Two bodyguards had been waiting downstairs. Duke threw the doctor over to them and coldly said,
“Find a laboratory and keep him there for a month first.”
The bodyguards covered the doctor’s mouth and dragged him away as he begged for mercy. Adina
pursed her lips before she said, “He’s working for Earley. You mentioned that Earley’s a very
dangerous person. If you deal with the doctor, won’t Earley cause you trouble?”
“I’m not afraid of his retaliation. As long as he comes, I have a lot of ways to deal with him.”
Duke’s eyes were full of darkness. His father’s death was the one thing he could not get over all these
years.
Now, Earl even wanted to hurt his woman and tattoo her body. That was something he would never
tolerate.
If Earl dared to enter Sea City again, he would make Earl learn what it meant to be defeated by his rival
again when he was down.
Adina looked at Duke’s profound gaze and softly said, “Thank you, Mr. Winters.”
If he had not come looking for her, perhaps she would have encountered something more terrifying
When Duke heard her voice, the darkness on his face disappeared like a melted iceberg. He finally
composed himself. He pursed his lips and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital for an
examination.”
Adina took a look at her watch and casually said, “It’s getting late now. I have to pick the kids up from
preschool. I’ll go and pick them up first.”
“Get into my car.”
Duke pulled open the car door. Adina combed through her hair and said, “I drove over, so I can drive
my car.”
“Get into the car.” Duke’s tone was overbearing, and he did not allow her to question him.
” You’ve just inhaled an unknown substance, and you were unconscious for so long. I don’t think it’s
safe for you to drive.”
Adina looked at him for a few seconds before she compromised and sat in the passenger seat.
She had a pretty strong personality, so she did not like people who were overbearing
Yet, for some reason, her heart pounded a little fast while Duke ordered her to get into the car parler
Was it is how it tell to fall in love?
Adina I Willor cu, but Duke suddenly stopped it by the road. Duke ubuckled his seatbelt and yollly well
“live illellorues minutes.”
He pushed open the car door and got out before he speedily entered a mall. Adina felt dizzy indeed.
Perhaps it was the effect of the drug. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, Duke came
back holding a light pink scarf. “Here, I’ll put it on you.”
Adina was momentarily stunned. But she quickly understood why he did that. Her tattooed collarbone
was still swollen. If Alden and Melody saw it, they would definitely ask her what happened. Alden was
brilliant. She would be exposed as soon as she lied. She should just cover the tattoo with a scarf. Adina
felt conflicted.
“Thank you, Mr. Winters.”
Duke stared at her seriously. “I think we’re not distant to the extent that you can only call me Mr.
Winters.’ What do you think, Addy?”
As he stared at her, Adina felt her heart pound uncontrollably fast again. When he called her Addy, it
was like an electric charge that sent a tingling sensation through her gut. She immediately looked away
and awkwardly said, “I promised to call you
‘Duke’ last time, but I’m still not used to it, so sometimes I end up making mistakes. If I accidentally call
you’ Mr. Winters’ again, please remind me.”
Duke finally felt satisfied. He started the engine and slowly drove toward the preschool. Right after they
arrived, the preschool bell rang to end classes for the day. The children’s laughter was the purest
melody in the world.
