Chapter 869 The breeze outside was cold, and Adina was in her pajamas.
Duke took a jacket from the hanger and quickly chased after her, “Addy, put on some clothes first.”
But he was too late.
Adina opened the car door and started the car. She drove out of the Winters family’s mansion in a rush
“Mr. Winters, what happened to Mdm. Winters?” Mr. Brown was shocked. “Mdm. Winters will catch a
cold with so few clothes on. Please go after her. You must take care of her in that condition…
Before Mr. Brown even finished speaking, Duke drove the black sports car and went after her.
It was a weekday. There were very few cars on the road. The weather was cold. There were very few
pedestrians. Only two cars sped on the road.
Duke dared not get too close to her. He was afraid that Adina would race her car without much care for
her own life.
Adina must be carrying out the orders from the bio intelligent chip inside her body. He vividly
remembered reading the reports of the victim. They carried out the orders given to them no matter what
the cost
Even if they were ordered to kill themselves, they did it without hesitation.
If it was Earl who had implanted the bio-intelligent chip into Adina’s body, Duke was certain that he
would never order Adina to kill herself.
But if Isabelle was the main culprit, she could give such an order.
Isabelle was dead. So, the one who still gave the orders in her name was still a mystery.
Duke was in despair. He felt as though his heart had fallen into a void. With his hands on the steering
wheel, he fixed his razor-sharp gaze on the car in front of him.
The car crossed the tarmac and sped onto the national highway leading to the countryside. The further
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey drove in that direction, the fewer cars and pedestrians there were,
It was a short mountain, but the road grew increasingly twisted.
Duke was nervous. He dared not drive forward recklessly or get into Adina’s way. He was afraid of
agitating her further. Bang!
Adina’s car crashed into the railings along the mountain road. Fortunately, she did not speed her car
after that. The front of the car was dented but everything else seemed fine.
Duke quickly got out of the car and rushed to her.
Again, he was too late.
Adina got out of the car and walked toward the mountain peak with her bare feet.
She had run out of the mansion in her thin pajamas and no shoes. The breeze was cold, and she stood
at the peak. She looked like she would be pushed over the edge with just a gust of wind.
“Addy!” Duke called to her.
Adina walked faster after hearing his voice.
Duke knew that he could not let her go on like this anymore. If Adina were to jump from the top of the
mountain…
He dared not think about that. He ran after her. He reached her and pulled on her arm. “Addy, please
don’t run. It’s too cold out here. Please… I will take you home.”
“Let me go!”
Adina’s gaze was empty, but her voice was filled with rage
She struggled to break herself free from his grip.
“I don’t feel cold at all! Let go of me! Get your hands off me!” she shouted.
“Addy, calm down. I’m Duke. I’m your husband. I love you. I love you so much. Please don’t do
this….”
Duke felt helpless. He pulled her to him and hugged her close. He wrapped her arms around her and
tried to warm her icily cold body.
Still, Adina did not calm down. She continued to struggle, as if she had to use up all her energy by any
means.
Duke kissed her forehead. He tried to console her. His voice was gentle and calm.
He tried to guess what the order must have been from the chip, but he had no idea.
If Isabelle wanted to kill Adina, she didn’t really need to implant the chip in her body. She could have
killed her easily when she had kidnapped her.
Isabelle must have had something else in mind. If she had gone implanted the chip in Adina’s body, it
could only be because she wanted to torture Adina by making her living life hell.
‘What did she want?”
Duke had numerous thoughts in his mind. He was unsure of his own guesses, and he did not want to
consider other dark things that came in his mind.
Adina slowly calmed down. She was icily cold. Her forehead broke out in sweat. She leaned against
Duke’s chest. Her eyeballs moved slowly.
“Why do I feel so tired?” she asked in a weary voice.
Duke sighed in relief. “Addy, it’s fine. We’ll go home now.”
He carried her and walked down the mountain road. He placed her on the front passenger seat of his
car and turned the heater on.
Adina looked at the car that had crashed in front. It was her car. The one she drove for work.
She then looked at herself. She was in her pajamas and didn’t even have her shoes on. The soles of
her feet hurt.
Her throat felt dry and hoarse. It was unbearably painful whenever she took a breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Duke, did I do that?” She spoke with difficulty.
Later, she noticed teeth marks on Duke’s chest. There was a hole on his shirt, and the flesh inside was
probably bleeding. This was her first time seeing the damage she had done. She couldn’t even
remember it. ‘Did I become violent after that voice took over?’
“Addy, it’s fine.” Duke stroked her hair. “I’ve found the destruction program for the chip. It’s only a
matter of time.”
Adina smiled bitterly. “Duke, did I transform into a very scary person?”
“Addy, you didn’t transform into a scary person at all. It’s the chip that has taken control of your brain. It
makes you lash out. It’s not your fault.” Duke took her cold hand in his. “Don’t worry. I’ll always be with
you. Nothing will happen to you.” “But I’m afraid I’ll hurt our children….” Adina held his hand tightly. “If
they find out that their Mommy has transformed into another person, they will be very scared. They will
be very worried. I don’t want to hurt them. I don’t know how to face them…”
Adina cried. It was not the first time she had thought about it but now that it was out in the pen, she
couldn’t hold her tears back. She realized she could not solve this issue alone.
If she transformed into something else, she would hurt her children and wouldn’t even remember it or
be able to control it.
She was the cause of Duke’s injuries on the back of his hand, his shoulder, and now, his chest Would
there come a day when she would hurt her own children? She would never be able to forgive herself if
that happened.
“Addy… Addy…” Duke took her into his arms. He gently caressed her and called her name repeatedly.
Adina finally calmed down.
After crying, her mind cleared a little.
“Duke, we must first find out what the chip in my body is programmed to achieve.”
