There was so much blood. Was she already…
“No!”
Duke’s eyes were bloodshot.
He realized, too late, that he should be calling the ambulance.
He patted his body all over, but he could not find his phone. He had dropped his phone somewhere
when he fought just now.
While he searched for his phone, the sound of footsteps slowly approached him.
As though he grasped the last straw, he spoke in a sobbing tone, “Could you please lend me your
phone?” He looked up. He was at the backlight angle, so he could only see a skinny figure walking
toward him.
“Why do you want my phone?”
An indifferent voice was heard through the backlight.
Duke’s mind was buzzing. In an instant, he had not realized it. He said in a deep voice, “I need to call
an ambulance.”
“Why do you want to call an ambulance?”
Adina slowly walked over.
She saw that Duke knelt on the ground, and there was a sack in front of him that kept bleeding.
This man’s eyes were red, and his gaze was filled with pain. His voice cracked, as if he was close to
bursting into tears.
So, did he look like this because he thought she was the one in the sack and almost died because of
falling down?
At that moment, Adina’s heart was filled with countless emotions.
She walked over, squatted down, and tore apart the sack.
Before Duke was able to stop her, he saw that the sack actually contained a plastic dummy. The
dummy was tied with countless blood bags, and it would bleed so much only because the blood bags
were broken.
“Duke Winters, your sons are brilliant. Are you sure they got their IQ from you?” Adina purposely said in
a calm voice, “Is that possible for a normal person to bleed so much? Why didn’t you think about it?”
Duke stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
He suddenly leaned forward and pulled the woman into his arms.
“Luckily, you’re fine. Luckily, you’re all right.”
He rested his chin on her shoulder while he muttered softly.
His mind had gone blank just now. He was so fixated on saving her, he failed to even realize that the
person talking to him was the person whom he wanted to save.
His IQ was not low, but he was really frightened. He was afraid that he would have to suffer the pain of
loss before he even owned her.
“Addy, I’m sorry.”
Duke held her tightly while he whispered softly.
Adina could feel that his arms were holding her more and more tightly, as if he wanted to be one with
her.
Her heart fluttered, and she slowly closed her eyes.
She had seen this man’s affection for her.
If he did not care about her, he would not have come here alone to save her.
If he did not truly care about her, he would not have said those words to Earley.
He did not truly care about her, why would a 180cm -tall man suddenly become so stupid that he
almost cried at a sack?
He truly liked her, right? He did not like her because of the kids, but because of who she was.
This feeling made Adina’s heart melt.
Five years ago, she was forced to harden herself against the cruel reality of the world. Over the years,
she had built up a wall, so no one was able to hurt her. Naturally, it was difficult for anyone to get into
her heart.
But this time, she was really moved.She suddenly wanted to give herself to him, the biological father of
her four kids.
Just as Adina was about to speak, the man, who held her tightly, suddenly lost his strength, and he fell
unconscious.
It was only after she touched his body that she realized Duke’s hands and legs were full of blood. It had
been caused by the beating from the eight bodyguards in his bid to save her.
She sighed before she helped Duke stand up and walk outside.
At this time, a light shone in from the outside of the warehouse.
