She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 520: Feeling Guilty

Luna Williams trembled, leaning towards Leo Carter, "Brother Leo, it hurts, it really hurts."

Hope Williams took two tissues, wiping her hands nonchalantly.

What Luna just said, wasn’t it implying that the soup was splashed on her by herself?

As expected, Maverick Williams glared at her furiously, as if seeing a sworn enemy.

Leo Carter also showed a fierce expression and grabbed Hope’s wrist.

"How can you be so vicious, woman? Even though Luna is already in such a state, as her sister, you’re unwilling to help her, and yet she doesn’t blame you. But you repeatedly try to harm her, are you even human? Apologize to Luna immediately."

Hope’s expression turned cold, and she jerked her hand away from Leo, "Apologize? What did I do wrong that I need to apologize for? What right do you have to demand an apology from me?"

Just as Leo Carter was about to take action again, Aria Richardson burst in from outside, pushed Leo with both hands fiercely.

Leo Carter, caught off guard, staggered, retreating several steps in a rather embarrassing manner.

"What are you glaring at? You pushed our Hope, I push back, is there anything wrong with that?" Aria Richardson dusted off her hands, crudely rolling her eyes twice.

"How did you get here? Where are Luke and Willow?"

Aria Richardson, "I was worried about you, so I came. Luke and Willow are outside, I asked that sharp girl to look after them, and your bodyguards are there too, don’t worry."

Hope Williams nodded.

Leo Carter straightened his posture, advancing forward two steps in anger.

"Leo, stop."

A calm, authoritative voice scolded Leo Carter.

Hope turned to look at the speaker; she hadn’t noticed him just now, only to see a middle-aged man standing quietly, although he appeared middle-aged, his hair was already greying.

Just looking at the hair, he wasn’t much younger than Maverick Williams.

The identity of this middle-aged man was not hard to guess; his eyes and brows bore a striking resemblance to Leo Carter, probably his father.

Noah Carter stepped forward, glanced quietly at Hope Williams, his gaze flickered slightly, then he looked towards Luna Williams and said to Maverick Williams, "Elder Williams, perhaps we should call a doctor to treat Luna’s burn first, and discuss the other matters later?"

Maverick Williams, extremely distressed for Luna Williams, glared at Grace Gray, "Why aren’t you going?"

"Yes."

"No need for that," Hope Williams said, tossing the wiping tissue into the trash can, "The soup was lukewarm; even if she put her entire hand into the soup, it wouldn’t cause a burn."

As she spoke, Hope Williams raised her fair hand, which wasn’t even reddened.

Everyone then looked at Luna Williams’s hand, which also showed no signs of redness.

The crowd’s gaze shifted, and Luna Williams lowered her head; her previous cries of pain now seemed so ironic.

"Haha," Hope Williams sneered.

"Wretch, so is it right for you to splash soup on Luna? And you still have the face to speak? Apologize to her immediately."

Hope Williams furrowed her brows, "Which eye of yours saw me splashing her? I kindly brought her soup to drink, she didn’t dare to drink, spilled it herself, and slandered me, and I still need to apologize to her?"

"Luna spilled the fish soup herself and slandered you? Shame on you for even saying that; she was just defending you a moment ago, but you accuse her like this now? It seems not only are you vicious, but you also lack the courage to own up."

Hope Williams sarcastically curled her lips, "Fine, since I’m already notorious among you all, if you say I splashed it, then let’s say I splashed it."

Hope glanced at Aunt Thompson and said, "But don’t waste this fine fish soup, pour her another bowl."

Aunt Thompson obediently did as instructed and poured another bowl of fish soup, which she handed to Luna Williams with both hands.

Luna Williams shrank back, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Hope Williams and trembled uncontrollably, "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I don’t want to drink it."

"If you don’t want to drink it, then don’t, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I would drug you?"

Tears kept falling from Luna Williams’s eyes, "Sister... I’ve never thought that way."

"If you’re not afraid, then why do you tremble so much at the sight of this bowl of soup?" Hope Williams’s voice grew harsher.

"I... I’m not afraid, sister, don’t talk nonsense."

Hope Williams slammed the bowl onto the table and stared blankly at the fish soup, "There indeed is a drug in this bowl of soup."

Everyone was shocked, and their looks towards Hope Williams grew more wary.

She actually admitted that there was a drug in the soup?

Luna Williams squinted her eyes, completely unable to understand Hope Williams.

"Hope Williams, what exactly are you trying to pull off today?" Maverick Williams burst out angrily.

Hope Williams looked at him scornfully, "But this drug won’t harm her, because the drug in this soup is an abortifacient."

"What?" Maverick Williams furrowed his brow.

"Your kind, gentle, and magnanimous granddaughter bribed my person to give me an abortifacient, wanting to terminate my pregnancy, did you hear that clearly?"

Luna Williams tightened, "You’re talking nonsense, sister, did you come here specifically to frame me?"

"Are you saying that I, for no reason, put an abortifacient in a bowl of soup and then presented it just to slander you?"

"I know you don’t like me, sister. Isn’t it quite normal for you to accuse me? You’re saying it’s me who wants to harm your baby, where’s the evidence?" Luna Williams’s attitude was defiant.

Hope Williams glanced at Aunt Thompson.

Aunt Thompson immediately stepped forward with tears in her eyes, but before she could speak, Luna Williams quickly interrupted.

"Aunt Thompson is your person; she will certainly speak for you, her employer, and slander me; her words are not trustworthy."

Hope Williams found this truly laughable, "Luna Williams, you seem to know my family’s servants quite well, even knowing her name and that she hasn’t said anything yet. Are you so eager to interrupt her because you’re afraid she’ll say something unfavorable to you?"

With these words, Leo Carter’s expression changed as he looked at Luna Williams, and Maverick Williams also noticed Luna Williams’s odd behavior.

Luna Williams felt a chill in her heart and quickly said, "Grace mentioned Aunt Thompson to me before..."

"Mentioned, but not met. How did you recognize her at a glance as the Aunt Thompson mentioned by Grace Gray?" freēnovelkiss.com

Hope Williams’s consecutive questions left Luna Williams unable to answer.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Have nothing to say?"

"I..."

"Since you have nothing to say, let me talk." Hope Williams tapped on her phone and then threw it in front of Luna Williams.

"This is the surveillance from yesterday in the hallway where Grace Gray brought Aunt Thompson to your hospital room. You met with my family’s servant, gave her a bottle of abortifacient, controlled her daughter and threatened her to work for you, Luna Williams, you really are something."

As she spoke, Hope Williams also threw the bottle of pills in front of Luna Williams.

Luna Williams looked at that bottle of pills and trembled.

Maverick Williams, somewhat incredulous, asked, "Luna, what exactly is going on?"
