She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 539 Two Clear

Everyone was stunned by the scene, those three gunshots had been completely unexpected.

Waylon Lewis and Liam Cloud rushed towards Hope Williams almost at the same time, with Waylon getting there a step faster to catch the falling woman into his arms.

"Hope Williams."

As her limp body fell into his arms, Waylon Lewis tightened his grip, only to smell the strong scent of blood. Raising his hand, he saw it smeared with a large stain of blood from the woman’s arm.

Waylon’s pupils constricted as his heart shattered in an instant, his face wishing he could kill everyone present.

Liam Cloud’s expression was equally icy cold.

Wesley Ruiz covered his bleeding arm, his heart filled with shock. When he had fired at Hope, the shot went astray because his arm had been hit, and therefore missed her.

"You’ve got some nerve, Wesley Ruiz! Who gave you permission to touch her?" Liam Cloud’s face was terrifying as he gritted his teeth, lifting his gun.

"Bang bang." He fired two more shots at Wesley Ruiz.

Wesley’s knees were hit, and the piercing pain forced him to kneel instantly.

"Big Boss!" Wesley Ruiz exclaimed in shock.

The rage on Liam Cloud’s face encompassed the sky, causing everyone present to lower their heads as they inwardly cursed the situation.

Waylon Lewis picked the woman up, his gaze ice-cold as he scanned the crowd, committing every face to memory.

Waylon held Hope and turned around, leaving quickly without a word.

Hope Williams needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Liam Cloud’s deep eyes scanned the direction they had left, then slowly withdrew his gaze to rest on Wesley Ruiz, raising the gun again, the dark muzzle pressed against his forehead, "Why did you try to kill Hope Williams?"

Leo Ruiz rushed forward in a dash, kneeling on one knee before Liam Cloud, "Big Boss..."

"Shut up!"

Wesley Ruiz gritted his teeth in pain, biting down, "Her fault my daughter died, left you obsessed and staying in Emperor Capital, even neglecting the organization. Doesn’t she deserve to die?"

"You’ve got the nerve to justify yourself!" The man’s face was filled with murderous intent.

Wesley Ruiz hung his head, "Does my daughter deserve to die then?"

"It was I who sent Aaron Ruiz to protect her. By that logic, the one who should die is me! Why don’t you come and kill me, why touch her? Huh?"

Wesley Ruiz bit his teeth, "I wouldn’t dare!"

"Not dare? I think you dare a lot, even daring to touch someone I’m protecting." Liam Cloud’s gaze was sharp as an ice blade.

The people around were all shuddering, heads bowed low.

"Big Boss, my father’s lost his mind, but please, for the sake of our past relations, spare his life, I beg you..." Wesley Ruiz pressed his head down hard.

Wesley Ruiz let out a cold laugh, shaking his head continuously, "Ah Cloud, look what you’ve become. For a woman, you’ve lost all reason. She’ll be the death of you."

"If a woman can destroy me, then maybe I should let you take my place?"

"That’s not what I mean. More words are useless, I know you won’t let me go; just kill me if you’re going to." Wesley Ruiz closed his eyes, seemingly reconciled with the coming of death.

"Big Boss..."

The murderous intent on Liam Cloud’s face spread.

Dead silence swept through the area, as a coldness filled the air.

Wesley’s subordinates were by his side, but at this moment no one dared plead for him.

Just then, the sound of a phone ringing broke the silence, Liam Cloud picked up the call expressionlessly.

A weak and hoarse female voice came through.

"Liam Cloud... let him go. I owe the Ruiz Family a life, I’m repaying it today."

Liam Cloud’s gaze swept over Wesley Ruiz, white as a sheet, eyes tightly shut in wait for death’s embrace.

"Sure?"

"Mm."

After hanging up the call, Liam Cloud suppressed the intense murderous intent in his eyes and coldly said, "Hope Williams pleaded for you. She says she owed Aaron Ruiz a life, which she’s now repaid. We’re even from now on."

The moment Liam Cloud’s words fell, Wesley Ruiz was stunned, releasing the breath he had been holding with force and opening his eyes in disbelief, "She pleaded for me?"

"Mm." Liam Cloud fixed his stare on him, "Your life was saved with your daughter’s life. From now on, get lost and never let me see you again in this lifetime."

Liam Cloud’s gaze swept towards those who followed Wesley Ruiz as his henchmen and said coldly, "As for you, all of you get lost and go back to receive your punishment."

"And you, take double the punishment."

Wesley Ruiz immediately nodded, "Yes."

As long as he could save Wesley Ruiz’s life, he would be willing to take tenfold the punishment. Deep in his heart, he was immensely grateful to Hope Williams and, at the same time, worried about her injury.

Because the bullets used by their organization had greater lethality than regular bullets, fortunately, it hit the shoulder, otherwise, Hope Williams would be dead by now.

At this moment, Wesley Ruiz couldn’t say anything, hanging his head low, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

After a long time, he raised his head as if relieved of a weight, let out a heavy sigh and slowly said, "Okay, we’re even."

Thomas Hughes drove the car, racing towards the hospital, his foot never dared to leave the accelerator.

Hope Williams’ eyelids felt heavy as she weakly leaned in Waylon Lewis’s arms.

"Don’t sleep, Hope... hang in there, we’ll be at the hospital soon..." Waylon Lewis’s voice trembled, his hand covering her shoulder wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding, his eyes bloodshot and hollow.

Hope Williams’s face was incredibly haggard and pale, she struggled to lift her hand lightly brushing over Waylon Lewis’s face.

With a faint smile, she said, "Don’t be afraid, Waylon, I should... probably won’t die, it’s okay... Look, I can still give you a smile."

Hope Williams forced a smile, but no matter how it looked, it wasn’t pretty.

Waylon Lewis bowed his head, his forehead against Hope Williams’s forehead, a tear inadvertently rolled down his closed eyes, falling on Hope Williams’s cheek.

"Fool."

Seeing Hope Williams like this, Waylon Lewis felt even more distressed. It was her who was injured, yet she was the one worrying that he would be afraid of her dying, comforting him instead.

How could his girl be so wonderful.

...

Hospital.

Luna Williams held her phone, still confidently waiting for good news.

She even had Maverick Williams find a doctor to arrange an operating room for her in advance.

As soon as they bring Hope Williams over, they would start the surgery.

She would be saved; she wouldn’t have to die.

Maverick Williams looked at Luna Williams, who seemed delirious, utterly unsure of what to say.

Ted Williams frowned, lifted his hand to glance at his watch; it was already this late, but there was still no news from the other side.

He thought, could something unexpected have happened?

Otherwise, it’s impossible that there was no news at this point.

As Ted Williams was thinking this, the Carter father and son appeared at the door of the hospital room.

"Elder Williams."

Seeing the Carter father and son, Maverick Williams’s expression softened slightly, nodding in acknowledgement.

"Brother Leo." Luna Williams brightened upon seeing Leo Carter, her smile blooming, "You’re finally willing to come see me."

Noah Carter gave a signal to Leo Carter, "Go on."

Leo Carter had no choice but to walk towards Luna Williams, knowing that she was about to die; the two families were to be joined by marriage, and it would be improper not to visit her now and risk criticism later.

As soon as Leo Carter approached, Luna Williams leaned in to hug his waist, her face full of joy.

"Brother Leo, you’ve finally come to see me. Don’t worry, I don’t have to die now. I’ve found a bone marrow that can be transplanted, and I can have surgery soon. Once I’m well, I can marry Brother Leo. I will be the most beautiful bride, Brother Leo, I’m so looking forward to our wedding."

Leo Carter’s frown deepened, he looked back at Maverick Williams with a questioning expression.

Maverick Williams knitted his brows, his face expressing resign. He said nothing.

The atmosphere in the hospital room was strange, and it seemed that only Luna Williams was in good spirits.

"Why are you all not talking?" Luna Williams blinked innocently.

Leo Carter stretched out his hand to peel off Luna Williams’s arms wrapped around his waist.

Luna Williams blinked pitifully. Although she was gaunt and her complexion was pallid, her delicate features still revealed her beauty.

Leo Carter sighed, chose his words carefully, and spoke, "Luna, I came here today... to call off our engagement."
