Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 23

The only thing that Verian knew was that the only man who could save her was the man in front of her.

As he held Verian's little hand and asked her to unfasten his belt, his cell phone that was put aside suddenly rang!

The phone rang loudly and annoyingly, without any intention of stopping.

Heaton frowned, and his black eyes glanced sharply at the caller ID. It read ‘Sister-in-law’.

Holding up the troubled little woman in his arms, he grabbed his cell phone and picked it up.

"What's the matter?"

Nancy was slightly stunned. Heaton's voice sounded cold and angry. He was obviously annoyed because she disturbed him at the wrong time.

She took a deep breath and said, "Heaton, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of Little Jelly Bean..."

As soon as Little Jelly Bean was mentioned, Heaton's black eyes instantly widened. "What happened to Jelly Bean?"

Nancy said whilst crying, "Little Jelly Bean was playing with Zaynie bare footed at home. As two of them ran around, Little Jelly Bean accidentally accidentally, and her forehead hit the cabinet. There was a lot of blood... Now we're in the People's General Hospital... Heaton, I'm really sorry... It's all my fault..."

Heaton's eyes widened further, and he said, "I'll be there right away!"

The little woman on the bed tried to cling onto him again. Heaton hastily carried her into the bathroom. He threw her into the bathtub and ran cold water from the shower!

"Ah... it’s cold..."

Verian, who was in the bathtub, curled her body to a ball as she was struck by the cold water. Her entire body felt cold and hot. The two contradicting temperatures were alternating, and she was uncomfortable.

Heaton left her in the bathroom. "Calm yourself down!"

When Heaton saw her and Leafy lying on a bed together and almost did something between a man and a woman, he was very angry. Up until now, as he walked out of the presidential suite and arranged staff to take care of the woman, his heart was still filled with anger!

Verian Mont! What was her relationship with his nephew? He would find out!

...

Outside the VIP emergency ward of the People's General Hospital...

It was obvious that Nancy was crying. When Heaton arrived, her eyes were red and swollen. She sobbed as she said, "Heaton, I really didn't do it deliberately..."

Zayne stood aside, pouted his small mouth, and whispered in fear, "Uncle, my mum really did not mean that. It was my bad. If I wasn’t chasing my sister, my sister wouldn’t have fallen."

Heaton frowned, raised his hand and patted Zayne. "It's okay. I don't blame you."

Heaton also did not blame Nancy. He only said, "I'll go in and see Jelly Bean."

After Heaton entered the ward, Nancy stopped crying. She managed to notice a red mark on Heaton's throat. It looked like a mark left by a woman and clenched her fist.

As Heaton entered the ward, he saw the little munchkin lying on the bed with a pale face. Her eyes were closed, her mouth was curved and she was asleep. Her long eyelashes were curled, and there were some tears at the corners of her eyes. Her forehead was covered with thick gauze, making Heaton's heart ache.
