As Liberty exited the inpatient department, she spotted Duncan.
She paused and gazed at him.
Before long, she approached him.
Liberty: “Mr. Lewis, what brings you here?”
“I just finished my rehabilitation and came out to relax. I wanted to visit your new restaurant to see you, but I noticed you driving away, so I decided to follow you,” Duncan replied candidly.
He had seen Liberty heading to the hospital and assumed she was visiting her ex-husband, prompting him to follow her out of curiosity.
Despite knowing Liberty wouldn’t reconcile with Hank, Duncan still felt anxious and protective.
Whenever Liberty went to the hospital, he found himself either trailing her, feeling discontent at home, or losing his temper.
The once easygoing Duncan had changed since his car accident, and now his temperament was unpredictable.
Everyone in the Lewis family treated him with caution, indulging him as long as he was in a good mood, allowing him to do as he pleased.
“Have you seen Sonny’s father?” Duncan inquired.
Liberty nodded and replied, “Auntie called me to inform me that Hank has woken up and has been transferred from the ICU to the general ward. I came to check on him and brought some fruits and nutritional supplements.”
After a moment of silence, Duncan asked, “Sure, Sonny, after school, would you like to take him to see his dad?”
“Let’s plan on taking him to see his dad this weekend. His dad is still in a coma,” Liberty said as she walked behind Duncan. The bodyguard subtly stepped aside, allowing Liberty to push Duncan gently.
“It’s a relief that he’s awake,” Duncan said softly. “After all, he is Sonny’s biological father.”
Liberty acknowledged with a hum, “Mr. Lewis, you haven’t eaten yet, so I’d like to treat you to dinner.”
Duncan responded, “Alright, I’m just hungry and was waiting for your invitation to dinner.”
“It can’t be like this. If you’re hungry, you need to eat something. Don’t let your stomach go hungry; make sure to have three meals a day on time.”
Duncan replied, “Understood.”
Liberty asked, “How about doing rehabilitation today?”
Duncan hesitated before responding.
Liberty reassured him, “Take your time; don’t worry. I believe you can stand up.”
Duncan said, “With a cane, I can take two steps.”
Liberty encouraged him, “That’s progress, Mr. Lewis! You’re doing great!”
Duncan smiled and replied, “Liberty, I can now accept that I am disabled without causing trouble like before. There’s no need to praise me like a child.”
He then asked, “How is Sonny doing in kindergarten? Did he cry and want to go home?”
Liberty responded, “No, he had a lot of fun. He usually plays alone, but there are many children playing together at kindergarten. I’m afraid he won’t want to come home.”
Duncan smiled, “Sonny is a bit lonely. What time does kindergarten end in the afternoon? Can I come with you to pick him up? I usually see him, but I can’t today. I really miss him.”
Liberty smiled back, saying, “Everyone feels that way. Serenity and Zachary also asked to pick up Sonny in the afternoon so I could have some time to myself. Elisa mentioned she was going to pick him up too. Sonny is very lucky to have so many people who love him.”
