“Please don’t scold Duncan; he’s already suffering enough,” Elder Young Mistress Lewis said. “Mom, I understand Duncan is in pain, but we care about him and his well-being. The doctor didn’t declare him hopeless; he’s the one who has given up on himself.”
“Mom, instead of criticizing him, let’s help him get back on his feet.”
Elder Young Mistress Lewis fully understood her mother-in-law’s dedication to her brother-in-law after the accident, for which she felt entirely responsible. They could only visit daily and bring food. Sometimes, when they arrived, her brother-in-law didn’t even want to see them.
Elder Young Mistress Lewis’s husband, the head of the family and the one managing the Lewis family business, was busy with work and also concerned about his brother’s injury. Unfortunately, her brother-in-law was consumed by pessimism and indifferent to his family’s feelings.
Suddenly, Mrs. Lewis’s eyes filled with tears. She choked up and said, “I want to uplift him, but he refuses to listen to us. He lies in bed every day, and moving causes him sharp pain in his legs. It’s natural for him to be irritable. Please don’t blame him; don’t blame him…”
“Mom,” Elder Young Mistress Lewis said, handing her mother-in-law a tissue. She sighed, “I’m not blaming him; I just want to help him see the light.”
After wiping her tears, Mrs. Lewis said, “To cheer Duncan up, I spoke to Liberty and asked her to take care of him. Duncan really likes her, so I thought having her around would lift his spirits.”
Elder Young Mistress Lewis replied, “But didn’t Duncan refuse to see Liberty?”
After Duncan’s accident, Liberty had visited the hospital daily, but he turned her away each time. To prevent Liberty from seeing him…
She even utilized her limited knowledge. All the bodyguards were transferred to the hospital, working in three shifts around the clock, guarding the ward door solely to keep Liberty out.
Others were turned away by chance.
“I have to try again,” Mrs. Lewis said, wiping away her tears once more. “I am pinning all my hopes on Liberty.”
Elder Young Mistress Lewis replied, “Mom, Duncan doesn’t want to see Liberty because he doesn’t want to burden her. If Liberty takes care of him, his feelings for her will only deepen. But Liberty doesn’t want to marry again. They will continue to hurt each other, and the situation will only become more complicated.”
Mrs. Lewis choked back her emotions. “I don’t care. I just want Duncan to get better. He has done so much for Liberty. If I ask her, she will definitely agree; I know she is a good person. She just replied to my message and is on her way here now.”
“Even if we don’t invite Liberty to care for Duncan, do you really think he can let her go? He can’t, and since we can’t let go either, we will support him.”
Mrs. Lewis lowered her voice, wary of Duncan overhearing.
“If they spend day and night together, maybe Liberty will fall in love with Duncan. Once he recovers, they could have a wedding. I no longer want to interfere. Children and grandchildren will find their own happiness; it’s their choice whether they are happy or not.”
Although Liberty is divorced, she is five years younger than Duncan, and he has a strong affection for Sonny. If they form a family of three, they would surely be happy.
Of course, if they become a couple, Mrs. Lewis still hopes Liberty will have a child for Sonny.
Before even considering the future, Mrs. Lewis was already thinking about having a baby.
