Zachary: “Where is Duncan now?”
The butler: “In the backyard. He was the only one, and no one of us is allowed to go to
the backyard. He said he wants to be quiet by himself, and doesn’t want everyone to
disturb him.”
Zachary paused, followed the butler into the house, first met Lu Mr. Lewis and Mrs.
Lewis, after a few words of greeting, Zachary got up and said to Mr. Lewis and his
wife, “Uncle, Auntie, let me go and see Duncan.”
Mr. Lewis nodded, “Go; you’re his best friend. Maybe he would like to see you.
Zachery, please enlighten Duncan and tell him not to worry. As soon as he is
discharged from the hospital, he wants to stand up and walk by himself, but he can’t

Mrs. Lewis’s face was full of distress and worry. She said, “I’m afraid that if he is so
impatient, it will backfire.”
Zachary hummed, “Auntie, I will persuade Duncan. I went to the backyard to find
Duncan.”
Zachary walked out of the main house and walked to the backyard.
He often came to the Lewis family’s old house and was very familiar with it. He didn’t
need anyone to guide him. He went to the backyard alone.
Duncan was practicing walking on a piece of lawn in the backyard.
His leg injury has not fully recovered, and every time he stood up, he had to endure
the piercing pain. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, shook his leg, and took a
hard step. His foot stepped on the grass.
He had to endure bursts of pain to stand still, and then he moved the other leg.
Often, after only taking two steps, he would throw himself down on the grass.
He chose to walk on the grass because he felt that it would not hurt too much if he fell.
When he fell down, he had to struggle to get up again, but he still persisted.
In order to be able to stand up again and walk again, his forehead and face were
covered with beads of sweat, which kept dripping like raindrops.
Because of the pain, his face also became pale and pale.
The two crutches had already been lying in the corner of the grass, quietly.
The lawn was surrounded by green belts; those green belts were pruned by the
gardener into blue flowers or animals. Duncan and the wheelchair were on the lawn;
when he fell to the ground and couldn’t get up, Zachary couldn’t see him.
When Zachary was passing by the lawn, he vaguely saw the wheelchair and stopped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen he walked into the lawn and saw Duncan crawling on the grass. He was
completely crawling on the ground with his face pressed against the grass.
Maybe he was too tired, he didn’t have the strength to support himself to stand up yet.
When Zachary came, Duncan knew it soon. He turned his head and saw that it was
Zachary, so he struggled to get up.
“Duncan.” Zachary quickly stepped forward to help him.
“Don’t help me, I can get up by myself!” Duncan immediately scolded his friend, not
letting him help him.
Zachary could only stand beside him, looking at him with great painstaking efforts to
get up, Zachary quickly pushed the wheelchair and let him sit down.
Seeing Duncan’s pale face and sweat all over his face, Zachary wanted to pack a
tissue and touched his trouser pocket, but he didn’t have a tissue.
