Chapter 392
“How were the kids born four years ago?” Duke slowly asked. He had read the news four years ago.
That night had been described in graphic detail by the reporters, but there was a combination of truth
and lies.
The only thing he could be sure of was that Adina did not go to a hospital the day she gave birth. She
gave birth to the four babies in the Daugherty family’s warehouse. Even a normal person had to risk her
life to give birth to one baby. He could not imagine how she successfully gave birth to the four babies,
Besides, he had also heard that the Daugherty family’s mansion was set on fire that night. Adina pursed
her lips with a blank look. “George and Harold were born first. When they were born, they were not
breathing, so I thought that they…”

them, but I always thought that the kids were dead.”
She looked down and hid all the emotions in her eyes. Duke felt as if he was tearing her scars that had
already scabbed over “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered from all of
this,” he said apologetically. “It’s alright. It’s all in the past.” Adina raised her head and had already
schooled her gaze by then. The pain that she had suffered over the years had passed. She was no
longer that fragile.
Duke just stared at her firmly. He conjured up the figure of the woman from five years ago in his mind,
and her face slowly overlapped with Adina’s face.
No wonder he did not have any feelings for Dew. It turned out that the woman was Adina.
This woman was with him five years ago.
This was his woman.
Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence in the ward.
Duke glanced at the incoming call. It was Mrs. Winters. He then gestured at Adina to keep quiet.
As soon as he picked up the call, Mrs. Winters’ nervous voice came from the other end. “Duke, Brown
said that you were shot. What happened?” Duke frowned and calmly said, “Mr. Brown likes to
exaggerate things. I’m fine. I’ll be discharged tomorrow.” After he said that, he prepared to hang up.
“Hold on, I heard that you had quadruplets four years ago instead of a pair of twins?” Mrs. Winters said
coldly.
Duke subconsciously glanced at Adina before he answered, “Mom, where did you hear that from?”
“I haven’t been in Sea City lately, but that doesn’t mean I know nothing.” Mrs. Winters said indifferently. “I
don’t want to know what happened between you and the Daugherties, but you have to get our family’s

Mrs. Winters’ voice was very loud when she uttered that last sentence, and Adina could vaguely hear
her.
She recalled Mr. Osborne, who had been overbearing and rude when he found out that the Osborne
family’s “children” were out there.
Right now, Mrs. Winters was no different from Mr. Osborne.
Adina just did not know what Duke thought about it.
Once she saw Duke hang up, she preemptively said, “Mr. Winters, I won’t give up my custody of Alden
and Mel. I won’t surrender no matter what you do!”
Duke frowned. “When did I ever say that I wanted to steal custody from you?” Adina kept away her
hostility, calmed down, and asked, “What do you mean?”
