Duncan took a deep breath, followed by another, and reminded himself to keep his anger in check. The woman before him seemed indifferent to his feelings. He was so furious that he had just slapped the bed, while she calmly sat in front of him, observing the outburst as if it were a circus act. Duncan was seething with rage, yet Liberty remained composed, watching him with an amused expression. He knew he had to maintain his dignity; he didn\u2019t want to appear weak in front of her as he had just moments ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiberty,\u201d he said, fixing her with a piercing stare, his eyes dark and intense. He pushed his feelings for her deep down and spoke coldly, \u201cYou\u2019ve seen me now, and I don\u2019t require your presence. You can leave.\u201d <\/p>\n

Liberty approached, took a seat in the chair facing his bed, and smiled at him. After losing weight, she had regained her pre-marriage beauty, and her smile was both radiant and reassuring. Against his will, Duncan felt his anger begin to wane.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Lewis, are your listening and comprehension skills intact?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

With a frosty expression, Duncan replied, \u201cI have injuries all over, but they haven\u2019t affected my hearing or comprehension.\u201d His other injuries were healing, but his severely injured legs still throbbed with pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s good to hear. However, I believe your listening and comprehension skills need improvement. I will be receiving a higher salary from Mrs. Lewis. I informed your father as soon as I arrived that I was hired by your mother to look after you. You can think of me as your nurse,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Lewis is paying me a daily salary of 10,000. I work for eight hours a day, and I don\u2019t have to work at night. I will leave at the end of my shift, so you don\u2019t need to chase me away. If I leave now, I fear Mrs. Lewis will detain me. Therefore, to ensure I receive my payment, I must remain here to care for you.\u201d <\/p>\n

A daily salary of $10,000 was more than\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo or three days of turnover in my breakfast shop is incredibly valuable,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Duncan remained silent. He couldn\u2019t bring himself to say that she wouldn\u2019t ask for a penny. However, it was possible that his mother had instructed her to give him $10,000 a day and to look after him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know you don\u2019t want to see me. You shouldn\u2019t be hungry after consuming so much soup. You can close your eyes and rest. If you do, even if I dangle in front of you, you won\u2019t be able to see me,\u201d Liberty continued. <\/p>\n

Duncan was taken aback; he realized that Liberty was quite eloquent. She had a sharp tongue. <\/p>\n

Annoyed, Duncan closed his eyes, wishing to avoid looking at Liberty. <\/p>\n

After a while, Liberty stood up, walked to the family bed, and lay down. She had been busy all morning and was tired. <\/p>\n

Before Duncan fell asleep, Liberty was already fast asleep. <\/p>\n

Duncan opened his eyes and turned his head to glance at her. He noticed she was sleeping without a blanket. Even though the weather was warm, the air conditioning in the ward ran 24\/7, making it easy for her to catch a chill. <\/p>\n

Duncan wished he could get out of bed to cover her with a light quilt, but he felt trapped and unable to move. <\/p>\n

Frustrated, he touched his legs. If he couldn\u2019t recover, he\u2019d be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. If he couldn\u2019t even cover her with a quilt, how could he ever bring her happiness again? <\/p>\n

Perhaps it was better to keep his distance while she wasn\u2019t in love with him.<\/p>\n
