Chapter 244: Chapter 240: I’m leaving with Dr. Dunn and my younger siblings! Take care, Dad!
Translator: 549690339
When Roy Lewis asked this question, his heart was bleeding.
He never thought that his first love in life, the first time he opened his heart so defenselessly to accept someone, would turn out to be a complete scam!
All the sincerity he paid in the past two months, all of it, was wasted!
Just a day ago, she was still smiling sweetly at him, caring about him deeply.
At that time, she was still his doctor and his default girlfriend, Richelle Dunn. But a day later, she became the resurrected Richelle Dunn of the Dunn family, having nothing to do with him at all.
“Roy Lewis, don’t you think that whatever I say now, you’ll think I’m just making excuses?”
This Richelle, at the moment, was full of indignation, and it seemed, somewhat sorrowful.
But to him, it was just laughable.
“Yes!”
Her acting skills were too good, she could deceive not only the entire Dunn family but also Timmy. Even he, who prided himself on being a human-recognition machine, was fooled by her!
Her indignation was all an act, as was her sorrow.
“Richelle Dunn, I’ll ask you one more time, did you get close to me and Timmy to take revenge on the Dunns?”
Richelle’s face was full of sadness, and she sneered with a laugh.
“Roy Lewis, I didn’t!”
Even if she denied it, Roy Lewis clearly no longer believed her.
He smiled, but this smile did not reach his eyes.
“Then did you plan to take revenge on Jayden Dunn and his family?”
Richelle answered this time with a couple of bitter laughs.
“Yes!”
“Jayden Dunn ruined my family, caused the separation of flesh and blood, and I almost died in the wilderness. Is it wrong for me to want revenge?”
Richelle felt extreme sadness in her heart, never thinking that the misfortunes she had suffered would one day become a weapon for Roy Lewis to accuse and hurt her.
Roy Lewis sneered as well, casting his gaze at her like a sharp blade.
“Hmm, you’re not wrong. The mistake is mine!”
Richelle only felt intense pain throughout her body, the cold seeping from her bones and making her shiver.
This feeling was too similar to her experience lying on the bed in that broken house five years ago.
But at that time, it was her body on the verge of death.
Now, it was her heart that died!
She endured the pain, biting her lip, and even though her heart was full of humiliation and suffocation, she still wanted to fight for one more chance to live!
“Roy Lewis, things are not what you think. Can’t we calm down and sort things out one by one?”
All along, she had been cautious and calculative, gradually making her way to where she was today.
She thought that as long as she told the truth about the events of a few years ago, she and the three children could appear before Roy Lewis with a clear conscience.
But things went off track, deviating severely from her expectations.
“No need!” Roy Lewis coldly rejected her, then bent down and handed a piece of paper from the coffee table to Richelle. “This is a check for US$ 68,340,550, which will cover all your salary for these two months!”
Richelle did not take the check, but stared at him incredulously.
“Roy Lewis, do you think I’m just doing all this for money?”
Roy Lewis stared at her with suppressed anger in his eyes, “Of course you’re not just doing it for money! You’re doing it for revenge on Jayden Dunn, but how you do that has nothing to do with me. If you dare to touch a hair on Timmy’s head, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Richelle felt the cold ruthlessness in his eyes, scorching through her entire body. So, in his eyes, she had become an unforgivable villain!
She held back her tears, trying to muster a smile for him.
“Roy Lewis, one day, you will regret this!”
Roy Lewis was someone who couldn’t be swayed once he made up his mind.
And Richelle’s threatening words had completely enraged him!
He stood up abruptly, with a cold face, and slammed the check into Richelle’s face.
“Richelle Dunn, get out!”
Richelle leaned her face up, looking at him with solemn eyes, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and determinedly said.
“Roy Lewis, you will regret this!”
After speaking, she picked up the check from the sofa, glanced at the amount, and chuckled scornfully.
“Roy Lewis, don’t worry, I’ll take care of the kids, and as for you, take good care of yourself!”
Richelle, holding the check, shrugged off her earlier sorrow and dejection. She raised her head, her smile arrogant and flamboyant, striding out like a queen with her head held high and chest out.
Upon closing the door, Roy felt a headache as if his head was about to explode and collapsed onto the sofa.
He leaned back on the sofa with his head up and eyes closed, taking his time to catch his breath. Eventually, he pulled open the drawer of the coffee table with difficulty, took out some painkillers he had stopped using for quite some time, squeezed two out and swallowed them with tea.
The medication worked quickly, and he calmly walked out of the study as he usually did after handling chores.
Uncle Axel had already prepared breakfast and hurriedly approached Roy in a low voice when he saw him.
“Master, why did Dr. Dunn leave?”
“She had an emergency!”
Roy made sure to speak a bit louder, so Timmy, who was sitting on the sofa, could hear.
Timmy was used to his mommy having urgent matters occasionally, so he didn’t ask much, only worriedly asking his dad at breakfast.
“Daddy, aren’t you having your acupuncture treatment today?”
Roy had already thought of a reply, “Hmm, Dr. Dunn said the second course is over, so we’re taking a few days off.”
Timmy didn’t doubt him and ate his breakfast quietly.
When they were almost done eating, Roy said to Timmy, “By the way, Dr. Dunn has something to do today and won’t be home. Plus, it’s raining heavily outside, so don’t go over there.”
Although Timmy was reluctant, he glanced at the lightning, thunder, and heavy rain outside the dining room and nodded reluctantly.
Roy had just suffered a massive blow, experiencing emotional hurt he had never encountered before.
But still, he carried on like nothing was wrong, as usual, dealing with piles of urgent tasks in his study.
At first, Timmy sat with him in the study, reading. But later, he said he wanted to go to the playroom and watch some medical PPT presentations.
Roy paid little attention to him and let him go to the playroom on his own.
At lunch, Timmy was a bit quiet, occasionally stealing glances at Roy.
But Roy, preoccupied with his thoughts, didn’t notice that his increasingly talkative son had hardly spoken a word today.
At dinner, Timmy brought it up again.
“Daddy, you said you’d let Dr. Dunn be my mommy!”
Roy forced himself to snap out of his gloom and patted his son’s head.
“Baby, we’ll take it slow!”
For now, he didn’t dare to tell his son the truth.
The son’s dependence and trust in Richelle were no less than his father’s.
For the time being, he couldn’t think of a way to keep his son from getting hurt.
The only temporary solution was to stall!
Timmy looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then said “Oh,” surprisingly not pushing further and simply lowered his head to eat obediently.
Around nine in the evening, Roy went to his son’s bedroom to tell him a bedtime story. While Timmy was drowsy, he suddenly reached out his chubby little hand, wrapped it around Roy’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek with a “smack.”
“Daddy, I love you!”
His son’s soft and cooing voice slightly rippled the stagnant waters in Roy’s heart.
He smiled and kissed his son’s forehead gently, saying softly,
“Baby, Daddy loves you too!”
The next morning, it was half-past seven, and Timmy hadn’t come downstairs yet. Uncle Axel wanted to call for him, but Roy stood up.
‘Til go.”
As he pushed open his son’s bedroom door, he found the bed empty.
He thought Timmy must be in the bathroom.
“Timmy!”
As he called out and walked in, he found a note neatly folded at the foot of the bed.
He picked up the note casually and saw a single line written on it.
“Daddy, I’ve left with Dr. Dunn and my siblings, take care of yourself!”
[Cough, finally ran away! My dear readers, don’t panic, believe in Master Lewis, he’s not a pushover!]
