She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Return the Injury Tenfold

“It’s not like that, it’s not like that, they are lying, I didn’t, I didn’t do it, I don’t know them, they are deceiving you, don’t believe them.”

Christopher Ward picked up the phone and after looking at the screen, his face turned as dark as ink. With a kick, he landed a blow on Kaeli Thompson’s body. “You! You wretched woman, how dare you, how dare you! You want to kill me, ruin the Ward Family.”

“I didn’t, I really didn’t. Christopher, there’s a misunderstanding, I truly didn’t,” Kaeli Thompson crawled to Christopher Ward’s feet, desperately clutching his pant leg.

“The video evidence is all here, how do you plan to argue your case?”

“Ahh,” Kaeli Thompson clutched her head, “No, I really didn’t do it.”

“So it was indeed you.” Hope Williams stood there quietly, then suddenly spoke up, her gaze falling on Joy Ward, “You were involved too, weren’t you?”

“No!” Joy Ward shouted decisively, “I know nothing about it, I was kidnapped too, to save Luke and Willow, I was also kidnapped, I don’t know anything, I honestly don’t.”

Joy Ward clenched her teeth, this time Kaeli Thompson definitely could not escape, and she cried out, “Mom, are you confused? How can you be so muddled, how could you harm Luke and Willow?”

“It was clearly you…”

“Mom!” Joy Ward yelled, drowning out Kaeli Thompson’s voice, “Just admit it, Mom. It’s pointless to deny, you can’t die unrepentant.”

Kaeli Thompson looked at her daughter with a face full of panic, she couldn’t believe that this was indeed her own daughter, “You, you!”

Joy Ward gripped Kaeli Thompson’s hand tight, with a pair of eyes full of pitiful begging.

Those eyes were clearly communicating a plea for her mother to take the blame for everything.

Joy Ward stood frozen, then heard a voice from Joy Ward so low only the two of them could hear, “Mom, please, help me, I don’t want to die. I still want to marry into the Lewis Family and become the Young Madam of the Lewis Family. Just take the blame for all of this for me, I will thank you, Mom, I’m your true daughter.”

Kaeli Thompson tilted her head back, her eyes wide open, staring at the woman in front of her. She remained stiff for a full minute, then fiercely closed her eyes, “It was… it was me who did it, all by myself, I hate Hope Williams, it was me, everything was my doing.”

Joy Ward let out a breath of relief and harshly reprimanded Kaeli Thompson, “Mom, you, you are just despicable!”

“Take her away,” Waylon Lewis commanded coldly.

Thomas Hughes led his men to restrain Kaeli Thompson.

Kaeli Thompson struggled fiercely.

Everyone knew that Waylon Lewis was cold-blooded and ruthless. Would she even be alive to return after being taken away?

No, no, she didn’t want this.

“Save me, Christopher, save me, I’m your wife. Joy, save me, save me, I won’t go, I won’t go,” Kaeli Thompson struggled with all her might.

Seeing his wife like this, Christopher Ward pleaded with Waylon Lewis and Miss Williams, “Waylon, Miss Williams, she already knows she was wrong. Please let her go. I will make her apologize to the children, no, our whole family will apologize to the children…”

“No need,” Hope Williams interrupted coldly, lifting her eyelids slightly, “Whatever my child has suffered, she will suffer ten times over before I will let her go.”

Suffer ten times over?

Willow had been stabbed once.

Kaeli Thompson to be stabbed ten times before they would let her go!

Wasn’t this a demand for her life?

“No, no, I will die, I really will die… let go… ah, let go of me!” Kaeli Thompson struggled furiously, thrashing on the ground like a mad dog.

“Waylon, I beg you, please. My mom was misguided, she didn’t mean any harm, she truly didn’t. Let her go, please, with ten stabs, she really will die,” Joy Ward knelt on the ground, weeping and begging.

Waylon Lewis slightly turned his head, his stunningly handsome face void of any emotion, his thin lips parting slightly to let out a few words, “Then why don’t you take her place?”

In an instant, Joy Ward was so scared that even her crying ceased.

In the chill of the room, only the terrible swishing sound of a cold blade cutting through flesh and Kaeli Thompson’s inhuman cries of pain could be heard.

The worst part was that every stab avoided the vital areas, Kaeli Thompson could only endure the excruciating pain, unable to die.

Waylon Lewis gently pulled the woman who had been standing calmly by his side, watching everything with indifference, into his arms.

When he touched the woman’s body, he realized that she had been lightly trembling the whole time, her hands clenched tight, the sharp nails have long since deeply embedded themselves in the palms of her hands.

Her palms were a bloody mess.

From when Willow had the accident until now, she had handled everything with extreme calmness, so calm it seemed as if she had no soul, just an empty shell, even when her enemies paid tenfold the price, she didn’t even blink, unable to soothe the slightest hint of hatred in her heart.

Waylon Lewis’s brows deeply furrowed, his anger burning even more intensely, he tenderly pried open Hope Williams’s fingers one by one.

…

The intensive care unit smelt of disinfectant, with Hope Williams sitting beside the bed, looking at Willow’s face so pale and devoid of life.

The silence in the ward was only broken by the dripping sound of the machines, terrifyingly quiet.

The little one lying there with various tubes and devices attached, her delicate little arms covered with conspicuous needle marks surrounded by purplish-red bruises and dried traces of medication.

Hope’s eyes watered and dried, again and again, as she held that icy, cold small hand.

Hope had been there for two days and a night, her eyes bloodshot, unwilling to leave, her face gaunt like never before as she continued to watch Willow, rubbing her small hands, caressing her face, and whispering stories to her, just like she normally would to put her to sleep.

Because she had sat without moving for so long, her joints were briefly stiff, but even so, she didn’t want to leave; she was afraid that Willow would be scared and cry if she woke up and didn’t see her.

Waylon Lewis stood unmoving outside.

“Mommy…” Luke called Hope Williams in a very soft voice, “Sister will wake up, right? She’s just sleeping, right?”

Hope’s body moved slightly, not taking her gaze off Willow for a moment, “Yes, sister is just sleeping, she will wake up, Luke, will you stay with mommy and wait for her to wake up?”

“Yes, we will wait together for sister to wake up, Luke will also take sister out to play.”

Hope bit her teeth hard, hugging Luke tightly.

“Beep…”

The cold alarm of the machine blared piercingly.

In an instant, Hope’s heart clenched tightly, despairingly watching Willow’s little body covered with machines.

A large team of doctors rushed in, Willow started her third resuscitation.

After another round of resuscitation, the doctor shook his head helplessly, “Miss Williams, the child’s condition is not good, whether she can wake up now, we can only wait for a miracle.”

Waylon Lewis took big strides over to Hope, pulling her into his embrace.

Hope bit her lip hard, her strength drained as if siphoned away, unable to utter a word.

She leaned against the man’s strong chest but couldn’t feel a trace of warmth.

Hope gasped for breath, and Waylon only felt the woman in his arms trembling, but soon, her body weighed down; she had lost consciousness.

“Hope Williams!” Waylon hurriedly picked up Hope, after examination, it was found she was overwhelmed with shock, hadn’t eaten for ages, and her body had collapsed from overexertion.

Waylon Lewis ran back and forth between the hospital rooms for Hope and her daughter.

Hope lay on the hospital bed, eyes closed but sweating profusely, her expression was one of extreme agony, as if she was in the midst of a deeply distressing nightmare.

In the dream, Hope saw Willow moving further and further away from herself, and no matter how she reached out, she couldn’t touch Willow’s little hand.

“Mommy, Willow is going now, you have to take care of yourself.”

Willow moved away further and further, Hope desperately chasing, but her speed was nowhere near that of Willow moving away.

“Don’t go, Willow, Willow!”

Willow waved at her, “Mommy, I’m sorry, Willow is really tired and in pain, I just regret, I can’t go to the amusement park with mommy and brother. Mommy, Willow is leaving, don’t be sad, live well, Willow will always be mommy’s baby.”
