“Sonny.”
Zack carried Sonny over.
Sonny did not resist his embrace when he was awake.
The person he trusted most at the moment besides his Aunt Ser was his Uncle Zak.
“Sonny, don’t be scared. I’ve defeated the bad guys, the police have also taken them away, and the doctor saved your mom. Tomorrow or the day after at the latest, your mom will come out and open her eyes to call you.”
Sonny looked seriously at Zack and asked, “Uncle Zak, is what you say true?”
“When have I ever lied to you, Sonny? It’s true.”
Zack carried Sonny and walked toward the bathroom. “Sonny, I’ll take you to wash your face and hands, okay?”
Sonny nodded because he saw that his hands were dirty.
With that, Zack took Sonny into the bathroom to clean his face and hands before coming out again.
His bodyguard happened to have returned with fast food.
Serena had no appetite to eat. She fed Sonny first, but he had also lost his appetite.
Zack advised them again, “Seren, Sonny, how can you hold up if you don’t eat anything? When Liberty wakes up but you both collapsed, wouldn’t she be worried? Sonny, come, I’ll feed you. Once you’re full, you’ll take a shower, change into clean clothes, and wait for your mom to wake up.
“If she wakes up and sees what you’re wearing now, she’ll be terrified.”
Sonny looked down at his clothes. They were very dirty indeed.
They were also covered in blood.
Sonny was easily coaxed. He was successfully coaxed by Zack and was willing to eat.
Serena forced herself to eat something. In Zack’s words, she would not be able to hold up if she did not eat and drink. If she were to collapse before her sister woke up, how could she take care of her sister?
Half an hour later, Zack’s driver brought the RV over.
Zack let Serena take Sonny to shower and change into clean clothes.
He called Josh only after Serena left.
“Josh, how’s it going?”
“Mrs. Newman was taken away for investigation, but not Mr. Newman.”
Josh said regrettably, “Mr. Newman happened to go on a business trip this morning and is currently not in Wiltspoon.”
Zack had long guessed this outcome.
“The rest was caught, and the man who stabbed your sister–in–law a few times was also sent to the hospital and is under police surveillance.”
That man was seriously beaten up by the Yorks‘ bodyguards.
He was wounded.
“Has your sister–in–law woken up yet?”
“Not yet.”
Josh added after a moment of silence, “Comfort your wife and explain this matter clearly to her so that she doesn’t misunderstand you.”
“I know.”
“Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.”
Zack thanked Josh.
The sky was getting dark outside.
It was almost nighttime.
Duncan came again.
“Zack.”
Duncan walked over and called out in a low voice, and then he looked toward the ward and asked,
“Has Liberty not woken up yet?”
Zack shook his head.
Duncan looked worried.
He retracted his gaze after a long time and reached out to carry Sonny out of Serena’s arms, but Sonny did not want to be carried by him.
Sonny turned his head and lay on Serena’s shoulder.
Duncan looked gloomy. He felt that even Sonny was blaming him for not protecting Liberty well.
“Sonny is frightened and only clings to his Aunt Ser now,” Zack explained.
Duncan pursed his lips and responded, “It’s okay, I don’t blame him. Zack, I’ll watch over Liberty here. You should take Serena and Sonny back to rest for a while.”
Zack said after some thought, “Okay.”
He persuaded Serena and Sonny to go rest in the RV with him. He would come back to keep watch over his sister–in–law for the second half of the night.
Zack was at ease now that Duncan was here.
Besides, his bodyguards were present as well.
“Serena, you can hold on, but Sonny is a child and won’t be able to do the same, so you should think for him. He’s the child your sister was desperately trying to protect. You have to take good care of him so that she feels assured and wakes up.”
Duncan persuaded Serena to get some rest.
Serena looked at her nephew again.
Sonny was clinging to her very much at the moment.
At last, Serena compromised for the sake of Sonny. She went to rest in the RV first and set an alarm so that she could come and watch over her sister for the second half of the night.
Meanwhile, at the Browns‘ house.
“How could it be Jessica? How could it be?”
Hank, who was dragged home by his parents, had been mumbling and saying the same thing for hours.
He was in disbelief, and he refused to believe it.
How could Jessica lay hands on Sonny?
Jessica witnessed the whole process of his divorce from Liberty. It was also she who advised him to give up Sonny’s custody at that time, and he listened to her.
Although Hank’s mom and sister kept asking him to divorce Jessica and remarry Liberty, he did not do that.
Did he not make a firm decision to hold a wedding with Jessica?
They also agreed to go on a honeymoon after their wedding. They had decided on a location and had even booked the hotel.
Jessica should not do anything to Sonny at this time.
