Novel & Cerita Age Of Adeline Book

the dean suggested, leading Bruno and Lizzie to his office along with Adeline's attending physician. "This is Adeline's medical report. Because of the fall, her head was severely injured. The fact she woke up after such a long time is a miracle. However, she has lost all her memories and her mental age has regressed to that of a seven or eight-year-old child," the dean explained, handing the report to Bruno. "Adeline is thirty years old, so she…" Lizzie couldn't finish her sentence. "Correct, she has the body of a thirty-year-old but the mind of a child," the dean confirmed Lizzie's thoughts.

The three of them eat some more cake and pack the rest of it back for the others to enjoy. Since yesterday, Adeline had been feeling quite anxious and nervous. When she had been cursed to desiccate, she had known that it would be some time before she woke up again. But she had never imagined that it would be almost a hundred years. The world she has woken up in is so drastically different from what she had left behind. She was happy to have her elder sister by her side. They had talked very late into the night and she had filled her in on a lot of things that had happened and changed since 1924.

Adeline apologized after greeting them. "There are no worries, you must have been pretty tired from your journey. let me introduce you.." her mother acknowledged and turned to her family introducing them respectively. "Adeline this is my husband, Rex Luther. You can call him Uncle." "Hello, Uncle. it's a pleasure to meet you." She greeted in a soft voice, as he smiled in response. "Nice to meet you too, Adeline." While her mother introduced the two kids; the young girl who looked around 16 years old was known as Madeline and the younger boy, Lucas. They were both her children.

They didn’t divorce, but they didn’t seem to reconcile anytime soon. Before Clavier could say anything, Adeline collapsed, and he rushed in to catch her body. “Adeline!” Clavier called as her eyes were slowly closing. He touched her forehead and felt her skin was burning hot as if she was grilled alive. There were red markings all over her arms. With her shaking hands, she reached for something inside the pocket of her jacket. “What’s this?” Clavier asked. “The drug...the First Elder’s blood used to produce the drug...and the research data….” Adeline replied softly before losing consciousness.

she affirmed. "Then she's yours," Adeline concluded in her six-year-old logic, bringing a smile to Marybeth's face. If only life was that simple. "Can we go back inside now? I don't want to miss out on schoolwork," Adeline said. "Sure, go ahead. I'll be in shortly and tell Sisonke to stop clowning around." "Okay!" Adeline gave her big toothy grin and scampered inside, leaving Marybeth alone with her thoughts.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Alfred stepped forward. “Please. This is my child we’re talking about.” Adeline’s breath hitched. She stared at him, her eyes searching his face as if deciding whether to trust him. After a long pause, she sighed and pushed the door open wider. “Come in.” – – – Adeline led them to her small living room. She sat down, her hands trembling slightly as she reached for a glass of water. Alfred and Favy sat across from her.

He bent his body. “Our apologies Lady Adeline. We're late!” said the bodyguard very sorry. Adeline just smiled cheerfully. She stood up without needing help. Pat! Pat! Adeline patted the shoulder of the bodyguard who was guarding her. "No need to apologize! You are great!" praised Adeline again. Adeline is very humble to anyone. “Please take care of that Lady. She's not a child. I'm pretty sure she's way older than me. An adult lady. She was trying to sedate me earlier. I believe she has the intention to kidnap me.”

GISELLE I told them about Adeline as much as I could remember about her -which wasn't much, and whatever I remembered about her wasn't great. Adeline was a trouble child from the beginning. She was three years older than me and never left an opportunity to terrorise or bully me. I still remember my deep relief when she disappeared and never returned. But now, staring at her face on the screen made me feel uncomfortable, the same way she had always made me feel.

“Thank you, Adeline. I’ll keep that in mind.” She returned smile and walked graciously toward the door. “Thanks, again, Mr. Steel.” “Adeline,” I returned with a nod, holding the door open for her. She nodded and walked out. I gently closed the door behind her and leaned against it in exasperation. “She didn’t seem so bad.” I looked up to see Leila standing in the doorway. “Too young.” Leila laughed. “She’s over a hundred and fifty years old!” I shook my head. “She would be more like a babysitter and playmate than a nanny and protector. I can see her playing cars and Barbies with him, but then if a rogue vampire comes at the door …”

Adeline’s POV I came early. I always do when it matters. I had tied my hair back and dressed plainly, a long coat against the breeze, nothing extravagant. No scarf pulled high, no glasses to shade my eyes. I wasn’t here as Dr. Lean today. I was here as myself—Adeline. And that made every step heavier. I told myself I felt nothing. It wasn’t true. I was here for a child. That was all. A child who did not know me, and must not. A child who made my chest ache and my hands steady in the same breath.
