Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 631: Chapter 627: Husband, I will wait for you to come back!

Richelle Dunn never thought that Roy Lewis would propose in such a way.

Neither did Roy Lewis himself.

Once, he had planned how to propose.

But an unexpected car accident followed by a hospital bed and wheelchair companionship, all his marriage proposal plans were abruptly ended.

He always felt that he owed too much to Richelle Dunn and the children.

Hence, he wanted to organize a luxurious and unique proposal ceremony.

However, ironically, he is now in a situation where he can’t even show his face publicly.

The decision about the surgery was a bit rushed, which made Roy Lewis feel uneasy all the time.

It was not because he did not trust Richelle’s surgical skills, nor did he lack faith in his own will to survive, but he felt that he should secure the most important thing, so he could be at peace.

He didn’t know if there had been a precedent for proposing on the operating table, but wasn’t this the most sincere way?

On this operating table, he was no longer the powerful Roy Lewis.

He was just an ordinary person who might face illness and pain, who might face life and death.

With the simplest platinum ring, he handed it to her, like presenting his most genuine heart to her.

Richelle Dunn’s gaze fell on the ring. After a full five to six seconds, she turned her gaze to Roy Lewis’s face.

It was only when his eyes met hers that Roy Lewis noticed her eyes were red.

“Richelle…”

Richelle stared at him with red eyes, she pulled off her gloves but didn’t grab the ring. Instead, she reached behind her neck and removed the necklace she had been wearing for more than twenty years.

“Roy Lewis, don’t you know? I can’t wear a ring during surgery!”

Richelle said as she handed over the necklace to him.

Roy was dumbfounded for a moment, then realized that she hadn’t yet responded to his proposal.

“Richelle, you haven’t answered me yet!”

This girl, why can’t she just follow the normal procedures?

Still, Roy didn’t seem to realize that he hadn’t followed the normal procedure by kneeling when he proposed. Why should he require Richelle to do so?

Richelle glared at him, “Slide the ring onto the necklace…”

Following her instructions obediently, Roy Lewis linked the ring to the pendant.

Richelle said, “Hold the necklace with the ring in your hands, and ask me again!”

Roy blinked, quickly catching on. He held the necklace which now held the ring, and offered it to Richelle.

“Richelle, will you marry me?”

Richelle, with tears in her eyes, said softly, “Yes!”

She bent over slightly, moving her head closer to let Roy help her put on the necklace.

Once he had helped her put the necklace on, Richelle tucked the necklace into her clothes and placed her hand over her heart.

“Roy, my heart is with you!”

With that, she leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on his lips.

Then, she whispered in his ear with a very soft voice.

“Husband, I’ll wait for you to come back!”

The surgery, as expected, took nearly ten hours.

It was a success. Richelle and Sonia Seaton had simulated the process and details several times, and all the small issues or accidents that were expected didn’t happen.

The other doctors who participated in the surgery now admired Richelle, replacing their previous appreciation for her.

Everyone said that this operation was textbook perfect.

The operation was very successful. Roy Lewis was no longer in critical condition.

But as per standard procedure, he was taken directly to the ICU after leaving the operating room. Once his vital signs reached the required levels, he could be transferred back to his room.

Richelle who had been standing by the operating table for ten hours, did not go back to her rest room for a break. Instead, she sat in the chair outside the ICU, ate some of the food that Nathan Caroule had brought for her. After finishing eating, she leaned against the chairback and fell asleep.

About six hours after the surgery, Roy Lewis woke up. Recognizing this, Richelle who was sitting outside the door promptly changed into sterilized clothing and went in to see him.

Roy Lewis looked very pale. Although the operation was successful, it was still a major surgery, and the physical and mental consumption was enormous.

Roy Lewis, being able to wake up after just a few hours, was incredibly impressive. Many other patients would take one or two days to recover.

Richelle quickly stepped by his side, held his hand, and said with a smile.

“Husband, welcome back!”

He squeezed her hand, and with great difficulty, mustered up the energy to show a weak smile, then blinked and moved his lips at her, but failed to make any sounds.

He unconsciously frowned.

Richelle touched his face gently, reassuring him with a comforting smile.

“Don’t worry, you’re doing very well. You can’t speak right now because you’ve exhausted yourself, two or three days from now you’ll feel much better.”

Roy Lewis stopped trying to talk after that, he simply watched her in silence, as if he couldn’t look at her enough.

Richelle was in a good mood because from the operation to his postoperative condition, everything was even better than she had expected.

“It’s okay if you can’t speak, just listen to me.”

Roy blinked his eyes, as if in agreement.

“I almost thought you forgot that we are not married yet!”

After all, they already have three children. With both of them engaged in so many daily affairs, they already seemed like an old married couple. It seemed that whether they were married or not, or whether they had that registered certification or not, it didn’t seem to matter anymore.

Roy’s mouth moved, and it looked like he was trying to say, “I didn’t forget!”
