She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Quiet and Strange

Liam looked at her sly expression, guessing that she had thought of some clever idea again.

"Alright, let’s go."

Just as Hope and Liam left, Waylon Lewis received the news.

Thomas Hughes said, "Boss, Madam seems to be preparing to return to Emperor Capital."

"Hmm."

Waylon pinched the bridge of his nose, but wasn’t surprised at all. He knew Hope too well. She’s resourceful and far from being obedient.

With Liam by her side, one is restless, the other indulgent.

No way they’d stay put.

He could only let her be.

"Tell Shaw Stone and the other three to protect her well."

"Yes."

...

Regardless, as heaven and earth bear witness, Hope felt she indeed behaved by directly flying back to Emperor Capital.

Sending Luke, Willow, and Baby back to the old Lewis Family estate, Hope went directly to the Knox Family.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox heard Hope was there, only then did she come out of her room, "Little Hope, why are you here?"

Hope noticed Old Lady Mrs. Knox’s poor complexion and frail appearance, and asked with concern, "Grandma Knox, are you feeling unwell?" noveldrama

Old Lady Mrs. Knox waved her hand with an indescribable expression.

The servant attending to the old lady sighed, "There’s been a lot happening at home lately. The old lady has been worried about the young master and Miss Richardson, and Madam has been causing a stir at home because of online issues. The old lady has had a severe headache these past days. Young Madam Lewis, if it wasn’t for hearing that you were coming, she wouldn’t have come out to see anyone else."

Hope felt a tightness in her brow, "Have you consulted a doctor?"

The old lady said, "No need for a doctor, it’s an old ailment. Little Hope, is there something you need from me today?"

Hope looked seriously at Old Lady Mrs. Knox and said, "Grandma Knox, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Tell me, what favor? If I can help, I surely will."

"Only you can help with this."

"Go ahead."

Hope quickly told Old Lady Mrs. Knox about how Alexander had imprisoned Aria on South Island.

Old Lady Mrs. Knox was shocked, obviously unaware of this incident.

"This... why would Alexander do such a thing? Isn’t he pushing Aria further away by doing this?"

The old lady frowned, "Things have escalated to this point. It’s partly my fault—if I had realized earlier how they were, I should have intervened sooner. Now things have come to this... Ah... Little Hope, what do you want me to do?"

"Grandma Knox, I would like you to help me bring Alexander back, no matter what it takes, please just bring him back."

Hope’s clear and pure eyes looked at Old Lady Mrs. Knox, full of sincerity.

Seeing Hope’s earnest expression, Old Lady Mrs. Knox sensed something, "Little Hope, is something about to happen?"

"Grandma Knox, if you can bring Alexander back, nothing will happen, trust me."

Hope continued, "I believe, like me, you also want this matter resolved quickly. Things have spiraled out of control and it’s no longer just a simple emotional issue between the three of them. The public opinion storm on the internet hasn’t settled, and I imagine none of our families have been at peace these days."

The old lady nodded.

Hope was absolutely right.

The matter is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

The Lewis Family, Knox Family, Richardson Family, and even the Armstrong Family, have all been in chaos these days. Who’s had any peace?

This can’t continue any longer.

"Alright, I’ll call Alexander back."

Hope nodded, "Thank you for your understanding."

Since Alexander was on South Island, he hadn’t intended to return immediately, as there was more than one villa on the island.

Alexander sat in the living room of the villa, his handsome face was cold and stern. Oliver Parker, standing beside him, dared only to breathe, not daring to move a muscle.

These days, Alexander was in a bad mood because of Aria and Wyatt Lewis.

Oliver had been by Alexander’s side for quite a while, but it was the first time he had seen him lose his temper repeatedly over one matter.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Alexander asked coldly.

Oliver shivered, his mind racing.

What should he say?

What had he failed to report?

What task had the president assigned him that he hadn’t completed?

In a few short seconds, Oliver replayed the events of the past few days in his mind.

He remembered something worth reporting, took two steps forward, and said, "...President, Mrs. Richardson went to the Lewis Family yesterday."

Alexander frowned, a thoughtful glint flashing in his dark, deep eyes.

Isla had gone to the Lewis Family, likely only to ask for help in finding Aria.

But strangely, she had gone yesterday, and there had been no movement all day.

How could Wyatt Lewis restrain himself from searching for Aria?

Alexander’s eyes narrowed dangerously, too much quietness seemed a bit suspicious.

"Go and add more men, make sure this place is watched closely."

Oliver thought for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that Young Master Lewis’s men will find this place?"

Alexander glanced at him, "Don’t you think it’s been too quiet these past two days?"

If Isla hadn’t informed the Lewis Family about Aria being with him, it could be believed.

But knowing already, they couldn’t have not taken any action.

"Perhaps it’s because our place is well hidden, and Young Master Lewis’s men can’t find it?"

Alexander shook his head thoughtfully, "Don’t forget about Waylon Lewis."

"Our previous investigations showed that President Lewis isn’t often in Emperor Capital because his wife isn’t there either."

"Being away from Emperor Capital doesn’t mean he’s dead. Stop wasting time, go quickly."

Oliver felt Alexander was overthinking it, after all, they had been quite discreet at the time, and with Waylon not in Emperor Capital, it was unlikely he would have time to deal with this. The likelihood of being discovered should be low.

Though he thought so, Oliver still dared not defy Alexander’s orders and executed them immediately.

A ringing phone pulled Alexander’s thoughts back.

Seeing it was the old lady calling, Alexander answered and placed it to his ear.

But on the other end came the anxious voice of a servant, "Young master, the old lady has fainted."

Alexander’s brow furrowed tightly, and in a rush, he couldn’t help but stand up, "How did this happen?"

"There have been many happenings recently. The old lady often has headaches, and with Madam causing disturbances at home, anxiety led her to faint," the servant’s voice was full of urgency and tears.

Natalie Rogers had indeed been causing chaos at home, giving the old lady headaches, which Alexander knew well; it was not a lie.

Alexander looked down at his watch, his face clouded over a bit, and strode out, "Has the doctor arrived?"

"The family doctor is here. The doctor said the old lady’s condition isn’t good, but with neither Mister nor Madam at home, young master, you..." the servant’s voice was filled with worry.

Alexander didn’t hesitate for a moment, "I’ll come back immediately."
