Chapter 1699


    After everyoneforted Mrs. Lewis and passed their gifts to the bodyguards to be brought into the


    ward, Zachary and the others had no choice but to leave the hospital.


    Mrs. Lewis saw everyone off to the elevator. She only left after watching them enter.


    When she returned to the ward, she stood at the door momentarily before going inside.


    Duncan was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. No one knew what he was


    thinking.


    “Has Zachary and the rest left?” Mr. Lewis asked softly.


    “They can only leave because Duncan doesn’t want to meet them.”


    Mrs. Lewis sighed. She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at her son. After some time, she


    said gently, “Duncan, everyone is here to see you because they’re concerned about you and not pitying


    you. Stop overthinking, okay?”


    Duncan closed his eyes.


    Obviously, he did not want to listen to his mother talking.


    Mrs. Lewis’s heart ached.


    After Duncan’s grandmother had passed away, her son’s life went back on track. He stopped talking


    about being a gangster and borrowed a huge amount of money from Zachary to start his own business.


    It was tough at first, but he managed to pull through.

    Lewis & Co. had transformed into what it was that day after over ten years.


    Duncan’s personal worth had also reached ten billion dors. He was a proud and sessful


    person who looked cool even when walking.


    If it were not for his romantic rtionship… He would still have been the cool Mr. Duncan.


    It was all her fault as a mother. She forced her son to stop pursuing Liberty by threatening to break all


    ties with him, which caused her son to get into the ident.


    Duncan closed his eyes to ignore and not listen to his mother, but he actually fell asleep in the end.


    Although he had been lying on the bed every day, he had insomnia and often could not fall asleep.


    Sometimes he would think about stuff when he closed his eyes and only fell asleep groggily when


    morning came.


    The shock he experienced from the car ident was too severe.


    He could not ept that he was going to be disabled.


    “Darling, please watch over Duncan. I’m going out for a walk.”


    Mrs. Lewis stood up and said to her husband.


    “Go ahead. Don’t overthink. Duncan is just in low spirits temporarily. I believe he’ll get himself together


    soon.”


    Mr. Lewis knew how upset his wife had been.


    Since their son had fallen asleep, it would be good for his wife to go out to take a stroll and rx.


    Mrs. Lewis watched her sleeping son for a while. Afterward, she took her bag from the bedside table


    and


    left the ward with it.


    She was not going on a walk. Instead, she went to All You Can Eat to look for Liberty.


    The store was not busy when Mrs. Lewis arrived. After workers from the graveyard shift had taken


    breakfast, rarely any other customers woulde and eat. Things would get busy again in the


    afternoon if the store were kept open.


    Some people did not like eating heavy meals in the afternoon. They preferred light breakfast food or


    some simple ravioli.


    In the past, All You Can Eat only served breakfast. They would begin packing and cleaning up after ten


    in the morning and get off work.


    Lately, Liberty had been keeping the store open for the entire day. She would serve customers when


    they came. When there was no business, she would prepare the ravioli or nap in the diner.
