She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor - Chapter 54

Hope Williams returned to her office wanting to write the academic paper she’d been
mulling over for the pa st few days, but after typing a few words, her mind wandered
away.
The events of today had indeed caught her off guard, but what made her think deeply
afterward was the sudden onset of the old man’s illness, the cause of which she
couldn’t figure out.
Howe ver, after today’s incident, she suddenly realized that during the entire treatment
process for Grandpa Lewis, the only thing that didn’t go through her hands was the
medication. She had also noticed during her examination of Grandpa Lewis yesterday
that h is breathing and heartbeat were all disrupted. If it wasn’t an external psychological
factor causing this, then it must have been the medication.
Yesterday, she was too focused on her own prescription to consider anything wrong
with the medicine. But now i t seemed quite likely that the medicine Grandpa Lewis took
was not from her prescription and was probably switched by Joy Ward.
Hope leaned on the desk with her elbow, her hand resting against her forehead, deep in
thought. Various messy details flashed th rough her mind, and she scolded herself for
not being more cautious.
The phone rang. Hope brushed the stray hairs on her smooth forehead and collected
her thoughts, glancing at the screen. It was an unknown number.
Hope picked up the phone suspiciously.
“H ello, Hope Williams, wouldn’t you ever contact me if I didn’t call you?” The deep
magnetic voice on the other end resounded.
Hope took a deep breath — it was him again. She pursed her lips and asked calmly, “Do
you need something?”
“Of course!”
“Ha…” Hope ra ised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, “Well then, son, let’s hear it quick.
Daddy is listening.”
“…”

Listening to Hope’s playful tone, Liam Cloud was rather surprised. She had a lot going
on recently, everything reaching his ears, yet she still managed to laugh; her attitude
was impressive.
“You can still laugh? Good!”
“Speak up if you have something to say; quit beating around the bush!” Holding the
phone, Hope walked to the window, watching the slowly setting sun paint the sky red.
Glancing at her watch, she noted that there was not much left to do today at the
department, and she could leave on time to pick up Luke and Willow from school.
“Some people are investigating you — actually, to be precise, they’re investigating the
children.”
Hope’s brow furrowed, her usually indifferent eyes darkening.
“Who?”
“Lewis Family.”
Liam had the largest intelligence network; his informants were spread across business
and political circles. He could find out anything he wanted with just a little effort .
The Lewis Family? The only person in the Lewis family who knew about the children’s
existence was Waylon Lewis, so it must be him investigating the children.
Hope clenched the phone tighter.
Silence lingered for a while. He indeed had not given up on fin ding the children. Hope
glanced at her watch again, her mood anxious, wishing she could fly to the school and
bring the children back to her side to ease her worries.
“Also, someone is investigating your identity as Cynthia.”
“Who?” Hope asked as she start ed to gather her things, preparing to head to the school.
“Lewis Family.”
That wasn’t a surprise to Hope, they probably wanted her to treat Grandpa Lewis — no,
Cynthia to treat the old man.
“It’s interesting, indeed, using such a broad network to find you — ye t the real Cynthia is
right in front of them, fighting hard to treat the old man, and they still drive you away.
You tell me, don’t their eyes deserve to be plucked out?”

In this madly low tone, Hope detected a hint of cruelty and bloodlust, wondering what
crazy methods he might be thinking of.
“What’s your ex - husband’s name again?” Liam paused, clicking his tongue twice, “Ah,
remembered now, Waylon Lewis, his eyes would be best to pluck out…”
“Liam Cloud!” Hope took a deep breath, her voice stern and cold.
He was never one just to talk idle; if he said something, he meant it.
But the Lewis Family, the top - tier affluent family in Emperor Capital, was not easy to
provoke, and Waylon Lewis was not someone easy to talk to — ruthless and decisive in
his actions.
T his madman, bloodthirsty and brutal, without mercy, Hope couldn’t imagine what kind
of bloody storm would ensue if these two tyrants came to blows.
“Why call me if you’re not going to talk?”
“You once promised me you wouldn’t resort to violence so casually . Can’t you think of a
placid, peaceful solution?”
“You think I’ve survived till now by peaceful solutions?”
“…”
“Or is it because it involves your ex - husband? Do you care for him?”
Hope pursed her lips, not deigning to argue further, “Just leave my matter s alone, I’ll
handle them myself.”
“Handle them yourself my ass; you treat the old man of the Lewis family without leaving
your name, acting like the good Samaritan Lei Feng, and yet you get blamed. Hope
Williams, you think I don’t know? Are you a coward? If you can’t deal with that woman,
let me do it. Anyone who dares to bully me has got it coming!”
“Liam Cloud, not everything can be solved with violence; I have my plans for this
situation, so leave it.”
“You have your plans? They’re bullying you outright , Hope, are you stupid?”
Suddenly called a coward, then stupid, Hope massaged her forehead, speechless.
“I’ve realized it’s impossible to have a conversation with you, always so irritable. Can’t
you see a therapist about this attitude? Thanks for letting me know all this, I’m hanging
up now.” Hope ended the call.

Annoyed and deeply worried, her thoughts in t urmoil, it was clear to Hope that Waylon,
that deceiver, had not given up on the idea of snatching away the children even for a
moment.
She headed to the parking garage and had just gotten into her car when her phone
rang — it was Aria Richardson calling, “H ope, did Waylon Lewis look for you at the
hospital today?”
“How did you know?” Hope was surprised; it seemed like everyone was monitoring her
like placing a tracker, given how quickly news reached them.
“A video was posted online, on the forum of your hosp ital. What exactly is going on
between you and Waylon Lewis, and what did he want at the hospital?”
