Chapter 1681
Liberty left the hospital and went to her breakfast diner.“Boss, you’re back!”The two shop assistants saw Liberty and greeted her. They looked at her and hesitated to speak.Liberty was distracted and did not notice their expressions.The diner was busy at this hour, so the two assistants went back to work thinking that they could talk about it with their boss later.Seeing their boss’s absent-minded expression, they figured Liberty was aware of the trending topic.Their boss’s sister was the young missus of Wiltspoon’s richest family, so the news would travel much faster to her than to them.Liberty sat down in front of the cash register, thinking about what Duncan said to her.Duncan got into a car accident, so Liberty was worried about him. However, he blamed her for his accident. Liberty thought, ‘I didn’t ask him to come over then. Why did he blame me?’“Liberty.”A familiar voice brought Liberty out of her thoughts.Liberty looked up and saw her sister sitting down

“I’m relieved that’s how you think now. Just know that Mr. Lewis doesn’t mean what he said to you, no matter how bad his attitude was. Don’t take it to heart.”Serenity and Zachary went to the hospital earlier, and Duncan’s father told the couple everything.She felt that Duncan did not mean to say whatever he said.Duncan was just worried that he would be crippled and wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life, so he did not want everyone to pity him.Liberty was silent for a while before saying, “I hope Mr. Lewis won’t give up on himself. I hope he’ll continue his rehabilitation after he gets discharged from the hospital. That way, he’ll recover soon.”“I’m sure he will.”Serenity looked at her sister.“Is there anything else you want to say to me?” Liberty asked.“Mr. Lewis’s car accident made headlines in Wiltspoon. Those people’s imaginations ran wild and dragged you into it.”Liberty was stunned for a moment. She then took out her phone and looked at the local news. She s

Grandma May stared at Duncan. “What? Did you lose all your confidence now that you’re lying here, so you’re pushing Liberty away?”Before Duncan could answer, Grandma May said, “Who do you think you are to Liberty that you can make arrangements for her? You should at least bring her into your world first before you have a chance to push her away.“I bet you haven’t even held her hands. You haven’t even started a relationship with her, so what makes you think you can arrange her life for her?“Does it hurt here?”Grandma May pressed on Duncan’s injured leg with a little force.“Ouch! Nana, it hurts!”Duncan was a tough guy, but he was now in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.He had been enduring the pain and did not make a sound.However, he could let down his guard in front of Grandma May.“It’s good that you can feel the pain. It proves that the nerves in your legs aren’t dead, so you won’t be paralyzed. Of course, it’ll take a long time for you to get back to nor

Grandma May got up and looked at Duncan for a moment. She sighed and walked out of the room.......At the Browns’ residence, Jessica was lying on the sofa, playing with her phone looking delighted.At this time, the door opened.Mrs. Brown and Chelsea came back.Jessica did not like Chelsea, her sister-in-law, because she thought Chelsea was shameless.Chelsea did not greet Jessica either. Jessica and Hank moved back into their newly renovated apartment since Liberty destroyed the previous renovation. Even after moving out of the rented apartment, they did not have any peace.Chelsea was not at all conscientious. She regarded their apartment as her second home and came whenever she pleased. She would come empty-handed and would leave with whatever she could find in the refrigerator.How shameless!Jessica quarreled with Chelsea many times because of this.Jessica thought that her husband’s family would treat her well when they found out she was pregnant, but that was just
Chapter 1685
Chelsea pointed fingers and cursed at Jessica. “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re pregnant with Hank’s child, I would’ve slapped you a long time ago! I don’t think Liberty is the jinx. You are!“How could you be so wicked to curse your own husband?! If it wasn’t for Hank, you’d still be in prison! He was the one who applied for a reprieve for you, but you cursed him to get into a car accident?!“What does Liberty have anything to do with Mr. Lewis’s accident? Liberty didn’t accept his feelings. He was the one who was going to see Liberty, and his mother chased after him. That’s why he got into an accident. The media is spouting nonsense. They deliberately dragged Liberty into it to attract more attention. How unprofessional!”Chelsea yelled back at Jessica in one breath.Jessica did not have a chance to speak even if she wanted to.Chelsea’s voice was so loud that the neighbors downstairs could hear her.However, the residents in this community had long regarded the Brown fa
Chapter 1686
Mrs. Brown was mad that Jessica cursed her grandchildren terribly just now.Upon seeing Jessica moan that her stomach ached, Mrs. Brown promptly went forward to hold Jessica and said nervously, “Quickly take a seat. Or you can return to your room and lie down.” “Mom, she’s lying. This is not her first time faking a tummy ache.”Chelsea did not believe that Jessica was having an ache in her abdomen.“Chelsea.”Mrs. Brown called her daughter’s name out before she assisted Jessica to the room and laid her on the bed. She noticed that Jessica’s face became swollen as a result of Chelsea’s slap. Worried that Hank would come into conflict with Chelsea when he saw this upon his return, Mrs. Brown said, “Jessica, I’m going to get ice and put it on your face.”Jessica touched her face without saying a word.Mrs. Brown went out to get her ice. Lying on the bed, Jessica was thinking about the life she was living. She felt so aggrieved that tears rolled down her face.Nevertheless, this
Chapter 1687
Mrs. Brown felt relieved. As she was speaking to Jessica, she brought her to the bed and laid her down.Jessica’s expression changed shortly. She gripped Mrs. Brown’s hand and said in fear, “Mom, my tummy hurts.”Upon hearing that, Mrs. Brown dashed outside and shouted, “Chelsea, quickly call an ambulance. Jessica is having a tummy ache.”Chelsea was eating an apple. As soon as she heard her mother’s shout, she walked over leisurely and leaned against the door of the room before she said, “Mom, she’s always saying that her stomach hurts. Don’t buy it. Calling an ambulance is a waste of medical resources. Let’s leave the service to other people who are in need.”“Jessica fell down just now!”Mrs. Brown roared, “Hurry up and call an ambulance.”It was only when Chelsea saw Jessica suffering on the bed did she trust that it was real. Chelsea swiftly rang for an ambulance.…At four in the afternoon, the sunlight was pale.All You Can Eat did not close in the afternoon like it usu
Chapter 1688
Of course, Chelsea firmly denied that the incident had something to do with her.It was karma that hit Jessica for being evil. Not only did Jessica claim that Liberty brought bad luck to her husband, but she also cursed Chelsea’s sons.Jessica’s baby was a boy. She only learned about it after the miscarriage. Mrs. Brown and Jessica were weeping bitterly.Chelsea was upset for some time, but she soon got over it. Jessica had only herself to blame for being spiteful. She cursed Chelsea’s sons, hoping that they would be stunted or meet with an accident. Indeed, an accident had happened, yet it happened to Jessica. Chelsea strongly believed that this was karma!“Liberty, you don’t know how spiteful Jessica is. She watched the news and found out that Mr. Lewis met with an accident. Those unethical media made false assumptions and mentioned you in the news. Jessica claimed that you brought bad luck to Mr. Lewis. She said Mr. Lewis was involved in the accident only because he was in
