My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274

‘In a daze, I returned to the Craig family’s mansion.

‘My mother and I were the reason why my father had worked so hard. After experiencing such a huge blow, his strength gave way.

‘He laid on the hospital bed and asked Duncan to take me in. Then, he closed his eyes and never woke up again.

‘At that time, my mother’s funeral procession had not even been held yet. Her coffin was still in the Craig family’s mansion. Everyone was crying, and it was heart- wrenching.

‘My illness showed its symptoms for the first time.

‘I acted like a wild, bloodthirsty beast. I could not recognize anyone.

‘Duncan was just a young adult at that time. While grieving his parents‘ deaths, he had to arrange their funeral and take care of his sick brother.

‘At the same time, he had to take over the chaotic Craig family, rebuild the family’s foundation, uproot his

powerful uncle, Rowan and expel him from the family.

‘Those years were the most difficult period for the Craig family.

‘Fortunately, I got the treatment I needed and recovered well.

‘With my talent and ingenuity, I was able to help Duncan get the family out of the difficult position. Soon, we managed to rebuild and make our family powerful again.

“This period of time was a taboo for the Craig family.‘

Even so, he told Ninian every single detail.

As time passed, Ninian sobbed loudly in the room.

‘While other children were being doted on by their parents, having a happy family, and creating beautiful childhood memories, Everett was experiencing such a tragic incident.‘

“It’s in the past now. Don’t cry.” Everett’s heart ached as he wiped her tears. He said gently, “God treated me well. He sent you into my life, and I’m very happy that He did.”

“It’s all my fault. If only I would’ve known earlier…” Ninian snorted and said, “If only I’d known you earlier, I would’ve saved you from the cabin, saved your mother, and reunited you with your family. You wouldn’t have felt so miserable.”

“Silly girl…” He hugged her and gently kissed her head. He sighed, “You already did. You’re my salvation.”

“W–What?” She raised her head with tears in her eyes and a red nose. She looked extremely cute.

Everett’s heart melted,

He said, “Don’t you remember? When you were a baby,

you lived abroad. You only came back to Cairnstan at the age of three or four.”

Ninian was stunned. She then nodded.

“We met at that time.” He seemed relaxed as he reminisced

“It was my first time escaping from the cabin. There was a remote orphanage nearby. You were so tiny back then. You gave me a cookie and told me to live a happy life no matter what.

“Ever since then, whenever I was on the verge of

breaking down, I would think of you and your big, radiant

eyes.

“Your light kept me moving forward for many, many years.”

‘When I returned to the Craig family, I tried everything I could to search for Ninian. I ended up finding out that she was the Winters family’s lost princess.

‘From that moment, I started keeping a close eye on her and watched her grow up.

‘She’s my moon, my savior.‘

When Ninian heard this, she was dumbfounded.

She looked at him with her eyes widened. She was not

sure how to react.

“So we’ve actually met that many years back…” She was still in shock, looking flustered.

Everett could not help but laugh out loud.

‘I didn’t plan to tell her this, but since she asked, I’ll tell

her.

‘Well, I guess it was worth it. I was able to see her cute reaction.‘

His gaze shifted to her red lips

Now that Ninian’s identity was exposed, many opportunities opened for her
