Chapter 861 âMommy, I forgot what I wanted to say to you.â Harold scratched the back of his head,
pretendingto remember what he had wanted to tell her.
Adina laughed.
âLet me know if you remember it, okay?â Harold nodded.
He sighed in relief.
Mr.
Brown called them downstairs.
âAI, Georgie, Hal, Mel, get ready for preschool!â George obediently took his siblings downstairs.
When the children left the mansion, it was very quiet.
Adina was instructed to rest at home for at least three days.
She was worried about her own health, so she heeded the instruction and stayed in the study room,
reading books.
Duke did not leave for his office either.
He worked inside the study room and stayed at Adinaâs side.
The sound of his fingers tapping on the keyboards calmed Adina.
She found an interesting novel and shared it with Duke.
The sunlight was warm, and the snow had melted.
Infobagh
It was a very quiet and peaceful morning.
Buzz!
The call disturbed their serene moment.
Duke glanced at his phone.
âI have to take this.â Adina nodded.
Duke walked to the corridor outside the study to take the call.
âI sent Earlâs fingerprint to your email.
Do you have any other orders for me?â Duke nodded.
âIs there any unusual movement from Earl?â âWhen I got his fingerprint this morning, he didnât fight back
or say anything.
But the woman who has just been sent over isâ¦â Blake paused for a moment.â The woman is all wounded.
Sheâs disfigured.
I donât know how much longer she can stay alive.â Duke narrowed his eyes.
When he sent Catherine, she was in good health.
âHow was she injured?â Catherine and Earl were former lovers.
âHow could Earl be so ruthless to her?â However, it made complete sense.
Earl was just such a person.
He had executed his own father.
âIs there anything in the world Earl wouldnât do?â âFind someone to tend to Catherine.
Donât put them two together in the same room,â said Duke.
âStrengthen the level of security.
Donât let Earl get away by any chance.â âNoted.â After Duke hung up, he found the fingerprintemail in his
inbox.
He instructed someone to make it into a fingerprint membrane.
He then returned to the study room.
Adina was lying on the couch.
She was half asleep.
When she heard him enter, she opened her eyes.
âWhat took you so long to make a phone call?â âSome company issues.â Duke hugged her.
âAre you tired? Do you want me to carry you to the bedroom?â
âI am justbored.â Adina yawned.
âI guess Iâm born to work in my life.
I donât have the luxury to enjoy leisure hours.
I am not familiar with spending my time idle
