Chapter 778 - 774: Baby, wait for me!
At this moment, in the office, there were only Roy Lewis and Benjamin Fred, so their conversation could be relatively private.
“No need!”
Under Roy Lewis’ management, the Lewis Group has been perfected in every aspect over the years.
He wasn’t afraid of these retaliatory reports, after all, they were done openly.
It was the hidden, invisible ones that were truly terrifying.
…
Richelle Dunn had been standing in the operating room for nearly ten hours. When she came out, she collapsed onto a chair outside as usual, gathering her strength for a while before finally heading to the staff lounge.
The hospital director personally brought her a bowl of hot porridge. Richelle thanked him and started devouring it without reservation.
It was only halfway through her meal when she remembered she hadn’t turned on her phone.
As soon as she turned it on, she received message notification sounds-“beep beep.”
She checked her messages, which were all from Roy Lewis.
It wasn’t strange; her children, Sonia Seaton, and Nathan Caroule all knew about her surgery, but only Roy Lewis was in the dark.
“Surgery finished, I’ll rest a while and then head home.”
As for his question about her master, she guessed he must have already asked Nathan, so there was no need to waste time explaining it again.
Roy didn’t reply, so obviously it was his turn to be busy.
Richelle took a nap on the way home. After coming back, taking a bath, she still managed to read bedtime stories to her three little ones for half an hour.
“Mommy, can we make lanterns ourselves during Mid-Autumn?”
Tifanny asked Richelle Dunn drowsily.
Richelle kissed her forehead and said, “Of course, tomorrow mommy will ask Uncle Axel to help buy the materials for you.”
Timothy was a bit drowsy, but his question was quite clear.
“Mommy, will daddy really be with us during Mid-Autumn?”
For the three siblings, it was the first time both parents would be together with them for Mid-Autumn.
So, the siblings were especially excited about it.
Before yesterday, Richelle would have confidently assured them.
But now, though she said “he really will,” she was actually quite uneasy.
However, the children believed her; once she confirmed it, they closed their eyes and went to sleep peacefully.
After they were asleep, Richelle carried Tifanny back to her princess bed and waited a little longer, ensuring they were all sound asleep before turning off the lights and leaving.
She returned to the bedroom, leaned against the bed, and checked her emails on the iPad.
Even now, Roy Lewis hadn’t replied to the message she’d sent from the hospital.
Apparently, he still wasn’t done with his work.
Richelle glanced at the empty pillow next to her and felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
This feeling was extremely rare for her.
She had been accustomed to loneliness since childhood.
So, she had more than twenty years of experience being alone.
But in those twenty years of genuine solitude, she rarely felt lonely.
However, now that she was in the happiest days since her parents’ deaths, she felt lonely.
Richelle picked up her phone, unlocked it, and tapped into WhatsApp.
She sent another message after the one she’d sent more than two hours ago.
“When will you be back, I miss you…”
This man had infuriated her to the point of spitting blood several times recently.
Yet, it was this very man who made her worry and care.
It was this man who made her feel lonely during her comfortable and happy nights!
Roy Lewis only saw Richelle’s message an hour later.
He wished he could immediately grow wings and quickly fly back home.
“Baby, I’ll be back now, wait for me!”
