Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 790: Chapter 786: Am I Too Bad?

That night, Roy Lewis surprisingly returned home just after nine o’clock.

He hurriedly told his three children a story and spent some time with them.

When the children fell asleep, and the two walked out of the bedroom, Roy opened his arms and tightly embraced Richelle Dunn.

“Baby, I’m sorry I couldn’t go to the Dunns with you.”

Others might not know, but Roy was well aware.

Richelle had lingering fear and resentment towards the Dunns.

This fear had been ingrained in her after years of persecution at the hands of the Dunns.

She had never mentioned this, but Roy could sense her feelings.

Therefore, upon learning she was going to face the Dunns, Roy immediately asked Benjamin Fred to call Mr. Jarvis.

Roy didn’t know what Mr. Jarvis would think, but he didn’t care.

All he cared about was whether his beloved could safely walk out of that devil’s den.

Having Mr. Jarvis wasn’t enough; he also insisted that Nathan and Delroy accompany her.

Richelle patted him, “Who said you didn’t go with me? Mr. Jarvis, Nathan, and Delroy were all there representing you, right?

Deep down, Richelle indeed had some fear that was difficult to overcome.

But with several powerful men protecting her, she felt much more at ease.

Roy regretted, “It’s not the same…”

But he had no other choice.

Richelle touched his face, tiptoed, and kissed him on the lips.

“To me, it’s the same. I feel very secure and at ease.”

Roy kissed her back, with immense tenderness.

“As long as you feel at ease. Next time, I’ll try to accompany you.”

Richelle nodded and said yes, then continued talking to Roy.

“Today, I walked around the Dunns’ house with pride, watching Harris Dunn frightened yet trying to keep a smile on his face. It was so enjoyable. Do you think I’m a bit too mean?”

Roy caressed her hair, gazed at her affectionately.

“You’re the kindest angel I’ve ever seen, but even angels need to fight back against the bad people.”

The two lingered in the hallway for a while before finally going back to their bedroom.

Richelle asked Roy to take a shower first, while she sat on the sofa with her iPad, reviewing the medical reports sent by Mr. Jarvis.

Mr. Jarvis clearly cared a lot about this informant.

The reports he sent were complete, ranging from two or three months ago to the present.

And just as he said, this informant named Dylan Collins had a similar condition to Roy’s.

However, his constitution was not as good as Roy’s, so the surgery’s risks were not low.

Richelle always took a cautious approach to her patients. After checking with Sonia Seaton that she was still awake, she sent Dylan’s medical records to her.

Sonia quickly reviewed the reports and called back with a video call.

“Richelle, do you really want to take on this surgery?”

Richelle neither nodded nor shook her head, only asked.

“Master, do you think the risk is significant, too?”

Sonia answered with a hum, “His physical condition might not withstand the surgery that could last for more than ten hours, and even if the surgery is successful, the chances of his postoperative recovery remain uncertain.”

Richelle let out a sigh, “Yes, that’s what I’m worried about.”

Sonia asked her again, “What’s your confidence level?”

Richelle answered truthfully, “I’m 40% sure that the surgery will be successful, and 30% sure that he will recover well afterward.”

Sonia nodded, “That’s about the same as my estimate. So have you decided to operate on him?”

If Richelle didn’t want to do it, she wouldn’t have sent the medical records to Sonia for her opinion.

Roy did not hide her intentions, “As long as the patient himself is willing, I will do the surgery for him.”

For many renowned experts, preserving their reputation is more important, and they may not perform a surgery without assurance.

But in Richelle’s view, even a slim chance of survival is hope.

Of course, the decision whether to seize such an opportunity or not is not up to her.

Sonia sighed, “Since you’ve already decided, you should discuss it with the patient.”

Hearing her sigh, Richelle knew that her master didn’t want her to take such a risk.

However, since it was her decision, her master would support her unconditionally.

“Thank you for your understanding and support, Master!”

Sonia clicked her tongue, “Why are you thanking me? All the breakthroughs and progress you’ve made over the years were accumulated by performing countless surgeries—you’re willing to take risks and try, and I am delighted.”

Richelle and Sonia were inclined to perform surgery because Dylan Collins was currently in a life-threatening danger.

Without surgery, his chance of survival would be zero.

But with the surgery, his chance of survival would be 30-40%.

Later, Richelle and Sonia discussed some details. When Roy came out of the bathroom, Richelle gestured to him before taking her phone to her study next door.

Ten minutes later, Richelle finished her call and returned to see Roy leaning against the bed, holding his iPad and smiling at something.

At first, Richelle thought he was looking at files, but upon seeing his upturned lips, she realized she was wrong.
