Chapter 1408
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

Duncan frowned when he saw his mother. He felt that his mother’s visit to the hospital was not a good thing.Mrs. Lewis saw the two men standing at the door of the ward and walked straight over.“Mrs. Lewis.”Zachary greeted her politely.Mrs. Lewis smiled gently and responded to his greeting.The way she looked at Zachary made him uncomfortable. He knew what that look meant.Even if he told Josh to take down the trending search immediately, she had most likely seen it. Those who should not see it would have probably seen it.There might be many people who took screenshots too.There was no question about it. Mrs. Lewis was looking at him in concern because she saw the trending search.Those damned paparazzi just had to expose every little thing.In the past, tabloids did not dare reveal information about his private affairs without his permission. Now that he was married and appeared softer, did they think they could appeal to Serenity for mercy and escape disaster if they e

Since Mrs. Lewis came all the way and said such words, Duncan could not stay any longer.Serenity personally escorted Mrs. Lewis out of the ward.She stood at the door of the ward and watched Mrs. Lewis and Duncan walk away.After a long time, she sighed and turned back in with Zachary. She looked at her sleeping sister with worry.Zachary held her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, “Seren, everything will be fine. We don’t have to worry too much.”As long as Duncan realized his feelings, Zachary believed that he could convince his parents to let him be together with Liberty.“Besides, your sister isn’t interested in Duncan in that way. Duncan liking your sister is his business, and there’s no guarantee that your sister will accept him. Let’s see how it goes for now.”Serenity leaned on his shoulder and said softly, “Putting aside Mr. Lewis’s status, he’s a good man. If my sister wants to remarry, I’m very much in favor of them getting together, not because of Mr. Lewis’

Mrs. Lewis felt like she was going to explode from anger.They were not together yet, but Duncan already wanted to be Sonny’s father.Was Hank dead?“Duncan, I’m telling you, I don’t accept Liberty. I won’t allow you to be with her! She’s divorced and has a child. You’re from completely different worlds. The right person for you is a strong and capable woman from an influential family; someone like Lily.“Putting aside the Lewis family, even if we just look at your own achievements, don’t you think that Liberty is still unworthy of you?“You’re the CEO of Lewis & Co., and she’s just the owner of a small breakfast diner. Even the store she rents belongs to you. You two are worlds apart. That’s not me looking down on her. It’s the truth. Duncan, both families have to be well-matched in social status in a marriage. You and Liberty are not suitable for each other.“You should give up on her and go out with Lily. Didn’t you have a great time chatting with her during the Marshall famil
Chapter 1415
Duncan did not care how adamant his mother was and said with a smile, “Mom, you should worry about whether your son can win over Liberty first.”Liberty suffered in her first marriage and no longer longed for love. She would not be easy to pursue.Mrs. Lewis said angrily, “Are you really going to pursue her?”“I didn’t know my feelings before, but when I found out that Liberty got injured, I was so afraid and heartbroken. Although I’m rough and not as attentive as Josh, I’m not stupid. I know that this is care—this is love!“I care about Liberty and like her! Since I like her, I have to pursue her. I can’t just secretly harbor feelings for her while waiting for her to take the initiative to marry me. That’s wishful thinking.”Mrs. Lewis slapped him and warned, “Duncan Lewis, I’m officially warning you now. You’re not allowed to pursue Liberty. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action.”“Love that has braved through storms will last longer. Mom, you can come at me if you’re dis
