She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 556: Debt
Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Debt
Leo Carter showed a suspicious look and tentatively asked, "What’s the good news?"
Noah Carter’s eyes were filled with excitement and nervousness.
"You have two younger sisters now."
Leo Carter frowned, "And the other good news?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Luna’s illness might be curable."
Leo Carter frowned even more, "The bad news?"
"There’s no chance between you and Luna."
Noah Carter breathed out in relief after finishing his sentence, a weight seemed to lift off his chest as he looked at Leo Carter.
Leo Carter’s dark pupils shook imperceptibly.
The expected surprise and shock did not appear on Leo Carter; he just silently stared at Noah Carter, his eyes increasingly filled with worry.
"Dad!"
Leo Carter supported Noah Carter, saying sternly, "Let’s go see a doctor together."
"You are the sick one."
Noah Carter pulled his hand back, saying seriously, "I am serious, son! Litte Hope and Luna are your biological sisters!"
Seeing Noah Carter’s serious manner, Leo Carter realized that perhaps he was not joking; his expression stiffened, "Dad, you..."
Noah Carter handed over the paternity test report to Leo Carter, without any hint of jest.
Leo Carter took the paternity test report.
His gaze trembled slightly as he looked at the words on it.
His eyes moved to the last...
Confirmed, Paternal, Relationship!
It was as if something exploded over his head.
He stared at Noah Carter as if struck by lightning, "You... Hope Williams! Luna Williams! Your biological daughters?"
"Leo..."
"Wait!" Leo Carter stepped back, his hand holding the paternity test trembling uncontrollably.
"How is this possible, are you joking? How could they suddenly be your biological daughters? This is ridiculous."
Leo Carter found it impossible to accept this news, it was too sudden, even with the paternity test results blatantly in front of him, he still couldn’t believe it.
Noah Carter watched Leo Carter’s reaction, becoming anxious.
He had been too excited, and hadn’t considered Leo Carter’s feelings, spilling it out directly.
"Leo, listen to Dad."
Leo Carter’s tense face was full of disbelief, the news was too unreal...
He silently watched Noah Carter, waiting for his explanation.
Having two half-sisters appear out of nowhere, one of whom was once his fiancée, how could he accept it.
"What happened? What exactly happened?" Leo Carter clutched the paternity test tightly, "How did Hope and Luna suddenly become your daughters?"
Noah Carter tightly pursed his lips, his face transitioning from initial excitement to gradually becoming solemn.
That matter had been buried in his heart for too long, too long; now suddenly being asked to explain, he didn’t know how to articulate it.
Seeing that Noah Carter remained silent, disappointment filled Leo Carter’s eyes as he spoke calmly, "Then keep it to discuss with mom."
"That won’t do." Noah Carter hurriedly objected, knowing full well the temperament of his wife; if she found out, it would not end well, and the lives of Hope Williams and Luna Williams would be troubled.
These were errors he had made years ago; he couldn’t let them be hurt again.
Noah Carter sighed heavily, regret and helplessness intertwined, he slowly began to recount the events of the past...
Leo Carter only listened as Noah Carter’s mouth opened and closed, saying a lot.
He spoke of the time when he and Maya Williams were childhood sweethearts, how he felt devastated when he learned that Maya Williams did not want to marry him but another man, how he got drunk and mistakenly entered Maya Williams’ room...
In the end, he confessed, "These were all mistakes I made in a moment of impulse, I’m sorry to your Aunt Maya, and I’m sorry to your mother."
After listening, Leo Carter silently lowered his eyes, unable to discern any emotion from his pitch-dark pupils.
The two remained silent for a while; then, Leo Carter asked, "What about my mom? How do you plan to explain to her?"
"Let’s not tell your mom about this for now, I will explain to her later."
Leo Carter slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "What about Hope Williams and Luna, how are you going to explain it to them?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Leo Carter’s eyes. He was unwilling to believe it, but the reality was in front of him, and he had no choice but to do so.
Noah Carter furrowed his brows, initially, he wanted to directly acknowledge his two daughters, but seeing Leo Carter’s reaction, he calmed down and lacked the courage to talk to them.
While the two were silent, Leo Carter’s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, his brows deeply furrowed.
It was Luna Williams.
Leo Carter’s hand holding the phone tensed up, the name Luna Williams on the screen making him feel powerless; how should he face Luna Williams from now on.
"Brother Leo," Luna Williams’ gentle voice sounded, "Brother Leo, I am returning to City A, will you and Uncle Carter come back with us?"
Luna Williams’ voice was cautiously gentle.
Leo Carter silently gripped his phone, his mind in turmoil.
After a long while, not hearing Leo Carter’s response, Luna Williams’ cautious voice continued, "Brother Leo, what’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing. You guys go ahead, we won’t come with you."
"Brother Leo, are you still mad at me?"
Leo Carter took a deep breath, "No."
"Brother Leo, the doctor said I only have two months left. I know there’s no possibility between us anymore, but would you still be willing to spend some time with me, in my last days?"
Listening to Luna Williams’ plea, the complex emotions in Leo Carter’s eyes intensified; after a while, he gave a bitter smile.
"I still have things to do, I’m hanging up now."
Leo Carter ended the call directly, feeling a stifling sensation in his chest, struggling to breathe.
"Was it Luna’s call?"
Leo Carter kept a stoic face and nodded, "Yeah."
"How is she? Let’s go see her." Thinking of his daughter suffering from such a serious illness, Noah Carter became immediately anxious.
"Don’t go. The doctor said she only has two months left, she’s gone back to City A."
Noah Carter’s brow furrowed deeply, "Then we should also go back. Luna’s illness is critical, she could be saved if the transplant is successful."
Leo Carter responded indifferently and began to walk ahead, not very keen on dealing with Noah Carter.
Noah Carter could understand the resentment and anger in his heart; it was his fault, he had caused them harm. Noah Carter pursed his lips tightly and lowered his eyes slightly.
...
Hope Williams had not much to pack, Waylon Lewis had arranged the discharge procedures, and she was ready to leave the hospital.
Waylon Lewis bundled up Hope Williams tightly and walked out of the hospital; the driver had already brought the car to the hospital entrance, waiting for them.
Waylon Lewis opened the car door, and as Hope Williams was about to get in, she saw a Bentley stop beside them from a distance.
Hope Williams saw the person who got out of the car, it was Noah Carter.
Before going back to City A, Noah Carter still wanted to visit Hope Williams.
As for revealing his identity as her father, he still hadn’t figured out how to tell Hope Williams.
Hope Williams watched the person walking towards her, blinking gently.
As Noah Carter silently watched Hope Williams, there was unmistakable affection in his eyes, and a few tears of excitement welled up.
Hope Williams frowned slightly, feeling an odd sensation as the man stood still, watching her.
Oddly, she felt like this man had endless things he wanted to tell her.
"Little Hope," Noah Carter’s voice was much softer and deeper.
"Mr. Carter," Hope Williams’s voice remained as calm as usual.
Unexpectedly, the emotions in the depths of Noah Carter’s eyes grew even more intense.
Guilty, expectant, helpless, affectionate...
