Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 240

"No... No..."

Heaton went to the company for work in the morning. Why would he go to Bolte Sea Bridge?

The car owner of the accident must not be Heaton... It was definitely not him.

The lady boss stared at her and saw tears burst out of her eyes. She was shocked. She looked at the TV and asked carefully, "Miss, is the victim who was involved in the news your relative?"

"No... It's impossible..."

The cell phone that fell on the ground rang again.

Verian recovered from the shock and fear. She took the cell phone from the ground and picked it up in a panic.

"Hello, Dad. It was just a misunderstanding, right?"

John's voice sounded worn. He said, "People from the police station contacted me. You're Heaton's wife. I think you have the right to know."

Her heartbeat dropped. It was as if her heart stopped.

…

Verian did not know how she got to the police station. When she reached the police station, she got out of the taxi. Her legs were feeble, and her entire body was weak.

John stood at the front door of the police station, waiting for her with his walking stick. John's assistant stood beside him.

When Old Master Fudd saw her, he said, "Go in. The police asked us to come, wanting to talk about the situation to us."

Verian's soul seemed to be drained. Her eyes looked blank as she nodded. Her voice was particularly hoarse, "... Okay."

After entering the police station and having several conversations, Verian almost collapsed.

The police said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fudd and Mrs. Fudd. The search and rescue personnel sent by the police were not able to retrieve Mr. Fudd's body and car."

Verian lost control of her emotions. She stared at the policeman with her red eyes and choked with sobs as she said agitatedly, "Then, quickly increase your manpower to retrieve him! Why can't you salvage anything? All of you should go! How could he crash into the sea?! I don’t believe it! Heaton’s driving skill is very good. How could he have crashed into the sea for no reason? No way... No..."

Old Master Fudd frowned and comforted her, "Verian, calm down."

Verian pulled Old Master Fudd's sleeve and begged him, "Dad, y… you have to make them send more manpower to rescue him! I'm begging you..."

"Verian, Heaton is my only son. I also don't want him to have an accident. I've used all my power and resources to send people to rescue him. However, there is no news on my side as well. We... We'll wait patiently."

Verian's hands dropped, and her tears spilled over. She sobbed and said, "No... Heaton promised me that he'll be back early tonight. l even wanted to celebrate his birthday with him... Dad, today is Heaton's birthday. Maybe he's joking with us?"

"Verian, calm down. You still have the descendant of the Fudd family in your stomach. If you collapse at this moment, what will happen to the child in your stomach? What about Little Jelly Bean?"

However, Verian could not calm down. She could not be comforted.

By now, Heaton might be on the bottom of the sea. How could she calm down?

She wanted to save him...

Nevertheless, she could not swim.

Verian covered her face with her hands and cried out loud, losing all her self-control.

John saw her losing herself and instructed his assistant, "Jack, you send the young lady back home first."

"Chairman, should I send the young lady back to the Fudd Family Mansion?"

John nodded. "Seeing her condition now, I think she needs someone to take care of her. Send the young lady back to Fudd's house and let Madam Leah cook some soup that will help her settle her nerves. Don't let her get too emotional. This will affect the child in her stomach."

"Yes, Chairman."

...

After returning to the Fudd's house, Verian sat on the bed in despair.

Madam Leah cooked a bowl of lily and jujube soothing soup and brought it over. She comforted her and said, "Young mistress, have some soup. If you feel uneasy, you can talk to me. Maybe you'll feel better in your heart."

Verian did not speak. After a while, she suddenly stood up and rushed out of the villa.

Madam Leah hurriedly put down the bowl. She chased her and pulled her back. "Young mistress, where are you going?"

"I want to go to the Bolte Sea Bridge. I'm going to find Heaton!"

"Young mistress, the old master has arranged a lot of people to search for and rescue him. There are also people from the police. It's not useful for you to go there. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your stomach. You must not be emotional. What if that hurts the baby?"

Verian's eyes were red as she looked at her. "But, I want to find Heaton. Madam Leah, let me go. I want to know first-hand about Heaton’s situation."

"Young mistress, please, you have to rest well at home. As for the events of the young master, the old master will handle them. Before, the young master did come and ask me how to make nutritional soup. He mentioned that the doctor said your progesterone is low so you need more care and attention. Young master never came near the kitchen since he was young. The old master taught him that a decent man must stay away from the kitchen. But, for you, he came to consult me about the methods to make nutritional soup... Young mistress, young master really cares about the baby in your stomach. You also have to take care!"

Verian could not hold back and they flowed out fiercely. She collapsed onto the chair.

She could not do anything now. She did not have the ability to save Heaton. Now, she could only sit back and wait for the bad news.

"Madam Leah, will Heaton be alright?"

"Heaven stands by a good man like the young master. He must still be alive. How could he abandon his young mistress and Little Jelly Bean?"

"Yes... There's Jelly Bean. He must be reluctant to die. If he really leaves, what's to be done with Jelly Bean and I?"

Verian grabbed Madam Leah's wrist. She said, "Madam Leah, tonight, when Jelly Bean comes back from school, you mustn't tell her about it. I'm afraid she won't be able to take it."

"Sure. The old master has ordered us not to tell Little Jelly Bean. You, young mistress, have to stay strong. Otherwise, if you let Little Jelly Bean feel that there’s something wrong, she'll suspect it because she's too smart."

Verian nodded and suppressed her tears. "Yes. I can't let Jelly Bean see that there’s anything wrong. Heaton will surely come back safely tomorrow morning..."

"Young mistress, you drink this bowl of soothing soup first. Then, go to sleep. Your face looks bad."

Verian took big gulps and finished drinking the bowl of lily and dates soup.
