My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 854

Chapter 854 "Don't mention it. Just lie down and rest. I'll call the doctor now." Duke stroked her hair before he stood up and walked out of the ward. He did not go far. He stood at the door and waved at a nurse to come over. The nurse brought the medicine with her. She inserted the syringe back into Adina's hand. This time, the nurse made sure to tape several strips of gauze on her hand to prevent it from being pulled out so easily.

Adina looked down. She tried to recall everything that had happened. She was certain she did not just wake up. She was certain she did not pull out the needle during a nightmare. Something was amiss... 'Did something more happen? Why didn't that voice appear in her mind this time? Could that voice have entered into the marrow of her bones and became her instinct?'

"Addy, what are you thinking?" Duke's voice interrupted her train of thoughts. "Nothing." Adina looked up. She smiled. "When are they going to discharge me from the hospital?" "You're under great pressure. You need to take a good rest. You can be discharged from the hospital anytime." Duke stared at her. "The doctor said you have to rest for at least a week. During the week, let me handle all your work. How does that sound?"

Adina chuckled. "I'm more than happy to have you handle LaStar Technology Corporation and Daugherty Corporation's businesses. But many people are keeping a close watch on me, so it's best that I personally handle them. Since I'm sick, you have to bear with me. You might have to see me off to work and pick me up daily. Is that okay?"

Duke looked at her tenderly. A moment ago, she was violent and hysterical. But now she was gentle, rational and lovely as always. The two drastic personalities seemed impossible to exist in the same person. Yet, the two personalities truly came from the same person-Adina. Duke suppressed his complicated thoughts. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders." Whatever you want. I don't mind accompanying you to work."

A gentle smile appeared on Adina's lips. She snuggled into his arms. Even though she felt a little sick, she felt at peace here. She felt safe and secure in his arms. There was nothing more blissful than this. Even though she did not feel comfortable physically, she felt peaceful. She had a safe haven to rely on. There was nothing more blissful than this.

Before the medicine took effect, their children came to see her.

"Mommy, are you alright?" Alden rushed into the ward. He looked concerned. "I heard that you passed out at the site."

Harold went up to Adina and pushed Alden away. He climbed onto the bed and sobbed." Mommy, don't go back to work anymore. Rest at home. What happens if you faint again, and no one is around you?" George nodded. "Mommy, you can hand over the company's businesses to me. I can handle them."

"George can't handle all of them. I can lend him a helping hand," Alden continued.

Harold refused to be outdone by his two older brothers. "Mommy, if you stay at home, I can accompany you so that you won't feel bored. I can tell you jokes every day"

Melody tilted her head. "Mommy, if you stay at home, I can play piano for you. Listening to piano music can make you feel better.". Adina was happy that her children had grown so much, and they even offered to help. She vividly remembered the day when they were born. They were so small. Now, they will be turning five soon.

With the children to keep her company, she felt happy to be in this place. The bottle of medicine soon finished.

Her overall health was fine, but she needed more rest. After an injection, the family returned to the Winters family's mansion by car. When Duke got down from his car, he noticed a foreigner waiting in the living room. Mr. Brown received the guest. Duke spoke softly, "Addy, my friend has arrived. Come, let's meet him." Adina turned to the guest sitting in the living room. The guest had tanned skin and was tall. She had never seen him before. She could not understand when Duke had gotten acquainted with him. He introduced them.
