She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 birthday party

“Joy, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? You do care about me. You asked me out for meals, you hugged me, you sought my help, you said I was someone you could rely on, and that I was the best person to you in this world. Joy, you love me, don’t you? You’re afraid of them, aren’t you? Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.” Beau Harrison tightly gripped Joy Ward’s shoulders, desperate for her response.

But what he got in return was…

“Shut up! Shut up! Just shut up!”

Joy Ward felt like she was about to lose her mind with frustration, pushing him away repeatedly and raising her hand to stop him from getting closer. “I don’t love you, I’ve never done those things you mentioned. We are just colleagues. I’ve never agreed to anything like that, Beau, you need to clear your head.”

Beau was frightened by Joy’s fierce demeanor.

Was this still the gentle, generous, kind, and sweet woman he knew? She was completely different now.

Beau blankly raised his hand.

“Don’t touch me, don’t touch me,” Joy Ward frantically swatted Beau’s hand away. “I’ve never said those things, I’ve never done those things, and I don’t love you. Don’t flatter yourself. If you keep falsely accusing me like this, I will start to resent you, Doctor Harrison, I will resent you.”

“You…” That’s not what you said before, “You don’t like me at all?”

“That’s right, Doctor Harrison, I only see you as a colleague, and yet you have these thoughts about me. Doctor Harrison, I’m so disappointed in you.”

Clearly, Joy Ward was pushing all blame towards Beau, clearing herself, and obviously, in self-preservation, she had decided to forgo Beau as a pawn.

Unable to comprehend Joy Ward’s transformation, Beau said, “That’s not what you said before.”

“Don’t you get it? She doesn’t love anyone; she only loves herself. She uses you as a pawn to climb up for her own sake.” Hope Williams spoke dispassionately, standing aside, feeling disgusted by everything she heard.

“What do you mean?” Beau glared at Hope fiercely.

Hope merely smirked coldly, “Every time you confessed, she brushed you off, claiming you were married or that she was under a lot of pressure. But whenever she needed your help, she’d turn her attitude around three hundred sixty-five degrees, subtly seducing you, luring you in. That’s your ‘goddess’, am I wrong?”

Hope Williams could see everything clearly from an outsider’s perspective—Joy Ward’s usual tactics.

Hearing Hope’s words, Beau’s face suddenly went pale, and he stood there dumbfounded, struck as if by a bolt from the blue. Even being foolish, he finally understood everything.

Furious, Beau gritted his teeth, his face almost contorted with anger, as he glared at Joy, stepping closer and closer.

“So, you’ve been using me all this time, and now that you’re done, you discard me to cover your own guilt, you wretched woman.”

Beau wished he could strangle Joy Ward right there.

Joy Ward, nearly collapsing, kept moving back, “No, no, she’s lying to you. Don’t believe her.”

“You still want to argue? Do you think I’m unaware of your surgical mistakes? Others might not see it, but I risked getting scolded with you to help you, and now I find out you were just using me. Ready to kick me aside now, are you?”

“No, no, it’s not… not like that.”

Joy covered her ears with her hands, desperately shaking her head, as if she’d gone mad.

“Nice plan, Joy Ward,” Beau suddenly laughed out loud, realizing he had been used like a fool by this woman, unable to even cry out at this moment.

Beau dropped Joy Ward and charged towards Aurora Wood, “Aurora, I realize my error now, I realize it. I was also deceived by that woman. Let’s not get a divorce, please forgive me, I won’t ever make the same mistake again, I will truly love you…”

Aurora Wood coldly looked up at him, “If you had known this day would come, why ever begin? We’re getting a divorce.”

Aurora coldly brushed off Beau’s hand.

Hope Williams watched everything coldly and then turned to leave.

“Hope Williams, Hope Williams, you wretched woman, don’t you dare walk away.” Joy Ward struggled to grab Hope, but she slipped and fell, causing laughter from those around.

Hope Williams coldly looked down at Joy lying on the ground, her lips slightly curving up, “Still not giving up?”

Joy Ward gritted her teeth, “You destroyed me; it’s all your fault, Hope Williams!”

“Never acknowledging your own mistakes, self-serving, selfish, and arrogant, you always thought you could control everything, manipulate others—Joy Ward, who gave you that confidence?”

“I… I did nothing wrong!”

Hopelessly incurable.

Hope Williams was speechless.

Just then, someone outside came to call for Joy Ward, “Doctor Ward, Director Woods is calling you to his office.”

What could Director Woods want with her now? Upon thinking it through, Joy Ward’s face turned ashen.

Hope Williams suddenly smirked, “Good luck.”

Aurora Wood said gratefully, “Hope, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, and besides, I have my own motives,” Hope Williams stated lightly.

They smiled at each other, “By the way, today is your birthday, right? Happy Birthday.”

“Thank you.”

A few doctors gathered around.

“Doctor Williams, it’s your birthday today? How about we throw you a birthday party tonight? We’re really sorry for the misunderstandings before.”

“Yeah, we all misunderstood you before, we’re really sorry. Your surgery was truly impressive; we’re all convinced this time.”

“Right, everyone should come along. Oh, it’s almost noon; let’s go buy gifts later; otherwise, it’ll be too late.”

“Sure, let’s all go together, Doctor Williams. Please don’t refuse us.”

“Right, Hope,” Aurora laughed.

Hope Williams was a bit overwhelmed by the sudden warmth, feeling slightly uneasy, as she had already promised to spend the evening with Luke, Willow, and Aria Richardson; but with the current scenario, it was hard for her to refuse.

Hope Williams called Aria and Luke, telling them that Baby and Aria agreed it would be more fun to celebrate together. So, Hope decided to reserve a large private room.
