He could no longer stand and had lost his previous vitality.<\/div>\n<div>His eyes, once full of life, now reflected a sense of despair.<\/div>\n<div>The doctor had initially stated that his chances of a full recovery depended heavily on his ability to regain confidence, persist in leg treatment, and engage in rehabilitation.<\/div>\n<div>It would be a long journey.<\/div>\n<div>It was possible for days to pass without any progress, which could easily lead to a breakdown.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHusband, please don\u2019t blame Duncan,\u201d Mrs. Lewis urged her husband. \u201cIt\u2019s my fault. Duncan said he wasn\u2019t hungry anymore, but I insisted on feeding him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Lewis took full responsibility for the situation.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan glanced at his mother but quickly looked away, unable to meet her gaze again.<\/div>\n<div>Although it was his mother who thought he was going to see Liberty and tried to stop him, leading to his car accident, he knew that the greater fault lay with him. He had been driving too fast, and in an emergency, even a sudden brake could lead to rear-ending another vehicle.<\/div>\n<div>It was a blessing that he hadn\u2019t died.<\/div>\n<div>The bodyguard entered the room and hesitated for a moment before softly approaching Duncan. \u201cFourth Young Master, Second Young Master York, Callum has come to see you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He refrained from mentioning that Zachary was also present.<\/div>\n<div>Callum had not been in Wiltspoon lately; those unaware of the situation would assume he had been on a business trip and had just returned. Given the relationship between the two families, it was entirely normal for Callum to visit.<\/div>\n<p>The hospital visit was for Duncan. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan stated coldly, \u201cI don\u2019t want to see him, and I don\u2019t want to see anyone. Just let him go.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>After a brief silence, the bodyguard replied, \u201cEldest Young Master York and Mrs. Eldest Young Mistress are also here.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Duncan retorted, \u201cI don\u2019t want to see anyone. I don\u2019t want to face their sympathetic gazes. I don\u2019t need sympathy!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When the bodyguard spoke again, Duncan erupted in anger, prompting the bodyguard to growl loudly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuncan,\u201d Mr. Lewis shouted. <\/p>\n<p>However, Mrs. Lewis quickly instructed the bodyguard, \u201cGo out and tell Zachary and Callum that Duncan won\u2019t see any guests.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She followed the bodyguard out of the ward. <\/p>\n<p>Upon seeing the York brothers, Mrs. Lewis broke down in tears. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary, Callum, I don\u2019t even know what to do,\u201d she said while wiping her tears and choking up. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity offered her a tissue and reassured her, \u201cAuntie, Duncan will get better soon.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis mental state has collapsed, and he refuses to listen to anything. He keeps saying he\u2019s disabled and struggles to sit up. He claims he can\u2019t walk normally and has lost his self-confidence,\u201d Mrs. Lewis lamented, tears streaming down her face once more. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan\u2019s breakdown weighed heavily on Mrs. Lewis as well. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. and Mrs. Lewis tended to their son daily without help from maids or needing their other sons to step in, believing they were responsible for their youngest son\u2019s situation. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis insisted on caring for him until he recovered, as it provided her with some solace. <\/p>\n<p>The York brothers offered comforting words to Mrs. Lewis. <\/p>\n<p>Post navigation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Married at First Sight by Gu Lingfei Chapter 1697 Mr. Lewis felt an overwhelming sense of unease upon hearing his [&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-14000","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\/14000","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=14000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
