Chapter 623 - 619 Are you stupid? You have a fever!
Walking with them, Nathan Caroule felt as if he was under a huge spotlight, backed by an inspiring BGM.
Having been with the Lewis Group for nearly ten years, he found his palms sweating as he walked that path.
He assumed that the two young masters were as nervous as he was, but when they entered, he saw their relaxed faces, just like when they casually went to school with their backpacks.
“Little lords, weren’t you nervous just now?”
Timmy and Timothy looked at him in unison, “No! Why would we be nervous?”
Nathan Caroule stared at them in disbelief, “No sweaty palms?”
Four dry and chubby little hands were laid out in front of him.
Still not believing, Nathan asked, “No racing heartbeats, dry mouth, and parched throat?”
Timmy and Timothy shook their heads again, “No!”
Then, Timmy gestured worriedly for Nathan to squat down and said, “Uncle Caroule, squat down.”
Nathan looked at him puzzled, but his body had always been obedient to the Roy Lewis family, so he squatted down as instructed.
Timmy stretched out his chubby hand and placed it on Nathan’s forehead, then immediately furrowed his eyebrows.
“Uncle Caroule, are you silly? You have a fever!”
Nathan didn’t believe it at first and thought Timmy was just fooling him.
But when he touched his own forehead, it turned out to be quite hot.
“Uncle Caroule, you’d better lie down on the couch. I’ll ask the secretary if she has any fever-reducing medicine.”
Soon, Timmy brought a first aid kit from the secretary and took a thermometer for Nathan to hold in his mouth. Then, he took Nathan’s pulse.
The temperature measured was nearly thirty-nine degrees Celsius.
“Tsk, Uncle Caroule, no wonder you said you had sweaty palms and racing heartbeats!”
With a look of disgust, he took out the medicine from the kit, found two suitable types.
He got some water, handed it to Nathan, and asked him to take the medicine.
Nathan tried several times to take the medicine himself, but was stopped by Timmy’s cool and milky voice each time.
“Timmy, your mom and dad will be heartbroken if they know you’re taking care of me like this.”
Timmy snorted.
“What’s the big deal? Didn’t we promise that we three would take care of you and Auntie when we grow up? This time, it’s just a rehearsal.”
When Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn told the three children to take care of them in their old age,
Nathan didn’t take it seriously.
Or rather, he knew they meant it sincerely.
But he couldn’t accept the idea of becoming a burden to others.
As for the children saying they would support him and his wife.
He didn’t take that seriously either.
Can the promises made by such small kids be taken as real commitments?
But now, after hearing what Timmy said,
Nathan knew that Timmy and his siblings really took their words as promises.
For a moment, Nathan was so moved that his eyes turned red.
However, unlike Timothy, Timmy didn’t know how to save face for others.
He bluntly asked him, “Uncle Caroule, are you moved?”
Nathan held his little face and kissed him hard on the forehead.
Then, he nodded and admitted.
“Yes! Uncle is touched by you guys!”
Timmy grinned.
He reached out his chubby hand and touched Nathan’s face.
“Don’t worry, we will support you guys for sure. If you and Auntie don’t believe it, we can ask a lawyer to draw up a contract, sign our names, and then we won’t be able to go back on our words.”
After saying that, he blinked, “Give me the lawyer’s phone number!”
How could Nathan not believe them?
“No need, no need! Uncle believes you!”
Timmy laughed even more happily and patted Nathan’s waist.
“As long as you believe, now lie down and rest for a while. Timothy and I will handle what we can first, and consult you for anything we can’t.”
Nathan struggled to sit up but was pushed down again by Timmy’s small hand.
“Uncle, if you don’t behave, I’ll call Mr. Chapman and ask him to send an ambulance to take you to the emergency room.”
This threat really silenced Nathan.
If it were any other child saying this, people would take it as a joke.
But when Timmy said it, Nathan couldn’t take it as a joke.
If he did, he would suffer greatly.
He didn’t want to be the only employee in the history of the Lewis Group who, had to take an ambulance to the emergency room because of a fever!
Nathan had no choice but to lie down on the couch, even though his mind was still on work.
However, the medicine Timmy gave him had quite a significant side effect – drowsiness. Not long after taking it, he fell asleep.
It wasn’t the first time that Timmy and Timothy had dealt with the affairs of the Lewis Group. They were very adept at handling most things, but for the few they couldn’t, they didn’t disturb the sleeping Nathan.
Instead, they called Richelle and had her teach them how to handle those matters via video call.
The brothers managed to complete the tasks that Nathan was originally supposed to finish by the end of the morning without any accidents.
Of course, Nathan would still have to go over everything they did once he woke up.
Timothy had called the secretary earlier, asking her to order lunch for them from outside. He ordered a patient meal for Nathan – rice porridge and noodles..
