Author: A Sleeve Full Of Cloud
The driver immediately got out of the car and carried the limp body into the car. It was then that he realized she was carrying an urn.

How unlucky…

The driver tugged the urn from her hand, but it did not budge. Hesitantly, he looked at the man sitting beside him with trembling eyes. “Pre… President Fudd, this…”

The man cast a cold glance at the urn in the woman’s embrace. He said calmly, “Just drive.”

The driver quickly went back to his seat and restarted the car.

The heavy rain took a turn for the worse as the sky gradually grew darker.

The interior of the car was dim. Heaton Fudd lowered his gaze and looked at the woman lying next to him. Her long, black hair was soaked and stuck to her pallid, palm-sized face with blood still trickling down from the wound on her pale arm. She looked fragile and battered.

It did not seem like she was trying to feign an accident.

The heavy rain made the road slippery and the surroundings foggy. As the driver made a sharp turn, the petite woman was thrown onto the man’s lap.

Heaton Fudd’s brows turned into a slight frown, and he lowered his head.

The look on his face turned colder.

“Mr. Lius, do I need to send you back to the driving school to redo your test?”

The driver looked fearfully into the rearview mirror. It was extremely embarrassing…

He let out a few hollow laughs. “President Fudd, I’m very sorry. The rain is very heavy today.”

Heaton Fudd moved the woman aside with his large hands.

The woman’s eyes were still shut. She showed no signs of waking up.

Heaton’s eyes shrank as he stared at the woman’s pale yet tender lips.

Verian Mont woke up in a hospital. She slightly opened her eyes and saw a female figure in front of her.

“Rianie! You’re awake! You scared me to death!”

Guin Yellen? It was her college classmate and her best friend.

Lips chapped, Verian muttered without strength, “Guinnie? You… why are you here?”

She touched her chest and realized that her father’s urn was gone. She struggled to get up as her voice trembled. “Guinnie, did you see my father’s urn?!”

Guin held her up and said, “It’s here. It’s not gone. Don’t get up, the doctor said that your body is still weak.”

Guin Yellen handed her the urn. She embraced with all her strength as if it was her most precious possession.

Outraged, Guin scolded the Sheena mother and daughter duo after learning what happened to Verian. She reached out to hug her and said, “I wouldn’t have met you if I hadn’t come to the hospital to visit my uncle’s newborn daughter. My uncle’s family is in the VIP baby room next door. Call me if you need anything. Although I couldn’t be of much help to you, my uncle can certainly help you. Have a good rest. I’ll come and see you again soon.”

Guin patted Verian’s back and let her hug the urn. She tucked her into the bed and smiled. “Rianie, rest well, and call me if you need anything!”

Verian’s thoughts were muddled. The image of her father jumping off a building kept appearing in her mind as she closed her eyes.

Tears silently dripped down the corner of her eyes.

Guin went back to the baby room.

She felt a certain tension in the room as soon as she entered.

Holding onto his crutch, John Fudd was staring at the newborn baby in the incubator with complicated feelings. “This is nonsense, Heaton Fudd! I cannot believe you did such a ridiculous thing!”

The old man lifted his crutch and hit Heaton’s leg hard. He lowered his voice, and angrily asked, “Where is the biological mother?”

Heaton pursed his thin lips. Face calm and composed, he said, “She died in childbirth.”

John Fudd was left speechless.

“…”

His blood was boiling. “Are you trying to piss me off?!”

Guin leaned over the incubator. Holding onto the old man’s arm, she whispered softly, “Grandpa, look how cute is my little cousin. Don’t be angry. Haven’t you been urging uncle to get married and have children? Now that uncle has a child, why are you so angry?”

“I wanted him to get married first before having children and not to just bring back a kid! He did not even inform me, and his daughter was born! Am I still a father to him?”

At this moment, the nurse came in and reminded them politely, “President Fudd, please lower your voice as it is affecting the baby.”

John Fudd opened his mouth. He looked at the cute baby inside the incubator and could not help but to let out a sigh. Holding his crutch, he left the baby room.

Guin smiled ambiguously at Heaton. “Uncle, you surely are fast. You somehow managed to have a daughter before you even have a girlfriend. Congratulations.”

“You’re just a kid. Stay out of grownups’ affairs.”

Heaton gazed at the baby who was sound asleep and said, “Take care of your cousin, I have to step out for a bit.”

Heaton walked out of the baby room after leaving behind an unrebukable order.

The driver returned after paying the medical bills. “President Fudd, the woman’s medical expenses are all settled.”

“Where is she?”

Mr. Lius gestured towards the ward. “She’s right next door, there…”

However, the bed was empty. Confused, he scratched his head and asked, “Hey, where is she?”

A nurse went in to clean up the ward. Heaton frowned and asked, “Where is the girl staying in this ward?”

“Do you know her? She just left.”

    Serene realized she was on a hospital bed when she woke up. She raised her hand and saw it was inserted with an IV. "Dr. Hayes, what happened?" "Well, do you know that you have low blood pressure? You forget everything when you're working. You could have been in big trouble if we didn't treat it in time. You're lucky you fainted in the hospital. What if it happened in the middle of nowhere? Who would get you to the hospital then?" Serene felt a little embarrassed after Dr. Hayes lectured her. She apologized, "I'm sorry for troubling you, Dr. Hayes." "Get some rest. Don't rush back to your department after the drip is done. Be good, and rest well." "Dr. Hayes, I'm fine… I will eat some chocolate." Dr. Hayes gave her a piercing look just after she finished her sentence. "Silly girl! You are okay, but the baby in your belly needs rest." Serene was stunned; she thought she had misheard it. "Dr. Hayes, what did you say?" What? A baby? Dr. Hayes looked at her in shock. "You

    The next morning, Serene grabbed two steamed buns and headed straight to the hospital. She did not even accompany Wilson at breakfast. Wilson felt that the woman was a little upset after he told her that he did not want kids for the time being. After a busy morning at work, Serene had lunch in the canteen with her colleagues. She had lunch with a head nurse and a female doctor from their department. The doctor asked, "Nurse, why is Lydia absent today?" Lydia was a young nurse from their department. The chubby head nurse said, "Didn't you guys know that Lydia is pregnant? She's about three months pregnant, and she's doing her antenatal check-up in our hospital." Serene was slightly stunned. "I thought Lydia is not married yet?" "That's the problem. She got pregnant out of wedlock, and that's what made it more cumbersome. Her boyfriend has a weird family. He grew up in a poor family, and he's not local. He came from a place where the couple can only get married if she giv

    They were done with their game and business talks. Jinn had a run of bad luck with the cards that night; he had burned through most of his cash. He and Xander were still single, and they could not stand it when Heaton and Wilson flaunted their love. So, the two of them decided to leave earlier. Little Jelly Bean saw a rainbow cake from another table as they exited the Supreme Restaurant. Since his daughter wanted to have some dessert, he suggested they go for an afternoon tea before they headed home. Heaton ordered a whole table of desserts that the girls loved. It was all on Jinn, anyway. Verian said teasingly, "Jinn really picked the wrong friends." Heaton raised his eyebrows. "He's the owner of this restaurant; just make yourself at home." Little Jelly Bean dug into her strawberry ice cream. Her lips were smudged when she said, "Daddy, since we earned so much money today, can you bring me to the amusement park and buy me fried chicken this weekend?" Heaton stared at his

    Serene wrapped her arms around Wilson's neck. She appeared taller than the man as her legs encircled his waist. The woman furrowed her brows and glared at him. "Why didn't you approach me earlier if you already knew who I am?" If he had approached her earlier, she would have chosen a handsome and loyal guy like him instead of wasting three years of her youth with a guy like Chainer. Serene recalled her school days and thought about how she had been such a fool. Chainer never cared about her, but she always threw herself at him. Her last bit of fondness toward Chainer was all but gone after he tried to defame Wilson. Wilson carried her and put her on top of the kitchen counter. He supported himself with both hands pressed against the kitchen counter. "I've thought about approaching you earlier, but my identity and my job were too unusual. Furthermore, you were too young back then, too. I was afraid that I would scare you away." Serene asked, "Aren't you afraid that I would l

    Wilson was prepared to cook dinner after they got back to the apartment. "What do you want to eat for dinner?" "Stir-fried shredded potatoes with green pepper and tomato egg drop soup." Wilson opened the refrigerator and took the ingredients that he needed. "Again? Aren't you sick of them?" Serene ran to the kitchen from the living room. She stared at Wilson and asked hesitantly, "Hey… I need to ask you something." "Go ahead." Serene took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Chainer told me that you stole his woman." Stole his woman? Wilson wanted to laugh when he heard that. He put the tomatoes on the table and looked at Serene. "Did he tell you how I stole his woman?" Serene nodded and said, "He said you knew about Gwen's crush on him. So, you drank him under the table and made him sleep with Gwen after that." Wilson remained calm. He stared at her with his dark eyes. "If what he said was true, would you blame and hate me for it?" Serene bit her lips and frowned. "

    Serene turned around and was about to enter the office when Chainer grabbed her arm. Serene pulled back and turned around to look at him. "Is there anything else you need?" "Come on, Serene. Can't we talk about other stuff besides these usual platitudes?" Serene was amused. "Mr. Chainer, have you forgotten that we are no longer together? On top of that, we broke up a long time ago. I have a boyfriend now, and you have a fiancée; we shouldn't meet privately considering our current situation. If you want to send us your wedding invitation, you can get Gwen to give it to Wilson since they're related." "But you have your card, and he has his. You guys are not married yet, right?" Serene answered frankly, "Even though we're not married yet, we'll get married eventually." A trace of unhappiness flashed in Chainer's eyes. "Are you really planning to marry him?" Serene stared at him in disbelief and started to laugh. "Mr. Chainer, I don't think it's any of your business." "You
