BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123 - 119: We Are a Couple
Richelle Dunn leaned against Roy Lewis, at first, her consciousness was indeed very chaotic.
But after being comforted by his kisses for a while, she gradually calmed down and her consciousness started to clear up a bit.
In the darkness, she vaguely knew who was holding her, but she resisted admitting that she knew.
Before the crisis was completely resolved, she just wanted to let herself lean in this reassuring embrace and take a good rest for a while.
Roy Lewis seemed to be able to sense her vulnerability, stroking her back with one hand and gently massaging the back of her neck with the other hand.
Neither of them made any more noise, just silently embracing each other in the darkness, waiting for the arrival of the rescue team.
Richelle Dunn had forgotten how many years it had been since she felt so at ease.
In her memory, she had to trace back to her childhood, when her father often hugged her like the man in front of her now, and with all his love, patiently and gently comforted and soothed her.
It’s so comfortable, she wished she could just keep leaning in his embrace like this, then sleep soundly for a long time!
As Richelle Dunn thought that in her heart, she held onto his waist tighter, buried her face in his chest, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the tranquility and peace after the terror.
“Can the people inside hear us?”
The rescuer’s voice came from above the elevator.
Richelle Dunn in the dark uneasily raised her head, and Roy Lewis’ hand immediately moved to the back of her head and gently smoothed it.
“Yes, two people are in the elevator without light, but they are safe.”
Roy Lewis calmly responded to the rescuer’s question while still comforting Richelle Dunn with his hand.
The rescue personnel quickly descended from the elevator shaft above, and the elevator roof began to make a racket, apparently, the rescue personnel were lifting the elevator roof.
Hearing the noise, Richelle Dunn’s terrified thoughts began to emerge again, and her body started to shake slightly.
Roy Lewis felt the change in Richelle Dunn and lowered his head, found her lips by feeling and gently kissed her.
“Good girl… It’s the rescue team!”
It seemed that Richelle Dunn was comforted by him, and she hummed softly, slowly calming down again.
Roy Lewis had mixed feelings, not knowing what she had gone through. Normally, she was such a strong and capable woman, but at the moment, she seemed even more delicate and fragile than Timmy.
After making a noise for a while, the elevator roof was finally pried open to a large extent, and the rescue personnel’s headlight illuminated the inside, Richelle Dunn, who had stayed in the dark for too long, suddenly couldn’t adapt and subconsciously buried her head in Roy Lewis’s arms.
So, when the rescue personnel looked in, they saw the two people tightly embracing each other inside the elevator.
“Are you two… a couple?”
The rescuer who jumped in through the opening just casually asked.
Roy Lewis pressed Richelle Dunn’s face against his shoulder, hesitated slightly, then replied.
“Yes, we are a couple!”
Roy Lewis replied this way, not to take advantage of Richelle Dunn, but because he didn’t want her to be embarrassed.
With her face buried in his shoulder, Richelle Dunn who heard his reply, shuddered slightly.
Roy Lewis noticed and whispered into her ear, ordering her.
“Hide your face, it’s okay…”
Richelle Dunn, whose consciousness had already awakened six or seven points, vaguely realized that he was protecting her with this reply, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
The rescue personnel originally planned to use ropes to tie people’s waists and rescue them, but Roy Lewis pointed to Richelle Dunn in his arms.
“She has claustrophobia and can’t go up on her own.”
The experienced rescue personnel quickly opened the entire elevator roof, then lowered a basket to rescue Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn together.
Roy Lewis in Kindur and throughout the Federation was almost as famous as the president.
So, when the rescuers brought them to a well-lit area and everyone saw his face, they were all shocked.
“Mr. Lewis…”
Roy Lewis still held Richelle Dunn with one hand, while pressing the back of her head with the other hand, nodding to a few rescuers.
“Thank you for your efforts today. My assistant will contact you later about the follow-up matters. If you have any needs or requests, just let us know.”
After speaking to the rescuers, Roy Lewis also whispered to Richelle Dunn, “Can you take the elevator down? If not, we can take the stairs.”
When Richelle Dunn returned to a normal environment, she gradually relaxed and her fears slowly dissipated with Roy Lewis there.
“Let’s take the elevator…”
Roy Lewis hugged her into the elevator, and during the elevator’s descent, he was worried that Richelle Dunn would fall into fear again, so his hold on her unconsciously tightened a bit.
Richelle Dunn felt like she was being squeezed too tight to breathe, yet the man’s warm embrace and reassuring presence made her unwilling to push him away.
The elevator safely reached the basement floor, Roy Lewis walked out of the elevator with Richelle Dunn and took a long breath.
The car was parked beside the elevator. Roy Lewis helped Richelle Dunn into the back seat, adjusted the chair to the lowest level so she could lie down, and took a blanket from the side to cover her.
“Richelle, you rest for a while, I’ll take you to the hospital to have a check.”
Richelle Dunn closed her eyes as soon as she lay down, for one, she was truly exhausted, and for another, she was afraid of feeling embarrassed in front of Roy Lewis with her eyes open.
Although her consciousness was a bit chaotic just now, she remembered everything that happened very clearly!
“Mirim…”
So, when Roy Lewis spoke to her, she instinctively answered, but she quickly realized something.
Wait, he called her Richelle?
No, that’s not the point, the point is that he said he would take her to the hospital?
“No, I’m fine, 1 don’t need to go to the hospital!”
Richelle Dunn opened her eyes, frowned, and protested to Roy Lewis.
Roy Lewis also frowned, staring at her, “No, you need to get checked.”
After staring at each other for a while, Richelle Dunn finally looked away, unable to withstand his intense gaze.
“I’m a doctor, I know my own situation.”
“Richelle!”
Roy Lewis raised his voice slightly, “Looking like this, you’ll scare the kids when you go home!”
The children were Richelle Dunn’s weak spot, and Roy Lewis knew exactly where to poke.
Richelle Dunn gloomily glared at him, gritted her teeth, and angrily said.
“Roy Lewis, you’re something else!”
Roy Lewis was scolded but didn’t get angry at all. Instead, a smile appeared in his eyes. He bent down and tucked the blanket that had been thrown off when she got agitated back around her.
“Good girl, we’ll go home after the visit.”
Richelle Dunn was so embarrassed by his babying tone that she glared at him fiercely, waved her hand, then covered her eyes with her arm and hummed in a smothered voice.
“Get lost!”
