He might be feeling agitated. Mrs. Lewis, choked with sobs, said, “In a few days, when Duncan’s mood calms down a bit, you can come and see him again, and I will ask him to apologize to you.” Liberty nodded in response. With Mrs. Lewis still in tears, she left quietly. After some time, Mrs. Lewis wiped her tears and composed herself before returning to the ward.
Seeing her husband wanting to reprimand their son while noticing Duncan’s pale face, Mrs. Lewis sighed inwardly, unable to scold him. She walked slowly back to the hospital bed and sat down. After a long silence, she looked at her son with an impassive expression and softly said, “Liberty has left.”
Duncan’s expression remained unchanged, his voice still as cold as ever. “Mom, I don’t want to see her again in the future. And Serenity? I don’t want to see her either, nor either of her sisters.”
Duncan’s sharp tone indicated that if he encountered Serenity, he might not be able to control his feelings. He was worried that she might see through his true intentions.
Mrs. Lewis replied, “Duncan, I really don’t blame Liberty for this. It’s all my fault. If you want to blame or hate someone, hate me. I was the one who caused your car accident.”
Duncan responded arrogantly, “I don’t care; I just don’t want to see Liberty anymore!”
“Alright, if that’s what you want, then you won’t see her. Just try to stay calm and focus on healing,” Mrs. Lewis said, concerned that her son might refuse to follow through with his treatment. She feared he would be confined to a wheelchair for life. At that moment, she would agree to whatever her son wanted. If he didn’t wish to see Liberty, then he wouldn’t. Yet, Mrs. Lewis felt deeply unsettled.
Previously, she did everything she could to keep her son from seeing Liberty, but now she permitted them to meet. However, her son no longer wished to see Liberty again.
