Chapter 71: Chapter 67: Do you, for Dr. Dunn, perhaps…
Translator: 549690339
The two were having tea in the dean’s office when a medical worker came over, “Master Lewis, the old man is awake and looking for you.”
Roy Lewis quickly stood up and saw Richelie Dunn sitting without moving, nodding his chin towards her.
“Aren’t you coming?”
Richelie Dunn looked at him strangely, “The old man is looking for you, not me.”
Roy Lewis reached out and grabbed her arm, “You are his main doctor, shouldn’t you go and check the situation now that he’s awake?”
Richelie Dunn didn’t expect him to take her hand directly and hurriedly reached out to break free from his grip.
“Alright, I’m going. No need to drag me, 1 have short legs, and I can’t keep up.”
As soon as she said this, Roy Lewis took a glance at her long legs, then intentionally slowed down, waiting for her to catch up and walking side by side.
“The dean said the old man woke up once early in the morning and then went back to sleep?”
“Yes, he woke up and asked a few questions, drank some porridge, and soon fell asleep again.”
Richelie Dunn didn’t ask what the old man asked, and guessed it must be something concerned about Roy Lewis anyway.
After all, it’s not the kind of thing she needed to know as a doctor.
Yet, Roy Lewis said, “He asked if Timmy is getting used to staying with Dr.
Dunn and said he must have caused you some trouble.”
Richeile Dunn looked at him in surprise, “The old man knows me?”
Roy Lewis smiled, “Of course he knows. He even asked yesterday why you weren’t invited to the birthday banquet together.”
Richeile Dunn didn’t fully believe what Roy Lewis said, but with Roy Lewis’ character, he wouldn’t have any need to make such a joke.
But if the old man indeed knew her, it would be quite awkward for her to go in now.
After all, she was the one who personally sent the old man’s son and grandson to the police station.
If the old man had a wider mind than most, he wouldn’t hold a grudge, would he?
As Richeile Dunn thought about this, her pace slowed down a bit.
Roy Lewis noticed her with her head down and walking slowly, quite different from her usual brisk walk.
“What’s wrong?”
Richeile Dunn raised her head and squeezed out a smile, then clicked her tongue teasingly.
“Just wondering if I’m going to get slapped by the old man in a moment.”
Roy Lewis looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, “What are you thinking about? My grandfather may be old, but he isn’t so confused that he can’t tell right from wrong.”
Richeile Dunn said in her heart, “1 hope so”, but answered on the surface.
“I’m just joking, aren’t I?”
At this point, Richeile Dunn felt a bit regretful. She had been Roy Lewis’ doctor for so long, yet she hadn’t made any inquiries about his family.
In the end, she had never thought that she would have any intersection with the Lewis family’s other members. Including Roy Lewis, she only thought of him as having a doctor-patient relationship.
But now, it seemed like not only her and Roy Lewis but also with the Lewis family, there were more and more entanglements.
So annoying!
Richeile Dunn sighed inwardly, and they had arrived at the entrance of the intensive care unit.
Roy Lewis entered the door first, greeted his grandfather sitting on the bed, then stepped aside to introduce Richeile Dunn.
“Grandpa, this is my current doctor and Timmy’s teacher, Richeile Dunn.”
Richeile Dunn slightly bowed to the old man lying in bed, “Mr. Lewis, hello! My name is Richeile Dunn.”
The old man’s face was full of kindness and joy, looking at the lovely couple in front of him, he felt very comforted.
It was the first time his thirty-year-old grandson had ever brought a girl to meet the old man.
“Dr. Dunn, Roy has told me about you, thank you for taking care of my quirky grandson and great-grandson.”
Although Richeile Dunn had heard Roy Lewis deny it before, she still felt a little surprised to see the old man’s gentle face.
“Mr. Lewis, you’re too kind. It’s my job, and all I’ve done is within the scope of my duty.”
However, no matter how much Richelie emphasized that all her actions were for work, she still couldn’t dispel the old man’s speculation of a beautiful marriage. The way Master Lewis looked at Richeile seemed to carry additional considerations.
“Dr. Dunn, Roy told me that you saved my life last night. Thank you.”
Richeile cast a sideways glance at Roy Lewis. What exactly had this man been saying in front of the old man?
Why did she feel that the way Master Lewis looked at her and the things he said were a bit odd?
“Mr. Lewis, don’t listen to his nonsense. You were treated by the hospital’s specialists when you were brought in. I just helped by administering some acupuncture and providing some auxiliary treatment.”
Richeile didn’t have the habit of taking all the credit for herself, especially for cases like Master Lewis’. If it hadn’t been for the timely intervention of the dean, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to give the acupuncture treatment.
As Master Lewis observed her carefully all the way, he found that although she was young, her delicate face made her look like a college student who hadn’t yet graduated.
However, from her proper smile and speech, he could tell that she was a well-educated young lady. Despite her young age, she showed no panic when facing someone of his status. Her speech and attitude were neither arrogant nor humble, and she seemed accurate in her judgments.
Such a smart and worldly young lady would be a perfect match for his arrogant grandson. They would make a truly talented and beautiful couple.
Most importantly, she seemed to have no resistance to his precious great-grandson, Timmy. In fact, she got along with him quite well?
How rare this was!
Others might not know, but his grandson and great-grandson both had tempers that were not easy for ordinary people to bear.
It wasn’t that they were particularly cruel, but both were cold and aloof, as well as very proud.
But when he observed the interaction between his grandson and Richeile, there was no trace of coldness or arrogance. The expressions and dynamics between the two seemed to have a taste of an old married couple.
“Dr. Dunn, you’re too modest. Roy has praised you a lot. It’s Leah’s blessing to have met you. As for the foolish things James Lewis and Edbert have done, I’m sorry on their behalf.”
Richeile was initially afraid that Master Lewis would blame her for the incident with James Lewis and Edbert, but not only did he not blame her, he even apologized to her proactively.
“Mr. Lewis, you are being too serious. They are adults and can take responsibility for their actions. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, the law will punish them fairly for their mistakes.”
Richeile didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so she stepped forward and checked the bedside monitor, which showed stable data.
“Mr. Lewis, please lie down. I’ll take your pulse.”
Master Lewis’ pulse was stable and strong, clearly indicating that he was very healthy.
One could only imagine how insistent the Thompsons must have been in their accusations to have caused such a strong old man to faint.
However, this was the Lewis family’s affair, and Roy would handle it. It was not her place as an outsider to worry.
“Mr. Lewis, you are in great health. Just rest for a few days and you’ll be fine.”
With that said, she helped the old man adjust his blanket.
Master Lewis was not concerned with his own matters, as his gaze remained fixed on her face.
“Dr. Dunn, when you have time, would you like to come over with Roy and Timmy for dinner?”
Richeile felt that Master Lewis was being overly enthusiastic, so she naturally refused his invitation.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Lewis, but I have two children at home. Besides working, I spend most of my time taking care of them.”
Richeile wasn’t sure if she was misinterpreting things, but it was best to nip certain situations in the bud early on.
Sure enough, Master Lewis’ expression visibly darkened.
Richeile, sensing the atmosphere, subtly stepped back.
“Mr. Lewis, 1 won’t disturb your rest any longer.”
She then turned to Roy and said, “Mr. Lewis, message me when you’re free, and I’ll come give you your acupuncture treatment.”
She bid farewell to Master Lewis with a smile and left the room.
Once the door was closed, Master Lewis clearly disappointed — asked his grandson for confirmation.
“Dr. Dunn, she’s married? And she has two children?”
Roy nodded and told him the truth.
“Divorced, but the two kids live with her! It’s not easy for her…”
Master Lewis frowned at him. “Roy, do you have feelings for Dr.. Dunn…?”
