Chapter 1775

Author: Gu Lingfei
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

    Zachary sighed and said, “Won’t you do your best in rehab and recover as soon as possible, for my sister-in-law’s sake? Are you really willing to watch her be taken away by another man?“If you really think that way, then I’ll tell my nana and have her introduce some good men suitable for Liberty to meet. If sparks fly, as Liberty’s family, Seren and I will make sure she gets married off grandly.”Duncan was pale around the gills.He cared about Liberty, very much so.When Hank had an accident and his life was in danger, Duncan was jealous knowing Liberty went to visit him. He made a fuss and demanded to be discharged early, just so that Liberty would not have to visit her ex-husband every day.Grandma May once said that there were a few outstanding men who were suitable for Liberty. If Duncan could really let go, Grandma May would have introduced Liberty to someone new.“Duncan, if you give up on something you haven't even tried yet, then you won't have any hope of succeeding.”

    Even Corey dared not do anything to Liberty, let alone the relatives. They were not fools.They would not incite arguments like Chelsea. Moreover, Liberty had the backing of the York and Stone families. The Wiltspoonians knew how much Serenity cared about her sister. Serenity would fight anyone who dared harm Liberty. If Serenity wanted to fight, Zachary would not sit still either. “I’m not my past self. I won’t get bullied.“Now that I think about it, I don’t know why I was so stupid back then. I was a housewife whose world revolved around my husband and baby. Even so, I was mistreated.”Liberty did not take care of her health as well. She let herself overeat to the point her weight became unhealthy. At that time, she thought she could afford to gain some weight since she was already married and had given birth. She also stopped dressing up. After the divorce, Liberty realized that women, especially married women, should love themselves. How could a woman expect oth

    “You must come pick me up with Mom, Dunc. Okay?”“Of course.”Duncan could not bear leaving Sonny. He was already missing Sonny even though the little man was still right before him. Sonny slid down and returned to Hank’s side. Hank held his hand. He was about to say something to Duncan but ultimately decided against it. “Sonny and I shall head up now. His grandparents are waiting for him.”Liberty hummed in approval.She and Duncan stood and watched Hank walk away with Sonny. Sonny kept looking back and waving at them. Duncan tried his best to restrain himself from running forward to hug Sonny. He kept chanting mentally, ‘Hank is Sonny’s biological dad.’Letting the father and son reunite once in a while was perfectly normal. As a stepfather, he could not stop Hank and Sonny from hanging out together. Luckily, it was only for two days. Duncan was thankful that Liberty had brought Sonny to FC Manor right after winter vacation started instead of letting the Browns t

    “Dad.”Sonny ran toward Hank when he spotted his father. Hank stepped forward and bent over to lift his son. He then kissed Sonny’s cheeks several times and rubbed his face against Sonny’s. They seemed close.Indeed, Hank had been treating Sonny well. Liberty only pushed Duncan over after Hank and Sonny were done.Hank’s gaze landed on Liberty’s face. She had a rosy complexion and charming eyes. Her expression was gentle, and she had a slight smile. However, it was not because she was being friendly toward Hank. She was simply in a good mood because she and Duncan finally got married and just had their wedding night. “Sorry for making you bring Sonny over, Liberty.”They initially agreed on having Liberty drop Sonny off at the neighborhood’s entrance, where he should have been waiting. However, he missed the timing because he was quarreling with Chelsea. Liberty had no choice but to bring Sonny inside. Hank knew she did not really want to return to the neighborhood, h

    Liberty’s old neighbors even told her how terrible life had been for the Brown family for the past two years. A lady who used to be close to Liberty and Serenity pulled Liberty’s hand. She said, “The Brown family is unfortunate. Your living a better life than them is the best revenge.”Liberty smiled. “I don’t want to get revenge. I just want to live my own life. Whether they’re doing well or not doesn’t concern me.”“Of course. You’re kind and generous. There’s no need to stoop down to their level.”The lady caressed Sonny’s face. “Sonny has grown so much. He’s in preschool now, right? Getting more handsome as he grows. He looks just like you, Liberty.”“Hello,” Sonny greeted the lady. She smiled. “What a good boy.”Sonny had always been an obedient child as she recalled. The residents loved to tease the boy whenever Liberty or Serenity brought him out to play. What was the Brown family thinking? How could they not love such an adorable kid?Mr. and Mrs. Brown would rather

    Sonny nodded. “I know, Mom. I’ll tell Dad to hide the box so Aunt Chel can’t find it. Why does Aunt Chel like taking stuff from Dad’s house?“Lucas used to take my toys too. I even cried. Grandmom said Lucas would return my toy after some time, but he never did.”Although Sonny was only two years old two years ago, he still remembered how his grandmom sided with Lucas. “About Chelsea… That’s something for the adults to think about. You’re still young. Don’t pay any mind to it.”Chelsea’s parents were to blame for her selfish behavior and habit of leeching off her family. Hank also played a part by allowing his parents to spoil his sister. Even he helped her out a lot in the past. Whenever Chelsea visited, he would get Liberty to prepare whatever dishes Chelsea wanted to eat, no matter how expensive they were. He also specifically asked for large portions to be made so that Chelsea could have her fill. Chelsea loved seafood. Her favorites were pricey ones like lobsters and crab

    “Dunc picked me up. He’ll take me to Dad’s place afterward.“Are you feeling unwell, Mom?”Sonny got up and touched Liberty’s forehead, then his own. He even stuck their foreheads together. His mother and Aunt Ser always did the same thing whenever he felt sick. He simply copied what they did.“I’m fine.”Liberty could not tell Sonny that her waist and legs were sore. Instead, she glared at Duncan, who was sitting at the bedside. It was all his fault. He was insatiable. Duncan smiled apologetically. He could not help but indulge himself once he got a taste of pleasure after being single for so long. Liberty was the victim of his hunger. “Then why did you wake up this late? It’s already eleven. I wanted to wake you up, but Dunc didn’t let me. He said you were tired and that I should let you rest,” said Sonny.Liberty lied. “I was on an extended business trip and worked night and day. The things I had to do were endless. I’m too tired. Now that I’m finally on vacatio

    Liberty smiled. “Not yet. Maybe you can continue sleeping in the car until the sun rises.“We’re home. Let’s get out of the car. Even if you’re sleepy, you should still take a bath first. The year is ending in a few days. The weather isn’t that cold now. I checked the weather forecast. It says it’ll rain a little on New Year’s Day, so the temperature might drop slightly.”Duncan sat up and touched his forehead. Indeed, there was some sweat. “It really isn’t cold. I’m even sweating.”Liberty did not turn on the car’s air conditioning. In that weather, it would be cold if the air conditioning was turned on and hot if it was turned off. Thanks to the wind, it was still cooling when the car was moving. However, once the car stopped, it became stuffy inside. Liberty got out of the car and went to the passenger seat to help Duncan. Duncan declined her help and insisted on doing it himself. Then, he held her hand and walked into the house slowly. After heading upstairs, he belatedl

    Liberty did have a fatty liver back then. However, that was resolved after she lost weight. Indeed, having an unhealthy weight could bring about health issues. Purchasing plus-sized clothes was also a problem. Once she started maintaining a healthy weight, she looked fantastic in whatever she wore and often received compliments for having a great figure when shopping for clothes. Most people marveled at her healthy and youthful complexion. She did not look like she was already in her thirties with a four-year-old son. “Do you want to take a nap? There’s heavy traffic ahead.”Liberty saw a stretch of road highlighted in red on the navigation app, signaling slow traffic. “Aren’t most people on holiday and traveling? Why is the traffic still congested?”Duncan muttered, “Maybe there was a car accident.“I don’t need a nap. I’m energetic now. I won’t be able to fall asleep.”He was extremely excited. “If you think I’m too talkative, you can play some music. We can liste

    Since Audrey would take care of Sonny, Liberty and Duncan were in a good mood as they exited the Stones’ residence. Duncan’s bodyguards were to return home instead of following him around. He had Liberty anyway. Besides, it was his and Liberty’s wedding night. They even left Sonny with the Stones, so there was no way he would be letting his bodyguards follow him home. Liberty was the one who drove as Duncan’s legs were still recovering. She would glance at him from time to time. She said, “You’ve been staring at me the entire night. Haven’t you seen enough?“It’s not our first time meeting each other. What’s there to look at?”“You’re beautiful. You’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.”Duncan was particularly generous with sweet words that night. To him, his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world. “I can’t get enough of watching you. I controlled myself in Aunt Audrey’s house because I didn’t want her to laugh at me. Now that there’s only the two of us,
