Chapter 1678
Liberty put Sonny down.Sonny walked to the hospital bed and said to Duncan, “Dunc, you’ll be fine. You’ll get better, just like my mom.”Duncan smiled weakly and did not speak.After the doctors and nurses came to check on Duncan, the doctor suggested not crowding the ward because the patient needed to rest well. Since the patient was awake, everyone should go home and rest too.It was not necessary to cram up the ward because it would affect the patient’s recovery.In the end, only Duncan’s parents insisted on staying with him. The others left the hospital one by one after making sure that Duncan was alright.The sky was getting darker.Everyone was in a heavy mood because of Duncan’s car accident.Under Serenity’s insistence, Liberty took Sonny back to Serenity’s hilltop villa with Zachary and Serenity.Along the way, Serenity silently held Liberty’s hand. The two sisters did not speak, but they understood each other’s feelings.The next day, Wiltspoonians learned that the

Mrs. Lewis sat by the hospital bed like she did yesterday. When she saw Liberty coming in, she quickly got up and said softly, “Liberty, you’re here.”“I came to see Mr. Lewis.”Liberty also spoke in a soft voice for fear of waking Duncan, who was lying on the hospital bed.She handed the bouquet to Mrs. Lewis, who took it and put it beside her son. This was so Duncan could see the bouquet from Liberty as soon as he woke up, and it would definitely cheer him up. That way, Duncan would have the confidence to go through rehab.As soon as Mrs. Lewis put the bouquet next to Duncan, he woke up.When Duncan opened his eyes and saw Liberty standing in front of the bed, he was silent at first. Shortly after, he turned cold and said some harsh words.“Mom, kick her out! I don’t want to see her!”All three standing in front of the bed were stunned when they heard this.Mrs. Lewis looked at her son and then at Liberty. She suspected that her son did not see Liberty clearly.She carefully

Mrs. Lewis had not revealed her intentions yet, but Duncan knew that the moment he was discharged from the hospital and did not persist in continuing his rehabilitation, his mother would definitely look for Liberty.Thus, Duncan wanted to stop that possibility ahead of time.As the ward door closed, Mrs. Lewis let go of Liberty’s hand, turned around, and cried as she leaned against the wall and covered her face.Liberty was silent, took two steps forward, patted Mrs. Lewis on the back, and comforted her. “Mr. Lewis will get better. Don’t worry too much.”She took out a napkin and handed it to Mrs. Lewis.Mrs. Lewis accepted it, turned around, and apologized to Liberty while wiping her tears.“Liberty, this accident has nothing to do with you. It’s all my fault that Duncan got into a car accident. I stopped him from going to see you. It’s all my fault…“After Duncan found out about the severity of his injuries last night, he looked dead inside. I think he just can’t accept this f

Liberty left the hospital and went to her breakfast diner.“Boss, you’re back!”The two shop assistants saw Liberty and greeted her. They looked at her and hesitated to speak.Liberty was distracted and did not notice their expressions.The diner was busy at this hour, so the two assistants went back to work thinking that they could talk about it with their boss later.Seeing their boss’s absent-minded expression, they figured Liberty was aware of the trending topic.Their boss’s sister was the young missus of Wiltspoon’s richest family, so the news would travel much faster to her than to them.Liberty sat down in front of the cash register, thinking about what Duncan said to her.Duncan got into a car accident, so Liberty was worried about him. However, he blamed her for his accident. Liberty thought, ‘I didn’t ask him to come over then. Why did he blame me?’“Liberty.”A familiar voice brought Liberty out of her thoughts.Liberty looked up and saw her sister sitting down

“I’m relieved that’s how you think now. Just know that Mr. Lewis doesn’t mean what he said to you, no matter how bad his attitude was. Don’t take it to heart.”Serenity and Zachary went to the hospital earlier, and Duncan’s father told the couple everything.She felt that Duncan did not mean to say whatever he said.Duncan was just worried that he would be crippled and wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life, so he did not want everyone to pity him.Liberty was silent for a while before saying, “I hope Mr. Lewis won’t give up on himself. I hope he’ll continue his rehabilitation after he gets discharged from the hospital. That way, he’ll recover soon.”“I’m sure he will.”Serenity looked at her sister.“Is there anything else you want to say to me?” Liberty asked.“Mr. Lewis’s car accident made headlines in Wiltspoon. Those people’s imaginations ran wild and dragged you into it.”Liberty was stunned for a moment. She then took out her phone and looked at the local news. She s

Grandma May stared at Duncan. “What? Did you lose all your confidence now that you’re lying here, so you’re pushing Liberty away?”Before Duncan could answer, Grandma May said, “Who do you think you are to Liberty that you can make arrangements for her? You should at least bring her into your world first before you have a chance to push her away.“I bet you haven’t even held her hands. You haven’t even started a relationship with her, so what makes you think you can arrange her life for her?“Does it hurt here?”Grandma May pressed on Duncan’s injured leg with a little force.“Ouch! Nana, it hurts!”Duncan was a tough guy, but he was now in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.He had been enduring the pain and did not make a sound.However, he could let down his guard in front of Grandma May.“It’s good that you can feel the pain. It proves that the nerves in your legs aren’t dead, so you won’t be paralyzed. Of course, it’ll take a long time for you to get back to nor

Grandma May got up and looked at Duncan for a moment. She sighed and walked out of the room.......At the Browns’ residence, Jessica was lying on the sofa, playing with her phone looking delighted.At this time, the door opened.Mrs. Brown and Chelsea came back.Jessica did not like Chelsea, her sister-in-law, because she thought Chelsea was shameless.Chelsea did not greet Jessica either. Jessica and Hank moved back into their newly renovated apartment since Liberty destroyed the previous renovation. Even after moving out of the rented apartment, they did not have any peace.Chelsea was not at all conscientious. She regarded their apartment as her second home and came whenever she pleased. She would come empty-handed and would leave with whatever she could find in the refrigerator.How shameless!Jessica quarreled with Chelsea many times because of this.Jessica thought that her husband’s family would treat her well when they found out she was pregnant, but that was just

Chelsea pointed fingers and cursed at Jessica. “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re pregnant with Hank’s child, I would’ve slapped you a long time ago! I don’t think Liberty is the jinx. You are!“How could you be so wicked to curse your own husband?! If it wasn’t for Hank, you’d still be in prison! He was the one who applied for a reprieve for you, but you cursed him to get into a car accident?!“What does Liberty have anything to do with Mr. Lewis’s accident? Liberty didn’t accept his feelings. He was the one who was going to see Liberty, and his mother chased after him. That’s why he got into an accident. The media is spouting nonsense. They deliberately dragged Liberty into it to attract more attention. How unprofessional!”Chelsea yelled back at Jessica in one breath.Jessica did not have a chance to speak even if she wanted to.Chelsea’s voice was so loud that the neighbors downstairs could hear her.However, the residents in this community had long regarded the Brown fa
