Chapter 342 - 338: Ah, I Must Have Roy Lewis
Richelle Dunn was awakened in the middle of the night by the “rumbling” sound of warplanes. This noise was not only loud but also accompanied by a trembling sensation. She even felt a bit of a shaking sensation on her top bunk. She leaned out to look at the bunk below, “Master?”
“Hmm?”
Although Sonia Seaton’s eyes were still closed, her voice was clear and awake.
It seemed that, like herself, Sonia had also been awakened early by the noise.
“You’re awake too?”
Sonia Seaton opened her eyes and stared at her under the dim light.
“What, are you scared?”
Richelle put her arms through the bunk railing and rested her chin on the railing.
“Hmm, a little!”
She honestly replied.
“Do you blame your master for forcing you into this line of work back then?” Richelle shook her head, “Master, why talk like that? Although I, your disciple, may not be successful and carefree, I still have the responsibility and commitment when it matters. Besides, don’t you know me? If I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t have done it even with a knife at my neck.”
Sonia sighed faintly, “Wasn’t it just to repay my kindness for saving your life?” Richelle did not deny that it was one of the reasons.
“Master, that was indeed one of the reasons at first. I would be lying if I said it wasn’t. But I genuinely love this field too. Otherwise, I would have run away long ago. So don’t blame yourself. You can even think of it like this: if that brat Richelle hadn’t become a doctor, she wouldn’t have had the chance to find her son, let alone meet Roy Lewis.”
Sonia was initially feeling a bit sentimental, after all, it was the middle of the night and they were in such a turbulent environment.
But after hearing Richelle’s following words, Sonia couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You naughty girl, is it just because of this that you don’t scold me for forcing you into this profession?”
Richelle laughed, “Master, am I that kind of person? It’s just a mere Roy Lewis.”
Sonia snorted, “Before, I thought you were like me, annoyed by men. Turns out, you’re just like the rest.”
Richelle laughed and admitted to herself, “Yes, I’m just like most fangirls who crave for Roy Lewis’s good looks.”
Sonia disdainfully reminded her, “Are you really boasting about this?”
“I’m not boasting; it’s a fact, I’m just that shallow.”
Richelle frankly admitted that her initial interest in Roy Lewis was indeed due to his looks.
Sonia couldn’t stand her, “You don’t have to put yourself down like that. If you were so interested in looks, wouldn’t you have met Jack Quigley before Roy Lewis?”
Richelle was stunned, suddenly thinking of the inexplicable things Jack Quigley had said to her in the hospital.
“Master, what does this have to do with Professor Quigley?”
“Isn’t Jack Quigley handsome? And remember, he’s only two years older than Roy Lewis. That is to say, when you were his student, he was a year or two younger than Roy is now.”
Richelle frowned, “Master, I never realized he was handsome. Although students taking his class often shouted that Professor Quigley was really handsome, I always thought he was just passable.”
Sonia rolled her eyes, “So by your logic, Jack Quigley is just passable, but Roy Lewis is a national treasure?”
Although Sonia’s description was a bit odd and not gender-appropriate, Richelle felt that it wasn’t entirely wrong.
“Yes, Master, you can think of it that way.”
Sonia felt more and more that her disciple was deeply obsessed.
“You naughty girl, I’m glad that you met Roy Lewis at this age, or else with your infatuation, a few years earlier, and you’d be eaten alive by Roy Lewis!” Richelle’s mind flashed with the image of Roy Lewis and that woman together.
If she could choose, she would hope that she and Roy Lewis could have met earlier.
That way, he would have only held her in his arms.
And he would have only laid his head on her lap.
“Master, I don’t think Roy Lewis is that kind of person.”
Richelle felt that matters of the heart have always been mutual.
Roy Lewis indeed had the charm and ability to consume her completely, but he had never forcefully used those advantages to demand anything from her.
Be it material or emotional.
“Fine, fine, it’s all up to you. I can’t manage all these things anyway!”
Richelle uttered a reply, and then thought of Jack Quigley again.
“Master, why are you acting so weird tonight?”
Sonia snorted with her nose, “Haven’t I always been quite weird?”
Richelle didn’t bother to argue with her, “I mean, this is the first time you’ve mentioned Professor Quigley to me in private. Why?”
“What’s with all the whys? I just suddenly remembered and mentioned it.”
Sonia rolled over, obviously trying to brush her off.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it, Richelle stopped asking.
She just casually said, “Well, now I can’t live without Roy Lewis, and all those other distractions can’t catch my eye anymore!”
