Mrs. Lewis replied, “It doesn’t matter if he wakes up; Sonny will still have his father. It would be tragic for him to lose his father at such a young age.”

Duncan responded, “Sonny doesn’t have a close relationship with his father. Hank often left Sonny with his sister, Liberty. He was an uninvolved father who would tease the child on a whim, frequently making him cry. His parents are similar; they care more about appearances than genuine affection for Sonny. He shows affection to his aunt, treating her like a mother, but he doesn’t have a fondness for his grandparents or Aunt Chelsea. This is largely due to Liberty’s fight for Sonny’s custody. It’s best for Sonny to stay with her.”

Mrs. Lewis hummed in agreement.

“Now the Brown family is desperately trying to build a relationship with Sonny. Although it’s not too late, it’s almost laughable,” Duncan expressed, revealing his strong opinions about the Brown family.

He harbored a dislike for them, particularly Chelsea, who he viewed as a shameless opportunist. She had previously mistreated Liberty, but now that Liberty was successful in business, Chelsea wanted to exploit her for personal gain.

“Sonny’s Aunt Chelsea is the most shameless person I’ve ever encountered,” Duncan lamented to his mother, sharing what he had witnessed in Hank’s hospital room.

Mrs. Lewis responded, “That’s certainly shameless enough. That entire family is exceptionally self-serving. Liberty is right to distance herself from them. People like that should be avoided. Liberty is kind-hearted; she’s an ordinary person who, after the divorce, took her son and moved on without looking back.”

After a moment of silence, Duncan said, “Their divorce agreement states that the Brown family can visit Sonny at any time, and Hank also pays child support. After all, the child is innocent.”

“Liberty did this for Sonny.” The relationship between Hank and Sonny was not particularly strong, but Hank still loved his son. He frequently visited, bought him gifts, and took him out to play, providing Sonny with fatherly affection. Everything Liberty did was for Sonny; she wanted him to grow up healthy and happy. She wished to avoid a divorce and the ensuing conflict that often harms children.

Mutual resentment can arise in situations like these, leading to one parent blaming the other in front of the child, which negatively affects the child’s well-being. Although Sonny was surrounded by love from many, nothing could replace a father’s love. Liberty simply wanted her son to feel that love from his father.

Mrs. Lewis expressed her concern: “I’m worried that their family will use Sonny to manipulate Hank and Liberty into remarrying.”

Duncan reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. No one can take away the woman I choose. One day, Liberty will be your daughter-in-law, as long as you support her.”

Mrs. Lewis smiled, responding, “I don’t dislike her, nor do I object. This is between you and Liberty; you just need to work hard.”

Duncan laughed, feeling motivated, as he had been putting in a lot of effort! He spent most of his time with Liberty, ensuring that Hank had little chance of rekindling their relationship. Liberty had clearly stated she would not go back, and even if Hank were sincere about wanting to remarry, she wouldn’t accept him. After finally escaping a difficult situation, she felt it would be foolish to jump back in.

The Brown family treated her well now that she had found success, having opened two restaurants and made a substantial amount of money.
