“Mom,” Clive and Elisa called out to Mrs. Stone. Mr. Stone also disapproved of his wife’s staying. He said, “We can’t do anything by staying in the hospital. Let’s all go back to rest and take care of the things that haven’t been taken care of yet.” “I’m worried!” Mrs. Stone’s voice choked up right after she said that. She was worried about her niece as much as Serenity was worried about her sister. She and Serenity were the same. “Aunt Audrey, go home and rest. I’ll let you know as soon as my sister wakes up.” Serenity helped to persuade Mrs. Stone to go home. Mrs. Stone was gradually getting older, after all. She finally left the hospital after everyone repeatedly persuaded her. In the end, only Zachary, Serenity, and Duncan remained. “Duncan, there are still many things you and Josh need to deal with together. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know once Liberty wakes up.” Zachary knew his good friend was also worried about his sister-in-law. He patted Duncan’s shoulder a
Serenity tilted her head to look at Zachary and asked him, “Did you guys discuss this long ago? Or did you already know the other party’s plot and deliberately used Sonny to lure them?” “We didn’t!” Zachary hurriedly denied it. “The Buchams only watched Mrs. Newman’s moves and noticed that she was unusual today. They informed me and Duncan, so we increased our efforts to protect Liberty and Sonny.” Zachary explained, “If they snatch Sonny away, we can surely save him. Only, we underestimated Liberty’s determination as a mother to protect her child. She ran so fast at that time and left our bodyguards behind. “They were only a few minutes slower, but she was already harmed.” Serenity looked down at Sonny, who was not even sleeping soundly. She said with red eyes, “Sonny was born to my sister and is her life. Not to mention she didn’t know you had people secretly protecting her and could help her save Sonny. But even if she knew, she would still chase after the bad guys out of
“Seren, how’s Liberty? It hasn’t been long since I followed Kevin on a business trip, and such a big thing has happened.” The person who called Serenity was Grandma May. She followed Kevin to Jensburg on a business trip and had only just received the news of Liberty’s misfortune. “Nana…” Serenity had just stopped crying but wanted to cry again when she heard Grandma May’s voice. She said in a sobbing tone, “Nana, my sister is injured.” “Seren, don’t cry and tell me how she is. I’m on my way back. Don’t worry, I’ll be there even if the sky falls.” When Grandma May heard that Liberty was injured, she could not be bothered about creating opportunities for Kevin and rushed back to Wiltspoon. Kevin’s work was almost finished, and he was worried about letting his nana go home by herself, hence he handed over the remaining work to someone else and returned to Wiltspoon with her. “The doctor said she’s out of the woods for now, but she has to stay in the ICU for a few days. She
“Sonny.” Zachary carried Sonny over. Sonny did not resist his embrace when he was awake. The person he trusted most at the moment besides his Aunt Ser was his Uncle Zak. “Sonny, don’t be scared. I’ve defeated the bad guys, the police have also taken them away, and the doctor saved your mom. Tomorrow or the day after at the latest, your mom will come out and open her eyes to call you.” Sonny looked seriously at Zachary and asked, “Uncle Zak, is what you say true?” “When have I ever lied to you, Sonny? It’s true.” Zachary carried Sonny and walked toward the bathroom. “Sonny, I’ll take you to wash your face and hands, okay?” Sonny nodded because he saw that his hands were dirty. With that, Zachary took Sonny into the bathroom to clean his face and hands before coming out again. His bodyguard happened to have returned with fast food. Serenity had no appetite to eat. She fed Sonny first, but he had also lost his appetite. Zachary advised them again, “Seren, Sonny, ho
Duncan looked worried. He retracted his gaze after a long time and reached out to carry Sonny out of Serenity’s arms, but Sonny did not want to be carried by him. Sonny turned his head and lay on Serenity’s shoulder. Duncan looked gloomy. He felt that even Sonny was blaming him for not protecting Liberty well. “Sonny is frightened and only clings to his Aunt Ser now,” Zachary explained. Duncan pursed his lips and responded, “It’s okay, I don’t blame him. Zachary, I’ll watch over Liberty here. You should take Serenity and Sonny back to rest for a while.” Zachary said after some thought, “Okay.” He persuaded Serenity and Sonny to go rest in the RV with him. He would come back to keep watch over his sister-in-law for the second half of the night. Zachary was at ease now that Duncan was here. Besides, his bodyguards were present as well. “Serenity, you can hold on, but Sonny is a child and won’t be able to do the same, so you should think for him. He’s the child your si
Knock, knock.There was a knock on the door. Mr. Brown went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Chelsea crashed in and asked nervously, “Dad, how’s Liberty? Is Sonny fine? I rushed over right away after receiving your call.” Mr. Brown answered, “Sonny is fine. He was just very frightened and is only willing to follow his Aunt Ser now. As for Liberty… She’s still in the ICU. The doctor said she’ll be fine if she pulls through the next few days, but if she doesn’t… Ah, pfft, she’ll pull through. She’s a good person, and a good person will also be blessed.” “Yes, yes, yes, Liberty is a good person. She’ll definitely be fine—she’ll be fine.” Chelsea had been nice to Liberty and Serenity ever since Serenity saved her little son. She sincerely hoped that Liberty would get better. When she saw her brother, she pounced over and punched him a few times. She scolded, “Hank, you didn’t listen to us. Look what kind of a vicious woman you married! She made a mess of our famil
Duncan had no idea he cared so much about Liberty. He always thought that he liked Sonny and was nice to Liberty because of the little guy. After knowing that Liberty was stabbed a few times by the bad guy, Duncan was heartbroken, and it was difficult to describe the pain. As slow as he was, he came to understand that he had long developed feelings for Liberty. Why did he like her? He did not know either. No wonder his friends always saw him and Liberty as a pair; outsiders had a better perception.Duncan was not moved even when he faced the outstanding Lily. Instead, he wanted to run away. It was not that Lily was not good enough, but he had unknowingly had his heart set on Liberty. When Chelsea, her husband, and her parents arrived at the hospital, they saw Duncan keeping watch outside the ward. Duncan turned around when he heard footsteps. Seeing that it was Chelsea and her husband, his face turned gloomy, and he looked coldly at the Browns. “Why are you here?” Ch
“What’s wrong with me being here to watch over Liberty? How does it affect you? Who are you to Liberty? Is it your place to influence my decision? You don’t need to care about how Liberty is doing. It’s your family—your awesome sister-in-law—that caused her to be lying there now!” Duncan said to Chelsea.“Jessica is a spiteful woman. I never considered her as my sister-in-law, and I only recognize Liberty as that.” “Hah!” Duncan said sarcastically, “Have you forgotten what you did to Liberty back then, Mrs. Repton? Liberty needs rest, and your family isn’t welcome here, so please leave now!” Duncan gestured to the Yorks’ bodyguards to shoo Chelsea, her parents, and George. The Browns were the most bizarre and outrageous people he had ever met. Chelsea did not get to see Liberty. Duncan was standing in the doorway, so she did not even have a chance to get close. The York’s bodyguards came to shoo her, so her parents pulled her away. In Duncan’s words, Liberty was lying th
