Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Going to the Civil Affairs Bureau
Chapter 192 -192 Going to the Civil Affairs Bureau
Hope Williams glanced at Ellie Field’s expression and smirked with disdain, “You really want me to go, so I’ll go.”
Hope Williams, “Send me the address.”
Ellie Field bit her lip hard. This bitch is really going?
“This is a welcome banquet everyone prepared to welcome me,” I’m the main character here, aren’t you really upset about it?
Once again, Hope Williams smiled lightly, her demeanor calm and serene, “Oh, I’ll come to welcome you too.”
Seeing Hope Williams’s nonchalant attitude, Ellie Field felt like she was punching cotton.
Just then, Aurora Wood walked over, took Hope Williams’s hand, and immediately said, “Hope, tonight the department is throwing a welcome party for Dr. Cynthia, everyone’s going. You’re off duty today, so you should come along too.”
Hope Williams glanced at Ellie Field, who was grinding her teeth, “Sure, naturally, I have to attend Dr. Cynthia’s welcome banquet.”
Ellie Field detected deep sarcasm in her words.
“Dr. Cynthia, why do you look so upset? You don’t mind me going, do you?” Hope Williams asked casually.
Aurora Wood looked dubiously at Ellie Field, who remained silent.
At this point, a few colleagues came out to invite them to the reserved private room.
Seeing the three of them in a standoff, they also stopped and watched.
With others around, Ellie Field had to maintain her image of kindness and charm, and immediately forced a smile, “How could that be? I only felt that Dr. Williams didn’t talk to me all day today. I’m afraid Dr. Williams might not like me, like she’s targeting me?”
Indeed, everyone had been very warm to Ellie Field all day, except Hope Williams, who hadn’t even glanced at her.
If you were to say there was targeting, it might be possible.
Perhaps it was because of the department head issue.
Now that Cynthia has arrived, Hope Williams’s department head position might just fly away.
Everyone knew this, but it was an unspoken understanding.
Hope Williams must be displeased inside.
Ellie Field’s words were deliberately thought-provoking.
Thinking of this, everyone felt that Hope Williams was being petty.
Even if Cynthia was only a figurehead at the hospital, her presence would help the hospital prosper.
Giving her the department head position was beyond reproach, how could Hope Williams target Cynthia when she was outmatched?
Seeing this, Aurora Wood immediately said, “Dr. Cynthia, you are misunderstanding our Dr. Williams. She is the kindest person, always helping people in our department and treating patients very well. She wouldn’t deliberately target anyone without reason.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Having worked together for so long, it was clear that Hope Williams focused all her attention on the patients. Although she might come across as cool, as long as you didn’t provoke her, she was very friendly to everyone.
Moreover, Hope Williams was not the kind of person who cared about position. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to make a wager with Vice Chancellor Wood and Elder Murphy; the department head position would’ve already been hers.
Thud, thud, thud…
The sound of high-end leather shoe soles hitting the ground step by step reached everyone’s ears.
All eyes turned to see a man dressed in a pure black suit, with exquisite eyebrows, a straight nose, and deep, inky eyes, his perfectly chiseled handsome features like a deity descended from heaven.
Everyone gazed silently at the man; such a uniquely handsome man was hard for anyone to look away from, and his mature, steady, and indifferent demeanor naturally made people’s hearts race, irresistibly enchanting.
While everyone was still immersed in the visual feast, a figure flashed by.
As the woman briskly walked towards the man, he had already stretched out his hands to protect her from either side, as if fearing she might fall. She joyfully rushed into his embrace, and he cooperated by wrapping his arms around her waist.
“Why are you here?”
Hope Williams’s voice was tender and soft, her petite figure nestling in the man’s arms, slightly tipping her head back, wearing a blissfully sweet smile—as if embodying the happiest woman in the world.
“I figured you must be missing me by now, so here I am.”
Hope Williams huffed unconvincingly, “Not at all, it must be you who’s been missing me.”
“Only my wife could be so clever.”
Pleasure oozed from Waylon Lewis’s voice.
Thomas Hughes nearby nearly died from the sugary sweetness of the couple.
“Let’s go home. What would you like for dinner? I’ll cook it for you.”
Waylon Lewis leaned closer to her ear, his dark eyes twinkling with teasing.
“Can I have you?”
Hope Williams’s ears turned red.
Waylon Lewis’s lips curved into a smile, and he leaned towards Hope Williams’s lips.
Hope Williams quickly turned her head aside, pushing on his chest, “Enough, Waylon Lewis, there are so many people watching… stop it…”
“We’ll continue at home.”
Since last night, he seemed to have lifted some sort of seal, becoming increasingly shameless.

Everyone shivered, and then they suddenly realized, covering their mouths but not daring to scream out loud.
So, this incredibly handsome man was Hope Williams’s husband.
Was the woman just now, who was tender and affectionate in the man’s arms—whining, making a fuss and acting shy—really the usually stern and indifferent Doctor Williams?
Aurora Wood paused for a moment and then let out a light laugh.
She was used to seeing Hope Williams’s cold demeanor, but this was the way a woman should be.
Ellie Field’s teeth were almost ground to dust.
A wave of endless jealousy surged up, threatening to drown all her rationality.
Aurora Wood turned her head to speak to Ellie Field, but hesitated upon seeing the latter’s glare, which was so fierce it gave her quite a shock.
Ellie Field, realizing she was being watched, immediately withdrew her gaze.
Aurora Wood pursed her lips, barely able to resist praising Cynthia’s ability to change her expression.
“If Hope isn’t going, then I won’t go either, Doctor Cynthia, I still welcome you, though. Enjoy your meal and have fun; I’m going to head off first.”
After the exchange of words just now, Aurora Wood could still tell who was targeting whom.
She admired Cynthia.
But, Hope Williams was her most important friend. Hope Williams had helped her so much, guided her through surgeries, guarded her work, taught her skills, and enabled her to become a lead surgeon in a short period of time. She kept this kindness in mind at all times, how could she allow others to slander her deliberately.
Waylon Lewis had Thomas Hughes drive Hope Williams’s car back, while he drove personally.
“Where are you going?” Hope Williams noticed that this was not the way home.
“The Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Hope Williams gave a resigned smile, “Why the rush? I’m not going to run away.”
“Many things can happen overnight.”
…
At the entrance to the Civil Affairs Bureau…
Faced with the closed doors, Hope Williams looked at Waylon Lewis’s sullen expression, she couldn’t bear it, but still laughed.
“They’ve already finished work for the day, what can you do?”
Waylon Lewis’s face was brimming with reluctance.
It was as if the Traveler had finally overcome eighty-one trials to reach the Buddha Ancestor, only to be given yet another challenging task.
“Let’s come back tomorrow then, I won’t run off,” said Hope Williams, wrapping Waylon Lewis’s hand in hers with an air of resignation.
Eventually, after both tender and firm persuasion from Hope Williams, Waylon Lewis reluctantly gave up the idea of having someone called in to register their remarriage.
“Let’s go pick up Luke and Willow. It’s weird not having the two little ones by my side,” Hope Williams suggested, which was met with another dark look from Waylon Lewis.
He had finally managed some alone time with his wife, only to have it potentially disrupted by the two kids.
When they got back to the Lewis Family home, it was just in time for dinner.
“Brother Waylon, Miss Williams.” Vivia Fuller stood up and greeted the pair amiably.
Hope Williams smiled politely in response, “Miss Fuller is here too.”
“Daddy, Mommy, you’re finally back. I thought Mommy didn’t want us anymore,” Luke said with a pitiful face, while Willow’s chubby face also looked heartbreakingly sad.
Hope Williams’s heart melted into a mess, “How could I not want my treasures? Mommy’s here now, isn’t she?”
“If you two didn’t come back, Luke and Willow would have turned into widow’s crags. It’s romantic of both of you, but look at these two,” Alitzel Williams chastised.
“They need to learn to be independent.”
His wife could only belong to him.
“Be independent? Luke and Willow are still so young,” Alitzel Williams said, doting on the children, particularly Willow, who was reluctant to speak.
As everyone sat down at the dining table, Alitzel Williams pulled Hope Williams aside to talk. Waylon Lewis was a stubborn man; she needed to have a proper conversation with Hope Williams.
Vivia Fuller’s eyes shifted, and seeing the empty seat next to Waylon Lewis, she quietly moved to sit down.
“Brother Waylon, there are some issues with the Z-City project I would like to discuss with you later.”
Waylon Lewis looked up to see Vivia Fuller sitting next to him, and the coldness in his eyes instantly dispersed.
Alitzel Williams and Hope Williams, chatting with each other, walked over.
Seeing this, Hope Williams’s eyes cooled noticeably.
Noticing the strange atmosphere, Alitzel Williams smiled and walked up, “Vivia, come sit with Auntie, I have a few words I’d like to say to you.”
Before Vivia Fuller could protest, Alitzel Williams had already pulled her up from her seat and covertly signaled Hope Williams with her eyes.
Seeing this, Hope Williams slightly raised her eyebrows in response.
