Duncan took a deep breath and another to stop himself from blowing up. It did not matter to Liberty whether he was angry or not. Liberty sat by the bed undisturbed as Duncan pounded the bed and demanded that she leave. He was steamed up while she remained calm and watched him make a fool of himself. Duncan had his pride. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of Liberty like that again. “Liberty.” Duncan’s dark eyes locked on Liberty. Hiding his feelings behind his eyes, he coldly uttered, “You have seen how I am now. I don’t need your help. You can leave.” Liberty drew close and sat on a chair next to the bed before looking at him with a smile. She had slimmed down and looked as beautiful as she was before entering her last marriage. Her smile was pretty and soothing, easing the fury in Duncan. “Mr. Lewis, are your hearing and comprehension fine?” Liberty asked. With a stern face, Duncan answered, “I’m covered in injuries, but they do not affect my hearing

Surely, Liberty would leave if Duncan could give her the brush off and throw fits. She would think differently about him. That way, she would have no qualms about marrying another when she met the right person.With that in mind, Duncan vowed to himself to make it happen. So what if Liberty would come by every day to care for him? He had ways to get Liberty to give up on the daily wages of ten thousand dollars and stay away from him. Since it was quiet in the ward, Mrs. Lewis gently pushed the door open to take a peek inside. Her son cocked his head and quietly watched Liberty sleeping in the bed for dependents. Mrs. Lewis believed she made the right call to hire Liberty as her son’s carer. So long as her son was still in love with Liberty, Liberty could get Duncan to eat, sleep, and carry on with physiotherapy. Sensing another presence in the room, Duncan turned to look at his mother. He fell silent for a bit before uttering, “Mom, Liberty mentioned that you hired her for

Meanwhile, Elisa and Serenity took their own cars and drove into the Stones’ residence. Remy, who had been keeping an eye out from next door, immediately drew close the moment the girls pulled up at the driveway. He arrived with a bouquet of beautiful roses and a set of jewelry. Elisa got out of the car and took notice of a familiar car parked not too far away. While the vehicle looked familiar, Elisa could not put her finger on the owner of the car. She cocked her head to ask the maid who opened the gates for her, only to find Remy approaching with flowers and a red bag of stuff. Elisa chuckled. Elisa went up to Remy. The Stone family’s maid was about to close the gates. Mr. and Mrs. Stone had informed in advance to close the gates before Ms. Elisa saw Mr. Remy. Mr. Remy was not allowed in the residence.

When Remy saw her, he asked Elisa with a smile, “You went to talk business with Serenity, huh?”“Mm. Now that I’ve expanded my investment, business expansion is necessary as well.

“Your sister…” Mrs. Stone felt that Liberty was always having a rough time in relationships. She bit her tongue mid-sentence.“Mr. Lewis still doesn’t want to meet Liberty?” Mrs. Stone asked concernedly.“He didn’t want to meet Zachary and I when we went to visit him. Zachary texted him, but Duncan didn’t reply or answer any calls. He led himself down a blind alley, always assuming that we’re just taking pity on him.”Mrs. Stone let out a sigh.Elisa and Remy came in while holding hands.

“Jim, what did you see just now?” Zachary, who was silent, suddenly asked.Jim answered without hesitation, “I saw Ms. Daniels stroke your palm.”With that, he became conscious of what he had just said. He quickly changed his answer. “No, no, boss. I didn’t see anything. Really, I saw nothing.”Considering Zachary’s brilliance, he could easily win young women’s hearts. In order to avoid trouble, he had been bringing along bodyguards whose main job was to stop young women from approaching him. They did not expect this accident to happen tonight.From the way Ms. Daniels looked at Zachary, she had an ulterior purpose.“From now onward, all young women, except my family, must keep a distance of ten feet from me.”Zachary felt the need to behave like he did back then whereby he made all young women, except his family members, stay ten feet away from him.He thought that everyone was aware of his marriage with Serenity, so no one would have an interest in him.He was wrong.Someo
