Chapter 170: Chapter 166: I’m her biological son, of course she cares about me!
Translator: 549690339
Richelle knew she had no place to talk Roy out of it, but she didn’t want her eldest son to be dragged into the old grudge between her and the Dunn family.
When Kiara took her eldest son away years ago, it had been their only option. At that time, Richelle had no ability to protect herself, let alone protect her eldest son.
But now, she didn’t want her eldest son to be hurt again because of the past.
Be it hatred or repaying blood debts, she hoped that it would start and end with her, and not drag her innocent and defenseless children into it.
Richelle held her son’s hand tightly, “Baby, can we not go?”
This precious son, whom she had lost and found again, she didn’t want to risk losing him again.
Timmy looked at her seriously, and from her eyes, he saw her love and worry.
He stretched out his chubby hand and touched her face, his tone gentler and softer than usual.
“Daddy will be with me, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
Apparently, the little one had sensed her worry and was trying to reassure her.
The thoughtfulness and care of her son made Richelle even more upset.
“Your daddy doesn’t know anything, he might…”
The mother and her children had always remained silent about the secret they kept from Roy.
But this secret had also become a dangerous unknown factor, which could explode at any time.
In other matters, Richelle was always daring and brave, but when it came to her children, she never took risks.
Timmy didn’t know what his mom was worried about, but he could be sure of one thing; she didn’t seem to have enough trust in his dad.
“Don’t worry, Daddy will protect me!”
Timmy was different from her; he spent day and night with Roy. Even though Roy had lacked companionship and attention in the past, Timmy still sensed that his daddy truly loved him.
So, he believed that his dad, like his mom, wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.
Richelle didn’t doubt Roy’s ability to protect their son, but she was worried that Roy might allow the Dunns to hurt him for various reasons, even unintentionally.
Seeing that she couldn’t convince her son, she decided to carefully hint at Roy when he came back after finishing his phone call.
“Didn’t you say that Kiara wanted to hurt Timmy last time? Aren’t you afraid of her dirty tricks when you bring him to see her this time?”
If Kiara was really insane, that would be one thing, but what if she was only half-insane or pretending to be insane?
Although Timmy was smart, he was still only four years old and had neither social experience nor the ability to protect himself.
Roy knew Richelle treated Timmy like her own son, so her concern was understandable.
Her worried expression also showed that she really saw Timmy as her own child.
“Rest assured, neither Kiara nor the Dunns will harm even a single hair on Timmy as long as I’m here.”
Richelle was helpless.
After all, in Roy’s eyes, she was merely Timmy’s teacher or nanny, no matter how good she was to him. She had no right or qualification to stop or interfere in any of Timmy’s actions.
Having no other choice, she could only take Timmy to the balcony when Roy fell asleep after his acupuncture treatment. She set him on a chair, squatted in front of him, and repeatedly urged him to prioritize safety and not take any risks.
Timmy stared at her. There were some things he had held in his heart for a long time and had never dared to ask.
Now, hearing Richelle’s repeated and worried reminders, he couldn’t help but ask her.
“Is that crazy woman, Kiara, the bad guy who took me away?”
Richelle was taken aback. She had a clear answer in her heart, but she knew that both Timmy and Timothy had the desire to protect her.
So, if she explicitly told them that it was Megan Linwood and Kiara who had taken him away in the past, they might impulsively do something behind her back.
Thinking of this, Richelle became even more worried.
She touched Timmy’s face and whispered.
“There are some things I’m not sure about, but trust me, I won’t let any of those bad guys go. And you and your brother and sister, you all need to be well, understand?”
Richelle knew that there were consequences for everything.
If seeking revenge would hurt the children, she would rather let it all go and not pursue it any further!
Timmy looked at her quietly for a while, then leaned forward, and gently hugged Richelle with his little hands.
“My brother, sister, and I will be fine…”
He didn’t fully understand what was on his mommy’s mind, but the determination and unchanging love in her eyes assured him that no matter how much hardship he had been through, she would help him get it all back!
Richelle got the promise from the father and son duo, but her heart was still uneasy.
However, she had no choice but to accept reality as she couldn’t stop their decision no matter how hard she tried.
She postponed the acupuncture treatment for Hugo Camrey’s mother until Roy Lewis woke up, and she personally escorted the father and son to the car.
As they said their farewells, she repeatedly told Roy to take good care of Timmy.
Roy wasn’t the least bit impatient; he listened carefully to her advice, knowing she felt uneasy. He reached out to pat her head to comfort her.
However, Richelle leaned back just enough to avoid his touch perfectly.
A hint of amusement flashed in Roy’s eyes, and after a deep look at her, he retreated his hand and pinched his son’s cheek.
“Don’t worry; I’ll bring Timmy back safe and sound.”
Finally, the car started, and the father and son duo turned their heads to watch Richelle, who was standing still, gradually getting smaller. The car turned a corner, and her figure disappeared completely from sight.
Timmy leaned against Roy, his little face facing outwards, lost in thought.
Roy, fearing he was feeling suffocated, gently prodded him.
“Sweetie, do you think Dr. Dunn is being too controlling?”
In the past, his son had been quite rebellious, refusing to listen to anyone. However, Timmy had been surprisingly well-behaved under Richelle’s care.
Timmy turned his head, looked seriously at his father, and said:
“I don’t think so!”
Roy had been concerned that Richelle’s strictness might provoke his son’s rebellious side and thought that if his son showed any signs of resistance, he should address it right away.
But now hearing his son speak like this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Timmy thought his father might disapprove of Richelle for being too controlling. He pondered for a moment and then added:
“Dr. Dunn is only like this because she cares about me and worries about me. If something happened to me, she would be heartbroken!”
Roy silently marveled at how much his son had grown up. “Yes, she really does care about you.”
Timmy rolled his eyes in his heart.
Of course, I’m her own son; of course, she cares about me!
“Daddy, do you care about my brother and sister?”
Timmy used to feel very pitiful, with his father not loving him, and his mother neglecting him.
But now, he thought that his brother and sister were actually even more unfortunate than him.
His father and mother loved him now.
But his brother and sister, even though they longed to see their father, could only see him for a short time each day.
And even if they desperately wanted to call him “Daddy,” they could only address him as “Uncle” and couldn’t even reveal their true identities.
Roy was a bit surprised to hear this, but considering the close relationship between Timmy, Timothy, and Tifanny, he didn’t find it surprising at all.
“Of course Daddy cares, just like how Dr. Dunn cares about you..”
