My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 1222

Chapter 1222

Everett's face looked horrifying. His face was stained with blood and his eyes were bloodshot. There was no emotion in his murderous gaze.

He seemed to have lost his mind, with no glimmer of light in his eyes. His bloodthirsty gaze made him look like a vicious beast, who had been caged for days, and now only had one thing in mind: devour its prey.

Ninian was stunned. She was speechless.

'This bloodthirsty and terrifying man looks nothing like the level-headed, shy boy I know.

'I've always known that his illness is severe. But now, after watching him in this condition for the first time, I finally know how terrifying it is.

"That's not normal at all.'

"Everett!" Duncan's expression changed. He approached him cautiously and nervously as he said, "Put down the knife. Come here, and let me see your wound."

At that moment, it did not matter if Rowan was dead or alive.

If Everett saw more blood, he would immediately kill Rowan. His condition could worsen, and he would ultimately lose his mind.

Even with Duncan calling out to him, he did not respond at all.

He was holding a knife in one hand, and grabbing Rowan's neck tightly in the other hand.

"Everett!" Duncan said hurriedly. He did not dare to get close to him. All he could do was watch him with a pleading gaze. "Calm down. You can't kill him. You shouldn't dirty your hands like this..."

'I won't care as much if it's someone else.

'It's just merely a life. I can handle it easily.

'But not for Everett.

'If he kills Rowan, he'll spiral back into his dark age. He might not be able to come out of it again this time.'

Duncan was anxious. However, Ninian, who was standing beside him, started approaching Everett.

She looked into his eyes and walked towards him slowly but firmly.

"Honey, don't you recognize me?"

Everett looked at her, but he did not respond.

She continued, "I'm Ninian. You always call me 'honey'.

"You used to say that I'm your light.

"And you told me that you'll stay by my side forever."

Everett's gaze gradually turned hazy. "Ninian...? Honey

Duncan instantly became overjoyed. "This is a herald of Everett's recovery process!

"This girl..."

He watched her from the back. His usual stern face revealed a sense of joy and hope.

Ninian did not stop as she walked closer to Everett. She bent down slightly and stretched out her hand towards him. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Honey, you can hold my hand. Do you want a hug?"

Everett did not utter a word. However, there was an obvious sign of conflict in his gaze.

She lowered her gaze and looked at his long, fair arms with a frown.

"Honey, I'm scared. Can you hug me?"

She continued to coax him with a gentle voice.

Everett gradually focused on her.

He let go of Rowan's neck, turned, and reached out to her.

Her eyes teared up as she looked delighted.

But Everett suddenly retreated.

Instead of holding her hand, he pulled it back. He looked at her with fear, guilt, and worry.

"There's... so much blood..."

Ninian did not catch what he said. She asked him gently, " What is it?"

He pursed his lips and said, "I'm so dirty..."

Tears streamed down her face when she heard what he said.

"You're not! You're the cleanest person on Earth!" She looked at him in a serious manner and insisted, "You're the kindest person I know!"

He looked at her with his bloodshot eyes. Like a little child who had made a mistake and was trying to seek validation, he asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Yes!" She said, "Listen to my heartbeat if you don't believe me. See for yourself whether I'm lying or not!"
