Chapter 1713
Duncan took a deep breath and another to stop himself from blowing up.
It did not matter to Liberty whether he was angry or not.
Liberty sat by the bed undisturbed as Duncan pounded the bed and demanded that she leave.
He was steamed up while she remained calm and watched him make a fool of himself.
Duncan had his pride.
He did not want to embarrass himself in front of Liberty like that again.
“Liberty.” Duncan’s dark eyes locked on Liberty.
Hiding his feelings behind his eyes, he coldly uttered, “You have seen how I am now.
I don’t need your help.
You can leave.” Liberty drew close and sat on a chair next to the bed before looking at him with a smile.
She had slimmed down and looked as beautiful as she was before entering her last marriage.
Her smile was pretty and soothing, easing the fury in Duncan.
“Mr. Lewis, are your hearing and comprehension fine?” Liberty asked.
With a stern face, Duncan answered, “I’m covered in injuries, but they do not affect my hearing and comprehension.” While all the other injuries were healing well, the pain in his legs was killing him.
“Great.
I was thinking of getting extra for my services if you have problems hearing and understanding me.
I told you that your mother hired me to look after you.
You can see me as the caretaker.
“Mis. Lewis is paying me a daily rate of ten thousand dollars.
It’s an eight-hour job with no night shifts.
I will leave when I’m off work, you won’t need to tell me twice.
Mrs. Lewis will just dock my pay if I leave now.
