Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 378

When Verian came out of the doctor's office, her legs were a little weak and she staggered. Yandel supported her with his hands.

"Rainie, don't worry too much. The doctor also said it might be temporary."

Verian took a deep breath and said, "I'm not afraid of Heaton becoming blind. I'm just afraid that he won’t be able to deal with it."

Yandel certainly understood what she meant. How could a proud person like Heaton allow himself to be blind?

"I don't think that Heaton is so fragile. People who have notable achievements in the business field are not so narrow-minded."

Verian nodded. "It looks like it can't be kept a secret but when the doctor comes to examine him later, can we say that he’s just temporarily blind? I don't want to put too much of a burden on his heart."

"Alright."

…

Verian came back from the outside and saw Heaton leaning against the bed in a hospital gown. As he had been lying down for many days, his complexion was not healthy. Also, he had not eaten these days so he looked kind of weak.

Even though there was a lot of stubble on his chin, his handsomeness was not affected.

Verian regulated her mood, walked over, and said softly, "The doctor will be here soon."

"Um," Heaton responded faintly.

Verian thought he wanted to ask why she had not turned on the light or why he could only see darkness, but he did not ask anything.

"Well Heaton, you may have to suffer a bit in these next few days. The doctor said that your eyes may have been injured by the heavy smoke so you have temporary blindness. However, he noted that you won't be blind forever. Just rest more and you'll be fine."

Verian was not sure whether what she said could conceal the truth from a person as smart and wise as Heaton.

She could only try to keep her tone flat, not wanting him to hear the anxiety in her voice.

However, Heaton did not ask anything. He just smiled faintly and said, "Okay, got it."

His reaction was too calm.

After the doctor came to check on him, it seemed that everything was fine. He only said he should rest more for his eyes and left the ward.

Sitting beside him, Verian asked, "Heaton, what do you want to eat? I'll ask Kush to buy it. You haven't eaten for many days."

"I'll have some porridge. I don't have much of an appetite."

"Sure."

Verian called Kush and asked him to buy some porridge and some side dishes.

After a while, Kush delivered the porridge.

Verian scooped the porridge with a spoon and blew it before bringing it to Heaton's mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Heaton followed whatever she said. After eating a mouthful of porridge, he said, "You're taking care of me like Little Jelly Bean. Will you feel annoyed one day?"

"Of course not. Besides, this is only a temporary problem. You took care of me like this when I was healthy."

Heaton fumbled to hold her hand. Verian saw it and hurriedly put out her hand for him to hold.

"How about you? How's your injury? You've been staying here to take care of me. You also have a child in your belly, can you bear it?"

"I'm okay. The doctor said the child is fine. During the explosion, you protected me so well so I didn't suffer any injuries. However, the bandage on my face hasn’t been removed yet. There’s medicine on it."

Verian realized that he wanted to reach out to touch her wound, so she held his big hand and pressed it onto the thick bandage on her right cheek.

The man's deep magnetic voice asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Verian shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. But maybe it's forming a scab since it’s a little itchy. I always feel like scratching it."

"Bear with it. Otherwise, it’ll leave a scar."

"Um. Let me feed you some porridge. You only ate a little."

Heaton was very obedient. "Okay."

After finishing the bowl of porridge, Verian helped him lie down. Heaton patted the other side of the bed beside him and said, "Come up and sleep with me."
