Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1507
Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.
After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his
expectation.
Zachary saw Duncan off.
“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”
“Liberty, let me accompany you.”
“I don’t need you to. I can walk around on my own. I’m fine. If it hadn’t been for the doctor who insisted on having me stay in the
hospital, I would’ve wanted to be discharged right now.”
She missed All You Can Eat.
“Listen to the doctor.”
Serenity said, “Stay in the hospital for a few more days. Once you’re discharged, you can’t return to the store and work straight
away. You need to have a good rest at home.”
“I’ve been lying on the hospital bed for nearly half a month. If I continue to do so after being discharged, my body will fall apart.
Once I’m out, I’ll keep an eye on the breakfast place and help. collect money without doing things on my own, okay? Don’t worry.
It’s my body. I’ll look after it.”
Serenity opened the insulated box and poured a bowl of soup for her sister.
“Liberty, are you going to drink the soup Mr. Lewis prepared?”
“How can I possibly drink so much? After Mr. Lewis walks further away, I’ll ask Mrs. Lane and the rest to drink it. They’ve been
taking care of me here every day. It’s not easy.”
Duncan put down the flowers and insulated box before he left. It was probably because he was worried that Liberty would
decline to drink his soup.

In fact, if Duncan had not left shortly, Liberty would have asked him to take the insulated box away.
Ever since Liberty knew that Duncan was interested in her, she wanted to keep a distance from him.
She did not feel like drinking Duncan’s soup. What was more, she could not drink so much.
She usually shared the soup she received with Mrs. Lane and the rest, or she would pour it.
Having gone through hardships in the past, she could not bear to waste the soup.
Liberty let Mrs. Lane drink it. This way, Mrs. Lane could improve her health and take care of Liberty better.
“Please let Zachary and Mr. Lewis know that I can’t drink too much of it. Ask Mr. Lewis to stop sending me soup. Anyway, I’ll let
Mrs. Lane and the rest drink the soup he sends over.”
Serenity hummed in acknowledgment.
“Seren, you may go to work. You don’t have to sit with me.”
While having breakfast, Liberty urged Serenity to go to work.
Helpless, Serenity had no choice but to reply, “Alright, alright. I’ll go to work. I just want to accompany you for two more minutes.
You’re always shooing me away. Liberty, you’re behaving like Mom. Mom used to hurry me a lot.”
When Serenity was young, her mother had to rush her several times before she did something. Sometimes, Serenity would only
do it after being nagged over ten times.
According to Serenity’s mother, Serenity was as lazy as a pig. She would only move after being rushed.
“It’s good that someone’s hurrying you. You should treasure it.”
Serenity walked toward her sister’s back and hugged her emotionally. Then, she said with a smile,” That’s true. I like how you
nag beside my ear and urge me to do things. This is a blessing.”
When Serenity was younger, she was annoyed by how her mother would always hurry her.
After losing her parents, she wished she could hear her mother say, “Lazybones, hurry up. I’ve told you hundreds of times to do
it, yet you’re not moving a muscle.”

“Liberty, promise me that you’ll take good care of yourself.”
“Mm, I will. I’m still young. I don’t want to die. I won’t bear to part with you and Sonny.”
Liberty laughed and added, “Stop behaving like a spoiled child. Hurry up and go to work.”
Serenity withdrew her hand from Liberty and reminded her about something before walking out of the ward.
Zachary just returned after seeing Duncan off.
“Why don’t you spend more time with your sister?”
Upon seeing that his wife came out, Zachary did not return to the ward.
“I wanted to, but my sister shooed me away. She wanted me to go to work and said that she didn’t. need me to accompany her.”
Zachary held her hand.
“Liberty didn’t want to interrupt our work. Let me send you back to your store, okay?”
“Don’t you need to attend the morning meeting?”
