Chapter 268
Fatty liver could progress to cirrhosis if it became severe, and Liberty was determined not to become a cirrhotic patient.
Having exited the community, Liberty pushed her son’s stroller toward the store to purchase formula.
Previously, it was always her sister who assisted her in buying the formula and bringing it home.
Although it was a bit far to walk, she considered it an opportunity for shopping and exercise.
“Daddy.”
Sonny suddenly called for his father.
Liberty looked around anxiously but did not see Hank Brown.
“Sonny, did you see Daddy?” she asked her son.
Sonny pointed at a car parked by the roadside while calling for his father.
He meant that the car was his father’s.
Liberty glanced at the vehicle her son was indicating. It was the same make and model as her husband’s, but the license plate did not belong to Hank Brown.
She smiled. “Sonny, that’s not Daddy’s car. It just looks similar. The plate is different, so it’s not your daddy’s car.”
The child rarely interacted with his father yet could remember his father’s car.
Liberty thought her son must be missing his father and said, “Sonny, do you miss Daddy? Mommy will call him so you can talk to him, okay?”
Since Hank Brown moved back home, he continued to leave early and return late, just like before. Liberty had stopped waiting for him, and he even ceased going home for lunch, opting instead to eat out.
Liberty couldn’t be bothered to care, either.
The incident of domestic violence had created a barrier in their relationship that neither could overcome.
Liberty did not believe she was at fault.
Hank was even less inclined to accept any blame. There was no way he would lower his pride.
and acknowledged he was wrong to Liberty. Regardless of the state of their relationship, the two were now uneasy partners.
Despite their difficulties, Hank remained Sonny’s biological father.
“Okay,” Sonny replied obediently.
Liberty then retrieved her phone from the pouch on the stroller, a habit she had developed for convenience whenever she left the house.
After connecting with Hank, there was a lengthy pause before he answered.
“What now?”
Hank Brown’s tone was far from friendly.
He was currently at a business reception at the Wiltspoon Hotel, accompanied by Jessica Yates. Everyone present was either an industry elite or a manager of large and small companies.
“Your son misses you,” Liberty said hastily, sensing his unkind mood. She quickly handed the phone to Sonny so he could talk with his father.
Sonny took the phone and cheerfully said, “Daddy.”
Although Hank treated Liberty poorly, he spoke gently to his son. He said a few things, not caring if Sonny understood, and within two minutes, he said, “Sonny, Daddy’s going to work now, okay? When Daddy earns some money, I’ll buy you some toys.”
“Not giving to guh,” Sonny replied suddenly.
Hank was momentarily taken aback before realizing his son was likely referring to his sister’s third child, who often tried to take Sonny’s toys.
He chuckled and said, “Okay, okay. Daddy will only buy toys for Sonny, not for him. Sonny, pass the phone back to your mommy. Daddy wants to say a few things to Mommy.” Sonny obediently returned the phone to his mother.
