Chapter 486: Chapter 486: It’s the Williams Family

Waylon Lewis now only cared about Hope Williams’ emotions, directly picking her up and carrying her back to the room.

Once in the bedroom, Waylon Lewis placed Hope Williams on the sofa. Hope Williams grabbed Waylon’s hand as she had noticed the back of his hand was injured, with several scratch marks.

“Your hand is injured.”

Waylon Lewis glanced at his hand, unconcerned.

“Did you just go to… the Williams Family?” Hope Williams tentatively asked.

This was the only possibility she could guess.

Waylon Lewis, “Hmm.”

Hope Williams didn’t speak; she could already guess what had probably happened. This man either went to beat Maverick Williams up or to beat Luna Williams up.

The injury was likely because of that.

Hope Williams stood up and upon seeing this, Waylon Lewis asked, “Where are you going?”

“To find the first aid kit. Your wound needs treating.”

“No need, it’s just a minor injury.” Waylon Lewis pulled Hope Williams back to sit on the sofa, and his gloomy expression did not brighten.

He was still shaken. If he hadn’t arranged for bodyguards, or if he had returned a few minutes late, who knows what might have happened.

When he saw Hope Williams, with red eyes, opening the door, his heart was pricked sharply, yet he also felt relieved that she was fine.

Waylon Lewis gently stroked her soft hair with his hand, “I won’t let them go.”

He would not let go of anyone who hurt her.

Hope Williams pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, “Do you think it was Maverick Williams’ doing?”

Waylon Lewis furrowed his brows, his first thought was also Maverick Williams.

But then he thought again, today at the Williams family, there was another force involved. Although employed by the Williams family, these mercenaries had a different agenda.

So it was also possible that they were responsible.

Hope Williams suddenly remembered what Liam Cloud had said to her at the Williams family home, she raised her head to ask, “What did Liam Cloud mean when he said if it was his people, he would give us an explanation?”

Hope Williams looked at Waylon Lewis, her expression full of worry.

Waylon Lewis sighed and replied, “The Williams family hired mercenaries, and those people are probably from his organization.”

Upon hearing this, Hope Williams was first stunned, then fell silent, repeatedly recalling the details of that time in her mind.

Those who had attacked them ruthlessly did not seem like the Family Guard.

Hope Williams furrowed her brows, murmured, “Those people were exceptionally skilled, not the kind of people a common organization could train.”

“Hmm, and when Liam Cloud appeared, those people ran away.”

Probably due to an instinctual fear of him, guessing they were afraid of being discovered.

Hope Williams couldn’t help but change her expression, “But why would Liam Cloud’s people have a problem with me?”

“It’s not clear yet.” That would depend on Liam Cloud’s handling of the situation.

Xiao Shi gently knocked on the door from outside.

“Come in.”

Xiao Shi stood at the door and reported, “Boss, they’ve confessed.”

Xiao Shi was expressionless, his voice tight and serious, as if still carrying a whiff of the scent of blood.

Waylon Lewis had given him one hour, but it had not even been fifteen minutes, and Xiao Shi had already made those two confess.

It was evident that he had resorted to methods.

Waylon Lewis spoke in a cold, hard voice, “Speak.”

Xiao Shi, “The Williams family, Maverick Williams.”

Hope Williams looked at Xiao Shi, and when she heard the result with her own ears, she was slightly stunned, her fingers that were relaxed a moment ago now clenched instantly.

It really was him!

He wanted to exterminate her because she was unwilling to save Luna Williams?

Waylon Lewis felt Hope Williams’ suppressed emotions; her teeth were tightly clenched, then loosened, and soon after she sighed, as if she had come to some acceptance.

Waylon Lewis’s gaze tightly followed her, holding her hand as if to offer comfort.

Hope Williams shook her head, “Don’t comfort me.”

She needed no comfort.

There had been no relationship to begin with; his viciousness against her was to be expected.

And for a person like Maverick Williams, who was so unscrupulous, such actions were not surprising.

“What do you want to do?” Waylon Lewis looked down at her.

Hope Williams felt somewhat weary.

She didn’t want to think about anything right now.

“Waylon Lewis, let’s go back to Emperor Capital tomorrow. I don’t want to cause a scene with them anymore.”

Waylon Lewis nodded; he just wanted his woman to be a little happier right now, whatever she wanted was fine.

The rest he would handle.

The next day.

Hope Williams had not slept well the previous night, constantly having nightmares and waking up again and again. Waylon Lewis stayed by her side, gently soothing her.

A little after seven, the door was quietly opened, and two little heads peeked in.

Without looking, Waylon Lewis knew it was the two little ones who had arrived. He raised his hand to signal them to be quieter.

The two little ones tiptoed in quietly, and because there was thick carpet on the floor, there was hardly any noise. Seeing Waylon’s poor complexion, the two little ones blinked their round eyes at him, as if asking.

“Mommy just fell asleep for a bit, don’t wake her.”

Waylon Lewis kept his voice very low.

Luke and Willow were exceptionally obedient, nodding quietly and lying quietly by the bed, joining Waylon Lewis in watching over Hope Williams.

But in the quiet of the room, suddenly a ringtone burst out jarringly.

Waylon Lewis frowned, moved quickly to hang up the phone.

But the woman sleeping restlessly in his arms was woken up regardless.

Hope Williams opened her eyes in confusion, only to see three pairs of eyes staring at her anxiously.

Hope Williams blinked, “What are you doing?”

Waylon Lewis pressed Hope’s head back into his chest, “Nothing, go back to sleep.”

“…But I just heard a phone ring.”

“You heard wrong, go back to sleep, be good.”

Waylon Lewis gently patted her back, as if pacifying a child.

Just as Hope Williams was about to give in to Waylon Lewis and continue sleeping, the phone rang again.

Waylon Lewis’s face darkened a few shades.

Hope Williams stubbornly lifted her head, “My phone, where’s my phone?”

Waylon Lewis sighed, seeing that she was now completely alert, he resented the person calling to the point of gritting his teeth.

Eventually, Waylon Lewis still passed the phone to Hope Williams. Hope Williams glanced at the number on the screen, her eyes flickering.

“Grandma.”

“Little Hope.”

“What’s the matter?” Hope Williams shifted in Waylon Lewis’s arms.

“Little Hope, can you come to the hospital?” Jade Bell said this with Maverick Williams’s angry voice mixing in the background.

“Tell her to come to me immediately.”

“Little Hope, regarding last night’s incident…” Jade Bell hesitated, seemingly caught between two sides.

Hope Williams’s eyes darkened, she exhaled, “Alright, there are some things I need to settle anyway.”
