She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 71 - : Using the Child to Return to the Lewis Family

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Using the Child to Return to the Lewis Family

This mouth is too quick!

Wyatt Lewis blinked desperately, if his brother knew he almost accidentally revealed the existence of Luke and Willow to someone else, he surely wouldn’t see the sun tomorrow.

“Mom… Mom isn’t you…”

“Oh great, she kept saying she didn’t want to return to the Lewis Family, and now she’s pregnant. I said she was advancing by retreating. No wonder your brother protects her so diligently. I see, I see!”

“…” Wyatt watched Alitzel Williams dash upstairs with such speed, his shoulders suddenly drooped, feeling as if the sky was about to fall, he had made a mess.

“This lousy mouth of mine.” Wyatt slapped his own mouth hard and hurriedly chased after, “Hey… Mom… Mom!”

...

Hope Williams looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed, whose face was getting paler, and felt her heart wrench.

“Grandpa…” Hope softly called, “Hope is here to see you again.”

Hope took a deep breath, her tears on the verge of falling as she opened the medical kit to examine the old man, finding it much as she expected.

Hope found Grandpa’s acupoints and first sealed his heart veins. After finishing this, her gaze swept over to the medicine decoction the servant just brought in.

Hope’s clear eyes squinted, “Wait a moment.”

Hope took the medicine bowl, staring at the decoction for a few seconds with bright eyes, a look of understanding flashed through them, and she asked calmly, “Who prescribed this medicine?”

The servant holding the medicine answered, “Doctor Ward.”

Upon hearing this, Hope felt even more certain of her thoughts but said nothing, just took the bowl, “Hmm, I’ll feed Grandpa. You all can go about your business.”

“This…”

“Don’t you trust me?” Hope asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.

After a moment of hesitation, the servant nodded and handed over the medicine bowl to Hope, then quietly retreated.

Hope took out a glass test tube from the medical kit, poured some of the medicine into the test tube, sealed it, and took it back for analysis. Then, she discarded the remaining decoction.

As she expected, this wasn’t the medicine she prescribed, and there was definitely something wrong with this decoction. Although she didn’t yet know its ingredients, further analysis was needed to determine.

Just as she finished these actions, Waylon Lewis and Joy Ward entered the room one after the other. Hope calmly packed up her things, glancing over at Waylon Lewis, her gaze then meaningfully fell on Joy Ward.

If it was indeed her tampering with the decoction that aggravated Grandpa’s condition, Hope would definitely not let her go.

She urgently needed to take the decoction back for testing and had also prepared a new prescription, but one of the herbs was extremely rare; she had only seen it in the research institute of the leading hospital in Country Y. She needed to borrow this herb to make it work.

She had already sealed Grandpa’s acupoints, and there would be no danger for the time being. Originally not intending to stay long, she picked up the medical kit to leave, but seeing Joy Ward moving towards Grandpa Lewis, Hope’s eyes turned cold, and she raised a hand to directly block Joy’s path.

Joy Ward’s face was already unpleasant, and when Hope blocked her, the expression of hatred and gritted teeth seemed to wish to tear Hope apart.

It was all her fault. If it weren’t for her, Waylon wouldn’t have refused to marry her, and she wouldn’t be so humiliated today.

Full of hatred tangled within, if it weren’t for Waylon being here, Joy really wanted to slap Hope to vent her anger, but with Waylon present, she still had to maintain her gentle and lovely image, forcing a smile, she asked innocently and harmlessly, “Miss Williams, what are you doing?”

Hope’s face was expressionless, her voice cold, “I’ve already checked Grandpa, he needs to rest quietly, don’t disturb him.”

Joy seethed with anger, words squeezed out from between her teeth, “I am Grandpa Lewis’s attending doctor.”

“Rest assured, you won’t be for much longer.” Hope looked at Joy with icy eyes, she wouldn’t allow Joy to approach Grandpa anymore.

“I’m afraid you can’t make that decision.”

Hope saw no need to say anything further, everything would be made clear once the analysis results of the decoction came out. She raised her gaze to Waylon and said flatly, “Grandpa won’t be in trouble for the short term. I’ll come back tomorrow for further treatment, and if you trust me, don’t use any other prescriptions for Grandpa right now. As for why, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.”

“Waylon, don’t believe her…” Joy Ward hurriedly tried to argue.

She was the old man’s attending physician, so when Hope talked about others’ prescriptions, wasn’t she referring to hers?

What’s wrong with the medicine she prescribed? What right does Hope have to forbid its use? This was a massive insult and denial of her confident self. Hope had no right to deny her. How ridiculous—she immediately refuted Hope.

Waylon frowned slightly. Ever since Wyatt told him about that thing, he had been investigating; there were no surveillance cameras in Grandpa’s room, making it impossible to determine who was lying.

But Hope’s every visit and concern for Grandpa were genuine, and given Hope’s character, she certainly wouldn’t joke about Grandpa’s life.

Connecting these thoughts, Waylon was filled with doubts.

“Hope!”

Hope had just reached the door of the room when Alitzel Williams came storming over, not giving her any chance to react, lifted her hand, and swung it towards Hope’s face.

Hope was momentarily stunned; it happened so quickly, she couldn’t dodge it.

“Slap!” echoed the room.

The whole room fell silent, deathly silent.

Hope instinctively flinched her shoulders, but the expected pain didn’t come. When she looked up, she saw a tall figure of a man shielding her.

Alitzel’s hand had swiped across Waylon’s chin, making a loud slapping sound.

“Way… Waylon…” Alitzel was dumbfounded.

Waylon turned his head slightly, his face a bit icy.

Alitzel never expected that Waylon would suddenly protect Hope; she stiffly looked at her own hand and then at Waylon, her noble face filled with both anger and distress.

All this anger would undoubtedly be redirected at Hope. She glared at Hope with hatred.

“You really play a cunning play of advancing by retreating, full of lies. Why didn’t I notice your scheming before.”

This time, Hope was genuinely at a loss. Alitzel had always held resentment against her, but no matter what, with her good upbringing and composed demeanor, Alitzel would never resort to open violence.

Hope had no idea what she had done to warrant such a violent reaction.

“I don’t know why you’re so furious,” Hope said honestly.

Whatever the reason, at least give her one.

“You still pretend to be clueless. Hope, you really have a devious mind. You just want to use the child to return to the Lewis Family, how despicable.”

“How did you… find out?” Hope’s gaze trembled, the child… how did she know about Luke and Willow’s existence?
