Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1435
Liberty sat on the bed. She no longer needed to be hooked on IV drips all day, with only two bags. every morning. When the IV
therapy finished around noon, she was free to walk around.
However, her injured hand had not regained her usual strength. She could not even hold her son.
She was a little worried that it would affect her business in the future.
The doctor said that she would recover fully as long as she recuperated well, so she was relieved.
“Jasmine and I have been friends for many years. Of course, I’ll attend her engagement party.”
Serenity peeled the apple and sliced it into four. She handed one to her sister, one to Sonny, and the remaining two to Mrs. Lane
and the other maid.
“You go ahead, Missus.”
Mrs. Lane declined the apple.
Serenity smiled and said, “Take it, Mrs. Lane. I don’t really like apples.”
Liberty chimed in, “It’s true, Mrs. Lane. Seren doesn’t like to eat apples. If you don’t eat them, they’ll just end up getting tossed
out.”
At the sisters‘ words, Mrs. Lane and the maid took the apple slices that Serenity handed to them.
“What do you want to eat for lunch, Liberty?”
Serenity put down the fruit knife and asked, “Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll go back and cook. for you.”
“You and Zachary took full charge of my three meals. Zachary got a nutritionist to put together al menu for me that’ll help with my
recovery. You and Zachary worked together to make that happen.”
Some of the recipes the nutritionist planned for were not dishes that Liberty enjoyed. Serenity had to coax her sister repeatedly
to finish eating them.
Serenity giggled and said, “If you have something else you want to eat, I can still make it for you.”

“There’s no need to go through the trouble. I can survive with the meals that Sam brings over every day. You guys feed me so
much I’ll probably put on twenty pounds by the time I leave the hospital.”
It was not easy for her to lose weight, but she was fattened up by her sister again after staying in the hospital.
It was not only her sister and brother–in–law, but her aunt too had always sent her nutritious soup every time she came to visit.
Aunt Audrey said that she needed more iron since she had lost a lot of blood, so she brought over soup rich in iron every day for
Liberty to consume.
The Yorks also sent over soups at regular intervals.
Liberty felt like she was living the life of a farm pig in the hospital. Everyone was raising her like a farm animal.
“That’s not true. In fact, I think that you’ve lost weight. Your face is a lot sharper.”
Serenity reached out to touch her sister’s face.
“Liberty, your skin feels much better too.”
“How could it not be when I’m using the luxury skincare products given by you and Elisa? If my skin showed no improvement,
you can go smash up the stores.”
Before Liberty divorced Hank, her skincare products were also given to her by her sister.
Back then, she was devoted to her family and was always busy cleaning up the house, buying and cooking food, and taking care
of her baby. She never took good care of herself, which led to Hank disliking her.
Serenity told her sister off for neglecting her beauty after marriage, but Liberty said there was no need to dress up anymore since
she was married.
Now, Liberty understood that a woman had to love herself well.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door.
Mrs. Lane quickly went to open the door.

It was Duncan.
He held another basket of fruit and a bouquet, followed by Lily.
Lily visited Liberty twice when she accompanied Mrs. Lewis.
It was her first time coming here with Duncan.
“Mr. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lane stepped aside and let Duncan and Lily enter.
“Missus, it’s Mr. Lewis and Ms. Harmon.”
Serenity’s beautiful eyes flashed as she glanced at her sister. When she saw that there was no suspicion on Liberty’s face, she
composed herself and greeted Duncan and Lily with her usual smile.
