Chapter 1697
Mr. Lewis felt upset listening to his son yelling. Criticisms could no longer leave his mouth.
Duncan was tall and massive. He looked like a rough man.
After having lain in the hospital for over ten days, he had gotten thinner.
People who were concerned about him would feel sad upon seeing his state. He could not stand andlacked the spirit and vigor he used to have.
Even his gaze had lost its usual sparkle, replaced with despair.
The doctor said that Duncan’s full recovery depended on whether he could reignite his confidence andpersist in treating his legs and undergoing physiotherapy.
It would be a long journey.
There was a possibility that he would not make any progress even after time passed, and that couldeasily break someone’s spirits.
“Darling, stop scolding Duncan.”
Mrs. Lewis persuaded her husband, “It’s my fault. I insisted on feeding him even though he said hewasn’t hungry.”
She wanted to take all the blame.
Duncan watched his mother and averted his gaze. He could not meet her eyes anymore.
Although his mother had thought he was going to meet Liberty and tried to stop him, which caused hisaccident, the bigger blame was on him. He was driving too quickly, so he still rear–ended someoneelse’s vehicle even though he had slammed on the brakes when the unexpected situation occurred.
Duncan was lucky enough that he did not die.
A bodyguard entered. He only dared to walk over after standing still for some time. He asked Duncansoftly, “Mr. Lewis, Mr. Callum is here to visit you.”
He did not dare mention that Zachary had come too.
Callum had not been in Wiltspoon lately. Those who knew nothing would think he had just returnedfrom a business trip. With the relationship between the Lewises and the Yorks, it was perfectly normalfor Callum to visit Duncan at the hospital.
Duncan said coldly, “I don’t want to meet him. I don’t wish to see anyone now. Ask him to leave.”
After a moment of silence, the bodyguard said, “Mr. Zachary and his wife are here too.”
“I said I don’t want to meet anybody. I don’t want to see them or face their gazes of sympathy whenthey look at me. I don’t need sympathy!”
Duncan exploded in anger at the bodyguard’s words. He threw a tantrum again and shouted at thebodyguard.
“Duncan.”
Mr. Lewis called him.
Mrs. Lewis quickly told the bodyguard, “Go out and tell Mr. Zachary and Mr. Callum that Duncan isn’taccepting visitors.”

Mrs. Lewis’s wrinkles were not apparent and as many as before because she cared for her skin welland
often did facials.
Her wrinkles indeed grew deeper.
“Darling, don’t blame Duncan.”
Mrs. Lewis brought some napkins and a trash can. She wiped the spilled food on the bed and cleanedthe floor.
She was the one who made her son bedridden and unable to walk. She insisted on taking care of herson
herself.
With their son’s hot temper, it would be difficult for others to tolerate him besides his parents
“I’m not hungry. I can’t eat. I’m lying here every day like a living dead without exercising, and I havedigestion problems. I’m not hungry at all, and I can’t swallow anything. How many times have I told younot to bring me so much food? I can’t eat!
“Do you think I’m still the Duncan who can eat two big bowls of food every meal?”
Duncan knew he was in the wrong for knocking the bowl over and having his mother clean up themess. However, he could not control his emotions.
After being scolded by his father, he yelled at his parents. His words were filled with despair toward his
situation.
