After listening, Hugo Camrey patted his chest agreeably.
“Okay, I’ll find someone to start working on it tonight.”
Seeing his ready acceptance, Richelie Dunn finally felt a little relieved.
“Hugo, thank you! As for the reward, name your price, 1 can give you a part upfront.”
Hugo glanced at her, “Richelie, are we really going to be so formal with each other?”
Realizing his misunderstanding, Richelie quicker explained.
“This is a long-standing issue, it’s not something that can be casually asked about. There are definitely many parts that require greasing the wheels, which all cost money. 1 can’t let you help me for nothing and also pay for it!”
Hugo’s expression improved, “No rush, I’m not that poor. If anything needs to be taken care of, 1 will cover it first.”
Richelle gratefully said again “Thank you!”,” There are some names from the families that used to be closely associated with my parents, I remember them. Later, 1 will compile a list for you, this might make your task easier.”
“Sure!”, Hugo suddenly thought of something, “Oh yeah, you said you ran into Timothy and his dad several days after returning, how did that happen? Did you bump into them on the street?”
Richelle shook her head, “No, the father of the child is my patient!”
“Damn!”
Hugo pulled his hair forcefully, pointed at Richelle and stuttered “you, you!” twice before saying, “Richelle Dunn, is your main occupation not a painter, but a doctor?”
Richelle laughed, “My main occupation is a painter. Being a doctor is just something my master insisted on me doing. He said that if 1 didn’t, I’d be ungrateful and forget the hard work he put to save us back then. What could 1 do!?”
Hugo Camrey glared at her fiercely, “Alright, Richelle Dunn, do you have any secrets 1 don’t know about? Just confess quickly, let me see anything else that would shock me.”
Richelle blinked, “The children’s biological father is Roy Lewis.”
It wasn’t that Richelle was showing off or trying to scare Hugo. Simply put, since she was asking him for help, she had to explain these personal relevancies clearly.
“Damn! Damn! Damn! Richelle, are you sent by god to reshape my world view today?”
Richelle knew that any one of the things that had happened to her could make people reel. However, ironically, all of these things had happened to her.
Not to mention Hugo, even she herself occasionally finds it ridiculously melodramatic when she thinks deeply about it.
After his exclamations, Hugo sighed and sympathetically said,
“Richelle, what kind of constitution do you have?”
Richelle smiled bitterly and shook her head, “I also want to know what kind of trouble magnet I am.”
Hugo marvelled, “Just now 1 was wondering if there is any hornet’s nest that our War of God, Richelle, wouldn’t dare to poke? Now: Oh, it’s Roy Lewis! Well, sorry, I disturbed you!”
Hugo’s mind still echoed with the shocking information Richelle had revealed. It wasn’t until Richelle drove towards her home that he made occasional exclamation. They parked the car under the building and got off, only then he finally collected his scattered thoughts. He followed Richelle upstairs after holding the gifts he bought for the three children.
“Richelle, you earn so much money, why are you living in such a rundown place?”
These few years, all the jobs Richelle has taken were through him, so he knows better than anyone how much money she’s made. It was enough to buy a private island.
Moreover, based on what she said earlier, it’s easy to imagine that her medical skills must be top-notch. Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly be the private doctor of Roy Lewis, who stands at the peak of the social pyramid. In other words, her income as a doctor must also be quite high.
“Ha ha, yes, don’t I need to raise a few children?”
Hugo couldn’t help but retort, “Are your children made of gold?”
Was she buying yachts as toys and spaceships as decorative items for her kids?
Richelle laughed heartily, “Yes, my babies are diamonds, raising them is very expensive!”
Actually, Richelle living here was about saving money to a certain extent, but that wasn’t the main reason.
The main reason was her special identity because living here was more inconspicuous, safer for her and her kids.
As Hugo followed her upstairs, he gradually took in the surroundings.
“You think it’s safer here, don’t you?”
Richelle didn’t respond, tacitly agreeing.
This large area was formerly a dormitory for a major industrial plant. After the property reform, the dormitories were bought by workers. The people living here are almost exclusively the old workers, and those who come and go are decent grassroots common people.
When she rented this house, she asked someone to inquire and confirmed that the surrounding environment had a high safety score before moving in.
Moreover, many of the old workers from this and nearby buildings moved to the new city district with their children. The older generations only occasionally returned to water the plants and ventilate the house. Therefore, she and her family rarely met her neighbors.
Hugo looked around and finally concluded that, apart from being old and worn out, the surroundings were quite nice.
“Richelle, if you need to, I can find you a safer and better place to live.”
Hugo felt somewhat regretful, knowing that she had been back for so many days yet he never asked about her living conditions.
“Thank you, if I need anything, 1 won’t be polite to you.”
Richelle pulled out her keys and opened the door. As soon as she stepped in, she saw three little ones, lined up and blinking at her.
“Mummy, what surprise did you bring for us?”
Richelle stepped aside and invited Hugo who was standing behind her in.
“Babies, this is Uncle Hugo, mummy’s colleague!”
The three children cheerfully greeted Hugo, “Hello uncle Hugo!”
Although Hugo had prepared himself, the sight of three identical, cute children who could talk was an impact incomparable to just seeing pictures.
He took a moment to regain his composure, bent down, and smiled at the children as he handed out his gifts.
“Hello babies, nice to meet you. These are small gifts, I hope you like them!”
Even though Hugo liked children, he didn’t have much experience with them. So, he instantly presented the gifts he brought to them upon entering the door.
The gifts for Timmy and Timothy were identical, while Tiffany’s gift was unique.
The children thanked him and reached out to accept the gifts.
Timothy curiously looked at him, “Uncle Hugo, are you also a doctor?”
Hugo quickly waved his hands, “No no no, Uncle Hugo is just a small internet cafe owner.”
As for their actual identities, nobody should talk about them, especially in front of children.
Timothy blinked, suddenly understanding something.
“Oh… 1 see, you’re Uncle Hugo Camrey!”
Hugo looked up at Richelle, “The baby knows me?”
Richelle smiled sheepishly and was about to explain when Timothy waved Hugo over. He bent down and Timothy leaned in close to his ear with a soft voice, dropping a big bombshell on him.
“Uncle Hugo, the task from the Textile Merchants Union three months ago, 1
did it!”
