Chapter 866 He had seen Dillon many times before, but Duke had never met him as his son-in-law.
âMr. Winters, nice to meet you.â Duke got up calmly and shook hands with Duke.
Duke politely said, âFather, you can call me by my name.â
Dillon had been very nervous meeting him. But when Duke called him âfatherâ, a smile appeared on his lips.
Since Duke addressed him as his father, just like Adina, he was sure that both of them were very close âFather, why are you here?â Adina served Dillon a cup of coffee âDaniel said you fainted. I wanted to visit you in the hospital, but I couldnât find time to do so.â Dillon stared at her with worry âYouâve only rested for a night. Are you feeling better?â
âI feel much better now. Itâs not a big issile,â Adina said. âI planned to go to the site and take a look at the progress of the project, but Duke insisted on having me rest at home. I feel bored at home.â
Dillon said solemnly. âYou have to listen to Duke. Rest at home You have Dan to take care of the project. If he canât handle it, you still have me and your grandpa. You donât have to worry.â
Duke nodded. âAddy said she wanted to go to the site after three days. I think she needs to rest at least seven days.â
âEven seven days is not enough. She has to rest for half a month.â Dillon said with a straight face.
âAddy, be a good girl. Rest at home for at least half a month. If something happened to you, Iâ¦â
Adina was at a loss for words, âSince when do they get along so well?â Adina felt like she couldnât stay home for half a month, doing nothing. She would be bored to death.
But she was aware that Dillon and Duke were concerned about her, so she agreed.
Dillon and Duke talked about the project before starting to talk about the Sea Cityâs current situation.
Adina yawned as she listened to them. She laid on the couch and felt drowsy.
Dillon stood up and excused himself. âLet Addy take a good rest first. Iâll go home now. If anything happens, please call me.â
Duke nodded, then he saw Dillon out of the mansion.
When Duke returned to the living room, Adina had fallen asleep on the couch.
He smiled and shook his head. He lifted her up and carried her up to their master bedroom. He then placed her on the bed gently.
When he was covering her with a blanket, her phone vibrated. It was Flint.
Duke frowned. He took her phone and walked out of the bedroom. He answered the call.
âAddy, Iâve found the person youâre looking for.â
Duke said icily, âWho is the person Adina had asked you to look for?â âDuke? Why are you picking the call? Whereâs Addy?â Flint was stunned. âPlease return the phone to Addy.â
âSheâs not feeling well, and sheâs resting. Just tell me.â
Flint hesitated. âAddy asked me to help her look for Isabelleâs remaining subordinates. I found one of her female servants. I interrogated her but she claims to know nothing about the bio intelligent chipâ
Duke narrowed his eyes. âSo, Adina has been investigating this matter on her own, too.
Duke suspected Earl. Meanwhile, Adina suspected Isabelle. Elder Maurice had perfected the use of the bio-intelligent chips. Isabelle could indeed be one of the suspects.
âHand the maid over to Blake. Ask him to escort her to Sea City. I will question her,â said Duke in a low voice.
