Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 673

It was around five o’clock in the morning. Lucy tossed and turned on her small bed in the school dormitory. After being woken up by the crows of roosters, she could not fall back asleep.

She received a text message from Yanni.

“Lulu, I’ll be leaving Peak Valley in the morning. Remember to always take good care of yourself and… I will never force you again. If you’re still willing to keep in touch with me, I can always be Mr. Q. Just like last time, we’ll be online friends. If you need help, I’ll be always here for you.”

He signed off with ‘Your Mr. Q’.

Lucy started tearing up after reading his text.

If he wanted to stay as an online friend, why did he turn up in front of her and tell her that he was Mr. Q?

Now that she knew everything, how could she still have heart-to-heart talks with Mr. Q?

Moreover, she already deleted Mr. Q’s WeChat ID.

Since they decided to part ways, it was better for them not to keep in touch again.

Lucy switched off her phone and buried her face in her pillow. Tears started rolling down from the corner of her eyes, wetting her pillow.

…

The black Bentley left Peak Valley when the sky turned bright.

…

In the end of June, North City was hot and humid. Sometimes, there were thunderstorms as well.

The evening breeze blew and knocked down the carefully planted flowers in the yard.

Standing in front of the French windows, Yanni stared at the corner of the courtyard. Lucy was the one who planted the pink roses there.

She seemed to like roses a lot.

However, Yanni only saw her as Sam at that time. Sam loved cherry blossoms, so there were cherry blossoms planted all over the yard.

Lucy must have been very sad looking at those cherry blossoms then.

She must be tired from staying by his side.

Aunt Yen came back holding an umbrella. She said, “Sir, I’ve covered Ms. Lucy’s roses with a plastic sheet.”

Quain nodded and let out a faint hum. He turned around and went upstairs emotionlessly.

When he arrived at the study room, the wind started blowing hard outside. There was even lightning and thunder.

Frowning lightly, Quain subconsciously glanced at the sky outside.

Peak Valley must be in the rainy season as well. Moreover, the area was surrounded by mountains. Natural disasters were most likely to occur in such a season.

The thought of Lucy flashed across Quain’s mind. He turned on the computer and surfed the blog.

Lucy would usually update her blogs every Wednesday, Friday and weekend evenings.

Quain stared at the date on the computer screen. Today was Friday, and it was past 11 o’clock, but Lucy’s blog was not yet updated.

Maybe the internet connection was bad in the mountains.

However, Quain felt very anxious. His eyelids twitched a few times.

He waited until one o’clock in the morning, yet Lucy’s blog was still not updated.

He was about to go to the bed when his phone rang. It was Dan.

Dan sounded very tense as he said, “Hey boss, have you seen Weibo?”

“No. What happened?”

“There was a mudslide in Peak Valley just now. It seemed like there were many deaths and injuries. The entire city’s network had been cut off. The relevant departments went to rescue people, but…”

Before Dan could even finish speaking, Quain’s heart trembled and immediately, he said, “We’ll go to Peak Valley now! Take the fastest route!”

Three hours later, it was three o’clock in the morning.

Quain and Dan arrived at Peak Valley.

It was still raining heavily in the city. There was even a minor earthquake after the mudslide. Although minor earthquakes were not fatal, it exacerbated the mudslides.

He knew that the network in Peak Valley was down, but he kept trying to call Lucy.

However, as expected, he could not get through to her.

Quain was worried sick. He ran to Zephyr Primary School under the heavy rain without an umbrella.

The surroundings of Zephyr Primary School were all wrecked up. Quain went to the staff dormitory to find Lucy, but he could not find her anywhere.

Lucy wanted to return to the school to tell them she was safe because the network was down.

However, as soon as she arrived at the school, she saw River lying on the ground, vomiting blood.

“River! What happened to you? Who beat you up?”

River’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lucy. He grabbed Lucy excitedly and said, “Lucy, thank goodness you’re alright! Thank goodness you’re safe!”

Lucy nodded, “I am fine, but what happened to you? Who beat you up?”

River was stunned and said, “Lucy, is there something going on between you and President Quain? Why is President Quain so worried about you?”

Lucy was startled. “President Quain? Which president are you talking about…”

“The guy who donated 5 million bucks to our school. He just came earlier.”

Lucy’s eyes flickered and she said, “What did you say? Yanni Quain came to Peak Valley?”

“Yes, he was the one who beat me up. He even questioned me very violently. He’s like a lunatic!”

Lucy could no longer pick up what he said, so she asked anxiously, “Where is he now?”

“He went to the mountain to find you.”

Lucy’s heart trembled. She ignored River and ran into the heavy rain.

River was shouting behind her, “Lulu! It’s dangerous outside, Lulu! Where are you going?”

Quain was such a fool. Why did he go to the mountain to save her? He was such a big fool! Peak Valley was in a dangerous state right now. Why did he come?

Lucy could not tell whether it was rain or tears on her face. She arrived at the foot of the mountain and one of the rescuers stopped her.

He was the one who rescued her earlier.

“Hey, why did you come back? It’s dangerous here, why did you come back after escaping? Do you want to die?!”

Lucy choked and said anxiously, “There is still someone in the mountain! He thought I was in the mountain, so he ran inside to save me! Please save him!”

“Who are you talking about?”

Lucy caressed her lower abdomen as she burst out in tears, “My child’s father.”
