Chapter 1784
Mrs. Brown pressed Sonny’s head against her chest, choking up as she spoke, “Yeah, Daddy will definitely get better. Sonny, daddy loves you very much. He knows you are here to see him, he’ll definitely get better.”Sonny snuggled in his grandmom’s arms. As a young child, he knew that his father loved him, but not as much as his mother did. He lost his trust in his father, who would abandon him just because Jess had a tummy ache.As Hank was lying motionless on the hospital bed, Sonny was sensible enough not to speak his mind.Ring, ring, ring…Liberty’s phone rang.It was a call from Serenity.She walked away to answer the phone.“Are you still in the hospital, Liberty?”“Yeah. I brought Sonny here to visit his father. Also, Mr. Lewis is going to be discharged from the hospital. We'll go back soon.”After Duncan got discharged from the hospital, Liberty thought that she did not need to go to his house and take care of him anymore.Duncan would mainly be in rehabilitation afte

“Liberty, is Mr. Lewis being discharged from the hospital today?”Serenity asked her sister through the phone, “Didn’t you say that it would take a while for him to be discharged from the hospital?”“Mr. Lewis was making a fuss about wanting to be discharged. He did so from the very beginning, but the doctor always advised him against it. I wonder why it’s different today. The doctor said that he was good to go home. The doctor also said that he needs to rest for a while at home before he can start rehab.”Liberty sounded a bit helpless. “Mr. Lewis’s mood is as unpredictable as the weather in June.”Though, she could also understand where he was coming from; she would go crazy too if she had to lie down every day.“Now that there is no need for IV infusion, it’s not a big problem recuperating at home. I think it's better for him to go home. He can go out for a stroll in his wheelchair every day and breathe in some fresh air to improve his mood. I heard that a good mood speeds up recove
Chapter 1786
With the hospital release paperwork all done, Duncan sat in a wheelchair while his bodyguard wheeled him downstairs. Having found out that Duncan was getting discharged, Duncan’s sister-in-law laid aside the matters at hand and hurried over to pick him up. Since there were a lot of people fussing over Duncan, and Duncan was under the bodyguards’ care, Liberty wanted to deal with her own stuff. She told Mrs. Lewis, “Mr. Lewis is getting out of the hospital, and you have a lot of people at home to look after him. I won’t go with you then. My newly acquired restaurant is under renovation now, so I want to check on it.” Mrs. Lewis wanted Liberty to come along to the house as Duncan would hold back a little on the tantrum when Liberty was around. Noticing the weariness across Liberty’s face, Mrs. Lewis felt bad and replied, “We can take care of Duncan, Liberty. Go on with your work, but don’t work too hard. The last few days must have been draining on you.” She took Liberty’s han

“I was thinking that you’d be home since Mr. Lewis is out of the hospital. I could have dinner with you instead of eating on my own at home.” Serenity carried Sonny to the dinner table and grabbed a plate to fill with appetizers. Wiltspoonians enjoyed their appetizers. It was hard to start a meal without an appetizer. Liberty made family favorites. She cooked extra since she had an inkling that Serenity would join her for dinner. “Here’s your appetizer, Sonny. Enjoy.” Serenity then filled a plate for Liberty before getting one for herself. After taking a bite, Serenity sighed with contentment. “Your food is different. The chef at home is good at cooking, but nothing beats my sister’s food.” Liberty responded with a smile, “You can always come over if you like my food.” Serenity craved comfort food after having too much fancy food. “Now that Mr. Lewis is discharged, are you going to carry on caring for him, Liberty?” Serenity asked with concern. “I don’t think so. He

One of the bodyguards courteously asked the stranger. Leaning against the body of the car, the woman pulled out a pack of cigarettes from her handbag and handed a couple to the two bodyguards. The bodyguards refused the offer.The woman did not mind and lit a cigarette for herself before putting the handbag into the car. She then slumped against the car and told the bodyguards amid puffs, “I want to meet with Mrs. York. Tell Serenity that I want to invite her out for supper. I want to have a talk with her.” “May I have your name, miss?” The young and beautiful woman requested to see Mrs. York by name. The bodyguards could guess that she was the woman who had feelings for Mr. York. Otherwise, the woman would not be here to talk with Mrs. York. “My last name is Daniels.” The woman in red was none other than Jenna Daniels. Jenna fell in love with Zachary at first sight. However, her father’s scolding seemed to get through to her as it had been a while since she showed her fa

Serenity and Jenna sized each other up. While the people of Wiltspoon knew that Serenity was Mrs. York, not many remembered what Serenity looked like. She rarely made press appearances as Zachary shielded her well. Any viral news about her was soon taken down. Zachary knew that his beloved wife preferred a peaceful life, but because of him, Serenity had to socialize. Still, Zachary tried his best not to interfere too much with her routine. Jenna had searched for Serenity’s photo online, and the only photos that came up in the search result were either blurry or only of Serenity’s side profile. It was only now that Jenna could admire Mrs. York’s stunning looks. Jenna was pretty too, but now that she met Serenity in person, Jenna had to admit that Serenity was a sight to behold and no less than her. She had a polished class, and that was one of the things she was proud of. Still, it was not a quality she could win Serenity with. Serenity carried herself with natural grace. It
Chapter 1790
It was only a little over nine o’clock right now. Jenna usually shadowed his father, so the father and daughter often worked until late at night before they could get home. Their weekends were filled with work too. With a sweet smile, Serenity answered, “My husband is a model husband. He would return home around half-past nine at night if I was not with him. He said no work is more important than me. He doesn’t want me to wait for him until late, so he would try and get off work early to spend time with me.” Jenna found the smile on Serenity’s face an eyesore, and the mushy response only fueled her anger. All Jenna wanted was to breathe fire and burn Serenity to the ground. It was a good thing she had ventured into the business world with her father and learned to keep her composure. Jenna held her anger back, not revealing any discontent on her face. “You have a good relationship with Mr. York, Ms. Hunt.” Serenity replied with a smile, “Yes. My husband really spoils me. I

Jenna noted Serenity’s mobile number. In case Serenity gave her a fake number, Jenna called the number in front of her. Serenity pulled out her phone to show the incoming call. She then hung up and said with a smile, “I should get going then, Ms. Hunt. See you next time.” “Goodbye.” Serenity waited until Jenna got into the car and waved at her before saying, “Please park your car in a designated parking spot on your next visit. Don’t park at random places. “I’m nice and tolerant not to make a fuss even though you kept my car from entering the house tonight. However, your sports car will be wrecked if you come in my husband’s way.” Jenna responded, “My bad. I’ll remember that. I’m sorry.” Serenity replied with a grin, “I said that I’m nice and tolerant, so I won’t be mad at your first parking offense. Bye now, Ms. Daniels.” Jenna waved goodbye and drove off. Once her rival’s car was gone, Serenity wiped the smile off her face and turned to Sam, who was walking out of th
