Chapter 861

"Mommy, I forgot what I wanted to say to you." Harold scratched the back of his head, pretending to
remember what he had wanted to tell her.

Adina laughed.

"Let me know if you remember it, okay?" Harold nodded.He sighed in relief.

Mr.Brown called them downstairs.

"AI, Georgie, Hal, Mel, get ready for preschool!"

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 Adina’s 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.

It was a very quiet and peaceful morning.

Buzz! The call disturbed their serene moment.




Duke glanced at his phone.

"I have to take this." Adina nodded.

Duke walked to the corridor outside the study to take the call.

"I sent Earl’s fingerprint to your email.Do you have any other orders for me?" Duke nodded.

"Is there any unusual movement from Earl?"

"When I got his fingerprint this morning, he didn’t fight back or say anything.But the woman who has
just been sent over is..."

Blake paused for a moment.

"The woman is all wounded.She’s disfigured.I don’t know how much longer she can stay alive."

Duke narrowed his eyes.

When he sent Catherine, she was in good health.

‘How was she injured?’ Catherine and Earl were former lovers.

‘How could Earl be so ruthless to her?’ However, it made complete sense.

Earl was just such a person.He had executed his own father.

‘Is there anything in the world Earl wouldn’t do?’
