Chapter 3729 - Duncan said, "I was so focused on seeing you that I forgot everything else. When I walked toward you, I forgot I'm still recovering."

Before he could say more, Liberty gently pressed her hand to his lips.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Don't say you're disabled," she said firmly. "You're just temporarily unable to move. You'll get better."

Duncan's eyes were full of admiration for her, and he smiled. “Alright, I won't say that again. I will get better. For you, I'll stand on my own again."

"You're already standing, but you can't walk too far yet," Liberty said, supporting him. "Do you want to go back to my office first?"

"Are you finished?" Duncan asked, glancing at the sky. "It's getting dark, though it's only five o'clock. Winter days are short, and it's cloudy today, so it feels darker."

"I'm done," Liberty replied.

"Then let's go eat. I'm hungry," Duncan said.

He didn't want to go into her office, knowing he'd end up staying longer. He preferred to head back to the hotel so the bodyguards wouldn't need to follow. After dinner, they could take a walk and talk. He had missed her deeply and had a lot on his mind.

Usually, she worked late into the night, and even though he missed her, he waited patiently until she was free for a video call. Sometimes, she also needed to talk to her son, Sonny, before resting.

"Alright, let's head to the hotel," Liberty said, helping him turn and walk out. "Miss Hunt," the two bodyguards greeted respectfully. Liberty smiled and nodded at them.

"I'll call Jim and have him bring the car around," she said, but just as she reached for her phone, Jim had already driven up.

"Ms. Hunt, Mr. Lewis," Jim said as he parked, stepping out to help Duncan into the car with Liberty.

A second car pulled up behind them, and Duncan's bodyguards got into their own vehicle.

As the car started moving, Duncan couldn't resist hugging Liberty.

She hugged him back with emotion, but they quickly let go, remembering Jim was there, focused on driving.

"Have you sorted everything at your company?" Liberty asked gently.

"Yes, everything's under control. I've got three brothers helping me, so there's no need to worry," Duncan replied, still holding her hand tightly.

"I've wanted to come see you for a

long time, but I was nervous. I was afraid I'd hold you back," he confessed. "Liberty, do you think I'm useless? I wasn't there when you needed me most."

He was referring to when Sonny was kidnapped. He hadn't been there, and when he finally arrived, Liberty had been lying in a pool of blood. The memory of that moment out

him deeply, filling him with pain and

fear.

In that moment, he realized how much he loved her. He couldn't lose her. Thankfully, his prayers were answered, and Liberty survived. Now, she was fine, but once again, he wasn't able to be by her side when she faced danger. Even though he had arranged for people to protect her and things seemed safer than before, he was still worried, afraid, and could only wait for good news.
