She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor
Chapter 625: Birds of a Feather

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Birds of a Feather

Luna’s heart skipped a beat; her whole body froze on the spot, not daring to breathe.

"It’s cousin Luna, isn’t it?" Harry immediately followed up as he noticed the change in her demeanor, staring intently at Jade and refusing to miss any nuances in her expression.

Luna gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and pushed Harry aside. "Harry, what are you doing? Grandma just woke up! The doctors said she’s sick, yet you’re still forcing her to think about all kinds of things! Doesn’t she need some rest?"

Harry grabbed Luna’s wrist. "Cousin Luna, what are you so guilty about?"

Luna bit her lower lip, her brows furrowed tightly. "Guilty? For what? I’m only thinking about Grandma’s well-being. Why can’t this wait until she’s recovered?"

"You were the one who insisted earlier that it was Cousin Hope who pushed Grandma. You and Cousin Hope have always been at odds. If it were really Cousin Hope who did it, shouldn’t you, of all people, be the most eager for Grandma to speak the truth? But now you’re adamantly claiming you care about her health, blocking any attempts for clarity. Cousin Luna, forgive me for saying this, but your guilt is shining through far too obviously."

"Ridiculous! Wanting Grandma to rest more—is that such a sin?"

"You really—"

"Enough!" Ted’s cold voice cut through, silencing them. "Why are you arguing? Grandma just woke up. She does need rest! Harry, keep this up and I’ll send you home!"

"Brother!" Harry frowned, glancing back and forth between Luna and Ted, his anger rising—after all, those two had always been in cahoots. He hissed furiously, "Birds of a feather!"

"What are you all arguing about? Don’t argue, don’t argue!"

Jade suddenly became agitated and frantic, vehemently trying to stop them.

"Grandma, we’re not arguing. I just want to understand the truth—so Cousin Hope won’t be falsely accused again."

Jade’s gaze slowly drifted away from Luna, turning toward Hope and pausing for a few seconds. Then she shifted her sight to Ted, finally settling on Harry.

"Grandma, it’s cousin Luna, isn’t it?" Harry pressed, refusing to give up as he looked at Jade.

Luna’s body turned ice-cold; she trembled slightly.

A prolonged silence fell over the room...

Jade shook her head absently, her voice tinged with confusion. "I don’t know what you’re talking about. I... don’t remember clearly."

As soon as those words came out, Luna’s tightly clenched fists relaxed, and she exhaled a breath of relief.

So good... so good!

"Grandma, you really don’t remember?" Harry frowned deeply, his anxiety evident. When he asked earlier, Jade instinctively looked toward Luna. Why didn’t she remember now?

Hope’s eyes flickered as she stepped forward and lightly patted Harry’s shoulder, shaking her head subtly—signaling him to stop pressing.

Harry frowned, glancing at Luna before reluctantly letting the matter drop.

A renewed sense of confidence appeared on Luna’s face as she spoke again, "Grandma just woke up, yet here you are forcing her to remember everything. It’s enough already! Do you really want to clear Cousin Hope’s name so badly? But the truth is, she did it. No matter what you say, it won’t change anything."

Jade’s forgetfulness about that day meant there was no evidence to prove Luna’s guilt, further bolstering her confidence.

Harry couldn’t stand the smugness on her face—the look of someone triumphant in wrongdoing. She was obviously the real culprit, yet here she was, accusing others.

"If Grandma hadn’t forgotten, would you still be acting so arrogantly?"

Luna got angry, snapping back, "You’ve been targeting me all day, haven’t you? We grew up together, and yet you’re taking her side. What’s so great about her? You’ve been opposing me just because of her!"

"Opposing you?" Harry’s handsome face darkened with fury. "I only want the truth! It’s you who did everything, yet you escape punishment and even try to blame Cousin Hope?! Do you have no shame!"

"Harry!" Luna screamed in outrage. "Say that again, I dare you! Do you have proof for your accusations? Without evidence, what gives you the right to say such things about me?"

Luna’s face crumpled with grievance, tears streaming uncontrollably, making her look fragile and sympathetic.

Hope’s calm, cool eyes narrowed slightly; her lips twitched faintly as she stayed silent, unsure what to say.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, stop arguing!" Jade clutched her head, her voice desperate and distressed, growing increasingly emotional.

"Grandma..." Hope stepped forward to adjust Jade’s position and asked the doctor to come after noticing her discomfort.

The doctor arrived, calming Jade’s emotions and advising everyone, "The patient has just woken up and is now in need of rest. Do not agitate her further. Only one family member should stay to care for her."

"Alright, we understand." Hope nodded.

Luna turned to Harry, her voice cold. "Satisfied now?"

"You—!"

Hope stopped Harry, her normally composed demeanor carrying traces of anger. "If you keep causing trouble, I’ll have someone throw you out."

At the sight of Hope’s bodyguards near the door, Luna reluctantly fell silent.

Finally, Ted straightened up, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. With a calm yet commanding tone, he stated, "Since the doctor said only one caregiver is needed, there’s no point in all of us staying here."

His eyes lingered on Jade, and his lips curled into an almost imperceptible smirk. "Let’s leave the decision to Grandma. It’s better if she chooses who stays herself."

Walking over to Jade, he leaned in slightly, scrutinizing her reaction closely. "Grandma, who do you want to stay with you?"

His tone seemed casual, as though he were simply asking a passing question, but in fact, he was probing deliberately.

Clearly, he didn’t believe Jade had entirely forgotten what happened.

"I’ll stay with Grandma," Harry readily volunteered.

"I want Luna!" Jade’s weak voice spoke out decisively.

Luna couldn’t hide her joy, her belief strengthened that Jade had truly forgotten what happened. Otherwise, why would she pick Luna to stay without hesitation?

Ted’s deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, studying Jade’s expression but finding nothing out of the ordinary.

Luna flashed a triumphant smile at Hope and Harry.

Hope made no move to stop Luna from staying. She’d already spoken to the doctors, nurses, and caretakers, ensuring precautions against any potential mischief. Luna’s confident demeanor after believing Jade had forgotten would likely keep her in check. There was no reason to intervene.

"Let’s go, Harry," Ted decided, casting a warning glance at his brother before taking him away.

Once the others left, Luna approached Hope, leaning in and lowering her voice. "See, Sis? Even fate is on my side."

Hope chuckled lightly at her words, her eyes filled with mockery. She said nothing as her gaze shifted to Jade on the hospital bed.

Jade was staring at Luna, and as Hope looked closer, she saw unmistakable disappointment and helplessness in her grandmother’s eyes.

That emotion was so palpable it couldn’t be ignored.

Suspicion stirred in Hope’s heart.

Jade caught Hope’s gaze and blinked lightly in acknowledgment.

Hope’s understanding deepened upon seeing this.

Luna, still basking in her happiness, sneered, "Why haven’t you left yet? What are you hanging around for? Grandma specifically asked for me to stay!"

Hope didn’t waste words arguing with her, simply saying to Jade, "Please rest well."

Jade nodded. "Okay."

Hope didn’t linger, leaving the room. Waiting for her outside were Wyatt, Luke, and Willow.

Knowing that Ted and the others were inside earlier, Hope had instructed Wyatt not to take Luke and Willow into the room.

Seeing Hope emerge, Wyatt approached with his two children on either side. "Sis-in-law, how’s the old lady?"

Thinking back to Jade’s subtle hint when she blinked, Hope couldn’t help but smirk. "Alzheimer’s disease, but everything looks stable."

"Alzheimer’s disease? Isn’t that just dementia?" Wyatt frowned, understanding the condition but confused as to why his sister-in-law could still smile.
