Chapter 186
Meanwhile, she had used Harold to win the trust of the Winters family.
That woman was such a conniving b*stard.
He had to be on guard against her.
Adina picked up the kids and went home.
While she was cooking in the kitchen, she received a video call from Harold.
“Aunt Adina, why didn’t you come and visit me?” She heard Harold’s weak voice. “I’m alone in the hospital, and I’m so bored. Can you come and keep me company? I want you to read me a story…”
Adina waved the spoon in her hand. “It’s too late today. I’ll visit you tomorrow and also bring some chicken soup that I made for you.”
“You’re the best, Aunt Adina! You’re my favorite person!”
Adina smiled faintly. “You should rest now. Don’t stay up too long.”
“Aunt Adina, could you please give me a goodnight kiss.”
Harold pouted at the phone screen. His head was still wrapped in gauze. When he made that gesture, he looked pitiful but hilarious.
Adina chuckled as she kissed the screen and hung up. She brought the soup she had cooked to the dining room and saw her two children staring at her with worry-filled eyes.
She was slightly surprised, and she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom, I heard Harold’s voice just now.” Alden pursed his lips before he asked, “Is he in the hospital?”
Adina pulled out a chair and sat down. “Are you worried about him?” she asked in a soft voice.
Harold had visited their home a few times, and Alden had been unhappy about it the entire time.
