My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470

Although he knew he was not as important as Adina to the children, the difference should not be that great, right?

Adina found it amusing too. She stroked each of the children’s heads before she softly said, “All of you stay at home and listen to Grandma. Daddy and Mommy will be back in a while, understand?”

Alden nodded obediently. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll take good care of Mel.”

George pursed his lips and said, “Mommy, I’ll hang out with my brothers and sister. Don’t worry about us.” Harold waved at her. “Bye, Mommy. Mel and I are going to play the piano!” When Adina saw that the kids were carefree and Alden’s gaze was especially relaxed, she felt slightly relieved. She got in the car with Duke before she turned to the side and sincerely said, “Thank you.”

“I understand your concerns.” Duke drove as he said, “ Alden is actually the most mature among the four kids. He’s brilliant and intelligent. Plus, he’s very sensitive . His attention is completely on you and Mel. He’ll remember anything that happens to any of you. That’s

not a good thing for a four-year-old boy.” Adina looked down. “It’s my fault. I’ve been negligent. If I had been strong enough, Alden wouldn’t have been forced to grow up so early.” “It’s not your fault. It’s my fault.” Duke’s voice was deep. “If I had known about Alden and Mel, the three of you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

They were at a junction with a red light. When he said that, he turned to the side and stared at Adina.

There was a glint in his dark eyes, and Adina’s side profile was reflected in his pupils.

His gaze was so affectionate that it made Adina’s heart pound very fast.

She dared not even look into his eyes because she was worried that she would drown in them.

She clenched her fists and immediately changed the subject. “Oh yeah, about the children’s education that I brought up last night, have you thought about it?”

Duke held the steering wheel and said, “I respect all your opinions, and I also respect the kids’ choice. If George and Harold agree to attend preschool, I won’t oppose it.” Adina smiled faintly. “Okay, I’ll find a time and ask the Iwo of them.”

The car soon arrived at the hospital.

It was the most prestigious military hospital in Sea City.

The doctor performed a full body checkup on Adina. Following that, he held a checklist and said, “Ms. Daugherty, there is still some anesthetic left in your system, but it will be gone from your body in about three days. So, you don’t have to be too nervous.”

When the doctor said that, Duke could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Adina and Duke walked side by side as they left the doctor’s office, and they happened to pass by the emergency room. The hospital’s emergency room was full of people all the time. Adina had initially wanted to avoid it, but she suddenly saw a familiar figure. Her pupils shrank dramatically, and she subconsciously clenched her fists on both sides. Duke followed her gaze, and his intent look was filled with hostility. “Dew Daugherty? Why is she in the hospital?”

Adina pursed her lips. “I have no idea.”
