She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 142 - : The Strange Man

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Strange Man

“Brother Waylon.” Mia Fuller paused, “Sister Hope, you’re here too?”

Mia Fuller’s gaze fell upon the two of them, who looked exceptionally matched and distinguished.

Mia Fuller clenched her fist tightly, burying her emotions deep within, and stepped forward with her pretty face still wearing a gentle smile, “Sister Hope, I specifically came here to apologize for what happened last night. I later found out it was the maid who put it in my bag. I was unaware.”

Mia Fuller sighed helplessly, full of self-reproach, “So, Sister Hope, I’m sorry for wrongly accusing you. I came specifically to apologize. Please accept this small token of my apology.”

Hope Williams looked indifferent as she glanced at the exquisite gift box presented to her, her eyes showing little emotion, and smiled, “No need, Miss Fuller.”

“Sister Hope, won’t you forgive me?” Mia Fuller looked distressed.

Alitzel Williams walked over, took Mia Fuller’s hand, gently patted it, and said to Hope Williams, “Little Hope, I’ve heard about the incident. It was just a misunderstanding. Mia was anxious and didn’t know the maid had put the necklace in the bag, which led to the wrongful accusation. It’s all a misunderstanding. Don’t take it to heart.”

Clearly, Mia Fuller had preemptively won Alitzel Williams over.

Hope Williams chuckled coldly inside, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, I obviously won’t dwell on it. Miss Fuller, your gift isn’t needed.”

“Sister Hope, please accept it. It would ease my mind,” Mia Fuller earnestly pleaded.

Hope Williams gently shook her head, “No thanks. I’m afraid if I accept it and something of Miss Fuller’s goes missing again, it might be irrationally blamed on me.”

Mia Fuller couldn’t help but catch the undertone in Hope Williams’s words.

She gritted her teeth, furious that Hope Williams remained impenetrable even when she had lowered herself so much, refusing to give her a way out.

“I’m about to be late for work. I must go now.” Hope Williams nodded politely and left with Waylon Lewis.

Mia Fuller gripped the gift box tightly, crushing it as if it were Hope Williams’s head, venting her frustration.

Hope Williams arrived at the hospital and had just gotten out of Waylon Lewis’s car when she bumped into her old enemy.

Joy Ward looked radiant today, transported by a Rolls-Royce, exuding smugness. She sneered arrogantly at Hope Williams before entering the hospital.

Hope Williams slightly raised her eyebrows, sensing something different about Joy Ward that day. Despite the Ward Family’s downfall, she still had a Rolls-Royce chauffer and seemed quite intimate with someone inside.

Hope Williams glanced at the lingering car, wondering if she was imagining it, but she felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at her.

The person behind sent a shiver down her spine.

She withdrew her gaze indifferently and entered the hospital with a hint of suspicion.

Inside the car, the man’s lips curled into a smile, “Hope Williams, we’ll be meeting very soon.”

A lot had accumulated, making today inevitably busy.

“Sister Hope, you’re finally here. I’ve been dying to see you,” Aurora Wood said, munching on chocolate while leaning on Hope Williams’s desk.

“I missed you too.”

“Did you know? Joy Ward came back to the hospital today. She looked so spirited, as if she looked down on everyone. Her eyes were cold, almost murderous, definitely different from before,” Aurora Wood took another bite of chocolate.

Hope Williams frowned slightly, “I know, she probably went through some major shock.”

“Who cares! Your position as the department head is secure, Hope. No matter what she tries, it won’t amount to anything as long as she doesn’t bother us,” Aurora Wood said.

“Mhm.” Hope Williams nodded, “How many surgeries do I have scheduled today?”

“Let me check for you.” Aurora Wood glanced at the schedule, “Two coronary bypasses and one major surgery, three in total.”

“Right, I need to prepare for surgery now. Don’t you have any surgeries today?”

“I do, but not until noon.”

Hope Williams, “Then you better get busy too, go do the rounds.”

Aurora Wood stretched lazily, “Work, work, work; there’s never an end to it.”

Hope Williams changed into her surgical attire and entered the surgical corridor. She passed by Joy Ward without a sideways glance.

Joy Ward glared venomously at her, suddenly stepping forward and bumping hard into her shoulder.

Hope Williams moved her eyes to the corner watching her.

“This isn’t over, Hope Williams.”

“Idiot.” Hope Williams walked straight into the operating room.

Two surgeries in the morning and a major one at noon, Valentina River was already busy enough without having to care for anything else.

At lunchtime, Hope Williams and Aurora Wood went to the cafeteria to eat, and Joy Ward kept staring at her as if she harbored endless resentment.

“Has Joy Ward gone mad, staring at you like that?” Aurora Wood couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Staring at someone like that was simply impolite.

“Let her stare if she wants to, it’s not my fault I’m pretty.” Hope Williams calmly continued eating without looking up.

“Sister Hope, she’s coming over, be careful.” Aurora Wood warned Hope Williams.

Hope Williams looked up to see Joy Ward approaching with her own meal tray in hand.

Suddenly,

the tray tipped over, and the remaining food instantly fell right into the bowl in front of Hope Williams.

Soup and sauce splashed onto Hope Williams’s clothes.

Hope Williams’s demeanor turned icy in an instant.

Aurora Wood slammed her hand on the table and stood up, “Joy Ward, have you lost your mind?”

“I’m so sorry; it wasn’t on purpose,” Joy Ward said with a cold, mocking smile while folding her arms.

“It’s just a bowl of food, Doctor Williams; just go get another one, and while you’re at it, dump this for me, too. I’m sure Doctor Williams won’t mind.”

With a “slam”,

a buzzing noise filled Joy Ward’s head as a whole tray of food hit her face.

Her face was covered in food, and she had to cling to a nearby table to keep from falling over completely.

Everyone around inhaled sharply.

Just then, they thought she would tolerate such provocation in silence,

never expecting such a reaction.

Joy Ward was stunned for a long time, her ears and head buzzing, her head greasy and sticky, utterly disgusting.

“Hope Williams, have you gone mad? Joy just accidentally spilled food, and you drenched her with it; isn’t that too much?” Valentina River said angrily.

It took a long while for Joy Ward to come back to her senses.

“You sl*t, do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? You b*tch, I’ll tear you apart.”

Joy Ward charged at Hope Williams in a frenzy, but Hope Williams watched her calmly, her gaze cold.

The moment she lunged, Hope Williams’s hand shot out, grabbing her by the clothes at her shoulder, then she kicked her in the knee, causing Joy Ward to crash onto the ground.

It was swift and clean, ensuring she stayed unstained by the mess.

Everyone had thought the two women would stage a dramatic catfight.

They never expected Hope Williams to take care of Joy Ward with just a few moves, leaving her sprawled on the ground.

She looked down at the person on the ground with cold disdain.

“Idiot.”

Hope Williams spat out the words and turned to leave.

The major surgery in the afternoon lasted four hours and was finally completed.

After advising the patient’s family, Hope Williams found her phone continuously vibrating in her pocket.

“Hello, Teacher Thompson.”

“Is this Luke and Willow’s mom?”

“Yes, this is she. Is there a problem, Teacher Thompson?”

“Well, it’s like this, Luke got into a fight at school with another child, and their parents are already here. Could you please come over?”

Upon hearing this, Hope Williams’s brow furrowed instantly, “A fight? I understand, I’ll be right there.”
