Chapter 1767
Sonny was a baby boy. However, if he were to be a baby girl, the elders would not just surround him and coax him to talk. They would have been fighting to carry the baby girl. The York family had not had baby girls for generations. They would really go crazy for a baby girl. Zachary and Serenity, who were neglected, were happy and relaxed. They could even whisper sweet nothings to each other. Not long after, the rest of the family gradually arrived. The number of people sitting in the corner increased too. Everyone exchanged glances with the same expression on their faces.Serenity’s stomach was about to hurt from laughing at the York brothers’ expressions. At that moment, the butler entered and walked to Grandma May’s side. He reminded her and everyone else with a smile, “Old Mrs. York, Mr. Callum has returned with Ms. Newman.”“Camryn’s here. Let’s all go to Callum’s house.”In the York family, the main house was located in the center, and those who lived there were Za

In the end, Callum went along with her wish. After the butler called a few servants to move the gifts from the car, Callum slowly walked toward his house while holding Camryn’s hand.The servants followed them with multiple bags in their hands. Callum learned that Camryn’s way of getting around was based on the number of steps in her memory. Therefore, he walked very slowly so she could remember the number of steps she had taken. When they passed the main house, he told her, “We’re in front of the door to the main house now. There are a few steps leading up to the door. The main house in Wildridge Manor is where my nana and eldest uncle live.”Camryn nodded. She had the journey from the parking lot to the main house memorized. “Do we have to go in? Are we meeting Old Mrs. York first?” Camryn asked softly. Based on Callum’s usual respectful behavior toward Zachary, she thought he would take her into the main house. “We’ll go inside later. Let’s go to our house first. Nana
Chapter 1769
Callum brought Camryn to the door of his house and stopped to tell her how many steps were in front of the door. Then, he helped her to walk up the stairs. He dared not walk too quickly as he feared Camryn would fall. Camryn could hear the liveliness in the house. She knew there were many people. Callum had told her that his elders and brothers were already waiting inside the house. She even heard Zachary and Serenity’s voices. There seemed to be Sonny’s voice in the mix too. Liberty had to take care of Mr. Lewis, so Sonny had been with his aunt most of the time.“Camryn.”Seeing Callum bringing Camryn inside, Serenity stood up to welcome her as the eldest sister-in-law. “Seren.”Camryn stopped and replied to her. The blush on her face was not gone yet. She did not think she was embarrassed, but her face kept feeling hot. It must have been due to the weather. Camryn found an excuse for the flush on her face. “You just arrived, right? Are you tired?” Serenity asked
Chapter 1770
Everyone knew Camryn could not see and relied on her hearing and memory to differentiate people. They kept quiet when Callum introduced her to them and only spoke during their turn. It made it easier for Camryn to remember who the voice belonged to. Camryn was touched by the York family’s attentiveness again. Callum did not lie to her. His family was great. Whether the elders or youngsters, they did not shun her or think she was not good enough for Callum. She was the one who had been overly inferior. She did not dare to accept Callum’s feelings. After much delay, she finally took a courageous first step. If Aunt Evelyn had not visited FC Manor in Annenburg and found out that Callum had gone there to seek the genius doctor for her, she might not have been able to gather the courage to take a step forward. Grandma May was the eldest in the York family and the gentlest. She did not have the arrogance of an elder at all. Rosella was Callum’s mother, and she was deeply concerne
Chapter 1771
Since an elevator was needed to move between floors, Liberty believed the security detail was not needed. Liberty pushed Duncan into the elevator to get upstairs. Duncan still could not walk on his own, and Liberty was only taking him out for a stroll. Otherwise, Duncan would be cranky to lie in bed all day. Despite another month-long stay in the hospital, Duncan still could not stand on his feet, and it fueled his bad temper. He got the feeling that he might never walk again. For this reason, Duncan wanted to drive Liberty away more than ever. He did not want Liberty to look after him. He even offered six hundred thousand dollars to Liberty every month so that she would not hang around him. Duncan felt bad to see the tired state Liberty was in. Liberty lost a lot of weight after taking care of him for a little over a month. There was no telling when he would ever get better. At this rate, Liberty would become skin and bones just caring for him. He simply could not bear to see
Chapter 1772
Mrs. Lewis was afraid that her husband and son would get into a fight, so she pushed her son to the right where there was a ramp for wheelchair users. Liberty and Mrs. Lewis wheeled Duncan to the lower floor. Once on the first floor, they saw medical personnel wheeling a patient into the elevator. Liberty caught sight of a familiar face. It was her ex-sister-in-law’s husband, George. George paused in motion when he saw Liberty too. “Liberty,” George greeted.Liberty was about to pretend not to know him and walk away, but George called her name. With Liberty stopping in her tracks, Mrs. Lewis looked at George and asked Liberty, “Who is he?” “He’s my ex-husband’s brother-in-law.” Mrs. Lewis went to push her son ahead and told Liberty, “Oh, we’ll be waiting for you outside.” Since George wanted to have a word with Liberty, Mrs. Lewis did not want to get into their business. Once Mrs. Lewis and Duncan were gone, Liberty asked, “What are you doing here, Mr. Repton? Is som
Chapter 1773
Liberty listened as George tore into Jessica while thinking to herself, ‘Surely, the Browns pushed Jessica too far until a weak girl like her went stabbing.’People tended to act recklessly when cornered and pressured. Murder often happened when people were pushed over the edge. Liberty was not surprised that Jessica would stab Chelsea since Chelsea loved to stir the pot. Chelsea often poked her nose in Hank’s business, so it was no wonder Hank’s wife resented her. Before Liberty and Hank got a divorce, Liberty hated Chelsea’s guts. It was a good thing that Chelsea did not always stick around the Browns’ family home back then. The breathing space kept Liberty from losing her mind and committing murder. Chelsea resented Jessica for aiding and abetting outsiders to kidnap Lucas, so she went after Jessica at every turn. Chelsea would create a rift between Hank and Jessica and pit her parents against Jessica every time she stayed at the Browns’ residence. The Browns’ household was
Chapter 1774
During the first time Liberty wheeled Duncan out for some fresh air downstairs, Duncan realized that the people, who went in and out of the hospital, paid no mind that Duncan could not walk. No one gave him looks of sympathy. Death was frequent in the hospital. Wheelchair-bound was nothing compared to death. “Over here, Liberty.” With Liberty approaching, Mrs. Lewis stopped and beckoned at her. Duncan tensed his facial muscles as if the world owed him. While Liberty was talking with George, Duncan overheard that George was Liberty’s ex-husband’s brother-in-law. He had a problem with it. The Browns were everywhere. Liberty either always ran into the Brown family, or the Browns would pester Liberty at All You Can Eat. The divorce was more than six months ago. What more did the Browns want? Did they think that Liberty would be unwanted after Hank? The Brown family sure thought Hank was all that. Liberty’s previous weight never bothered Duncan, but he did think that L
