Liberty didn’t check the news; she woke up early and felt the urge to do something, but found nothing to occupy her at Serenity’s house. There were maids around, but she could only stroll around the yard a few times. When it got bright, she noticed Sonny being taken to class by Jim. After speaking with the butler, she decided to leave the hilltop villa without waiting for Serenity and Zachary to wake up.
Liberty headed to Wiltspoon People’s Hospital. Upon arriving at Duncan’s ward, she knocked on the door. Mr. Lewis soon came to open it and, upon seeing Liberty holding a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruit, quickly took the basket from her.
“Miss Hunt, come in quickly to see Duncan,” Mr. Lewis said, his demeanor warm towards her.
Liberty entered the ward and gently asked, “Is Mr. Lewis awake?”
“Not yet. He fell asleep very late last night,” Mr. Lewis replied.
Last night, after everyone had left, Duncan had inquired about his injuries, learning that his legs were severely hurt. He woke up feeling the most pain in his legs. Although his leg had been saved, the recovery process would be lengthy, and he would need to use a wheelchair for an extended period. If he couldn’t commit to rehabilitation, he might end up in a wheelchair for life.
While Mr. and Mrs. Lewis didn’t voice these concerns, they were aware of the gravity of Duncan’s condition, as he had asked the doctor for details about his situation. After that, Duncan seemed to struggle, which alarmed Mr. and Mrs. Lewis. Thankfully, he settled down and was able to wake up again. Mr. Lewis worried that his son might become agitated when he awakened. With Liberty visiting Duncan at this crucial time, Mr. Lewis viewed her as a beacon of hope.
When Liberty woke up and saw his son, his mood would improve.
