She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 280: An Accident

"No reason, let’s go!" Liam Cloud’s voice was firm, beyond challenge.

Hope Williams furrowed her brows, looking at him worriedly, "Let’s treat your wounds first, then I’ll leave. Now that I’m here, I can’t escape being involved anymore. It’s too late to leave."

Liam Cloud was angry precisely because he knew this. Her coming here meant she couldn’t break free from the connection.

In the end, he had dragged her into this.

Liam Cloud clenched his molars fiercely, "You’ve always been smart. At times like these, you should know you shouldn’t have come."

"I’m not that heartless—to know yet merely watch you die from severe injuries." Hope Williams withdrew her hand and set down the medical kit.

"Sit down." Hope Williams’s tone carried a hint of command as she gestured for Liam Cloud to sit back on the couch.

Liam Cloud bit his molar tightly, expressionless, but still sat down in the chair. Hope Williams took out disinfectant and cotton from the medical kit.

She furrowed her brows, lifting his blood-stained shirt to reveal a horrid red scene. A cut on his right abdomen had been treated, but poorly, bleeding continuously, a bloody mess.

There were also cuts on his arms, face, and neck.

Hope’s clear black-and-white eyes were filled with shock, even worse than she had imagined.

How tragic! Too tragic!

Having known this man for many years, even though he often got injured, she had never seen him in such a wretched state.

Hope Williams’s eyes reddened, her lips tight, unable to speak for a long while.

Seeing her frightened, Liam Cloud raised his hand to pull down his shirt, his eyes carrying self-reproach and pity, "It doesn’t hurt, stop treating it. I won’t die."

It seemed all too familiar to him, his tone as casual as if it were the most ordinary thing.

"Do you realize how serious your injuries are?" Hope Williams lowered her gaze, her voice deep.

It was rare for Liam Cloud to hear such a tone from Hope Williams. He looked up at her, the man who had been furious just moments before was now somewhat calmer. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Hope Williams raised her hand, snatched the cigarette from his mouth, and crushed it in the ashtray.

Liam Cloud was taken aback.

"Why are you smoking?"

"..."

"Sit properly."

Liam Cloud raised an eyebrow, not knowing when the fierce aura on him had faded, now sitting upright unconsciously watching her.

Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz couldn’t help but click their tongues.

This obedient demeanor, so different from his usual ferocious attitude towards them, was like night and day.

Indeed, what could tame Liam Cloud had to be Hope Williams.

Ignoring everything else, Hope Williams skillfully started treating him with cotton.

Liam Cloud smiled slightly, watching Hope Williams cooperate as she finished treating his wounds.

Waylon Lewis’s hospital room.

"Big Boss, there’s been trouble with Liam Cloud."

Waylon Lewis stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his cold eyes narrowing slightly, "Who did it?"

"Still investigating. Besides, I’ve received a report. Madam has gone to find Liam Cloud." After speaking, Thomas Hughes bowed his head sharply.

A cold wind blew over, and Thomas Hughes lowered his jaw, sensing the premonition of a bloodbath.

Waylon Lewis said nothing and immediately picked up his coat and walked out briskly.

Thomas Hughes did not dare to delay another second.

Hope Williams quickly finished treating him, looking at the pile of blood bandages on the table; she still worried that this guy, after so long, might lose too much blood.

But seeing his normal expression and complexion, Hope Williams breathed a sigh of relief, packed the medicine kit, and turned to him, "I need to ask you something."

Liam Cloud looked up at her, "Ask."

"Did you really kill the third young master of the Lewis family?" Hope Williams’s clear eyes were earnest as she stared at Liam Cloud.

Liam Cloud’s gaze darkened, stormy and dangerously swirling in his eyes.

Hope Williams noticed every shift in Liam Cloud’s emotions.

"Liam Cloud, I need an answer from you."

Liam Cloud frowned, "If I say it, will you believe me?"

"Yes."

Liam Cloud fell silent for half a second, his eyes and brows unmoved, his thin lips lightly uttered a few words, "No."

His eyes and brows looked indifferent, "I have no grudges against him, why would I kill him for no reason?"

Hope Williams’ eyes flashed with understanding; she had always known Liam Cloud was ruthless, but not a bad person.

Others don’t provoke him, and he doesn’t bother them.

"Mmm, I understand now."

"Do you believe me?"

"Initially, I just guessed it wasn’t you, but now I’m sure, it wasn’t you."

A hard-to-hide light flickered in Liam Cloud’s eyes.

Hope Williams frowned, "But why are the Lewis Family so sure it was you?"

"They have a problem in their head; at that time..."

"Bang!"

A piercing gunshot rang out.

Liam Cloud immediately turned around, a killing intent flashed in his cold eyes, as he pulled Hope Williams behind him, the other hand quickly reached for his handgun, poised for battle.

Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz were also on high alert, drew their guns, and immediately went into combat mode.

Someone quickly entered from the outside, "Big Boss, the Lewis Family’s people are coming after us."

Liam Cloud’s eyes surged with ferocity, "Seeking death."

He turned back to Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz, his voice cold, "Take the back door, take more people to ensure she gets out safely."

"What about you?" Hope Williams was anxious, these people were coming for him, and he directed his men to protect her as she left; what about him?

What would he do?

"If it’s really the Lewis Family’s people, they wouldn’t dare do anything to me; instead, it’s you. You go, I’ll hold them off."

Yes, if it were truly the Lewis Family’s people, Liam Cloud knew they wouldn’t do anything to Hope Williams.

But he was afraid that these people weren’t from the Lewis Family at all.

After so many years of dealing with the Lewis Family, the behavior of this group was clearly different from that of the Lewis family.

Although it was just his speculation and still not certain, he was worried about the if’s. He wouldn’t allow her to face even the slightest possibility of danger.

"Be obedient, leave first; I will come to find you later."

Hope Williams frowned, her lips tightly pursed; she didn’t know why, but she had a very bad feeling.

His reassuring words were no use to her.

"Take her away," Liam Cloud pushed Hope Williams to Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz.

"Big boss!" Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz looked at Liam Cloud earnestly, "We will stay and fight with you."

Liam Cloud gave a cold smirk, "Don’t act like it’s a life-or-death goodbye; I am not going to die. You guys make sure to keep her safe."

After saying that, Liam Cloud glanced at Hope Williams, saying nothing.

But that look, Hope Williams incredibly saw a hint of longing in his eyes.

It was as if it was a longing for a final glance.

Hope Williams felt a sharp pain in her heart, her bad premonition growing stronger.

"Let me go, you block him, don’t let him go."

Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz had to obey Liam Cloud’s orders to ensure Hope Williams’s safety. "Sister Hope, we must take you away now."

The gunfire outside became more piercing and frequent.

Wesley Ruiz and Aaron Ruiz both understood, with enemy numbers far exceeding theirs by ten times, even Liam Cloud would find it hard to escape, especially since he was also severely injured.

"You have to help him! Go help him!"

Hope Williams’s eyes were red, but the two insisted on pulling her away.

"Waylon Lewis is leading men here!" someone shouted.

Though not very clear, Hope Williams still reacted.

Waylon Lewis had come!

Hope Williams’s pupils contracted, she stood frozen, not moving.
