Married At First Sight Chapter 1401

Chapter 1401

“Sonny.”

Zachary carried Sonny over.

Sonny did not resist his embrace when he was awake.

The person he trusted most at the moment besides his Aunt Ser was his Uncle Zak.

“Sonny, don’t be scared. I’ve defeated the bad guys, the police have also taken them away, and the doctor saved your mom. Tomorrow or the day after at the latest, your mom will come out and open her eyes to call you.”

Sonny looked seriously at Zachary and asked, “Uncle Zak, is what you say true?”

“When have I ever lied to you, Sonny? It’s true.”

Zachary carried Sonny and walked toward the bathroom. “Sonny, I’ll take you to wash your face and hands, okay?”

Sonny nodded because he saw that his hands were dirty.

With that, Zachary took Sonny into the bathroom to clean his face and hands before coming out again.

His bodyguard happened to have returned with fast food.

Serenity had no appetite to eat. She fed Sonny first, but he had also lost his appetite.

Zachary advised them again, “Seren, Sonny, how can you hold up if you don’t eat anything? When Liberty wakes up but you both collapsed, wouldn’t she be worried? Sonny, come, I’ll feed you. Once you’re full, you’ll take a shower, change into clean clothes, and wait for your mom to wake up.

“If she wakes up and sees what you’re wearing now, she’ll be terrified.”

Sonny looked down at his clothes. They were very dirty indeed.

They were also covered in blood.

Sonny was easily coaxed. He was successfully coaxed by Zachary and was willing to eat.

Serenity forced herself to eat something. In Zachary’s words, she would not be able to hold up if she did not eat and drink. If she were to collapse before her sister woke up, how could she take care of her sister?

Half an hour later, Zachary’s driver brought the RV over.

Zachary let Serenity take Sonny to shower and change into clean clothes.

He called Josh only after Serenity left.

“Josh, how’s it going?”

“Mrs. Newman was taken away for investigation, but not Mr. Newman.”

Josh said regrettably, “Mr. Newman happened to go on a business trip this morning and is

currently not in Wiltspoon.”

Zachary had long guessed this outcome.

“The rest was caught, and the man who stabbed your sister–in–law a few times was also sent to the hospital and is under police surveillance.”

That man was seriously beaten up by the Yorks‘ bodyguards.

He was wounded.

“Has your sister–in–law woken up yet?”

“Not yet.”

Josh added after a moment of silence, “Comfort your wife and explain this matter clearly to her so that she doesn’t misunderstand you.”

“I know.”

“Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.”

Zachary thanked Josh.

The sky was getting dark outside.

It was almost nighttime.

Duncan came again.

“Zachary.”

Duncan walked over and called out in a low voice, and then he looked toward the ward and asked,

“Has Liberty not woken up yet?”

Zachary shook his head.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402

Duncan looked worried.

He retracted his gaze after a long time and reached out to carry Sonny out of Serenity’s arms, but Sonny did not want to be carried by him.

Sonny turned his head and lay on Serenity’s shoulder.

Duncan looked gloomy. He felt that even Sonny was blaming him for not protecting Liberty well.

“Sonny is frightened and only clings to his Aunt Ser now,” Zachary explained.

Duncan pursed his lips and responded, “It’s okay, I don’t blame him. Zachary, I’ll watch over Liberty here. You should take Serenity and Sonny back to rest for a while.”

Zachary said after some thought, “Okay.”

He persuaded Serenity and Sonny to go rest in the RV with him. He would come back to keep watch over his sister–in–law for the second half of the night.

Zachary was at ease now that Duncan was here.

Besides, his bodyguards were present as well.

“Serenity, you can hold on, but Sonny is a child and won’t be able to do the same, so you should think for him. He’s the child your sister was desperately trying to protect. You have to take good care of him so that she feels assured and wakes up.”

Duncan persuaded Serenity to get some rest.

Serenity looked at her nephew again.

Sonny was clinging to her very much at the moment.

At last, Serenity compromised for the sake of Sonny. She went to rest in the RV first and set an alarm so that she could come and watch over her sister for the second half of the night.

Meanwhile, at the Browns‘ house.

“How could it be Jessica? How could it be?”

Hank, who was dragged home by his parents, had been mumbling and saying the same thing for hours.

He was in disbelief, and he refused to believe it.

How could Jessica lay hands on Sonny?

Jessica witnessed the whole process of his divorce from Liberty. It was also she who advised him to give up Sonny’s custody at that time, and he listened to her.

Although Hank’s mom and sister kept asking him to divorce Jessica and remarry Liberty, he did not do that.

Did he not make a firm decision to hold a wedding with Jessica?

They also agreed to go on a honeymoon after their wedding. They had decided on a location and had even booked the hotel.

Jessica should not do anything to Sonny at this time.

Besides, how could Jessica create such a huge scene?

All of a sudden, Hank was ruthlessly slapped on the arm.

Mrs. Brown was half–exasperated by her son’s reaction.

“The truth is right in front of you, and yet you’re still speaking for that spiteful woman! Can’t you think with your brain? If you want Sonny to be the flower boy, why didn’t you just buy him a new suit? Why did she insist on going to Liberty’s diner to take Sonny with you? Something must be wrong.

“You fool–idiot! You can’t even think with your brain. That wicked woman hates it the most when we go to see Sonny, and she doesn’t like us having too much interaction with him and Liberty. Why would she support and even encourage you to get close to Sonny recently?

“We were all tricked by her. I thought she let us visit Sonny because she doesn’t have a child of her own yet and thought she wouldn’t have one. Who knew, it was because she had such a vicious plan. No wonder she let you take Sonny to the zoo, and no wonder her face was as dark as charcoal when I asked your sister to go along. It was her–it was her!

“She must’ve also been the one responsible for the abduction of the kids at the zoo last time. She even wanted to take Lucas away. It’s clear that she wanted to get back at your sister and resents your sister for always targeting her. She’s an evil woman!”

Mrs. Brown cursed about Jessica fiercely.

“Hank, divorce her! Divorce her right now! Even if you can’t marry another woman after the divorce, I want you to divorce her. We can’t have such a malicious woman in our family!”

Hank said, “Mom, this matter hasn’t been concluded yet. The police only took Jessica back for an investigation. How could she be capable of doing something like this? I was also running after Sonny at that time, and I saw many people come to stop me and Liberty. Even if those people were paid to do so, it must’ve cost a lot. Jessica doesn’t have that much money.”

Mrs. Brown slapped him again.

“How did she react just now? Did you not see her? Are you saying that the police wronged her? Would the police have taken her away without evidence? Why didn’t they take me away?” Hank was instantly speechless.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1403

Chapter 1403

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Mr. Brown went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Chelsea crashed in and asked nervously, “Dad, how’s Liberty? Is Sonny fine? I rushed over right away after receiving your call.”

Mr. Brown answered, “Sonny is fine. He was just very frightened and is only willing to follow his Aunt Ser now. As for Liberty… She’s still in the ICU. The doctor said she’ll be fine if she pulls through the next few days, but if she doesn’t… Ah, pfft, she’ll pull through. She’s a good person, and a good person will also be blessed.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Liberty is a good person. She’ll definitely be fine-she’ll be fine.”

Chelsea had been nice to Liberty and Serenity ever since Serenity saved her little son. She sincerely hoped that Liberty would get better.

When she saw her brother, she pounced over and punched him a few times. She scolded, “Hank, you didn’t listen to us. Look what kind of a vicious woman you married! She made a mess of our family and tried to harm Sonny.

“She even let the kidnappers take Lucas away at the zoo last time. She’s so wicked. I did target her, so I’ll accept it if she hates and resents me, and I won’t say anything if she comes at me. However, she went after my innocent child.

“What an evil person. I thought I was bad enough, but she’s worse than me. I targeted her, but Liberty never did anything to her, yet she wanted to lay her hands on Sonny. Is she trying to cut off our family line?”

Chelsea was sensible and knew she was not a good person.

Mrs. Brown had told her daughter everything on the phone.

Therefore, Chelsea started scolding Hank as soon as she arrived.

Hank wanted to stand up for his wife but could not say anything. If he dared defend Jessica again, his parents would rip him apart first!

Moreover, he also experienced the shock of his son almost being kidnapped.

He could not defend Jessica anymore. In his parents‘ words, the police would not have taken her away and not let her come home if she had nothing to do with the incident.

Additionally, Jessica’s reaction–her ashen face–when she was taken away confirmed that she was in the know.

“Mom, which hospital is Liberty in? This won’t do. I have to go see her,” Chelsea asked her mom after scolding her brother and Jessica. She wanted to see Liberty.

At the same time, she said regretfully, “It’s my fault. If I hadn’t talked too much and babbled back then, this wouldn’t have happened, and that vicious woman wouldn’t be here.”

Mrs. Brown said, “Even if we were nice to Liberty, your fickle brother will still get together with that spiteful woman. I advised him not to divorce Liberty, but he insisted on doing it. I also reminded him that that malicious woman isn’t suitable as a partner for life, but he didn’t listen to me either!”

Hank was speechless.

“Liberty is in the ICU now. You can’t see her even if you go,” Mrs. Brown added.

Chelsea turned around and left. She said to her husband, “Darling, send me to the hospital. Whether I get to see her or not is one thing; going there shows my sentiment. If it wasn’t for Liberty and Serenity the last time, Lucas would’ve been kidnapped and sold by that evil woman.”

She kept cursing Jessica.

“I’ll go with you.”

Mrs. Brown was extremely worried and could not sleep at home, so she followed her daughter to the hospital.

The people who were guarding Liberty in the hospital at the moment were Duncan and a few of the Yorks‘ bodyguards. Serenity and Zachary were resting in the RV for the time being.

Duncan could not enter the ward, so he stood at the door and looked through the small glass window at Liberty lying motionless on the hospital bed. His heart was twisted as if it was cut a thousand times. He was in pain!

“Liberty…”

Duncan murmured softly, “You have to wake up and get better quickly. I promise I won’t let you and Sonny get hurt in the future.

“Liberty, I’ve only realized now that I’m afraid of losing you. I do like Sonny, but I like you too. You have to get better; I haven’t told you what I feel.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404

Duncan had no idea he cared so much about Liberty.

He always thought that he liked Sonny and was nice to Liberty because of the little guy.

After knowing that Liberty was stabbed a few times by the bad guy, Duncan was heartbroken, and it was difficult to describe the pain. As slow as he was, he came to understand that he had long developed feelings for Liberty.

Why did he like her?

He did not know either.

No wonder his friends always saw him and Liberty as a pair; outsiders had a better perception.

Duncan was not moved even when he faced the outstanding Lily. Instead, he wanted to run away. It was not that Lily was not good enough, but he had unknowingly had his heart set on Liberty.

When Chelsea, her husband, and her parents arrived at the hospital, they saw Duncan keeping watch outside the ward.

Duncan turned around when he heard footsteps. Seeing that it was Chelsea and her husband, his face turned gloomy, and he looked coldly at the Browns.

“Why are you here?”

Chelsea could not help but question Duncan.

Duncan asked coldly, “What does it matter to you that I’m here?”

Chelsea choked.

Now that Liberty was free and had lost weight, it was normal to have pursuers.

Duncan had always been nice to Liberty.

The Browns felt that Duncan was extremely good to Sonny because he had improper thoughts about Liberty.

As Liberty had not slimmed down at that time, the Browns fooled and comforted themselves that Duncan would not take a fancy to her. After all, he was a CEO with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, whereas she was a fat divorcee with a three–year–old son.

However, when the Browns saw Duncan keeping watch outside the ward now, they could not deceive themselves any longer. He truly liked Liberty.

Otherwise, he would not be guarding her ward late at night.

The Browns did not know what to feel.

“It’s late. What are you doing here instead of sleeping?” Duncan coldly questioned Chelsea in return.

“I came to see my sister–in-”

“Mrs. Repton, have you forgotten that Liberty and your brother are divorced? She’s no longer your sister–in–law, so please stop calling her that. She doesn’t want to hear you call her that either.”

Chelsea was lost for words.

“Chelsea.”

Mrs. Brown tugged at her daughter and reminded her not to argue with Duncan. It would be useless.

Duncan was right. Liberty and Hank had long divorced, and Hank had remarried thereafter.

“How’s Liberty? Why isn’t Serenity watching over her sister here? Why are you here instead?” Chelsea asked. She was still displeased and did not want to see Duncan watching over Liberty.

Jessica was a vicious woman. Chelsea would definitely persuade her brother to divorce Jessica as she wanted to get him to remarry Liberty.

Now, Liberty had a new pursuer. Duncan’s face was scarred, but he had a good family background and had the upper hand as compared to Hank. Chelsea was unhappy because she felt that there was not a shred of hope left for her brother’s remarriage to Liberty.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405

“What’s wrong with me being here to watch over Liberty? How does it affect you? Who are you to Liberty? Is it your place to influence my decision? You don’t need to care about how Liberty is doing It’s your family–your awesome sister–in–law–that caused her to be lying there now!” Duncan said to Chelsea.

“Jessica is a spiteful woman. I never considered her as my sister–in–law, and I only recognize Liberty as that.”

“Hah!”

Duncan said sarcastically, “Have you forgotten what you did to Liberty back then, Mrs. Repton? Liberty needs rest, and your family isn’t welcome here, so please leave now!”

Duncan gestured to the Yorks‘ bodyguards to shoo Chelsea, her parents, and George.

The Browns were the most bizarre and outrageous people he had ever met.

Chelsea did not get to see Liberty. Duncan was standing in the doorway, so she did not even have a chance to get close.

The York’s bodyguards came to shoo her, so her parents pulled her away.

In Duncan’s words, Liberty was lying there at the moment because of their family.

After the Browns left, Duncan looked at Liberty again through the ward’s window.

“Liberty, don’t worry. I’ll help you teach them a lesson if they dare bully and pester you again. You must also be firm and don’t be fooled by their sweet words. They’re now bent on getting you and Hank to remarry because you’re capable of earning money now and your sister is married to a rich family. They only want to benefit from you.”

Duncan said many things to Liberty.

Originally, he agreed with Zachary and Serenity that they would split the night watch.

However, he could not leave and kept watch throughout the night.

Zachary wanted his beloved wife to rest well, to begin with, so he secretly turned off her alarm.

Duncan stayed awake until dawn and turned haggard overnight.

“Liberty, it’s almost daytime. Do you think the sun will be up today? Usually, you’ll already be busy working at your breakfast store at this time. I like to eat your breakfast and watch your confident and busy figure.

“Liberty, you have to wake up soon and stop sleeping. We’re all worried about you–so worried about you.

“Liberty, can you hear me? It’s okay if you can’t hear me now. I’ll tell you whatever you want me to say when you wake up.”

Liberty could not hear Duncan at the moment.

She was still in the dark, unable to find the light. She was anxious and wanted to break out of the darkness to save her child.

All of a sudden, a faint light appeared in front of her. She immediately followed the light.

“Lib, Lib…”

Liberty heard the familiar voices that were long embedded deep in her memories.

It was her parents!

She stopped, turned around, and actually saw her parents who had passed away sixteen years ago.

“Dad, Mom.”

Liberty was excited to see her parents. She quickly ran toward them.

“Dad, Mom, you’re back, you’re back. You’re finally back. Seren and I have missed you so much.”

Liberty buried herself in her mother’s arms and cried like a child.

“Lib, why are you here? This isn’t the place for you to come. You should go back.”

Liberty’s mom embraced her and spoke gently, but her words were the cruelest to her.

She finally saw her parents, but her mom wanted her to leave.

Liberty did not want to leave.

She wanted to be with her parents!

When Liberty’s parents passed away, she was the elder sister and was only fifteen. She braced herself to take care of her younger sister, but in fact, she wanted to rely on someone too and missed her parents very much. Liberty dreamed of her parents and had woken up many times. deep into the night when her tears wet her pillowcase.

Even after Liberty grew up and worked, every year on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, she saw that others could get together with their parents or at least give them a phone call. On the other hand, she and her sister could only rely on their memories, thinking about their parents‘ voices and smiles.

One time, Liberty secretly cried in the office and was discovered by a coworker. Her coworker was startled and asked her what was wrong, and she said she missed her parents.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1406

Chapter 1406

How Liberty had hoped that everything bad was a dream and that when she woke up, her parents were still around and their family of four was fine.

Nobody knew how much she had endured.

Her sister could cry on her when she was sad, but who could she cry on when she had a hard time?

“Mom, I don’t want to go. I want to be with you and Dad.”

Liberty shook her head in her mother’s arms, not wanting to leave her parents.

Lisa pushed her away.

“Lib, think about Seren and your son, Sonny. They need you and are waiting for you to go back. Listen to me and quickly return. This isn’t the place for you. Go now!” said Lisa as she pushed her daughter away again.

Liberty thought of her sister and her son.

Yes, she still had to raise her son, and her sister was still there.

What would happen to Sonny if she stayed with her parents?

Also, if Serenity found herself in occasional quarrels with Zachary and wanted to go back to her maiden home, nobody would be there.

“Lib, go back,” Scott spoke up and broke his silence.

Both her parents urged her to leave.

They even pushed her to the other side together. As she was being pushed along, she kept looking back. When she saw a bright light ahead, her parents waved at her. She knelt with tears in her eyes and bowed three times at them.

“Walk toward the place where there is light…”

Her parents‘ words faded away until they could no longer be heard.

She could not hear them anymore.

Liberty stood up and turned around with tears in her eyes. She walked toward the place where there was light.

Duncan, who was outside the ward, seemed to see Liberty in tears.

He thought he was seeing things, so he quickly rubbed his eyes to look more carefully. It seemed that Liberty was really shedding tears.

“Jim, Jim, come and help me see. Is Liberty tearing up?”

Duncan was afraid that he was wrong, so he asked Jim to help him take a look.

Jim walked over, and Duncan gave way for him to see. Jim also rubbed his eyes a few times

before looking again and said, “Mr. Lewis, Ms. Hunt seems to be shedding tears indeed. She might be waking up soon. Quick, call the doctor.”

As he said that, he ran to call the doctor.

The other bodyguards informed Zachary and Serenity right away.

Serenity, who was resting in the RV, did not sleep well. As for Sonny, he fell asleep but did not sleep soundly. He woke up from time to time and bawled.

After receiving the call from one of the bodyguards, Sonny happened to wake up again and was crying.

“Seren, Liberty might be waking up soon. Duncan said he saw her shedding tears.”

Zachary got up and carried Sonny with one hand. He then said to Serenity, “Quick, let’s go look.”

Serenity acted even faster when she heard that her sister might be waking up soon. She jumped out of bed and wanted to get off.

She almost tripped but luckily, Zachary caught her.

By the time the couple returned to outside the ICU ward, Liberty happened to be pushed out.

She even opened her eyes.

“Liberty, Liberty.”

“Mommy…”

Serenity was so surprised yet overjoyed to see her sister awake that she cried. On the other hand, Sonny called out to his mom as little kids usually would.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1407

Chapter 1407

Liberty saw that her son was well and her sister was also present. She could not speak yet, so she mustered a smile to comfort her sister, but the tears in the corner of her eyes could not be stopped.

She made the choice again.

Liberty temporarily abandoned her parents and chose to come back to stay with her sister and take care of her son.

“Doctor, how’s my sister-in-law doing?” Zachary asked.

“The patient is awake and is out of danger. She doesn’t need to stay in the ICU anymore.”

Everyone was finally relieved.

Liberty was transferred to a general ward, and Zachary arranged for her to stay in a VIP ward. It was quiet and suitable for his sister–in–law to recover.

Although Liberty was awake, her body was still very weak. After being pushed back into the ward, she quickly fell into a deep sleep again.

Serenity sat in front of the bed with Sonny in her arms to watch over her sister. She would gently touch the end of her sister’s nose from time to time to make sure that she was breathing normally. Only then was Serenity at ease.

It was after dawn when Zachary informed Mrs. Stone and the others that Liberty was out of danger and had woken up briefly.

Grandma May and the others arrived at the hospital early in the morning.

It was already too late when Grandma May returned to Wiltspoon last night, so the young ones refused to let her come to the hospital.

She could only endure until daybreak and came in a hurry.

“Nana,” Serenity stood up with Sonny in her arms and greeted her when she came into sight.

Grandma May hummed. She went to see Liberty first and saw that she was still sleeping with a pale face. She was heartbroken. “My heart aches. We had so many people, and yet we failed to protect a woman and a child!”

Zachary and Duncan kept mum.

They had indeed failed to protect the mother and the child well.

“What did the doctor say?” Grandma May asked Serenity.

“The doctor said that my sister’s life is no longer threatened. She woke up and came out of the ICU at daybreak. Now, she’s sleeping again.”

Grandma May hummed again. “As long as she’s fine, as long as she’s fine. I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep well. It’s alright, Seren. Don’t worry too much. I told you that you and your sister are immensely blessed. She’ll get better in no time.”

Afterward, she went to carry Sonny.

After being frightened, Sonny was only willing to be carried by Serenity and Zachary. Nonetheless, when Grandma May wanted to carry him, he still stretched out his hands and let her carry him.

“Sonny was frightened. He kept waking up and crying last night.”

“Of course. I’ll go find a therapist later to help calm him down. As long as we stay with him and slowly talk to him, he’ll recover.”

Grandma May believed that therapy could help a traumatized child.

Well, she had done this many times in the past.

Serenity believed in it as well. Since Grandma May suggested it, she thanked her for it.

“We’re family, so why are you thanking me? I feel sorry for Sonny too. Luckily, those bad guys were caught. This won’t happen again in the future.”

Even so, she still glared at her grandson.

Zachary was afraid to make a peep.

When Grandma May saw Duncan, she was shocked.

“Duncan, are you injured as well? You look terrible,” Grandma May asked with concern.

Everyone looked at Duncan.

Duncan touched his face and asked, “Do I look terrible? Grandma May, I’m not injured. I’m fine and don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.”

He just watched over Liberty all night.

“Ghastly–you look ghastly. In fact, you look awful and haggard.”

Married At First Sight Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408

Duncan stopped talking.

After everyone saw Liberty, Grandma May asked his daughters–in–law to head home first and not to disturb Liberty here.

Zachary and Serenity looked extremely tired as well.

The Stones and the Soxes also came to visit Liberty after learning that she was out of the woods.

Mrs. Stone stayed in the hospital until Liberty woke up for the second time and only then did she feel relieved.

The Yorks‘ bodyguards bought breakfast for everyone.

After having breakfast, Zachary said to Duncan, “Duncan, you should get some rest at home first. We agreed to each keep watch for half of last night, but you stayed up the whole night by yourself.”

“I’m fine. I’m neither sleepy nor tired. I’ll wait a bit more.”

Duncan looked at Liberty, who was surrounded by her relatives and friends.

When Liberty woke up for the second time, she still spoke weakly but was in a better spirit than when she first regained consciousness.

She did not even notice Duncan, who was outside the crowd.

Duncan looked at her in a daze. It was fine even if Liberty could not see him. He was tall and could see her from beyond the crowd. Duncan was just happy to see her awake. He did not feel tired at all.

Ring, ring, ring…

Duncan’s phone rang at this time.

He left the ward to answer the call as he was afraid of disturbing Liberty.

It was his mom.

“Duncan.”

Mrs. Lewis asked directly over the phone, “Are you in the hospital?”

The incident yesterday caused a huge stir.

It was because the police caught a lot of people.

Many were saying that almost all of the police in Wiltspoon were dispatched yesterday for so many people to be caught.

After knowing that a child was almost kidnapped, many families with children carried their children while out and about if they could. Children who were older and could not be carried anymore were held tightly by their parents as they were afraid that their children would be taken away.

It was not surprising that Mrs. Lewis knew about the incident.

Despite that, it was only later that she learned that the kidnapped child was Liberty’s son.

She also found out later that Liberty was injured.

When her youngest son did not come home last night, Mrs. Lewis purposely went to the houses belonging to her son today to look for him but to no avail. He was also nowhere to be seen at his office, so she guessed that he was in the hospital.

“I’m in the hospital. What’s wrong, Mom?”

Duncan asked his mom in a deep voice, “Is something wrong?”

“Is Liberty okay? I heard she was stabbed a few times.”

Liberty was stabbed several times for the sake of her son. Since she was also a mother, Mrs. Lewis admired Liberty for that.

“She woke up at five in the morning. The doctor said she was no longer in critical condition, so she was released from the ICU and transferred to the general ward.”

Mrs. Lewis responded, “Thank God. As long as she’s fine.”

Following that, she changed her tone and asked her son, “How did you know what happened at five o’clock? When did you go to the hospital?”

“I arrived at the hospital yesterday.”

Duncan did not avoid his mom’s question. He answered honestly, “I stayed in the hospital all night. I couldn’t be at ease when Liberty was still in danger.”

Mrs. Lewis knew it was bad when she heard that her son had been watching over Liberty all night.

Was her worry turning into reality?

“Liberty could be watched over by her sister. Must an outsider like you keep watch there overnight?”

“Mom, I stayed voluntarily. I was just worried. As long as Liberty wasn’t awake, I couldn’t leave the hospital. Even if I did, I wouldn’t be in the mood to do anything.”

After Duncan realized his feelings, he became very frank when facing his mom.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409

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.

“Duncan, you’ve been watching over Liberty all night. You should go home and rest. Don’t collapse before Liberty recovers.”

Duncan said, “I don’t want to leave either; I still feel uneasy. Perhaps I can only work without worries when Liberty can get out of bed and walk.”

Zachary pursed his lips and did not know how to persuade him.

Ring, ring, ring…

Zachary’s phone rang.

It was Josh who called.

Zachary answered the call. Nobody knew what Josh told him on the phone, but his face turned dark. Duncan heard him telling Josh to find out who had secretly filmed him and to take down the trending topic.

After Zachary finished, he hung up.

“What’s wrong?” Duncan asked with concern.

Zachary turned to look at the ward to make sure that Serenity would not come out. He then said in a low voice, “Josh said that Seren and I were secretly photographed by the paparazzi when she came to the hospital for a checkup the day before yesterday. The paparazzi reported that Seren is infertile and that we went to the hospital to seek medical treatment, but we argued, and I left in anger.

“This became a trending topic for Wiltspoon’s entertainment news. The ranking is getting higher, and it seems to be competing for first place.”

That day, Zachary just thought that Serenity was pregnant and took her to the hospital for a checkup.

The result was negative.

After that, Serenity suggested doing a medical checkup, worried that they might have issues with their constitutions for the reason behind her not conceiving even after being married for half a year.

Zachary refused.

Serenity tried to convince him, but he left in anger right after.

Married At First Sight Chapter 1410

Chapter 1410

Zachary and Serenity had a disagreement. Serenity even stayed overnight at the Soxes‘ and followed her close friends back to her hometown the next day to check the progress of her investment project. That was why she was not with Liberty and her son.

When something happened to Liberty yesterday, Serenity rushed back after receiving the call.

The small interlude between Zachary and Serenity was captured by the paparazzi and exposed. Now, it was even trending.

If Serenity saw this, she might even blame herself and think that she did not protect her sister well because of the conflict between her and Zachary.

Zachary asked Josh to handle it. They had to try to hide it from Serenity and not let her know–at least not at this time.

Duncan said, “Given your status, anything that has to do with you can easily become a trending topic… Especially after you got married, everyone became highly interested in your married life with Serenity. Those paparazzi are everywhere. They’re the most well–informed.

“They’ll definitely be competent private detectives.”

Duncan comforted Zachary rather sympathetically.

At last, he asked Zachary with concern, “You’re good, right?”

He sized Zachary up and felt that Zachary’s body could match his. He smiled and commented, “If you have a problem and can’t have a baby, then many men will have to see the doctor.”

“I’m fine, but I can’t give birth to a baby, so I can only team up with my wife and let her give birth to our child.”

Duncan smiled.

“If Serenity-”

“She’s fine as well. She’s just stressed, but my family hasn’t pressured her to have a baby either. She’s just…” Zachary continued after some thought, “Perhaps I’m the one who’s giving her the pressure. She’s forced to face this invisible pressure now that we’re married.”

Zachary took out his phone and called Josh. Once Josh picked up, he instructed, “Josh, help me publish a clarification statement. My wife isn’t pregnant yet because we want to spend more time together as a couple. We don’t want a baby to disturb our sweet life just yet, so we’re not in a hurry to have a child.

“That day, we went to the hospital because I thought she had accidentally conceived, but we found out after a checkup that she wasn’t pregnant. My wife told me that she wanted to have a child, but I still wanted to spend time together with her as husband and wife, so we had a little disagreement

“That’s what it should roughly mean. Help me thank everyone for their concern. There’s nothing wrong with our bodies, and we’re fine. I’m just overbearing and want to have Serenity to myself, so I can’t bear to share her with someone else. Even if that person is our child, I’ll be jealous!”

Josh was quick to agree to it. “I’ll immediately publish a clarification statement for you. Do you still want me to look into the trending news?”

“Yes!”

Zachary said in a low and cold voice, “Tell those people to stay out of my private affairs!”

Who were those entertainment journalists to care about his private matters when not even his family did?

After ending another call with Josh, Zachary’s phone rang. This time, it was Clive who called.

“Zachary, I just saw the trending topic. Is something wrong with you?”

Zachary was speechless. He could tell that his sworn enemy was teasing him. If Clive was not Serenity’s cousin, the man himself would definitely be laughing at this moment.

“You’re the one with problems!”

Zachary retorted with a dark face, “I’m fine!”

Clive held back his laughter and graciously said, “We’re both men. If something is wrong with you, do tell. I won’t laugh at you. I know a few doctors who specialize in treating infertile men. Do you want me to introduce them to you?”

Zachary had once cared for Clive the same way when Clive’s wife was not yet pregnant. Now, it was Clive’s turn to care for him.

“I’m your cousin, after all. I want you and Serenity to be well, and I also want to be promoted to becoming an uncle soon. Zachary, although we don’t like each other, I genuinely want to help you. Is something wrong with you? You can’t hide it at such a time and should get treated if you’re unwell!”

“Clive, I am not unwell! I’m in perfect health! Seren is fine too!”

“Of course I know Serenity is fine. My cousin looks like someone who is in good health and is very fertile. It must be your problem that she hasn’t gotten pregnant even after so long.”
