How did Auntie claim she harmed Duncan?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Josh turned to Mr. Lewis, eager for him to reveal the truth.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cOh, it\u2019s our fault. Duncan was drunk yesterday. After you dropped him off, his mother tried to call, but he didn\u2019t answer. When she contacted the butler, she found out he was intoxicated. This morning, if his mother insists on going, I will accompany her. Duncan didn\u2019t wake up until noon. When he finally awoke and saw us, he didn\u2019t say a word, which led to another argument between mother and son. Not wanting to fight, Duncan got up and left.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mr. Lewis reflected on that moment, wishing he had prevented his wife from escalating the situation, which ultimately intensified the conflict between her and their youngest son.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDuncan\u2019s mother asked if he intended to see Liberty again and wouldn\u2019t let him leave. Ignoring her, Duncan drove off. Enraged, his mother followed him, determined to stop him from going to Liberty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI was trying to convince her to stop arguing with Duncan. He\u2019s 36 and knows what he\u2019s doing. As parents, we shouldn\u2019t worry so much. Duncan has always been independent and dislikes feeling constrained by family. The more we oppose his pursuit of Liberty, the more he will resist us.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>His mother wouldn\u2019t listen, and when Duncan noticed we were pursuing him, he sped away, overtaking other vehicles. It was his excessive speed that ultimately led to the accident.<\/div>\n<p>He rear-ended a large truck at a traffic light intersection. The truck had come to a stop. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lewis expressed his feelings of guilt: \u201cIt\u2019s all our fault. If we hadn\u2019t been pursuing him, Duncan wouldn\u2019t have driven so fast, and he wouldn\u2019t have collided with the truck that was slowing down and unable to stop in time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary looked at Josh, and Josh looked back at Zachary; neither knew how to respond to the conversation. <\/p>\n<p>When Duncan left, he didn\u2019t intend to find Liberty, but Mrs. Lewis was anxious and always feared that her son would seek Liberty, prompting her to chase after him to prevent him from going. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan was likely filled with anger at that moment. Because of his anger, he was unable to concentrate while driving. He had been drinking the night before and had only just woken up, leaving him feeling unwell, which may have contributed to the accident. <\/p>\n<p>After a moment, Zachary spoke reassuringly: \u201cUncle, Duncan will recover.\u201d As long as Duncan could survive, the other injuries would heal over time. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuncan mainly injured his legs. You heard what the doctor said; his recovery will take a long time. I worry that when he wakes up, he\u2019ll realize he\u2019ll be in a wheelchair for an extended period and need rehabilitation. I\u2019m afraid he won\u2019t be able to accept it. <\/p>\n<p>Despite his seemingly carefree demeanor, he is actually quite fragile. His rebellious behavior led to his grandmother\u2019s illness worsening, ultimately resulting in her passing. For over ten years, he has lived with that guilt. <\/p>\n<p>If the scar on his face isn\u2019t resolved, he won\u2019t be able to escape that self-blame. Now that this tragedy has occurred, I fear he may not be able to handle it.\u201d Mr. Lewis was concerned about whether his son could accept the possibility of being unable to walk when he woke up.<\/p>\n<div>Even if it is curable, the process will take a considerable amount of time.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou asked why we parents make things difficult for our son. If he likes someone, why not let him pursue that person? He\u2019s old enough, and there\u2019s only one person he cares about. Our lack of support has frustrated him, and when he\u2019s upset\u2026\u201d Mr. Lewis lamented, \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of discussing this now? Something has happened to my son.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Josh responded with reassurance: \u201cUncle, while Duncan does have a sensitive side, he is also quite resilient. He won\u2019t be easily defeated. His leg injury will certainly heal. Duncan has feelings for Sister Liberty, and I believe it\u2019s best for them to handle their emotional matters on their own. We\u2019re all adults, and we shouldn\u2019t struggle to navigate our own emotional issues, should we?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mr. Lewis glanced at Zachary, his lips moved as if he wanted to speak, yet no words came out.<\/div>\n<div>After a brief silence, Zachary said, \u201cMy sister truly doesn\u2019t have any romantic feelings for Duncan. She doesn\u2019t dislike him; she considers him a friend.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uf190 \uf15c \uf18e In the \u201cMarried at First Sight\u201d chapter, Josh was contemplating his wife\u2019s pregnancy and his desire to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13979\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
