Chapter 483 - 479: Daddy, We Miss You So Much
The two of them happily embraced each other. After their excitement had subsided, Richelle called the dean and asked him to arrange for an ophthalmologist to examine Roy Lewis.
Roy was worried about her. When she hung up the phone, he quickly pulled her hand and reminded her.
“Your eyes…”
Richelle had always been strong and probably didn’t want to be seen in this state.
Yet, she shook her head, “It’s okay. I’m just crying because I’m happy that your eyes are better. As a doctor, they should understand the emotions of a patient’s family member.”
Roy couldn’t do anything but follow her lead.
Soon, the dean rushed over with an ophthalmologist specialist.
The ophthalmologist performed a simple check on Roy, and then said to Richelle.
” Dr. Dunn, it seems that your acupuncture treatment has had a noticeable effect. In the future, could you please assist with related cases?”
As a doctor, Richelle, of course, had no reason to refuse a patient.
“Sure, as long as the timing doesn’t conflict.”
As an independent-qualified doctor, Richelle had the qualifications to practice medicine worldwide, so theoretically, as long as she agreed, she could legally serve every patient.
Meanwhile, the dean also took the opportunity to ask, “Dr. Dunn, could you also consider performing surgeries for complicated and severe cases in the future if needed?”
Roy, lying in bed, sighed helplessly in his heart.
He really had involuntarily given Richelle a bunch of additional tasks.
He quietly lamented to himself that their time together would be taken up even more. Then, he heard Richelle respond to the dean.
“Sure! As long as there’s no conflict with my schedule.”
The dean and the ophthalmologist expressed their gratitude, prescribed some eye medication for Roy, and then left.
When they were gone, Roy took a deep breath.
Richelle looked at him curiously, “What’s wrong with you? You can see now, which is something to be happy about. Why are you sighing?”
Roy reached out and grabbed her hand, “I just wish I could hide you away.”
Richelle didn’t understand what had gotten into him, “What’s got you bothered now?”
Roy looked resentful, “You’re so busy every day, and now I’ve landed you with two more tasks. You already have so little time to spend with me, and now it will be even less!”
Richelle burst into laughter because of him.
Roy glared at the woman with swollen eyes, who still managed to show a mischievous smile, and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek.
“And you’re laughing!”
Richelle couldn’t stop giggling. Her previous sadness and longing, brought on by her parents’ notebook, vanished because of the recovery of Roy’s eyes and his amusing reaction.
“Roy, just think of my work as saving people and accumulating virtue for our family.”
Of course, Roy was just complaining. When reason prevailed, he was genuinely happy for her.
Using her talents to help and even save people was indeed a great act of virtue.
Roy reached out to pull her over and gently hugged her.
“I’m just venting. Don’t mind me, do whatever you want to do!”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “That’s quite a quick change of heart! But if you really didn’t care, I bet you’d cry.”
Roy was amused by her but became serious after a while and spoke to Richelle earnestly.
“Richelle, I admit that I have the selfish and possessive mentality that many men have. It’s natural and I can’t control it. But the rational part of me knows that you’re an independent individual, and whatever you decide to do, I have to support!”
Richelle could understand his feelings on the matter.
For example, if she had known about his trip to the central region beforehand, she would have wanted to stop him emotionally.
Because such a situation was full of uncertainty and danger.
Going there was like taking nine risks out of ten.
Emotionally, as his lover, she would hope he prioritized his safety.
However, rationally, she would never stop him.
The reason was the same as his.
To love him wasn’t to confine him.
Instead, when everyone else didn’t support him, she would be the one standing firmly behind him, offering unwavering support!
Now that Roy’s eyes could see again, Richelle didn’t have to hide anything from their children.
The next morning, Roy spent a long time in front of the mirror and finally came out in a wheelchair on his own.
He found a spot with good lighting and let Richelle help him adjust the camera and distance before calling their children.
As soon as the video connected, their beautiful, adorable daughter Tifanny appeared.
She must have seen Roy, so she exclaimed with surprise, “Daddy!” And then her mouth pursed, and she started to cry.
Roy couldn’t help but feel a little heartbroken when he saw his little girl cry.
“Sweetie, don’t cry. Doesn’t Daddy look fine now?”
The little girl wiped her tears with the back of her hand while sobbing. “Daddy… when are you coming home? We miss you so much….”
