She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 137 - : Kick Her into the Water
Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Kick Her into the Water
Wyatt Lewis quickly followed behind and, seeing Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams both soaked through, his face darkened and he couldn’t help but hasten his steps over. “Brother, sister-in-law, what happened?”
Hope Williams was soaked through, her originally form-fitting dress clinging to her body, accentuating her perfect figure even more provocatively. Waylon Lewis, towering in stature, half-enveloped Hope, shielding her from all prying eyes.
“Clothes.” Waylon Lewis said coldly.
Wyatt glanced at himself, “… Brother, I only have one on!”
Waylon Lewis’s expression darkened.
Wyatt reacted quickly, immediately turned and patted Thomas Hughes, who understood instantly and took off his suit jacket, handing it to Waylon Lewis.
...
Waylon Lewis draped it over Hope Williams and bent down to pick her up.
Just then, Mia Fuller, hearing the commotion, also came out with others and, seeing the scene before her, her eyes darkened, her expression quickly turning to worry.
“Brother Waylon, Sister Hope, what happened?” Mia Fuller asked, casting a glance at Joy Ward who was splashing in the pool.
Waylon Lewis’s face was terribly grim as he held Hope Williams and began to walk away without answering.
Mia Fuller’s eyes shifted, she bit her lip and hurriedly followed, saying, “Brother Waylon, you and Sister Hope are both wet, going out now you’ll catch a cold, better change clothes before you leave.”
Waylon Lewis looked down at the person in his arms, not bearing to let her catch a cold, and then slowly turned his gaze towards Mia Fuller and said gravely, “Thanks for the trouble.”
“It’s no trouble, come to my room. Sister Hope and I are about the same size, I have new clothes in my room, Sister Hope can make do with them.”
Hope Williams softly said, “Thank you.”
Mia Fuller led them to her room, her gaze drifting to the side, she noticed Alexander Knox also drenched.
Her brows slightly furrowed, obviously, Waylon Lewis wasn’t the only one who had jumped down to save someone.
Well, Alexander Knox as well.
What was Alexander Knox’s relation to Hope Williams? He never interfered in other people’s affairs, let alone diving in without hesitation to save someone, getting himself in such a mess.
Mia Fuller withdrew her gaze with this slight doubt.
Joy Ward, struggling alone, had finally managed to climb up, her gown heavy with water. She hadn’t even caught her breath when a strong kick to her back sent her tumbling back down.
“Plunge.” A splash.
“Ah!”
Caught off guard, Joy Ward was kicked into the water, violently swallowing several mouthfuls in her frantic struggle in the pool.
“Help… help…”
Everyone stared agape in disbelief at Wyatt Lewis.
Wyatt Lewis tugged at his lip, scoffing twice.
He turned around to meet everyone’s astonished gazes.
He sneered, “What are you looking at? It wasn’t on purpose.”
The crowd was left speechless.
Not on purpose?
You directly kicked someone into the water!
How can you say it wasn’t intentional?
After giving Hope Williams the clothes, Mia Fuller left the room where Waylon Lewis was standing at the doorway.
Noticing his worried look, Mia Fuller’s brow furrowed deeply but then relaxed, she approached and caringly said, “Brother Waylon, you should change as well, there are clothes in my brother’s room, I’ll get you a set.”
Waylon Lewis didn’t refuse, “Thanks a lot.”
Mia Fuller walked a few steps forward, then turned back with a gentle smile, “Brother Waylon, no need to be so formal with me.”
Indeed, Mia Fuller’s figure was quite similar to Hope Williams. The clothes she brought for Hope were a body-hugging long suit dress. Once dressed and with her handbag from the table, Hope went out.
Mia Fuller was standing at the doorstep as the door opened she turned around, her gaze falling on Hope Williams, her molars clenched tight.
Why, even the most ordinary dress she picked looked so classy on her?
A sinister glint flashed in the depths of Mia Fuller’s eyes, but as she met Hope Williams’ gaze, her smile was innocently full, “Sister Hope, Brother Waylon is changing clothes, he asked you to wait downstairs for him.”
“Alright.” Hope Williams nodded, “How much is this outfit? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Hope Williams wouldn’t just take something for nothing.
Mia Fuller hurriedly said, “It wasn’t much, Sister Hope, you really don’t have to be so formal, it’s just a piece of clothing to me.”
Hope Williams pretended to open her handbag, and fortunately, the texture of the handbag was waterproof, so her cellphone inside wasn’t wet.
Mia Fuller panicked and quickly said, “Sister Hope, really, there’s no need, really no need.”
A flicker of suspicion passed through Hope Williams’s eyes; she lowered her gaze discreetly and glanced inside the handbag.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and then, closing the handbag, she smiled, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Mia Fuller regained her innocent smile.
Hope Williams took two steps forward, leaned in closer to Mia Fuller with a bright and charming smile, and said softly, “Thank you.”
Mia Fuller returned with a proper smile, “You’re welcome.”
Hope Williams slowly went downstairs.
Mia Fuller watched Hope Williams’s departing figure, and the smile on her face gradually faded; for some reason, Hope Williams’s smile earlier felt particularly strange.
Mia Fuller didn’t dwell on it and proceeded as planned.
Hope Williams descended the stairs unhurriedly and waited in the banquet hall downstairs for Waylon Lewis.
At that moment, a calling voice came from behind, “Wait, Sister Hope.”
Hope Williams’s lips curved up—she knew it was coming.
“What is it?” Hope Williams asked.
Mia Fuller, running hurriedly and slightly out of breath, asked, “Sister Hope, did you accidentally take something from my room just now?”
Hope Williams’s brow twitched slightly; she looked at her calmly, “What?”
“There was a sapphire necklace in my room that’s now missing; Sister Hope, did you see it when you were in my room?”

Hope Williams’s expression was indifferent.
“No.”
Mia Fuller’s delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her face filled with worry; her fingers trembled with urgency, “What should I do? That necklace was left to me by my mother, it is my most precious possession.”
She turned to a maid nearby, anxiously asking, “Think carefully, where did you put it?”
The maid, terrified, immediately knelt down, “Miss, I really put it in your room’s cabinet, I really don’t know how it’s gone.”
The maid’s act of kneeling and her cries drew the attention of others, who involuntarily gathered around, asking with concern, “What’s happened, Miss Fuller?”
“What is going on?”
“My sapphire necklace is missing, it’s the only thing my mother left me, it’s very precious, if it’s lost, I really don’t know what I’d do.” Mia Fuller lowered her head, tears almost in her eyes, looking pitiful, which immediately drew the sympathy of those around.
“The sapphire necklace, is it called Blue Netherworld?”
“That’s the one.”
“Oh my, that is the Fuller Family’s heirloom passed down from generation to generation, the whole necklace is made up of eighteen top-tier sapphires, I was fortunate enough to see it once—it’s stunning, flawlessly perfect, such a valuable item, who would dare to steal it?”
“Could it be this maid being greedy and stealing it?” someone suggested.
The maid cried even louder, immediately saying, “Miss, I really didn’t take it, even if you loaned me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare take your things, especially such a precious gem necklace.”
Mia Fuller furrowed her brows, bent down, and helped up the maid from the floor, then addressing everyone said, “Aunt Snow has been with our family for over a decade; if she was going to steal, she would have done so a long time ago, it couldn’t have been her.”
Hearing Mia Fuller say this herself, everyone’s gaze shifted away from the maid.
“Who could have stolen it then? Miss Fuller, think carefully, who else has been in your room?”
Mia Fuller furrowed her brows tightly and slowly lifted her head; her troubled gaze involuntarily fell on Hope Williams.
“Right, Miss, after that, only Miss Williams entered your room, no one else did,” the maid quickly said.
Mia Fuller, “This…”
Followed by Mia Fuller’s gaze, all eyes turned to Hope Williams quietly standing aside.
The woman had changed into a simple business dress and removed her makeup; her neatly groomed long hair had also fallen down, yet her beauty remained unmatched.
“Are you suspecting it’s me?” Hope Williams’s gaze fixed unwaveringly on Mia Fuller.
Mia Fuller pursed her lips, looking somewhat conflicted, and lowered her head, but she said nothing.
Her silence was akin to tacit consent.
Observers, witnessing this scene, immediately on catching Hope Williams’s eyes, changed their expressions.
“Miss, you better return the necklace soon; that’s the Fuller family’s heirloom, no ordinary item.”
