Chapter 1434
Zachary was worried about Serenity after seeing how hard Alice had it during her pregnancy.“I already decided not to pressure myself. I want to go back to being the old Serenity Hunt. I’ll live my own life without caring about what others say.”In the end, she still felt that Zachary’s status put a lot of pressure on her.The gap between them was too large.She hoped that her investment project could make her money.Even if she could not match Zachary, at least there was an advancement on her part.“I’ll go rest for a while.”“Okay.”Zachary accompanied her into the ward and watched her lie down beside Sonny. He looked at Liberty’s IV drip and estimated that it would last another half an hour before the next one. Then, he returned to the small lounge, sat down on the sofa again, and organized his work affairs while it was still early.As Liberty healed in the hospital, Serenity remained by her side almost every day.Zachary went back to the office during the day and would co

Liberty sat on the bed. She no longer needed to be hooked on IV drips all day, with only two bags every morning. When the IV therapy finished around noon, she was free to walk around.However, her injured hand had not regained her usual strength. She could not even hold her son.She was a little worried that it would affect her business in the future.The doctor said that she would recover fully as long as she recuperated well, so she was relieved.“Jasmine and I have been friends for many years. Of course, I’ll attend her engagement party.”Serenity peeled the apple and sliced it into four. She handed one to her sister, one to Sonny, and the remaining two to Mrs. Lane and the other maid.“You go ahead, Missus.”Mrs. Lane declined the apple.Serenity smiled and said, “Take it, Mrs. Lane. I don’t really like apples.”Liberty chimed in, “It’s true, Mrs. Lane. Seren doesn’t like to eat apples. If you don’t eat them, they’ll just end up getting tossed out.”At the sisters’ words,

After Zachary talked to Duncan, Duncan did not dare visit Liberty on a daily basis. He only visited her twice that week. The first time was the night he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zachary. The second time was that day itself. “Mr. Lewis, Ms. Harmon.”Liberty got up in a hurry when she saw them enter. Duncan put the fruit basket down and handed the bouquet to Liberty. He gazed at her gently and said, “These flowers are for you, Liberty.”“Thank you, Mr. Lewis. You’re too kind.”Liberty accepted the flowers and thanked Duncan. She had been receiving many fruit baskets and bouquets every day. She was a person of minor importance, but she was still the biological sister of Mrs. York and Mrs. Stone’s niece. Therefore, she received many visitors every day. Duncan smiled. His gaze lingered on Liberty for a long time before saying worriedly, “Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?”“I can only leave the hospital after another week.”Duncan nodded. Lily also asked

Hank could not even enter the room even though he had come. However, laughter could be heard coming from the room when Duncan was inside. The stark contrast made Hank disappointed. “Hank,” Mrs. Brown said in dissatisfaction. “Mr. Lewis is in Liberty’s room, Hank!” Chelsea glared at her brother and reminded him. “That’s their freedom. What does it have to do with us? Let’s go.”After speaking, Hank left his parents and sister and walked away. He did not even pass the flowers he bought to the bodyguard to be brought inside. Instead, he threw the bouquet away in a nearby trash can. “Hank, Hank.”Mrs. Brown went after him. She glanced at the flowers when she passed by. Ah, the flowers were worth hundreds of dollars. It was wasted just like that by her wasteful son. Mr. Brown sighed and left as well. Only Chelsea remained at the ward’s door. She said to the York family’s bodyguards, “I won’t disturb Liberty as she has to entertain her guests. I’ll visit her after the g

Lily held her cup and took a sip of coffee elegantly. After that, she smiled at Duncan and said, “You’re such an honest person. Your words do hurt my pride.“Can you tell me why you fell in love with Liberty? She’s divorced and has a three-year-old son. She isn’t even on equal social status as you. I just wish to know how I lost so I can overcome my shortcomings…”“To be honest, I have no idea either. I didn’t even know I had romantic feelings for Liberty. I only realized I had unconsciously developed those feelings after the panic, fear, and heartache I felt after she got hurt.“I don’t care that she’s divorced. I don’t mind that she has a son too. I like Sonny. As for social status… I don’t care about it. However, I won’t confess for now to not make her feel pressured. I’m willing to wait for her for two to three years and confess to her after her career takes off.”Duncan thought he would have higher chances of succeeding if he confessed to Liberty after her business flourished.

Duncan stared at Lily in silence. After some time, he said calmly, “This is your decision, Ms. Harmon. You can do as you wish, but I won’t reciprocate or accept your feelings just because of this.”He knew that Lily’s feelings for him had not extended to one of love. Therefore, she could remain alert and rational when facing his reply. She even accepted the fact that she lost to Liberty calmly. However, he still made things clear beforehand. No matter what Lily did, Duncan would never accept her. He did not have a big heart. It was only enough for one person. The woman who entered his heart first would be kept there forever. Duncan would feel happy if he could marry the person he loved. If he could not marry her, he would not forget her and store his feelings for her in the depths of his heart. Lily smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Duncan. I won’t expect you to repay me or accept my feelings for this. We’re all adults. We have to face the consequences of all the decisions we

‘How did Serenity conquer such a cold, arrogant man?’ Chelsea criticized inwardly. She would not be able to bear spending time with a man like that. He was too cold!She did not dare look at Zachary anymore. Instead, she smiled and said to Serenity, “Serenity, can I have a few words with you in private?”Serenity asked Chelsea, “What is it that you can’t say right now?”Chelsea took a quick glance at Zachary, then Serenity. Indeed, Serenity was more pleasing to the eye. Chelsea used to treat Serenity meanly and instigate her brother to quarrel with Liberty. It was an indirect way of forcing Serenity to move out. Firstly, it was because she wanted to make space for her children. She had planned to send her children to the middle school in the city. Secondly, Chelsea was jealous of Serenity’s youth and beauty. Liberty was beautiful before she married too. However, she did not bother maintaining it and bloated up like a ball. Her beauty before her marriage was gone. Serenity was

Chelsea did not know what was good about Jessica that bewitched her brother. His son almost got into an accident because of Jessica. His ex-wife was injured too. However, he was still partial to Jessica. Chelsea was greatly dissatisfied with her brother. She felt guilty too.It would have been nice if her brother and Liberty were not divorced. Chelsea made mistakes in the past and was trying to correct them for her brother and Liberty to remarry. “Just be straightforward, Chelsea. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I don’t like talking to people who go in circles, wanting me to guess their thoughts.”Serenity could more or less guess Chelsea’s intentions from her expression. The Browns simply wanted Hank and her sister to remarry. It was ridiculous. What did they take her sister for to be at their beck and call?The Browns would never have regretted it if Hank had not been in a dire situation.“Serenity, I like your frankness. I’ll be honest. Is Mr. Lewis pursui
