She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 565: I am Your Elder Brother

Hope Williams smiled, "I’m not that temperamental. If I stayed angry, I’d be the first to get depressed. There are just some things I haven’t figured out yet, but let’s leave it at that."

The answers she sought were probably only ones Noah Carter could provide.

Thinking more about it would be superfluous.

Waylon Lewis held Hope Williams, his brows deepened, and he gently kissed her forehead, tenderly saying, "Come on, let’s go have dinner."

"Okay."

After dinner, Hope Williams spent time with Luke and Willow in the living room.

Waylon Lewis went to the study, where Thomas Hughes stood respectfully in front of him.

"Boss, did you need something?"

Waylon Lewis sat in the executive chair, fiddling with an exquisite pen in his hand.

His handsome face was tense as he pondered deeply.

"Go check on Noah Carter."

Thomas Hughes paused, his question slipping out, "Boss, are you suspecting Mr. Carter and your wife..."

He cut himself off halfway, nearly slapping himself.

What was he saying? There’s no way the boss would suspect his wife.

Must be crazy.

Indeed, before he could finish, his boss’s expression darkened a few shades, and Thomas Hughes quickly lowered his head.

"Find out everything about Noah Carter, including his past affairs with Hope Williams’ mother, and leave no stone unturned."

Thomas Hughes dared not ask further. The boss must have his reasons for doing so.

He nodded in agreement, "Yes, I’m on it."

"You may leave now."

...

Luna Williams ran out alone, not returning home. She had nowhere else to go and found a long bench in the park to sit on. She was still wearing her hospital attire with just a knitted jacket outside, shivering incessantly in the cold winter night.

Half an hour later, it was Leo Carter who found her.

Leo Carter looked at the girl huddled on the bench, his eyes filled with anger.

He strode over and said sternly, "What are you doing? Trying to freeze yourself to death?"

Luna Williams’ downcast eyes saw a pair of high-end leather shoes appear in her line of sight, followed by the sound of Leo Carter’s voice tinged with anger and urgency.

Luna Williams looked up to see the face she had been longing for day and night.

It was Leo Carter.

Luna Williams suddenly stood up and threw herself into Leo Carter’s arms, "Brother Leo."

Embracing the familiar warmth, the real touch brought Luna Williams back to life instantly.

Leo Carter was stunned for a moment, stretching out his arms to embrace the icy-cold person, but the next moment, he remembered Noah Carter’s words.

’She is your biological sister!’

Those words shackled him like a curse.

Leo Carter regained his composure, altering his intended embrace to push her away instead.

Luna Williams was pushed away by him, her face already streaked with tears, her fair cheeks reddened from the cold, and her bright, expectant eyes looked up at him. In that moment, Luna seemed as innocently eager to please as a child who could be made to smile with just a candy.

Leo Carter couldn’t bear it, he took off his coat and personally put it on her, then wrapped his grey scarf around her.

The coat still held his warmth and a slight scent of tobacco. Wrapped in its warmth, Luna felt incredibly happy, as all the grievances she felt from being unfairly treated by Jade Bell seemed to evaporate.

"Brother Leo, how did you find me?"

Leo Carter pursed his lips and said quietly, "The old lady called me, saying you had run off by yourself and asked me to look for you.

When you were a child, whenever you were upset, you liked to hide by yourself. The park and the amusement park were your favorite hiding spots, it was always like this, so you weren’t hard to find."

Luna Williams smiled gently, "Yes, but it was always only you, Brother Leo, who found me."

Luna looked at Leo Carter with soft eyes, "Brother Leo, you still came to find me. You still like me, right?"

Leo Carter furrowed his brow, struggling under her gaze for a long time before he said helplessly, "I’ll take you home."

Leo Carter turned and walked ahead on his own.

Luna Williams, unwilling to let it be, quickly ran up and blocked him, forcibly reaching out to hook her arm around his neck, tiptoeing up to kiss him.

Leo Carter’s heart tightened, and he turned his head to dodge.

Luna’s figure stiffened, and she said with disappointment, "Brother Leo, my illness is healed now, won’t you accept me still?"

Leo Carter forcefully removed her hand from his neck, his dark and deep eyes fixed tightly on her, his deeply buried emotions surged up and then re-suppressed.

"Luna, I’ve told you, our situation has nothing to do with your illness."

"Then why won’t you marry me? I don’t believe that after all these years, you don’t love me."

Leo Carter clenched his molars, "Luna, there is no possibility between us, not in this lifetime."

Luna Williams reeled slightly, "...why?... why, Brother Leo? Can you tell me why?"

"There’s no reason, let’s go home."

Luna Williams stubbornly blocked Leo Carter’s way, "No, Brother Leo, you have to tell me why, otherwise you are not leaving today."

Leo Carter took a deep breath, seeing the tears forming in Luna’s eyes, he could not bear it.

After a long silence.

Leo Carter lifted his eyes, as if making a monumental decision.

He said, "Luna, I am your brother."

Luna Williams nodded, "I know, you are Brother Leo, you were born a few days before me, since childhood I have called you Brother Leo, and I still call you that now. Why do you need to remind me of this?"

"Luna! I am your brother, your blood brother, your biological brother! Do you understand?"

Luna Williams was completely stunned, her eyes fixed on Leo Carter.

The surrounding quietness made the wind audible.

A full minute passed, and then Luna choked out a laugh, "Brother Leo... there’s no need for that, if you don’t want to marry me, there’s no need to make up such an absurd lie to reject me."

Leo Carter gripped Luna Williams’s shoulders, his eyes seriously meeting hers, "Luna, I’m not joking with you. I am your biological brother, your half-brother. Do you understand?"

Luna Williams looked at Leo Carter in disbelief, laughing as if hearing an extremely ridiculous joke, waving her hand as she laughed, "Impossible, Brother Leo, stop joking, how could this be possible? If you’re unwilling, then let it be, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. I’m going to go now."

Luna Williams, discomfited, tried to flee, but Leo Carter pulled her back.

"Luna Williams! Look at me!" Leo Carter shouted.

"Don’t say it, it’s impossible." Luna Williams cried out, tears flowing, "How could this be? How could you possibly be my real brother, Leo Carter stop joking, you know, from my childhood I’ve never seen my father, nor my mother, it was just my grandparents who raised me. My grandparents and my current sister are my only blood relatives. Now you suddenly show up to say you’re my real brother, what joke is this?"
