For some reason—probably tired from running or scared stiff—Hank lost all energy and could not pick Liberty up. “Don’t move Ms. Hunt!” The York family’s bodyguard pushed Hank away to prevent him from moving Liberty as it might cause Liberty to bleed out. After calling the emergency line, the bodyguard tried to stop the bleeding and contact Zachary and the others too. Having found out that his sister-in-law was stabbed multiple times, Zachary shouted, “How could you allow Liberty to get hurt when there were so many of you watching her?” How was he supposed to explain to Seren? The bodyguards remained without a word. They had a lot of eyes on Liberty and Sonny, but so did the other party too. The security team was minutes away from catching up to Liberty, and it was in those minutes Liberty was stabbed. The nearest ambulance was sent to the scene. Liberty was rushed to the hospital for treatment. “Mom…” Sonny sobbed and wailed. He was covered in blood—his mother
“Liberty.” Serenity was at a town near her hometown, checking on the progress of her project when she picked up the call. Thinking that it was her sister, Serenity said hello with a smile. Zachary also dialed Serenity’s number while on his way to the hospital, but Sonny was one step ahead of him. His call did not go through. “Aunt Ser…” Sonny burst out crying at the sound of his aunt’s voice. Serenity tried to calm her nephew down. “What’s the matter, Sonny? Why are you crying? Was the lesson tiring? Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Sonny is a man, and men don’t cry. Don’t cry, Sonny. I’ll take you to the supermarket later. I’ll get you whatever you want.” “Aunt Ser, Mom was bleeding. There was a lot of blood… Come back, Aunt Ser. Mom’s about to die… Wahhh!” Sonny’s voice trailed on and off amid the wailing. On the other end of the line, Serenity was in shock. The phone fell right out of her hand. Next to Serenity, Elisa bent over to pick up the phone. Serenity managed to gr
Zachary heard Jasmine shout from the other side of the phone. He also kept calling, “Seren, Seren!” Elisa picked up Serenity’s phone and yelled at Zachary, “Zachary, what did you say to Serenity? What did you say happened to Liberty?” “Elisa, send Serenity back first. Liberty is injured and is being treated at the hospital. Let’s talk about the rest when you’re back.” “How is Liberty doing?” Elisa’s face changed as well. She knew Serenity was only so frightened because something happened to Liberty, but she did not know what exactly happened to Liberty. After hearing what Zachary said, Elisa was feeling nervous and afraid too. The Hunt sisters were her mom’s favorites. If something were to happen to Liberty, who knew how sad Elisa’s mom would be? “I don’t know either. She was stabbed a few times and is still being rescued. We’re already at the hospital. Elisa, send Seren back with Ms. Sox now. Drive safe.” Zachary wished he could fly over to pick up his wife. Howe
When Sonny was snatched, even if Liberty and Hank did not go after him, the men who were secretly protecting them could also save him. They had long set up a trap and were ready to catch the kidnappers. Only, they neglected a mother’s determination to protect her child. Mothers were willing to sacrifice themselves for their children. A mother who saw her child being abducted would definitely run after the child. The men who were protecting Liberty and Sonny thought of that but did not expect Liberty to be able to keep up with the kidnappers. Her physical strength was amazing. She refused to give up no matter what. Even when she was kicked hard and stabbed by the bad guys, she did not let go. Only when she saw the Yorks’ bodyguards did she know it was safe and was willing to let go. In the end, she was seriously injured while Sonny was unharmed. Duncan turned around and punched the wall. Yes, he too had sent people to protect Liberty and her son. Despite that, Libert
Serenity’s words brought Mrs. Stone to tears as well. She thought of herself back then when she and her sister were sent to the orphanage, there were two of them. However, when she finally had news of her sister, she became the only one left. She did not even see her only sister one last time. Zachary hugged Serenity tightly, giving her support and comfort. “Seren, Liberty will be fine. She’ll wake up soon. It’ll be alright. “Don’t worry. We still have to help her take care of Sonny. He’s terrified.” Serenity was so scared that she could not stop crying. Zachary’s reassurance did not work at all but once he mentioned Sonny, her cries became softer. Yes, she still needed to help her sister take care of Sonny. After crying for a while, Serenity adjusted her emotions and took the tissue given to her by Zachary to wipe her tears. She then left his embrace and walked toward Sonny, who had been held by Hank. “Aunt Ser.” Sonny stretched out his hands toward Serenity. Ser
Liberty was in the ICU and did not need to be taken care of by family members, who were only allowed to visit inside for a while every day. Although Serenity could not watch over her sister in the ward, she refused to leave the hospital and insisted on waiting outside for her sister to wake up. Her sister would definitely wake up. Police came to the hospital. Everyone watched as several police officers walked over. “Which one of you is Jessica Yates?” asked the policeman in the lead. Everyone looked at Jessica. Jessica answered with fear, “I am.” After saying something, that policeman immediately let two policewomen go forward to take her away. “Officer.” Hank hurriedly blocked their way. His parents followed behind him. They all looked at the police officers. “Officer, may I ask what crime my wife has committed? Why are you taking her away?” Hank questioned. “We suspect that Jessica Yates is involved in this child abduction, so we need to take her back for th
“Jessica wants to cut off our family line! She wants to get Sonny and Liberty killed! This wicked woman! You b*tch!” Mrs. Brown cursed at the top of her lungs. If this incident was caused by Jessica, then the past accident when their family went to the zoo was not an accident, but a scheming plan by her. How could this woman be so malicious?! She wanted to abduct both of her grandsons. When Serenity heard that Jessica was involved in the incident, she shoved Sonny into Zachary’s arms and wanted to beat Jessica up. “Seren.” Zachary tugged at Serenity and reminded her, “She’ll be punished by law. Don’t do this.” The police had come, so they did not need to be the ones to teach Jessica a lesson. Julian had collected evidence, so Jessica would not be able to get away. She would be jailed for a few years at least. If the men of Mrs. Newman’s godfather were captured, all of them had prior criminal records and would be dealt heavier sentences. That was because they wer
It was Serenity who offended the unknown woman. The woman wanted to take revenge on her, so she found Jessica and forced her to use Sonny. That woman said that even if Sonny was in her possession, as long as he behaved well and did not cry or cause trouble, she would not do anything to him. As long as Serenity went to see her, he would return safely. Sonny would not lose a single hair. How could Jessica know that Liberty would get hurt because of Sonny? Sonny was going to be fine no matter what. Hank stood in place and muttered, “How could it be Jessica? How could it be Jessica…? How could it be?” “Hank!” Mr. Brown shouted fiercely and slapped Hank all of a sudden. The slap was as loud as it could be. Everyone watched, but no one stopped him. “It was you—it was you who brought that spiteful woman into our family. She broke your marriage and caused havoc in our family. Sonny’s custody was given to Liberty, and yet she did such a malicious thing to him. That vicious wom
