Duke held her hand and said with a low, soft voice, “Addy, thank you.”
For over a month, he had been doing everything by himself. In fact, no one had ever sorted out his everyday life.
After arriving in Sea City, Adina tended to his every need. She carefully arranged everything and ensured it was all just right.
He owed this woman too much.
“We are husband and wife. There is no need for you to thank me in the future.” Adina smiled softly and continued rubbing his temples.
Duke let his eyes fall shut a little. Countless fragmented images flashed across his mind. He needed to try his hardest to seize hold of these memories and connect them to recover his original memories.
“Addy, I remember!” Duke suddenly opened his eyes, “I remember what happened when I was fifteen years old.”
Adina’s hands stiffened.
His first recovered memory should be the one that affected him the most, and it was the year he turned fifteen. Adina remembered that it was the year his father passed away.
Adina sat down beside him and asked softly, “What do you remember? You can tell me slowly.”
“The year I turned fifteen, I knew I had a biological twin brother who was born with congenital heart disease and was brought up elsewhere.”
Adina listened quietly while Duke talked about Earl. In general, there was not much difference between what he said and what Mr. Brown said.
“He grew up in a monastery when he was young and was adopted by a family later. However, because of his extreme personality, he killed the dog that the family had kept for eight years, so the family secretly sent him to an orphanage. He did not behave while he was at the orphanage either, and he violently bullied countless children there.” Duke said coolly, “He did all this to get the Winters family’s attention because he wanted to go back to them. However, my parents were superstitious. The abbot told them about the future. He said that Earl’s life would be in danger if he visited his birth family.”
In her shock, Adina widened her eyes.
Earl was only fourteen years old when he killed four people. No wonder she felt that this person possessed such a strong murderous aura when she first met him.
He actually murdered people at the age of fourteen! If he lived to the age of twenty-six, he must have killed countless people by then.
“He killed people but was not punished by law?” Adina took a deep breath and asked.
Since he was fourteen, he should have been eligible for punishment. Why was Earl still living freely?
Duke pursed his lips and said, “This case went on trial for a year. When I was fifteen, my father was shot dead after being imprisoned for murder.”
