After a night of progress, the news on the Internet intensified.
While the netizens came up with all kinds of conspiracies and guesses, Winters Corporation made an
announcement.
[Mr. Duke Winters will hold a press conference in Sea City Private Hospital at 10.00 am today. We
welcome the reporters to come on time.]
As soon as the announcement was released, the netizens on the internet instantly became excited.
[Is Duke Winters going to clarify?]
[Clarify? The invitation card is exposed. They must be getting engaged!]
[Why is he holding the press conference then?]
[Why are you in a rush? It’s 9 a.m. now. The press conference will start in an hour. I will watch the live
stream!] [I’ll watch it too!]
[……]
There was a heated discussion among the netizens before the press conference started.
Meanwhile, Adina just opened her eyes.
She cast a glance at the time. It was already 9 a.m. She actually slept in the hospital ward until this
hour!
She immediately sat up, and she realized that she was laying on the bed, while Duke… This man sat
on the balcony outside the ward. A laptop was put on his lap while he speedily tapped the keyboard.
When she just sat up, the man raised his head.
The two of them stared into each other’s eyes through the windows of the balcony.
When the sun in the early morning shone in, the dust in the air could be clearly seen, and the world
suddenly became quiet. It was only after Adina stared at him blankly for a few seconds that she
immediately snapped out of her daze. She shyly looked away and got off the bed.
When she turned around, she saw two copies of a marriage certificate that were left on the bedside.
She was stunned for a while.
Mrs. Winters took her action so quickly. She actually settled the marriage certificate so quickly.
Her hand paused for a while before she carefully picked up the marriage certificates and looked at
them.
What she saw was a photo.
To save up time, Mrs. Winters hired someone to photoshop this photo. They found the most decent
photos of her and Duke and made it a photo for the marriage certificate.
But it did not look out of place at all.
“We’ll go and take a wedding photoshoot again after our wedding.”
Duke walked in at some point. His leg injury had not recovered yet, so he walked with a limp.
He stood beside Adina and held her waist tightly.
His hand was so warm that made Adina subconsciously tremble.
When she recalled the scene where they kissed and hugged each other on the bed last night, she
immediately took a step back, and awkwardly said, “It’s late now. Quickly get ready. There’s a press
conference later.” Duke spread out his arms and righteously said, “I haven’t recovered yet. You help me
put on my clothes.”
Adina was speechless.
This man was so shameless!
He clearly said he recovered last night. He kissed and held her!
But now he shamelessly said he had not recovered yet.
She scoffed before she threw the suit from the bedside at him and simply said, “Put it on yourself.”
The suit was thrown right at Duke’s chest. He covered the wound and made a grunt. “It’s painful.”
Adina immediately walked over, and she looked worried as she said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on
purpose. Are you okay? Should I call the doctor to come and check on you?”
Right after she spoke, her lips were kissed.
The man kissed her lips for a while before he let go of her. He said with a husky voice, “I told you
yesterday that I recovered. You silly woman. Why do you still believe my terrible lie?”
