Adina was dumbfounded.She finally understood why Duke hated Earl so much and why he had to drive Earl out of Sea City.
If not for Earl, his father would not have died.
Even if his father died, he should not have had to carry such a stigma.
âHeâs a typical sociopath.Even after my father sacrificed his life for him, he did not change in the slightest.â
Duke slowly said, âHe constantly believes that the Winters family mistreated him and that he lives a painful life because of my existence in this world.After our father died, he got triggered and plotted numerous assassinations.I was lucky to escape his hands with my life intact.â
Adina hugged him tightly.
âPeople like him should be punished in prison rather than continue to harm others outside.â
Duke hugged her slim waist with a backhand and said softly, âFor the time being, I canât remember anything that happened after I turned fifteen, and I have no idea why I didnât put him in jail.Perhaps it had something to do with my mother.She felt the Winters family owed Earl, so she should have stopped me from doing so.â
Adina sighed.
âWhat if Mrs.Winters forces you to release Earl next? What will you do?â
âIt is impossible to let him go.â
stared at her about you, perhaps I could have given him another chance, but he should never have laid a hand on you.Iâm very grateful that you recognized me at first glance, and I also appreciate that you didnât lose hope in we agree not to deliberately acted pouty and grabbed grabbed his collar, she felt the deep lust in Dukeâs eyes.She see quiet outside.The children should be sleeping by now.â Dukeâs voice became for not ask this glance did her wrist and she was smoothly drawn corners of her eyes to her lips, temperature inside the room rose steeply, and the soft night was long and the moonlight was nearly falling apart, and she sleep for over a month.He had to be vigilant even this night, he this woman in his arms started âDonâtâ¦Donât cut my face-aargh!!!â
Adina covered her face and awakened in shock. She sat straight, a layer of cold sweat seeping through her back.She looked like she had been fished out of the water.
âDonât be scaredâ¦â
Duke hugged her in his arms.
âI am here.No one will hurt you again.â
Adina leaned against Dukeâs chest and listened to his sonorous heartbeat.She then gradually calmed down.It was bizarre how she would dream about the time when Isabelle kidnapped her.
Although her disfigured face made her a little upset, it did not traumatize her, so why would she dream about that scene?
âI will find you the best plastic surgeon, and you will restore your face as before.â
Duke patted her back while softly comforting her.
âDonât worry about this matter.Itâs going to be all right.â
Adina held his hand and said, âIâm fine.I donât care too much about the matter of my disfigurement.Itâs just that the wound is a bit itchy again.â
She scratched through the gauze.
Duke quickly pressed her restless little hand.
âThe doctor had already told you not to scratch it.Iâll get you some anti â inflammatory medicine.After you take the medicine, go back to sleep.â
