Chapter 124 - 120: You kissed me, just to comfort me!
Roy Lewis was already in a heavy mood, but at this moment, her blushing face restored his original nature and made him chuckle.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, using his fingertips to gently touch her cheek.
This touch did not have any romantic intentions, it was merely meant to comfort her.
However, the moment their skin made contact, both of them trembled. A delicate electric current flowed between their fingertips and cheeks.
Richelie Dunn quickly moved her hand away and stared at Roy Lewis, “Roy Lewis!”
Roy Lewis looked deeply into her eyes and whispered softly, “Good girl!”, then jumped out of the car and closed the door.
The car started and smoothly drove away from the parking lot.
Richelie Dunn, shocked by his gentle “good girl,” took a while to recover, lying in the back seat to rest, but how could she sleep?
Everything that had happened in the elevator and just now played over and over again in her mind like little movies.
It is said that in the dark, people’s senses are often magnified.
At this moment, her body seemed to still carry traces of his faint pine scent, and her body, her lips, distinctly remembered his warmth and touch.
She was a doctor, and she had some knowledge of human psychology. She was very clear that under the critical situation just now, Roy Lewis’ and her behavior could not be evaluated and analyzed from an ordinary perspective.
In other words, Roy Lewis’ embrace and kiss in the elevator were nothing more than an optimal behavioral choice made out of necessity under a unique environment.
As for her extreme dependence on him in the elevator and her response to his kiss, these too were merely special reactions under a state of panic and desperation for survival. At that moment, if it had been someone else extending a friendly hand to her, she might have responded similarly.
Thinking about this, Richelle Dunn adjusted her seat a bit higher, staring at Roy Lewis, who was concentrating on driving, she finally broke the silence and said.
“Roy Lewis…”
Roy Lewis glanced at her worriedly in the rearview mirror, “Are you feeling unwell? We will arrive soon.”
Richelle Dunn didn’t like vagueness or guessing, and she didn’t want Roy Lewis to misunderstand anything.
After considering her words carefully, she slowly expressed her gratitude.
“Thank you just now!”
Roy Lewis looked at her meaningfully in the rearview mirror, remaining silent.
Richelle Dunn continued, “I know that under such circumstances, if it were someone else, you would still extend a helping hand out of humanity.”
Richelle Dunn knew very well that from the first time they met, Roy Lewis had been wary of her, fearing that she had ulterior motives and that she was cunning and treacherous.
Would he think that after the events in the elevator, she was trying to take advantage of him?
“I was genuinely terrified just then, so I might have done something I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry.”
Roy Lewis clenched the steering wheel, the car stopped at a red light, and he turned to stare at her in the meantime.
She was wrong. If it had been someone else, he would have helped, of course, but he would never have gone this far.
As for her, did she purposely say that in order to tell him that even if someone else had reached out to help her, she would have had the same response?
“Richelle Dunn, are you trying to tell me not to overthink?”
Roy Lewis didn’t know what was wrong with him. In theory, her bringing it up should be a good thing for him.
Otherwise, if he had helped her and then she latched onto him, it would indeed be a pain in the ass.
However, her hurried explanation and denial upset him.
With the light behind him, Richelle Dunn couldn’t see his eyes clearly. However, she could sense his anger from his tone and the sudden murderous atmosphere he exuded.
“Mr. Lewis, 1 won’t misunderstand! Your kiss was just to comfort me, and there was no other meaning.”
Her deliberate emphasis indirectly gave Roy Lewis an answer that couldn’t be more certain.
But it directly shattered some vague and unformed thoughts in Roy’s mind with a loud ‘bang’.
Roy Lewis’s emotions had always been as calm as a lake, and there weren’t many people or things that could make him feel emotional.
However, Richelle Dunn repeatedly and unintentionally, with just a simple sentence, could make him so angry that he felt like he was going to explode.
But considering she had just been through a massive scare and her emotions were already fluctuating, even if he wanted to beat her up right now, he could only hold it in.
The car behind them honked its horn, as the red light turned green. Roy looked at her meaningfully then turned his head back, grabbed the steering wheel, and looked ahead. As he drove, he said indifferently,
“Think whatever you want!”
Richelle was even more puzzled. She had explained everything, but why did he seem even more unhappy now?
Richelle stared at Roy, who radiated an “avoid me at all costs” murderous aura. As she stared, her eyelids grew heavier, her mind started to slow down, and eventually, she lowered her seat a bit, pulled up the blanket, and slowly closed her eyes.
As long as he didn’t get so angry that he wouldn’t let her see her eldest son, she didn’t care.
The hospital was about half an hour’s drive from the library. Roy drove in front while Richelle in the backseat finally stopped talking and saying things that annoyed him.
Feeling irritated, when the car stopped at a red light, he turned his head to look back without thinking.
The result was that Richelle, the person who made his mood plummet, was actually sleeping soundly with the blanket over her.
Roy couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
She was indeed a heartless and ruthless woman!
Realizing that getting angry at her was useless anyway, Roy’s mood gradually calmed down as he drove her beat-up car, taking her to the hospital.
Although her little car was registered at the hospital, the security guard would still check the driver’s seat when he let the car in.
When he saw it was Roy inside the car, he was quite surprised.
Roy was a big boss here at the hospital, and it wasn’t a secret.
He wasn’t flashy, but he always had a chauffeur and luxury car to pick him up and drop him off.
At this moment, the big boss was driving a small registered car with someone lying in the back seat.
Who was this important person in the car?
They actually had the big boss personally taking them?
Roy didn’t care what others thought. He drove Richelie’s car, smoothly weaving through the various twists and turns to enter the hospital’s special parking area for the higher-ups.
After parking the car, he looked at Richelle, who was sleeping deeply in the back seat, and called Mr. Chapman.
“Mr. Chapman, Dr. Dunn is sick. Get a bed ready.”
Mr. Chapman was startled and personally supervised two directors to bring the bed down.
“Master Lewis, what happened to Dr. Dunn? Is she seriously ill?”
Roy leaned against the car with his legs crossed and waited for the bed to be brought over. Without answering Mr. Chapman, he turned around, opened the back door, and went in. Soon, he came out holding a sleepy Richelle.
Mr. Chapman and the two directors were shocked to the point that their eyes almost popped out!
What was going on?
How could Master Lewis, who was always indifferent to women, be holding Dr. Dunn so intimately?
And with Dr. Dunn’s soft and weak appearance, could it be that Master Lewis had done unspeakable things to her and now they had to rush her to the hospital?
[A pair of fools]
