Chapter 67 - 63: The Lethally Seductive Mr. Fu
Tifanny giggled again, “Big brother, you seem smart, how can you be so dumb?”
Young Master retorted, “Hmph, I’m not dumb.”
“Hehe, big brother, just think about it, I’m a girl, I wear skirts, and you guys wear pants! People can tell the difference obviously!”
Richelie had prepared dinner with the three kids at home and figured that Roy Lewis should be awake by now, so she went back to the bedroom, took out her phone, and sent him a message.
“Are you awake?”
Roy Lewis replied almost immediately. However, as usual, his response was concise.
“Hmm!”
Richelie knew that he was like this and didn’t bother arguing with him.
“Are you and your grandfather okay?”
Although she had checked their pulses before leaving them alone.
“We’re fine, please take care of Timmy tonight, I’m afraid he’ll be overthinking things if he’s alone.”
Richelie was surprised, “Are you staying in the hospital with your grandfather?”
His body wouldn’t allow him to stay up all night.
“I’ve asked Mrs. Collins to come over, as well as a caregiver, I’ll rest in the next room.”
Richelle breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, you should pay more attention to yourself and have the nurse check your vitals before bed. Send them to me.”
This was the first time Richelle had asked Roy Lewis to send her his vitals before bed since taking over his treatment.
The reason, of course, was that Roy Lewis’ emotions had gone through ups and downs, and she was worried that they might cause some hidden dangers, so it was better to be cautious.
She thought that Roy Lewis might ask why, even if he didn’t object. But he just sent her a simple word.
“Okay!”
Richelle looked at the brief conversation on the screen and felt that something was off.
Roy Lewis was usually not talkative, but he didn’t seem to be so terse, did he?
She thought about it for a moment, didn’t want to meddle in his business, but remembering her eldest son’s worried eyes, she finally made a video call.
As she waited for the call to connect, she sat cross-legged on the floor next to the bed.
It took a while for the video to connect, and on the screen was Roy Lewis’s calm face.
“What’s up?”
Richelle looked at the background behind him, which was white, presumably a hospital wall.
“Where are you now?”
It took a long time to connect the video, was he lying to her?
He must not be in a hurry to go to the Thompsons’ to settle the score right now.
Roy Lewis seemed to understand what she was thinking, adjusted the camera angle slightly, and the background changed from a white wall to a Central Hospital bed with sheets and blankets.
“I’m in the next room, so I don’t disturb my grandfather.”
This man, usually looking quite clueless, but when it mattered, he was quite attentive.
“How do you feel after waking up?”
Richelle stared at his face, but she couldn’t see the condition of his complexion through the screen at all.
Roy Lewis saw Richelle being so worried and realized that his situation in the afternoon must have been quite dangerous.
“I don’t feel any different from usual, so you don’t have to worry.”
Richelle nodded, “Okay, I’ll feel more at ease then. Later, I’ll have Mr. Chapman arrange for a doctor to do a routine checkup for you, and don’t forget to take your Chinese medicine on time.”
Roy Lewis responded with a “hmm,” and just as Richelle was about to say goodbye, she heard him ask.
“Did Timmy ask anything?”
Richelle didn’t hide it from him, “He knew something happened to his grandfather, and as soon as I got back, he kept asking me.”
Roy Lewis frowned, and a vicious look flashed through his eyes. Who dared to mess with even a child?
“How is he now? Is he okay?”
“Don’t worry, he’s playing with Timothy and Tifanny and has completely forgotten his worries. Also, I promised him that as long as I’m here, your grandfather and you will be fine. So, Mr. Lewis, for your thoughtful and caring precious son, please take good care of yourself.”
Roy Lewis said, “Okay!”, then looked at her intently for a while before saying, “Richelle, thank you!”
This time, he called her Richelle instead of Dr. Dunn.
He could tell that what Richelle had done today went beyond what a doctor should do.
Her care for him and Timmy was not only out of a doctor’s heart but also out of a friend’s heart.
Richelle had heard Roy Lewis say ‘thank you’ several times today, but she was calm and unworried the previous times.
But this time, unexpectedly, her heartbeat accelerated, her ear on the phone grew hot, and an inexplicable sense of agitation and disturbance came over her. She quickly lowered her head, hiding her unease in the shadows.
“Mr. Lewis, I’m just doing my job for the money, saying thank you is too much!”
She stood up with her hand on the floor, and without waiting for Roy Lewis’ reply, she hurriedly said goodbye, “Okay, I need to cook the final dish for the kids, and Mr. Lewis, you should go eat something too – you can’t be hungry now.”
Roy Lewis at the hospital hadn’t got a chance to say goodbye to Richelle before the screen went black. She had obviously cut off the video call.
What was going on with Richelle? She seemed a bit strange.
Roy Lewis put his phone away and sat on the couch for a while, replaying Richelle’s appearance from the call in his mind.
It seemed that she became abnormal only after he said thank you, right?
Did his ‘thank you’ release a different side of her?
Roy Lewis chuckled at the bizarre explanation in his mind. He had been close to his son recently, and even his thoughts occasionally went wild and imaginative like a child’s.
Little did he know that his bizarre explanation was actually quite close to the truth.
However, what broke the seal was not a ‘thank you,’ but a heartfelt and even tender ‘Richelle!’
Richelle always knew that Roy Lewis was handsome, but she never knew that his voice was so deep and magnetic through video calls.
And that gentle “Richelle” kept looping in her ears until she lay down on her bed!
MD, it’s one thing to look good, but his voice is so damn sexy that it could make someone’s ears pregnant.
It’s like he’s making life difficult for her, a person who believes in the justice of good looks….
