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–inw. Daniel thought Adina and


    her husband had a rift in their rtionship. Otherwise, why hadn‘t his brother–inwe to visit the


    Jones family? After Daniel saw Duke, he realized that his brother–inw 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–inw‘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 constructionw 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


    exining 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.”

    Daniel was stunned. It took him sometime for him to realize that his brother–inw 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 session 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 nced 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 somemotion 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 nket 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 red 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 irregrity in her actions and gaze.


    This time, she spokeplete sentences without hesitation. ‘Did this mean her condition has


    worsened?‘
