Harold cried.
"I’m sorry.I shouldn’t have been so clumsy.Mommy looked very angry.What should I do?" Harold felt
hopeless.
"Why is Mommy so angry? Why was she so scary?"
When he remembered the way his mother had looked at him, with anger and hatred, his heart felt
heavy.
George pursed his lips.
"The dress is a gift from Daddy.I suppose Mommy likes that dress too much.Maybe that’s why she was
angry."
"Even if that’s the case, she never gets so angry."
Alden sat by the window.His eyes were troubled, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"There has to be something that we don’t know." Melody sobbed.
"Alden, I’ve never seen her like that before.I think I saw.."
She saw her mother bite her father’s shoulder.When her father had carried her mother into the
mansion, his shoulder was bleeding.
‘Mommy loves Daddy so much.Why would she bite him like that?’ Melody could not say all this aloud.
She was afraid that her mind was playing tricks on her.
"Mommy is not scary.Don’t be like this," said Alden.
"I’ll prepare breakfast with you and apologize to Mommy tomorrow morning." Harold nodded obediently.
"Okay.I'll make sure I do well.I won’t make Mommy angry again."
The children were scared inside the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Duke felt dejected in the master bedroom.He thought Adina rejected him only in that
condition.He had never expected her to act like that even with her children.
She adored them.That meant whoever controlled the chip had something against their children as well.
‘Earl is a b*stard!’ Duke sat by the bed.
He treated his wound while keeping a close watch on Adina who was lying on the bed.He was afraid
she might lash out again.
Fortunately, Adina slept through the night.
Early in the morning, Duke received an email from Blake.
The email was about an interview with the victims who had been implanted with the bio-intelligent
chip.He took his phone and read the ten-thousand-word news report attentively.
The victims were military officers near the Hestia Border.
There were only three interviewees, and the news report contained stories of misery and tragedy.
"Duke, why do you look so solemn?" said Adina's voice.
Duke turned off his phone.He turned around and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Addy, good morning."
Adina wrapped her hands around his neck and smiled.
"Good morning."
