Chapter 1676


    Josh was considerate not to smoke because his wife was pregnant.


    “What happened, Mr. Lewis? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that it was her fault for what happened to


    Duncan?” Zachary asked in a low voice.


    Josh also looked at Mr. Lewis, waiting for him to tell them the truth.


    “Sigh… It’s our fault. Duncan went out drinking yesterday. After you sent him home, Duncan didn’t


    answer Corey’s call, so she called the housekeeper only to find out that Duncan was drunk This


    morning, Corey insisted on going to his house, so I went with her.


    “Duncan only woke up at noon. He saw us at his ce and quarreled with Corey again shortly after


    Duncan didn’t want to get into a row with his mother, so he got up and left.”


    Derek recalled the scene at that time. If he knew that it would cause Duncan’s ident, he would


    have dragged Corey back with every ounce of his strength.


    As Duncan’s father, he felt he did not do well in persuading Corey to be more open–minded, which


    caused the conflict between the mother and son to intensify.


    “Corey asked if Duncan was going to look for Liberty and didn’t want to let him leave But Duncan


    ignored her and drove away. Corey was furious and chased after him because she wanted to stop


    Duncan from going to Liberty.


    “I followed and persuaded Corey to stop bickering with Duncan. He’s already thirty–six, so he knows


    what he’s doing. As his parents, we shouldn’t control him anymore. Duncan has always. been


    independent as well–he never liked being restrained by the family. The more we oppose him from


    pursuing Liberty, the more he’ll rebel.


    “Corey wouldn’t listen to me. Duncan noticed that we were chasing him, so he sped and kept


    overtaking other vehicles. It was also because he was driving so fast that he rear–ended arge truck


    at the intersection. It was a red light, so the truck slowed down and stopped.”


    At that moment, Derek med himself and said, “It’s all our fault. If it weren’t for us chasing him,


    Duncan wouldn’t have driven so fast. Then, he could’ve braked in time when the truck slowed


    down.”


    Zachary and Josh looked at each other. Neither of them knew how to continue the conversation


    Duncan was not necessarily going out to see Liberty, but Mrs. Lewis jumped to a conclusion and


    thought that her son was going to see Liberty. Thus, Mrs. Lewis chased after her son to stop him from


    going to Liberty.


    At the time, Duncan was probably infuriated.


    Thus, he was distracted when he drove. He had too much to drink yesterday and had just woken up, so


    he would have felt a little difort. That was how he got into an ident.


    After a while, Zacharyforted, “Mr Lewis, Duncan will be fine.”


    All that mattered was that Duncan was still alive. The other injuries would heal eventually


    “Duncan injured his legs. You heard what the doctor said It’ll take a long time for him to recover


    I’m


    just worried that Duncan won’t be able to ept it when he wakes up and finds out that he’ll be


    wheelchair–bound for a long time and needs physiotherapy.


    “Although he looks carefree and nonchnt, he’s actually a very fragile person. Back when he was in


    his rebellious stage, his grandma’s illness worsened, and she passed away Due to this, he’s still living


    in self–me after more than ten years.


    “The scar on his face is a reminder to him, and he won’t stop ming himself for what happened if he


    doesn’t remove that scar Now this has happened, I’m just afraid he won’t be able to pull through.”


    Derek was worried that his son could not ept the possibility of being disabled.


    Even if his legs would heal, it would take a long time.


    “Sigh… Why did we, as parents, want to make things difficult for our son? We should’ve just let him


    pursue whoever he likes. Why did we stop him? He had only started to like that one woman after so


    long, yet we didn’t support him. He got annoyed at our interference and became hot-


    tempered..


    Derek said with regret, “What’s the use of saying all these now? My son already got into an ident…”


    Joshforted him. “Mr. Lewis, although Duncan has a soft side, he’s also very strong. He won’t be


    easily beaten down. His leg injury will definitely heal one day.


    “I think it’s up to Duncan and Liberty to deal with their rtionship, and it’s best if we don’t interfere.


    They’re all adults, and they’re not exactly young, so they can surely handle their own. feelings, right?”


    Derek looked at Zachary, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he did not say a word in


    the end.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “My sister–inw really has no feelings for Duncan, but. she


    doesn’t hate him either. She just treats Duncan as a friend.”
