."

Lain on the other side was stunned. Verian was also back with him?

Therefore, Heaton’s disappearance was due to Verian?

"... Okay, I’ll see you tonight."

...

Due to the condition of Heaton’s eyes, he worked for two hours but his efficiency was very low. He was a bit tired.

Kush said softly, "Boss, do you want to take a break? I'll ask Madam Leah to prepare a cup of coffee for you."

Heaton nodded and responded faintly. "Um."

He leaned on the chair, closed his eyes, and pinched his eyebrows with his long fingers. He felt kind of weak.

"She's an alumnus from my university and was once my attending doctor. Now however, it seems that I can't be friends with her anymore."

Verian felt a little guilty in her heart. "I'm sorry I caused you to lose a friend."

"It has nothing to do with you. Alright, go out now. I can't work if you’re here."

"Um."

When Verian came out of the study, she saw Kush standing by the door holding a cup of coffee. The atmosphere was embarrassing.

"Well Kush, you can bring the coffee in. During this period, we need your help to look after Heaton."

"Madam, that’s my duty."

...

Seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as Lain arrived, she sat downstairs and chatted with Old Master Fudd for a while. Verian helped Heaton to come downstairs.

"Slowly. Be careful." Verian reminded Heaton patiently, her eyes watching his footsteps.

Old Master Fudd and Lain looked toward the stairs at the same time. The warm, harmonious scene immediately stung Lain.

Old Master Fudd just smiled and took a sip of tea from his teacup. He praised her, "The more I look at Verian, the more pleasing she looks to my eyes. She takes care of Heaton very carefully."

Lain's eyes trembled and she asked, "What happened to Heaton?"

Why would he need someone's help to go down the stairs?

"He can't see with his eyes. Fortunately, he has Verian's care and company. I think he doesn't seem to be anxious to recover his vision."

Lain asked anxiously, "Why would he suddenly lose his vision?"

Old Master Fudd glanced at the two people who were holding hands while walking downstairs. He spoke softly, "There was an accident. In order to protect Verian, Heaton seemed to be hit by a heavy object. This caused damage to his optic nerve."

Lain's face was pale, and her fingers pinched at her palm.

Heaton risked his life to protect Verian?
