Chapter 84

She could have explained it with just a phone call. Did this man have too much free time? He purposely came over… “I just happened to be around the area,” Duke answered coldly, and his expression was full of dissatisfaction.
Adina pursed her lips.
She was wondering why this man would purposely come to the hospital for that. “I’m sorry, Mr. Winters. Something happened to me in the afternoon, so I couldn’t attend the meeting,” she said casually.
