During the search process, I also believe that some young people are quite impressive. If I have granddaughters, I will consider matching one of them with a suitable young man.”
“If you genuinely think you can let go, then I will arrange for Liberty. One of the men is divorced and has no children. He ended his marriage because he was too busy with his business to spend time with his wife, which led to her infidelity and ultimately their divorce.”
“Now that his business is stable and he has time to focus on love, I believe he would be a good match for Liberty. Since he has also experienced divorce, you need not worry about Liberty’s future marriage.”
Upon hearing his grandmother’s words, Duncan’s face turned as pale as paper. He bit his lower lip tightly and remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, Grandma realized that he was unable to let Liberty go. However, given his injury and concern about potentially being wheelchair-bound for life, he had hastily declared his intention to push Liberty away.
What a foolish notion! He hadn’t even embraced Liberty yet, so how could he expect to distance himself from her? He was in no position to dictate Liberty’s future.
After a moment of hesitation, Duncan managed to ask, “Grandma, how old is that man? Even though Liberty has been divorced and has a child, she is still young—in her early thirties. If he is too old, he might not be suitable for her.”
“That man is slightly older than you, perhaps around ten years older than Liberty. He has a lot of life experience,” Grandma replied.
Duncan flushed with anxiety. “Grandma, that’s a bit too old.”
Grandma responded, “Worried, are you? Since you can’t let go of your feelings, focus on your recovery. Take care of your injuries and your legs.”
Duncan remained silent.
Grandma continued, “Duncan, I have faith in you. You will heal, as long as you don’t give up on yourself.”
Duncan…
He remained silent, uncertain if he could withstand the pain of rehabilitation once he was discharged from the hospital.
Grandma said, “Take a good rest; I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Duncan’s mental state was still fragile, and his Grandma couldn’t bring herself to interrupt his much-needed rest.
