Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 331

Heaton had a severe gastric attack on his drive back.

Perhaps he was too anxious since his stomach was churning while beads of cold sweat drenched his back.

Heaton was holding onto his stomach with one hand while driving with another. Cold sweats slid from his forehead onto his eyelids.

He never had a gastric attack ever since he was with Verian.

He recalled the first gastric attack he had in front of her. It was when she plucked some root aloe from a corner in his study, ran to the kitchen and made some herbal tea for him to drink.

He actually thought that this woman was extremely ruthless back then. He was in agonizing pain and yet she still actually made him eat the root aloe raw and drink some herbal tea. He really wanted to strangle her to death then.

However, she told him that it was a home remedy to treat gastric attacks. He was actually really convinced by her method.

How could he possibly believe such a remedy without any supporting scientific research? However, it was all because it was her that told him which made him drink it without any hesitation.

The only thing was, he never told her that not only drinking herbal tea with root aloe did not alleviate his symptoms, but it seemed to have made it worse. However, he felt a lot better when she was by his side.

He lived in his own lonely world ten years ago. If it was not for her, perhaps he would have been long gone from this world.

He was truly grateful that Verian saved Zion all those years ago.

However, now, how could she leave him and Little Jelly Bean behind just with a few statements made by the old man?

Did he not tell her that he would be unable to continue living without her?

It seemed like… he actually never said anything this cheesy before.

In all honesty, he would still be able to live without her and even more so, think more rationally and live more fearlessly in her absence.

He was only worried that she might not be able to live well without him by her side.

Heaton would be worried when he thought about her fondness toward eating instant noodles. She must be eating instant noodles whenever she was hungry out there.

All of his anger from her leaving without saying goodbye dissolved into heartache and sorrow when he thought about her being in a foreign land, unsure if she was eating well or dressed warmly.

Verian was also very sensitive, so she might actually be overthinking in some unknown location after the old man sent her away so heartlessly.

…

It was 6 p.m. in Florence.

Verian was eating a cup of instant noodles in a hotel near the airport.

She intentionally bought a cup of locally branded instant noodles. After boiling some water, she poured the water into the cup, sat crossed legged on the thick carpet floor while waiting for the instant noodles to be cooked.

In the few minutes of waiting, she allowed her mind to drift. She thought about her having to eat instant noodles behind Heaton’s back all the time in the Shallow Bay Mansion.

She began to slowly tear up.

She lowered her head as she shoved a huge bite of instant noodles into her mouth with the disposable fork. However, this cup of instant noodles was extremely spicy. It stung her eyes which caused tears to fall into the noodles.

The steamy vapor felt overwhelming to her to the point she could not open her eyes. She started to eat faster.

It was unsure who invented instant noodles. It was convenient and delicious. However, this current one she had… tasted extremely awful.

She now understood how delicious instant noodles tasted when she had to hide in order to eat it.

Why did she not try to fight for Heaton with the old man when Heaton was such an amazing person?

She regretted a little for acting so selflessly when she was now required to sit alone in a foreign land.

He told her before that if the apocalypse happened someday, there would always be a safe spot to hide. He was never going to be a hero like the ones depicted in Marvel movies but all he wanted was to take her to the safest spot to hide.

However… it was all due to how amazing Heaton was that she could not bear to watch anyone casually bring him down.

Although no one in the world was perfect and aside from Heaton having a bad temper, his other qualities were perfect in Verian’s heart. Not to mention, when did he ever not treat her patiently or transform into a good tempered man? Hence, how could she allow anyone else to speak poorly about Heaton? This was especially more so if anyone was trying to ruin him.

The more she ate that cup of instant noodles, the saltier it became.
