She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 533 I Don’t Want the Stars Anymore, I Want to Survive
Chapter 533: Chapter 533 I Don’t Want the Stars Anymore, I Want to Survive
Waylon Lewis scooped up Hope Williams, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Turning around, Waylon carried her back to the bed, the emotions in his eyes growing increasingly intense.
Hope did not refuse him, letting him do as he wished.
But Waylon dared not use too much force, his movements were very gentle, and he did not toss and turn her excessively.
After everything was done, Waylon contentedly carried Hope to the bathroom.
After cleaning up, Waylon carefully carried his beloved woman back to the bed.
Hope, too lazy to move, curled up in Waylon’s embrace, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Waylon got up earlier than Hope; the woman in the bed was still deep in sleep. Waylon did not disturb her; after washing up, he tiptoed to the doorway.
Just as he opened the door, two little ones barged in.
Luke and Willow, who had come looking for Hope, were met with the sudden appearance of Waylon.
"Ah~"
Their tender voices couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, their expressions entirely astonished, then their eyes lit up, and, with arms wide open, they joyfully threw themselves toward Waylon, "Daddy~"
"Shush!" Waylon made a silencing gesture.
Luke and Willow blinked their eyes.
"Mommy is still sleeping, we can’t disturb her."
Both little ones nodded in unison, quickly covering their own mouths.
Waylon walked out, softly closing the door behind him.
Once the door was closed, the three allowed themselves to speak a little louder.
"Daddy, how come you’re back? Weren’t you supposed to be on a long business trip? You came back so soon, did you miss us?"
Willow’s little face was full of happiness, and of course, so was Luke’s.
Waylon’s business trip was supposed to be long, but to see their daddy in just one day made Luke and Willow almost believe they were dreaming.
"No, I didn’t miss you guys."
He certainly wouldn’t miss these two mischievous little ones.
All Waylon could think about was his wife.
"Is that so." Willow hugged her own small hands, her little mouth pouted, feeling aggrieved, "But Willow and brother both missed Daddy so much, and Daddy actually doesn’t miss us, that’s so sad."
Willow stretched out her hand to hug Luke beside her, seeking comfort from her brother.
Luke cooperated very well with Willow’s act, immediately speaking in a soft voice, "We won’t be sad, Willow; next time, we also won’t miss him."
Waylon looked down at them, his dark brows raised, the corners of his lips uncontrollably curling up.
Willow had many tricks up her sleeve, and Luke was clever; the two little ones together could put on a full performance.
Even though Waylon knew that these two children were mostly just acting, his heart still softened, and he squatted down, "Alright, alright, I missed you guys, does that make you happy now?"
"Really?" Willow’s eyes brightened, and she said happily, "Then next time, we will also miss you."
Waylon was close to being amused by these two little ones.
Inside the room, Hope woke up, glanced at the clock on the wall with bleary eyes, blinked, turned over, and her hand subconsciously reached for the space beside her. Feeling nothing but empty air, Hope called out with her eyes closed, "Waylon?"
Hearing Hope’s call at the door, Waylon turned around to go back in, with the two little ones following closely behind.
Waylon stopped in his tracks, his tall figure blocking the doorway, "Did she call for you?"
"Heehee..."
Willow raised her little face, smiling mischievously, "Daddy, do you think Willow is cute?"
Waylon looked at his daughter, unable to resist smiling, "Mm, cute, and then?"
"So, can the cute Willow go see Mommy?"
"No, you can’t."
Without equivocation, he was resolute.
Luke, "Daddy, I..."
Waylon picked up one child in each arm and moved them outside, "Go downstairs for breakfast."
He closed the door, very decisively.
Hearing the noise at the door, Hope stirred within the blankets, propping herself up a bit, "Waylon, what are you two up to? Why did you send them out?"
Waylon Lewis came over, picked her up, took his own shirt, and helped her put it on.
Hope Williams was mostly awake from her sleepiness now.
Waylon held her in his arms and said, "Do you want them to see and then ask a million questions why?"
Only then did Hope remember that after she had taken her bath and dried herself last night, Waylon didn’t dress her but took her directly to bed to sleep.
Last night he couldn’t wait to kiss her all over and left quite a few marks on her body.
If Luke and Willow were to see this, she reckoned they’d be on her tail asking for a clear explanation.
Hope rubbed her head and buttoned up her shirt while checking the time, "It’s half-past seven, will you be in a rush to get back?"
After all, given that it was abroad, even if Waylon Lewis had a private jet, it would still take two to three hours.
"It’s fine, I’ll have breakfast with you before I go," Waylon stroked her head gently, "Do you want to sleep some more?"
"Let’s get up, no more sleeping. There’s a lot to do."
She had lost an entire day yesterday, and today there was even more to delay, "Everything with Ansen has to be taken step by step, and I also have to meet with a herbal medicine dealer this afternoon to discuss a partnership."
"Let someone else handle the discussions for partnerships."
Waylon, a seasoned businessman, knew well that discussions for partnerships inevitably involved eating out, and drinking was hard to avoid.
Hope knew his concerns, "Don’t worry, Elias Patel was very considerate and pre-investigated the other party’s preferences, we arranged to meet at a teahouse."
Hearing her say this, Waylon felt relieved and nodded.
After getting dressed and ready, Hope followed Waylon downstairs.
In the downstairs dining room, Luke and Willow were having breakfast, and Jade Bell was also there.
Luke and Willow sweetly called out "Great Grandmother," making Jade’s smile constant and unending.
Hope couldn’t help but smile.
As soon as Hope came downstairs, Jade originally wanted to mention Luna Williams’s situation, but seeing Waylon with Hope, Jade pressed her lips together, holding back her words.
After breakfast, Waylon had no time to stay longer and left straight away.
Throughout breakfast, Hope heard his phone ringing incessantly, worrying that there might be urgent matters to attend to.
Jade approached Hope, opened her mouth as though to speak, hesitating, not knowing quite how to say what was on her mind.
"Grandma, I know what you want to say." Hope, unable to help it, seated Jade back on the sofa, "Don’t worry, she’s an adult with money, she won’t die, she’s probably admitted to a hospital somewhere."
However, with many hospitals in Emperor Capital, if she intended to hide, finding her could be quite troublesome.
"I know, but, Little Hope, I don’t know why, today my heart feels restless all day, feeling like something is going to happen," Jade said worriedly.
Hope looked at Jade’s concerned expression and comforted her, "Don’t worry, it’s all right."
Jade let out a sigh, her gaze drifting into the distance, "Hopefully."
Last night, Luna Williams ran out of money and could only call Maverick Williams. When Maverick found Luna, she was curled up by the roadside, frail-looking, dressed lightly, her slender figure as if it would collapse with a mere blow.
Maverick immediately took Luna to a private hospital for treatment in a flurry.
Now Luna’s complexion looked much better than when she was first found, but Maverick was still fraught with worry.
"What on earth are you still planning to do?" Maverick sat nearby, asking in a stern voice.
Hope’s words last night also reminded Maverick that Luna was adamant about not returning to City A, because she had a purpose.
She sneaked away and spent all the money she had in one night, what exactly had she done? freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Luna, who was originally looking down reading a book, paused. Her pale face was expressionless, calm and natural.
"I don’t plan to do anything, what are you talking about, Grandpa?" Luna kept her head down, not even lifting her eyes, her gaze fixed on the pages of the book.
Maverick frowned, "You still want to use Hope’s bone marrow, don’t you?"
Luna’s face changed slightly, still obstinately reading her book, clearly unable to absorb a single word.
Maverick, angered, snatched the book from her hands and slammed it on the table, "Look at me when I talk to you."
Luna slowly lifted her head, gritting her molars and staring at Maverick, "What do you want me to say, Grandpa?"
"Stop this, not only in Emperor Capital, even if it were in City A, your grandfather has already tried his best, but still let Hope slip away, let alone in Emperor Capital."
Luna’s lips trembled, looking at Maverick, "Grandpa, I still remember when I was little, you told me, ’If our Luna wants the stars in the sky, grandpa will pluck them for Luna.’ Do you remember?"
Maverick was taken aback.
Picking up the book again, Luna looked down and spoke, "But grandpa, I don’t want the stars anymore, I just want to live, can I?"
