Chapter 956 âAddy, itâs just a dream. Itâs just a dream, itâs alrightâ¦â Duke hugged her tightly and patted her back. His voice was hoarse yet gentle. Adina hugged him back tightly as she slowly sagged to the ground. âAfter I slapped Zhenny, Duke said that Iâm okay, and everything is fine. He said that everything will be resolved.
âAfter I kicked Sean, he told me that it was fine, too. He told me I did the right thing⦠âBut honestly, are things really okay?
âWill they truly be okay forever? âWill one or two flukes make me feel that my mental state is still normal?
âI almost killed my own sonâ¦â
âHow can this happen?
âHow did things get to this point?â âAddy, youâre just too stressed. Thatâs why you dreamed that dream.â
Duke rested his chin on her shoulder. âIn a few days, weâll go out for a trip, a honeymoon. You can let your hair down. Youâll definitely feel better once you have a change of environment.â
Adina snuggled in his arms with a lingering feeling of bitterness.
âIf I can raise a knife on my children, I might also harm himâ¦
âIâm no longer the Adina I know...
âI canât live with the children and Duke comfortablyâ¦â
âDuke.â
She pushed his chest.
Duke hugged her tighter as if he had expected what Adina wanted to say. âAddy, donât say anything.
Take a nap. You can nap in my arms.â âIâve slept all afternoon. Do you think I still can sleep?â She smiled bitterly and said, âLet me go first.â
âLetâs go downstairs and eat something, then. You love my cooking, right?â Duke coaxed her tenderly.
âAlright, Iâll go downstairs to eat.â
Duke brought her slippers and put them on for her before leading her downstairs.
As soon as she got out of the room, she heard Haroldâs muffled cries from the next room. âHal woke from his sleep and saw his beloved mother raise a knife at him and almost killed him.
This will definitely become his lingering nightmare that lasts a lifetime.
âAnd my explanation wonât do any justiceâ¦â âHow should I face him from now on?â âDuke. I can eat on my own. Go and comfort Hal on my behalf. I donât wish to see him cry all night.â
Duke put his arms around her and said softly, âGeorge and Al are with him. Heâll be fine.â
He was more worried about her mental state, âAdina mustâve felt extremely guilty for almost hurting her own son. As a mother, the pain that she felt mustâve been beyond my imagination.â âThe only thing I can do is to stay by her side.â Adina did not say anything as she lowered her head to eat. Duke cooked a couple of simple dishes; tomato soup, chicken chop, and stuffed bell pepper. They were all his specialty dishes, and Adina usually enjoyed eating them. Right after she took a mouthful of chicken chop, her stomach started to gurgle again. She pushed the chair and rushed towards the washroom. Duke narrowed his eyes as he stood and hurriedly followed after her. âColin said that you vomited in the morning, too. Are you having a stomachache?â Adina knelt in front of the toilet bowl and retched a few times. Even so, she did not vomit anything out.
