Dogs would leap over walls when they were in a hurry, while rabbits would bite people when pressed for time. This behavior could push individuals to a breaking point, leading to anger and potentially violent outcomes. Liberty was not surprised when Jessica stabbed Chelsea. Given Chelsea’s abrasive nature and her tendency to manage family matters, it was no wonder that she was disliked by her sister-in-law. Before Liberty divorced Hank, she harbored resentment towards Chelsea. Fortunately, Chelsea was not living in her younger brother’s house as she does now, giving Liberty some respite from the chaos that might drive someone to madness or violence.

Chelsea despised Jessica for nearly stealing Lucas away by aligning with outsiders, which led her to target Jessica relentlessly. While residing at her mother’s house, Chelsea worked to create rifts between her brother and his wife, as well as provoke conflicts between her parents and Jessica, often leaving the Brown family in turmoil. Those who create discord typically have a volatile temperament.

Jessica could no longer tolerate Chelsea’s behavior, which ultimately resulted in Chelsea being hospitalized. Liberty believed that married daughters often return to their families, where they are welcomed. However, Chelsea’s constant interference in her siblings’ lives and her gossip about her sister-in-law to their parents was repulsive. It was only a matter of time before Chelsea faced serious consequences for her actions.

What astonished Liberty was how Jessica managed to stab Hank, or even kill him. Hank had always treated Jessica well, both before and after their marriage. Despite his parents and sister’s constant criticism of Jessica and their urging for him to divorce her, he consistently stood by her side. He even made efforts to mediate conflicts between the two sides, yet his family remained inflexible.

His mediation proved ineffective.

Recently, Jessica experienced another miscarriage, resulting in the loss of her first child. It was only natural for her to feel sorrow. Could her grief be the reason she harbored such hatred for Hank, even to the point of wanting to kill him?

Liberty could only speculate.

George said, “Liberty, Hank has always been Sonny’s true father. If you have the chance, you should go check on him. In case Hank can’t make it… please ensure Sonny gets to see his father one last time; he can give him a ride.”

As George finished speaking, his expression turned somber. He never anticipated such a significant event affecting his in-laws, nor did he expect his brother-in-law to end up in this situation.

Reflecting on the past, George felt a rush of shame. Although he never openly bullied Liberty and sought to benefit from her, his wife would frequently return to her mother’s house to take advantage of the situation. His in-laws helped him care for the children, while his brother-in-law contributed to their living expenses. He had enjoyed the advantages offered by his in-laws without ever urging his wife to reconsider.

It could be said that his brother-in-law’s current predicament bore some responsibility from him.

When Liberty was Chelsea’s sister-in-law, she would greet her warmly. How could it have escalated to such violence?

It was truly unfortunate!

Hank should never have cheated or divorced!

“Liberty, Chelsea and I have not treated you well in the past, and I sincerely apologize. I’m truly sorry!” George felt they all owed Liberty an apology.

After a moment of silence, Liberty replied, “The past is behind us; I don’t wish to revisit it. I’ll head to the emergency room to check on the situation later.”

“Mr. Repton, please take care of Miss Zhou,” she added.

George nodded and left.

Liberty waited for George to exit.

Before she exited the inpatient department, Mrs. Lewis pushed Duncan and walked slowly into the open area at the entrance. The hospital was bustling with a crowd, and individuals in a hurry were visible all around. From the start, Duncan felt anxious about going downstairs to encounter strangers, fearing that he would only be met with sympathetic glances.
