Chapter 722
Terry asked her helplessly.
He had seen women crying before. Isabelle often cried before him, but he only found her disgusting.
However, when Adina cried before him, her tears moved his heart, and he felt as if he was dying from suffocation.
When he asked her again, Adina cried even harder.
She had dealt with Earl in Sea City for a very long time and had never cried whenever she was in danger.She had traveled a long way to Hestia Border and often ended up with disappointment in her search for Duke, which led to sleepless nights. Still, she managed to hold back her tears.
But right then, she could no longer hold them back.
Her husband did not seem to recognize her…
“Don‘t you know who I am?” Adina sobbed as she asked.
Her voice trembled slightly with a tinge of hope.
Terry tensed up. Louis had mentioned that the woman‘s last name was Daugherty. But they had no idea what her first name was.
He pursed his lips and said, “Don’t cry. Didn‘t you say that you wanted to see my face? I’ll let you see it as much as you want, okay?”
He then removed the mask from his face.
Adina stared at the familiar face blearily.
The injury that took up half of his face had been made about a month ago. The scar was still in the middle of recovery… How badly had he been hurt and how much untold suffering had he been through to come to this stage? Only then did Adina recall Catherine‘s words.
“Duke asked me to wipe his memory. However, he called out your name again and again. As a result, I failed to wipe his memory… In the end, he passed out. Then, Earl assigned someone to send him out of the country…”
Catherine assumed that she had failed to erase Duke‘s memory. Could she have succeeded instead? That would explain why Duke had forgotten who he was and could not recognize her as well as their children… If that was the case, everything would begin to make sense.
Adina raised her hand and touched his scar. She sobbed as she asked, “How did you get this scar?” Terry‘s heart softened when he stared at her tears and her soft, passionate gaze.
