Chapter 651
“Addy, aren‘t you in the hospital? Why are you back so suddenly?”
Mabel changed her shoes and greeted Adina while holding her hand, like usual. She was startled when she touched her hand.” Why are your hands so cold? You need more layers. Don‘t get sick. Come, let‘s go upstairs and get you a coat.”
Adina pulled her hand away.
The bright lights in the living room shone on her face. Her indifferent gaze, bloodshot eyes, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth were clearly visible.
Mabel finally sensed something was not right. She put down her handbag, and said with a heavy sigh, “Addy, what happened ?”
“You already know it, don‘t you?” asked Adina.
Mabel’s expression changed instantly when she heard what Adina said.
She clenched her fists as she asked calmly, “What do you mean? I already know what?”
“Your twin sons. Both of them are dear to you. I neither understand why you sent the eldest son away nor why you helped him kill your second son after two decades …“ Adina‘s smile turned strange. “Mrs. Winters, Duke called you ‘Mother‘ for more than twenty years. How could you just watch him die?”
“No! That‘s not the case!”
Mabel shook her head vigorously.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. She lost her composure, and she covered her mouth. “Addy, that‘s not the case. How can I bring about Duke‘s death? He‘s my son, my biological son. How can I watch him die…? I‘m at the end of my rope. I didn‘t have any other choice. I‘m in despair too…”
Her knees buckled, and she fell onto the sofa while weeping softly.
