Chapter 105 - 101: Richelle Dunn, are you tired of living?
“Sorry!”
Roy Lewis, who was usually calm and unhurried, showed a rare look of shock on his face.
He hurriedly released her hand, stepped back a few steps, and then apologized again with a full face of guilt.
“I’m sorry, I overreacted!”
Richelle Dunn didn’t understand his meaning for a moment, frowning and staring at him intently.
“Overreacted?”
Roy made a big mistake, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, he patiently explained.
“Timmy has an allergic constitution, but we didn’t know that until once like you, he was also covered in red dots. We thought it was mosquito bites and applied some anti-itch cream to him. As a result, he had a high fever that night and was taken to the hospital for testing. Turns out it was a mango allergy.”
Upon hearing that her eldest son also had an allergy, Richelle completely forgot to blame Roy and asked anxiously.
“Did you ever have allergy testing done for him later?”
Allergies can be big or small, and if you’re not careful, they can be life-threatening!
Roy nodded, “We did…”
Richelle let out a sigh of relief, “Then send it to me quickly!”
Seeing Roy’s puzzled gaze, she immediately explained, “Timmy often eats at my house, and if I accidentally make something he can’t eat, it’ll be a big problem.”
Roy suddenly realized, quickly pulled out his phone, and sent Timmy’s allergy test report to Richelle.
After sending it, his focus returned to Richelle.
“What are you allergic to?”
The lunch was delivered by Nathan Caroule and was still from the same restaurant as yesterday. It was all very common home-cooked dishes, so the chances of an allergy were slim.
Richelle coughed twice uncomfortably and gave an answer.
“Ice cream…”
Actually, she knew that she was allergic to ice cream, but her cravings got the better of her.
And when she was busy or exhausted, a serving of ice cream was like a miraculous cure!
But every time after she ate it, she had to quickly take some allergy medication.
However, she was too focused just now and completely forgot about taking the medication.
Roy stared at her in disbelief, his tone suddenly dropping to freezing point.
“Richelle Dunn, do you not value your life? You knew you were allergic, and you still ate it!”
Roy still remembers his beloved son’s allergy attack, which led to high fever and convulsions. The hospital director mentioned at the time that if he was admitted any later, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, even though Roy was not a doctor, he knew that severe allergies could be life-threatening!
Richelle was taken aback by his roar and muttered in her heart about why he was so fierce. Then she guiltily touched her neck, trying to brush it off with a laugh.
“Hehe, I just couldn’t resist the temptation. It’s alright, I’ll go take some allergy medication now…”
Roy’s gaze followed her movements, then he glanced at her neck and lightly scolded.
“You’re really that tempted?”
Richelle, a grown woman, was stared at by him to the point of embarrassment and could only laugh awkwardly.
Roy glanced at her with some disappointment.
“Even Timmy has better self-control than you, and you call yourself a doctor!”
Richelle felt even more guilty for being compared to his son.
Usually a genius, she didn’t realize something.
Timmy was Roy’s son, and it’s natural for a father to care for his son.
But Roy wasn’t her who, so why should he care about her!
Now, her brave spirit was clearly frozen by Roy’s cold aura, and she thought, “I don’t owe you anything, can’t I just run away?”
Turning around, she was about to run!
“Where are you going?”
The Roy behind her sounded even more displeased.
You don’t do this, Master Lewis, I just fancied an ice cream, okay?
Is it necessary to interrogate me like a criminal?
Richelle wailed in her heart and turned back with a flattering smile.
“I’ll go back to my room and take the medicine right away!”
Roy Lewis’s face finally softened a bit, “Okay, after you take it and tidy up, come back with me for dinner.”
Richelle Dunn thought she had heard wrong, “Huh? Go home with you? Didn’t we agree within a week…”
“It’s settled!”
Richelle was even more puzzled, “What’s settled?”
Roy Lewis glanced at her speechlessly, “Did the allergy burn out your brain?”
Richelle finally got a little annoyed, “Hey, how can you swear at people?”
I’m braindead? You’re the one who’s braindead!
Roy Lewis ignored her but gave an explanation.
“The Thompsons’ issue has been resolved, you can go home now,”
Richelie’s face showed joy, immediately forgetting to bicker with him, but then she looked regretfully at the floor-to-ceiling window reflecting the blue sky.
Roy Lewis wasn’t good at understanding people’s feelings, but strangely, he could easily guess Richelle’s emotions and thoughts.
“I told you, if you want to live here, just come over anytime.”
She laughed when he saw through her thoughts and gently refused.
“Forget it, I’m too busy to come here for a vacation.”
Since the danger was over, her vacation had also come to an end.
Next, there would be a very tough road of revenge, which wouldn’t allow her the slightest carelessness or negligence.
Roy Lewis didn’t say much more about it, anyway, he had arranged everything, so whether she wanted to come was up to her.
Seeing she was still standing there and assuming she was hesitating, he added, “Timmy isn’t very happy, you should go be with him.”
Upon hearing her son was unhappy, Richelle put all her other thoughts aside, wishing she could fly straight back to the Lewis house to soothe him.
“Wait for me, I’ll be right back after I pack.”
On the way to the Lewis house, Richelle finally remembered to ask about the Thompsons’ issue.
Originally, this was none of her business, but considering her upcoming plans, she wanted to learn more about the Thompsons from Roy Lewis.
Of course, such a cautious person like Roy Lewis might not even answer her.
Unexpectedly, Roy actually gave her a simple explanation without any hesitation.
“The person behind the trouble was exposed to be an illegitimate child from a collateral branch of the Thompsons. He was short of money, so he took the blame. Nathan went to visit his mother in the sanatorium, and the illegitimate child obediently confessed to everything about Lucas Thompson.”
Roy Lewis spoke casually, but Richelle understood that his “visit” was probably not as simple as it sounded.
However, debt has a debtor and injustice has an author, so after all, the root of this problem was the fault of the illegitimate child’s mother. Therefore, the mother should help bear the mistake her son made, which was reasonable.
“Did they ever confess if there were any other accomplices involved?”
Richelle asked casually, but Roy Lewis gave her a side glance.
“No, from beginning to end, it was just him stirring things up. The person who angered Master Lewis to the point of fainting was also him.”
Roy Lewis’ investigation had also uncovered that Lucas Thompson had recently been very close to Jayden Dunn.
However, this had nothing to do with Richelle, so it was better left unsaid.
In Roy Lewis’s view, Richelle was the most innocent party in this whole matter. Knowing less about certain things would mean less danger for her.
So, he didn’t want to involve her in the follow-up matters anymore.
Richelle didn’t get any new information from Roy Lewis, which left her a bit disappointed.
Soon, however, she figured it out.
Initially, the information she wanted to find out wouldn’t come from Roy anyway, so there was no reason for her to be disappointed.
After coming to terms with the situation, she remembered her eldest son.
“Did you tell Timmy I’m coming back?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Yeah, as soon as the crisis was over, 1 told him.”
Although his son had never said anything about it, Roy could tell that he cared a lot about Richelle.
What Roy found even stranger was that the switch that changed their son from a cold little boss to a cute treasure seemed to be triggered by Richelle.
With Richelle gone for two days, the little one reverted to his previous silent and proud demeanor, acting as if everyone else in the house had offended him.
This kind of influence, even his biological mother, Kiara Dunn, couldn’t match!
