Mrs. Lewis was silent on the other end of the line for a while before she asked, “Liberty is now awake and out of danger. When are you coming back? You must be tired after keeping watch the whole night in the hospital. Come home and rest.”
“Mom, I’m not tired. I can still hold on, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Mrs. Lewis wanted to lash out at her son.
Even so, she held back.
She did not say anything else and silently hung up the phone.
After his mom ended the call, Duncan put his phone back into his pocket and returned to the ward. He still stood outside the crowd and watched Liberty quietly.
Although Liberty was no more at risk, she was still very weak. The doctor did not allow too many family members to stay in the ward as it would disturb her rest. As such, everyone had to leave one after another after seeing her.
The last ones to stay in the hospital were Zachary, Serenity, and Duncan again.
Liberty went back to sleep and could sleep more soundly.
She was still alive, her son was well, and the bad guys were caught. She was completely at ease.
“Seren, now that Liberty is fine and is resting, you should rest on that bed with Sonny for a while.”
Zachary let Serenity take Sonny to rest on the bed reserved for family members on the side.
“You didn’t sleep well last night either. You have dark circles under your eyes.”
Serenity carried Sonny and sat on the edge of the bed to look at her sister. “I’m not sleepy. If you’re sleepy, you should rest.”
Zachary was helpless. He turned his head and saw his good friend. He patted Duncan’s shoulder and walked out of the ward with him.
