Chapter 1775
Liberty said, “I want to take a look, Mrs. Lewis. Sonny is his son. Sonny should see Hank one last time if he doesn’t make it. Mr. Lewis, your mom will stay with you for now.” “I’ll keep Duncan company. Go on. Let us know if you need anything.” Liberty nodded her head and quickly took off. Once she was gone, Mrs. Lewis wheeled her son ahead and uttered, “Look at what happened to Hank. This is the cost of his affair. Duncan, you must remain true in your marriage and your family if you ever get married and have kids. “I would rather you stay single if you can’t stick to your wife and kids. Don’t go hurting someone else’s daughter.“I don’t have a daughter, but I am a woman. No woman wants to see their man with another woman. A divorce is an option if there is no more love in the marriage. At least, people are free to love and court anyone after the divorce.” Duncan callously said, “I will remain single for the rest of my life, Mom. You don’t have to worry about your son becomi

Liberty could not find the words of comfort to offer. All she could do was help Mrs. Brown to sit on a chair. Liberty pulled out her pack of tissue and gave one to Mrs. Brown to wipe away her tears. Mr. Brown was teary-eyed too. He would turn away from time to time to dry his eyes. Hank was their only son. Mr. and Mrs. Brown did not know what to do if anything were to happen to him. It took a while before Mrs. Brown ceased the wailing. Nevertheless, she was too emotional to speak. Liberty turned to Mr. Brown and asked with concern, “How is Hank, Mr. Brown?” Mr. Brown choked with sobs. “He’s still in surgery. The doctors have not left the emergency room. I only saw other doctors going inside with bags and bags of blood. He lost a lot of blood…” The thought of his son’s dire condition brought tears to Mr. Brown’s eyes once more. Mr. Brown could not believe that Jessica would stab his son repeatedly. If they had not heard the commotion in Hank’s bedroom and entered the

After giving Mr. Brown a piece of her mind, Mrs. Brown tearfully said to Liberty, “Liberty, bring Sonny here. Hank adores the child. That’s his only child. Hank might pull through with Sonny here, knowing that his son misses him.” Liberty offered Mrs. Brown some words of comfort. “Seren and Elisa went to the farmer’s market today. Sonny must have gone back with her to my hometown. I’ll call Seren and ask when they will be back.” Liberty did not say no to her ex-mother-in-law’s request. It did not matter whether Hank made it or not. Sonny was Hank’s son, so the boy should be here in the hospital for Hank. Despite the couple’s divorce, Liberty had never once spoken ill of Hank in the presence of her son or taught her son to hate Hank. No matter what, Hank did cover Sonny’s child support. Mrs. Brown nodded her head in tears. She had a bad feeling that her son might not pull through. Nevertheless, Mrs. Brown continued to pray for her son’s safety. Liberty went to a corner a

“Are you Hank Brown’s family?” “We are his parents, doctor. How is my son?” asked Mr. Brown anxiously as he propped his wife, who was weak in the knees, up toward the doctor. The doctor replied, “The patient has sustained severe injuries. The surgery is successful, but he’s not out of the woods yet. We need to transfer him to the ICU for a while. It’s in his hands whether he will regain consciousness now.” Mrs. Brown’s body went limp. Unable to hold Mrs. Brown up, Mr. Brown worked together with Liberty to stop Mrs. Brown from falling. “Save my son, doctor! Please save my son! He’s my only son. He’s young…” Mrs. Brown grabbed the doctor’s lab coat and pleaded in tears. “Mrs. Brown.” Liberty pulled Mrs. Brown’s hands back before apologizing and thanking the doctor. Showing an understanding of the family’s predicament, the doctor replied, “We have done all we can. We can’t be certain whether the patient will pull through, but please prepare yourselves for the worst.” I

Jessica was taken away by the police. She was supposed to face jail time, but she could serve her sentence out of prison with an ankle monitor because she was pregnant. Now that Jessica lost the baby and was involved in an armed assault with the intent to kill, the charges would only pile on. In the event Hank did not make it out alive, Jessica might not escape the death penalty following a retrial and the new charges. Liberty wanted to meet with Duncan and his mother at the entrance of the in-patient department, but Mrs. Lewis called and told her that they had returned to the ward. Hence, she made her way toward Duncan’s private ward. “You’re here, at last, Ms. Liberty. Mr. Duncan threw another fit. He’s smashing whatever things he can reach.” The Lewises’ bodyguard immediately informed Liberty of Duncan’s tantrum upon her arrival. “Why did he lose his temper again?” Liberty asked while entering the ward. The bodyguard answered, “We aren’t too sure. Mrs. Lewis brought Mr

Duncan immediately hurried Liberty to handle the discharge paperwork. The doctor whined in his head, ‘The doctors and nurses have enough of your daily fuss anyway. The early discharge is not a big deal, so you can leave if you want to.’ The Lewises were wealthy, and they had their family doctors. The Lewis family would hire specialized care for Duncan when he got out of the hospital. “Doctor, is my son fine to be discharged?” Mrs. Lewis was worried that her son’s condition may worsen after the discharge. “Mr. Lewis can be released from the hospital if he wants to. He might feel better recuperating at home. The speed of recovery is linked to the patient’s moods too.” Since the doctor said so, Mrs. Lewis told the bodyguards to pack up while she and her husband went to deal with the paperwork for Duncan’s hospital release. Duncan, the tantrum thrower, was left in Liberty’s care. Now that he could get out of the hospital, Duncan felt merry and quit whining. He sat in the liv

Zachary looked at Liberty and only started congratulating Duncan after seeing Liberty nodding her head in approval.“Congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital, Duncan. I came just at the right time to give you a ride home.”Duncan replied, “Now that I don’t need to be on an IV anymore, it doesn’t really matter where I lie down. Besides, I think my mood will improve if I get to rest at home instead of this rotten place.”He would never ever want to be hospitalized again if possible.“Feeling better now, Dunc?”Concerned, Sonny asked while walking over to Duncan.“I can finally be discharged from the hospital today.”Duncan pulled Sonny closer and picked him up. He wanted to sit Sonny down on his lap, but Sonny struggled to get down. The little guy said sensibly, “Your leg could hurt, Dunc. I can’t sit on your lap.”Liberty once mentioned that Duncan injured his legs and needed time to heal, so it would be best not to sit on his lap.Sonny remembered it we

“It’ll be fine.”Zachary encouraged Duncan. “You’re a strong and confident person. Believe in yourself, Duncan. As long as you keep up with your rehabilitation, you will definitely recover. The doctor said your chances of recovery are high.”Duncan remained silent. The doctor said that there were chances of recovery, but he did not mention the certainty of Duncan’s full recovery.“Hang in there, Dunc!”Sonny could understand the ongoing conversation well. He waved abruptly at Duncan to cheer him up.Duncan patted Sonny’s head affectionately.Zachary said, “Liberty took over a restaurant and it’s currently being renovated. It’ll be back to normal soon as it is a simple renovation. Look how hard she’s working. You better not give up so easily.”“Is All You Can Eat closing?”Liberty had never talked about her business with Duncan before, nor had he ever asked.He thought it was impossible for him and Liberty to be together unless he could fully recover. Otherwise, he would never
