She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 273 - I Can Agree to the Divorce

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: I Can Agree to the Divorce

Hope Williams moved her lips slightly, looking at Liam Cloud with some complex emotions.

She was always caught between guilt and gratitude when it came to her feelings for Liam Cloud.

She was grateful for how he had appeared time after time to rescue her without regard for his own safety.

She had said that without Liam, there would be no Hope Williams or Luke and Willow today; if not for Liam, they might have died in that chaotic fire long ago.

During those frightening days abroad, it was Liam who gave her a sense of security.

Even though this man had countless enemies and being hunted was part of his daily life, it’s said that Liam’s Achilles heel was a woman, and there were many who wanted to harm her. Yet, she never once faced danger by his side.

All of this was because Liam was protecting her from behind, and Hope knew it.

But gratitude was gratitude, and feelings were feelings.

Liam was someone she regarded as family, the closest of kin.

She previously didn’t know about his feelings for her; now that she did, she couldn’t respond in kind, and she felt guilty towards Liam.

He was the one protecting her, and also the one she wanted to protect.

So, she was sorry that she had a selfish wish—perhaps Liam truly owed the Lewis Family his life, but she still hoped that Liam could be well.

“Liam…”

Hope called out softly, silently stepping forward and gently hugging Liam.

The sudden embrace made Liam’s body shiver slightly, his dark eyes widened slightly.

“Leave, please,” Hope said softly.

Liam’s brows pinched together, stunned for a moment before lightly wrapping his arms around Hope.

A moment later…

“Okay, if that’s what you wish, I’ll leave.”

“Thank you.”

The whispered exchange between them was inaudible to those around.

The air grew colder, sending shivers through those present.

Nobody dared to look at Waylon Lewis’s expression; even Alitzel Williams subconsciously stepped back, watching as Waylon stared intensely at the embracing couple, his gaze detached yet icy cold.

Hope quickly let go of Liam.

“Will you miss me when I’m gone?”

Hope pursed her lips, “I will.”

Liam smirked with a smile, “Knowing you’re lying to me, you ungrateful wretch, you won’t miss me at all.”

“…”

“But…” he tugged at his lip lightly, “even if you’re lying to me, it makes me happy.”

Willing to be deceived by you.

The more he said, the guiltier Hope felt.

The man behind her already stepped forward, pulling her back into his embrace as she looked up at Waylon Lewis.

Liam waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately started to leave.

Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz gave Hope a gentle wave; they knew that Hope was doing this for the good of their Big Boss.

They were on the Lewis Family’s turf; staying here would bring them no good.

The Lewis Family had deep-seated grievances against them, and although Hope had protected them and allowed them to leave, she was one of the Lewises. Clearly, Hope’s days ahead would not be easy.

Despite their concerns, they could not stay and cause more trouble.

Hope smiled slightly, nodding in acknowledgment.

“Time to go,” Liam raised his eyebrows looking at Hope, then glanced at Waylon Lewis and turned to leave.

Christopher Lewis stared intently at Liam’s disappearing figure, his eyes filled with venomous hatred, thinking that Liam wouldn’t be able to escape so easily; they wouldn’t get out of Emperor Capital.

His son’s life had to be compensated.

Christopher turned his piercing gaze back to Hope and Waylon, furiously ordering, “Both of you, come here.”

Back in the hospital room.

Christopher glared at Hope with hostility, “You have a deep connection with Liam Cloud!”

Waylon immediately pulled Hope behind him, protectively, with a blank expression confronting Christopher’s glare, “This matter has nothing to do with her.”

“Nothing to do with her? Waylon, your own brother died, and yet you allowed the murderer to go free because of this woman,” Christopher said, slamming his hand on the table in anger.

“Did you know about her relationship with Liam all along?”

Waylon’s lips were a firm line, “Yes.”

“Fine, fine! It’s like you’re all rebelling against the heavens,” Christopher said, holding his chest in a fit of anger.

He never expected his son to forgo avenging a great wrong because of a woman.

Because of a woman, his son chose not to pursue revenge.

He couldn’t allow this woman to continue bewitching Waylon and to lose his sense, staying by his side.

“This woman defends another man, and you yourself saw what she did with that man in front of you! Waylon, come to your senses, stop being obstinate, get a divorce, she’s not on your side.”

“Impossible,” Waylon’s low voice was a resolute and total rejection.

No hesitation was present.

Christopher’s eyes bulged with anger—seeing Waylon fall deeper only made him more anxious, looking at his son with deep sorrow.

“How can you be so enchanted by a woman? Moreover, this woman is deeply connected with our family’s enemy. Aren’t you afraid she’ll betray you?”

“She won’t,” Waylon said, his voice neither light nor heavy, but it carried a commanding presence.

“How can you be so sure? Just now, she was siding with that man in every way. You need to wake up.”

“I am awake. She would never do that,” Waylon’s grip tightened on Hope’s hand, his gaze solemn.

“She doesn’t love you…”

“Even if she doesn’t love me, it’s enough that I love her.”

Hope’s heart trembled.

“You! You’re hopeless! I won’t agree to you continuing to be with her,” Christopher decided, resolved to separate them.

Previously, he had been somewhat swayed because this woman had borne two children for the Lewis Family.

But now, because of her relationship with Liam, he would never let her stay by Waylon’s side and continue to be a detriment to him.

Waylon replied, “That’s fine.”

Hope’s eyes widened in shock.

He’d said that was fine.

Was he going to divorce her?

Christopher’s gaze flickered, “You’ve come to your senses?”

“I can agree to a divorce,” Waylon said darkly.

Hope looked deeply into Waylon’s eyes, her tightly grasped hand beginning to sweat.

Utter disbelief filled her eyes.

Sensing the gaze of the woman beside him, Waylon looked down at her.

Christopher let out a heavy sigh of relief; Waylon had always been intelligent. He believed Waylon would come to understand. He wouldn’t disappoint him.

“It’s good that you’ve come to terms.”
