In Chapter 1706 of “Married at First Sight,” Liberty turned around and discovered a bag of pig bones she had purchased. She planned to wash them and use them to make bone soup.
“I’ll reply to Mrs. Lewis first,” Liberty recalled. Remembering her intention to respond, she paused her activities, took out her mobile phone, and called Mrs. Lewis to inform her of her decision.
Mrs. Lewis expressed her gratitude and insisted on compensating Liberty.
Liberty thought that if she refused to accept Mrs. Lewis’s money, it would sever their connection.
After making her decision, Liberty busied herself with preparing lunch.
By noon, when it was time to finish work, Liberty had already completed lunch preparations.
“Serenity, Mrs. Lewis will receive her soup first, and Sonny will stay with you,” Liberty said as she emerged from the kitchen with an insulated lunch box. “The food is ready; just put it in the pot, and you and Jasmine can eat after finishing your work.”
“Sister, have you eaten yet?” Serenity asked, concerned.
The bookstore had been relatively quiet lately. With summer vacation approaching, students needed to buy summer homework, which would make things busier in the days ahead.
“I had a little something,” Liberty replied as she walked out.
“Mom, I’m going too!” Sonny exclaimed as he saw his mother leaving and hurried to follow her.
“Sonny, you haven’t eaten yet. Stay here; after you eat, your aunt will take you,” Liberty said.
Serenity stepped forward, scooped Sonny up, and prevented him from following.
Sonny looked a bit upset, but his aunt managed to soothe him.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Duncan remained reluctant to eat. He knocked the lunch that Mrs. Lewis had personally delivered onto the floor.
Elder Young Mistress Lewis was taken aback by her brother-in-law’s behavior.
She took a few steps back to avoid staining her clothes with the spilled food. “Duncan,” Mrs. Lewis shouted, “Why throw it all away if you don’t want to eat? Your parents haven’t even had their meal yet.” Duncan’s temper had been worsening recently.
Although her brother-in-law Duncan refused to eat and had even knocked over the food, Elder Young Mistress Lewis understood his struggles and felt sympathy for him. Consequently, neither she nor her in-laws had their meal.
“Since your accident, look at what your parents have become. They’ve stayed up day and night to care for you. You’ve developed severe dark circles, your hair has turned white, and you appear emaciated. You only think of yourself. Why can’t you see how worried everyone is about you?”
“If you continue like this, not only will you struggle to recover, but it will also make everyone who cares about you sad.”
Duncan had just started junior high when Elder Young Mistress Lewis married into the Lewis family, which is why she cared for him so much, and Duncan had always respected his sister-in-law. Given Duncan’s mood, others were hesitant to scold him, so Elder Young Mistress Lewis felt compelled to reprimand Mrs. Lewis.
