She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 171 - Hope Williams is Missing Again
Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Hope Williams is Missing Again
“Are you clear on everything?”
“The kidnapper of Miss Williams was sent by Weston Morris, and the whip wounds on Miss Williams were inflicted by Joy Ward. Liam Cloud caused a huge scene at the Morris family home, and Weston Morris is still lying in the hospital, reportedly with severe injuries. Joy Ward barely had a breath left in her when she was thrown out of the Morris home; a passerby saved her, and she’s in the ICU, still not out of danger.”
Waylon Lewis’s furrowed brow emitted a chill, “They don’t need to wake up.”
“Understood.”
…
Hope Williams lifted her hand and gently wiped away the tear streaks on Luke and Willow’s faces, “Alright, no more crying, be good.”
“Hmph, bad Daddy, you didn’t tell us that Mommy was hurt on purpose,” Luke looked at Hope with utmost distress.
Hope blinked, evidently, Waylon hadn’t told Luke and Willow about her own condition.
Just last night she had still been critically ill.
So he dared not tell Luke and Willow, fearing he couldn’t bear the outcome himself, and fearing they would be heartbroken, so he hadn’t told anyone.
In doing so, Waylon had done nothing wrong.
“Luke and Willow, don’t blame your Daddy,” Hope said softly as she massaged their little heads, “He’s been very thoughtful. He didn’t want you to worry, understand?”
Luke and Willow blinked, “I don’t believe it, he just wants to have Mommy all to himself and doesn’t want us to see Mommy.”
Disregarding today, Hope had been gone a total of eight days, during which Luke and Willow had been driven mad with worry.
“Luke!” Hope said with a bit more force in her voice and couldn’t help but feel additional sympathy for Waylon, “You really misunderstand him. Your Daddy isn’t so childish. He’s worried about me and has his own helplessness.”
These past days he had borne all the anxiety and stress alone.
Until she woke up, he had notified them at the earliest opportunity.
He hadn’t done anything wrong—in Hope’s shoes, she would have done the same.
He loved her and the children, he was saddened by her injury, and he didn’t want the kids to be sad too.
Perhaps Luke and Willow couldn’t yet understand Waylon, but Hope knew, she knew everything.
In the evening, Hope had someone take Luke and Willow home; in her current state, she was unable to take care of them and insisted that Waylon rest well without letting him visit.

The attending doctor came in to check on Hope’s injuries, and upon seeing the empty room, couldn’t help but find it odd, prompting an extra question, “Dr. Williams, isn’t your husband here today?”
“Mm, I asked him to go home and rest.”
The attending doctor started the IV for Hope, “He should rest. During these days you were unconscious, every time we doctors came in, we could see him sitting by your side, not leaving for a moment.
The way he looked at you was so filled with love and deep concern, in my whole life, I’ve never seen such a look in any other man’s eye; even the young nurses in our department get teary-eyed every time they see it.”
“I was unconscious for seven days, and he never left?” Hope knew Waylon had probably spent most of his time with her, but she never imagined he had spent all his time here.
But his company is so busy…
“Yes, after every checkup on you, he would always ask, ‘Is she waking up soon?’ We really didn’t have the heart to tell him that you could possibly…”
Never wake up at all.
After the doctor left, Hope Williams stayed alone in the quiet hospital room, with her thoughts quietly surging at the core of her heart.
Her heart ached as if it had been pricked, a tingling pain spreading through it.
Seven days, one hundred and sixty-eight hours, repeated critical condition notices, irregular heartbeat after heartbeat, each minute and each second must have been torture for him.
He told no one, bearing it all while he stayed with her, enduring everything.
Hope’s lips trembled, and her nose turned red involuntarily; she lifted her hand and took out her phone from under the pillow to video call Waylon.
The moment Waylon answered, as Hope expected, he was at the company.
His handsome face appeared on the phone screen, and his gentle voice sounded, “What’s wrong?”
“Waylon Lewis…”
“Wait a minute.” Waylon Lewis lifted his eyes and waved his hand, probably signaling the person in front to leave, “Alright, what’s wrong? Why are your eyes red? Did you miss me? I’ll come back to be with you now.”
“Waylon Lewis…” Hope Williams called him softly.
Noticing that Hope Williams’s mood was off, Waylon Lewis’s gaze darkened, and his voice grew gentler as if he feared scaring her, “What’s wrong?”
Waylon Lewis’s cautiousness made Hope Williams’s chest swell, “Nothing, I just missed you.”
“I’ll come over now.”
“No need to come over, I just wanted to see you, do a surprise check-up. Didn’t you promise you’d go and rest? Why are you back at work?” Hope Williams scolded him lightly, “Do you think you’re made of iron? You’ve been with me at the hospital for so many days, and now you’re working overtime at this hour. Are you trying to make me worry about you?”
Hope Williams’s rebuke was full of care.
Waylon Lewis obediently listened to her tirade, his heart melting completely, and he chuckled in a low hoarse voice, “You’re worried about me?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Hope Williams retorted as a matter of course.
Waylon Lewis paused.
“So you’re planning to go to rest now?” Hope Williams kept urging him as she looked at Waylon Lewis’s slightly tired handsome face.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
“Your office has a rest area, right?”
Waylon Lewis got up and headed toward the rest area, “Yes.”
“Good, get some sleep.”
“Don’t hang up.” Waylon Lewis lay down on the bed in the rest area, “Stay with me for a while.”
“Alright, I’m here with you. Go to sleep.”
“Mhm.”
Waylon Lewis slowly closed his eyes. Hope Williams did not hang up the phone and lay down herself, looking at Waylon Lewis’s handsome face.
Hope Williams yawned and her eyelids began to tremble, gradually falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, a tall silhouette quietly entered the tranquil hospital ward.
The next day.
When Hope Williams woke up, there was no one beside her, and the familiar scent of disinfectant was absent. She was startled and then realized she was in an unfamiliar environment.
“You’re awake.”
Hearing the voice, Hope Williams then noticed a man walking by the floor-to-ceiling window. The outside sunlight poured in through the huge glass, shining on his hair and casting a silver light.
“Liam Cloud?” Hope Williams looked at him with surprise.
Liam Cloud snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and walked over, looking down at her, “Mhm.”
“Why am I here with you?”
She was clearly on the phone with Waylon Lewis in the hospital. She had fallen asleep while talking, and now she woke up in a completely unfamiliar place. If it wasn’t for seeing Liam Cloud, she would really be worried that she had been abducted again.
“What do you think?” Liam Cloud looked at her with a smile, “Did your brain get a little rattled?”
“It’s you who’s rattled.” Hope Williams retorted annoyedly, “Why did you bring me here? Hurry up and take me back.”
What if Waylon Lewis thought she had been kidnapped again?
Hope Williams’s concern was justified.
At this moment, the hospital was in complete chaos.
Hope Williams had disappeared again…
