Married at First Sight Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408

Duncan fell silent.

Upon seeing Liberty, Grandma May instructed her daughters-in-law to head home first to avoid disturbing Liberty.

Zachary and Serenity also appeared extremely fatigued.

The Stones and the Soxes visited Liberty after learning she was out of danger.

Mrs. Stone remained at the hospital until Liberty woke up for the second time, at which point she finally felt a sense of relief.

The Yorks’ bodyguards brought breakfast for everyone.

After they had breakfast, Zachary said to Duncan, “Duncan, you should go home and rest. We agreed to take turns keeping watch last night, but you stayed up the entire night.”

“I’m fine. I’m neither sleepy nor tired. I can wait a little longer,” Duncan replied.

He watched Liberty, who was surrounded by her family and friends.

When Liberty woke up for the second time, she spoke softly but appeared to be in better spirits than during her initial awakening.

She did not even notice Duncan standing at the edge of the crowd.

Duncan gazed at her in a daze. Even though Liberty couldn’t see him, he was tall enough to observe her from a distance. He was simply grateful to see her awake and did not feel tired at all.

Ring, ring, ring…

At that moment, Duncan’s phone rang.

He stepped out of the ward to answer the call, concerned about disturbing Liberty.

It was his mother.

“Duncan.”

Mrs. Lewis asked directly, “Are you at the hospital?”

The events of the previous day had caused quite a stir.

Numerous people had been arrested by the police.

Many were saying that nearly all of the police in Wiltspoon had been deployed due to the number of arrests.

After learning that a child was nearly kidnapped, many families with

Children were carried by their parents whenever possible while out and about. Older children, who could no longer be carried, were held tightly by their parents, who feared they might be taken away.

It was no surprise that Mrs. Lewis was aware of the incident. However, she only later discovered that the kidnapped child was Liberty’s son and that Liberty had also sustained injuries. When her youngest son failed to come home the previous night, Mrs. Lewis intentionally visited her son’s friends today in search of him, but to no avail. He was also absent from his office, leading her to suspect he was at the hospital.

“I’m in the hospital. What’s wrong, Mom?” Duncan asked in a deep voice. “Is something the matter?”

“Is Liberty okay? I heard she was stabbed multiple times,” she replied.

Liberty had been stabbed several times to protect her son. As a fellow mother, Mrs. Lewis admired Liberty’s bravery.

“She woke up at five in the morning. The doctor said she was no longer in critical condition, so she has been moved from the ICU to the general ward,” Mrs. Lewis informed her.

“Thank God. As long as she’s okay,” Mrs. Lewis responded. She then changed her tone and asked, “How did you know what happened at five o’clock? When did you arrive at the hospital?”

“I came to the hospital yesterday,” Duncan replied, not shying away from his mother’s question. “I stayed in the hospital all night. I couldn’t relax knowing Liberty was still in danger.”

Mrs. Lewis felt a wave of concern wash over her at the thought of her son keeping vigil over Liberty all night. Was her fear becoming a reality?

“Liberty could be watched over by her sister. Why must you, an outsider, stay up all night?” she questioned.

“Mom, I stayed…

Voluntarily, I was simply concerned. As long as Liberty was asleep, I couldn’t leave the hospital. Even if I managed to, I wouldn’t be in the mood for anything.” After Duncan acknowledged his feelings, he became quite open when talking to his mom.
