Chapter 1669

Author: Gu Lingfei
Liberty thanked Zachary.

Zachary said, “We’re family, Liberty. You don’t have to be so courteous.”

He even feared that she would not accept his help.

Luckily, she was rushing to move places and took up his offer.

With her brother-in-law’s assistance, Liberty moved out of her apartment quickly while Zachary left work to accompany Duncan for drinks.

Aside from Zachary and Serenity, no one knew Liberty’s new address. She did not inform Aunt Audrey either.

Meanwhile, in a hotel’s private room, a table was filled with dishes Duncan ordered along with many bottles of strong liquor.

At that moment, Zachary and Josh were by his side, watching him down one glass of alcohol after another.

“Eat something, Duncan.”

Zachary took some salad for him. Maybe he felt guilty toward his best friend because he had taken his sister-in-law’s side.

He wished he could help Duncan, but his sister-in-law did not love Duncan at all. Moreover, Mrs. Lewis was stubborn in opposing the relationship.

    Serenity did not say a word. Among the people around her, only Jasmine’s relationship was smooth sailing without a hitch. Josh and Jasmine tied the knot very quickly. Elisa’s love and her sister’s second chance at love had many obstacles. Serenity was considered lucky. Although she and Zachary had conflicts, silent treatments, and even almost got divorced, they understood, respected, and trusted each other in the end. They had been living a blissful life since then. Serenity cherished everything she had at the moment. Zachary regulated his emotions quickly. He said softly, “Sleep, honey. Don’t overthink. Let’s go with the flow.”Serenity hummed in agreement. They slept in each other’s embrace soundly throughout the night. Duncan woke up the next afternoon. He slept long enough that he did not have a bad headache but just hunger after waking up. When he realized it was already noon, he got up immediately and showered. After changing into clean clothes, he went downsta

    It was not Mrs. Lewis who had rear-ended the car in front of hers, but Duncan who hit a lorry from behind. Although the vehicle behind Duncan slammed on the brakes, it still rear-ended Duncan’s car. Mrs. Lewis was not involved in the collision as she stepped on the brakes in time. After parking her car, Mrs. Lewis immediately unfastened her seat belt and opened the door to get out. Mr. Lewis had not registered what transpired. He had been trying to persuade his wife to stop chasing after their son. “Honey.”“Duncan’s car rear-ended another vehicle.”Mrs. Lewis dropped the bomb on her husband and ran forward. She passed the sedan in front of her. That car collided with Duncan’s car, and its bumper was damaged. The person in the car was motionless, probably due to shock. The condition of Duncan’s car was far worse. Almost the entire hood of his car was buried under the lorry due to the collision, and only the trunk was left visible from the outside. Duncan was hurt and unco

    Duncan would go looking for Liberty every day at her apartment. Zachary calculated the time and thought Duncan would wake up at noon, look for Liberty, and realize she had moved. In the end, the news Zachary received was that Duncan had gotten into a car accident. “Where did the accident happen? Was he the one who crashed into someone or the other way round? How’s his condition?”When Zachary received Josh’s call, he was on his way to Wiltspoon School to have lunch with his beloved wife.Jasmine could not be at the bookstore that day. Josh was afraid that she was worn out because she had been operating the bookshop all evening yesterday. To be honest, she was not tired at all. However, since the doting husband insisted she was exhausted, then exhausted she was.He did not let Jasmine head out that day. Jasmine, who was already treated like a national treasure at the Buchams’ house, had no choice but to listen and stay home. She would occasionally be on video calls with her fri

    After some hesitation, Zachary told Serenity the truth.“Seren, I’m not going over anymore. If the food has been delivered, you can dig in first. I… I’m at the hospital. Duncan met with an accident.”Upon hearing the news, Serenity’s expression changed. She quickly asked, “How did it happen? Did it occur when you two were together? Did you both drink and drive again?”Zachary explained, “No. We didn’t drink today. That was yesterday. All of us didn’t drive. I still don’t know what happened. I came to the hospital right after Josh informed me. Duncan’s still in the emergency room. They say his legs were injured the worst, and it’s uncertain whether they can be saved.”Toward the end, his tone turned heavy, and his speech slowed. He sounded sad. “I’m done with my work now. I’ll head to the hospital after closing the store.”Zachary did not stop his wife from coming over. He reminded her, “Drive slowly.”“I’ll have a bodyguard drive. Don’t worry. Mr. Lewis is a good person. He’ll

    “I’ll bring him with me.”Liberty could not find anyone to babysit Sonny at that moment. Therefore, she was taking Sonny to the hospital with her. She hung up, carried her son, and started walking. As she walked, she told her son, “Sonny, we must go to the hospital now. Dunc got into an accident. We’re going to visit him.”“How’s Dunc? Nothing will happen to him, right?”Upon hearing that Duncan had gotten into a car accident, Sonny imagined lots and lots of blood. His small face turned pale instantly. Liberty’s bloody figure back when she was stabbed traumatized Sonny. He would feel dizzy when he saw lots of blood. “Dunc will be fine.”Liberty reassured her son and herself. Sonny hugged her neck tightly. He hoped Dunc would be okay and not bleed so much as Mom did. In the hospital, the number of people waiting outside the emergency room grew. When Serenity and Liberty arrived, Zachary’s bodyguards brought some food as instructed. He asked everyone to eat something fi

    Mrs. Lewis’s body swayed. Two of her daughters-in-law quickly supported her. “Mom.”They exclaimed worriedly. “Duncan out of the woods is a good start. He’ll recover eventually.”Mrs. Lewis hit her chest out of remorse. She said guiltily, “It’s my fault. I caused his misfortune. Why wasn’t I the one who got into an accident? I’d rather it be me in the accident.”If Duncan became disabled…Mrs. Lewis did not dare to think about what would come after. “Mom, Duncan will get better. The doctor said he can recover.”Emmett consoled his mother. Mr. Lewis’s expression was grim. He told his sons and daughters-in-law, “Take your mother to rest. I’ll watch over Duncan.”“I’m not leaving. I won’t leave. I want to wait for Duncan to come out and take care of him.”Mrs. Lewis refused to leave. Her son’s operation had ended, but he was not out of the emergency room yet. She was worried. He had gotten into such an unfortunate accident because she had been extreme as a mother. How c

    Josh was considerate not to smoke because his wife was pregnant.“What happened, Mr. Lewis? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that it was her fault for what happened to Duncan?” Zachary asked in a low voice.Josh also looked at Mr. Lewis, waiting for him to tell them the truth.“Sigh… It’s our fault. Duncan went out drinking yesterday. After you sent him home, Duncan didn’t answer Corey’s call, so she called the housekeeper only to find out that Duncan was drunk. This morning, Corey insisted on going to his house, so I went with her.“Duncan only woke up at noon. He saw us at his place and quarreled with Corey again shortly after. Duncan didn’t want to get into a row with his mother, so he got up and left.”Derek recalled the scene at that time. If he knew that it would cause Duncan’s accident, he would have dragged Corey back with every ounce of his strength.As Duncan’s father, he felt he did not do well in persuading Corey to be more open-minded, which caused the conflict between the mot

If he persuaded Duncan to give up, Duncan would think that he was not a good friend. On the other hand, if he persuaded Liberty to accept Duncan, he would feel like he was pushing his sister-in-law into a fire pit.Zachary felt that his relationship with Serenity was not as difficult as Liberty and Duncan’s.Duncan discovered his feelings for Liberty when she was injured. Liberty fully recovered after around three months. This was the duration t

    “A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h

    “All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

    It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

    Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
