Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 853

Cherie began to gradually wake up after the effects of the anesthesia wore off.

Both Heaton and Verian were keeping watch by her side. They noticed when she let out a soft groan.

"How are you feeling, Jelly Bean?" Verian inched closer to her. She asked in a caring tone while she teared up.

The instant Cherie opened her eyes, she noticed both Heaton and Verian staring at her with concerned gazes beside her.

She never screamed out in pain. However, she broke down to tears in an instant.

Verian reached out to wipe her tears as she asked, "Does it hurt? Do you want the doctors to come over?"

Cherie shook her head while she cried. The first thing she asked was, "The child… is the child gone?"

Verian sniffled before reaching out to caress her little face as she comforted her through her tears, "Our Jelly Bean is still so young. It's not the right time for you to have a child yet."

"So, it's really gone then?"

Cherie's voice trembled.

Both Heaton and Verian remained silent for a really long time. It seemed they answered her question with their silence.

Heaton bent over and patted his daughter's little head. He spoke in a gentle tone, "The most important thing you need to do right now is to recover. Leave the rest to me, okay? Don't worry about anything else. Daddy's here and no one else can bully you."

Cherie cried harder as she said in an extremely guilty tone, "Daddy, Monty, I'm so sorry. Am I a horrible person to have disappointed you guys?"

Verian said, "You're our daughter so how could you think that you're disappointing us?"

Heaton lowered his head and kissed his daughter's forehead as he spoke in a gentle tone, "No matter what you do, you're still our daughter. Monty and I will always love you unconditionally forever."

Verian held onto her little hand while at the same time being enveloped by Heaton's huge hands.

Cherie said, "Daddy, please scold me, please. I feel awful. I'll feel much better if you'd scold me."

It was only then did she realize how immature and unruly she truly was.

"Oh, you're my beloved so how could I have the heart to scold you anyway. It's like breaking my favorite vase when you're little. However, I still couldn't bring myself to scold you because I love you."

…

Cherie had stayed in the hospital for a couple of days. It was unsure what she was thinking about since she would often start crying alone in bed.

After some time however, she no longer cried anymore and had gotten significantly more quiet.

Both Heaton and Verian were hurt when they noticed her change.

Jelly Bean had always been a cheerful ball of joy in their eyes ever since she was a child. They had never seen her in such a depressed state before.

It seemed like losing both Boyle and her child hurt her tremendously.

Both Heaton and Verian never asked about Boyle or her fall.

Heaton would rather have someone investigate the incident than hurt Jelly Bean further.

Whitney came to visit Cherie at the hospital.

Verian told Whitney outside of her room, "Whitney, you and Jelly Bean are best friends. She's unwilling to tell me or her father anything. Maybe, she might be willing to tell you about it. Could you help me cheer her up? She hasn't smiled in a very long time now. She loved to smile before all of this so please, okay?"

Whitney felt awful as well as she was also starting to tear up. She said, "Don't worry Aunty Verian. Cherie is my best friend and I'll make sure I cheer her up."

"Alright, thanks."

Verian hugged Whitney.

Heaton and Verian walked out of her room after Whitney entered. They did not want to disturb their conversation.

Whitney teased Cherie, "Aren't you bored lying here all the time?"

Whitney gulped and said, "He's blind then."

Cherie turned to look at her and asked, "Am I sick, Whitney?"

She did not wish to keep living in such a depressed mood nor would she want Monty or her father to continue worrying about her. However, she just could not bring herself to smile. She was sad about just how useless she was since she could not even stop her father or Monty to worry about her.

She felt ill and did not wish to speak to anyone nor did she feel like smiling. She just felt extremely depressed.

Whitney encouraged her, "Go out there and get some sunlight and if you want to talk to anyone, you can always come to me. Don't wallow here alone. Come on now, just look at how much Aunty Verian and Uncle Heaton loves you. You can tell them about anything. I feel like they'd understand. All will be well soon, okay?"

Whitney had spent an hour talking to Cherie and Cherie felt a little tired. Whitney left after Cherie had fallen asleep.

Whitney noticed Verian and Heaton were still standing outside the door when she walked out.

Whitney walked over to them and told Verian and Heaton, "Uncle Heaton, Aunty Verian, Cherie feels really off to me. She seemed slightly depressed."

Heaton looked up and spoke in a serious tone, "We will look after her. Besides, something this serious has just happened to her and she must've felt really hurt. She's also young so yeah, she's more prone to having depression."

Heaton and Verian stood outside of Cherie's room and stared at her through the window after Whitney left.

Verian said, "Heaton, let's bring Jelly Bean home. Didn't the doctor say she's allowed to be discharged now? It's the same for her to rest at home anyway. She'll be even more depressed staying in the hospital all day."

"Alright, we'll get it done tomorrow. We'll bring Jelly Bean home with us to rest."

Verian sighed as she stared at the pitiful little girl inside. She said, "I was thinking in the past few days, Heaton. Have we perhaps made a mistake? If we didn't force them to break up, maybe the outcome will be different?"

"There are no 'what ifs' in life. We can only be thankful that at the very least she had broken up with Boyle. If we didn't stop them back then, will she actually give birth to Boyle's child in secret without us knowing? She's still so young. Could you bear to watch her ruin her future like this to marry a stranger and living such a normal and uneventful life?"

Verian felt much better after listening to Heaton's explanations.

Heaton hugged his wife and spoke in a soft tone, "Just think of it as her being really sick. She will recover. As long as we are patient enough and cheer her up enough, she will be alright. Being young is a good thing. It'll be easier for her to recover."

Verian nodded and leaned into Heaton's arms as she said, "Jelly Bean will recover."
