The temperature in the ward instantly increased.
She was not an innocent girl who had not experienced anything. Although she did not quite understand
most things of a sexual nature, she still had some knowledge…
She knew that things would really get out of control if she let Duke continue kissing her.
“Stop… Stop kissing me…”
Adina raised her arms and lightly moved the man’s chest away.
Duke held the back of her head and rested his forehead against hers. His voice was hoarse and low. “I
still want to kiss you. What should I do?”
Adina’s face turned red, and her heart pounded quickly again.
She bit her swollen bottom lip. She felt shy and irritated as she said, “The ward door isn’t closed.”
“I’ll go and close it now.” As Duke spoke, he tried to jump off the bed.
Adina was speechless.
Did he mean that?
She quickly pressed him down. “You haven’t recovered. Don’t walk around. Just lie down.”
When Duke raised his head, he saw her glowing eyes and slightly swollen red lips. Her every move
gave off a seductive charm.
Duke subconsciously gulped.
If he were not injured and they were not in a hospital, he might have actually subdued this woman right
there.
Adina tried to remain calm. She drank some water and said, “Your mother wants to make our
engagement party grand, but I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I think it would be better for us to
keep a low profile.”
Duke held her fingers and asked, “Why?”
“You’ve protected George and Harold so well, but I nearly exposed Alden and Mel to the media
because I offended someone.” Adina pursed her lips and said, “Once we’re engaged, the media will
definitely criticize Alden and Mel. I don’t want this to have a negative impact on the kids.”
Duke stared at her and firmly said, “Alden and Mel are my kids too. I want the public to learn about
them on our engagement day.”
“No, you can’t!” Adina frowned and said, “Too many people are watching the Winters family now. If the
kids are exposed, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages. I don’t want any of our kids to be in
any potential danger.”
Duke pursed his lips tightly. How could he forget that Harold had gotten into an accident because of the
Fuller family not long ago?
The Fuller family had a grudge against the Winters family. If they could set up a trap to harm Harold,
they could also come up with other methods to harm the rest of the three kids. He paused for a while
before he resumed. “We can hold a low-profile engagement party. After I handle the big problems, we
have to make our wedding grand.”
Adina did not oppose any further.
The children would grow up one day, and they would have to face the storms of society. It was
impossible for her and Duke to hide them forever.
Once they grew older, they would have to slowly start facing various hardships and dangers.
Adina stayed overnight in the ward.
When she woke up in the morning, Duke was still sleeping.
She knew that there was a bruise at the back of his brain, so he needed to rest more. Therefore, she
did not disturb him. She just washed her face and left the ward to buy breakfast.
As soon as Adina walked out of the Inpatient Department, she saw a familiar figure standing at the end
of the corridor.
She was stunned for a second. “Flint, why are you here in the hospital?”
