Chapter 759: Chapter 755: These four people are his entire world!
In the evening, Richelle Dunn and the children returned home.
Roy Lewis took a rare break during dinner and had a video call with the three kids for a few minutes.
Neither Richelle nor Roy mentioned anything about Royce Gyons in front of the kids.
Later, after the children went to sleep and it was past eleven, Roy called Richelle separately.
Richelle initially didn’t want to talk to him, but she figured he had been working non-stop for days, and despite his exhaustion, he still wanted to call her before he went to sleep.
With a soft heart, Richelle answered the phone after it had been ringing for a while.
“Sweetheart, how was your day? Are you tired?”
Roy seemed to have forgotten about last night’s incident.
Richelle didn’t want to bring it up either.
For one thing, the incident was about a man Roy was very bothered by.
If she brought it up repeatedly, he would only feel worse.
Secondly, she and Roy were far apart, and aside from some small disagreements, she really missed him.
“It was fine. The kids and I spent the whole day at the hospital.”
Roy looked deep into her eyes, “Thank you for your hard work. You have to take care of the kids, pay close attention to my uncle’s situation, and deal with Lewis Group affairs…”
Richelle glared at him, “Roy Lewis, did you call in the middle of the night to make a formal thank you speech?”
Roy smiled slightly, “But in my heart, all I have every day is endless love for you and a little bit of gratitude.”
Richelle rolled her eyes, “You make it sound like there’s nothing else in your heart except for me.”
Roy laughed, “That’s right! My heart is so big…”
He gestured with his hand, “But ninety percent of it is you, followed by eight percent for the kids and grandpa and uncle, and the remaining two percent for work.”
Richelle felt that this man’s ability to sweet talk had improved a lot.
“Roy Lewis, if this call is just to chat about useless things, I’m hanging up.”
Richelle wasn’t a heartless person, but even through the screen, she could see Roy’s dark circles under his eyes.
With her knowledge of Roy’s physical condition, she wasn’t sure if he could get even four hours of sleep each night.
Roy stopped smiling and looked at her seriously for a few seconds.
“Richelle, are you still mad about the Royce Gyons incident?”
Richelle was indeed still annoyed, and hearing him ask so directly made her even more upset.
“You’re amazing. You offend people and won’t even admit it.”
Roy softened his voice, “Baby, I’m sorry! How about this, I’ll ask my aunt to introduce those women she wanted to introduce to me to him instead. I’ll apologize to him by doing this.”
Richelle was amused and annoyed.
“Master Lewis, you’re amazing! This isn’t apologizing, it’s using extreme means to eliminate future threats.”
Roy looked innocent.
“What do you want me to do then? If I keep him away from you, you say it’s a blatant threat. If I suggest introducing suitable partners for him, you say I’m plotting against him and want to eliminate him permanently.”
Richelle replied, “You don’t have to do anything. Just sincerely apologize to him.”
Roy didn’t even hesitate to respond.
“Impossible! I didn’t do or say anything wrong. If I apologize, won’t it be like telling him he can approach you as he pleases?”
Alright then, the conversation had ultimately come back to the starting point.
Which meant she and Roy had been talking at length about nothing, in a circle of ineffective communication.
Richelle didn’t want to argue with him, but she had lost interest in continuing the conversation.
“Fine, if you think you’re not wrong, then you’re not wrong. It’s getting late, go to sleep. And if you keep sleeping only three or four hours a day, all the acupuncture and massage treatments I gave you earlier will go to waste.”
Roy’s expression changed slightly, “I didn’t…”
Richelle cut him off.
“Roy Lewis, I will support all your decisions. And I will bear the consequences of your decisions with you too. But as your doctor, I must tell you very seriously that your current behavior is compromising your not yet fully recovered health.”
Roy remained silent.
Richelle continued, “If you can’t sleep more than five hours a day, I can’t predict or guarantee what the future holds for your health or how well your body will recover. Because for someone in the recovery period, your current behavior can cause irreversible, permanent damage.”
Richelle’s tone was devoid of any personal feelings, like that of any doctor in the hospital who was addressing a bedridden patient.
Roy had heard such a stern verdict many times from other doctors.
But he had been indifferent to them all.
This time, however, he was genuinely alarmed.
Because he now had a responsibility even more important than shouldering the Federation.
In addition to Richelle, he also carried the future of their three children on his shoulders.
Admittedly, in comparison to the entire Federation, these four people were just a drop in the ocean.
But to Roy Lewis, these four were his whole world!
