Chapter 801
Duncan shot Liberty an angry look before getting out of the car. He went into the restaurant and picked up the keys to lock the place up.
Back in the car, Duncan concentrated behind the wheel and asked, “What happened? You’re all over the place, and you look pale.”
“Jasmine called me to say something happened to Seren.”
Color washed off Liberty’s complexion further at the mention.
Her sister went to the bookshop to tidy up the place today. What could have happened?
Did a bookshelf topple over her sister?
There were a lot of books on the shelf. The weight of the bookshelf with the help of gravity falling on a person…
Liberty stopped herself from dwelling deeper into that scenario.
She was terrified.
What if something happened to her sister? What if her sister had an accident?
Liberty had lost her parents and only had her sister, growing up. If her sister…
Tears streamed down Liberty’s face.
Duncan asked with concern, “What happened to your sister?”
Since Serenity was his best friend’s wife, Duncan was rather worried about the situation.
“I don’t know. Jasmine didn’t say. All she told me was that something happened to Seren. She sounded flustered on the phone, so it must be something bad.”
Duncan said, “Hurry up and give Ms. Sox a call to get to the bottom of the situation. Don’t cry. You’re crying without knowing what the situation is. What if it isn’t what you think it is? That would be a waste of your tears.”
Liberty choked with sobs. “I can’t help myself… It brought me back to the time I was called out of the classroom by the teacher and told to go home. The community reached out to the school and told me to hurry home. I got home only to find my parents dead…
The day of her parents’ death was imprinted in Liberty’s mind for life.
