Chapter 988

“Mr. Winters, no one intentionally sealed her memories.” Pete‘s gaze was serious as he said, “ She
must have encountered an accident, which caused her memory loss. In this situation, a few sessions of
hypnosis would help her recall her past memories, but...”

He paused for a while. Duke pursed his lips and softly continued, “Her mood changes whenever people
related to the past are mentioned. The effects of the biochip haven‘t been completely dispersed. If her
memories are forcefully restored, it‘s very likely...“.

It was likely that he and Addy would encounter the same dead end from four years ago.

He could not enter her world, and she could not come out, so the two of them parted in the end.

“Mr. Winters, since Ms. Daugherty has forgotten the past, just let it be. It‘ll be the same as starting a
new relationship.” Pete blinked. “Wasn‘t there a witch doctor who said that a full body blood exchange
is needed to completely eliminate the chip‘s aftereffects? Surgery is too risky. If there‘s a mistake, she‘ll
die on the operating table. Right now, she‘s lost her memories, and she isn‘t majorly affected by the
biochip. It‘s a win–win situation.”

Duke‘s gaze was profound. “Keep this secret for me first.”

He could hold back from triggering Addy‘s memories, but the four kids…

He dared not guarantee it.

Pete nodded. He packed up his things and returned to his room.

Duke squatted down by the couch. He gently pushed Adina‘s messy hair away and slid his finger
across her pink lips.



Last night, he had checked out the Willis family and Addy‘s life over the past three years.

Three years ago, Addy had suddenly shown up in the Willis family and become their foster daughter.

However, he failed to discover what had happened during the missing year in between. He would only
understand Addy‘s condition once he had information on the missing year,

“Addy... “Addy...” He stroked her face as he called out to her again and again. “Addy. “Addy.”

Someone seemed to be calling her. Adeena kept hearing the person’s voice, but she seemed to be in
the sea The morning haze surrounded her and prevented her from identifying the direction of the voice.

She could vaguely see a tall figure in the fog, calling her name affectionately. He was not a member of
the Willis family. Who was he? Who would keep addressing her as “Addy” with such affection?

Raging waves suddenly came crashing down on her. The cold seawater hit her lips and washed over
them with great force.

Cold seawater surrounded Adeena‘s body from her back to her chest, but it suddenly became warm,
and a strange feeling filled her body. She moved around, but that caused the seawater to envelop her
more aggressively.

She moved her finger abruptly and instantly opened her eyes.

Right then, she saw a man leaning over her body. He was kissing her along her neck and going all the
way down with his warm lips.

He kept touching her back and chest with his warm hand as well. Without any hesitation, Adeena
pushed the man away with hostility. She raised her arm and smacked him.

Slap!



The sound of a loud slap promptly rang out.

Duke did not frown at all.

He cast a sight on the woman‘s unkempt clothes. There was a faint kiss mark on her neck because of
him, and he had also pulled down her collar significantly.

These last four years, he had never slept with any woman. He had been abstinent for four years, so he
could not stop once he started.
