Chapter 980: Not a Foolish Innocent
Doctor Chapman spoke very solemnly, "I know what I need to do now, but is this how the second young lady plans to save my life?"Zoe Lewis laughed, "Of course not, this is just one layer of assurance. I have other plans to save your life. Don’t worry, I’m not just saying this. In the past, whenever I was injured or sick, you were the one who healed me. You never treated me with the dismissiveness that other doctors often did; you were incredibly meticulous even when stitching my wounds."
She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a section of smooth, fair skin, "Look, this is the injury from the year before last. Not a single scar was left thanks to your expert suturing skills and ointments."
Doctor Chapman still remembered the injury from the year before last very clearly.
He didn’t know what had caused it. At the Lewis Family, he never asked unnecessary questions. All he knew was that Zoe Lewis’s arm had been cut by glass, a gash deep enough to expose bone, with tissues open and utterly terrifying.
By the time he arrived, Zoe Lewis was already pale from excessive blood loss.
Feeling compassionate for the young girl, he stitched the wound with extra care and perfection, and secretly gave her some scar removal ointment, instructing her to use it daily.
He hadn’t expected that his small act of kindness would lead to the gratitude she showed him today.
"Doctor Chapman, this is my contact information. You can call me anytime if you need anything. I have a bit of influence and can offer you protection."
Zoe Lewis slipped him a note with a radiant smile, "I still suggest that you protect my sister’s child. As you’ve seen, I might soon have a new brother-in-law who also wants to keep the child. Additionally, if there’s any news from my family that could be detrimental to you, I will inform you at the earliest opportunity."
Whether the child could truly be saved, Zoe Lewis didn’t know. But as long as it could cause trouble for Cherry Lewis and prevent her from having peaceful days, that was enough.
Doctor Chapman always thought Zoe Lewis was the most inconspicuous, least intelligent, and simplest person in the Lewis Family.
Only today did he realize he’d misjudged her. She had been hiding her talents all along; she wasn’t stupid, nor was she an easily manipulated ditzy sweetheart. She simply had her way of ensuring her survival.
Perhaps, precisely because she’d acted weak and useless all these years, she had managed to survive by yielding.
If she’d dared to show even a hint of brilliance, dared to overshadow Cherry Lewis, the matriarch might have crushed her.
Zoe Lewis said everything she needed to say and turned to leave the hospital.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
She couldn’t continue to hide and pretend forever; sometimes, she also needed to take the initiative. Her life had almost been ruined by Cherry Lewis, and now it was her turn to ruin Cherry Lewis’s.
Doctor Chapman returned to his office, and when Cherry Lewis asked about the miscarriage-related issues, he indeed exaggerated the risks of abortion.
"Miss Lewis’s physical condition isn’t very good right now. We just checked your intrauterine situation, and if this pregnancy is terminated, it’s very likely you won’t be able to conceive ever again. You need to think carefully before making a decision."
Doctor Chapman wasn’t exactly fear-mongering; Cherry Lewis’s situation was indeed very bad.
Actually, it was very challenging to keep the child, but if the miscarriage happened and Cherry couldn’t conceive later, he would undoubtedly still be blamed.
So Zoe Lewis’s suggestion was indeed the most worth considering.
The child must be kept.
Cherry Lewis was stunned by this news and couldn’t recover!
Become unable to bear children in the future?
This couldn’t happen!
She needed to have a son to inherit the Lewis Family’s business. She would never allow the Lewis Family’s hundreds of billions of assets to fall into Zoe Lewis’s hands!
"Doctor Chapman, come back to the Lewis Family with me! We need to tell grandmother about this, the child will stay for now!"
