Chapter 651 “Addy, aren‘t you in the hospital? Why are you back so suddenly?”
Mabel changed her shoes and greeted Adina while holding her hand, like usual. She was startled when she touched her hand.” Why are your hands so cold? You need more layers. Don‘t get

Adina pulled her hand away.

Her knees buckled, and she fell onto the sofa while weeping
softly.
Addy‘s heart sank instantly.
“Earl had been weak the moment he was born, but the Winters family abandoned him. We owe him this. It‘s natural that he hates the family. For so many years, I‘ve been trying to make it up to him, but he always moves around and lives beyond the world of normalcy. It‘s difficult for me to even meet him…
