Chapter 801
Duncan shot Liberty an angry look before getting out of the car. He went into the restaurant and picked
up the keys to lock the ce up.
Back in the car, Duncan concentrated behind the wheel and asked, “What happened? You’re all over
the ce, and you look pale.”

“Jasmine called me to say something happened to Seren.”
Color washed off Liberty’splexion further at the mention.
Her sister went to the bookshop to tidy up the ce today. What could have happened?
Did a bookshelf topple over her sister?
There were a lot of books on the shelf. The weight of the bookshelf with the help of gravity falling on a
person…
Liberty stopped herself from dwelling deeper into that scenario.
She was terrified.
What if something happened to her sister? What if her sister had an ident?
Liberty had lost her parents and only had her sister, growing up. If her sister…
Tears streamed down Liberty’s face.
Duncan asked with concern, “What happened to your sister?”
Since Serenity was his best friend’s wife, Duncan was rather worried about the situation.
“I don’t know. Jasmine didn’t say. All she told me was that something happened to Seren. She sounded
flustered on the phone, so it must be something bad.”
Duncan said, “Hurry up and give Ms. Sox a call to get to the bottom of the situation. Don’t cry. You’re
crying without knowing what the situation is. What if it isn’t what you think it is? That would be a waste
of your tears.”
Liberty choked with sobs. “I can’t help myself… It brought me back to the time I was called out of the
ssroom by the teacher and told to go home. Themunity reached out to the school and told me
to hurry home. I got home only to find my parents dead…
The day of her parents’ death was imprinted in Liberty’s mind for life.
She shuddered with fear every time she received a phone call out of the blue.
Liberty feared the worst.
“Don’t scare yourself. Just check what happened.”
Duncan was aware that Liberty and Serenity lost their parents eleven years ago. Serenity might not
remember much because she was ten years old, but Liberty was a young teen at fifteen. She had just
entered high school and could remember the details clearly.
Besides, due to their parents’ sudden passing, Liberty had to pick up the pieces as the older sister to
sort out the funeral and look after her sister. It would forever be a painful memory for her.
“Mr. Lewis, tissue please.”
Sonny, who was scared of Duncan, asked the man for a tissue.
Duncan handed him a tissue.
After thanking Duncan for the tissue, the little man slipped out of the car seat and stood in front of
Liberty to wipe away her tears. His young voice bore hints offort. “Don’t cry, Mom.”
Liberty picked her son up and brushed her own tears away. “Sonny.”
“Don’t cry, Mom.”
Sonny lifted his little arm to wipe his mother’s tears away.
Feeling touched, Liberty gave her son a tight cuddle before giving Jasmine a call. Jasmine epted
the call right away.
“Jasmine, what happened to Seren? How is she? It wasn’t clear on the phone just now. I’m on the way
to the shop, so I’ll be there soon.”
Jasmine replied, “I lost you before I could say anything more. I kept trying to get your attention, but you
didn’t respond. That was why I hung up. Don’t panic, Liberty. It’s not what you think. I-It’s Mr. York.”
“What happened to Zachary? Was he in an ident?”
Hearing that it was not something fatal as she had imagined, Liberty was able to calm her nerves. She
was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she found out it was about Zachary. Her heart jumped out of
her throat.
“Liberty, Mr. York is Mr. York.”
“Zachary is Mr. York? What do you mean Mr. York…? Don’t tell me you’re talking about the heir of the
wealthiest Yorks. Is it ‘the’ Mr. York whose wife’s identity everybody has been gossiping about?”
