Heaton pressed on one step at a time while Verian backed away.
As long as someone slept with him and gave birth to his child, they were considered his woman. She was not the only one who met this requirement!
Even if Yanny Joy did not meet this requirement, what about Nancy Xander?
Verian was not the kind of woman who held onto the past and could not get past it. However, she could not accept that Heaton Fudd and Nancy Xander have a child between them.
"Then Nancy Xander is also your woman..."
Before she could finish her question, Heaton's cellphone rang.
Both their eyes looked at the phone together. It was a call from the kindergarten.
Heaton answered the phone, "Hello."
"Is this Cherie Fudd's father?"
Heaton’s eyebrows twisted. "I am, what happened to Cherie?"
The kindergarten teacher on the other side said anxiously, "Mr. Fudd, please come to the kindergarten. Cherie felt sick not long after going to bed after lunch today. Our teacher took her temperature and it’s forty degrees. She has a high fever..."
Before the teacher finished speaking, Heaton said in a calm voice, "I'll go over immediately, please help her physically cool down first."
"Sure, sure, sure."
After hanging up, Verian asked worriedly, "Is Little Jelly Bean sick?"
"Yes, she has a high fever. I'll go there right away."
"I’ll go with you!"
Heaton glanced at her badly injured arm. "You should stay here and wait."
Verian knew that she would not be much help even if she went over. She might even cause trouble to Heaton. Although she was worried, she obediently did not follow him.
...
When Heaton rushed to the kindergarten, Little Jelly Bean's face was blushing red.
"Dad, Jelly Bean feels uncomfortable."
Heaton picked up Little Jelly Bean and comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Put up with it for a while. Daddy will take you to the hospital immediately and you’ll be well soon."
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor suggested an injection. As soon as they arrived at the injection room, Little Jelly Bean was crying and howling. With tears on her delicate face, she held onto Heaton’s neck and did not let go. "Daddy, I don’t want to get an injection… I’m afraid daddy, I don’t want an injection! The injection hurts!"
“If you don't get an injection, you will burn. Be good. After the injection, daddy will bring you to buy something delicious."
"Daddy, I don't want to eat delicious food! I don't want an injection!"
The more he coaxed her, the worse it became. Heaton did not bother coaxing her anymore. He just pressed the little one and grabbed her tumultuous leg. "Doctor, inject."
"Wuwuwuwu… Daddy does not love Jelly Bean... I am going back to tell grandpa! Tell Monty! Daddy bullied me! Wuwuwuwu..."
It was not the first time Heaton had brought Little Jelly Bean for an injection so he had the experience. As long as he made a decision about it in his heart and bore with her, it would be fine in a while.
The female doctor took off the little one's pants. After a while, she injected a shot of medicine in.
When the injection was done, both Little Jelly Bean's big eyes were red. "Wuwuwuwu… Daddy, I will never love you anymore!"
The little one cried till she was hiccuping and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Heaton ignored her, hugging her as they walked out of the hospital after he took the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
...
Fudd Group’s building, inside the president's office.
Verian remembered that her laptop was still at the set, and she did not know if it was broken or not.
She was about to go to the studio to pick it up, but there was a knock on the office door.
"Is anyone here?"
It was Yanny Joy's voice.
Yanny opened the door and came in. Verian, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned. Yanny, however, was not surprised. She came in with the laptop in her arms, walked over, and said, "Miss Mont, are you alright? I saw your laptop laying around on set. I guess that you were in President Fudd’s office, so I decided to send it over for you."
Verian quickly raised her hand to take it. With excellent quality, Yanny placed the computer on the table. "Don't move. I remember that the wound was very deep, so you can just sit there."
She had thought about Heaton in such an unbearable way before...
...
Little Jelly Bean cried all the way.
When they arrived at the Fudd Group, Little Jelly Bean was already out of breath from all the crying that she gradually stopped.
This little one was fine at everything, but this was a problem that the Old Master got her accustomed to. When she cried, they would try to calm her. When they did that, she cried more and more severely. As a result, over time, this habit could not be changed.
If Heaton ignored her, she would cry for a while, and then it would die down. If she was coaxed and everything headed her way, she would just cry harder and harder.
After Heaton hugged her and entered the elevator, Little Jelly Bean held his neck with her dainty hands and asked grievously, "Daddy, why didn't you coax me?"
"Daddy was right, why should I coax you?"
"Dad, you bullied me. I said no more injections, the injection hurts. Why didn’t daddy listen?"
Heaton said with a serious face, "Your fever can only be cured with an injection. Even if your grandfather was here just now, you would also have to get the injection. You will have to continue having to get injections tomorrow!"
"I don't... Wuwuwuwu..."
The little one started crying again with her mouth open. When they arrived at the office on the 66th floor, Verian heard a loud cry before both father and daughter entered through the door.
As soon as the office door opened, Little Jelly Bean saw Verian and stretched out her arms, asking for a hug from Verian. "Wuwuwuwu... Monty! Daddy was fierce to me!"
Verian was about to hold Little Jelly Bean when Heaton glanced at the wound on Verian's left arm and suddenly rebuked, "Ignore her!"
"Why are you being so cruel to the child? Little Jelly Bean is already very uncomfortable as she’s sick; she will be even more uncomfortable if you are so fierce to her."
Heaton placed Little Jelly Bean on the sofa with a dark face. He walked back to the desk to work, completely ignoring her.
The little one cried very hard and complained: "Monty… Wuwuwuwu, daddy is fierce..."
Originally, Verian felt a little guilty for him because she misunderstood him, but at this moment, seeing him being so fierce to Little Jelly Bean and remembering that he was so good to Zaynie, she was a little angry and said, "Although Jelly Bean is a girl, she’s also your daughter. You are so patient with Zaynie, why do you not have even half of that patience with Jelly Bean?"
Just because Zaynie was a son and was born from Nancy Xander, he liked Zaynie more. Was she correct?
