“No, Sonny’s tuition is not a problem. The money that Hank gave me back then is enough for Sonny to go to school. I still have income every day, so it’s not a matter of lack of money.” Liberty looked outside, Seeing Jasmine teasing Sonny, she went on to say: “Mrs. Lewis came to see me just now.”
Hearing this, Serena frowned, “What is she looking for you for? She told you to take Sonny and leave Wiltspoon again, Right?”
Duncan didn’t want to see Liberty now, since Mrs. Lewis had a criminal record, Serena’s first thought was that Mrs. Lewis wanted Liberty to leave Wiltspoon with her son because Duncan didn’t want to see Liberty.
“She asked me to go to the hospital to take care of Mr. Lewis. After Mr. Lewis was discharged from the hospital and he could do rehabilitation, she also asked me to accompany Mr. Lewis to do his rehabilitation. She gave me $300,000 a month. I said she gave too much money. Mr. Lewis has helped me so much, I regard him as a friend, and I also hope that he can recover.
Mrs. Lewis insisted on giving me the money, and said that if I disagreed with $300,000 a month, she would add more. I don’t care if the money is not. I want to ask for your opinion. Serena, do you think I should pay more? Don’t you want to take care of Mr. Lewis?
I also told Mrs. Lewis that even if I agreed to her, it has nothing to do with feelings. I never thought about marrying Mr. Lewis, but simply hoped that he would get better. But if I really…Will taking care of him make him sink deeper and deeper?
He doesn’t want to see me now, so I’m going, will he accept it?”
Serena didn’t know how to answer the question for a while.
After thinking about it, she said to Liberty: “Mrs. Lewis will come to find you to take care of Mr. Lewis. I have already guessed that Mr. Lewis likes you so much. Mrs. Lewis feels distressed and anxious about his current state. Now you’ve to go and motivate Mr. Lewis.”
Liberty: “Sister, I’ll go if you want, and if you refuse, I don’t want to go. If I go, I can’t say that Mr. Lewis will get deeper and deeper. Sister, can you keep your heart? I feel that my conscience is uneasy.”
Being together day and night was the easiest way to express feelings.
Liberty was silent.
After a long while, Liberty said: “After I finish my business in the store every day, I will go to the hospital to take care of Mr. Lewis. I won’t stay in the hospital all day. I don’t want the compensation that Mrs. Lewis gave me. In my words, I don’t want money. If I go, I always feel that my conscience is not at ease.”
When she had an accident, Duncan stayed up all night, guarding outside her ward, waiting for her to wake up.
Every day Duncan had time to visit her in the hospital.
Let’s not talk about these, just say that Duncan also helped her a lot in the past.
She took care of Duncan for free, and it was considered as a favor owed to him.
As for the emotional matter, if she didn’t talk about it, Duncan won’t talk about it now. Before it arrived, who knew how it would develop?
“In that case, sister, you will be very tired.” Serena felt sorry for her sister.
“I’ll go home and rest in the afternoon.” Liberty reassured Serena, “I won’t let myself collapse from exhaustion. What you say, how you think, I don’t need to care about it, as long as I have a clear conscience.”
When Liberty said it, Serena knew that Liberty had made a decision.
No matter what decision Liberty made, Serena would support Liberty.
With the support of Serena, Liberty no longer struggled, and decided to go to the hospital to take care of Duncan when she was free, encourage Duncan, and not ask Mrs. Lewis to pay for it.
Turning around, Liberty found a bag of pig bones she bought from several bags, and was going to wash them and use them to make bone soup.
“I’ll reply to Mrs. Lewis first.” Liberty remembered that she wanted to reply to Mrs. Lewis, stopped what she was doing, took out her mobile phone and called Mrs. Lewis, and told Mrs. Lewis her decision.
Mrs. Lewis thanked her a lot and insisted on paying her.
Liberty thought that if she would not accept Mrs. Lewis’s money then, Mrs. Lewis would have nothing to do with her.
After making a decision, Liberty was busy preparing lunch.
When it was time to get off work at noon, Liberty had already prepared lunch.
“Serena, Mrs. Lewis will receive soup first, and Sonny will stay with you.”
Liberty came out of the kitchen carrying the insulated lunch box, “The food is ready, put it in the pot, and you and Jasmine will have dinner after you finish your work.”
“Sister, have you eaten yet?” Serena asked with concern.
The bookstore had not been busy recently. Summer vacation was coming soon. A few days before the summer vacation, students needed to buy summer homework. There were many people, so it would be busy.
“I ate some.” Liberty replied as she walked out.
“Mom, I’m going too.” Seeing that his mother was leaving, Sonny yelled, and he followed her.
“Sonny, you haven’t eaten yet, don’t go, after eating, your aunt will take you there.” Liberty said.
Serena came out, hugged Sonny, and prevented Sonny from following.
Sonny was a little wronged, but he was coaxed by his aunt.
….
In the hospital, Duncan still didn’t want to eat. He knocked all the lunch delivered by Mrs. Lewis herself on the ground.
Elder Young Mistress Lewis was startled by her brother-in-law’s rough action and took a few steps back so that her clothes would not be stained by the overturned food.
“Duncan.” Mrs. Lewis shouted, “Why overthrow them all if you do not wish to eat? Your parents have not yet eaten up food.”
Duncan’s temper had recently been getting progressively worse.
Although her brother-in-law, Duncan didn’t eat by himself and even knocked over the food, Elder Young Mistress Lewis understood and felt bad for Duncan. As a result, neither she nor her in-laws had to eat.
“Since your accident, look at what your parents have become. Your parents have stayed up day and night to take care of you personally. You have suffered from severe dark circles, your hair is all white, and you are emaciated. You only care about yourself. Why don’t you see everyone worrying about you?”
“If you look like this, not only will you not be able to recover, but it will also make everyone who cares about you sad.”
Duncan had just started junior high school when Elder Young Mistress Lewis married into the Lewis family; as a result, she loved and cared for Duncan a lot, and Duncan always respected his elder sister-in-law.
Considering Duncan’s mood, others were reluctant to scold her, so the Elder young mistress Lewis couldn’t help but scold Mrs. Lewis.
Don’t scold Duncan, Duncan is already suffering enough.” Elder Young Mistress Lewis said, “Mom, I know Duncan is suffering, don’t we? We also care about him and his health, and Doctor didn’t even sentence him to death, but he sentenced himself to death first.
Mom, don’t just go after him blindly, but let him get back on his feet.”
Elder Young Mistress Lewis could fully understand how her mother-in-law took care of her brother-in-law every step of the way after the accident for which she took full responsibility.
They could only come to visit every day and bring food.
Sometimes, when they came, her brother-in-law didn’t even want to see them.
Elder Young Mistress Lewis’s husband was the head of the family who had taken over the business of the Lewis family. He was busy with work every day and was also worried about her brother-in-law’s injury. However, her brother-in-law was only immersed in pessimism and didn’t care about his family’s feelings at all.
Mrs. Lewis’s eyes turned red all of a sudden. She choked up and said: “I also want to cheer him up, but he can’t listen to what we say. He lies on the bed every day, and his legs hurt sharply when he moves. It’s normal for him to be irritable. Don’t blame him. Don’t blame him…”
“Mom.” Elder Young Mistress Lewis brought a tissue to her mother-in-law, sighed, “I didn’t blame him, I just wanted to wake him up.”
Mrs. Lewis said after wiping away her tears: “In order to cheer Duncan up, I went to Liberty and asked Liberty to take care of Duncan. Duncan likes her so much, so she came to take care of Duncan. I think Duncan will cheer up for her.”
Elder Young Mistress Lewis: “Didn’t Duncan even want to see Liberty?”
