Chapter 1709

“Duncan,” said Mrs. Lewis.

She asked Liberty to come and take care of her son.

Mrs. Lewis felt bad now that Liberty was left standing outside.

Duncan closed his eyes, refusing to talk.

There was nothing Mrs. Lewis could do about it.

The cold sweat dripping from her son’s forehead gave Mrs. Lewis great distress.

She grabbed a tissue and dabbed the sweat off her son.

“I know that you still have feelings for Liberty, Duncan.Why do this to yourself?” Duncan kept his eyes closed and his mouth shut.

He was more upset than anyone else to leave Liberty out in the cold, and the heartache was hard to bear.

Still, Duncan did not want Liberty to see him like this.

Liberty did not fall in love with him when he was in the best health.

There were lesser chances of Liberty ever falling for him now that he was crippled.

The only feelings he would get from her were pity.

Seeing that her son was not in the mood to talk, Mrs. Lewis did not pursue the subject further.

After a brief silence, Mrs. Lewis rose to her feet and went out.

She gently opened the door and saw Liberty standing outside.

“Is Mr. Duncan alright, Mrs. Lewis?” Liberty had overheard all the fuss in the ward from outside.

Mrs. Lewis then shut the door to the ward and pulled Liberty to sit on a chair.

She sighed and said, “Don’t take it to heart, Liberty.He's...He’s okay.He fell from the bed, and we carried him back up.” Sigh! Duncan’s legs must hurt even more to fall from bed with that injury.

Liberty’s heart went out to Duncan just thinking about what had happened.
