She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Old Master Lewis Falls Ill Again

No one responded.

Inside, there was an eerie silence.

The vast study was shrouded in darkness, with gusts of cold wind blowing through.@@novelbin@@

This strange atmosphere persisted for an unknown length of time. Wyatt Lewis cocked his head, his gaze fixed on the tightly locked door, moving inch by inch toward it. Then, with the swiftness of a thunderclap, he rushed out of the study, leaning against the door and gasping for air.

He felt as if he had survived a great peril.

He was in there for less than a minute and felt all his blood freeze from the chill inside. Any later and he would have been a goner.

It was too terrifying, too terrifying.

“Thomas, who the hell pissed off my brother? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him this angry.” Just thinking about the times his brother beat him up was scary enough; whoever provoked his brother must be dead by now.

“Uh…” Thomas hesitated, unsure of what to say.

“Come on, spill it. Is the brave soul who angered my brother already growing grass on their grave?”

“No, she’s fine, but the boss is really angry.”

“She?” He was curious about the lucky person who had enraged his brother yet lived to tell the tale, “Who is it?”

“…”

“Come on, tell me.”

Unable to withstand Wyatt’s curiosity, Thomas looked around and then whispered mysteriously, “The ex-wife!”

“Holy shit!”

Wyatt wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Hope Williams?”

Did Hope Williams provoke his brother to this extent?

Damn, he was just about to go in to talk about Hope Williams. May Buddha Ancestor bless him that he hadn’t spoken yet, otherwise…

He could very well imagine his brother chasing him with a forty-meter long sword.

“I think my life is more important than this matter. I’ll wait until my brother calms down before speaking.”

The corner of Thomas’s mouth twitched.

Second Young Master, where has your courage gone?

“It’s bad, the Old Master Lewis is having an episode and throwing up blood.”

Wyatt was about to head back to his room when he heard a commotion coming from the Old Master’s upstairs room. Waylon had already left the study, and the two brothers’ complexions darkened simultaneously as they hurried toward the Old Master’s room.

Suddenly, a sense of urgency rang throughout the entire Lewis Family’s old house.

“Quick, notify Elder Murphy and Joy to come over, quickly!” Alitzel Williams was frantically arranging everything in the Old Master’s room.

The family doctor had already arrived, and the servants were in a state of panic.

The scene was chaotic.

“Beep beep beep…”

The heart monitor began to emit a rapid sequence of alarm beeps.

Wyatt’s step hesitated as he entered the room. He frowned, turned around, and dialed Hope Williams’s number.

Boom boom boom, at some point a thunderstorm had begun outside, and the rain was pouring down.

The thunder was loud, and Hope hurried to close the windows.

Willow was just as scared of thunder as she was. Wanting to make sure Willow would not become restless and wake up crying if she couldn’t find her, Hope covered Luke and Willow with their blankets and decided to bring her laptop into their room to work.

Hope concentrated on creating surgical plans for her patients on her laptop, her slender fingers dancing across the keyboard. Suddenly, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

Hope hastily silenced her phone, glancing at the peacefully sleeping Luke and Willow. She put down her laptop, picked up the phone, and tiptoed out of the room.

“Hello, who’s this?” Hope answered the call while also taking the opportunity to pour herself a glass of water, which she held in her hand.

“Sister-in-law, help.”

“What happened?” Hope’s grip on her phone tightened, and her heart began to race.

“Grandfather is sick again for some reason, and the situation is very urgent. Sister-in-law, please come over quickly.”

“What?” Hope’s hand holding the cup trembled, and the glass cup violently crashed to the floor, shattering with a grating sound.

Hope was in a daze, glanced nervously toward the room, quickly grabbed her medicine box, and replied, “I’ll be right there.”

How could this be? Old Master Lewis’s condition was showing signs of improvement. If his medication was taken precisely according to her prescription, such a serious episode shouldn’t be happening.

Hope hurriedly put on her shoes in the foyer when Luke opened his room door, rubbed his eyes, and came out. Seeing Hope about to leave so late, he approached with concern and asked, “Mommy?”

“Baby, did you wake up? Did Mommy wake you up by being too loud?”

Luke rubbed his eyes, “No, I woke up on my own. Where are you going, Mommy?”

“Mommy is going to the Lewis Family old house for a bit. There’s an old grandpa there who is very important to Mommy, and he is sick and needs Mommy. Can my baby stay home and sleep well and wait for Mommy to come back?”

“The Lewis Family old house? Daddy’s home?”

Hearing that Hope was going to the Lewis’s, Luke’s brow furrowed. He had heard from conversations between Mommy and her friend that the people at the Lewis’s were bad, just like Daddy.

“Yes.” Hope squatted down to fix Luke’s pajamas, her gaze gentle, “Luke, Willow is scared of the thunder. Can you help Mommy take care of her? Mommy will be back very soon.”

“Okay, then you come back quick, Luke will wait for you.”

“My good baby.”

Hope didn’t have time to say more to Luke and quickly left after a few words.

Luke obediently went back to his room, intending to go back to bed, but he was drawn to Willow’s soft crying. He hurried over to hug his sister, gently touching Willow’s small face and whispering, “What’s wrong, Willow?”

Boom! A violent storm ensued outside.

Willow’s little body shrank, her face already crying red, clutching a plush toy, and sobbing softly, “Brother, where’s Mommy? Willow is scared.”

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Luke quickly wiped away Willow’s tears. “Don’t be scared, your brother is here.”

Luke climbed onto Willow’s pink little bed, his small body hugging Willow, comforting her gently, “You want to see Mommy, don’t you?”

“Mhm, mhm, where did Mommy go, brother?”

“Mommy has something important to do, she went to the bad daddy’s house. But if Willow wants to see Mommy, your brother has a way.”

Willow snuggled into Luke’s embrace, hearing that her brother had a way to see Mommy, she immediately looked up with round, hopeful eyes, “What can you do, brother?”
