Chapter 854
"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 pressure.You need to take a good rest.You can be discharged from the hospital anytime."
Duke stared at her.
"The doctor said you have to rest for at least a week.During the week, let me handle all your work.How does that sound?"
Adina chuckled.
"I’m more than happy to have you handle LaStar Technology Corporation and Daugherty Corporation’s businesses.But many people are keeping a close watch on me, so it’s best that I personally handle them.Since I’m sick, you have to bear with me.You might have to see me off to work and pick me up daily.Is that okay?"
Duke looked at her tenderly.
A moment ago, she was violent and hysterical.But now she was gentle, rational and lovely as always.
The two drastic personalities seemed impossible to exist in the same person.
Yet, the two personalities truly came from the same person—Adina.
Duke suppressed his complicated thoughts.He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Whatever you want.I don’t mind accompanying you to work."
