Chapter 1780
Duncan immediately hurried Liberty to handle the discharge paperwork.
The doctor whined in his head, ‘The doctors and nurses have enough of your daily fuss anyway. The
early discharge is not a big deal, so you can leave if you want to.’
The Lewises were wealthy, and they had their family doctors. The Lewis family would hire specialized
care for Duncan when he got out of the hospital.
“Doctor, is my son fine to be discharged?” Mrs. Lewis was worried that her son’s condition may worsen
after the discharge.
“Mr. Lewis can be released from the hospital if he wants to. He might feel better recuperating at home.
The speed of recovery is linked to the patient's moods too.”
Since the doctor said so, Mrs. Lewis told the bodyguards to pack up while she and her husband went to
deal with the paperwork for
Duncan’s hospital release. Duncan, the tantrum thrower, was left in Liberty’s care.
Now that he could get out of the hospital, Duncan felt merry and quit whining. He sat in the living room
of his ward and quietly watched TV while waiting for his parents to handle the release documents so he
could go home.
Liberty sat next to him with something on her mind. Duncan kept an eye on her expression.
Out of the blue, he asked, “Is your ex-husband still alive?”
“He is.”
Duncan pursed his lips and commented, “He’s lucky.” Liberty fell silent before answering, “The doctor
said that he sustained severe injuries, and he isn’t out of the woods yet. He’s transferred to the ICU unit
for further evaluation. The doctors have tried their best, and it’s up to him now whether he can regain
consciousness.”
“What happened for the wretched couple to actually get violent with each other?”
Duncan’s tone of voice reflected sarcasm. He had witnessed Hank and Liberty’s journey before and
after the divorce. Hank was good to Jessica, and after what happened to Liberty, Hank would go to bat
for Jessica every time he came to visit Liberty.
Despite the incident involving his son’s safety, Hank still wanted to protect Jessica. It was enough to
say that Jessica was Hank’s true love.
“I don’t know. It happened so suddenly. Apart from the people involved, no one knows the reasonnovelbin
behind the attack.”
Duncan was without a word.
There was a knock on the door.
The door to the ward was pushed open.
“Mom, Dunc,” Sonny cheerfully greeted.
The sound of Sonny’s voice softened the tension on Duncan’s face.
“sonny.”
Liberty hugged her approaching son and turned to Zachary, who entered the room behind the boy.
Zachary explained, “Sonny said he missed Duncan and was hell-bent on coming to the hospital. Since
we were on the way, we just came here.”
“Duncan.”
Zachary drew near to his best friend. “How do you feel today?”
“Zachary, I can be released today. My parents went to get the procedure done. They are helping me to
pack up my things. I can leave the hospital at last. I’m really going to go crazy if I have to stay any
longer.”
Probably because he was allowed out of the hospital, Duncan did not give his best friend an attitude or
refuse Zachary from entering the ward.
Even though Duncan had refused to meet with anybody, Zachary and his other friends came and went
as they pleased since the day
Liberty forced her way into the ward. Every time Duncan made a face at them, Zachary would
challenge Duncan to stand up and kick them out on his own.
The anger tempted Duncan to jump to his feet and fight his best friend. Alas, he was physically
incapable of doing so.
