“Adina is under tremendous stress. That was why she fainted,” said the doctor. “She has to rest properly for at least three days. As her family, you should make sure she is not under any pressure.”Duke’s face darkened. “Yes. Thank you, doctor.”After the doctor finished the inspection, he packed his tools and left the ward. Duke turned to Daniel. “What happened before she fainted?”Daniel pursed his lips. This was his first time meeting his rumored brother-in-law.Daniel thought Adina and her husband had a rift in their relationship. Otherwise, why hadn’t his brother-in-law come to visit the Jones family?After Daniel saw Duke, he realized that his brother-in-law truly cared about his sister. Daniel noticed the concern in Duke’s eyes ever since they had arrived at the hospital.‘Could the reason for his brother-in-law’s unwillingness to visit them be the scars on his face?’Daniel avoided looking at Duke’s scar. He said softly, “The workers breached the construction law at t

“Don’t mention it. Just lie down and rest. I’ll call the doctor now.”Duke stroked her hair before he stood up and walked out of the ward. He did not go far. He stood at the door and waved at a nurse to come over.The nurse brought the medicine with her. She inserted the syringe back into Adina’s hand. This time, the nurse made sure to tape several strips of gauze on her hand to prevent it from being pulled out so easily.Adina looked down. She tried to recall everything that had happened.She was certain she did not just wake up. She was certain she did not pull out the needle during a nightmare. Something was amiss…‘Did something more happen? Why didn’t that voice appear in her mind this time? Could that voice have entered into the marrow of her bones and became her instinct?’“Addy, what are you thinking?” Duke’s voice interrupted her train of thoughts.“Nothing.” Adina looked up. She smiled. “When are they going to discharge me from the hospital?”“You’re under great press

Duke froze.Earl’s previously worked in the Bio-intelligent Chip Technology Company. ‘Could he have…?’“Mr. Winters, I’m a witch doctor, so I don’t have much knowledge about bio-intelligent chips,” said Alva. “But they are rampant in the Hestia Border. The superiors implant this type of chip in their subordinates’ bodies to prevent them from betraying their authority. After one is implanted with the chip, the superiors can control one’s mind and make one obey them completely.”Duke pursed his lips. “Do you know anyone who is a professional in this area?”Alva shook his head. “The R&D technicians are very well protected. All of the information is under highly guarded confidential documents. It’s almost impossible to gather any information about it.”“Okay. Got it,” said Duke. “Thank you for making this trip. I’ll assign someone to send you back.”“Blake asked me to pass on a message to you. He says he is all well at the Hestia Border. And you don’t have to worry so much about him,

Harold was shaken. Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw the anger and disgust in his mother’s eyes directed towards him.“Mommy, don’t hate me,” Harold’s voice trembled. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I will try not to be so clumsy anymore.”He slowly approached Adina and held her hand. But Adina swung his hand away.“I told you not to touch me!” Adina was agitated and restless. She raised her hand and knocked the chocolate strawberry cake to the ground. Everyone in the dining room was stunned, especially her children.Harold’s tears streamed down his cheek. Melody bit her bottom lip. She dared not cry out loud.“All of you, go back to your rooms,” said Duke carefully. He placed a hand on Adina’s shoulder.“Don’t touch me!” Adina pushed his hand away. “All of you, get out now!”She cradled her head and charged outside. Her head was going to split. It hurt too much!A voice rang in her mind. ‘Leave them! Get out of there now!’She had no idea where she was heading. She rushed outside wi

“Mommy, I made the pasta specially to ask for your forgiveness,” said Harold sadly. “Last night, I—”“Harold, go out for a minute,” Duke interrupted him. “I have something to talk to your Mommy about. In private.”Harold looked up at his father, annoyed. “Daddy, I haven’t finished my sentence. Could you please let me finish my words? Then you can talk to Mommy all you want.”“It cannot wait. Go. Now.”Duke took the plate of pasta from his hands and placed it on the bedside table. He then lifted Harold up and carried him out of the bedroom.“Daddy, you’ve gone too far!”Harold shouted fiercely. Duke glared at him before he closed the door and locked it. He turned to Adina. “I’m certain that Harold’s pasta is not as tasty as mine. Are you sure you want to eat it?”Adina looked at him. “Why did you drive Hal out? What exactly do you want to tell me about?”“Ahem, nothing.” Duke rested his gaze on her collar. “It’s not good if our children see that.”Adina looked down. The neckl
