My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817 Mabel took a sip of warm water to moisten her throat.

“I‘m fine. I‘ll be fine after I rest for a few more days,” she said softly.

“Mabel, you‘re clearly having anxiety because you worry too much,” Mandy gently replied. “Both of us are in laws, and we‘ve known each other for decades, so we‘re closer than anyone else. Mabel, if anything‘s on your mind, you can tell me. Keeping it to yourself will only make you sicker.”

Before Duke‘s father passed away, Mabel and Mandy had been pretty close.

However, following the death of Mabel‘s husband , her two sons could not get along. Mabel focused all her efforts on handling that matter, so she slowly drifted apart from Mandy. There was no way to tell an “outsider” about what had happened in the family. Mabel shook her head. “It‘s really nothing. I‘ll be fine in a few days.”

“Did Adina make you angry?” Mandy lowered her voice and said, “Duke got involved with another woman previously. Did she purposely vent her dissatisfaction on you because she dared not trouble Duke?”

“There‘s no such thing,” Mabel said indifferently. “Addy is good. My illness has nothing to do with her.”

She had anxiety.

The biological brothers were fighting, and both of them wanted to kill each other.

It was the kind of thing that would give any mother anxiety.

She felt trapped on an isolated island with no one around her, and she was alone with this fear that could come at any moment.

“Mabel, don‘t defend Adina. She really isn‘t easy to get along with.” Mandy pursed her lips. “She‘s the eldest daughter of the Daugherty family, but the family is bankrupt, and their youngest daughter has gone insane in prison. Yet, Adina has never visited the Daugherty family to check on them. I can only say that the Daugherty family has raised an ungrateful child.”

The Daugherty family‘s affairs had spread among the circle with lower status in Sea City. Adina was the Daugherty family‘s eldest daughter and Mdm. Winters, so some rich ladies gossiped about them in front of Mandy.

Those people made everything sound worse, but Mandy did not reiterate those words because she was afraid that Mabel would start to overthink.

Mandy might not have said it outright, but Mabel could feel that Mandy wanted to relieve her worries.
