Chapter 336
Rick took a step forward and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong?"
"I was sleeping when I found that you were gone. I was so frightened that I woke up. You really went away," Kendall said as she cried all over him.
"Idiot, I've always been here." Rick patted her on the shoulder. "Go to sleep now."
"Rick, I'm sad." Kendall looked at him with red eyes. "I'm so sad. Aren't I helpless?"
"You'll be fine after some sleep. Go to bed."
Rick spent another half an hour coaxing Kendall to sleep. This time, he did not walk to the sofa, but lay on his side on the bed. Kendall held his arm and fell asleep with him, listening to her breathe and smelling her scent.
This feeling was not particularly good, but it was not bad. He didn't dislike it, so it was good.
The next day.
When Charlotte yawned awake, Shane was still asleep. She washed up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she was halfway through, she sensed that Shane had gotten up. She peeked her head through to look at him. "Shane, we are going to the psychiatrist today. Do you want to go with me or go to the office first?"
"Your office or mine?" Shane gave her a very cold look.
"Aren't you more hard- working than I am?" Charlotte was impatient. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't go. All the employees know what to do. They can solve their own problems."
What kind of false assumption was this?
Shane did not know about the slang and memes used on the Internet. He only thought that this logic was... not logical at all.
By the time Shane finished washing up, Charlotte had already prepared breakfast. After the two of them ate together, they went to the garage together.
Charlotte sat in the passenger seat and took out her phone. "Rick said they've already left."
"Alright."
"If Kendall was also hypnotized by Christopher, can we sue him now?" Charlotte asked.
"After the business with the Stevens family is done, we can."
Charlotte nodded, "Let's deal with Christopher first. This time, he's crossed your bottom line. We can't just let him do whatever he wants. Who knows what he will do next."
Shane was looking at the road. "I don't know what my father would think."
This was really a good question. After she thought about it for a long time, Charlotte couldn't imagine what Shane's father would think.
He seemed to have maintained his family well. He seemed like he had both fame and fortune, and he even had two women at the same time. But in fact, his two sons were at each other's throats. Sometimes life was just about conflicts.
Soon, they stopped in front of a psychiatric clinic.
Rick and Kendall were waiting. Kendall was wearing a pink sweater and a white beanie on her head, which made her look very cute.
Charlotte couldn't help but lower her head and look at herself. She wore a typical black dress and a coat. She looked elegant and mature, but she also looked old-fashioned and mean.
Sometimes, she was really envious of such a stylish woman as Kendall.
She had been pregnant during her youthful years, and then she worked hard to support Sheryl. She had never lived such a comfortable life before like Kendall had.
"Do you need me to go in with her?" Rick looked at
Charlotte and Shane.
"You know the process as well. If you feel like it's necessary, just go in with her. If you think there's no need then don't," Charlotte said.
"Then I'll go with her."
Charlotte nodded. "Let's go."
The doctor had already prepared all the instruments. When he saw that Rick was here, he said, "Avery is not here this time, but Mr. Jane is here instead."
"This is my girlfriend." Rick introduced Kendall to him.
The doctor was shocked and said, "This person is so vicious."
Indeed.
"It's really vicious."
The culprit had hypnotized Kendall and Rick at the same time.
The two of them went into the operating room for an examination. Charlotte and Shane could only wait outside for the results. Shane brought a laptop with him and was communicating with Peter about the company's matters. After all, the press conference was imminent, so they had to deal with it first.
When they were almost done talking, Peter suddenly said, "Mr. Fuller, I found some information today. It says that the Stevens Corporation has been taken over. The main company's shares went down nearly 14%."
"Did Avery make a move?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I asked Mr. Hart for verification as soon as possible. It's not him, so I think you can take this opportunity to ask Mr. Jane about it."
Did Rick buy the Stevens Corporation's stock?
"That's his style." Shane didn't intend to ask. If it wasn't Avery, then the only person who would do such a thing was Rick.
Peter licked his lips and said, "I think so too. We have laid a trap for a long time now. This means that even if the hypnosis can affect him, it won't last for too long. Do you want me to investigate the reason why he and Kendall are still dating? What if... we must stay on guard. What do you think, Ms. Emerson?"
Peter knew that Shane would definitely get him to investigate, but that wasn't necessarily the case for Charlotte. That was Rick they were talking about.
However, what he did not expect was...
"Investigate," said Charlotte.
"No," Shane said.
The two of them hadn't discussed it at all. They opened their mouths to speak almost at the same time.
When he heard them speak, Peter was dumbfounded. Charlotte also turned her head and looked at Shane, "It wouldn't hurt to investigate it."
"So there is no need to investigate."
"It's not too bad to make sure. How about this? You can have Peter investigate a little. Let's see whether Rick is actually being good to Kendall or is making use of her. Then, we can also judge how much effort to put into dealing with the Stevens family."
Peter nodded repeatedly. "I understand. Don't worry, Ms. Emerson."
When the two of them were almost done talking with Peter, the door of the operating room opened.
Detecting and dispelling hypnosis were a piece of cake. There was no need to involve a scalpel or anything like that. The examination was only for safety.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "There are signs of hypnosis, and they're very deep. I have already removed it for her, but she may not recover completely so quickly. You can try to ask her about her memories." "Thank you." Charlotte handed a check she had
prepared to the doctor.
This doctor was different from those from the hospital. He ran this whole clinic. Usually, he only provided private services, and he only covered psychology.
"Miss Charlotte, you're too kind." The doctor took the check. "I'd like to thank you for helping me complete the charity fundraising that would take a year in just a few days. I'll give you a receipt later."
"Alright, I trust you." Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "Whenever you need investments or charity funds, you can see us."
The doctor laughed. "I know. I certainly won't be too shy to ask for your help."
At this time, Rick and Kendall also came out.
Kendall needed Rick's help to walk. She was in a very numb state.
"Kendall, are you alright?" Charlotte stepped forward and supported her other arm.
After they made sure that Kendall had been hypnotized, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, in the future, if Rick really ended up together with Kendall, Charlotte would never want to see the two of them again no matter what.
Kendall turned her head in a daze and nodded at Charlotte. "I, I'm fine. You're... Charlotte. You're
here too."
"Is there something wrong with her memory?" Charlotte looked at the doctor and asked. "Rick wasn't like this before."
"Mr. Jane came early, and he has a stronger sense of awareness, so it's easy for him to get rid of it. Unlike her, who will take a longer time to recover," the doctor said.
Rick immediately said, "I can take care of her."
When she heard this, Charlotte found it funny. She shook her head helplessly, "Rick, who else can take care of her if you don't?"
Rick seemed stunned by what he had said too.
He hugged Kendall and said, "I will take good care of her."
He definitely would.
