My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 852

Chapter 852 “Adina is under tremendous stress. That was why she fainted,” said the doctor. “She has to rest properly for at least three days. As her family, you should make sure she is not under any pressure.” Duke‘s face darkened. “Yes. Thank you, doctor.” After the doctor finished the inspection, he packed his tools and left the ward. Duke turned to Daniel. “What happened before she fainted?” Daniel pursed his lips. This was his first time meeting his rumored brother–in–law. Daniel thought Adina and her husband had a rift in their relationship. Otherwise, why hadn‘t his brother–in–law come to visit the Jones family? After Daniel saw Duke, he realized that his brother–in–law truly cared about his sister. Daniel noticed the concern in Duke‘s eyes ever since they had arrived at the hospital.

‘Could the reason for his brother–in–law‘s unwillingness to visit them be the scars on his face?

Daniel avoided looking at Duke‘s scar. He said softly, “The workers breached the construction law at the site. Adina got into a fight with them. But she soon subdued the construction workers. They didn‘t make a big fuss about it. After that, Adina arranged for the follow–up work, and she fainted while explaining the project.”

Duke narrowed his eyes. He paused for a moment. “You‘ll take over the resort project. If you face any issues, just call me. Add me to your WhatsApp.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Daniel was stunned. It took him sometime for him to realize that his brother–in–law did not want Adina to get too stressed or busy with her work.

Daniel nodded. He added Duke to his WhatsApp. “Duke, please take care of my older sister. I have to go and apply for a permit for the resort project.”

If it had not been for Daniel, Adina would not have taken part in the succession contest, and she would not have passed out due to tremendous stress.

He felt like a failure. He always made his father and older sister worried about him.

Daniel glanced at Adina on her sickbed and pursed his lips. He then left the ward.

Meanwhile, Duke went to the balcony of the ward and called Serene. “Hand over all the work of LaStar Technology Corporation and Daugherty Corporation to me in the future. She‘s not feeling well, so she won’t be handling her work for now. I have some understanding about these projects, send me all the information to my email. If Addy asks you about them, just tell her that you‘ve settled them.”

He heard some commotion behind him. He hung up and turned around, only to meet Adina‘s expressionless gaze. “Who are you talking to?” Adina enunciated each of her words, emotionlessly. She pushed her blanket away and got out of her bed. Duke quickly ran to stop her. He said in a low voice, “You‘re still on infusion. Please don‘t

move.”

“Duke, you cannot be so forceful and dictatorial!” Adina glared at him. “It‘s my job and my career. You cannot interfere with my business. Why did you contact my assistant without my approval?! Who gave you the permission to take over all my work?!” Duke stared at her. His deep eyes flickered with emotions. When Adina had behaved abnormally in the past, she was not able to express herself clearly. She had at most showed some irregularity in her actions and gaze.

This time, she spoke complete sentences without hesitation. ‘Did this mean her condition has worsened?‘
