Chapter 1416
After returning to the Lewis residence, Mrs. Lewis did not want to wake her son up. However, she could not carry her son as she did when he was a child, so she had no choice but to wake him up.“Duncan, we’re home. Wake up.”Duncan only woke up after a few nudges from his mother.He was still a bit dazed when he opened his eyes. He looked at his mother for a while before coming to his senses and getting out of the car.Lily just came back from outside. The car she drove was lent to her by Mrs. Lewis.“Mrs. Lewis, Duncan,” Lily greeted as she got out of the car.The two of them got along well at the Marshall family’s banquet. She thought that was the beginning of her good relationship with Duncan, so she was friendlier with him.“Lily, where did you go?”Mrs. Lewis was full of smiles when facing Lily. She really liked Lily and wanted Lily to be her youngest daughter-in-law.Her best friend thought the same, and the two family’s elders were all looking forward to it.Mrs. Lewis

Lily looked at Mrs. Lewis.Mrs. Lewis asked the servants to carry all the things that Lily bought into the house while she took Lily for a walk around the yard.She sighed as she walked.“Tell me what’s on your mind, Mrs. Lewis. Maybe I can help. Don’t sigh. There are many people around you to support you.”Mrs. Lewis took Lily’s hand and looked at her, saying, “Lily, you’re a capable and understanding girl. You can take care of both your work and family at home, and you also dominate the business world. In my eyes, you’re the ideal daughter-in-law.“I really don’t know what’s wrong with Duncan’s eyes. How can he have feelings for Liberty? Our greatest worry came true. Liberty got injured, and he stayed in the hospital all night to watch over her. He only came back now to rest because I dragged him out.“On the way back, he also admitted that he cared about Liberty and liked her too. Lily, you have to fight harder. You’re superior to Liberty in every way, so you have to defeat he

The York family bodyguards blocked them from entering the ward.“We heard that Liberty woke up and came to see her,” Olivia said to the bodyguard with a smile.Serenity did not tell Hank that Liberty woke up.However, the kidnapping was too high-profile, and there were too many people involved. News about the incident instantly went viral, so everyone in Wiltspoon knew about it.Naturally, everyone also paid attention to Liberty’s injury.The media found out that her life was no longer in danger and she was released from the ICU.Countless people were moved by her maternal love and prayed for her, hoping that she would recover. The media reported her overcoming the critical period, which was how the Brown family found out.“As our missus said, Ms. Hunt still needs to recuperate. There shouldn’t be noise disturbing her. It’s enough that you know her life is no longer in danger. There’s no need to go in and disturb her.”The one who spoke was Jim.Chelsea said loudly, “We’re jus

“Serenity, this is a little gift from me. Keep it for your sister. When people visit someone at the hospital, it’s customary to bring a gift.” Chelsea brought up the social custom.She insisted that Liberty accept the gift card.Olivia also gave Liberty a gift card.Serenity refused, and in the end, the mother and daughter shoved the gift cards to Sonny and let him hold them. Then, they quickly ran away.Mr. Brown ran along with them, not letting Serenity return the gift cards.Only Hank stood there, watching Liberty awkwardly.Serenity wanted to let Hank take the gift cards away, but Sonny refused to let go. He clung tightly to the cards and said, “Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave these to me!”Serenity said gently, “Sonny, you have to return these gift cards to them. We don’t want their money.”“Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave them to me!”Sonny refused resolutely. His grandmother and aunt gave him gift cards in the past, but his mother would always exchange them for cash and p

“Thank you,” Camryn said to Serenity.“Serenity,” Callum greeted.Serenity hummed and helped Camryn sit down in a chair.Callum placed the fruit basket and bouquet on the bedside table and said warmly, “Liberty, these are from Ms. Newman. We wish you a speedy recovery.”Liberty thanked them.She did not know Camryn well, but she knew that her sister and Camryn got along with each other. Her sister told her that Camryn was the wife chosen for Callum by his grandmother. Judging by Callum’s attitude toward Camryn, he had accepted his grandmother’s arrangement.“Liberty.”Camryn faced Liberty.“I’m sorry.”She apologized.“Why are you apologizing to me, Ms. Newman?” Liberty’s voice was a little weak. After the anesthesia wore off, her wounds and the surgery incisions hurt so much that her face was pale. She could not even raise her voice to speak louder.Camryn said guiltily, “This all started because of me. In order to save me, Serenity lent me a hand, which was why my mother h

After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “It’ll trouble Mr. Callum.”“You don’t have to call him Mr. Callum. That sounds so distant. Just call him Callum. We’re friends, and he’s my brother-in-law. You two have known each other for a while now, so you’re considered friends too.”Callum cast a grateful look at his sister-in-law.Camryn just smiled and did not answer.Liberty still needed to rest, so Camryn could not stay too long.After Audrey and Elisa arrived, Camryn and Callum left together.“Seren, you take Sonny and Zachary back for lunch and rest at home in the afternoon. Elisa and I will stay here to watch over your sister, then you two can come back at night to take over.”Audrey wanted to watch over Liberty at night too, but she could not win against Serenity.She understood where Serenity was coming from.Her children were also worried that she could not hold on in her old age.Serenity looked at her sister.“Listen to Aunt Audrey, Seren.”Liberty said gently, “My h

Serenity felt that it was her fault for not being by her sister’s side because of the argument she had with him. How would she feel if she found out that her fertility was being talked about online too?“Okay, let’s go back to the manor. Nana said that Sonny was frightened too badly and should be looked at by a psychic. My mom said I was often looked at by psychics when I was a kid too.”After getting in the car, Zachary said, “I don’t know when Nana started being so superstitious. That psychic also looked into our fate and said that we were destined to be husband and wife. That’s why Nana tried her best to get us together.”Serenity was speechless. “That was the reason? I thought it was because Nana liked my character, but it turns out I was wrong—it was a psychic who brought us together.”Zachary held Sonny’s hand in one hand and grabbed hers with the other. “This psychic is pretty good.”He was right to say that Zachary and Serenity were destined to be husband and wife.They w

In the meantime, after leaving the hospital, Callum did not send Camryn back to Spring Blossoms but went to Wiltspoon Hotel instead. He said, “I accompanied you to the hospital, so lunch is your treat.”Camryn, who was thinking about something else, was instantly speechless.He always made her buy him meals!She looked at Callum and asked calmly, “Where do you want to eat?”“I think...”His cell phone rang before he could finish, interrupting what he was about to say.There was no caller ID saved to the number, but he recognized it. It was from Mr. Newman.“Your uncle is calling,” Callum said to Camryn.Camryn frowned and then said calmly, “I think he’s anxious and wants you to help.”Mr. Newman was indeed feeling uneasy. He was also fearful.His wife and he were tied to the same boat. Although most of it was obviously his wife’s doing, he could not escape being scrutinized and investigated. He would not be able to get away if the police investigated deeper.His wife and he
