Chapter 245: Chapter 245: One Must Die Tonight

The Lewis Family, with their worrysome bunch, would surely be in chaos.

“Great-grandpa.”

A milky voice rang out.

Hope Williams turned around and saw Luke and Willow running in. She stood up, and her waist was immediately encircled by a strong hand. Waylon Lewis looked down at her with dark eyes, deeply gazing into her own, “Does your stomach still feel uncomfortable?”

Seeing Waylon Lewis, Hope Williams’s gaze softened, and she pursed her lips, saying, “Much better now.”

That simple conversation eased the day-long worries of Waylon Lewis.

Old Master Lewis couldn’t stop smiling as soon as he saw the two little ones.

The two kids always found a way to make Elder Lewis happy.

“Great-grandpa, Mommy said you’re going to have surgery. Are you afraid it will hurt?”

“Great-grandpa doesn’t need to be scared, oh, because Mommy is very amazing. Mommy has saved lots of people. With Mommy here, you will definitely get better,” Luke said, while Willow vigorously nodded in agreement.

Elder Lewis laughed heartily, “When great-grandpa sees you two little ones, eh, any illness will be cured.”

“Then we’ll come to keep you company every day, and great-grandpa won’t get sick anymore.”

Elder Lewis, looking at the two children, had a twinkle in his eye, full of loving kindness. A surge of emotion welled up in his throat, and he quickly turned his face away, covering his mouth to cough lightly a few times.

Hope Williams silently pushed Waylon Lewis from behind. Waylon stepped forward, glanced at Elder Lewis and, with his long fingers, took a teacup, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Elder Lewis.

Elder Lewis looked at Waylon with slight annoyance, but still took the water offered by him.

Waylon’s expression was soft, “If you’re uncomfortable, don’t hold it in. Speak up early; don’t wait until the surgery to cause complications.”

Elder Lewis frowned, “You punk, are you hoping I feel unwell?”

“How dare I.”

Waylon responded softly and raised his hand silently to adjust the air conditioning temperature up a few degrees.

Looking at Waylon, Hope Williams’s eyes grew tender, and she couldn’t help but let a slight smile curl up at the corners of her lips.

Although he looked indifferent and detached, he obviously cared a great deal about Elder Lewis.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so meticulous.

It’s just that he was stubborn about it.

The four stayed with Elder Lewis until nightfall. Waylon ordered dinner to be brought in, and after dining with Elder Lewis, reluctantly, but under Elder Lewis’s insistence, they took the kids home to rest early.

Hope Williams planned to stay the night with grandpa, but was refused by Elder Lewis.

“It’s alright for me to be here alone, I have someone to look after me. You should go back and rest too. Don’t forget you’re the chief surgeon. You have to be well-rested to operate on me, right?”

The words of Elder Lewis made a lot of sense.

Waylon softly embraced Hope Williams’s shoulders, his voice gentle, “Your main task is to rest well and perform the surgery. Staying here will just make the old man worry about you.”

After some persuasion, Hope Williams agreed to go back with Waylon Lewis, but she didn’t know why she’d felt a bad premonition all day.

She felt empty and uneasy inside.

It was really an unpleasant feeling.

Before leaving the sickroom, Hope Williams looked back at Elder Lewis with a furrowed brow. Elder Lewis waved at her with a kindly smile.

Hope Williams nodded, responded with a faint smile, turned around, and closed the sickroom door. Seeing her disturbed expression, Waylon knew what she was thinking and comforted her in his deep, mellow voice, “Don’t worry too much, trust in your abilities.”

Hope Williams’s worry didn’t diminish, “It’s not that, I just feel uneasy inside, and I don’t know why.”

“Are you putting too much pressure on yourself?”

Hope Williams took a deep breath, “Maybe.”

“Don’t think too much. Set those thoughts aside for now. Go back and get some good sleep. Only then will you have the energy for tomorrow.”

Hope Williams nodded. Perhaps she really was being too sensitive. She reached into her pocket to feel for her phone, but it wasn’t there.

It must have been left at Old Master Lewis’s.

Hope Williams halted in her steps, “My phone must be left at Grandpa’s, you go ahead to the car with Luke and Willow.”

With that, Hope Williams turned and hurried back to the ward.

At that moment, a pair of malicious eyes from the shadows were closely watching Hope’s retreating figure and silently followed her.

Hope hurried back, her hand gripping the doorknob, and the moment she opened the door,

a sharp scream rang out from behind her, “Hope Williams!”

Hope’s brow tightened, giving her no time to react to anything, a strong gust of wind blew at her from behind.

In the moment Hope slightly turned her head, a scalpel swiftly grazed past her cheek.

Hope started, her heart suddenly racing.

“Hope Williams, you made me suffer like this, don’t you think you can get away with it.”

Beneath the black duckbill cap were a pair of eyes filled with malevolence, staring at her like a vengeful ghost.

As the voice faded, Ellie Field raised her hand again, the scalpel slashing in front of Hope’s neck.

“Ellie Field, have you gone mad!”

“I have gone mad, all thanks to you, I’m already like this, I have nothing to care for anymore, so I will destroy what you care about, I want you to be in agony just like me.”

Saying so, Ellie Field suddenly pushed Hope Williams, who’s pupils constricted, and she immediately raised her hand to block Ellie Field.

Ellie Field, with the desperation of one with nothing to lose, flailed the knife wildly.

Hope’s right arm was viciously slashed, blood flowing freely in an instant.

Hope furrowed her brows, she already knew what Ellie Field was planning, and disregarding the pain in her hand, she bit down hard and charged forward.

“What are you doing?”

The nanny caring for Elder Lewis saw the bloody knife in Ellie’s hand, panic flashing through her eyes as her whole body started trembling.

“Get out of the way.”

The nanny was powerless and frightened, completely unable to resist.

Ellie Field curved her lips, “Hope Williams, I want to watch you in pain, I want you to end up just like me.”

As the voice dropped, she clenched the knife and thrust fiercely towards Old Master Lewis.

Hope Williams’s eyes widened as she grabbed Ellie Field’s wrist, her eyes chillingly cold, “Ellie Field, you’re seeking death.”

Ellie Field, gripping the knife, pressed down with all her might. Hope clenched her teeth, forcefully holding back as pain from the wound in her arm shot through her.

Her hand trembled continuously, and as the knife neared Old Master Lewis, the pain caused Hope’s hand to weaken.

“Go get help, go quickly.”

The nanny finally came to her senses.

“Hope Williams, die, die, just die.”

Ellie Field’s knife tip suddenly changed direction, pressing fiercely towards Hope, who was forced to retreat several steps.

“Someone… Quick, someone, there’s a murder, there’s a murder…” The nanny ran out desperately shouting.

Ellie Field, biting down hard on her molars and grimacing, held the knife and pressed harder towards Hope.

If people came, she would have no chance.

No, today either this old man or Hope Williams must die.

Elder Lewis pulled out the needle from his hand and struggled to get up from the bed.

“Let go of Hope Williams, you…”

Elder Lewis had always had trouble with his legs, he picked up his walking stick to support his body, and hurriedly, yet falteringly, went to help Hope.
