Chapter 378 - 378: 374:1 really didn’t waste my effort on you!
Roy Lewis didn’t have any particular thoughts about this unexpected visit from his aunt and uncle. He just thought that the elders had finally found the time to meet two little grandchildren and a future daughter-in-law they hadn’t met yet.
But once things were almost settled, Nathan Caroule found time to mention something to him.
“Roy, Mrs. Green was asking about Dr. Dunn a few days ago.”
Roy Lewis was slightly taken aback, “Does Aunt have that much free time?”
Nathan Caroule gave him a glare, “You know well enough that Mr. and Mrs. Green have always treated you like their own son.”
So, this is the mother-in-law meeting the future daughter-in-law?
Previously, Roy had always believed that given Richelle’s qualifications, there was no reason for his aunt and uncle to dislike her. But now hearing Nathan’s words, he was no longer so sure.
He swiftly handed over his work to Nathan, then hurriedly returned home.
Then, seeing the scene before him, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
“Roy, you’re back?”
It was only then that Richelle spoke up. The three children had already run over to him. Timmy took the bag from his hand, and Timothy took the coat from his arm.
And Tifanny, she just gave him a red bean biscuit.
Roy Lewis gratefully hugged each child, saying, “Thanks, darlings.”
While uttering these words, he was secretly observing the atmosphere in the living room.
But even after intentionally focusing on it, the ambiance among the elders and Richelle in the living room was still harmonious and peaceful. Where was the intense atmosphere Nathan mentioned? It felt nothing like an interview scene.
He looked closely at Richelle’s expression. She was not a girl who would tolerate aggrievement. So if his aunt and uncle had asked anything offensive, she would probably show a somewhat distant, yet calm demeanor.
But the smile on Richelle’s face was gentle and natural, showing no sign of discomfort.
“Timmy, did you properly introduce mommy and your siblings to your uncle and aunt?”
After asking this, both sets of eyes met. Roy Lewis winked at him. Timmy seemed to understand his intent, pondered for a moment, and then replied to him.
“Auntie and mommy are chatting so happily with the siblings, and Uncle has been ordered by Auntie not to interrupt their women’s chat.”
Hearing his son say such a thing, half of Roy Lewis’s worries were put to rest.
Because he increasingly found that Timmy, this little guy, his protective attitude towards his mommy was growing day by day. So if anyone showed even a tiny bit of dissatisfaction towards Richelle, he would be able to accurately sense it and then, immediately come out to protect his dear mother.
Hearing Timmy’s words, Kennedy Green, with a laugh, continued the conversation.
“Roy, your return is just in time. I, along with Timmy and Timothy, were trying to even out the teams, but your aunt still ordered me to be quiet. Don’t we men have any rights?”
Roy Lewis laughed, “Uncle, just accept your fate. In our house, there’s no men’s rights, only women’s rights.”
Kennedy Green sighed, “So this means, there’s no hope for you either?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Yeah, you see, it’s all for family harmony. Normally in this house, the queens make the rules, and us few men, just carry out their orders.”
A few teasing words between nephew and uncle stirred up the lively atmosphere.
The doubts in Roy’s heart were mostly dispelled, so he went to wash up and change his clothes.
He saw Richelle checking Kennedy’s pulse and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What, Uncle, you’re trying to save on consulting fees?”
Maggie Mitchell laughed, “Yeah, this tight-fisted old man, is asking for a family discount.”
Kennedy Green stayed silent till Richelle was done checking his pulse, then he beckoned Timmy towards him.
“Come, you also check your uncle’s pulse.”
Maggie Mitchell was worried about hurting Timmy, she smiled and smacked him gently.
“Hey, old man, you can’t bully a child like this!”
Yet Timmy coolly shrugged, “It’s alright, daddy does these kinds of tests with me all the time!”
The plump little hand stretched out and rested on Kennedy Green’s wrist, as his lips pursed slightly and his eyes became quieter.
After a while, he simply said, “Alright, Uncle, you can pull your hand back now.”
Then, he reported a series of very professional pulse characteristics and at the end, he advised Kennedy Green in a serious tone.
“Uncle, you’ve recently been very exhausted. Your Kidney Yang is a bit deficient and your Qi and blood are somewhat deficient as well. You should let my mom prescribe some herbal medicine to nourish you.”
Maggie Mitchell burst into laughter, “See, old Green, I told you to sleep early. You didn’t believe me. How does it feel to be scolded by a little doctor?”
Kennedy Green smiled and nodded, “Feels pretty good. Even though I don’t understand pulse diagnoses much, I feel Timmy’s analysis is about right. Isn’t it, Richelle.”
Richelle Dunn smiled, “Yes, he got everything right.”
Richelle didn’t mention that this kind of pulse diagnosis was a piece of cake for Timmy two or three months ago.
“You see, even Master Seaton has spoken. Timmy is her most accomplished student, and this old man, who doesn’t understand anything, is still testing people.”
Kennedy Green ignored Maggie Mitchell and bowed slightly to thank Timmy.
“Thank you, Dr. Fu!”
Timmy actually maintained his cool demeanor, “No need to be so polite!”
He waited a moment and then added.
“Once I learn more from mom in the future, I’ll take over the responsibility for Uncle and Auntie’s health.”
Maggie Mitchell was overjoyed, she just had to pinch his cheek.
“Oh my, I really haven’t wasted my affection on you!”
