The next day, Richelie Dunn went to the Lewis mansion as usual.

Timmy had been waking up late these days, and it was unclear whether he was genuinely sleeping so late or deliberately dawdling, creating more alone time for his parents.

Richelle had been too busy recently, and Mrs. Walker had been making breakfast.

Roy Lewis and Timmy were only ever interested in the breakfast made by Richelle. Both father and son agreed that there was no need to bring the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Walker.

Richelle didn’t insist either, thinking there would be plenty of time for them to enjoy her cooking later. She didn’t mind missing a day or two.

“Hasn’t Timmy woken up yet?”

Roy Lewis nodded. “Yeah, Mrs. Collins said he stayed up watching a documentary until after ten last night.”

Richelle was curious. “A documentary? What’s so fascinating about it?”

Roy Lewis wasn’t sure. “Mrs. Collins couldn’t understand it because it was in a foreign language.”

Not asking further, Richelle placed her bag and coat on the sofa and prepared to go upstairs to wake Timmy.

However, Roy stopped her. “Richelle, I need to discuss something with you.”

Seeing his serious expression, Richelle sensed it was an important matter and sat back down.

“Go ahead.”

Roy considered his words carefully. “There’s a matter that might require me to go abroad for a few days, but my current situation means I cannot stop the acupuncture treatments, right?”

Yesterday, Roy and Kennedy Green, along with his connections, had redeployed to apprehend the Thompson’s foreign forces. However, before implementing the specific deployment plan, they needed someone to go and scout the location.

Roy was the most suitable candidate since there were no official records of him holding any government positions.

Richelle nodded. “Indeed, you can’t stop the treatments. If you do, all my hard work over the past month might be wasted. So, forget about this, and let Nathan or someone else take care of it.”

Roy’s face showed his dilemma. “But, I have to handle this matter personally. Nathan can’t do it for me.”

Frowning, Richelle asked, “What is so important that it matters more than your health?”

Roy hadn’t thought of trading his health for this deployment. He just figured there might be another possibility.

“Could you come with me for a few days abroad?”

He’d heard before that Richelle would sometimes leave home for a few days for certain tasks.

Although he felt a bit selfish, he knew he was also one of her patients. As a doctor, accompanying him for a few days shouldn’t be a problem.

Richelle’s frown deepened.

It wasn’t because she didn’t want to go with him. Right now, she simply couldn’t leave.

“I’m sorry, but I’m tied up with things at the moment. I can’t accompany you, so you’ll have to look for someone else.”

On her end, Master Troy was on his way here. Hugo Camrey had almost completed his preparations, and United Ventures was planning to meet with Jayden Dunn again soon.

Roy was somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that he was pushing too hard.

“Alright, I’ll make alternative arrangements then.”

After discussing, neither of them brought it up again.

In the afternoon, Hugo Camrey sent a definitive reply to Richelle.

“Richelle, my uncle is willing to be the referrer.”

Richelle felt a mixture of emotions.

Admittedly, having Hugo’s uncle as the referrer was the best option.

However, causing significant trouble for Hugo again made her feel increasingly guilty.

At the moment, she didn’t have a better solution than the one Hugo had provided.

“Please thank your uncle for me first. I’ll find a chance to thank him in person later.”

“Put it out of your mind. My uncle said he’s happy to do this favor.”

After their discussion, Hugo went ahead with the plan. In the evening, he sent Richelle a few photos and a short video clip.

The video showed Jayden Dunn and his wife, along with Master Troy, shaking hands with smiles on their faces.

The photos captured a group of people sitting together, discussing something earnestly.

Apparently, the introduction went very smoothly.

At around 10 p.m., Hugo finally sent a video call invitation to Richelle.

“Richelle, it’s all settled!”

Grateful, Richelle smiled at Hugo on the screen. “Thank you!”

Hugo shared some details about the situation with Richelle. At the end, he asked a question that had been on his mind.

“Richelle, there’s something I still can’t figure out.”

“What is it?” Richelle asked.

Hugo gazed at her for a moment. “You never thought Kiara would go mad initially, did you?”

Indeed, Richelle hadn’t expected Kiara to be so scared out of her wits. “Of course not. Who knew she’d be so easily frightened?”

It was surprising that someone who dared to kill could be driven mad by a ghost.

“In my opinion, isn’t it a good thing that she’s gone crazy? She’s being punished. So why are you looking for someone to treat her? Is it because you feel guilty?”

Richelle couldn’t help but laugh. “Hugo, you’re really something!”

Hugo was puzzled by her laughter. “Isn’t it a good thing that she’s crazy?”

A cold glint flashed in Richelle’s eyes.

“Of course not!”

“When a person goes mad, they’re immune to any pain or changes from the outside world.”

“So, I want her to wake up and truly experience the pain her family inflicted on me. For example, the loss of family, and her downfall from a wealthy heiress to a destitute wanderer…”

As Richelle spoke, memories of the humiliations and tortures she endured over the years at the Dunns flashed across her mind. Her expression turned melancholic.

“Richelle… I’m sorry…”

Only now did Hugo realize how foolish his question had been.

He tried to imagine several times what it would be like if he were in Richelle’s shoes. If he had experienced her pain, he probably wouldn’t have been able to live as courageously.

Even if he survived, he’d likely scrape by for the rest of his life.

Unlike her, who faced her pain, her humiliation, and everything she had suffered head-on!

Richelle gave him a sad smile. “Hugo, I’m really sorry for dragging you into this mess. Actually, I feel most sorry towards you in this whole situation!”

Hugo, a stranger who bonded with her through unusual circumstances, helped her unconditionally after hearing her plan.

“So, the person most qualified to question me is you!”

For some unknown reason, Hugo suddenly asked her.

“Richelle, do I have the right to ask you to be my girlfriend?”
