How can he possibly improve?\u201d Mrs. Lewis wiped away her tears and addressed the Zachary brothers, saying, \u201cZachary, Callum, please don\u2019t blame Duncan. Right now, he doesn\u2019t want to see anyone, not even his brothers when they visit, and he refuses to let them into his room.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen his three sisters-in-law brought him soup, he wouldn\u2019t allow them in either. He believes that everyone who visits feels sorry for him, and he interprets any kind words as pity,\u201d Mrs. Lewis continued, unable to hold back her tears. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan had always seemed incredibly strong to her, but now his breakdown left her feeling helpless. The elders of the Lewis family had visited, yet Duncan wasn\u2019t receptive to them either. He even ignored messages and calls from his close friends, Zachary and Josh. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan had completely isolated himself in his negative mindset. If this continued, when would he begin to recover? <\/p>\n<p>After a moment of silence, Zachary spoke up: \u201cAuntie, can Duncan use a wheelchair to go outside? When you have some free time, take him for a walk. He\u2019s been stuck in that hospital bed for over ten days, and he must be bored. A little fresh air and a change of scenery might help lift his spirits.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t let him fall apart like this; it could jeopardize the rest of his life. If we can help him shift his mindset and restore his faith in life, he has a chance to get better.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis sighed, \u201cHe can sit in a wheelchair, but moving still causes him excruciating pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>felt the need to intervene. Duncan was once again resistant and unable to sit in his wheelchair. He expressed his reluctance by stating that he would spend his entire life in a wheelchair, insisting that he was disabled. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary opened his mouth to respond but found himself at a loss for words. As Duncan\u2019s close friend, he had made considerable efforts to support him. Each day, he sent messages and made phone calls in an attempt to motivate Duncan, but to no avail; Duncan never replied. <\/p>\n<p>Was Duncan even reading Zachary\u2019s messages, unbeknownst to him? Trapped in his pessimistic mindset, Duncan had built an emotional fortress, refusing to see anyone except his parents. He was unable to accept the encouragement and comfort offered by others. <\/p>\n<p>This behavior caused distress and anxiety for those who cared for him, yet there was little they could do. Mrs. Lewis cried for a long time before finally calming down. <\/p>\n<p>Duncan continued to rely on Mrs. Lewis for care. Despite her discomfort, she knew she had to remain composed; otherwise, her son would suffer even more. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m truly sorry, Zachary, Callum, Serenity. You come here every day, and it feels like your efforts are in vain,\u201d Mrs. Lewis apologized once more to the trio. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAuntie, don\u2019t worry too much. Duncan will eventually overcome this,\u201d the York brothers reassured her, offering nothing but consolation. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lewis nodded, determined to help her son regain his confidence and stand up again. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary, please keep an eye on the media. I don\u2019t want them to report on Duncan\u2019s injury. He still checks trending news on his phone every day,\u201d Mrs. Lewis requested of Zachary. <\/p>\n<p>The Lewis family was vigilant about current news, and whenever they saw anything related to Duncan in the media, they felt compelled to act.<\/p>\n<p>reacted immediately. Mrs. Lewis was concerned that the Lewis family would not be able to watch over her. Zachary said, \u201cAuntie, I\u2019m aware of the situation, and I won\u2019t allow them to fabricate any more stories.\u201d The media particularly enjoyed targeting Liberty. Liberty, who was divorced and living with a child, was not a sensitive topic. What made it sensitive was that her own sister was the primary mistress of the York family. Due to this connection, any involvement of Liberty would always attract attention.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Married at First Sight Chapter 1698, Serenity assisted Mrs. Lewis in guiding her to a nearby chair where she could [&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-14001","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\/14001","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=14001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14001\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
