She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor - Chapter 69

“Mom.” Joy sat next to Kaeli Thompson, “What brings you here?”
“What, I’m not allowed to come while you can?” Kaeli Thompson chuckled behind her
hand, teasing, “You’re always busy with the hospital, not even worr ying about your own

marriage. I’m here today specifically to discuss your marriage to Waylon with your aunt
and uncle.”
“Joy has always been the daughter - in - law of my dreams, and they are not getting any
younger. Christopher and I have been planning their engagement recently.”
“Well then, we’re on the same page. Joy has always been the pearl in the palm of our
family, treasured so much that we fear she might fall or melt away. But entrusting her to
the Lewis Family eases my mind and her father’s.”
“Of cours e, you can rest assured that our family will always cherish this treasure.”
“Mom, Aunt, you two are really…” Overcome with shyness and excitement, Joy was
caught off guard by the pleasant surprise, her face blushing with coyness.
...
“Look at her, getting all shy.”
The room was filled with cheerful banter, but Hope Williams’s smooth brows furrowed
slightly, aware that some of it was deliberately said for her to hear. They were keen on
performing a show that she had no interest in watching; she turned to lea ve.
“Miss Williams is here too,” Kaeli Thompson deliberately called out to her, pretending to
have just noticed her, “You can also give some suggestions for Joy and Waylon’s
engagement party; after all, you’ve lived with Waylon for years and know his
prefe rences.”
“Mom~” Joy called out helplessly, “Miss Williams and I have different tastes in parties.
There’s no point in asking for her advice, don’t trouble her.”
“Right, what can an ex - wife suggest?” Alitzel Williams sipped her fragrant tea elegantly,
scoff ing disdainfully, “Joy, you should stay away from her. She’s cunning, while you’re
pure - hearted; don’t let her influence you.”
Joy pressed her lips together, her expression a mixture of warmth and helplessness.
“No matter what, I still hope Miss Williams c an wish Waylon and me well.” Joy said
gently, her eyes hopeful as she looked at Hope Williams.
As if she truly looked forward to her blessing.
Yet the pride and triumph in those eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Hope Williams had an icy expression void of other emo tions.

She chuckled lightly.
All eyes turned to her.
Finally, Hope Williams spoke slowly, her voice full of mocking desolation, “Grandfather
lies on his deathbed, and here you are, jubilantly planning your engagement. I truly wish
you peace of mind in hold ing the ceremony.”
Faces around her tightened.
Hope Williams was about to leave when a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
Hope Williams turned back, her eyes flickered, and due to their height difference, she
instinctively stretched her slender neck.
Waylon Lewis stood behind her, his dark eyes fixed on hers. Sensing her discomfort, his
brow furrowed slightly.
“What’s wrong?” Waylon’s lips moved subtly, his voice deep.
Hope Williams’s body trembled slightly, she glanced at him hurriedly, then averted h er
gaze and moved her lips, her voice was as cold as usual, revealing no emotion, “It’s
nothing. I’m going to see Grandfather.”
Hope Williams lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding touching Waylon, and stepped
aside to go upstairs.
“Sister - in - law.” Wyatt Lewis had just come back from outside, noticed Hope Williams
passing by, and called out to her.
Hope Williams politely nodded.
Waylon’s gaze flickered as he followed the woman’s slender figure, with narrowed eyes
full of depth.
“Waylon, you’re back just in time. We’re discussing your marriage, and as the person
involved, you should also care,” Alitzel said, noting her son’s gaze fixed on Hope
Williams, ignoring everyone else, while Christopher Lewis next to her was already
slightly annoyed. Before Christoph er could reprimand, Alitzel spoke first.
Only then did Waylon’s gaze shift back to the people on the sofa. At the mention, his
features slightly darkened, understanding the sudden change in Hope Williams’s
emotion.
He said nothing, his handsome face taut, every line expressing anger.

“Ch…” The tense atmosphere was too much for Wyatt; he couldn’t help but chuckle,
“My brother’s getting married? How come I didn’t know about this? And who is the lucky
person? Hope Williams? Ah, Mom, you’ve got the wrong word; for my brother and
sister - in - law, it should be called remarriage.”
“…”
“Who said it’s with that woman?”
“Oh? There’s someone else?” Wyatt teased with a smirk, “Then I do not approve.”
“Shut your mouth,” Alitzel was infuriated, things were chaotic enough, a nd her unruly
son was making it worse, “Is it your place to approve?”
“Hey Mom, am I not a member of the Lewis family? Why don’t I have a say? Besides,
did my brother agree to this? Did Grandfather on his sickbed agree? Grandfather clearly
stated that the future mistress of the Lewis family can only be Hope Williams, and no
one else. Are you not afraid that this will awaken Grandfather against your actions?”
“Shut up.” Alitzel was beside herself with rage, both of her sons going against her.
Wyatt made a zi pping motion across his mouth, having said his piece, and leaned coolly
against the arm of the nearby sofa, standing united with Waylon.
“This marriage, Waylon…”
His mother’s words were cut off by a chilling and somber voice.
“There’s no need to discuss it further.”
“?”
“…?”
“Suit yourselves.”
The man, unhurried and without a trace of warmth in his voice, continued.
