She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 264 - No One is Allowed to Bully You

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: No One is Allowed to Bully You

Willow had been sitting quietly on the sofa when she stood up to go to her room.

Just as she took a few steps, a knock came from the door.

Who could it be at this hour?

Willow’s heart raced as she called out, “Who is it?”

No response.

Willow blinked, and the knocking persisted, as if whoever it was would keep knocking until she opened the door.

Her brows furrowed tighter, and after scanning the living room, she grabbed something handy for safety and approached the door with both hands.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

The knocking grew more urgent, the person on the other side seemingly out of patience.

Willow peeped through the door’s peephole on tiptoes, quietly looking outside.

“Mommy, what are you doing?”

Luke and Willow appeared, catching Willow crouched by the door like a thief.

“Shh,” Willow quickly gestured for them to be silent.

Luke and Willow immediately covered their mouths, curiously watching Willow.

Willow looked toward the door again, only seeing a black figure swaying.

The person outside grew impatient, the knocks becoming more frequent, “Hope Williams, open the door.”

That voice sounded so familiar.

Willow’s frowned brows relaxed, and upon opening the door, she saw, “Liam Cloud!”

Liam Cloud leaned against the doorway, a cigarette in his mouth, looking at her with a lazy slant, his unruly silver hair as arrogant and scattered as ever.

He smirked lightly.

“Not bad, I’ve been knocking for five minutes.”

“Are you sick?”

“Just found out today?” freewebnσvel.cѳm

Willow clicked her tongue in speechlessness, “Aren’t you supposed to be in Y country, what are you doing here?”

Liam Cloud’s eyebrows quirked mischievously, and he smirked, “You like talking in the doorway?”

“…”

Willow stepped back, letting him in.

“Uncle Liam Cloud.” Seeing Liam Cloud, the two kids excitedly crowded in front of him.

“Tsk.” Liam Cloud clicked his tongue lightly, bending down to look at the two kids, “Has your mom been feeding you like pigs? How did you get so chubby?”

“Hmph, hmph.” Luke and Willow huffed indignantly, “Not at all, Uncle Liam Cloud, you’re still the same as before.”

“The same how?”

“The same ‘always speaking out of turn.'”

“…”

Hope closed the door, crossing her arms and looking at him helplessly, “Alright, tell me, what brings you here in the middle of the night?”

“I just got off the plane tonight.”

“Oh, and then?”

Liam Cloud pulled out a cigarette, glanced around, put it down, and looked expressionlessly at her, “Then I went to the Lewis Family to find you, only to see you’d been kicked out.”

Liam Cloud stared at her, flames dancing within his icy gaze.

“Tell me, how were you wronged?”

Hope blinked, deliberately avoiding Liam Cloud’s intense stare, “It’s nothing.”

“It’s nothing?”

Liam Cloud scoffed.

“It’s nothing, yet you look like a mess.”

“Can’t you speak normally?” Hope was speechless.

Liam Cloud’s lips were tightly pursed, clearly suppressing anger, and with a long arm he stretched out and grabbed Hope by the collar forcefully, “Come with me.”

Hope felt herself being lifted by this man, and immediately panicked, “Where? Let go of me.”

“Whoever bullied you, I’ll take you to bully them back.”

Seeing his glum expression, Hope knew he was serious.

Hope’s back stiffened immediately; if this guy went there, the situation could be disastrous.

Hope quickly raised her hand to refuse, “I’m not going, let go of me, Liam Cloud, can’t we handle this calmly?”

“I am calm, if I weren’t calm I would have blown up the Lewis Family instead of coming to find you first.”

Hope’s face darkened slightly, “You better let go of me first.”

“I won’t.”

“It’s killing me.”

“Where does it hurt?” Liam Cloud immediately let go.

Hope smartly took a step back, creating a safe distance between them.

Realizing he had been tricked, Liam Cloud’s face darkened further.

Hope watched as Liam Cloud stood still before lowering her guard and speaking, “This matter is complicated; violence won’t solve anything, it’ll only add more conflicts.”

“Add more conflicts?” Liam Cloud chuckled, “Just dealing with it once and for all is clean, no more conflicts possible.”

Hope rubbed her temples, “Can’t your brain have fewer thoughts of violence?”

“Can’t.”

“…”

Hope held the glass of water in front of her and took a sip, her expression deeply troubled.

“Uncle Cloud, you still haven’t said why you came here,” Luke cleverly diverted the conversation.

“Uncle Cloud, are you here for Mommy?”

Seeing the kids divert the topic, Hope also quickly changed tack and asked, “Right, why did you suddenly come?”

Liam Cloud’s gaze shifted slightly, “It’s not sudden, I’ve moved my affairs from overseas here in these past few months, I’ll be staying here from now on.”

“What?” Hope looked at Liam Cloud, clearly unsettled.

“What’s the matter?” his voice deepened slightly, “Are you not pleased?”

This guy was back in the country, and furthermore, right in Emperor Capital; there was always the possibility of running into Waylon Lewis.

Hope couldn’t imagine what it would be like if these two men met.

But whatever it was, a storm of blood and strife was inevitable.

“Why are you returning to the country?”

“Because I wanted to be closer to you.”
