She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Wesley lowered his eyes and saw Lucy Parker watching him intently, leaving him a bit at a loss, "Auntie?"

Joseph Sanders also looked at Lucy Parker, and upon seeing this, reminded her, "Mom? Mom!"

"Huh?" Lucy Parker snapped back to reality, "What is it?"

"Are you alright? Did flowers grow on my face?"

"No, no." Lucy Parker's eyes filled with laughter, "You're here to see Zoey, right? Come, have a seat."

Lucy Parker led him inside.

Joseph Sanders looked at Lucy Parker, somewhat baffled.

Since when did his mom become so enthusiastic with people?

Zoey Sanders raised her head, looking around, but could only see Wesley, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she remained hopeful, "Wesley, your boss…"

Zoey Sanders was just about to ask when she noticed her mother standing nearby, watching intensely.

Seeing Zoey hesitate to speak, Lucy Parker's eyes showed an understanding, and with a knowing smile, she bent down to adjust Zoey's blanket, "Alright, alright, I know you have things to talk about. I'll leave you two to it."

With that, Lucy Parker dragged Joseph Sanders away, "Come with me, don't be an eyesore here."

Joseph Sanders scratched his head, finding Lucy's words a bit odd.

Once the door was shut, Zoey eagerly asked Wesley, "Where's your boss?"

Wesley put down the things he was holding and replied, "Boss went back to Y country a few days ago."

"Went back to Y country a few days ago, then…" Zoey pressed her lips, looking at Wesley with hopeful eyes, "Did he ask you to stay here?"

Wesley thought for a moment, indeed, it was the boss who asked him to stay and keep an eye on things here.

His boss's exact words were: "Let me know if things are alive or dead."

But the boss also instructed him not to say he was told to stay.

Wesley mulled it over, quite troubled, and finally said, "No, I still have tasks here, so I stayed. I heard you woke up, so I came to check in."

"I see." Zoey's expression visibly dimmed.

Wesley suspiciously watched her expression, unsure if he said something wrong, making her unhappy.

"By the way, Miss Sanders, here's your bracelet." Wesley handed over the diamond bracelet he retrieved from the thug's hands.

"Thank you." Zoey took it and placed it on the table beside her.

Wesley couldn't help but comment, seeing Zoey place such a valuable item casually on the table, "Miss Sanders, aren't you afraid of losing such an expensive bracelet?"

"Oh? Not really, it's not worth much."

"Not worth much? Isn't this valued at twenty million?"

The blond guy, who even after being shot by Liam held onto this bracelet tightly, murmuring about twenty million.

Zoey blinked, "I was lying to them."

"So what's the real value of this bracelet?"

"Twenty bucks."

"Twenty bucks?" Wesley was utterly shocked.

Zoey nodded, speaking softly, "Yes, I bought it from a teenage girl who set up a stall at night. I ended up buying all her jewelry. I kept this one on because it looked nice, then forgot to take it off. She even complimented me for being kind."

Wesley's mouth twitched, his eyes about to pop out, "Really?"

So this twenty-dollar diamond bracelet saved her life by causing infighting among the four kidnappers.

"What are you so surprised about? I wouldn't wear two million accessories to a horse track. If I lost it, it'd be a waste of hard-earned money, it didn't just fall from the sky."

Zoey picked up the bracelet, stroking it, "But I didn't expect this bracelet would really save my life."

"True." Wesley, after so many years as an assassin, hadn't expected this kind of twist.

"Good deeds do bring rewards."

Zoey smiled lightly, "Thank you."

...

Lucy Parker dragged Joseph Sanders outside, peering in, and couldn't help asking, "That Wesley, do you know him well?"

Joseph felt baffled by his mom's behavior, "Somewhat, why?"

"What's he like? His conduct, no bad habits?"

"I'm not too familiar, he seems nice, as for bad habits…"

"Why are you asking? Interested in him?"

Lucy Parker glared at him, nearly wanting to smack him, "Are you looking for a beating?"

Joseph smirked.

"It's your sister who likes him, I have to vet him for her."

Joseph was startled, his smile fading, "What did you say?"

"Your sister likes him, I have to vet him for her."

"..." Having heard what Lucy said, Joseph was speechless.

What gave her that impression?

"Aunt Parker, Young Master Sanders, why are you standing outside?" Aria Richardson arrived to visit Zoey, seeing the two standing outside curiously glanced inside.

Lucy pulled Aria closer, "Zoey's crush is visiting her, they're chatting inside, best not to interrupt."

"Zoey has a crush?" Aria looked inside again.

Lucy's smile deepened, "Yes, a very nice-looking guy, Joseph says he's a good person."

Joseph's parents had always indulged Zoey since she was young, never stopping her from anything she liked.

Now that their precious daughter had a crush, Matriarch Sanders was naturally pleased.

"Mom, that's not her crush, you misunderstood."

"Misunderstood what? I clearly saw her almost leap up with excitement upon hearing his name. I've never seen her show such excitement and anticipation towards anyone."

Joseph felt the misunderstanding just got bigger.

Wesley didn't stay long, saying what he needed before leaving.

As he opened the door and saw the crowd, Wesley was stunned, and those at the door were stunned too.

"Wesley?" Aria's eyes widened, her expression mirrored Joseph's.

Wesley didn't understand why they were looking at him so strangely, he subconsciously touched his face, making sure nothing was there.

Lucy spoke, "Leaving already?"

"Yes, I have things to do, I won't disturb further."

"It's not a disturbance, Zoey likes you visiting her, come more often if you can."

"Huh?"

What does this mean?

Joseph patted Wesley's shoulder, sighing helplessly, "Mom, you really misunderstood, I'll talk to you later, let me escort him out first."

Wesley was still confused, giving a slight nod to others before leaving with Joseph.

"Sorry, my mom's misunderstood something, don't mind it."

Wesley was still baffled, unclear what was going on, "Young Master Sanders, it's not a big deal."

"Will your boss come back to Emperor Capital?" Joseph recalled Zoey's hopeful eyes, he couldn't help asking.

"Hard to say, depends on him. Do you have business with him?"

Zoey was just inquiring about his boss.

Now Joseph was asking too.

Joseph remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "No, just asking."

Wesley nodded, as he left the hospital, he called Liam Cloud, "Hey, boss."

"Yeah." Came the man's husky voice on the other end.

"Miss Sanders is fine, she just needs to recover gradually." Wesley reported.

"Alright."

"Boss." Just as Liam was about to hang up, Wesley quickly added, "Are you sure you don't want to see Miss Sanders? She looked very disappointed when you didn't show today."
