Harold was shaken.
Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw the anger and disgust in his mother’s eyes directed towards
him.
"Mommy, don’t hate me," Harold's voice trembled.
"I’m sorry.It’s my fault.I will try not to be so clumsy anymore."
He slowly approached Adina and held her hand.But Adina swung his hand away.
"I told you not to touch me!"
Adina was agitated and restless.She raised her hand and knocked the chocolate strawberry cake to the
ground.
Everyone in the dining room was stunned, especially her children.
Harold’s tears streamed down his cheek.
Melody bit her bottom lip.She dared not cry out loud.
"All of you, go back to your rooms," said Duke carefully.
He placed a hand on Adina’s shoulder.
"Don’t touch me!" Adina pushed his hand away.
"All of you, get out now!" She cradled her head and charged outside.Her head was going to split.
It hurt too much! A voice rang in her mind.
‘Leave them! Get out of there now!’ She had no idea where she was heading.
She rushed outside without a sense of direction.Her children were scared.
Duke’s face darkened.
"Mr.Brown, what are you waiting for? Take the kids upstairs and make sure they are safe."
"Noted!"
Mr.Brown led the children upstairs quickly.Alden saw everything.He obediently followed Mr.Brown
upstairs.
After he entered his bedroom, he stood by the window and observed the commotion downstairs.
Duke had Adina in his arms.He was talking to her gently, trying to calm her.But he sounded scared.
"Addy, it’s alright.Let's go in, alright?"
"Let me go! Get your hands off me!" Adina shouted.
"Addy, please.Our children are scared.Come home with me.I beg you."
Adina struggled against Duke.She then bit his shoulder when he didn’t let go.She could taste blood in
her mouth.
Unlike the hospital, where she had regained her senses when she had bit him, this time it did not
work.She bit him and struggled to break free from his grip.She had no care for him.
