Married At First Sight Chapter 1381
Chapter 1381
“No.”
Camryn faintly added. “I’m never included in whatever discussion they have.”
She picked up her cane. Her cane had been lying in her mother’s bedroom since the latter kicked it away the other night. The following day, the maid returned the cane to Camryn.
Camryn was told that the cane was found in front of her mother’s bedroom door.
She assumed that her mother had thrown her cane out.
Camryn handed the cane to Callum. Thinking Camryn was going to hit him on the head with the cane, Callum reached out to grab the cane. However, Camryn loosened her grip.
It then hit Callum.
She was trying to pass the cane to him.
“The inside of my cane is hollow. A voice recorder is hidden inside,” said Camryn in an unfluctuating tone.
Callum’s dark eyes sparkled as his opinion of her began to change. He stopped the teasing.
He held the cane high for a look and flicked on the wood. He managed to pry open a hollow spot and shake it to deliver a voice recorder from inside.
“The villa is meant to be mine, but I still don’t have control of my house. It’s not a safe place despite it being my home. Although Spring Blossoms is my business, the incoming and outgoing human traffic makes it risky. I thought about it, and I believe the safest place is with you.”
That was the reason Camryn had no complaints and came here with her cane when Callum called her to make the floral delivery.
She chose to be truthful to Callum, displaying her taking the first step in trusting him.
No matter what, Callum had saved her life before.
She believed she could count on him.
Regardless of Callum’s reasons to approach her, he was one of the two she could trust.
The other person she had trust in was Serenity.
“What did you capture on tape?
“How long did you have the voice recorder in the cane for?”
Camryn fell silent for a while before answering, “I secretly hid the voice recorder in the cane when she wanted to take me to the event. I don’t know what’s recorded on tape because I haven’t got the guts to take the recorder out at home and in the shop.”
Callum fixated his gaze on tier for a long time until a question popped out. “What do you know?”
“I just think my dad died under suspicious circumstances, but he passed when I was only two. I didn’t know anything until I overheard something. I wanted to collect evidence in the dark, but I fell ill before anything materialized. I was blind after that.”
Without a word, Callum turned on the voice recorder.
It started with a conversation between the mother and daughter.
Mrs. Newman was tearing into Camryn.
The talk between Mr. Newman and Mrs. Newman later came on. It was on the night after the event was over when Callum saved and drove Camryn home.
The couple had no scruples talking in the privacy of their room.
Mrs. Newman mentioned that the master bedroom was soundproof, so unless there was someone hiding in their bedroom, no one could listen to their conversation within the four walls.
The couple’s conversation was recorded merely because Mrs. Newman kicked Camryn’s cane in her bedroom.
After listening to what was caught on tape, Camryn turned pale.
Her suspicion from ten years ago was true.
They had something to do with her father’s death!
Married At First Sight Chapter 1382
Chapter 1382
Mr. and Mrs. Newman wanted to wipe Camryn off the face of the earth because she was suspicious about her father’s death. Camryn was a nobody in the Newmans’ residence anyway. No one would bother investigating her cause of death even if Camryn had a terminal illness.
Camryn would have died in her mother’s hands ten years ago if her aunt did not drop in for a visit and taken Camryn to the hospital.
Of course, Callum and Camryn heard about Mr. and Mrs. Newman’s talks about getting Callum to marry Camryn.
Callum watched as Camryn sat in silence.
Camryn clasped her hands together without a word for a long time.
Although she had suspected her father’s death had to do with Mr. and Mrs. Newman, it was all speculation she made in her head as there was no proof.
Now that she got it from the horses’ mouths, her mind was blank, and her limbs felt cold.
Camryn could not wrap her head around why her father’s wife and brother would want him dead. Had the affair between Mr. and Mrs. Newman been going on from the start?
Her mother could have opted for a divorce if there was cheating involved.
“What do you plan on doing?” Callum suddenly asked.
Unable to bear the discoloration on her face, Callum went to pour her a glass of water.
Camryn downed the drink.
“Mr. Callum, do you think the voice recording is enough to nail them?”
Callum replied, “It’s hard because they can argue and say it was said out of rage. They can question the validity of your voice recording, but it will be the smoking gun when paired with other evidence. Do you have anything else on them?”
Camryn shook her head.
She was only two when her father died.
What would she know?
As far as she could remember, her childhood was filled with abuse from her mother and sister, as well as confusion. It was beyond Camryn why her mother could not love her even though she was her mother’s daughter too. Mrs. Newman never held her or spoke tenderly to her.
Camryn gradually grew numb, no longer pining for her mother’s love.
All she wanted to do was study and leave the home once she was able to.
Camryn would never have suspected a thing if it were not for the rumor that her father died an unnatural death.
It then dawned on her why her mother could not love her. It prompted Camryn to dig further and
collect evidence. Alas, she was too hasty back then.
Camryn was only sixteen at the time, and her mother and stepfather had her in the palm of their hands. It was reckless to think she could go behind their backs.
They really put a hit on her.
Maybe it was a good thing Camryn lost her sight. It did not matter that the hospital saved her because she would not survive if her aunt did not take her away.
Her aunt wanted to, but her mom refused.
The wicked woman said the aunt was out of line to try and replace Mrs. Newman’s role as a mother.
Camryn had to be a blind nobody since she could not leave the house.
“I don’t have other proof.”
Camryn uttered in a soft voice, “I tried to collect evidence ten years ago, and it came at the cost of my sight. I found nothing in return. All I felt was their cruelty.
“Serenity told me that my priority is getting my eyesight back. I can continue to find proof once I can see again. Serenity is suggesting not to let my family know when I can see.”
The handicap of being blind was a convenience to collect evidence.
“Can you see again with a corneal transplant?”
“My blindness is caused by drugs. My aunt took me for an examination before, and the doctor mentioned that a corneal transplant wouldn’t show much effect. I had a lot of doctors examine me, but only one whose treatment was working. Nevertheless, the doctor passed away. I can only see a bit of light, but everything else is still a blur.”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1383
Chapter 1383
Callum looked into Camryn’s eyes for a while before uttering, “Serenity is right. You should get your eyes fixed first if you want to collect evidence. I’ll keep the voice recorder safe for you here so it doesn’t fall into their hands. It’ll only put you in danger.”
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
Camryn never thought about asking for the voice recorder back.
As Callum put it, Camryn might lose her life over the voice recorder.
“I’m going to play along if they plan on using me to save that sister of yours. Do you have a problem with that?”
Camryn looked confused.
“What do you mean by ‘play along”?”
“Your stepfather wants me to marry you. They must think I’m not for it and will use it as leverage to get your sister out of jail. Well, they have another thing coming.”
Callum was a proud member of the York family. He was not one to be messed with.
Mr. and Mrs. Newman must be desperate to try anything.
They adored Carrie so much.
“What do you think about me marrying you?”
“Huh?” Camryn was stunned.
“It’s hard to collect evidence on your own. I can get easy access in and out of the Newmans’ residence when I marry you and become part of the family. That way, I can help you gather proof. One day, they will be brought to justice, and I can avenge my father-in-law.”
Callum believed his father-in-law must be rolling over in his grave since the latter’s brother slept with his wife and abused his daughter. One night, his father-in-law would come back to haunt Mr. Newman.
As the son-in-law, Callum had the duty to help in avenging his father-in-law.
Camryn was speechless.
She was at a total loss for words.
Meanwhile, it was soon closing time at Liberty’s diner at around ten o’clock; time to tidy up.
After the last batch of customers left, Liberty and her two employees cleaned up the place.
While she was busy, her clingy ex-husband appeared on site.
Hank was with Jessica as always.
With their wedding date around the corner, Hank and Jessica showed up together unless Hank was out driving an Uber.
“Liberty, where’s Sonny?”
It was the first thing Hank asked when he stepped into the diner.
“I want to take Sonny to try out a suit,” Hank stated his intention.
Liberty stopped wiping down the stove and gazed up at her ex-husband. She faintly said, “Didn’t I tell you Sonny’s size? You can rent him a tux or get him a new one with the size.”
There was no need to take Sonny with him.
She gave Jessica a few glances.
Jessica had no qualms jumping in, “Sonny should pick what he likes, Liberty. Our taste as adults might be different than the kids’.”
She added, “Hank and I are just taking Sonny out to try on some clothes. We’ll deliver Sonny right back to you after that. You’re cleaning up. We’ll be back around the same time you’re done.
“It doesn’t take long. The formal wear rental place isn’t far from here. It’s a ten-minute drive.” Echoing his wife’s thoughts, Hank said, “Are you trying to take time away from me and Sonny, Liberty? Sonny is my son too. We had an agreement that I can meet with Sonny whenever I want.
“I’m not saying I won’t bring Sonny back. He’s only going to pick an outfit as the flower boy. Didn’t you talk to Sonny about it? I’ll talk to him if you haven’t. There’s nothing I can’t share with my son. “You’re refusing visitation if you’re not letting me take Sonny for a fitting. It’s a violation of the agreement. I can go to court and fight for Sonny’s custody.”
Even though there was a possibility Hank could not win, he was glad so long as he could annoy and drive Liberty crazy.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1384
Chapter 1384
Hank’s mental state was heading in an unhealthy direction as things got better for Liberty in life.
He could not help but make Liberty jump through hoops.
For example, Hank could buy a mini suit for their son, but with Jessica egging him on, Hank believed Liberty was deliberately driving a wedge between him and his son. Liberty refused to let him see his son.
Hence, Hank insisted on taking Sonny to try out clothes.
He made a huge fuss the moment Liberty disagreed with him.
“Where’s Sonny? Where did you hide him?”
Hank looked around the breakfast diner, but his son was nowhere to be found.
“Did you hide Sonny at Serenity’s place?”
That was not right. Serenity’s bookshop was closed for two days.
He had been to the bookshop.
“Sonny is in a class. He’ll be back soon.”
Liberty faintly added, “I’m not stopping you from meeting with Sonny, Hank. If you really want to take Sonny along, then fine. I’m almost done anyway. I’ll go with you when Sonny is finished with his class.”
Jessica quietly gave Hank a tug, stopping Hank from giving his further two cents. Jessica uttered, “Are you sure you want to go, Liberty? I have not picked my wedding gown. I might need. your opinion on a few things.”
She wanted Liberty to witness her being Hank’s beautiful bride in a lovely white dress.
It would only upset Liberty.
“I only care about my son.”
Liberty could not be bothered to give Jessica the time of day.
It was not hard to guess what was on Jessica’s mind, and it amused Liberty to no end.
Liberty made a great decision to divorce a man like Hank at the earliest possible.
It was not as though Jessica was in the dark about Hank and the Browns’ qualities. Still, she was determined to have a wedding with Hank. Well, she would regret it someday.
“What sort of class is Sonny taking? Did you enroll him in a kindergarten already?” Hank questioned.
Liberty continued cleaning. “Zachary hired a self-defense instructor for Sonny. He’s learning the basics in the gym. His kindergarten will start in September.”
“Who’s paying?”
Hank believed that it was wise for boys to learn how to fight.
All that mattered to him was the person footing the bill.
Liberty did not cast him a glance. “Not you anyway.”
“I only cover the child support, and I paid you a year in advance. You agreed that you won’t seek me for other expenses. I’m not paying, and I’m putting my foot down.”
Business as an Uber driver was slow. It could not be compared to the quick bucks he earned from his side job when he was a manager. Now that his income was low, Hank attached a lot of importance to money.
Besides, he had a wedding and honeymoon coming up. Both occasions required a lot of money. If only he had more.
It was a good thing Jessica was hell-bent on spending the rest of her life with him. Hank saved a lot for the financial gift to her parents.
Hank pulled Jessica to sit down at a table as they waited for his son’s return. They could then bring his son to try out a suit.
As for Liberty tagging along, she was free to do so.
He was curious about Liberty’s expression when she saw his new bride trying out wedding gowns. Liberty was only going for the safety of her son.
She did not think Hank would do anything to her son, but Jessica was a suspect. Liberty did not feel easy leaving Sonny alone with the couple. Who knew if anything were to happen?
Paying no attention to the couple, Liberty cleaned the place up and was about to remove her apron when Jim arrived to drop Sonny off.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1385
Chapter 1385
“Mom.”
Sonny came running in his gym uniform.
“Sonny, you’re back.”
With a smile, Liberty went up and picked her son up.
“How was it? Do you feel tired? Did you cry?”
Sonny shook his head. “I didn’t cry, but I do feel tired.”
“Oh, you’re tired. Let me kiss your tiredness away. You must stick to the classes.” Liberty was concerned that her son could not keep up with the workout. She gave her son a kiss and reminded him to hang on so as not to disappoint Zachary after all he did for Sonny.
Sonny was exhausted and tempted to quit, but his uncle’s words were imprinted in his mind. By taking up the art of self-defense, he no longer had to be afraid of bad guys. He could also protect his mother.
He wanted to be the manly man and shield his mom from all harm.
Sonny gave a firm nod. “I will stick to the class, Mom.”
Jim entered the diner too.
“Ms. Hunt.”
He said hello to Liberty.
“Thank you, Jim.”
Jim smiled. “Don’t mention it, Ms. Hunt.”
It was his duty to drop off and pick up Sonny from the lessons.
Seeing that Hank and his wife were in the diner, Jim’s internal alarm bells were ringing. He could report back to duty with Mr. Zachary after sending Sonny back, but now he was no longer in a rush to leave-he had to keep an eye on Hank and Jessica.
“Sonny.”
Hank got up and approached the boy.
He smiled and put his hands out toward his son. “Come and give me a hug, Sonny.”
Liberty put her son down.
Hank then scooped Sonny in his arms.
“Are you here to see me, Dad? I went to a class today, and William taught me how to fight. I took the lesson seriously, but it was so tiring.”
It tickled Hank that the little man acted like a mini adult.
The fact that his son loved to cry was the only thing that stuck in his mind in the past. Sonny’s cries annoyed Hank.
Oh, Sonny used to throw his toys around the house too.
Now that his son was getting older and more sensible, Hank finally saw the cuteness and wit in Sonny. He had thoughts of getting Sonny’s custody now.
On second thought, Hank gave up on the idea.
Sonny would benefit a lot from Serenity and her husband if Sonny was left with Liberty. Hank bet that Serenity and her husband would not give a lot to Sonny should Hank have custody of the boy. It was not worthwhile.
Although Liberty got full custody of Sonny, Hank would always remain Sonny’s father.
This would never change.
The bond between father and son would not go so long as Hank came often to spend time with Sonny. Sonny would not forget his father when he was all grown up and made it big in the world.
Hank complimented Sonny.
Jessica came over to play with Sonny.
Nevertheless, Sonny merely glanced at Jessica without saying a word to her.
The little guy had no idea why his parents were separated, but he did not like Jessica. Although the lady may be nice and kind to him, Sonny could not take to her. He had a feeling that her kindness was fake.
She got nothing on scary Dunc.
Dunc looked mean but had the kindest heart.
“Sonny, I’m about to have a wedding with Jessica. Can you be our flower boy?” Hank asked.
Confused, Sonny asked, “What’s a flower boy, Dad?”
Hank explained to Sonny.
Sonny turned to his mother and asked, “Can I be Dad’s flower boy, Mom?”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1386
Chapter 1386
“It’s up to you whether you want to do it. Don’t be scared to speak your mind if you don’t want to.”
Liberty did not want to force her son. She respected his choices.
Tilting his head, Sonny looked at his dad and contemplated for a while before asking, “Is my mom going?”
“Yes. Didn’t I give your mom an invitation the last time?”
“Oh.” Sonny bobbed his head. “Okay, Dad. I’ll do it.”
Hank smiled. He knew his son was close to him and would be happy to be his flower boy.
“Should we go pick an outfit then?”
Sonny turned to his mother once more.
Hank had to tell Liberty, “We should hurry if you want to come along.”
Paying Hank no mind, Liberty turned off the electricity and checked if the stove was off. With all that confirmed, she let the two workers knock off and said to Jim, “Jim, you can return. I’m going with Sonny to pick out a suit for him.”
Sonny had his lesson in the morning. The class in the afternoon was not necessary.
He was young, so William did not want to take a full day of training from the get-go. Sonny might. not be able to take it and would give up in tears.
Just a step at a time.
Although Sonny was not endowed with the qualities of a natural fighter, he could earn enough skills to protect himself if he persisted in the training.
Since Liberty was tagging along on the trip, Jim was relieved. He then took off.
Jessica was glad that Liberty and her son would be without security. The plan today could go on with a chance of success.
Liberty closed the diner and took her son from her ex-husband. She faintly said, “You and your wife can lead us in the front. I’ll drive with Sonny in the back.”
Hank took notice of a car parked outside the diner when he arrived. He thought it belonged to someone else.
It was only now he realized it was Liberty’s.
“When did you get a new car?”
“Two days ago.”
Hank stole a few glances at Liberty’s new ride. He felt better, knowing it was the cheap type.
He would probably turn green with envy if Liberty drove a car worth several hundred thousand dollars.
As per Liberty’s instruction, Hank led the drive with Liberty following behind him in another vehicle.
Duncan, Zachary, and Josh received the news when Liberty and her son set out with Hank and his wife.
Clive was a tad slow in getting the update.
They had informed their people to follow Liberty and Sonny in the dark to protect them.
Josh informed Julian too.
They were ready to make a clean sweep of Mrs. Newman’s connections and power lurking in the darkness.
Liberty had no idea of the ensuing danger. She believed Jessica would not have the chance to try anything since they were in a bustling city. Plus, she was with her son.
She would not let her son out of her sight.
They arrived at the bridal shop picked by Hank and Jessica.
The two vehicles gradually came to a stop.
Hank parked and got out of the car to watch Liberty park. Seeing that she was steady behind the wheel, Hank did not offer to help.
He was in a trance.
In the past, Liberty would ask Hank for help with everything. She was dependent on him.
Now, Liberty could do everything herself. She was an independent woman.
It was not like she could no longer survive away from Hank. On the contrary, she was doing well after leaving Hank.
She lost weight, regained the beauty she had before their marriage, opened a diner, enjoyed a growing business, and bought a car. Life was only going to get better for her.
It probably would not take long before Liberty would get her first property in Wiltspoon. It could be a villa too. Mrs. York was her sister. Of course, Serenity would help out a little if Liberty wanted to get a house.
Hank’s mind flew back to his parents’ and sister’s words.
Liberty was now out of his league. One day, he would regret divorcing Liberty.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1387
Chapter 1387
Hank regretted it. In fact, the regret sank in a long time ago.
He realized life was not as good as he thought since he went public about his relationship with Jessica. He was disappointed with his decision.
This was especially when his family nitpicked and fought with Jessica endlessly. It was annoying. He was having more than second thoughts.
It was all the same, going from a lover to a wife.
Had he been nice to Liberty, gotten her on a weight loss program, and given her time to dress up, his wife would not have lost to his lover…
“Why are you staring into blank space, babe?”
With Hank’s eyes on Liberty, Jessica nudged him and brought him back to earth.
“I’m fine.”
Hank had no guts to admit he was dwelling in the past and regretted his choices as Jessica would jump down his throat.
He had his pride. He did not want a public fallout.
It would only let Liberty see him as a complete joke.
Hank drew close and carried his son out of the car.
Once Liberty got out, he put Sonny down and took Sonny by the hand. Hank said to Liberty, “This is the bridal shop.”
Liberty took a look without making any comment.
She remembered the bridal shop as she and Hank rented their wedding outfits at the same place for their wedding too.
Jessica sure loved to compete with her in everything.
Liberty smirked to herself. How unconfident Jessica must be to do so?
Jessica could not stand seeing Hank and Liberty walking together. They were also holding Sonny’s hand like one happy family. It did not sit well with Jessica that Hank and Liberty were once family either.
She took quick paces over and stood next to Liberty, pushing Liberty to the side. Jessica intimately held Hank’s arm.
Liberty found it amusing.
She was about to walk around and hold her son’s other hand.
A tall man in black clothes and a black mask dashed out of nowhere and bent over to take Sonny from Hank.
Too surprised to react, Hank watched as the man took off with Sonny.
“Sonny.”
Liberty acted the fastest, going after the man right away.
“Sonny.”
Snapping out of his trance, Hank shook off Jessica’s grasp and pursued the man who took Sonny.
“Kidnap! Kidnap!”
Liberty yelled as she ran.
The passersby on the street swiftly gathered around following Liberty’s cries, but they were not there to stop the kidnapper. Instead, these people came in Liberty’s way, refusing to let her pursue the man in black.
It hit Liberty that the passersby were accomplices of the man in black.
Using her slight plump build, Liberty rammed away those in her path as she tried to keep up with. the kidnapper.
“Mom! Mom…”
Sonny screamed at Liberty.
Liberty ran with all her might.
Since she took up running to lose weight, Liberty could run fast and up her stamina.
She could not bring herself to stop even if she was out of breath. She was afraid this was the last time she would ever see her son if she stopped here and now.
The man in black raced ahead, trying to shake Liberty off his tail. He took the winding alleyways to lose Liberty.
Nevertheless, he could not get Liberty off his tail.
“Mom! Mom!”
Married At First Sight Chapter 1388
Chapter 1388
Sonny cried as he put up a fight to break free from the man’s locked arms.
The boy even kicked the man. It was a shame Sonny’s limited strength was merely a scratch to the big man.
It was useless.
Seeing that his kicking did not work, Sonny suddenly slapped the man’s eyes. Now, he got a reaction.
The man in black could not see as Sonny smacked and slapped his eyes. The man staggered in his footsteps and could not keep up the speed.
Liberty gave everything she got to pick up her pace. Ten meters, five meters, one meter….
Frustrated, the man in black was about to knock Sonny unconscious when Liberty charged up and pounced on him. She got Sonny back, but she tumbled onto the ground. Despite falling down, she kept her son tightly wrapped in her embrace. Sonny remained on top of his mother during the fall.
The only thing a mother could think of was protecting her child in a moment of danger.
Not wanting his effort to go in vain, the man in black came to snatch Sonny when Liberty fell. There was no way Liberty would let go. She locked Sonny in a tight grip while Sonny slapped away the man’s hands, refusing to let the man take him. Sonny even tried to bite the man.
A flurry of footsteps was drawing close.
Many had chased their way here.
The man in black noticed that some of the people were his companions, but the majority were highly-trained security personnel.
“Run! Take the child and run!”
His companions yelled at him.
Anxious, the man in black tried to grab Sonny, but Liberty would not release her grip on her son. The man saw rage and started kicking Liberty.
Despite being in agony, Liberty would not let go all the same. She would not let go of Sonny even at the cost of death.
“Don’t hit my mom! Don’t hit my mom!”
Sonny wanted to protect his mother, but he was too little. Since his mother clutched him tightly against her, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that his kicking was not enough to loosen Liberty’s grip, the man pulled out a knife and unsheathed it before cutting into Liberty’s arm.
Liberty felt a stabbing pain in her arm as blood spilled and quickly stained her clothes.
The pain was not enough reason for Liberty to let go either.
Losing his temper, the man randomly stabbed Liberty again and again…
Liberty stayed down as she shielded her son who was now under her. The blood-stained knife slashed her body.
After two or three gashes, someone kicked the knife out of the man’s hand. The man made a last- ditch effort to fight, but he was soon beaten to a pulp and groaning on the ground.
“Ms. Hunt!”
The bodyguard, responsible for protecting Liberty and Sonny in the dark, was shocked to discover Liberty in blood.
“Sonny…”
Color drained from Liberty’s complexion due to the blood loss. Her vision became blurry, but she and her son were safe now as Zachary’s men had arrived….
She let go of her son and fell to the side. Blacking out, Liberty let the darkness swallow her as a whole.
“Ms. Hunt!”
“Mom! Mom!”
Scared stiff, Sonny kept pushing his mother, but his mom remained still. With blood gushing out of his mother, Sonny tried to wipe away the blood in a fluster. Yet, blood kept coming out. He tried to cover his mother’s injuries with his hands, but Mom had more than one cut. Sonny did not have enough hands for all the injuries.
“Mom!”
Sonny burst into tears.
His hands and body were tainted with his mother’s blood.
The York family’s bodyguard wasted no time calling 911.
The police siren ensued.
The companions of the man in black scattered and fled.
Hank, who finally caught up, was out of breath. He was about to sigh at his son’s presence, but the gory scene made his knees weak. He stumbled his way ahead to carry Liberty to the hospital.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1389
Chapter 1389
For some reason-probably tired from running or scared stiff-Hank lost all energy and could not pick Liberty up.
“Don’t move Ms. Hunt!”
The York family’s bodyguard pushed Hank away to prevent him from moving Liberty as it might cause Liberty to bleed out..
After calling the emergency line, the bodyguard tried to stop the bleeding and contact Zachary and the others too.
Having found out that his sister-in-law was stabbed multiple times, Zachary shouted, “How could you allow Liberty to get hurt when there were so many of you watching her?”
How was he supposed to explain to Seren?
The bodyguards remained without a word.
They had a lot of eyes on Liberty and Sonny, but so did the other party too.
The security team was minutes away from catching up to Liberty, and it was in those minutes. Liberty was stabbed.
The nearest ambulance was sent to the scene.
Liberty was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
“Mom…”
Sonny sobbed and wailed.
He was covered in blood-his mother’s blood.
“Sonny.”
Hank blamed himself.
Why did he not carry his son back then?
Sonny would not be snatched out of his hands, and Liberty would not be stabbed to save her son
if he carried his son into the bridal shop.
If anything were to happen to Liberty…
Hank did not dare to imagine the consequences.
She would turn out okay!
Liberty was a good person. God would favor her and keep her from harm.
With his son in his arms, Hank got into the ambulance.
The paramedics hurried to stop the bleeding. Even though the cuts missed her vitals, they had to stop Liberty from bleeding out.
Seeing that Sonny was covered in blood, a paramedic wanted to bandage Sonny, thinking he was hurt.
“It’s Mom’s blood,” Sonny uttered in between sobs.
The paramedic picked him up and examined him to make sure he was unharmed.
The paramedic had the utmost respect for the unconscious Liberty. Liberty, as a mother, was willing to protect her child at the cost of her life.
The man in black stabbed and kicked Liberty until her internal organs were damaged.
Nevertheless, Liberty never let go of her son. She only loosened her grip when it was finally safe.
A female paramedic secretly shed tears.
Hank carried her son and fixated on Liberty. He dared not breathe out loud or ask questions so as not to distract the paramedics from providing first aid to Liberty.
They arrived at the hospital in mere minutes.
Liberty was sent straight into the emergency room.
With Sonny in his arms, Hank waited outside the emergency room.
Duncan’s men and the York family’s bodyguards were also there.
Josh’s people were cooperating with the police to catch the offenders.
“Dad, will Mom die?” Sonny asked Hank in fear. His eyes were swollen from crying.
Hank immediately replied, “No. Your mom won’t die. She’s a good person. A good person lives up to a hundred. She won’t die. She won’t.”
He consoled his son and himself.
It took a while before it struck him to make a call.
Sonny snatched Hank’s phone when the latter pulled out his phone. Having kept his aunt’s number in mind, Sonny gave Serenity a call.
Hank watched on without stopping him.
There was no telling if Liberty would survive this.
Serenity was Liberty’s only sister. It was best to inform Serenity to get here quickly in case Liberty could not be saved. Serenity might be able to see Liberty one last time.
Married At First Sight Chapter 1390
Chapter 1390
“Liberty.”
Serenity was at a town near her hometown, checking on the progress of her project when she picked up the call.
Thinking that it was her sister, Serenity said hello with a smile.
Zachary also dialed Serenity’s number while on his way to the hospital, but Sonny was one step ahead of him. His call did not go through.
“Aunt Ser…”
Sonny burst out crying at the sound of his aunt’s voice.
Serenity tried to calm her nephew down. “What’s the matter, Sonny? Why are you crying? Was the lesson tiring? Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Sonny is a man, and men don’t cry. Don’t cry, Sonny. I’ll take you to the supermarket later. I’ll get you whatever you want.”
“Aunt Ser, Mom was bleeding. There was a lot of blood… Come back, Aunt Ser. Mom’s about to die Wahhh!”
Sonny’s voice trailed on and off amid the wailing.
On the other end of the line, Serenity was in shock. The phone fell right out of her hand.
Next to Serenity, Elisa bent over to pick up the phone.
Serenity managed to grab the phone and yelled at her nephew on the other end. “What did you say, Sonny? Can you make it clear? What happened to your mom? Sonny! Sonny! Say something, Sonny!”
All Sonny did was cry.
Hank immediately took over the phone and said, “Serenity, it’s bad. Someone tried to kidnap. Sonny again. Your sister was stabbed while protecting Sonny. She’s in the emergency room right now. Where are you? Come back now. What if your sister… You might be able to see her one last time.”
Serenity’s phone crashed onto the floor once more. She felt a shiver under her skin, and then the world turned upside down. She could barely stand up.
“Seren.”
“What’s the matter, Seren?”
Jasmine and Elisa quickly helped her up.
“My sister…”
No words could go past Serenity’s lips.
“What happened to your sister?” Elisa asked, concerned and anxious.
“Go… Go! Go back!”
It took everything in Serenity to scream these words.
She needed to go back.
Why did she have to travel far to her hometown today? Why could she not stay with her sister and nephew?
“Okay, okay. Let’s head back. We’ll go back now. Don’t panic, Seren. It’s okay. Everything is okay.”
Elisa soothed her as she and Jasmine propped Serenity up. They hurried to their parked car.
Although the girls had no idea what was going on with Liberty, Elisa guessed it must be something big and bad.
Otherwise, Serenity would not be dumbstruck beyond words.
Serenity was not in the state to drive.
Elisa took the wheel while Jasmine stayed in the backseat with Serenity.
Serenity’s phone rang again.
It was Zachary.
Serenity took the call with shaking hands as Jasmine watched her worriedly.
Once the call was connected, Serenity still could not find the words to speak. It was like something was stuck in her throat. Tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
“Seren…”
Zachary had made it to the hospital.
Liberty was still in the emergency room.
He was at a loss of what to say to his wife.
They had assigned so many people to protect Liberty and Sonny in the dark. Yet, Liberty got hurt in the end.
“Seren… Liberty…”
Zachary could not speak another word. His fumbling for words only made Serenity take things the wrong way. Thinking that her sister did not make it, Serenity passed out and fell onto the seat. The phone fell from her hand.
“Seren!”
Freaked out, Jasmine held Serenity up and pinched her nose.
Elisa urgently stopped the car by the side of the road and jumped out of the car. She opened the door to the backseat and climbed in to take turns with Jasmine pinching Serenity’s nose.
