Chapter 855
Chapter 855 Duke led her to the living room. Mr. Brown served them coffee. The living room was filled with the aroma of coffee beans. “Addy, this is Alva.” Duke introduced his friend to her. “Alva, this is my wife, Adina” “Mdm. Winters, nice to meet you.” The African man fixed his gaze on Adina. Adina felt uncomfortable with Alva looking at her. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
In the past, Duke would get jealous whenever other men stared at her. He would give them a warning look.
However, at that moment, Duke was motionless.
Adina was annoyed. She pinched his thigh under the table. She glared at Duke.
Duke patted the back of her hand and spoke softly in Cairnst anian language, “Alva means no harm to you. Relax.”
“Mdm. Winters, you‘re very beautiful,” said Alva with a smile, revealing his white teeth. “I know how to read a pulse. Mdm. Winters, could you please let me read your pulse?”
Adina wanted to say no. But Duke nodded at her. She placed her hand on the table. Alva gently took her hand and read her pulse.
Adina realized something. Duke had taken her abnormalities to heart. Alva must be a doctor he had called from the Hestia Border.
Duke must have suspected her abnormalities originated from her time at Hestia Border.
Adina sighed. It had not been easy for them to finally settle down in peace. She did not want to go through another difficult situation. She hoped there was not any issue with her health.
Alva took her left hand and felt her pulse. He shook his head slightly before requesting to check her pulse on her right hand. She obliged. It took Alva half an hour to read Adina‘s pulses. “Mdm. Winters, thank you for your cooperation.” Alva stood up. “Mr. Winters, will you walk me out?”
Duke stroked Adina‘s hair. “Drink your coffee and wait for me. I will see him off.”
After Duke and Alva left the living room, Adina recalled a scene from a drama.
The woman in the drama was diagnosed with a deadly disease. The doctor shook his head, then asked her family to prepare her funeral without her knowledge.
Thinking of this, Adina let out a bark of laughter. She shook her head to get rid of the ridiculous images that appeared in her mind. Duke and Alva walked to the mansion entrance. Alva looked solemn. “Mdm. Winters is not under a spell, and there‘s nothing wrong with her health. I‘m sorry, I was unable to find out the root cause.”
Duke‘s face darkened. “If not witchcraft, what else can it be?”
“Mr. Winters, according to what you‘ve told me about Mdm. Winters‘ situation, I have two guesses.” Alva said in a low voice, “One, Mdm. Winters could have been poisoned, and the poison might be from Cairnstan which I don‘t have much knowledge about. Two. she could have been implanted with a bio– intelligent chip.”
