She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 532: Dying for You to Witness!

"Knock knock..."

Two knocks at the door caused both of them to stiffen abruptly, turning their heads sharply towards the entrance.

Waylon Lewis’s expression visibly darkened.

Hope Williams took a deep breath and steadied herself before asking, "Who is it?"

"Little Hope, are you asleep? It’s Grandma."

"Just a moment."

Hope regained some of her wits, swallowed her saliva, and propped herself up against Waylon’s chest, "Wait a moment..."

"Why is your grandma here now?"

"I’ll explain that to you later." Hope pushed against Waylon’s body, and seeing the man’s forlorn look, she uttered comfortingly, "Be good."

Waylon reluctantly allowed Hope to push him away as she sat up, straightening her clothes and pulling the quilt over him.

After adjusting her clothes, Hope checked her reflection in the mirror to make sure she looked presentable before she went to open the door.

Jade Bell stood at the doorway, a somewhat concerned expression on her face.

Hope did her best to breathe evenly, "Grandma, what’s wrong? Why haven’t you gone to bed so late?"

Jade replied, "I went downstairs to make some hot water, and passing by your door, I heard the sound of something breaking. I wanted to check if everything was okay."

Hope unconsciously pressed her lips, swollen from Waylon’s kisses, and feigned calm as she shook her head, "No issues, Grandma. I just accidentally broke a teacup. It’s nothing."

Jade noticed Hope’s somewhat swollen lips, blinked, and glanced into her room.

She then saw a part of the quilt on the bed moving slightly.

Jade was filled with shock; she remembered Hope saying that Waylon was away on a trip.

Then who was in her room?

Observing Hope’s somewhat anxious expression, Jade seemed to understand and her gaze grew complex.

"Grandma, it’s quite late. You should go back and rest," Hope said.

Jade was taken aback, staring at Hope in a daze as though she couldn’t believe that Hope could be such a person...

"Cough... Grandma?"

"Grandma?"

"Ah?" Jade finally snapped back to reality.

Hope, "What’s wrong?"

Jade pursed her lips, seemingly trying to find the right words, and after a long moment, she said, "This... Little Hope, this won’t do, it really won’t do, you... you can’t do this!"

A corner of Hope’s mouth twitched as she looked at Jade oddly, "What won’t do? Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Jade frowned deeply, took hold of Hope’s hand, and pulled her a few steps out before speaking earnestly, "Let me tell you, the young master of the Lewis Family is deeply in love with you. And you’re married, with a baby on the way. We absolutely cannot do anything to betray him, understand? Now, get that scoundrel out of your room."

Scoundrel!

Cough...

Jade was fairly angry, extremely sympathetic to Waylon.

Hope hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "Grandma, he is not..."

"Not what? Little Hope, I know young people are more open-minded these days, but this really can’t go on. Have that man leave at once."

Jade took a firm stance, not allowing Hope to make a mistake.

"Grandma, he is..."

Jade, catching sight of the person who walked out of the room, "Waylon Lewis?"

"Ah, yes!"

Hope, looking at Jade, nodded repeatedly. At this moment, an arm wrapped around her waist from behind.

Turning her head, Hope saw Waylon Lewis next to her, his expression dark.

Waylon, looking at Jade and keeping his emotions in check out of respect as she was Hope’s grandmother, called out, "Grandma."

"You... weren’t you supposed to be on a business trip?"

"She missed me, so I came back to accompany her."

Jade coughed lightly, realizing her mistake and feeling somewhat embarrassed, tried to change the subject, "You came back just for her?"

"Mhm."

A smile quickly spread across Jade’s face, "I see, well this..."

Jade Bell suddenly felt so embarrassed she hardly knew what to say.

Hope also realized that Jade had misunderstood.

"Do you have anything else, Grandma?" Waylon asked expressionlessly.

Jade shook her head quickly, "No, nothing else."

"You should go back to your room and rest. We’re going to continue," Waylon said with a straight face.

Hope nearly choked upon hearing him speak so bluntly and tugged at his shirt.

Feeling overtly awkward, Jade quickly turned to leave, but then she couldn’t help but advise, "Little Hope, you’re pregnant now. You should go to bed early at night and mustn’t play around... recklessly, alright?"

Not play around recklessly?

Hope chuckled and nodded.

Once Jade had left, Waylon pulled Hope back into the room and, the instant he shut the door, he pinned her against it, his dark eyes fixing on her.

Scoundrel!

Hope suddenly burst into laughter.

"Laughing at what?"

"The term ’scoundrel’... that descriptor..."

Hope shook her head, her laughter not subsiding.

Waylon was close to losing his temper. If it weren’t for the fact that she was Hope’s grandmother, he really wanted to toss her out.

"Hope Williams."

"Hmm?"

Waylon’s voice was low and carried a hint of anger.

"Stop laughing."

As he spoke, his lips were about to descend on hers when Hope placed her hand over his mouth, "It’s really late... how about we continue next time?"

Waylon’s face turned as dark as the night outside in an instant, the flames flickering in his dark eyes.

"Hope Williams... if we delay to next time, I’ll just... die right in front of you!"

Hearing Waylon say this with a dark face, Hope’s expression first froze, but then she found the man both funny and endearing.

Perhaps even he felt that his words were somewhat childish, pausing between every few words.

Seeing his indignant and wronged expression, Hope continued to laugh uncontrollably.
