Chapter 1771
Since an elevator was needed to move between floors, Liberty believed the security detail was not
needed.
Liberty pushed Duncan into the elevator to get upstairs.
Duncan still could not walk on his own, and Liberty was only taking him out for a stroll.
Otherwise, Duncan would be cranky to lie in bed all day.
Despite another month-long stay in the hospital, Duncan still could not stand on his feet, and it fueled
his bad temper.
He got the feeling that he might never walk again.
For this reason, Duncan wanted to drive Liberty away more than ever.
He did not want Liberty to look after him.
He even offered six hundred thousand dollars to Liberty every month so that she would not hang
around him.
Duncan felt bad to see the tired state Liberty was in.
Liberty lost a lot of weight after taking care of him fora little over a month.
There was no telling when he would ever get better.
At this rate, Liberty would become skin and bones just caring for him.
He simply could not bear to see her like this.
In the last two days, Duncan sat in the wheelchair while Liberty pushed him downstairs for some fresh
air in an open space at the front of the hospital.
The change of scenery mellowed Duncan down.
Liberty pushed Duncan and headed to the elevator.
Once near the elevator, the doors happened to open, and out walked Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.
Seeing that Liberty was with her son, Mrs. Lewis drew close.
“Liberty, is Duncan going for a check-up?” Mrs. Lewis carried two food containers, and Mr. Lewis came
bearing some bags too.
They brought food for Duncan and Liberty.
Liberty’s weight loss did not go unnoticed.
Feeling bad and sorry, Mrs. Lewis paid Liberty three hundred thousand dollars at the end of the month,
but Liberty refused to accept the payment.
She said that she owed it to Duncan.
Nevertheless, the women carried on with their act to trick Duncan into thinking Liberty was hired to take
care of him.novelbin
Despite his efforts to chase Liberty away, Liberty would insist that she was here for the money, and
Duncan could do nothing about it.
He wanted to force Liberty out, but since Duncan could not get up, he could only get rid of Liberty with
his death stares.
Alas, Liberty was not intimidated one bit, and it only made Duncan resent the fact that he could not
walk.
° “Don’t worry, Mrs. Lewis.
There’s no check-up.
Mr. Lewis is feeling down, so 1 thought I should take him downstairs for a stroll.” Liberty added, “Do
you want to come along, Mrs. Lewis?” “Sure.” Mrs. Lewis handed the food containers to her husband
and said, “Take the things to the ward.
Liberty and I will take Duncan downstairs for some fresh air.” Mr. Lewis took the food containers and
tenderly told Liberty, “Thank you, Liberty.
It must have been tough.” Duncan interrupted.
“It’s not easy to make good money.
She doesn’t have to take this job if she finds it tough.
I offered her twenty thousand dollars a day just to stay away from me, but she doesn’t want to take it.
She prefers to earn her wages on a tough job, so why do you feel sorry for her, dad?” “Duncan.” Mr.
Lewis told his son off, “Can you not be so mean? It’s been a while since the accident, and you should
face reality by now.” Duncan pounded his legs.
“Yeah, I should face reality.
I should’ve faced reality a long time ago.
I’m a cripple.
1 have legs, but they are of no use to me.
They are just decorations.
I’m better off amputated.” “Duncan.” “Mr. Lewis.” Liberty and Mrs. Lewis stopped Duncan from
hammering his legs.
Mrs. Lewis said, “Derek, can you cut it out? Duncan, don’t take your father’s word to heart.
You’re not a cripple.
You can get better.
The doctor said that you can feel the pain in your legs, and that’s a good thing.” Duncan would be a
cripple if he lost any sensation in his legs.
“Let’s wheel Duncan away, Liberty.
We’ ll take the ramp instead of the elevator.”
