It was snowing again.
Crystal snowflakes fell on the balcony and windows.
Duke was aware that Adina liked snow.She used to grab a handful of snow from the balcony early in
the morning and bring them into the house like a little girl.
However, at this moment, she was indifferent to the snow outside the window.
The snowfall grew heavier, and soon, the balcony was covered in a thick layer of snow.
After one or two hours, Adina turned her head around.
"Duke, it’s snowing." Duke was relieved.He walked to the balcony and hugged her.
"Yes, it’s snowing.It’s getting cold.Rest well at home tomorrow.You can assign your work to your
subordinates,"he said softly.
Adina nestled in his arms and said, "There’s still something I have to personally handle." She yawned
and looked at her watch.
"My god! It’s already 2:00 am." She was shocked.
Duke hugged her and gently said, "It was already late when you got back to the room.It’s time to go to
bed now."
He helped Adina back to bed and covered her with a blanket before switching off the light.
Adina nestled in his arms.She felt a slight pain in the back of her head.She was aware that she had lost
her memory for the past hour again.She did not know what had happened in the last hour, and she did
not want Duke to worry about her.
Whenever this happened, her face would hurt on the right...
Isabelle had most likely done something to the right side of her face.She would go to the company and
contact Flint tomorrow.She needed his help to find Isabelle’s remaining subordinates so that she could
discover the cause.
That night, both Duke and Adina did not sleep well.
Perhaps it was because of the snow, but dawn arrived very soon.
When Adina woke up, Duke had already changed his clothes.She leaned against the bedframe and
yawned.
"I’m sleepy."
"Continue sleeping then." Duke planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Put aside the company’s issues for the time being."
"I have to make a trip to the site.I don’t have time to rest."
Adina looked at the view outside the window.
"I wonder why it keeps snowing this year.In the past, I would yearn to see the snow but it wouldn’t
happen.If it continues to snow, the project will come to a halt."
Duke buttoned his shirt and wore his tie before he softly responded, "A friend of mine is coming to Sea
City today.Come back early.I’ll arrange for the both of you to meet."
"Is he an important friend of yours?" Adina asked.
"Do you have to purposely arrange for both of us to meet each other?"
"You'll find out when you see him."
A smile formed across Duke’s lips.
His "friend" was a doctor whom he had asked Blake to locate.
The doctor was partially skilled in witchcraft.
Duke suspected that the people from Hestia Border had put a hex on Adina.
Even though he did not believe in witchcraft, the presence of witch doctors pushed him over the edge.
Perhaps, the existence of certain things could not be explained with science.
"Okay, I’ll come home early tonight," Adina replied to him softly.
After Duke left the house, she contacted Flint.
By the time she was ready to depart from the house, it was 10:00 am, and it had stopped snowing.
The sun shone in the sky, welcoming a sunny day.
Adina drove to the resort, which was located on the outskirts.Graham, Mr.Wilson, and Daniel were
already waiting for her.
The resort project had reached the second stage, and the surrounding villagers had been relocated.
They were now catching up with work on the site...
