Chapter 2023
Serenity said to Zachary, “Even if your brothers come to you for help, as long as it is related to love, you shouldn’t help them in
any way, lest it turns out bad. If you’re a playboy and womanizer, I wouldn’t care about you, and you can advise them as much
as you want.”
“I’m not a playboy, nor am I a womanizer. I have an extremely low EQ, and Josh often roasts me for having a negative EQ.
“When they encounter difficulties in pursuing their wives in the future, I’ll let them ask you for advice.”
Zachary gave Serenity the opportunity to help his brothers. That way, she would have more authority and a more stable position
in front of them.
“About Julian pursuing Elisa—”
“You mustn’t let her know.”
“I can help keep it a secret for you for now, but it’s also very troubling for Julian to keep doing this.”
Zachary asked, “How about I talk to Julian and ask him to show up less?”
Serenity wanted to agree to it right away, but she said after some thought, “Let’s wait and see. Once Remy and Elisa are
engaged and stable, you can talk to Julian. However, I suppose he would stop acting at that time.
“Julian is only doing this to urge Remy and Elisa to settle down quickly. If they don’t, those young talents in Wiltspoon will live in
fear.”
“Right?”
Zachary empathized with his cousin, who was troubled by being tortured by Mrs. Stone.
“With Julian as a comparison, Aunt Audrey favors Remy more. We can’t deny Julian’s contribution to this.”
Julian would have complained about how he was worse than Remy.
However, it was because he was sick!
The woman who married him would be destined to be a widow.
Mrs. Stone could not let her daughter be widowed, so she thought that Remy was better than Julian.
“Honey, let’s not talk about them. Let’s go eat.”
“Okay.”
Serenity got up.
She had to go back to the bookstore to help out in the afternoon. There were also the handmade crafts she used to make, where
she had handed over the online store to her old classmate. There were still a lot of raw materials in the bookstore, so she asked
her old classmate to go over in the afternoon to hand those materials to that classmate.
Serenity was too busy at the moment. She could not spare time to run the online store anymore, and it had been a long time
since she had knitted any craft.
...
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Liberty received a call from her former in-laws and found out that her ex-husband had awakened and
was transferred from the ICU to a general ward. She bought some fruits and supplements to visit him in the hospital.
Hank had awakened, but his mental state was still very poor.
He slept most of the time.
Luckily, the doctor said that his life was no longer in danger. Even though he was mainly sleeping at the moment, it would not be
too much of a worry.
The doctor said that Hank had a strong desire to live. Among the patients who entered the ICU with him that day, he was the
only one who came out.
Liberty found Hank’s ward and knocked on the door.
“It’s probably the food deliveryman.”
Liberty heard her ex-mother-in-law’s voice.
Soon, the ward door opened.
“Mrs. Brown.”
Liberty greeted her ex-mother-in-law.
“Ah, it’s you, Liberty. Please come in.”
Mrs. Brown was happy to see Liberty. She immediately moved aside to let Liberty come in. She also nagged her for buying too
many things over.
