The examination staff quickly returned, and Richelie Dunn accompanied Roy Lewis for several detailed examinations, with the results coming out soon after.

Richelle’s brows relaxed a bit after reading the examination results.

Roy Lewis, hearing that it was nothing serious, thought he could go home.

But Richelle still insisted that Roy Lewis stay in the hospital for observation for two days.

“Even if I am by your side, our home still doesn’t have all the equipment and medicine we have here. Although it’s not as convenient here, at least we can 100% ensure your safety.”

In matters of life and death, Roy Lewis naturally couldn’t argue with her.

It was the same for both their personal life and professional careers.

However, even with Roy Lewis staying in the hospital, his level of busyness was not much different from being at home.

Moreover, it was unknown who leaked the news of his injury, but at around 10 o’clock, two people arrived at the hospital whom neither Richelle nor Roy Lewis welcomed with open arms.

These two were Roy Lewis’s uncles.

Richelle had a poor impression of these elders in Roy’s family, so as a doctor, she gave them a very strict time limit.

“Roy needs to rest and recuperate. If you need to say something, please do it quickly, and leave in five minutes.”

A mixed look of anger and resentment flashed in the eyes of Sebastian Lewis and Aldo Lewis, but since they came to beg for help this time, they didn’t dare to say anything, even when Richelle didn’t leave them any face.

“Roy, we’ve been having some trouble with funding lately. Could you maybe advance some shares and dividends to us…?”

Ever since they last came to the house and insulted Richelle and their two children, Roy had started to purposely sabotage their foreign investments, causing them huge losses.

That they could hold out this long before coming to beg had already exceeded Roy’s expectations.

“I can’t help you with this.”

Roy Lewis directly refused in a single sentence.

“Roy, you can’t just turn a blind eye when your uncles are in such dire straits, can you?”

Roy Lewis pointed to Richelle, “Now I have to support my wife and three children, all four of them are money-eating monsters. How can I have any money to advance shares and dividends to you? Besides, last time I heard from Grandpa that you two seemed to have violated some family rules. Who knows if you two will have some of your shares withdrawn at the family meeting during the middle of the year? If I advance money to you now, won’t it be like throwing money down the drain?”

Sebastian’s face fell as he moved closer and fervently begged Roy Lewis.

“Roy, really, if you don’t help me, your second uncle, I might be as good as dead!”

Roy Lewis coldly looked at him, “Second uncle, I remember when I was a teenager, you always used to comfort me by saying that life and death were predetermined, so just face it calmly when the time comes.”

Only then did Richelle learn that their verbal attacks hadn’t only targeted little Timmy, but also a young Roy Lewis in the past.

Richelle’s heart ached for her man, and before Sebastian could say anything else after Roy finished, she immediately retorted.

“Don’t say that Roy is heartless. Even as a doctor, we can’t save everything. We doctors only save people, never animals.”

Roy Lewis heard this, and although his face remained expressionless, a hint of a smile appeared. He immediately echoed her words.

“Uncle Sebastian and Uncle Aldo, look, Richelle is in charge of our family now, even if I wanted to help you, I’m powerless.”

Moreover, he didn’t even want to help them at all.

Not only did Roy not want to help them, but he was also the one who had forced them into this desperate corner, swallowing their pride and seeking help from others.

Aldo, seeing Sebastian begging and achieving nothing, had no choice but to pluck up his courage and approach Roy Lewis.

“Roy, your connections are vast. Could you maybe help us by reaching out to the creditors and asking for a few months’ grace?”

Roy Lewis thought to himself, “Dream on!”

“Uncle Aldo, my connections are only this wide, and you guys have been alive for decades more than me, so your connections must be broader and more powerful than mine. But think about it, how could a person like me, who can’t even guarantee my own life and could be hit by someone at any time, have the ability to help you negotiate with creditors? If I really went, I’d be afraid of being chopped up. If it turns out that I’m not just an idiot but also crippled, would you help support me and my family, uncles?”

At these words from Roy Lewis, even Richelle wanted to laugh.

Seeing that no amount of persuasion would change Roy Lewis’s mind, Sebastian and Aldo sullenly turned to beg Richelle Dunn.

“Dr. Dunn, we were wrong in the past, please forgive us for our stupidity and crude words.”

As soon as Sebastian finished, Aldo chimed in.

“Yes, we were old and confused, our minds have gone bad and we’ve become blabbermouths. We never think before we speak, so please forgive us, Dr. Dunn!”

Richelle Dunn looked surprised, having never seen people so thick-skinned before, let alone so confidently so.

“Gentlemen, it’s not me who put you in this dire situation, and I’m not your creditor, so begging me is useless!”

Sebastian tried to say something, but Richelle glanced at her wristwatch and instantly became the stern and serious Dr. Dunn once more.

“Gentlemen, I’m sorry, but your visiting time is up. Please leave..”
