My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 1037

Adeena finished the full body checkup only after about five hours.

Since around four results would only be released after a few days, she would come and get all the results in one fell swoop after three days.

The sun went down in the evening, and the lights in the city were turned on.

The entrance of the hospital was crowded and bustling, as usual.

Adeena looked at the man beside her. “Mr. Winters, thank you for today.”

The CEO of Winters Corporation was very busy, yet he was able to take half a day off and accompany her for the physical examination. This caused her to warm up to him a little, despite the initial walls she kept around him.

If this man really was trying to pursue her, he had definitely put in enough effort to make a woman’s heart flutter.

But she was not an ordinary woman.

“It’s getting late, so I’ll go back first. See you again, Mr. Winters.”

“Is that all the thanks I get?” Duke softly said, “I’ve worked for a long time. I’m hungry now.”

Adeena was speechless.

When she was undergoing the examinations, he had been going up and down to queue up for registrations and payments. He was indeed more tired than her.

She smiled faintly and said, “What do you want to eat, Mr. Winters? I’ll treat you.”

“What do you want to eat?” Duke looked at her tenderly. “I know that there’s a pretty good Italian restaurant near the hospital. Do you want to try it?”

“Okay, let’s go.”

The restaurant was not far, so the two of them just walked over.

The sky slowly turned dark, and the stars shone in the dark sky.

When Adeena walked with Duke on the street, she experienced an unprecedented desire–she actually hoped that they could keep walking on the street.

She had just known and met this man a few times. Why would she have such a scary thought? “Be careful!”

A motorbike speedily drove past them, and Duke quickly held Adeena’s slim waist.

She was held in his strong arms.

Her face bumped into his chest, and she heard his pounding heartbeat.
