My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 853

Chapter 853 "Addy, calm down." Duke wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let me go!" Adina pushed Duke away. The push tugged the needle out of her arm. Blood spilled and sprayed on the snow-white sheet.

Duke tried to stop her and help her with her wound and the bleeding. But she avoided him." Stay away from me! Duke, get away!" Duke spoke softly, "Addy, you need an infusion. I'll call the nurse to come and help you with the infusion, okay?"

"I don't want any infusion! I don't want an injection! Stop making decisions on my behalf without my permission!".

Adina put on her shoes and headed out of the ward. They were on the fourth floor. There was a corridor outside the ward.

Duke reached Adina and hugged her.

"Let go of me! Get your hands off me!" Adina tried to break free from his grasp. She tried to push him away. Duke held onto her. He was afraid she might hurt herself, so he didn't let her go. "Addy, don't do this, please," he said, hoarsely. "Addy, I'm Duke. I'm your husband." "I know you're Duke. I don't want to see you. Get your hands off me! Don't touch me!" She was agitated. She struck Duke's chest with all her might. She even bit the back of his hand.

No matter how hard she tried to break free from his grasp, Duke held her to him even more tightly. The back of her hand hurt. The smell of blood spread in her mouth, and she gradually calmed down. "Addy, I'm Duke. I'm your husband. You are alright," Duke said again. He spoke softly, trying to comfort the agitated and restless Adina. It took a long time for Adina to finally calm down. "Addy, shall we go and lay down on the bed?" Duke asked cautiously. She did not refuse this time. She didn't struggle when he walked her to the bed back into the ward. Duke glanced at the back of her hand where she had forcibly tugged the needle out. The needle hole had scabbed. He dared not call the nurse. He waited patiently for Adina to calm herself first.

The doctor stood at the door. He wanted to inspect her, but Duke waved his hand and sent him away.

The ward fell silent. They heard the whistling of the wind outside. The quieter the environment was, the more restless he felt.

Finally, Adina looked at him, recognition dawning on her face. She looked confused. "Duke... why are you here? Wait, why am I in the hospital?" Duke looked solemn. He spoke gently, "You fainted at the site. The doctor said it was because of stress and you needed to rest. How do you feel now?"

"Apart from feeling a little dizzy, I'm fine." Adina reached out and pressed her temple. She noticed the blood scab on the back of her hand and the IV tube that had been pulled out. The medicine was still dripping, and the floor was wet.

She was shocked. "What's going on?" Duke's heart sank, but he pretended to be cheerful. "You had a nightmare and accidentally pulled out the needle. I was afraid of waking you up in your condition. Should I call the nurse to do the infusion again?"

Adina nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Duke."
