She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 176 - : The Rhythm of Remarriage

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Rhythm of Remarriage

“But are you and President Lewis fully reconciling now?”

Hope Williams smiled gently and nodded her head.

“Wow!” Aria Richardson couldn’t help but clap her hands, “When are you getting remarried? Since you didn’t have a wedding before, President Lewis must be planning a grand one for the remarriage, right? Otherwise, I, as your mother’s family, wouldn’t agree.”

Hope Williams smiled lightly, “There’s no rush between us.”

The children are already so big, Hope Williams felt there was no need for all the wedding fuss since he hadn’t even proposed yet, so a remarriage seemed far off.

“That’s you not rushing, but that doesn’t mean President Lewis isn’t in a hurry. I think he’s desperate,” Aria Richardson said, laughing out loud, “otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on being intimate with you while you were still injured, resulting in you ending up here in the hospital.”

Hope Williams’s face darkened slightly, and she chided helplessly, “Aria, if you bring that up again, I’m going to ignore you.”

“Alright, alright, I know you’re shy, I’ll zip it.”

Aria Richardson stroked her chin, planning to probe into the matter since it was a significant event in her best friend’s life that needed monitoring.

As Aria was plotting and chattering away until noon, there was a knock at the door. Hope Williams, who was reading a magazine, looked up as Aria went to open the door.

A man in a suit entered, carrying a large bouquet of blooming flowers.

Hope Williams straightened up, “Alexander Knox, what brings you here?”

“I came to see you,” Alexander Knox placed the bouquet on the table.

His sudden arrival made Hope Williams instinctively glance toward the door as if fearing someone might walk in.

Alexander Knox laughed helplessly, “I just came to check on you, but the way you’re looking at me, it’s as if we’re having an affair.”

Hope Williams pressed her lips together in embarrassment, indeed worried that Waylon Lewis might suddenly appear and create massive trouble seeing Alexander Knox here.

“Cough…” Hope Williams directed her gaze elsewhere, “Aria, could you get Mr. Knox a glass of water?”

Still mesmerized by the sight, as Alexander was exactly Aria Richardson’s type—civilized, elegant, and radiating mature charm, that completely captivated her.

“Aria?” Seeing that Aria kept staring at Alexander Knox, Hope Williams softly called to remind her.

“Ah? Oh, right.” Aria quickly went to pour some water, her gaze seemingly fixed on him.

“Mr. Knox, please have some tea,” Aria handed the cup to Alexander Knox.

Alexander Knox politely nodded and accepted, “Thank you.”

Aria’s cheeks turned red, her shy eyes fixed on him.

“I brought my grandmother here for a check-up today, tried calling you, but your phone was off.”

Hope Williams then remembered her unfortunate phone was probably underwater at Liam Cloud’s island villa.

“Sorry, my phone’s broken.”

“I thought so. Later, Doctor Wood told me you were hospitalized, so I came to see you. How did you get injured?”

“I accidentally fell.”

“You accidentally fell into the ICU?”

“…”

Alexander Knox shook his head with a smile, “You don’t have to hide it from me. The Morris family’s troubles are well-known, and it seems they crossed someone they shouldn’t have—presumably you.”

“It was his own doing.”

“He deserved it.”

Seeing the two discussing serious matters, Aria walked out of the room, Hope Williams glanced at her but did not stop her.

“That was my best friend. Isn’t she beautiful?”

“He’s alright.”

“My Aria is beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, independent, has her own car and house, and most importantly, she’s still single…”

Hope Williams and Aria had known each other for years, and it was easy to see her little schemes.

Alexander Knox raised an eyebrow slightly, “I know you don’t like me, but there’s no need to rush to push me onto someone else.”

“Mr. Knox, there’s no chance between us.”

“Nothing is impossible.”

“…”

Really, 0.000001?

“Did you know Mia Fuller got sent to prison?”

“Uh-huh.” Of course, she knew, she had personally made sure of that.

“Old Master Fuller’s favorite granddaughter, he wouldn’t let her stay in there.”

Hope Williams picked up the water beside her and took a small sip, “Uh-huh, I know.”

Hope Williams had anticipated this, and not only that, given the relationship between the Lewis and Fuller Families, the Lewis Family would turn a blind eye since Mia Fuller had already been punished.

“Mia Fuller has been spoiled since she was a child and holds grudges. You gave her such a harsh lesson this time, she won’t let it go easily. You need to be careful, and as far as I know, Vivia Fuller is back too.”

Hope Williams narrowed her eyes slightly, “Vivia Fuller?”

“The elder Miss of the Fuller Family, Mia Fuller’s sister, and also the future head of the Fuller Family. The Fuller Family has been hit hard this time because of Mia, and because she always dotes on her sister Mia, she won’t just sit back and do nothing.”

“Moreover, Mia Fuller refused my divorce proposal,” Alexander Knox said gravely, clearly angered by this matter.

Hope Williams smiled slightly, “Then, Mr. Knox, why do you still have time for me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Aren’t you worried about how to solve the trouble you’re in?”

“Don’t you think you might be in trouble too?”

Hope Williams’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly; undoubtedly, that day Mia Fuller had seen her dining with Alexander Knox and made a big deal out of it.

She liked Waylon Lewis, yet she stubbornly refused to break off the engagement with Alexander Knox, but why?

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Knox.”

“Grandma Knox wants to invite you to Knox’s annual banquet next week. You won’t refuse Grandma, will you?”

Hope Williams’s brows twitched; this man really knew she would feel awkward to say no to Grandma Knox, deliberately using her to make his point.

An annual banquet, Knox employees, executives, and some business partners would attend, so the Lewis should probably be involved too, Hope considered, “Then, thank you for Grandma’s invitation, I’ll come with Waylon.”

“You really are downright refusing me. Do I really have no chance at all?”

Hope Williams said flatly, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Knox.”

“It’s okay; I’ve always been more determined after setbacks.”

Hope Williams blinked slightly, somewhat helpless with this man, and did not respond.

Alexander Knox stood up, “I won’t disturb your rest, see you next week.”

“Okay.”

Alexander Knox was leaving just as Aria Richardson came in, and the two of them came face to face.

Aria was always boisterous and nearly bumped into Alexander Knox, who instinctively raised his hand to steady her.

Aria’s pupils dilated, gazing at the man’s handsome face, her heart pounding, “I’m… sorry…”

“It’s okay, just be more careful next time.”

Alexander Knox nodded slightly and left.

“He’s really so handsome,” Aria mused as she watched his retreating figure, her eyes practically sparkling with pink bubbles.

Hope Williams rubbed her forehead, feeling slightly vexed.

“Where did you just go?” Hope asked.

Aria came in with a brand-new, unopened phone, handing it to Hope, “Didn’t your phone break? I went out to buy you a new one.”

Hope’s heart warmed; she didn’t make it formal with Aria, “Thank you.”

“Tell me, how do you know Mr. Knox?” Aria moved closer, clearly trying to please.

Hope casually opened the phone, “It’s a long story, his grandma is my patient.”

“Does he like you?”

Hope paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes as she looked at Aria.

“Don’t look at me like that, I’m not that petty. You don’t like him, do you? If not, I’m going for it; this is truly a love of mine.”

Aria was thrilled, recalling how tenderly he had spoken.

Her heart bursting with joy, Hope wore a slightly troubled expression, “Aria, he has a fiancée!”

Crack! A sound!

Aria felt as if struck by thunder, was her romance doomed before it even began?

“Mia Fuller, you’ve met her!”

“The one we encountered in the restaurant that day?”

“Yes, they were actually going to break off the engagement, but now Mia has changed her mind.”

Regardless of whether there was any affection between him and Mia Fuller before the engagement was off, he was still engaged, Hope made it clear, and Aria understood, “Don’t worry, I’ll chase after him once he is no longer engaged.”

Today, Waylon Lewis, had left work early and had picked up Luke and Willow, then went to the hospital to pick up Hope, who had just changed her clothes.

Because of injuries, Hope chose a loose and comfortable silk long dress, which draped fully over her slim, tall figure, her hair half tied up, and her milk tea-colored lipstick brightening her complexion, giving her a lazy but elegant appearance.

Waylon’s eyes lit up as he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, “You look beautiful.”
