Chapter 351 - 351: 347: She Seems, a Little Angry with
For the past two or three days, Roy Lewis had been unable to contact Richelle Dunn, not even a few fleeting seconds that were only enough to leave a brief voice message.
Initially, he could call the embassy to catch up on the situation, but early this morning when he tried again, all he got was the busy signal.
Roy’s heart was filled with anxiety and worry, so he had no choice but to use alternative means to contact his foreign friends. Through numerous twists and turns, he was able to obtain a little bit of information about the local situation.
Naturally, the information he learned about the situation there was worse than what he heard on the news, even taking his status into account.
However, fortunately, the location of the previous bombing was quite far from the hospital, so the possibility of the explosion affecting it was almost zero.
Moreover, the message relayed by his friend stated that they hadn’t heard of any abnormal incidents happening at the hospital, just that it was extremely busy with every medical staff member working overtime.
Every day, the injured were continuously brought in, and even a big nearby parking lot had been covered with temporary tents to accommodate the lightly injured patients.
Roy tried to ask his friend to send some supplies to Richelle, but the friend told him that local supplies were already scarce. However, the hospital sector was where supplies were most abundant, so there should be no need to worry about food and warmth.
In his thirty years of life, Roy had never been so anxious, constantly thinking about someone like this.
Worst of all, this anxiety and concern were unable to reach her.
Even though he still took the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by Richelle every day for the past few days, he could no longer sleep soundly through the night like before.
Instead, he would wake up in the middle of the night, thinking about how Richelle was faring in a foreign land, and he’d find it hard to fall back asleep.
Because he hadn’t been sleeping well for several days, Roy appeared less energetic during the day when he returned to the company.
Nathan Caroule knew about his situation and worriedly asked him when he saw him back at the office.
“What’s going on? Still no news from Dr. Dunn?”
Roy looked solemn and shook his head, “No, I can’t get in touch with anyone.”
Nathan could only worry about the situation, but he was powerless to help, so he could just offer some comforting words.
“You don’t have to worry. Their group is part of an international organization, so their personal safety should be guaranteed.”
In that kind of environment, having safety guaranteed was the biggest blessing. Everything else seemed insignificant compared to life itself.
“Yes, I can rest easy about that. I just feel uneasy since we can’t make contact.”
In Roy’s opinion, even if he could only hear her voice saying that she was fine, it would already put his uneasy heart at ease.
Unfortunately, the current situation over there made even such a simple desire seem like a luxury.
Nathan was somewhat surprised, as Roy wasn’t one to readily admit to negative emotions.
After all, he needed to maintain a strong image in front of other people.
But because of Richelle, Master Lewis’s tough protective shield had cracked.
“I heard there’s an intention to stop the fighting over there, so don’t worry too much, Master Lewis. Maybe by this afternoon, the situation will clear up.”
In this regard, Roy actually knew more than Nathan, so he couldn’t be as optimistic as him.
Most importantly, the person he loved and valued the most was there. No matter how the situation improved, with the terrible environment over there, he couldn’t help but feel worried.
Of course, he couldn’t keep talking about his concerns with others all the time.
For one thing, mentioning it wouldn’t solve the underlying problem.
For another thing, he didn’t want to be seen as overly anxious.
“Alright, you can get back to work. If Ms. Munni has any updates, make sure to notify me immediately.”
For some reason, Roy always felt that when Richelle left, her mood wasn’t quite right, or rather, she seemed to be a little upset with him.
Although Roy couldn’t think of anything he’d done to make her angry no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake that feeling from his heart.
While Nathan thought this was a bit strange, as even if Dr. Dunn was best friends with his sister Denise, they were only best friends.
In such a chaotic situation, it would be rare to have contact with the outside world. The first thing people would do is to contact their loved ones or children. Why would they contact their best friend?
However, he didn’t dare to say these things out loud.
He simply nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll let her know.”
After Nathan left, Roy tried to focus on his work.
Recently, Sebastian and Aldo Lewis caused trouble for Richelle and Timothy and Tifanny, so Roy investigated their assets and various aspects in detail.
Of course, these were things he would do before, but he would not investigate as thoroughly. As long as some issues weren’t too blatant, he would usually turn a blind eye to them.
But since the elders were being so brazen a few days ago, Roy decided it was time to teach them a lesson.
Elizabeth Lewis had already left the country a few days before because she was having problems with some overseas investments, so Roy was just waiting for her to return and plead for his help, crying and howling.
As for Sebastian and Aldo, Roy was preparing enough evidence so that they wouldn’t even have the chance to cry and beg for his help.
By being busy, his worries were temporarily put aside, and so he worked until lunchtime.
Someone knocked on the door from outside, and Roy casually said, “Come in!”
Sherrina Kingston entered, holding several files in her hand.
“Roy, the director asked me to bring these files up.. What do you want for lunch? Shall we eat together?”
