Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

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 in front of her. She was so preoccupied that she did not even notice Serenity
walking in earlier.
“Seren, don’t you need to go back to the bookstore?”
“Jas is there. I’ll go to the office with Elisa later since Jas is pregnant and shouldn’t be out and about too much. That’s why she’s
staying in the store to help out.”
Josh did not want Jasmine to go to work, but Jasmine said that if he did not let her go to the bookstore, she would follow Serenity
to the vegetable farm.
Josh had no choice but to allow Jasmine to look after the bookstore every day.

Staying at the bookstore was not tiring, and they had bodyguards to help them move any boxes if
needed.
“Elisa isn’t here yet?”
Liberty looked behind her sister but did not see her cousin, so she enquired.
“I just called her. She’s not up yet, so I told her I’d wait for her at your place.”
Serenity looked at the dark circles under her sister’s eyes and asked with concern. “You didn’t sleep well last night? You left so
early this morning”
When Serenity and Zachary got up, Liberty was not at home. Serenity asked the housekeeper, who
told her that Liberty had left the house early.
Serenity guessed that Liberty had gone to the hospital to visit Duncan.
Although Liberty did not have feelings for Duncan, they knew each other for nearly a year. Duncan also helped Liberty a lot, so
Liberty regarded Duncan as a friend.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I might as well wake up. I went to the hospital to visit Mr. Lewis, but he... He blamed me for his car accident
and told me to leave. He even told Mrs. Lewis not to let me into the ward again.”
Liberty said in a low voice, “Is it my fault that he liked me?”
“Liberty...”
Serenity stretched out her hand to hold her sister’s hand and said softly, “Don’t overthink it. Mr. Lewis just found out about the
extent of his injuries and couldn’t accept it for the time being. That’s why he said something so harsh. He didn’t just refuse to see
you, but Zachary and I too...
“Both of us went to see him earlier, but he refused to let us into his room. He even told his bodyguards to come over and stand
guard at the door of the ward. That way, no one could enter without his permission.”
Liberty was a little taken aback. She asked, “Mr. Lewis didn’t even want to see Zachary?”

Serenity nodded and said, “He probably thinks that we pity him and doesn’t want our sympathy. We’re not pitying him. We’re just
caring about him.
“Mr. Lewis is a proud man. When he found out about his injuries after the accident, he was worried he would be disabled and
would be wheelchair–bound for the rest of his life. He couldn’t accept it. and thought all of us sympathized with him. I can
understand why he thinks that way.”
Liberty sighed. “I guess Mr. Lewis thought the same about me.”
Those hurtful words that Duncan said were not his true feelings.
Liberty was very hurt when she heard it, but after she calmed down and thought about it, she knew that it was not Duncan’s true
feelings.
