Chapter 1698
Serenity supported Mrs. Lewis and brought her to sit on a chair nearby.
“Duncan doesn’t want to meet anybody. If he doesn’t communicate, bottling his emotions and driving
himself into a dead end, then how can he recover?” Mrs. Lewis wiped her tears. She apologized to the
York brothers, “Zack, Callum, don’t blame Duncan. He refuses to see anyone now. He wouldn’t even
meet his brothers when they came and stopped them from entering the ward.
“His sisters–in–law would bring some nutritious stew over. While the stew could enter the ward, his
sisters- in–law were not allowed. He thinks everyone he sees pities him. Even if it’s just a word of
concern, he’ll think the same.”
Mrs. Lewis’s tears were unstoppable.
Her youngest son had always given her the impression that he was strong.
She did not know what to do about his mental breakdown.
The Lewis family’s elders had visited, but Duncan would not listen to anything. He even refused to
meet his best friends, Zachary and Josh. He did not even pick up their calls or reply to their messages.
Duncan had completely locked himself in his pessimistic world.
When could he recover if that continued?
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Mrs. Lewis, can Duncan go out in a wheelchair now? You
can push him out for a walk when you’re free. He must feel bored after lying on the bed for over ten
days. Maybe pushing him out on a stroll and relaxing can improve his mood.
“We can’t let him continue in this breakdown. It’ll ruin the rest of his life. He can only get better if we
change his mindset and regain his confidence in life.”
Mrs. Lewis sighed. “He’ll feel excruciating pain even with the slightest movements of his legs. He can
sit in a wheelchair, but he’ll think he’s useless when we move him onto the wheelchair because he can’t
even
sit on one himself.
“He holds a strong rejection toward sitting in a wheelchair too. He was saying something like being a
cripple and having to be wheelchair–bound for the rest of his life.”
Zachary opened his mouth but did not know what to say for a moment.
As Duncan’s best friend, Zachary had already done many things. He would free up time to send
messages to Duncan and call him. He wanted to encourage him, but there was no response. Duncan
did not reply to
him at all.
Had Duncan seen the messages he sent him?
Duncan had trapped himself within his despairing thoughts and erected an impenetrable wall. He would
not meet anyone besides his parents and refused to listen to people’s advice or consolation.
It saddened and worried people who were concerned about him, but they could not do anything.
Mrs. Lewis only stopped crying after a while. She slowly calmed her emotions.novelbin
Her son still needed her care. No matter how upset she was, she could not fall apart like her son.
Otherwise, he would be done for.
“Zack, Callum, Serenity, I’m sorry. You all came to visit every day but always left with nothing.”
Mrs. Lewis apologized to the three of them.
“Mrs. Lewis, Duncan will gradually accept the situation and move on. Don’t be too worried.”
The York brothers could only comfort her.
Mrs. Lewis nodded.
She would definitely make her son regain his confidence and stand up again.
“Zack, may I trouble you to keep an eye on the media? Don’t let them write anything about Duncan’s
condition anymore. Duncan scrolls through the news and trending searches on his phone every day.”
Mrs. Lewis thought of it and asked Zachary for help.
The Lewis family was keeping an eye out too. They would take action once a media company wrote
anything about Duncan.
She was just worried the Lewis family could not manage it on their own.
“I’ll pay attention to it, Mrs. Lewis. I won’t let them make things up anymore.”
Those media liked to involve Liberty the most.
Liberty had gone through a divorce before and was living with her son, but that was not the issue. The
problem was that her sister was the York family’s missus.
That relationship would make things interesting if Liberty was dragged into the mess.
