Chapter 1774
During the first time Liberty wheeled Duncan out for some fresh air downstairs, Duncan realized that the people, who went in and out of the hospital, paid no mind that Duncan could not walk.
No one gave him looks of sympathy.
Death was frequent in the hospital.
Wheelchair-bound was nothing compared to death.
“Over here, Liberty.” With Liberty approaching, Mrs. Lewis stopped and beckoned at her.
Duncan tensed his facial muscles as if the world owed him.
While Liberty was talking with George, Duncan overheard that George was Liberty’s ex-husband’s brother-in-law.
He had a problem with it.
The Browns were everywhere.
Liberty either always ran into the Brown family, or the Browns would pester Liberty at All You Can Eat.
The divorce was more than six months ago.
What more did the Browns want? Did they think that Liberty would be unwanted after Hank? The Brown family sure thought Hank was all that.
Liberty’s previous weight never bothered Duncan, but he did think that Liberty should lose some weight as obesity could cause many health issues.
This was the reason Duncan was a busybody and requested Liberty to run around the office building when the latter was working for Lewis & Co.
His intention behind the request was to help Liberty strive for a healthier lifestyle.
It was not that he held Liberty’s weight against her.
It did not make a difference to Duncan now that Liberty had slimmed down in size.
He had no idea when he developed feelings for Liberty.
All he knew was that her size did not matter to him.
