Married at First Sight Chapter 1681

Married at First Sight Chapter 1681 – After Liberty left the hospital, she returned to her breakfast shop.

“Boss, you’re back!” Upon her return, the two shop assistants greeted Liberty but hesitated before approaching her.

Liberty was lost in thought and didn’t notice their hesitation.

With the store busy, the assistants focused on their work, planning to speak with their boss later.

However, observing Liberty’s distracted demeanor, the shop assistants speculated about the trending news.

Given that Liberty’s younger sister was married to the eldest son of a wealthy family, they assumed she had received the news much faster than they did.

As Liberty sat in front of the cash register, Duncan’s words echoed in her mind.

He had been in a car accident, and while she was concerned for him, he had placed blame on her. Did she ask him to come to her? Certainly not.

“Sister.”

A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

Liberty looked up to find her younger sister seated across from her. She had been so preoccupied that she hadn’t even noticed Serenity’s arrival.

Liberty asked, “Serenity, don’t you need to go back to the store?”

Serenity replied, “Jasmine is there. I’ll be going to our company with Elisa later. Jasmine is pregnant, and it’s not suitable for her to run back and forth, so she’s staying at the bookstore to oversee things.”

Josh had preferred that Jasmine stay home, but she insisted that if he didn’t let her return to the bookstore, she would follow Serenity to the vegetable market.

Ultimately, Josh had no choice but to agree to her visiting the bookstore daily.

It wasn’t exhausting to supervise the bookstore, especially since there were bodyguards available to help with moving goods when necessary.

“Has Elisa not arrived yet?” Liberty asked as she glanced behind her.

her sister, but she didn’t see her cousin, so she inquired.

“I just called her, and she hasn’t woken up yet, so I told her to wait for her at my sister’s place,” she explained.

Serenity noticed the dark circles under her sister’s eyes and asked with concern, “Sister, didn’t you sleep well last night? You left home so early this morning.”

When Serenity and Zachary got up, Liberty was already gone. Serenity asked the butler, who informed her that Liberty had left the house early.

Serenity suspected that Liberty had gone to the hospital to visit Duncan.

Although Liberty didn’t love Duncan, she had known him for nearly a year and considered him a friend, especially since he had been very helpful to her.

“It’s a bit of insomnia,” Liberty admitted quietly. “I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and went to the hospital to see Mr. Lewis. He believes that my presence caused his car accident, so he asked me to leave and told Mrs. Lewis that I should never show up in front of him again.”

Liberty sighed, “Is this really my fault? Is being liked a mistake?”

“Sister!” Serenity reached out and took Liberty’s hand, speaking gently. “Don’t think that way. Mr. Lewis knows the truth about his injury. It’s just hard for him to accept right now, which is why he’s acting this way. It’s not just you he wants to avoid; he doesn’t want to see me either.”

“Zachary and I also went to visit him. He refused to see me and wouldn’t let Zachary into the ward. He had his bodyguards stationed at the door to keep out anyone he didn’t want to see,” Serenity continued.

Liberty was taken aback. “Mr. Lewis and Zachary were both turned away?”

Serenity nodded, saying, “He probably thinks we would pity him, but we don’t want his sympathy. We genuinely care about him.”

When he learned of his injury,

He was concerned about the possibility of being disabled and spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He couldn’t come to terms with it and believed that everyone around him felt pity for him. Liberty sighed and said, “I think Mr. Lewis feels the same way.” The hurtful words Duncan spoke were not a reflection of his true feelings. At the time, Liberty was deeply hurt by his comments, but after taking some time to calm down and reflect, she concluded that those words did not represent Duncan’s genuine truth.
