She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 605: Disguise

It’s almost unbelievable that someone would voluntarily help Waylon Lewis out.

...

The Lewis Family.

Waylon Lewis finished his call and returned to the old man’s room.

The old man’s eyes, which were slightly red, lit up as Waylon walked back in. "Waylon, is there news about your parents?"

Nearby, Wyatt Lewis kept his composed expression, his gaze filled with anticipation as he looked at Waylon.

Waylon furrowed his brows slightly and replied in his calm, deep voice, "No."

The old man’s expression darkened again, his lips trembling.

Seeing the distress in the old man’s eyes, Waylon softened his tone and spoke steadily. "The search area will be expanded tomorrow. We will find them."

The old man heard Waylon’s words, but the pain in his eyes did not lessen. The chances of survival after a plane crash were exceedingly slim, and there had been no trace of them since. His son and daughter-in-law’s fate remained uncertain.

Searching, relentlessly searching, was all they could do now.

The feeling was utterly agonizing.

Wyatt, standing to the side, his handsome face taut, repeatedly clenched his hands hanging by his sides.

After a moment of silence, the old man finally spoke. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Alright, you two go get some rest. Don’t stay here with me; I’ll be fine."

Watching the old man pretending to be calm, Waylon sighed softly. "Please rest well. Mom and Dad will definitely be okay."

With that, Waylon and Wyatt walked out of the old man’s room together.

Wyatt gently closed the door, and the two brothers stood outside. Wyatt looked at Waylon and opened his mouth, "Brother, will Mom and Dad really be okay?"

When Wyatt asked this question, even his breathing seemed tense.

Waylon glanced at him, paused for a moment, then reached out and patted the back of his neck, his tone uncharacteristically gentle. "They’ll be fine."

Hearing Waylon say this, Wyatt felt his heart ease a little. He had trusted Waylon completely since childhood—as long as Waylon said it would be fine, their parents would surely return safely.

Wyatt lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.

Waylon, seeing this, frowned slightly. A six-foot-tall man bowing his head and wiping away tears...

"Why are you crying?" Waylon’s voice deepened.

Wyatt wiped his tears clean, then raised his head to look at his older brother, pursing his lips. His handsome face looked slightly aggrieved.

"Brother, your gesture just now was so affectionate. It’s been so long since you’ve spoken to me so kindly. I’m touched..."

Upon hearing these words, Waylon’s lips twitched, his face momentarily unsure of what expression to make.

Waylon briefly reflected on whether he had been too strict with his younger brother over the years.

But recalling how he’d previously tasked Wyatt with managing the company, only to see him sleeping, gaming, and loafing about, Waylon felt he had been far too lenient.

Waylon’s expression returned to its usual sternness. "Stop wasting time and help me with something."

"What kind of help?" Wyatt immediately perked up.

"Hope Williams is still in City A, and I’m worried Ted Williams might harm her. I can’t leave right now, so I need you to protect her. Stay alert and report any abnormalities to me."

Wyatt, upon hearing this, nodded solemnly without hesitation.

"Got it, Brother. Don’t worry, I’ll protect Sister-in-law. Even if I have to shed my skin, I won’t let her suffer even the slightest injury."

...

Meanwhile, Hope returned to Jade Bell’s hospital room. Jade hadn’t woken up yet, and two caregivers stood up to greet Hope as she entered.

Hope nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. I’ll stay with Grandma for a bit; you can take a break."

"Alright, Miss Williams."

The two caregivers left, leaving Hope alone with Jade in the hospital room. Hope sat by Jade’s bedside, her expression tinged with melancholy.

"Cousin."

A soft call brought Hope back from her thoughts. She turned to look at Harry Williams standing at the door and signaled the bodyguard at the entrance to let him in.

Harry walked in, his gaze falling on the still-unconscious Jade, and asked worriedly, "When will Grandma wake up?"

Hope shrugged lightly. "It’s still uncertain for now."

Harry pressed his lips together and said, "Cousin, I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of my brother."

Hearing this, Hope turned to look at Harry. Seeing his sorrowful expression, she raised her brows slightly and sighed helplessly, "It’s not necessary."

Harry’s expression dimmed.

"Instead of apologizing for him or pleading on his behalf, I’d much rather you avoid getting entangled in his affairs. Live your own life well. You don’t want your brother to dispute the Williams inheritance, but you can’t persuade him, can you? In that case, you’re better off being a bystander," Hope said with a faint expression.

Harry lowered his head silently after hearing this. "But he’s my brother; I can’t stand by and watch him stray further down a wrong path."

Harry sighed softly. "Cousin, is what you said at the Williams Group true? Did Grandpa take the fall for my brother and Luna?"

Hope lowered her eyes slightly and nodded gently. "Yes. To be precise, he didn’t know that Ted Williams was orchestrating things behind the scenes. At the time, he just wanted to protect Luna. If it weren’t for Ted’s scheming, none of this would’ve happened."

So, in essence, Maverick Williams took the blame for both of them.

Harry’s emotions became complicated. "I never expected my brother would turn out like this."

Hope lowered her gaze, thinking perhaps he hadn’t changed—this might’ve been his true self all along.

A man highly skilled at putting on a facade, never dropping his guard even around those he trusted most.

Hope looked at Harry but decided not to say these thoughts aloud. He’d been through enough hardship recently; it was better left unsaid.

After a while, Harry didn’t leave. He glanced at Hope and said, "Cousin, you’re still pregnant. You should go rest. I’ll stay here with Grandma."

"You’ll manage alone?"

"Don’t worry. Aren’t there doctors and caregivers here? You go rest. I’ll call you if Grandma wakes up or if there’s any news."

Hope sighed softly. "Alright, but make sure to call me if anything happens."

"I will. Go back and rest easy."

Hope nodded and walked out of the room, with Xiao Shi immediately following her.

As she walked, Hope gave instructions, "Xiao Shi, find two bodyguards to secretly protect Luna Williams."

Xiao Shi was puzzled. That woman was vile, malicious, and had repeatedly plotted against the Young Madam. Yet, the Young Madam was asking him to send people to protect her?

"Why, Young Madam?" Xiao Shi didn’t understand.

"Luna provoked Ted Williams during the press conference. I’m worried Ted might retaliate against her. Before settling accounts, if anything were to happen to her, it would actually hurt our position."

Xiao Shi only semi-understood but could only comply with Hope’s instructions.

Returning to the villa, she was alone. The vast space echoed softly as she walked.

Hope went to her room, freshened up, and lay in bed. She initially wanted to call Luke and Willow, but seeing it was already past ten, she figured they were asleep and decided not to disturb them.

She considered calling Waylon but thought he might be busy and didn’t want to bother him.

In the end, Hope simply opened the trending news about today’s events.

The situation was building up faster than she had anticipated, and the online community was abuzz with various opinions.

But thanks to Luna’s dramatic outburst, Ted Williams had successfully been thrust into the spotlight.

Ted repeatedly issued statements demanding evidence to prove his guilt, claiming anything less was slander.

Meanwhile, Hope’s final words during the press conference became ammunition for netizens to deflect Ted’s accusations.

"Didn’t Young Madam Lewis say she’ll present evidence in five days? Let’s wait and see. This time, I’m fully behind Young Madam Lewis. That Ted Williams guy has a sinister grin—it screams trouble. Plus, he hired reporters to target Young Madam Lewis. Outrageous."

"I’m supporting Young Madam Lewis too. Looking forward to the evidence in five days!"

"Feels like five days from now, the Williams Group is going to be a battlefield."

Hope browsed the comments for a while before turning off her phone, pulling up the blanket, and falling asleep. Likely due to her exhausting day, she quickly drifted off.

The next morning, Hope returned to the hospital to relieve Harry Williams.

Jade Bell showed no signs of waking up. Hope consulted the doctor, who explained that Jade’s condition remained serious and her waking would depend on her recovery.
