Zachary remained silent as he turned around at the upcoming intersection. Despite his impatience, he knew he had to follow the traffic rules.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the hospital in a rush. Duncan was still in the emergency room. His parents, brother-in-law, and several members of the Lewis family were anxiously waiting by the door, their faces marked by worry and fear.
Mrs. Lewis’s eyes were puffy from crying, and she was consumed by guilt. She repeatedly performed gestures of prayer, pleading with God not to take her youngest son. She promised that if Duncan survived, she would no longer interfere in his relationship; she would accept his choice to marry a man and return home. Her only wish was for her son to live.
At that moment, Josh also arrived. After greeting Zachary, the two hurried inside together.
“Uncle, Auntie,” they greeted Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.
Mrs. Lewis, still overwhelmed with sorrow and self-blame, did not respond, while Mr. Lewis managed a nod.
“How is Duncan?” Zachary asked, concern etched on his face.
“Still being treated; his legs are the most severely injured,” Mr. Lewis replied, his face ashen. He struggled to maintain his composure, telling himself not to break down. He was uncertain whether his son was alive or dead.
“Dad, Mom, Duncan will be okay. He will pull through,” the elder Young Master Lewis reassured his parents. Internally, he too was filled with worry and fear.
Meanwhile, the three young mistresses of the Lewis family stood by their mother-in-law, offering quiet words of comfort.
While everyone was aware of the circumstances leading to Duncan’s accident, they initially felt the urge to blame Mrs. Lewis. However, seeing her in such deep distress and filled with self-recrimination, no one could bring themselves to assign blame.
Mother.
The one who endured the most pain and felt the deepest regret was Mrs. Lewis.
Meanwhile, Serenity, having completed her work, noticed that Zachary had not yet arrived. She decided to call him, and he stepped aside to answer the phone.
Serenity: “Honey, didn’t you mention wanting to join me for dinner? The hotel has already delivered the food you ordered.”
