Female Novel
Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 1714
Chapter 1714
Surely, Liberty would leave if Duncan could give her the brush off and throw fits.
She would think differently about him.
That way, she would have no qualms about marrying another when she met the right person.
With that in mind, Duncan vowed to himself to make it happen.
So what if Liberty would come by every day to care for him? He had ways to get Liberty to give up on
the daily wages of ten thousand dollars and stay away from him.
Since it was quiet in the ward, Mrs. Lewis gently pushed the door open to take a peek inside.
Her son cocked his head and quietly watched Liberty sleeping in the bed for dependents.
Mrs. Lewis believed she made the right call to hire Liberty as her son’s carer.
So long as her son was still in love with Liberty, Liberty could get Duncan to eat, sleep, and carry on
with physiotherapy.
Sensing another presence in the room, Duncan turned to look at his mother.
He fell silent for a bit before uttering, “Mom, Liberty mentioned that you hired her for ten thousand
dollars a day to take care of me.” “Yeah.
Didn’t you say that Liberty is responsible for what you have become? She should be the one nursing
you back to health since she’s responsible.
I can afford three hundred thousand dollars a month.” Duncan choked.
“You and Dad aren’t getting any younger.
You can rest at home if it’s too much for you.
You can send our domestic workers to take care of me.
You and Dad can come to visit every other day instead of every day.” It distressed Duncan to see his
parents worn out too.
“Duncan, it’s not that we don’t want to look after you...
I just think Liberty should take some responsibility.
That’s all.” Mrs. Lewis did not say that in good conscience.
“It has nothing to do with Liberty.
I only have myself to blame.” Duncan had said mean things about Liberty being the cause of his
accident, but it was to drive Liberty away.
He did not want Liberty to see him during his most vulnerable and weakest moment.
Nevertheless, he jumped to Liberty’s defense when his mom pushed the blame on Liberty.
“You said it yourself that you got into the accident because of Liberty, and you said it multiple times.”
Duncan had no comeback to that.
Seeing that Liberty was not sleeping under the covers, Mrs. Lewis went over and tucked Liberty in.
Mrs. Lewis looked at Liberty’s sleeping face and spoke in a soft voice, “It’s draining on Liberty too.
She has to get up early for her diner, and Sonny doesn’t stay with her now.
He spends the night at Zachary’s place because Liberty has to get up early and can’t take care of
Sonny.
“She has to work all morning and come over to take care of you.
It’s more exhausting for her.
Focus on your recovery if you feel bad for her.
She can rest once you're all better.
She’s just paid to do ajob, and she’s committed.
I’m sure she will do a good job.” Liberty would not take the money, but it did not stop Mrs. Lewis fromnovelbin
using the fact on her son.
Besides, Liberty told Duncan the same thing anyway.
Duncan was without a word.
Mrs. Lewis then glanced at the food container that Liberty brought along.
Seeing it empty, she turned to face and asked her son, “Did you finish the food Liberty brought?”
Duncan peevishly answered, “The woman doesn’t keep her word.
We agreed that she would leave after I finished the stew.
She went away but not for long.
She came back in less than ten minutes.” Mrs. Lewis wanted to laugh at her son’s complaints.
Liberty was the right person to handle her son.
At the end of the day, her son was willing to eat something because he still cared a lot about Liberty.
Otherwise, nobody could have persuaded him otherwise.
Holding back the laughter, Mrs. Lewis said, “Well, Liberty did it.
She said she will leave after you eat the food, but she never said that she would leave the hospital.
She did what she said she would do and went away for a bit.
She never mentioned not coming back.” Duncan was stumped for words.
His mother and Liberty were together in this, so nothing he said could change their minds.
Plus, not that he could, but he was not going anywhere anyway.
