My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 651

Chapter 651 "Addy, aren't you in the hospital? Why are you back so suddenly?"

Mabel changed her shoes and greeted Adina while holding her hand, like usual. She was startled when she touched her hand." Why are your hands so cold? You need more layers. Don't get sick. Come, let's go upstairs and get you a coat."

Adina pulled her hand away.

The bright lights in the living room shone on her face. Her indifferent gaze, bloodshot eyes, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth were clearly visible.

Mabel finally sensed something was not right. She put down her handbag, and said with a heavy sigh, "Addy, what happened?"

"You already know it, don't you?" asked Adina.

Mabel's expression changed instantly when she heard what Adina said.

She clenched her fists as she asked calmly, "What do you mean? I already know what?"

"Your twin sons. Both of them are dear to you. I neither understand why you sent the eldest son away nor why you helped him kill your second son after two decades ..." Adina's smile turned strange. "Mrs. Winters, Duke called you 'Mother' for more than twenty years. How could you just watch him die?"

"No! That's not the case!"

Mabel shook her head vigorously.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. She lost her composure, and she covered her mouth. "Addy, that's not the case. How can I bring about Duke's death? He's my son, my biological son. How can I watch him die...? I'm at the end of my rope. I didn't have any other choice. I'm in despair too..."

Her knees buckled, and she fell onto the sofa while weeping

softly.

Addy's heart sank instantly.

She was still holding onto the last glimmer of hope, wanting to believe that Duke was still alive...

However, with how Mabel reacted, things were pretty clear.

She did not even notice when she had started crying. When she realized it, tears were already streaming down her face.

"Addy, I had no other choice back then. Earl had a heart disease. The doctor said he wouldn't live past his first birthday. I had to send him away. I'm a mother. How can I bear to let my son go?! Mabel was crying her heart out. She had always kept this matter a secret, and now she was finally able to spill her thoughts.

"Earl had been weak the moment he was born, but the Winters family abandoned him. We owe him this. It's natural that he hates the family. For so many years, I've been trying to make it up to him, but he always moves around and lives beyond the world of normalcy. It's difficult for me to even meet him.....

"He has suffered and lived in the shadows for two decades. He was finally able to experience what it's like, living as a normal person. Addy, please, don't expose him. Let him live like a normal person. I've already lost a son. I don't want to lose another one..."

Mabel grabbed Adina's sleeve.

Adina pushed her away harshly.

"How about Duke? Who will stand up for him?"

Mabel cried harder. "Duke is already dead. He will never come back to life. There's nothing I can do. I just want to make the one who's still alive happy..."

Adina felt extremely disappointed.

Just because one of her sons died, she's willing to put up with whatever crimes the other son commits? I'm not that kind.
