nChapter 682: Chapter 678: Trying to Anger the Old Master to Death

nMr. Lewis had returned to his old home to host a few old friends for the past few days, intending to return to his great-grandchildren after the gathering.

nHowever, the next call from the housekeeper brought news of Mr. Lewis having a heart attack due to his anger.

nThe family was having dinner together when Roy Lewis received the call on speakerphone.

nRoy Lewis’s face turned green with anger, but he refrained from losing his temper in front of the children.

nUpon hearing the news that Mr. Lewis had been taken to the hospital, Richelle Dunn abruptly put down her bowl.

n“Roy, you stay home with the kids, and I’ll go check on him at the hospital,” she said.

nGivien his current condition, Roy Lewis naturally couldn’t leave the house. Reluctantly, he sent Richelle off, reminding her to be careful on the way.

nWhen Richelle Dunn returned to the hospital, Mr. Lewis had just been rushed to the emergency room.

nRichelle Dunn changed her clothes and entered the emergency room, where the attending physician greeted her first and then reassured her.

n“Don’t worry, the family doctor’s emergency measures were rather effective. There won’t be any danger to his life.”

nRichelle Dunn nodded, simply observing without interfering with the doctors’ work.

nAfter the resuscitation efforts were over, Mr. Lewis was still unconscious. He was transferred to the ICU for 24-hour monitoring.

nRichelle Dunn returned to her office and dialed Roy Lewis’s number.

n“Roy, don’t worry, Grandfather is fine. I’ll stay here tonight so that when he wakes up, he will at least have a family member by his side.”

nRoy Lewis, though concerned for Richelle, knew that she was right.

nHe acknowledged, “Richelle, thank you for your hard work.”

nRichelle Dunn initially held a grudge against Mr. Lewis due to his prejudice against her.

nHowever, after spending some time together, she discovered that beneath the prejudice, Mr. Lewis was a very open and tolerant elder.

nHis initial contempt for her was simply borne out of his excessive protection for his family, which had led to a hostility and prejudice against her.

nAfter a few months of living together, once they dropped their prejudices, Richelle Dunn considered the old man as her own grandfather.

n“Roy, talking like this is superfluous. After you put the kids to sleep later, remember to take your new medicine.”

nRoy Lewis’s health had improved quite a lot. These two days, Richelle Dunn had adjusted his medication, which now included a new proprietary medicine, along with a decoction before bed.

nHe needed to take these an hour before sleeping. The previous two nights, Richelle Dunn had reminded him to take them.

nNow, with Richelle not by his side, she reminded him in advance.

nThe two of them chatted a bit more before hanging up.

nThroughout the night, Richelle Dunn made several visits to the ICU, closely monitoring Mr. Lewis’s various data and signs of physical changes.

nBy around four in the morning, when Mr. Lewis’s various values were close to standard, Richelle Dunn finally laid down on the small bed in her office to rest.

nA little past seven in the morning, a nurse knocked on the door from outside.

n“Dr. Dunn, Mr. Lewis is awake!”

nRichelle Dunn quickly got up, quickly washed up, and left while tying her hair.

nThe old housekeeper was still standing in the corridor. Seeing Richelle Dunn, he came forward.

n“Dr. Dunn, the old master is awake!”

nRichelle Dunn patted the back of the old housekeeper’s hand, “Yes, Grandfather is blessed and has already recovered.”

nThe old housekeeper, who had spent decades by Mr. Lewis’s side, saw him as his world.

nOvernight, the old housekeeper seemed to have aged by a decade.

nOnce she had comforted him, Richelle Dunn changed into sterile clothing and entered the ICU.

nMr. Lewis was still wearing an oxygen mask. Seeing Richelle Dunn enter, his dull eyes recovered some of their sparkle.

nRichelle Dunn walked over and held Mr. Lewis’s wrinkled hand.

nMr. Lewis’s lip trembled as he said something.

nRichelle Dunn removed his oxygen mask and heard Mr. Lewis’s weak voice.

n“Richelle, I’m sorry… for causing you so much trouble…”

nThe housekeeper hadn’t been very clear on the phone the night before, but after coming out of the emergency room, he explained everything to Richelle Dunn.

nRichelle Dunn did not blame Mr. Lewis but loathed Alexander Lewis for spreading such rumors. Clearly, he wanted to anger Mr. Lewis to death.

n“Grandpa, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. The most important thing now is for you to recover. The kids are still waiting for you to play chess and swim with them.”

nSpeaking of which, Mr. Lewis’s physical strength was quite remarkable.

nOccasionally, he could leisurely swim a few dozen meters in the swimming pool with the three children.

nHowever, these unfilial sons and grandsons apparently hoped for him to pass away sooner!

nRichelle Dunn was not Mr. Lewis, but when she thought about herself in his position, she felt an incredible chill.

nIn her stomach was a heavy load of criticism for Alexander Lewis.

nBut she knew that criticizing him in front of Mr. Lewis would only embarrass him and make him feel more uncomfortable.

nHence, she didn’t mention Alexander Lewis at all.

nMr. Lewis’s trembling hand held onto Richelle’s hand as he added another sentence.

n“Wait… for… Roy… to… deal with him…”

nThat was the old man’s promise.

nRichelle nodded, “Understood. Don’t worry about it too much. Eat and drink as you should. We’re here to take care of everything related to the Lewis family business.”
