Richelle Dunn glared at him, "Dare to say that again, huh?"
Roy Lewis fell silent, only speaking again when they were back in the bedroom and she was bent over preparing for the treatment.
"Richelle, you've worked really hard these days!"
Richelle responded with a grunt, "Yeah, it has been tough. So, once you can show your face outside, I'm taking the three kids out for fun."
Roy said with a tinge of surprise, "You guys are going out without me?"
Richelle chuckled at his pitiful tone.
"That's why I wonder why you're being so polite. As a family, shouldn't we bear the burdens and enjoy the happy moments together?"
It was then that Roy realized that Richelle's little act was designed to dispel his unnecessary guilt and unease.
Whether it was due to Richelle's comfort or not, Roy's headache that had persisted for two days seemed to have eased significantly.
And after Richelle administered the acupuncture treatment, his headache symptoms lightened even more.
