“Mom,” Clive and Elisa called out to Mrs. Stone.
Mr. Stone also disapproved of his wife’s staying. He said, “We can’t do anything by staying in the hospital. Let’s all go back to rest and take care of the things that haven’t been taken care of yet.”
“I’m worried!”
Mrs. Stone’s voice choked up right after she said that.
She was worried about her niece as much as Serenity was worried about her sister. She and Serenity were the same.
“Aunt Audrey, go home and rest. I’ll let you know as soon as my sister wakes up.”
Serenity helped to persuade Mrs. Stone to go home.
Mrs. Stone was gradually getting older, after all.
She finally left the hospital after everyone repeatedly persuaded her.
In the end, only Zachary, Serenity, and Duncan remained.
“Duncan, there are still many things you and Josh need to deal with together. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know once Liberty wakes up.” Zachary knew his good friend was also worried about his sister-in-law. He patted Duncan’s shoulder and said, “I’m counting on you and Josh to wrap things up.”
Duncan looked at the ICU ward. He wanted to be by Liberty’s side, but she was in the ward at the moment. Even Serenity could not take care of her sister, let alone him.
After a long silence, Duncan looked at Sonny again.
Sonny had fallen asleep in Serenity’s arms but was still subconsciously grabbing her shirt. What happened today was going to be a lifelong trauma for the three-year-old kid.
Duncan’s heart ached for Sonny.
