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.
