She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Wyatt Lewis Discovers a Huge Secret

“Mm,” Hope said with a determined look, “For Grandpa Lewis, regardless of whether I am Hope Williams or a doctor, I can’t possibly ignore him.”

Aria Richardson could understand her. When Hope fell into hardship years ago, Elder Lewis had helped her. After marrying Waylon Lewis, only Elder Lewis truly treated Hope Williams kindly. The feelings Hope had for Grandpa Lewis were not just of respect and love, but also laced with years of guilt.

“So who do you plan to ask for help?” You can’t possibly mean to climb over the wall to get into the Lewis Residence.

Hope thought for a moment, “There is, in fact, one person.”

…

That night, a bright moon hung in the night sky.

“Sister-in-law, you certainly picked a good day; both my parents are home today. Be careful,” Wyatt Lewis sneakily opened the back door for Hope Williams.

Hope, carrying her medical kit, hurried in. Under the moonlight, two figures stealthily entered the main house one after the other. Hope lowered her voice and whispered, “Thanks, don’t worry, I’ll be careful. How has Grandpa been lately?”

“Grandpa is much better. Joy Ward said there’s no life-threatening danger, just that he alternates between waking and sleeping, with longer durations of sleep.”

As Hope and Wyatt Lewis walked, she asked, “Did Grandpa take the medicine I prescribed on time?”

“The medicine you prescribed?” Wyatt’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Hope with a hint of suspicion.

When they reached Old Master Lewis’s room, Wyatt had already taken care of everything so no one would disturb Hope. She sat down comfortably next to Grandpa Lewis’s sickbed.

Grandpa Lewis’s breathing was much steadier than the first time she saw him, and his complexion was much better too.

Grandpa Lewis’s current condition was pretty much what Hope had expected, indicating that the previous silver needle treatment had been effective. Hope took out the prepared pack of silver needles from her medical kit. She performed the sterilization and disinfection meticulously, not allowing any sloppiness.

“Grandpa, your recovery is going well. It seems our last Silver Needle Acupuncture treatment was effective. We’ll keep working hard, and you’ll be able to wake up soon. Grandpa, Hope hopes you wake up quickly. Hope’s here to do acupuncture again today.”

Wyatt, standing at the door, heard everything Hope said clearly, his face full of disbelief.

So it was Hope who saved Grandpa, then what Joy Ward said…

Wyatt considered carefully, remembering how Joy initially examined Old Master Lewis and declared it hopeless. Her expression didn’t seem like she was lying.

Suddenly, Old Master Lewis was revived as though brought back from death? How was that possible? It was hopeless and then it all changed after everyone left?

At that time, everyone was immersed in the joy of Old Master Lewis’s improved condition and didn’t think deeply about it.

Now that he thought about it, Hope was also present back then, and her affection for Old Master Lewis couldn’t be faked. Hope, too, was skilled in medicine. Looking at it now, the person who saved Old Master Lewis was 99.9% Hope!

Wyatt’s eyes turned cold. That woman usually pretends around here, and now she even uses such despicable methods!@@novelbin@@

Disgusting!

Outrageous!

“Wyatt, Wyatt Lewis?” Alitzel Williams called him twice, frowning.

“Wyatt Lewis!” Alitzel raised her voice.

Wyatt then came to his senses, turning to see that Alitzel had come to stand beside him without him noticing.

“Mom,” his voice was low.

“What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed,” Alitzel rarely saw such a serious expression on her youngest son’s usually nonchalant face and asked curiously.

“Mom, I…” Wyatt paused.

Hope had said not to let anyone disturb her while she treated Grandpa. If he told his mother the truth, it would inevitably make his mother aware of Hope’s presence, not only disturbing Hope but given his mother’s trust in Joy Ward, she might not even believe him, which would only complicate matters further.

Wyatt Lewis forcefully swallowed the words stuck in his throat and regained his frivolous smile, “Mom, I was just worried about Grandpa, I wasn’t thinking about anything else.”

“You claim to be so filial.” Alitzel Williams didn’t suspect his words, “Okay, your brother and Joy are coming over for dinner too, you should go down and eat as well.”

“Mom, what about you?” Wyatt Lewis stood tall and unmovable at the doorway.

“I’m going to check on your grandpa.” Alitzel Williams pushed against Wyatt’s towering figure.

Wyatt’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t move an inch from Alitzel’s push.

Sister-in-law, rest assured, I will defend this door with my life.

Alitzel Williams looked puzzled at Wyatt, “What’s gotten into you, child? I’m just going to check on your grandpa.”

“Mom, Grandpa is fine, and you, as his daughter-in-law, see him every day. With such a filial daughter-in-law like you, Grandpa must be deeply touched. Mom, you’ve also been working hard. Grandpa must want you to rest too. Don’t disturb his rest anymore; Mom, please go have your meal.”

Alitzel Williams blinked, feeling a bit confused as if he was complimenting her, but it sounded so odd. What craziness was possessing her silly son today?

Without time to think deeply, Wyatt hurriedly pushed her shoulders down the stairs, “Mom, let’s eat first, don’t keep dad and brother waiting. You can see Grandpa after the meal; it won’t make much difference.”

Alitzel Williams felt something off about Wyatt but couldn’t pinpoint what it was, and somewhat confused, she was pushed downstairs.

At the dining table, Christopher Lewis sat at the head, Waylon Lewis on one side, and Joy Ward, with a sweet smile, sat beside Waylon. The stern atmosphere that was a traditional trait of the Lewis family filled the air at the table.

Wyatt couldn’t help but click his tongue twice and glanced upstairs. It was rare for the Lewis Residence to have everyone home, and it just happened that Hope Williams had turned up.

Alitzel Williams made no effort to hide her fondness for Joy Ward, even personally serving her soup, “Joy, you look thin; eat more to nourish yourself. Waylon, Joy is here, have a nice chat with her, don’t be like a block of wood.”

Alitzel Williams had no shortage of worries about her two sons, one cold as ice, just like his father, with aloofness etched deep into his bones, and the other always frivolous, never serious. When would she ever get to hold a grandchild?

Joy Ward looked at Waylon Lewis, nervously biting her lip, her eyes filled with shyness and anticipation.

Waylon maintained a bland expression, focusing on his food without uttering a word.

Christopher Lewis solemnly put down his chopsticks and looked deeply at Waylon, “You’re not getting any younger; when are you going to settle the marriage with Joy?”

Upon hearing this, Joy’s cheeks slowly reddened even more, her eyes looking towards Waylon, filled with even more anticipation.

“Waylon, did you hear what your father said?” Alitzel Williams urged when her son gave no response.

Waylon, “Mind your own business.”

Seeing her son’s indifferent attitude, Alitzel Williams felt really frustrated, “Waylon, you…”

“I’m done eating. You all take your time.” Waylon Lewis put down his chopsticks and stood up to leave.

“Waylon?” Joy Ward stiffened, calling out anxiously.

“What kind of attitude is this?” Christopher Lewis was furious.

“Mom, dad, you should worry less about my brother; Sister-in-Law hasn’t died. What are you rushing for?” Wyatt Lewis ate his ribs, wore a light smile, and spoke in a leisurely tone, still heartless as ever.

“Wyatt Lewis, your brother and that woman are already divorced, don’t keep calling her ‘Sister-in-Law.'”

Wyatt, “I don’t care, I’ve recognized her as the only Sister-in-Law.”

Hope Williams was good, they might not see it, but this bystander had seen, Hope Williams had been impeccably good to this family, to his brother, to his parents, to his grandfather.

And regardless of anything else, Hope Williams was definitely more suitable to be his brother’s wife than Joy Ward.

“Wyatt, you all are so blinded by that woman,” Alitzel Williams was extremely agitated.
