Chapter 506
He knew that his head was wrapped in gauze, but what was so funny about that?
Besides, what was wrong with a man not shaving his beard? Was it hilarious?
He looked at Adina gloomily and noticed that she was pursing her lips, trying to hold in her laughter. Did this mean that he had confessed to Adina with such a hilarious appearance last night?
“Mommy, you find dad funny too, right?” Harold tugged on Adina’s arm as he laughed and asked.
Duke’s expression darkened.
Adina cleared her throat and said, “Hal, don’t laugh at your dad like that.”
“Yeah, I can’t laugh at Dad, or else he’ll beat me up after he recovers.”
Harold stuck his tongue out and hid behind Adina.
Duke was at a loss for words.
When did he beat this brat up? Harold really knew how to create rumors and ruin his reputation! Duke cast a glance at Adina and explained, “Addy, I never
beat the kids. I’m telling the truth.”
“Yes, Dad never beats us. He just punishes us by making us stand at attention.” Harold made a face. “We would have to stand for two hours. Our legs hurt.”
George also nodded. “This does happen.”
Adina looked at Duke.
Duke was speechless.
He felt so guilty that he dared not look Adina in the eyes.
“Alright, George, take your brothers and sister out to play,” Mrs. Winters smoothed the situation over and said, “Addy, I brought some chicken soup for Duke. Please take it out and get the caretaker to heat it up.”
Adina knew that Mrs. Winters might have something to discuss with Duke, so she immediately picked up the soup and took the children out.
Once the door of the ward was closed, Mrs. Winters finally sat down by the bed and asked, “How’s your injury?”
