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
How Liberty had hoped that everything bad was a dream and that when she woke up, her parents were still around and their family of four was fine. Nobody knew how much she had endured. Her sister could cry on her when she was sad, but who could she cry on when she had a hard time? “Mom, I don’t want to go. I want to be with you and Dad.” Liberty shook her head in her mother’s arms, not wanting to leave her parents. Lisa pushed her away. “Lib, think about Seren and your son, Sonny. They need you and are waiting for you to go back. Listen to me and quickly return. This isn’t the place for you. Go now!” said Lisa as she pushed her daughter away again. Liberty thought of her sister and her son. Yes, she still had to raise her son, and her sister was still there. What would happen to Sonny if she stayed with her parents? Also, if Serenity found herself in occasional quarrels with Zachary and wanted to go back to her maiden home, nobody would be there. “Lib, go back,” Sc
Liberty saw that her son was well and her sister was also present. She could not speak yet, so she mustered a smile to comfort her sister, but the tears in the corner of her eyes could not be stopped. She made the choice again. Liberty temporarily abandoned her parents and chose to come back to stay with her sister and take care of her son. “Doctor, how’s my sister-in-law doing?” Zachary asked. “The patient is awake and is out of danger. She doesn’t need to stay in the ICU anymore.” Everyone was finally relieved. Liberty was transferred to a general ward, and Zachary arranged for her to stay in a VIP ward. It was quiet and suitable for his sister-in-law to recover. Although Liberty was awake, her body was still very weak. After being pushed back into the ward, she quickly fell into a deep sleep again. Serenity sat in front of the bed with Sonny in her arms to watch over her sister. She would gently touch the end of her sister’s nose from time to time to make sure that s
Duncan stopped talking. After everyone saw Liberty, Grandma May asked his daughters-in-law to head home first and not to disturb Liberty here. Zachary and Serenity looked extremely tired as well. The Stones and the Soxes also came to visit Liberty after learning that she was out of the woods. Mrs. Stone stayed in the hospital until Liberty woke up for the second time and only then did she feel relieved. The Yorks’ bodyguards bought breakfast for everyone. After having breakfast, Zachary said to Duncan, “Duncan, you should get some rest at home first. We agreed to each keep watch for half of last night, but you stayed up the whole night by yourself.” “I’m fine. I’m neither sleepy nor tired. I’ll wait a bit more.” Duncan looked at Liberty, who was surrounded by her relatives and friends. When Liberty woke up for the second time, she still spoke weakly but was in a better spirit than when she first regained consciousness. She did not even notice Duncan, who was outside
Mrs. Lewis was silent on the other end of the line for a while before she asked, “Liberty is now awake and out of danger. When are you coming back? You must be tired after keeping watch the whole night in the hospital. Come home and rest.” “Mom, I’m not tired. I can still hold on, so you don’t have to worry about me.” Mrs. Lewis wanted to lash out at her son. Even so, she held back. She did not say anything else and silently hung up the phone. After his mom ended the call, Duncan put his phone back into his pocket and returned to the ward. He still stood outside the crowd and watched Liberty quietly. Although Liberty was no more at risk, she was still very weak. The doctor did not allow too many family members to stay in the ward as it would disturb her rest. As such, everyone had to leave one after another after seeing her. The last ones to stay in the hospital were Zachary, Serenity, and Duncan again. Liberty went back to sleep and could sleep more soundly. She was
Zachary and Serenity had a disagreement. Serenity even stayed overnight at the Soxes’ and followed her close friends back to her hometown the next day to check the progress of her investment project. That was why she was not with Liberty and her son. When something happened to Liberty yesterday, Serenity rushed back after receiving the call. The small interlude between Zachary and Serenity was captured by the paparazzi and exposed. Now, it was even trending. If Serenity saw this, she might even blame herself and think that she did not protect her sister well because of the conflict between her and Zachary. Zachary asked Josh to handle it. They had to try to hide it from Serenity and not let her know—at least not at this time. Duncan said, “Given your status, anything that has to do with you can easily become a trending topic… Especially after you got married, everyone became highly interested in your married life with Serenity. Those paparazzi are everywhere. They’re the most
Clive defended his cousin and pushed all the blame onto Zachary.Zachary wanted to ride on the radio waves to strangle Clive.“I’m telling you again, I’m fine! There’s no problem with me. Thank you for your concern!”He hung up the phone.Unexpectedly, the phone rang again.He thought it was Clive, answered it without looking, and yelled, “I told you there’s no problem with me, Clive!”“Mr. York… It’s me, Remy.”Zachary’s expression softened. “Remy?”“Yeah, it’s me. How is Ms. Hunt?”“Her life is no longer in danger. Thank you for your concern, Remy.”Remy said, “That’s a relief. Mr. York, you mentioned something about a problem? I know a miracle healer. If you need to see one, I can introduce him to you the next time I see him. He can help take a look at you.”Zachary was speechless.He took a deep breath in, breathed out, and forced himself not to get angry at Remy.“I’m fine, Remy. It was a cock-and-bull story made up by the paparazzi. My wife and I are very well. We ha
