Chapter 151 - 147* Master Lewis isn’t acting cute, clearly, he’s confessing!
Soon enough, news of these incidents at the mansion reached Roy’s ears.
Worried that his son might be hurt, Roy quickly made a video call.
As soon as the call connected, he saw his beloved son with red, teary eyes, yet smiling at him.
“Daddy, are you coming home now?”
Roy hadn’t seen his son looking so pitiful in a long time, and it broke his heart.
“I’ll come home a bit later, what happened? Did Jayden pick on you?”
In the past, Timmy rarely addressed Jayden as ‘grandfather’, and Roy had even lectured him about it.
Now, Roy felt from the bottom of his heart that the Dunns were truly undeserving!
“No way! I’m not that easy to bully! He asked me to forgive his daughter, and I said sure, as long as he chops off his hand!”
Although little Master’s eyes were still somewhat red, he seemed full of excitement while talking with his daddy.
For a moment, Roy didn’t know what to say.
According to the Lewis family’s education method, when treated unfairly, they would take revenge in an even more ruthless manner. This principle had guided Roy all these years.
Timmy, however, was still a child, and from what he said, his thoughts seemed genuine and not just casual remarks.
Roy couldn’t help but reflect on himself. Was there really no problem with the family’s education method?
Master Lewis on the screen seemed to perceive his father’s thoughts as he noticed his silence.
■■Dad, am I wrong for doing this? Dr. Dunn taught me and my siblings that there are different standards of treating people in this world. We should be kind to genuine people, but ruthless and cruel to animals and beasts. Only then can good people thrive.”
Upon hearing those words, Roy let out a long sigh.
Yes, didn’t he believe in the same ideology as Richelie when it came to treating people?
Why had he suddenly become so indecisive?
“You’re right. We should be kind to those who are good to us and deal with those who bully us assertively to prevent them from doing evil. But Timmy, you’re still young. Leave dealing with the bad people to me, and you just focus on learning and growing happily.”
Little Master chuckled, “I knew it! Daddy and Dr. Dunn are the best! Roy looked at his son’s bright, innocent smile, and his heart finally settled.
Master Lewis, now standing beside them, smiled at Roy.
“Roy, Timmy’s actions earlier reminded me of when you handled those bullies at the age of seven or eight. Indeed, none of the Lewis family descendants are cowards!”
Roy took a closer look at the old man and saw his face glowing and spirited, showing no signs of discomfort.
“Grandpa, are you feeling better now?”
Master Lewis nodded happily, “Ah, with this caring little great-grandson by my side, I’m fine! You’re off for a check-up, right? Hurry up, don’t waste any time. Finish your business and come back for Timmy.”
“What about tonight…?”
Roy meant that if the old man’s condition wasn’t great, they could let Timmy stay a bit longer.
But Master Lewis waved his hand, interrupting him.
“I’ve made plans with my old friends to go fishing tonight, and everything is already prepared. You can just come pick up Timmy later.
Roy had seen his grandfather in a terrible mood before, particularly around the anniversary of his father’s death, when he would be engulfed in gloom for nearly ten days.
And now, after only half a day, suddenly everything was bright and clear. Timmy really knew how to handle things.
“Alright, I guess I’ll go over there around four. If you’re pressed for time, you can have Mrs. Collins keep him company while waiting for me.”
Master Lewis nodded and chatted for a bit more before hanging up the call.
When Roy arrived at the hospital, he happened to see Richelie accompanying Mrs. Camrey as they laughed and chatted while walking out of the ward.
Roy Lewis approached and greeted Mrs. Camrey with a nod.
“Mrs. Camrey!”
Mrs. Camrey was a bit surprised and instinctively glanced at Richelie Dunn before smiling at Roy Lewis.
“Mr. Lewis, long time no see!”
Due to his health, Roy Lewis had declined almost all large and small banquets and gatherings in the past two years. So when Mrs. Camrey said “long time no see,” it wasn’t just a polite remark, but a fact.
Roy Lewis made a sound of agreement and then looked at Richelie Dunn. “Mrs. Camrey’s condition has improved quite a bit, right?”
Richelie Dunn nodded, “Yes, it’s just that it has been a long time, so the acupuncture treatment will need to be relatively longer.
At this point, Mrs. Camrey couldn’t stop praising Richelle Dunn.
“Richelie’s skills are truly extraordinary. Today is only my second day, but I can already feel that my stiff neck has loosened up a lot, and I slept better last night than before.”
Before Richelle Dunn could respond, Roy Lewis nodded in agreement.
“Yes, her skills are not something an ordinary person could possess. I’ve been receiving treatment for almost a month, and I feel like I have been reborn. Richelle Dunn felt a bit awkward being praised by her two patients on the spot. She cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Lewis, are you here for a checkup? Mr. Chapman is waiting for you in his office.”
After saying this, she turned to Mrs. Camrey and asked, “Auntie, do you want me to walk you out?”
Mrs. Camrey was a person who understood propriety and didn’t want to occupy any more of Richelle’s time, knowing she was Roy Lewis’s doctor.
“No need, no need. My driver is waiting for me downstairs. You go and attend to your work.”
Mrs. Camrey turned to say goodbye to Roy Lewis, “Mr. Lewis, let’s chat again when you have some free time!”
At Mrs. Camrey’s insistence, Richelle Dunn only accompanied her to the elevator. Watching the elevator doors close, she turned back towards the Dean’s office.
Roy Lewis was drinking tea and listening to Mr. Chapman report on some recent important events at the hospital.
Richelle Dunn was about to leave out of courtesy, but Roy Lewis raised his chin to gesture for her to sit down.
Richelle Dunn spread her hands, “You guys go ahead and chat, I’ll go change my clothes.”
Roy Lewis simply grabbed her arm and pulled her back, “Sit down and give some opinions.”
Richelle Dunn was quite helpless, “Mr. Lewis, treating patients and saving lives is my forte, but running a hospital is something I know nothing about.” However, Roy Lewis did not agree with her, “There are pros and cons to having a layman manage things. More often than not, it requires a balance between the manager and the medical staff through communication, so that the hospital can achieve sustainable and healthy development.”
Richelle Dunn had no choice but to sit down. She listened to the dean talk about financial balance, talent recruitment, and other things. In the end, she didn’t offer any opinions, but Roy Lewis occasionally gave some comments or suggestions for improvement. He didn’t sound like a layman at all.
While the dean was still talking, the director in charge of Roy Lewis’s checkup walked in.
“Master Lewis, everything is ready.”
Roy Lewis made a sound of acknowledgement, got up, but did not hurry to leave. Instead, he looked down at Richelle Dunn, who was still sitting on the sofa.
Richelle Dunn looked at him curiously, “You go ahead!”
Roy Lewis looked disappointed, “Aren’t you going to accompany me?” Richelle Dunn rolled her eyes, while Mr. Chapman and the director immediately activated their gossip radar, trying their best to search for any juicy details.
“Mr. Lewis, a checkup is done with a machine, I don’t need to be there. However, Roy Lewis confidently said, “You are my main doctor. I feel more at ease with you by my side.”
Mr. Chapman and the director both took a deep breath at the same time.
Holy cow, is Master Lewis showing off his charm?
Oh, no, this isn’t just him showing off his charm, it’s clearly a confession!
