Mr. Lewis pulled his wife aside to prevent their emotions from influencing how others treated their son. Mrs. Lewis fell into her husband’s arms, tears streaming down her face as regret consumed her. She felt as if her insides were twisted in anguish. If something were to happen to her son, why should she stop him from searching for Liberty? He was 36 years old and knew what he wanted. At her age, she should be enjoying time with her grandchildren at home rather than worrying about her younger son.
Duncan had always managed his affairs independently, yet she still insisted on being involved. What about divorced women? If he liked someone and was willing to marry, why shouldn’t he pursue that happiness? However, like a ghost haunting their lives, her disapproval only worsened their mother-son relationship. The more strained their bond became, the angrier she grew, vowing to prevent him from pursuing Liberty and even threatening him in the process.
She believed it was all her fault for hurting Duncan. Mr. Lewis, though scared and worried, could only hold his wife’s shoulders and comfort her quietly. Suddenly, remembering something important, he pulled out his mobile phone and called their three other sons, urgently informing them, “Come quickly, Duncan was in a car accident.” He relayed the details of the incident to them.
Upon hearing the news, the three Lewis brothers immediately dropped everything and rushed to the accident site. By the time they arrived, Duncan had already been rescued and taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Mr. Lewis and his wife followed closely behind, anxious to be with their son. The three brothers called their parents again, now aware that their younger brother had been in an accident.
They were sent to Wiltspoon People’s Hospital for emergency treatment and rushed there without stopping. Shortly after, Zachary received the news, which was conveyed to him by Josh. The Bucham family was known for being well-informed. Zachary was still anticipating that Duncan would confront him after waking up, as he had previously assisted Liberty by arranging a new rental house for her.
