Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 174

Verian recalled when Heaton found out she was on the pill, he had grown insanely furious and left her at the Blue Bay Mansion. This showed Heaton had not tampered with her medicine or else, he would not have reacted so furiously.

“Impossible, he had no idea I was previously on the pill.”

The doctor then gave it some more thought and said, “Then, after you’ve taken the medicine, have you eaten anything else? Grapefruits have been in the market recently and just a few days ago, a pregnant lady came by telling me that she washed the medicine down with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice just so happens to have the effect of lowering the effectiveness of contraceptive pills and that she had actually gotten pregnant. Think about it, what did you immediately eat after taking the pills?”

Grapefruit juice…

Verian’s eyes trembled slightly.

She recalled that every time she had done the deed, Little Jelly Bean would give her some grapefruit juice to drink so she had drunk plenty of it…

She was in complete shambles when she exited the hospital.

She touched her tiny, flat belly while looking down…

Could she truly have Heaton’s child in here?

This child came at such a bad time.

Her main purpose of being on the pill after doing the deed was because she was afraid of getting pregnant with Heaton’s child.

Sometimes, however, the more one feared something happening, the more likely it would occur.

The phone in her bag rang and the caller ID showed it was from an unknown number. It was a local number from North City. Verian had no idea who the caller was but she was afraid it would be from someone she knew, so she picked up the call.

“Hello, greetings. Who might you be…?”

“Greetings Miss Mont, I’m Lain Heidy, a good friend of…Heaton Fudd.”

…

After half an hour, Verian and Lain were sitting face to face at a coffee shop in a secluded spot.

The waiter came by and politely asked, “What would you both like to drink?”

“I would like an iced Americano. What would you like, Miss Mont?”

Verian originally wanted to order some coffee to wake herself up, but she suddenly recalled she was pregnant so she refused to have coffee. “I’d like a glass of orange juice.”

“Very well, please wait for your drinks to be served.”

Verian made a self-mocking thought after she ordered her orange juice. Since she could not have this child, why did it even matter if she had coffee or not?

Sooner or later, she would have to find some time to abort this child.

Lain, who was sitting in front of her, spoke with a subtle smile after carefully assessing Verian. “Pardon me, Miss Mont, for calling you out so abruptly.”

It was only after Verian arrived at the coffee shop that she finally realized who Lain Heidy actually was.

Was this lady not the female owner of the Blue Bay mansion?

“Miss Heidy, since you’ve called me out, please speak your mind if there’s anything you wish to say to me.”

Was this Lain lady here to assert her dominance?

Lain smiled. “Aren’t you curious about how I’ve come to know you?”

“Didn’t you already say that you’re Heaton’s good friend? The few good friends Heaton has all know who I am and have even given me a nickname.”

It did not matter if it was Sam Joyce or Lain Heidy. Between them and Heaton was an intimate relationship so strong to the point she was unable to enter or partake in the time they had. The love Heaton had for Sam was unforgettable even after ten years. This made her jealous and sad. Moreover, there was nothing Heaton would not tell Lain. This too had made her immensely jealous.

Was it because she had been too petty or jealous?

Upon noticing Verian lost in her thoughts, Lain’s red lips cracked a grin and gently called out to her, “Miss Mont? Are you okay? Are you afraid after knowing Heaton has depression?”

Verian raised her glass of orange juice and took a sip. She forced a smile and said, “I just feel how unfortunate Sam’s passing was. If Sam was still here, it seems she would have been married to Heaton?”

“Is that truly what you think, Miss Mont? If Sam was still here, there wouldn’t be a Miss Mont now, would there?”

Lain looked at her with a smile and with her tone of voice, she was was unsure if she was being sympathetic or mocking her.

Verian realized Lain was exceptional in reading other people’s thoughts. Perhaps it was due to her being a phycologist. Verian felt that Lain was crystal clear in everything she thought about.

“Miss Heidy, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll have to take my leave. I still have some matters to attend to.”

Just when Verian stood up and grabbed her bag before leaving, Lain called out to her.

“Miss Mont, did you know that ten years ago while treating Heaton, our relationship was so close to the point where we shared a meal, shared a roof, a bed, and even woke up together. In this world, there aren't any other women who know Heaton as well as I do.”

Verian grabbed onto her bag harder.

Lain stood up and walked in front of her with her heels. She stared intently at her then suddenly let out a sigh, “Miss Mont, you truly resemble Sam Joyce.”

Verian’s tiny face grew pale. “Miss Heidy, what exactly are you saying?”

“I’m saying that perhaps Heaton was able to see a little bit of Sam’s presence in Miss Mont. If he truly loves Miss Mont and showed that he absolutely adored her, then perhaps it’s the result of his guilt. He’s merely trying to vent all of his guilt through Miss Mont. In an ailment like this, if the patient feels there isn’t anything left that they owe the original party, then the replacement, well, It seems they would lose their appeal.”

Lain’s statements were blunt and so directly to the point where Verian could not come up with anything as an argument. Verian even felt as if Lain’s statements were irrefutable.
