She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 639: Let Ted Williams Take Her Back

Willow pouted her little lips and blinked, as if she were carefully thinking about what had happened yesterday.

"Because... because Grandpa and Grandma... Willow doesn’t know what happened to Grandpa and Grandma, but Mommy, Second Uncle, and Uncle Liam Cloud talked about them, and... Mommy wasn’t happy."

Mentioning Hope Williams’ unhappiness, Willow’s beautiful little face crinkled as well. Her big eyes shimmered, as though she might burst into tears any second.

Waylon Lewis’s expression darkened slightly. He immediately understood—Hope Williams must have found out about the plane crash.

After a few seconds, Waylon Lewis said, "Alright, I understand. Let Mommy sleep some more. Don’t disturb her. When she wakes up, ask her to give me a call."

Willow obediently nodded her head. "Okay! I’ll definitely tell Mommy what Daddy said."

"Good girl."

Waylon Lewis coaxed Willow into sleeping a bit more and hung up the phone.

Willow was indeed still sleepy. She set the phone aside and snuggled closer to Hope Williams, continuing to sleep.

Hope Williams woke up at eight o’clock. The sky outside was already bright. She sat up and stared at the scenery outside the window for a while. She blinked her eyes and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing the two little ones sleeping quietly beside her, Hope Williams’s heart softened. She tucked the blanket around them and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

By the time Hope Williams finished freshening up and changing her clothes, the two little ones on the bed were already awake.

They were sitting on the big bed in their cartoon pajamas, looking adorably dazed. It was unbearably cute.

"Good morning, my darlings." Hope Williams wiped her hands and walked toward the two little ones.

Willow, having slept again, didn’t forget the task Daddy had entrusted her with. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She climbed out of bed, grabbed her phone, and dashed into Hope Williams’s arms with her short little legs. "Mommy, Daddy says he misses you!"

Hope Williams blinked, thinking the little girl must have been dreaming.

Luke thought Willow was dreaming too.

He even felt like he’d dreamed—he’d dreamt of Willow talking to herself in her sleep.

Hope Williams smiled gently at Willow. "Really? What else did Daddy say?"

"Willow told Daddy that Mommy wasn’t happy. Daddy said Mommy should call him back when she woke up." Willow spoke seriously, holding the phone up and shaking it in front of Hope Williams.

"He called me?"

"Yes! But Mommy was still asleep, so Willow answered for you."

Hope Williams blinked and took the phone to check. Sure enough, there was a call history. Only then did she confirm that Willow wasn’t dreaming.

"What did Willow say to Daddy?"

"I said Mommy wasn’t happy because of Grandpa and Grandma," Willow immediately replied.

Hope Williams’s expression subtly changed.

Noticing the change in Hope Williams’s face, Willow asked, "Mommy, what’s wrong?"

Hope Williams composed herself. "Nothing. You two go freshen up first. Mommy will bring your clothes over later. I’ll call Daddy now."

"Okay."

Luke pulled Willow along to freshen up.

Once the two little ones were in the bathroom, Hope Williams walked to the window with her phone, paused for a second, and dialed Waylon Lewis’s number.

The moment the call connected, "You found out?"

"You found out?" Both spoke simultaneously.

Waylon Lewis paused. His voice was heavy. "Yeah, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you earlier because I didn’t want you to worry."

Hope Williams took a deep breath. "I know."

She knew everything. That’s why she felt so much heartache for Waylon Lewis—heartache that he had endured the most agonizing times all on his own, while she remained oblivious.

A stretch of silence fell over the call.

Waylon Lewis could imagine Hope Williams’s current feelings: guilt, self-blame, fear.

He desperately wanted to hold her and comfort her.

With a sigh, he softened his usually cold voice as much as possible. "This isn’t your fault. Don’t take the blame. Focus on handling things in A City. I’ve got everything under control here in Emperor Capital."

Hope Williams pressed her lips together. "Alright. I’ll wrap things up here as quickly as possible and come back."

"Okay."

Just then, knocks sounded at the door.

Hope Williams turned to look. "Who is it?"

"Madam, it’s me."

It was Shaun’s voice. If Shaun was looking for her, it must be to report something.

Hope Williams told Waylon Lewis she had to go and hung up the phone, walking over to open the door.

"What’s the matter?"

Shaun reported, "Madam, the Carter Family is in chaos, and Ted Williams has gone to the Carter Family estate. It looks like he’s planning to take Luna Williams away."

Luna Williams showing up at the Carter Family was already enough to provoke Emily Parker, who had always loathed them. For someone like Emily Parker, there was no way she wouldn’t cause a commotion.

Noah Carter could probably protect one Luna Williams, but Emily Parker’s uproar changed the situation entirely.

Lost in thought, Hope Williams’s phone suddenly vibrated.

She pressed her lips together—it was Old Master Parker calling.

Sliding her finger across the screen, she picked up the call. Old Master Parker’s stern voice rang out, "Little Hope, I’ve heard about the shares. Come to the Carter Family estate as well."

Old Master Parker’s heavy tone carried undisguised anger. He quickly relayed the instruction and waited for Hope Williams’s reply.

Since Old Master Parker had personally called about the matter of the shares, Hope Williams had no reason not to go. "Alright."

Carter Family estate.

"Noah Carter, haven’t I compromised enough for you? You want to prepare dowries for both of them? Fine, I agreed. And now, what are you doing? Doesn’t she have her own family? What right does she have to stay at the Carter estate?"

"Luna is my daughter. What’s wrong with her staying here? Besides, she doesn’t plan to stay permanently. Are you really upset over a single room or a single meal?"

Emily Parker’s face twisted in anger. Her glaring eyes locked with Noah Carter’s. Luna Williams had a visible handprint on her face, looking disheveled as she hid behind Noah Carter, silently sobbing.

When Luna Williams arrived at the Carter estate, Noah Carter was initially delighted. His daughter was willing to get closer to him rather than remain distant as before, and he was naturally happy.

But he hadn’t expected Emily Parker to explode so vehemently just after he tried to discuss the matter amicably with her this morning.

She rushed forward, grabbed Luna Williams by the collar, and dragged her down. Noah Carter couldn’t tolerate this.

The two went head-to-head, arguing furiously. Emily Parker felt wronged and called Old Master Parker to come and back her up.

Now faced with Noah Carter’s angry glare, Emily Parker completely broke down. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked pitifully at the stern-faced Old Master Parker. "Dad, you’ve got to stand up for me. Your daughter’s been bullied like this!"

"You two fight minor battles every other day and major wars every three days. Are you even trying to live together anymore?"

Noah Carter gritted his teeth. "Dad, I’ve proposed divorce to her, but she refuses."

"I won’t agree! Why should I divorce? Noah Carter, mark my words—I’ll live and die with the Carter Family. Don’t even think about cutting ties with me!"

Noah Carter was so enraged he couldn’t speak.

Old Master Parker looked at his daughter, feeling a mix of frustration and resentment. What was the point of staying tied to a man who had no feelings for her? Why trap both herself and him? Was it worth it?

Old Master Parker’s breathing grew heavy. "Enough. If you don’t want to divorce, then make your marriage work properly. Stop causing trouble. If you could show just a little more tolerance, things wouldn’t have reached this point."

"Dad..."

Old Master Parker ignored her and turned to Noah Carter instead. "And you—Emily is your wife, the mistress of this house. You should discuss major and minor issues with her before making decisions. Do I, an old man, still have to teach you these things?"

Old Master Parker was impartial, scolding both sides equally.

Noah Carter furrowed his brows. He knew this principle very well. He wanted to discuss things with Emily Parker, but she just wouldn’t listen.

"Exactly!"

Emily Parker grew more assertive. "Anyway, I’ve already called the Williams Family. If she doesn’t leave, I’ll have them come pick her up."

"I won’t go!" Luna Williams burst out, her face full of defiance.

"Won’t go? Ted Williams is already on his way here. This is my house, and if I say you’re leaving, then you’ll get out!"
