Chapter 1471
Mrs. Lewis considered her options and decided to visit Liberty before seeing her friend.
With that in mind, she made her way to Liberty’s ward.
When the York bodyguards noticed Mrs. Lewis approaching, one of them entered the ward to inform Liberty.
The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis as she approached; instead, they assisted her in knocking on the door and opened it for her.
“Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lane and another maid were having lunch in the small lounge. Upon seeing Mrs. Lewis enter, they quickly set down their lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.
“Oh, you’re all eating? Please don’t let me interrupt; continue your meal. I’ve just come to see Liberty.”
After finishing her meal, Mrs. Lewis left the house.
Mrs. Lane accompanied her to the ward.
Liberty had finished eating, but Sonny was still eating slowly. His mother encouraged him, saying, “Sonny, you need to eat faster in the future. You’ll have to feed yourself when you go to preschool.”
“I know, Mom.”
Upon seeing Mrs. Lewis enter, Liberty handed the bowl to her son so he could eat independently and was just about to get out of bed.
“Stay seated, Liberty. You’re still recovering. Just sit down,” Mrs. Lewis urged.
She quickly stepped forward to gently push Liberty back down, concerned for her well-being. Although Mrs. Lewis had reservations about Liberty as her daughter-in-law due to her background and the fact that she was a divorced, single mother of a three-year-old, she was deeply touched by Liberty’s bravery in risking her life to save her son.
“I’m feeling much better now, Mrs. Lewis. I can move around freely, as long as I avoid touching the wound,” Liberty reassured her.
In the first couple of days, the pain from her wound had made it difficult for her to sleep well, but she felt significantly better now.
“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 evaluating Liberty before resting on her face.
In a gentle tone, she said, “You look much better now. When did the doctor say you could be discharged?”
“I can leave after another week.”
Mrs. Lewis hummed thoughtfully.
“Duncan came over earlier.”
Mrs. Lewis inquired, “How long did he stay? I saw him just as he was leaving. He’s so busy with work…”
Liberty was taken aback. “Mr. Lewis came by? I didn’t see him.”
Mrs. Lewis appeared equally surprised. “You didn’t see him? Didn’t he come to visit you?”
“I didn’t see him. Was he visiting someone else? Maybe another patient is on this floor too.” Liberty added candidly, “Mr. Lewis is very busy and doesn’t come here often. Are you sure you saw him, Mrs. Lewis?”
Realizing Liberty seemed sincere, Mrs. Lewis said, “Perhaps he came to visit a friend like I did. I assumed he was here to see you. If he just left, he must have visited before lunch. He’s a very busy man, and since you’re recovering well, he doesn’t need to come every day. It wouldn’t be good for him if his work gets delayed.”
“The business deals he works on are worth a lot of money and can’t be put on hold.”
Liberty understood what Mrs. Lewis meant. She replied, “Yes, Mr. Lewis’s time is valuable. He makes a fortune every minute, but it’s also important to nurture personal relationships.”
I believe Mr. Lewis arrived at the hospital early, prior to the lunch break, to see an important client or friend. “Mr. Lewis has never visited my ward. I haven’t seen him since that time he came with Ms. Harmon.”
