Chapter 775: Chapter 771: One Thing Cures Another – Master Lewis’ Nemesis
Dr. Zadra, who was accompanying them, quickly called in.
“Dr. Dunn, Master Lewis’ temperature is about 38 degrees now. What should we do next?”
Richelle knew that Roy Lewis’ body had developed a strong resistance to drugs after years of medication.
Medicine alone sometimes didn’t have a significant effect.
“Dr. Zadra, do you know acupuncture?”
Dr. Zadra was somewhat surprised, “Dr. Dunn, I only practice Western medicine. I know nothing about Chinese medicine.”
Richelle made a sound of acknowledgment, “In that case, after his inspection, send him to the Central Hospital. Find a Chinese traditional doctor who knows acupuncture. I will communicate with them by then.”
Dr. Zadra agreed and asked another question.
“Should you give Master Lewis fever-reducing medication later?”
Richelle replied, “No need for now. After the inspection, just send him to the Central Hospital.”
Dr. Zadra thought for a moment, “How about this? I’ll contact them so that they can send a Chinese traditional doctor over. As soon as Master Lewis finishes the inspection, we can have him undergo acupuncture?”
“That would be best. Thank you.”
Having a few hours of fever is not a big deal for ordinary people, but Roy Lewis’ condition still was different from others.
Richelle was originally going to leave work, but now, she had to cooperate with the visiting Chinese traditional doctor in remotely treating Roy Lewis so she called her family and said she had to work overtime.
To prevent her children from calling in and blocking the line, she deliberately blacklisted her family members’ and Uncle Axel’s phone numbers.
At the factory, Roy Lewis and accompanying staff visited the entire assembly line and quality inspection and packaging departments under the guidance of local leaders.
After the tour, it was almost six o’clock.
The local leaders enthusiastically invited Roy Lewis and the others to dinner at a local specialty restaurant, but Dr. Zadra, who had been closely following, quickly stepped forward and said,
“Leaders, Mr. Lewis got wet in the rain at the flood control site this morning and is feeling a bit unwell. I have contacted a doctor to treat Mr. Lewis, so he may not be able to attend tonight’s dinner.”
When the local leaders heard that Roy Lewis was ill, they no longer insisted and quickly arranged a resting room inside the factory, as instructed by Dr. Zadra.
Roy Lewis’ brow furrowed slightly, but Dr. Zadra noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to whisper an explanation,
“Master Lewis, Dr. Dunn saw the live broadcast and noticed that your face looked wrong. She personally called to ask about it and arranged for the doctor. She also said that she would remotely guide the acupuncture treatment from the Chinese traditional doctor here.”
Upon hearing that it was Richelle’s intervention, Roy Lewis’ brow immediately relaxed.
And he obediently followed the direction of Dr. Zadra and local leaders to the resting room.
As he walked, he called Richelle.
The phone was picked up after only one ring.
“Roy Lewis, how do you feel now?”
Richelle’s anxious voice came through, making Roy Lewis’ feverish body feel like his blood was boiling.
“I’m fine, don’t worry!”
Roy Lewis’ body was burning hot, his heart beating twice as fast.
But his voice remained calm and composed, as usual.
However, Richelle suddenly became furious without warning.
“Roy Lewis, don’t think you can casually dismiss me with just ‘I’m fine.’ I’m your private doctor, and you can’t hide your illness from me!”
Roy Lewis could only lower his voice and smile apologetically, “It’s my fault, my body couldn’t bear it. I will immediately follow your instructions and lay down for treatment!”
The people around him, hearing Roy Lewis suddenly soften his voice and attitude, immediately understood that the person on the other end of the line must be the legendary and powerful Dr. Dunn.
Everyone sympathetically but also curiously listened in as Roy Lewis soothingly coaxed Dr. Dunn on the other end of the phone.
“Yes, yes! You’re right, I’ll adjust my work schedule when I get back and try to make you and the kids worry less…”
Dr. Zadra secretly took out his phone and quietly saved Richelle’s number.
He didn’t know how long Roy Lewis would be his boss, but saving the number wouldn’t hurt – maybe it would save his life one day.
Under their escort, Roy Lewis entered the temporary resting room that had been cleared for him.
Except for Dr. Zadra and the specially invited Chinese traditional doctor, all other people were barred from entering.
“Richelle, I’m lying down.”
Roy Lewis had been talking on the phone with Richelle the whole time.
Richelle’s anger had finally subsided a bit.
“Okay, the Chinese traditional doctor is there, right?”
Roy Lewis responded affirmatively.
“Then I’ll hang up and switch to video.”
Soon, Richelle hung up and called back with a video invitation.
Although they had just seen each other in the morning, Roy Lewis felt like he hadn’t seen her in a long time.
Pressing the accept button, he deliberately moved the camera closer to show Richelle,
“See, I’m really fine. Dr. Zadra exaggerated!”
Richelle glared at him, “Let the Chinese traditional doctor check your pulse first. Whether you’re okay or not, it’s not for you to say.”
Roy Lewis looked somewhat helpless, “You still don’t believe me?”
