Chapter 1507
Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.
After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his expectation.
Zachary saw Duncan off.
“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”
“Liberty, let me accompany you.”
“I don’t need you to. I can walk around on my own. I’m fine. If it hadn’t been for the doctor who insisted on having me stay in the hospital, I would’ve wanted to be discharged right now.”
She missed All You Can Eat.
“Listen to the doctor.”
Serenity said, “Stay in the hospital for a few more days. Once you’re discharged, you can’t return to the store and work straight away. You need to have a good rest at home.”
“I’ve been lying on the hospital bed for nearly half a month. If I continue to do so after being discharged, my body will fall apart. Once I’m out, I’ll keep an eye on the breakfast place and help. collect money without doing things on my own, okay? Don’t worry. It’s my body. I’ll look after it.”
Serenity opened the insulated box and poured a bowl of soup for her sister.
“Liberty, are you going to drink the soup Mr. Lewis prepared?”
“How can I possibly drink so much? After Mr. Lewis walks further away, I’ll ask Mrs. Lane and the rest to drink it. They’ve been taking care of me here every day. It’s not easy.”
Duncan put down the flowers and insulated box before he left. It was probably because he was worried that Liberty would decline to drink his soup.
In fact, if Duncan had not left shortly, Liberty would have asked him to take the insulated box away.
Ever since Liberty knew that Duncan was interested in her, she wanted to keep a distance from him.
She did not feel like drinking Duncan’s soup. What was more, she could not drink so much.
She usually shared the soup she received with Mrs. Lane and the rest, or she would pour it.
Having gone through hardships in the past, she could not bear to waste the soup.
Liberty let Mrs. Lane drink it. This way, Mrs. Lane could improve her health and take care of Liberty better.
