Chapter 1778

Author: Gu Lingfei
“Are you Hank Brown’s family?”

“We are his parents, doctor. How is my son?” asked Mr. Brown anxiously as he propped his wife, who was weak in the knees, up toward the doctor.

The doctor replied, “The patient has sustained severe injuries. The surgery is successful, but he’s not out of the woods yet. We need to transfer him to the ICU for a while. It’s in his hands whether he will regain consciousness now.”

Mrs. Brown’s body went limp.

Unable to hold Mrs. Brown up, Mr. Brown worked together with Liberty to stop Mrs. Brown from falling.

“Save my son, doctor! Please save my son! He’s my only son. He’s young…”

Mrs. Brown grabbed the doctor’s lab coat and pleaded in tears.

“Mrs. Brown.”

Liberty pulled Mrs. Brown’s hands back before apologizing and thanking the doctor.

Showing an understanding of the family’s predicament, the doctor replied, “We have done all we can. We can’t be certain whether the patient will pull through, but please prepare yourselves for the worst.”

    Jessica was taken away by the police. She was supposed to face jail time, but she could serve her sentence out of prison with an ankle monitor because she was pregnant. Now that Jessica lost the baby and was involved in an armed assault with the intent to kill, the charges would only pile on. In the event Hank did not make it out alive, Jessica might not escape the death penalty following a retrial and the new charges. Liberty wanted to meet with Duncan and his mother at the entrance of the in-patient department, but Mrs. Lewis called and told her that they had returned to the ward. Hence, she made her way toward Duncan’s private ward. “You’re here, at last, Ms. Liberty. Mr. Duncan threw another fit. He’s smashing whatever things he can reach.” The Lewises’ bodyguard immediately informed Liberty of Duncan’s tantrum upon her arrival. “Why did he lose his temper again?” Liberty asked while entering the ward. The bodyguard answered, “We aren’t too sure. Mrs. Lewis brought Mr

    Duncan immediately hurried Liberty to handle the discharge paperwork. The doctor whined in his head, ‘The doctors and nurses have enough of your daily fuss anyway. The early discharge is not a big deal, so you can leave if you want to.’ The Lewises were wealthy, and they had their family doctors. The Lewis family would hire specialized care for Duncan when he got out of the hospital. “Doctor, is my son fine to be discharged?” Mrs. Lewis was worried that her son’s condition may worsen after the discharge. “Mr. Lewis can be released from the hospital if he wants to. He might feel better recuperating at home. The speed of recovery is linked to the patient’s moods too.” Since the doctor said so, Mrs. Lewis told the bodyguards to pack up while she and her husband went to deal with the paperwork for Duncan’s hospital release. Duncan, the tantrum thrower, was left in Liberty’s care. Now that he could get out of the hospital, Duncan felt merry and quit whining. He sat in the liv

    Zachary looked at Liberty and only started congratulating Duncan after seeing Liberty nodding her head in approval.“Congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital, Duncan. I came just at the right time to give you a ride home.”Duncan replied, “Now that I don’t need to be on an IV anymore, it doesn’t really matter where I lie down. Besides, I think my mood will improve if I get to rest at home instead of this rotten place.”He would never ever want to be hospitalized again if possible.“Feeling better now, Dunc?”Concerned, Sonny asked while walking over to Duncan.“I can finally be discharged from the hospital today.”Duncan pulled Sonny closer and picked him up. He wanted to sit Sonny down on his lap, but Sonny struggled to get down. The little guy said sensibly, “Your leg could hurt, Dunc. I can’t sit on your lap.”Liberty once mentioned that Duncan injured his legs and needed time to heal, so it would be best not to sit on his lap.Sonny remembered it we

    “It’ll be fine.”Zachary encouraged Duncan. “You’re a strong and confident person. Believe in yourself, Duncan. As long as you keep up with your rehabilitation, you will definitely recover. The doctor said your chances of recovery are high.”Duncan remained silent. The doctor said that there were chances of recovery, but he did not mention the certainty of Duncan’s full recovery.“Hang in there, Dunc!”Sonny could understand the ongoing conversation well. He waved abruptly at Duncan to cheer him up.Duncan patted Sonny’s head affectionately.Zachary said, “Liberty took over a restaurant and it’s currently being renovated. It’ll be back to normal soon as it is a simple renovation. Look how hard she’s working. You better not give up so easily.”“Is All You Can Eat closing?”Liberty had never talked about her business with Duncan before, nor had he ever asked.He thought it was impossible for him and Liberty to be together unless he could fully recover. Otherwise, he would never

    Zachary sighed and said, “Won’t you do your best in rehab and recover as soon as possible, for my sister-in-law’s sake? Are you really willing to watch her be taken away by another man?“If you really think that way, then I’ll tell my nana and have her introduce some good men suitable for Liberty to meet. If sparks fly, as Liberty’s family, Seren and I will make sure she gets married off grandly.”Duncan was pale around the gills.He cared about Liberty, very much so.When Hank had an accident and his life was in danger, Duncan was jealous knowing Liberty went to visit him. He made a fuss and demanded to be discharged early, just so that Liberty would not have to visit her ex-husband every day.Grandma May once said that there were a few outstanding men who were suitable for Liberty. If Duncan could really let go, Grandma May would have introduced Liberty to someone new.“Duncan, if you give up on something you haven't even tried yet, then you won't have any hope of succeeding.”

    Mrs. Brown pressed Sonny’s head against her chest, choking up as she spoke, “Yeah, Daddy will definitely get better. Sonny, daddy loves you very much. He knows you are here to see him, he’ll definitely get better.”Sonny snuggled in his grandmom’s arms. As a young child, he knew that his father loved him, but not as much as his mother did. He lost his trust in his father, who would abandon him just because Jess had a tummy ache.As Hank was lying motionless on the hospital bed, Sonny was sensible enough not to speak his mind.Ring, ring, ring…Liberty’s phone rang.It was a call from Serenity.She walked away to answer the phone.“Are you still in the hospital, Liberty?”“Yeah. I brought Sonny here to visit his father. Also, Mr. Lewis is going to be discharged from the hospital. We'll go back soon.”After Duncan got discharged from the hospital, Liberty thought that she did not need to go to his house and take care of him anymore.Duncan would mainly be in rehabilitation afte

    “Liberty, is Mr. Lewis being discharged from the hospital today?”Serenity asked her sister through the phone, “Didn’t you say that it would take a while for him to be discharged from the hospital?”“Mr. Lewis was making a fuss about wanting to be discharged. He did so from the very beginning, but the doctor always advised him against it. I wonder why it’s different today. The doctor said that he was good to go home. The doctor also said that he needs to rest for a while at home before he can start rehab.”Liberty sounded a bit helpless. “Mr. Lewis’s mood is as unpredictable as the weather in June.”Though, she could also understand where he was coming from; she would go crazy too if she had to lie down every day.“Now that there is no need for IV infusion, it’s not a big problem recuperating at home. I think it's better for him to go home. He can go out for a stroll in his wheelchair every day and breathe in some fresh air to improve his mood. I heard that a good mood speeds up recove

    With the hospital release paperwork all done, Duncan sat in a wheelchair while his bodyguard wheeled him downstairs. Having found out that Duncan was getting discharged, Duncan’s sister-in-law laid aside the matters at hand and hurried over to pick him up. Since there were a lot of people fussing over Duncan, and Duncan was under the bodyguards’ care, Liberty wanted to deal with her own stuff. She told Mrs. Lewis, “Mr. Lewis is getting out of the hospital, and you have a lot of people at home to look after him. I won’t go with you then. My newly acquired restaurant is under renovation now, so I want to check on it.” Mrs. Lewis wanted Liberty to come along to the house as Duncan would hold back a little on the tantrum when Liberty was around. Noticing the weariness across Liberty’s face, Mrs. Lewis felt bad and replied, “We can take care of Duncan, Liberty. Go on with your work, but don’t work too hard. The last few days must have been draining on you.” She took Liberty’s han

    “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.
