Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1471
Mrs. Lewis thought about it and decided to see Liberty before visiting her friend.
With that in mind, she went to Liberty’s ward.
When the York bodyguards saw Mrs. Lewis coming, one of them went into the ward to tell Liberty.
The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis when she approached. They helped her knock on the door and opened the door for her.
“Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lane and another maid were dining in the small lounge. When they saw Mrs. Lewis come in, they quickly put down their
lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.
“Oh, you’re all eating? Don’t mind me and continue eating. I just came to see Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis left the house after eating.
Mrs. Lane still escorted her into the ward.
Liberty finished eating, but Sonny ate slowly. His mother fed him while saying, “Sonny, you can’t eat so slowly in the future. You’ll
have to eat by yourself when you go to preschool.”
“I know, Mom.”
Seeing Mrs. Lewis come in, Liberty passed the bowl to her son to let him eat by himself and was just about to get out of bed.
“Sit, Liberty. You’re still injured. Just sit.”
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly stepped forward to press Liberty down and stop her from getting out of bed. She did not like Liberty as her
daughter–in–law mainly because she felt that Liberty’s background was not worthy of the Lewis family. Furthermore, Liberty was
divorced and a single mother of a three–year–old child.
However, she was very moved by how Liberty risked her life to save her son.
“I’m much better now, Mrs. Lewis. I’ve recovered enough to be able to move freely. I’ll be fine as long as I don’t touch the
wound.”

The first two days, her wound hurt so much that she could not sleep well.
It was much better these days.
“Have you eaten, Mrs. Lewis?”
“I have. I have a friend who was also hospitalized and happened to be on the same floor as you, so I stopped by to see you,”
Mrs. Lewis explained. Her eyes sized Liberty up before lingering on her face.
She said in a tender voice, “You look much better now. When did the doctor say you could leave the hospital?”
“I can be discharged after another week.”
Mrs. Lewis hummed.
“Duncan came over earlier.”
Mrs. Lewis probed, “How long did he stay before leaving? I saw him just as he was leaving. He’s so busy with his work...”
Liberty was stunned. “Mr. Lewis came over? I didn’t see him.”
Mrs. Lewis was stunned in return. “You didn’t see him? Didn’t he come here to visit you?”
“I didn’t see him. Was he here to visit someone else? Maybe the other person’s ward happens to
be on this floor too.” Liberty added honestly, “Mr. Lewis is very busy, so he doesn’t come here often. Are you sure you saw him,
Mrs. Lewis?”
After saying that, she smiled sheepishly and said, “What am I saying? Mr. Lewis is your son. There’s no way you would’ve
mistaken someone else for him.”
Mrs. Lewis believed Liberty when she saw that Liberty did not seem to be lying.
She said, “Maybe he also came to visit a friend like I did. I thought he came here to see you. If he had just left, that means he
came over before lunch break. He’s a very busy man, and you’re recovering well, so he doesn’t need to come see you every day.
It won’t be good for him if work gets delayed.
“The business deals he works on are worth a lot of money and can’t be held up.”

Liberty was not a fool and knew what Mrs. Lewis meant. She said, “Yes, Mr. Lewis’s time is precious. He makes a fortune every
minute, but interpersonal relationships also need to be handled well. I think Mr. Lewis came to the hospital early before lunch
break to visit an important client or friend.
“Mr. Lewis has never come to my ward. I haven’t seen him again after that time he visited with
Ms. Harmon.”
