My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392

“How were the kids born four years ago?” Duke slowly asked. He had read the news four years ago. That night had been described in graphic detail by the reporters, but there was a combination of truth and lies.

The only thing he could be sure of was that Adina did not go to a hospital the day she gave birth. She gave birth to the four babies in the Daugherty family’s warehouse. Even a normal person had to risk her life to give birth to one baby. He could not imagine how she successfully gave birth to the four babies, Besides, he had also heard that the Daugherty family’s mansion was set on fire that night. Adina pursed her lips with a blank look. “George and Harold were born first. When they were born, they were not breathing, so I thought that they…”

She started to quiver before she resumed. “Dew took the babies away. I didn’t know where she brought them, but I always thought that the kids were dead.”

She looked down and hid all the emotions in her eyes. Duke felt as if he was tearing her scars that had already scabbed over “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered from all of this,” he said apologetically. “It’s alright. It’s all in the past.” Adina raised her head and had already schooled her gaze by then. The pain that she had suffered over the years had passed. She was no longer that fragile.

Duke just stared at her firmly. He conjured up the figure of the woman from five years ago in his mind, and her face slowly overlapped with Adina’s face.

No wonder he did not have any feelings for Dew. It turned out that the woman was Adina.

This woman was with him five years ago.

This was his woman.

Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence in the ward.

Duke glanced at the incoming call. It was Mrs. Winters. He then gestured at Adina to keep quiet.

As soon as he picked up the call, Mrs. Winters’ nervous voice came from the other end. “Duke, Brown said that you were shot. What happened?” Duke frowned and calmly said, “Mr. Brown likes to exaggerate things. I’m fine. I’ll be discharged tomorrow.” After he said that, he prepared to hang up.

“Hold on, I heard that you had quadruplets four years ago instead of a pair of twins?” Mrs. Winters said coldly.

Duke subconsciously glanced at Adina before he answered, “Mom, where did you hear that from?”

“I haven’t been in Sea City lately, but that doesn’t mean I know nothing.” Mrs. Winters said indifferently. “I don’t want to know what happened between you and the Daugherties, but you have to get our family’s bloodline back. The Winters family children have to be back with their original family.”

Mrs. Winters’ voice was very loud when she uttered that last sentence, and Adina could vaguely hear her.
