Female Novel
Chapter 2435
“Don’t rush yourself. Just take it easy. You have made great progress. Many people like you find it hard
to stand up on their own. You’re amazing that you can take a couple of steps. Don’t push yourself too
hard. Take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.”
Liberty wheeled him to the lawn and added, “You can try to walk on the grass. Even if you fall, it won’t
hurt as much.”
Back at the Lewises’ residence, Duncan usually practiced walking on grass too.
Duncan lifted his head and looked at her before uttering, “I will fall, and I won’t look good falling. Don’t
laugh at me, Liberty. Don’t feel sorry for me either. It’s the pain I have to go through to get better.”
Liberty knew he had a strong pride, so she nodded and replied, “I won’t laugh at you. If you feel my
presence here is giving you a lot of pressure, I can leave.”
“It’s okay. It gives me pressure and motivation when you are here. I will hang in there for you.”
If it was not for Liberty and to bring her happiness, Duncan would not have gotten a grip on himself so
quickly and tried to get back on his feet.
Maybe he would have given up on himself right after the accident.
At the time, Duncan was in despair, thinking he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
The first thing to go through his mind was that he did not want to burden Liberty. He tried to force
Liberty to stay away and even hate him.
Liberty did not stay away.
She said she did not love him and would not accept his feelings, but she was not heartless. Even if he
snapped at her and deliberately made things difficult for her, she still visited him at the hospital and
took care of him every day.
Liberty claimed to have received payment from his mother. Duncan knew that his mother wanted to paynovelbin
Liberty, but Liberty would not accept the money.
She was not a gold digger.
“You can do it, Mr. Lewis. You’re the best!”
Liberty cheered him on.
Duncan grinned. “Am I really the best?”
Liberty smiled. “ You’re the best to me and Sonny. Keep it up.”
Her bright smile gave Duncan confidence.
As he struggled to stand on his feet, Liberty reached out to help him, but she quickly withdrew her
arms.
He had to do it on his own.
Duncan’s legs were shaking when he stood up. He stood quietly for a moment before taking his first
step, then another. He stopped, his legs trembled, and his forehead beaded with sweat.
Liberty’s heart went out to him. She had to stop herself from helping him.
She believed that he could pull through and overcome all difficulties. It would start with taking the first
step, and then more gradually.
Duncan took another step. He wanted to continue without resting, but his legs gave way. His knees
buckled, and he fell to the ground.
It was a hard fall.
Liberty hurried over.
“Mr. Lewis.”
Duncan put his hand out to stop her from helping him up. He said, “I can do it. I have to do it myself.
You can’t help me.”
He was determined to see the rehabilitation to the end by himself with no help from others.
Standing in a corner, Liberty watched him take a rest on the ground for a while and climb to his feet.
His legs felt like jelly because he got up and fell back down before he could take another step.
“Why don’t you take a break, Mr. Lewis?”
Liberty felt for him.
Now, she could understand why even his mother, Corey, was not allowed around when Duncan was
doing his physiotherapy session.
It was not because Duncan felt embarrassed. He simply did not want those who cared about him to feel
sorry for him.
