Please leave and do not trouble him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary replied gently, \u201cPlease inform him that we have come to see him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The bodyguard responded, \u201cSir and Madam are still trying to persuade the fourth Young Master Lewis to eat, and he is currently in a very bad mood.\u201d He hoped that Zachary and his companions would take the hint and leave, sparing them further difficulty.<\/div>\n<div>What they truly wished for was that Duncan would be willing to see his friends instead of lying in bed all day.<\/div>\n<div>Unfortunately, Duncan, who ignored even his parents\u2019 pleas, was unlikely to heed their advice.<\/div>\n<div>Having been bedridden for over ten days, Duncan\u2019s mental state had deteriorated. He longed to stand up and walk like a normal person, desperate to escape the confines of his bed and the care of others.<\/div>\n<div>He did not want to see anyone; he felt that visitors looked at him with pity.<\/div>\n<div>He was disabled and unable to walk.<\/div>\n<div>Even being placed in a wheelchair made him uneasy.<\/div>\n<div>The doctor advised him to rest while his leg injury healed, suggesting that sitting in a wheelchair would become less uncomfortable in time. However, to recover fully and walk normally again, he would need to remain patient for an extended period.<\/div>\n<p>He needed to continue his rehabilitation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to eat! I have no appetite! Take it away, take it away!\u201d Duncan\u2019s roar echoed from the ward. <\/p>\n<p>Moments later, the bowl and chopsticks were knocked over, crashing loudly to the floor. <\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t need to enter the room to know that Duncan had lost his temper and sent the bowl flying from his mother\u2019s hands. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis had wanted to feed her son breakfast herself, but the bowl and chopsticks were now scattered on the ground. The bowl shattered, and its contents spilled onto the bed and floor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuncan.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lewis raised his hand in anger but lowered it weakly, adopting a pleading tone. \u201cDuncan, if you don\u2019t eat something, you won\u2019t get the nutrition or strength you need to improve. Look at your mother; ever since your accident, she has been by your side every day, and her hair is turning white.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to proper maintenance and regular beauty treatments, Mrs. Lewis had very little gray hair before. <\/p>\n<p>Now, however, she had noticeably aged. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHusband, don\u2019t blame Duncan,\u201d Mrs. Lewis said as she retrieved paper towels and a trash can, wiping the food off the bed and cleaning the floor. <\/p>\n<p>She was the one who had insisted on caring for her son, even though he was unable to walk and lay in bed. <\/p>\n<p>Given their son\u2019s violent temper, only his parents could tolerate his outbursts; it was hard for anyone else to manage. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not hungry! I can\u2019t eat! I lie here every day like a living corpse! I don\u2019t exercise, I can\u2019t digest anything\u2014I\u2019m not hungry at all! How many times do I have to tell you? Stop bringing me food! Do you think I\u2019m the same Duncan who used to eat two big bowls of rice in one meal?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Duncan overturned the bowl once more.<\/p>\n<p>He asked his mother to clean it up because he felt he was at fault, but he couldn\u2019t help himself and struggled to control his emotions. After being confronted by his father, he shouted at his parents, his words reflecting his deep despair about his situation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uf190 \uf15c \uf18e Married at First Sight by Gu Lingfei Chapter 1696 As the York brothers approached, the Lewis family\u2019s [&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-13999","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\/13999","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=13999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13999\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
