Mrs. Lewis continued, “Liberty, don’t take Duncan’s words to heart.
He’s... Like a porcupine now, covered with sharp quills.
He wouldn't meet anyone who went to visit him.
He said everyone came out of pity.” “Mirs.
Lewis, I won’t blame Mr. Duncan.” Liberty withdrew her hand softly.
She was not used to Mrs. Lewis holding her hand in such an intimate manner.
“Liberty, I came to see you because I need your help.” Mrs. Lewis raised the subject.
She watched Liberty with pleading eyes and said, “Liberty, we’re all sad because of Duncan’s state, but
we’re unable to persuade him.
“He loves you a lot.
He doesn’t want to meet you lately because he feels inferior.
He thinks he’s disabled and doesn't wish to bea burden to you.
That’s why he refuses to see you.” Liberty listened to Mrs. Lewis speak without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lewis said, “Liberty, I would like you to take care of Duncan and help
him to regain his confidence so he can persist in physiotherapy even after being discharged from the
hospital.”
She felt Duncan would only regain his confidence and have a chance of recovery if Liberty took care of
him.novelbin
If not, he would continue being down in the dumps and might be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his
life.
“I know you’re busy. Your business is doing great, and you earn a lot daily.
Don’t worry. I won’t let you be at a disadvantage.
I’ll pay you ten thousand dollars per day.
You only have to come in the morning and no need to watch over him at night.
“what do you think?” Business at All You Can Eat was good, but not to the extent of earning ten
thousand dollars per day.
Mrs. Lewis thought offering a ten-grand salary and hiring Liberty to encourage her son to regain his
confidence was already very high.
“We won't care whether you have feelings for Duncan or not.
That’s between you and him.
Everything I said was true—I’ve changed my mind.
As long as my child lives happily, I don’t care who he likes or marries.
I just want him to live properly and happily.
“Liberty, I know my request puts you in a difficult spot, but I ran out of choices.
Therefore, I can only trouble you.” Mrs. Lewis grabbed Liberty’s hand again.
She pleaded, “I beg you, Liberty.
Please help us.
Duncan will only stand up again if you’re the one taking care of him.
Please. If you think what I’m offering is too little, then name your price.
I’ll meet your request no matter how much it is.” “Mr. Duncan has been a great help to me.
I’m saddened by his current situation as well.
I hope he can recover as soon as possible.
I'd be glad to help however I can, but it has nothing to do with romantic feelings.
You don’t have to pay me so much money.” “You're sacrificing so much time to take care of Duncan.
It’s a given that I have to compensate you.
I know your character well.
You wouldn’t take our money if we didn’t say we’re hiring you.
Liberty, just take it as you’re working as a paid caregiver.” Even if Liberty were to develop feelings for
Duncan while she cared for him, Mrs. Lewis did not care.
If she still did not have romantic feelings for him, Mrs. Lewis would also respect her decision.
She could only sigh about them not being fated to be together.
If Duncan decided not to marry because of that, Mrs. Lewis would accept it too.
It was her son’s life.
He could live however he wanted.
She had to admit that the car accident had truly opened up her mind.
However, the price for it was too heavy.
