Chapter 1682

“I’m relieved that’s how you think now. Just know that Mr. Lewis doesn’t mean what he said to you, no matter how bad his attitude was. Don’t take it to heart.”

Serenity and Zachary went to the hospital earlier, and Duncan’s father told the couple everything.

She felt that Duncan did not mean to say whatever he said.

Duncan was just worried that he would be crippled and wheelchair–bound for the rest of his life, so he did not want everyone to pity him.

Liberty was silent for a while before saying, “I hope Mr. Lewis won’t give up on himself. I hope he’ll continue his rehabilitation after he gets discharged from the hospital. That way, he’ll recover soon.”

“I’m sure he will.”

Serenity looked at her sister.

“Is there anything else you want to say to me?” Liberty asked.

“Mr. Lewis’s car accident made headlines in Wiltspoon. Those people’s imaginations ran wild and dragged you into it.”

Liberty was stunned for a moment. She then took out her phone and looked at the local news. She saw news of the CEO of Lewis. & Co. involved in a car accident on the trending topics, but it was not the first on the list.

Liberty clicked on it.

“Zachary got his people to suppress the news, so it’s not ranked very high now. It’ll be withdrawn from the trending topics soon.”

Liberty looked at it and said, “I don’t really care about this. I’m just afraid it’ll affect Lewis & Co.”

Lewis & Co. was Duncan’s very own business and he called the shots in the company. It was not his family business, which someone could take over if anything happened to Derek Lewis.

If something happened to Duncan, the top management in his company could temporarily take care of the company. However, it would be unstable after a while. Someone with bad intentions might even sell out the company while Duncan was away.

“Don’t worry about this. Zachary is keeping watch for Duncan. Duncan’s second brother, Kyle, will also help to stabilize the company first.”

Emmett, the eldest, was in charge of Lewises‘ family business, so he had his hands full and could not help Duncan take care of Lewis & Co. Thus, he arranged for Kyle to help out first.

At least, with one member of the Lewis family in charge and Zachary watching over the situation, nothing would happen to Lewis & Co.

“Don’t take the media’s random speculations to heart and don’t blame yourself. This isn’t your responsibility.”

Serenity was afraid her sister would think that way.

“Seren, don’t worry about me. I don’t think it’s my fault.”

Serenity saw that her sister’s reply was not perfunctory, so she felt relieved.

“I’ll let you know when there’s good news about Mr. Lewis.”

Liberty nodded. “I hope Mr. Lewis will recover and be discharged from the hospital soon.

“Seren, if you’re busy, you should just go ahead and do what you need to. I’ll clean up and get off work soon.”

Liberty got up, walked out of the cash register, and wanted to clean the diner.

Serenity watched her walk away and said, “I’ll wait for Elisa here. I’ll leave when she comes.”

Liberty hummed and did not talk anymore.

Knowing that her sister was still worried about Duncan’s injuries, Serenity sighed.

After Duncan got into the car accident, the Lewises‘ close family friends went to the hospital to visit Duncan.

Grandma May also went since she had always regarded Duncan as her grandson.

Duncan did not talk much to other visitors. Sometimes, he would be sleeping during visitation.

hours.

However, when Grandma May went to visit him, he wanted to talk to her in private.

When Grandma May and Duncan were the only ones left in the room, Duncan said, “Nana, I remember you said that you’d introduce Liberty to a good man if she wants to get into another relationship, right?”
