My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Whenever she met this man, he would always look clean and handsome, but there was actually a light stubble around his lips now.

They were not very close. They were just collaboration partners, but he had stayed by her side in the hospital last night. While she thought about it, Duke walked out of the ward. Adina looked away and took out her phone to call Alden.

–“Hello, Mom, are you awake?”

Alden‘s obedient and mature voice did not sound out of the ordinary on the other end of the line. Adina wore a gentle smile and said, “I‘ll be discharged soon. Wait for me at home for about half an hour. I‘ll send you to preschool.” “Mom, you can rest in the hospital for a little longer. I can take Mel to preschool,” Alden said obediently. “We‘ll take Bus 13 to preschool, and we can get off after five stops. It‘ll only take ten minutes. Don‘t worry, Mom.”

Adina secretly sighed.

If she were a responsible mother who was not too busy with her work, would Alden be so mature?

Her children were born without a father, and she was constantly busy with work. Compared with other children, Alden and Melody really had an unfortunate childhood. Suddenly, Adina recalled that middle–aged man she had met on the cruise last night! That man could precisely tell her what happened that night five years ago. He was the person who ruined her back then!

Alden held Melody‘s hand tightly and responded indifferently. “Why are you asking?» “You‘re so young, and it‘s very dangerous for you to take the bus alone. Where would you like to go? I can send you there, okay?” The uncle handed over the candy before he raised his arm and suddenly reached out toward Melody‘s fair and gentle face. Alden held Melody‘s hand and avoided the man. His eyes were filled with disdain. “How dare you touch my sister?!”
