Chapter 722: Chapter 718: Men’s hardships are nothing compared to women’s.
As luck would have it, it was a Saturday, and the old man had just entered the house, being surrounded by the three little ones.
The old man had been worried that he would be scolded by the little ones when he came back, just like how Timmy had threatened him on the phone that day.
As it turned out, not only Timothy and Tifanny, but even Timmy, who had been fierce towards him yesterday, had faces full of joy.
The old man played with the children for a while, and it was soon time for their nap.
When the children went upstairs, the old man apologized to Richelle Dunn.
“Richelle, thank you for your hard work these days!”
Richelle laughed, “Grandpa, this is Roy Lewis’ last chance to exploit me. In a few days, I’ll be liberated.”
The old man was infected by her radiant smile and nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, after that, Roy will do all the hard work, and you and the children can just focus on what you love to do.”
Although that’s what Roy had in mind, he couldn’t help but tease his own grandpa when he heard it.
“Grandpa, am I not your biological grandson?”
The old man snorted, “So what if you’re my biological grandson? Can you give me three lively and lovely great-grandchildren?”
Roy Lewis spread his hands helplessly, “Although I did play a small part in that matter, I have to admit that I can’t give birth to them.”
The old man nodded with a smile, “That’s right, men always talk about how great it is to work outside, but they don’t know that it is the women who give birth, raise, educate, and take full responsibility for the children, that deserve the title of greatness and who really suffer the most!”
Richelle initially had prejudices against the old man, but the more she got to know him, the more she discovered his loveliness and brilliance.
And many of the good qualities in Roy seemed to have been inherited from the old man.
“Grandpa, all that suffering is just a part of our lives, so there’s no need to dwell on it.”
The three of them chatted, and Richelle checked the old man’s pulse and prescribed some medicine. She instructed Uncle Axel to get three doses to help the old man recover his health.
“How is it, not severe, right?”
Roy was pretty nervous.
Richelle shook her head, “There’s nothing serious, it’s just that staying in the mountains for a long time made his body a bit cold and damp, and he’s been worrying too much, which has affected his sleep quality.”
Roy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
“Grandpa, you should go back to your bedroom and have a good sleep. The mountains are cold and it’s hard for people to sleep soundly there.”
The old man obediently went back to his bedroom.
Only Richelle and Roy were left in the living room.
“Richelle, is Grandpa’s health really okay?”
Richelle nodded, “Yes, it won’t be a problem for him to live healthily for another ten years.”
Only then did Roy feel truly relieved.
Richelle added.
“However, it’s fortunate that Timmy made that phone call; otherwise, with his age, if he stayed in the mountains for another month or two, followed by the harsh winter, his body would have suffered a lot.”
Roy couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.
“It’s unexpected that Timmy is already able to take on responsibilities.”
Richelle glared at him, “Roy, saying this is undermining the enthusiasm of the children. Didn’t they just manage Lewis Group’s affairs a while ago instead of attending classes? They’re more responsible and perform better at work than many other children and even grown-ups.”
Roy nodded and admitted his mistake, then heard Richelle say.
“In fact, not only Timothy and Timmy, even Tifanny, who seems to be delicate, is very responsible, too.”
The children had only attended school for a few months, and Tifanny had already experienced two accidents there.
But in both accidents, her strong inner self and her amazing composure in the face of danger played the main role in her getting out unscathed, not Richelle, Roy, or the snipers.
When it came to their beloved daughter, Roy naturally had a proud look on his face.
“Tifanny does always give us a lot of surprises.”
Of course, both Richelle and Roy hoped that the children wouldn’t face any hardships or accidents.
But just because they hoped so, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t happen.
“This shows that you and the coach’s training methods are very effective.”
To improve the children’s self-preservation and defense capabilities, Roy and the coach had consulted many experts and ultimately devised a tailor-made training program for the three children.
And from the way the children responded to the accidents during this period, the effectiveness of this training program was remarkable.
“By the way, the coach said that starting next week, the intensity of their training will be increased appropriately. Do you have any objections?”
The training program for the three children was actually quite hard and tiring.
Nevertheless, Richelle knew that not being afraid of hardship and fatigue in ordinary days would allow them to save their lives to the greatest extent during critical moments.
“If the children can handle it and they don’t mind, then I won’t have any objections.”
Richelle still prioritized the wishes of the children.
Roy nodded, “I’ve asked them, and they’re even quite interested in the upcoming training program.”
Richelle couldn’t help but be curious.
“What new training program could interest the three little rascals?”
Roy replied, “Jungle field testing!”
