She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 557: Take Good Care of Yourself
Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Take Good Care of Yourself
Hope Williams’s eyes gradually filled with confusion as she looked up and locked eyes with Waylon Lewis.
Waylon Lewis’s brows furrowed slightly as he reached out and pulled Hope Williams back into his arms, his gaze strangely fixed on Noah Carter.
"Mr. Carter, are you alright?"
Hope Williams slightly tilted her head.
What is Mr. Carter trying to pull?
"I’m fine." Noah Carter managed his emotions and asked, "Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Hope Williams nodded, "I’m preparing to go home to recuperate. Mr. Carter, what about you?"
"We are going back to City A. Before leaving, I wanted to come and see you."
Waylon Lewis glared furiously, thinking: So he’s going back, but he also has to come see his wife before leaving?
Hope Williams nodded, assuming it was due to the relationship he had with her mother, making him particularly concerned about her.
"I’m much better, thank you for your concern, Mr. Carter."
"Even if you’re better, you need to take good care of yourself when you return. Don’t be careless. Avoid vigorous exercises to prevent hurting your wounds. Have regular check-ups. Also, since you are still pregnant, make sure not to overexert. Rest well, and don’t bother going to the company; your health is more important than work."
An eerie silence ensued.
Noah Carter, oblivious, continued, "And you’re too thin now. You have a baby, you need to eat more, so the fetus can get the nutrients it needs..."
Waylon Lewis gave him a deep look, "Mr. Carter, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Hope Williams had only met Noah Carter a few times, and his concern seemed excessively over the top.
Noah Carter paused, then realized that Hope Williams didn’t know he was her father; his concern, without a proper role, seemed too much.
He was too impatient as he hadn’t fulfilled his duties as a father over the years.
He was filled with guilt, consumed by thoughts of how to be good to his daughter.
He remained silent for a while, his eyes showing some loss, and finally sighed, looking at Hope Williams, "Take good care of yourself."
Hope Williams pursed her lips, feeling an inexplicable sensation tugging at her heart.
Indescribable, unexplainable.
"Thank you for caring, I will," Hope Williams unconsciously softened a bit and nodded gently.
Noah Carter’s gaze flickered, nodding twice, "Then, I’ll be going."
"Yes, have a safe journey."
Noah Carter turned to leave, took a few steps, then looked back at Hope Williams again, silently saying, "We will meet again."
Leo Carter stayed in the car, not getting out, as he didn’t know how to face this half-sister he shared a father with.
Waylon Lewis’s brow twitched, pulling Hope Williams into the car.
"Don’t you think that man’s way of looking at you was off?"
Hope Williams noticed it too, "He grew up with my mother; they were childhood sweethearts. He loved my mother; maybe that’s why he’s particularly concerned."
The only reason Hope Williams could find was this.
"Hmm."
Hope Williams leaned into Waylon Lewis’s arms, sighing lightly, "Don’t overthink it, let’s head home."
Waylon Lewis placed his hand on her waist, "Alright."
...
For the following month, Hope Williams mostly stayed at home, her wounds fully healed, and the baby in her belly was now four months.
Hope Williams wanted to go to the office but was strictly kept at home by Waylon Lewis and Alitzel Williams, worried that she might overexert herself.
Ansen stabilized over the month, which Hope Williams knew was managed by people arranged by Waylon Lewis.
Elias Patel sometimes brought important documents for her to sign.
During other times, Hope Williams spent time with Luke and Willow studying, would take a nap at noon, and then enjoy a leisurely walk in the garden; life was exceptionally pleasant.
"Mrs. Lewis, if you keep staying at home, you’re going to start growing fur." When Aria Richardson arrived, she saw Hope Williams lying on the sofa reading a book and reached out to gently poke her waist.
Hope Williams was very ticklish and flinched twice before hurriedly grabbing Aria Richardson’s hand.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to keep you company, it’s nice out today. Want to go shopping?"
Hope Williams sat up, realizing she hadn’t been out for a long time, so she agreed.
Hope Williams got ready and went out with Luke, Willow, and Aria Richardson.
They arrived at the shopping mall.
As they shopped and chatted, "By the way, when are you and President Lewis planning to have your wedding? I’m waiting to celebrate with you, why aren’t you in a hurry?"
The wedding had been delayed multiple times due to various reasons. A couple of days ago, when they went to the old house for dinner, Alitzel Williams and the old master had also urged them.
Hope Williams pursed her lips, "I’m not in a rush. It’s just a wedding, Waylon and I are already like an old married couple, and, look, I’m pregnant. A wedding is too cumbersome, and Mr. Lewis doesn’t want me to overexert myself at all."
Aria Richardson looked at Hope Williams, whose face was sweet with a smile, and couldn’t help clicking her tongue twice, feeling full from the ’dog food’ (show of affection).
"How’s your sickly sister and the Williams Family doing?"
Hope Williams raised an eyebrow slightly, "I’m not sure."
In the past month, Jade Bell rarely contacted her. Previously, Waylon had helped Jade Bell with the condition that she shouldn’t bother Hope Williams with any troublesome matters, which might be the reason.
As for Luna Williams, she had no close emotional connection with her and hadn’t bothered to check on her status either.
Hope Williams gently touched her slightly bulging belly, thinking of the past incidents, she sighed.
Forget it, what’s past is past, she doesn’t hold grudges against anyone anymore.
Seeing Hope Williams frown and then sigh, Aria Richardson decided not to mention it anymore and changed the subject, "Let’s go over there, Luke, Willow, do you want ice cream cake?"
"Yes." Luke and Willow’s eyes lit up.
"Come on, godmom will take you to buy some," said Aria Richardson as she pulled the two kids along.
Willow pouted, "But what about Mommy? Mommy has a baby now, she can’t eat cold things."
Aria Richardson smiled, "Let her watch the three of us eat."
Hope Williams, "..."
Aria Richardson took the two kids to buy ice cream cake, and just then, Hope Williams’ phone rang.
It was Harry Williams.
Hope Williams paused, wondering why Harry Williams would suddenly call her.
Hope Williams answered the phone, puzzled.
"Cousin."
"Yes, what is it?"
"There is something. In a few days, it’s grandma’s 80th birthday banquet, and grandma asked me to invite you to come back for it."
The 80th birthday banquet of her grandmother, Hope Williams slightly raised her eyebrows; Luna Williams was so ill, could her grandmother really be in the mood to hold a birthday banquet?
As Harry Williams was speaking, a voice from nearby spoke up, "Let me talk to Little Hope."
Jade Bell took the phone from Harry Williams.
"Little Hope."
"Grandma."
"Little Hope, would you like to come back?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
Hope Williams pursed her lips, since Jade Bell herself was asking and it was the old woman’s 80th birthday, Hope Williams naturally had no reason to refuse, "Since it’s your 80th birthday, Grandma, of course, I will come."
Jade Bell’s voice was filled with joy, "Good, good, then grandma will wait for you to come back."
"By the way, Grandma, how is Luna doing?"
Hope Williams couldn’t help but ask.
