Chapter 1436
After speaking with Zachary, Duncan refrained from visiting Liberty daily.
He only saw her twice that week: the first time was the evening he had a heart-to-heart with Zachary, and the second time was that very day.
“Mr. Lewis, Ms. Harmon,” Liberty exclaimed, quickly getting to her feet as they entered.
Duncan set down the fruit basket and handed Liberty the bouquet. Looking at her tenderly, he said, “These flowers are for you, Liberty.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lewis. You’re too kind,” Liberty replied, accepting the flowers. She had been receiving numerous fruit baskets and bouquets daily.
Though she was of minor importance, she was the biological sister of Mrs. York and the niece of Mrs. Stone, which explained the constant stream of visitors.
Duncan smiled, his gaze lingering on Liberty for a moment before he asked with concern, “Did the doctor say when you’ll be discharged?”
Duncan nodded in understanding.
Lily also expressed her worry by asking Liberty several questions.
Knock knock.
There was another knock at the door.
A bodyguard entered and addressed Serenity, saying, “Missus, the Browns are here again.”
Despite knowing they were unwelcome, the Browns continued to visit the hospital every single day after Liberty regained consciousness.
Serenity glanced at her sister and instructed, “Ask them to leave.”
She was aware that Jessica was being used by Mrs. Newman, who had the power over the Yates family. Mrs. Newman had coerced Jessica into becoming her pawn in the kidnapping of Sonny.
After Jessica was taken into custody, neither the Browns nor the Yateses were allowed to see her; only the lawyer was permitted visits.
Family members could only visit Jessica after she was sentenced.
Jessica
Jessica apologized to Liberty through her lawyer and defended her actions. She admitted that while she felt jealous of Liberty, she never intended to harm Sonny. Her assistance to Mrs. Newman was out of necessity.
However, regardless of her motivations, the fact remained that she had committed a crime, and she would face legal consequences. Ultimately, her wedding ceremony with Hank was canceled.
The Browns pressured Hank to divorce Jessica. Upon learning of this, Jessica laughed bitterly. She had always believed she was a winner, but she realized she had been the biggest loser all along. Had she not dated Hank, she might have found a decent partner, married him, and led a peaceful life.
Jessica found herself in her current predicament because she chose to be a homewrecker instead of a lawful wife. The distinction between heaven and hell often lies in one’s perspective. Jessica regretted her choices.
“Okay,” she said as the bodyguard exited the room.
Mrs. Brown attempted to enter after seeing the bodyguard leave, but the guards blocked her.
“Mrs. Brown, our missus requests that you leave. Ms. Hunt doesn’t wish to see you at all,” they stated.
“We just want to take a look. We’re not going to cause any trouble. Why won’t you let us in? Who’s inside?” Mrs. Brown pressed, hearing voices from within.
The York family’s bodyguard responded, “It’s Mr. Lewis.”
Upon hearing that Duncan was there again, Mrs. Brown was determined to enter. Yet, the York family’s bodyguards formed an unyielding barrier at the door, preventing Mrs. Brown and her family from stepping inside.
“Mom, let’s go,” Hank said, feeling uneasy about Duncan visiting Liberty once more.
