My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 646

Chapter 646

It made her jealous to the extreme.

She held her pen tightly, and the tip of the pen punctured the paper in her hands.

As if Adina did not notice Catherine's emotions, she raised her voice and called out, "Duke, are you there?"

He opened the ward door at the next second. Clearly, Earl had been guarding the door.

That turned Catherine's expression a little colder.

"What's wrong, Addy?" Earl walked in and cast an unfriendly gaze at Catherine.

Catherine was furious. She did not do anything!

"Duke, I'd like to drink some coffee to calm my nerves." Adina's voice was soft and weak, while her eyes were watery. "I like the freshly ground latte from the coffee shop on Assembly Street. Can you buy one for me?"

Earl stroked her hair in a comforting way. "Okay, I'll be back in a minute."

He left as soon as he said that, as though he was afraid of delaying Adina's coffee.

Catherine's jealousy could no longer suppress her jealousy.

She stood up uncontrollably. "Is there water? I'd like to drink some water. Mineral water is fine."

Adina pointed at the few bottles of water in the corner. "The nurse brought them this morning. They're still unopened."

Catherine walked over and picked up a bottle of water. She unscrewed the cap and drank half of its contents.

After she drank the cold water, she finally felt her jealousy and restless emotions disappear for a moment.

She calmly walked over, pursed her lips, and said, "Ms. Daugherty, let's continue. Let's not talk about the nightmares. Tell me the story about you and Mr. Winters. It'll help me to understand your condition."

Adina nodded and softly said, "Our story isn't very complicated. After I returned from abroad, something happened when I drove out. Our daughter discovered him first. Perhaps it was the connection between father and daughter because she immediately ran and threw herself into Duke's arms. That should be the first time we officially met..."

Catherine silently listened to Adina.

She felt her surroundings grow quieter. Slowly, even Adina's voice turned into a humming sound. Then, she closed her eyes and directly fell asleep.

"Ms. Catherine... Catherine..."

Adina tried to call out to Catherine and give her a nudge. Once Catherine stopped responding, Adina rolled over and got out of bed.

She quickly walked up to the ward door, held her breath, and listened to the movement outside. Only the doctors and nurses

were walking back and forth. The man had not returned.

It would take at least forty minutes to travel to and from Assembly Street and buy a coffee.

Ten minutes had passed, so she still had half an hour.

"Pete, come out."

As soon as Adina spoke, a man crawled out of the cabinet in the ward.

It was a blond-haired guy with blue eyes. He was skinny, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses.

"Daugherty, I've done you a great favor this time. You'll have to reward me!"

Right after he got off the plane, he posed as a nurse and sneaked into the ward. He had hidden in the cabinet for a day. His limbs were numb, and he almost died in there.

Adina pulled him up and softly said, "We're running out of time. Let's get down to business first."

Pete stood up, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and looked at the woman who had fainted on the couch. He smiled and said, "It really is Catherine. I met her at a seminar before. She was extremely arrogant. It's hard to hypnotize someone with a strong mind like her, but I'll give it a try."
