Serena did not go into detail because she felt that it was Callum and Camryn’s private matter. Her brother-in-law told her about it because he trusted her, so she could not tell anyone else about it. She did not tell Zack lest Camryn felt embarrassed to see him in the future.
Even though she did not go into detail, Zack was a man who had also forced a kiss on Serena before, so he quickly guessed what happened.
He wisely did not continue to inquire.
While the couple had lunch, Duncan went to the hospital after work. He stood outside the door of Liberty’s ward for a long time but did not go in.
Zack’s bodyguard asked, “Are you going in, Mr. Lewis?”
Duncan quickly said, “Never mind. I just came to take a look. Is Liberty better?”
The bodyguard replied, “Ms. Hunt is recovering well and can get out of bed to walk around now. She’s looking forward to being discharged. Sonny and she are eating inside now.”
Liberty and Sonny’s three meals were sent over by Sam daily. They were all prepared according to the nutritionist’s recipes, which were conducive to Liberty’s recovery.
Audrey also sent tonic soup from time to time.
Olivia tried sending soup too, but she returned with an untouched bowl every time.
The Brown family did not show themselves today.
“Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Keep watch and don’t let strangers in,” Duncan instructed before turning away.
The bodyguard was confused. Duncan came all the way but did not go into the ward and did not let Liberty know that he had been here.
Duncan met his mother when he was rounding the corner.
“Duncan,” Mrs. Lewis saw him first and called out.
Duncan looked at his mother. “Mom, what are you doing here?”
“If you can be here, why can’t I? A friend of mine was also hospitalized, so I came to see her. Are you here to see Liberty?”
Mrs. Lewis’s words were filled with displeasure.
She already said that she would not accept Liberty as her daughter-in-law, but her son kept running to Liberty.
Duncan hummed and asked, “Which friend of yours was hospitalized?”
“Hannah is sick. Duncan, I told you last time that you and Liberty are not suitable. Stop coming to see her. She doesn’t even like you. Why are you showering an uninterested party with affection? Isn’t Lily good enough? Lily and you are the perfect match.”
Mrs. Lewis could not help but nag her son.
Duncan said in a low voice, “Mom, I told you that I’m in charge of my marriage. You’re here to visit Hannah, right? Go on. I’m leaving now.”
Then, he walked past his mother and left.
Mrs. Lewis did not stop him and turned around to watch his figure saunter away.
“It’s not like you can’t get a wife, but you insist on liking a divorced woman. Furthermore, she doesn’t even like you and only thinks of you as her landlord. Why are you still clinging to her?” Mrs. Lewis grumbled about her son.
Mrs. Lewis thought about it and decided to see Liberty before visiting her friend.
With that in mind, she went to Liberty’s ward.
When the York bodyguards saw Mrs. Lewis coming, one of them went into the ward to tell Liberty.
The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis when she approached. They helped her knock on the door and opened the door for her.
“Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lane and another maid were dining in the small lounge. When they saw Mrs. Lewis come in, they quickly put down their lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.
“Oh, you’re all eating? Don’t mind me and continue eating. I just came to see Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis left the house after eating.
Mrs. Lane still escorted her into the ward.
Liberty finished eating, but Sonny ate slowly. His mother fed him while saying, “Sonny, you can’t eat so slowly in the future. You’ll have to eat by yourself when you go to preschool.”
“I know, Mom.”
Seeing Mrs. Lewis come in, Liberty passed the bowl to her son to let him eat by himself and was just about to get out of bed.
“Sit, Liberty. You’re still injured. Just sit.”
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly stepped forward to press Liberty down and stop her from getting out of bed. She did not like Liberty as her daughter-in-law mainly because she felt that Liberty’s background was not worthy of the Lewis family. Furthermore, Liberty was divorced and a single mother of a three-year-old child.
However, she was very moved by how Liberty risked her life to save her son.
“I’m much better now, Mrs. Lewis. I’ve recovered enough to be able to move freely. I’ll be fine as long as I don’t touch the wound.”
The first two days, her wound hurt so much that she could not sleep well.
It was much better these days.
“Have you eaten, Mrs. Lewis?”
“I have. I have a friend who was also hospitalized and happened to be on the same floor as you, so I stopped by to see you,” Mrs. Lewis explained. Her eyes sized Liberty up before lingering on her face.
She said in a tender voice, “You look much better now. When did the doctor say you could leave the hospital?”
“I can be discharged after another week.”
Mrs. Lewis hummed.
“Duncan came over earlier.”
Mrs. Lewis probed, “How long did he stay before leaving? I saw him just as he was leaving. He’s so busy with his work…”
Liberty was stunned. “Mr. Lewis came over? I didn’t see him.”
Mrs. Lewis was stunned in return. “You didn’t see him? Didn’t he come here to visit you?”
“I didn’t see him. Was he here to visit someone else? Maybe the other person’s ward happens to be on this floor too.” Liberty added honestly, “Mr. Lewis is very busy, so he doesn’t come here often. Are you sure you saw him, Mrs. Lewis?”
After saying that, she smiled sheepishly and said, “What am I saying? Mr. Lewis is your son. There’s no way you would’ve mistaken someone else for him.”
Mrs. Lewis believed Liberty when she saw that Liberty did not seem to be lying.
She said, “Maybe he also came to visit a friend like I did. I thought he came here to see you. If he had just left, that means he came over before lunch break. He’s a very busy man, and you’re recovering well, so he doesn’t need to come see you every day. It won’t be good for him if work gets delayed.
“The business deals he works on are worth a lot of money and can’t be held up.”
Liberty was not a fool and knew what Mrs. Lewis meant. She said, “Yes, Mr. Lewis’s time is precious. He makes a fortune every minute, but interpersonal relationships also need to be handled well. I think Mr. Lewis came to the hospital early before lunch break to visit an important client or friend.
“Mr. Lewis has never come to my ward. I haven’t seen him again after that time he visited with
Ms. Harmon.”
Mrs. Lewis saw that there were no freshly delivered flower bouquets or fruit baskets in the ward and completely believed Liberty’s words.
She thought, ‘Did that boy really not come to see Liberty? But he admitted that he was here to visit her.’
However, Liberty said that she did not see him.
There was only one possibility-her son came but did not enter the ward.
That was why Liberty did not see him.
