Chapter 776 - 772: The most troublesome one is you
Chapter 776: Chapter 772: The most troublesome one is you
Richelle Dunn spoke honestly.
“I can believe everything else, but seriously, I find it hard to trust this today…”
Dr. Zadra and the Chinese traditional doctor beside her felt a little embarrassed.
Were they even supposed to hear the intimate conversations between Master and Mrs. Lewis?
The Chinese traditional doctor, as per Richelle’s request, took Roy’s pulse and conveyed the feedback to Richelle.
Richelle contemplated for a moment, “Then next, please insert the needles in the order I mentioned.”
Roy Lewis didn’t know that he would drift off to sleep just like how he does when Richelle punctures him with needles. Therefore, he grasped the opportunity to ask Richelle.
“Are you and the kids doing alright?”
Richelle retorted, “Relax, currently the most troublesome one at home is you!”
Roy had no option but to keep quiet, listening to Richelle instruct the Chinese doctor to insert silver needles into the acupoints on his head.
As expected, before the needles could fully puncture him, he fell asleep.
Richelle, who was in Kindur, was previously sweating profusely but when he saw him fall asleep on the screen, a wave of relief washed over her.
His fever was not just because of the rain, but due to his physical exhaustion as well. The fever was his body’s cry for help signalling a need to recuperate.
Because he then fell asleep, the replenishment of some physical energy would soon help bring the fever down.
After the Chinese practitioner finished inserting the needles guided by Richelle, Richelle thanked him, “You’ve had a hard time, thank you!”
Then, she requested from Dr. Zadra.
“He is sleeping, it’s inappropriate to move him. Please communicate with the others to wait till he wakes up.”
This definitely was easy to accomplish.
As soon as Dr. Zadra explained the situation to the company personnel, they immediately agreed.
“Of course, it’s not a problem. Now, Dr. Zadra, why don’t you have dinner with us first?”
Seeing the condition Roy was in now, was Dr. Zadra prepared to neglect it?
“There’s no need for that, just please have someone bring a boxed meal here.”
Since Dr. Zadra set the tone, the accompanying personnel naturally could not leave the President behind in order to get some good food. Consequently, they directly sorted out their dinner with the factory leaders in the factory’s dining hall.
Roy ended up sleeping for more than an hour. As soon as he woke up, Dr. Zadra who was attentively observing his condition, immediately sprung up.
“Master Lewis, do you feel better now?”
Roy knew his body could not endure a high fever.
“Am I still running a fever?”
Dr. Zadra shook his head, “The fever’s gone. Indeed, Dr. Dunn’s medical expertise is amazing.”
Roy corrected him, “Primarily, it’s because she understands my physical condition too well. That said, her medical expertise indeed is a fact.”
Dr. Zadra consistently felt as if their love life was being flaunted unprovokingly right in front of him, however, he had no solid evidence.
“Master Lewis, this medicine was made by Dr. Dunn as per the prescriptions she gave. She emphasized that you must drink it as soon as you wake up.”
Roy took the bowl and gulped down the dark and murky traditional Chinese medicine.
Once Dr. Zadra left with the empty bowl, Roy took out his phone and dialed Richelle’s number.
Richelle’s face swiftly appeared on the screen, “Roy, you completely disregarded what I said, didn’t you?”
When Roy was sick, Richelle was seething with anger but could not lash out.
Now that he was feeling better, Richelle could not help but start scolding him.
Roy made a salute gesture on the side of his forehead, “I’m sorry for making our queen worried.”
Richelle rolled her eyes, “Honestly, you are a perfect example of someone who keeps making the same mistakes and never learns.”
“Yes! Yes!”, Roy sincerely admitted his mistake, “Once home, I will personally apologize to you and make sure to reflect and reconsider in front of our children.”
In the video, Richelle was venting for quite a while before her anger completely dissipated.
“What time will you be back tomorrow?”
Tomorrow was Saturday, their family day.
However, their family trips had been hindered due to Roy’s series of unexpected issues over the past few months.
Roy suddenly felt hesitant to answer but he had to.
“I have to meet several important guests after returning tomorrow. I’ll try to return home before midnight.”
Richelle took a moment of silence, finalized her thoughts and then sighed.
“Alright, I’ll ask Dr. Zadra to make some Chinese traditional medicine for you again tomorrow…
“Baby, I’m sorry…”
Roy, in his heart, was filled with tens of thousands of apologies for Richelle and the children.
But with all the responsibilities that were falling on him, if he didn’t shoulder them, everything would collapse!
Richelle suddenly became very serious.
“Roy, we don’t need your apologies. Regardless of what you do, we will give you our unconditional support. However, the premise is that you take good care of yourself.”
She had said this more than once.
Roy was nodding vigorously.
The two of them spent over half an hour talking in the rest room.
Outside the rest room, Dr. Zadra had to stand patiently, being bitten by mosquitoes for the same duration.
Originally, according to schedule, they were supposed to return to Kindur late at night.
However, due to Roy’s physical condition, Benjamin Fred, who was scheduling workload remotely, didn’t dare take it lightly. He booked a local hotel, hence they stayed overnight and only flew back to Kindur in the morning.
Roy got to know about the online fuss that happened the previous day only on his flight back to Kindur.
