She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 88 - She Won’t Make a Move Easily

Chapter 88 -88 She Won’t Make a Move Easily

Joy Ward coldly pulled at the corner of her mouth, “Hope Williams, why must you always be against me? What good does it do you?”

Hope Williams’s lips curled with a hint of mockery.

“Isn’t it you who’s been biting at me like a mad dog?”

“You!” Joy’s fists clenched tightly as she took two steps forward, “Hope Williams, don’t you have any evidence yet? Are you still not giving up?”

Hope raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke indifferently, “It’s just what you think, Joy. From now on, you’d better tuck your foxy tail in and see if there are any other loopholes you’ve left unfilled. Remember to check for any oversights, and patch them up. Don’t let me catch any leverage against you, or else… you’re done for.”

“What do you mean?” Joy’s face instantly took on a guarded expression as she grabbed Hope’s hand, “You… what evidence do you still have?”

...

Hope shook off Joy’s hand with cold detachment.

Furious, Joy gritted her teeth, her gaze seeming as though she wanted to tear Hope apart by any means necessary.

As Hope turned around, Joy raised her hand to grab at Hope. But with a swift shift of her eyes, Hope sidestepped, her icy gaze landing on the suspended hand. With a chilling look in her eyes, she directly seized the hand.

“What’s this? Trying old tricks again?”

“…” Joy’s silver teeth seemed almost on the verge of shattering as she struggled furiously to break free from Hope’s grip, but held by Hope’s pinch, she couldn’t muster any strength.

All of a sudden, Joy raised her other hand, aiming to slap Hope across the face, but Hope, sensing Joy’s intent, preemptively raised her hand and struck Joy’s face first.

“Ah… Hope Williams, you!” Enraged to the point of gnashing her teeth, it was at this moment that Joy suddenly saw someone approaching from a distance, her lips curling into a twisted smile. In the next moment, her expression changed dramatically, “Miss Williams, why are you hitting me? Please, let me go…”

The sudden change of face was utterly repulsive to Hope, who, sensing someone approaching, still didn’t hesitate to let go of Joy’s hand.

Joy stumbled weakly, tears falling as if they cost nothing, “Miss Williams, you…”

“Cut out the acting, it disgusts me.”

Hope turned to leave and saw a man standing behind her with an unhappy expression.

She didn’t know how long he had been standing there listening, but Hope was not the least bit guilty and said nothing.

Without hesitation, Hope began to walk away, but after just a few steps, her arm was seized by the man, and a hint of coldness flickered in Hope’s eyes.

Hope looked at him indifferently, removed his hand from hers with a calm sweep, and coldly walked past him.

Waylon Lewis scanned Joy, his deep eyes gliding over with touches of inquiry and complexity.

“Waylon, I was just coming to see how Miss Williams was doing after her discharge today, never expecting her to suddenly lose her temper. It was really too much,” Joy said.

“You knew she was temperamental and still chose to provoke her?” Waylon asked faintly.

Joy opened her mouth, having thought that Waylon would at least offer her some comfort, but his unexpected question left her at a loss.

“I just wanted to be friends with Miss Williams.”

Saying this, Joy deliberately lowered her hand to reveal the redness on her cheek from Hope’s slap.

“If she’s not willing, why force her?”

“I…”

“Joy Ward, do you really think I can’t see through these tricks of yours?” Waylon’s handsome features grew colder by the second, his voice cool and devoid of any warmth.

“Waylon, I don’t understand what you mean,” Joy said, nervous and fearful.

“Hope Williams may have a temper, but she wouldn’t raise her hand if she weren’t provoked to the extreme.”

Joy Ward understood the meaning behind Waylon Lewis’s words.

The meaning was that she had done something that crossed Hope Williams’s bottom line and was now suffering the consequences.

Watching Waylon Lewis leave, Joy Ward was both angry and resentful, blaming Hope Williams for it all.

…

Hope Williams went to the airport, grabbed the herbal medicine, and returned home. She put the other herbs together and brewed them herself. After the incident with Joy Ward, she didn’t trust leaving the medicine at the Lewis Family home.

The other members of the Lewis Family wouldn’t harm Grandpa Lewis, but they trusted Joy Ward. There could be more mistakes, and Hope Williams would not allow such a thing to happen again.

After Hope Williams had slowly simmered the medicine over a low heat and it was ready, she personally delivered it to the Lewis Family home. She watched as the servant fed the medicine to the old master, and the heart that had been in her throat these past days finally settled.

Hope Williams then performed acupuncture with Silver Needle on Grandpa Lewis. After being busy for half a day and seeing Grandpa Lewis’s heart rate stabilize, she finally left at ease.

When she got home, the two little ones, Aria Richardson, had already been picked up. Because Hope Williams hadn’t told them about her discharge, they had quite a bit of complaining to do.

The next day, Hope Williams went to work as usual.

The hospital.

Director Woods called Hope Williams into his office and handed her a medical record with a serious and solemn expression.

“Take a look. This patient’s surgery is probably something only you can do.”

Seeing the furrow in Director Woods’s brow, Hope Williams took the medical record and carefully looked over each page, her brows involuntarily furrowing, “This kind of heart tumor isn’t common, and the tumor has reached an advanced stage. What makes it more difficult is that the patient is elderly and suffers from multiple diseases.”

Hope Williams couldn’t help but tense her brows even more.

“That’s right, and the patient is Old Lady Mrs. Knox of the Knox Family. The hospital is giving special attention to this surgery because of her esteemed status. However, given Mrs. Knox’s current health status, the mortality risk from the surgery is predicted to be very high, so…”

Hope Williams pursed her lips, “So no doctor dares to take it?!”

Director Woods, with a helpless twist to his brow, nodded his head.

After all, the risk of death was too high, and the surgery was extremely difficult. Not to mention the psychological pressure on the doctors, a high failure rate didn’t inspire much confidence in completing the surgery, and to add, taking this thankless task could offend the Knox Family.

Hope Williams closed the medical record, “I understand. I’ll submit a surgical plan later on.”

Director Woods’ worried expression brightened up, and he let out a sigh of relief, looking at Hope Williams, “That’s great, but how confident are you?”

Indeed, the surgery had a high mortality rate, was complex, and exceedingly difficult. Also, due to the patient’s health condition, a lengthy surgery could not be sustained, so the operation time had to be controlled within two hours. This was a significant challenge for the lead surgeon—the slightest mistake and the patient’s condition wouldn’t hold out until the surgery was over.

Of course, Hope Williams had already considered all this when she first read the medical record.

“I’ll need to evaluate the patient before I can give you an answer.”

“Alright.”

“Knock, knock.” Two knocks sounded at the door.

Hope Williams glanced at the door with a slight frown. Joy Ward walked in, also looking at her, her eyes holding a challenge that only the two of them would understand.

Hope Williams indifferently withdrew her gaze.

“Director Woods, Doctor Williams is here too.”

“Doctor Ward? Do you need something?”

“Director Woods, I’d like to take on Old Lady Mrs. Knox’s surgery. I’ve already drafted a detailed surgical plan after yesterday’s consultation. Please take a look.” Joy Ward handed her surgical plan to Director Woods.
