Chapter 413
When Avery received Charlotte''s call, he was tidying up the refrigerator. He originally did not want to
go to the barbecue party, but after he took a look, he found that there was a lot of meat in the
refrigerator. The two children had not gone out for a long time. They mostly spent time reading at
home. He tried to tell them to go out and have a walk, but it was useless. He thought that it would
be good to take them out.
The moment Charlotte opened her mouth, she said, "There may be a problem with Rick." Avery was
shocked to the extreme. The corner of his mouth was raised. "Did Kendall tell you that I''m not going
for the barbecue and you''re looking for an excuse to lure me there?"
"Would I do that?"
"Then tell me, Rick is a man, not a machine. How could there be something wrong with him?" Avery
said impatiently.
"This is what happened," Charlotte exined the situation to him.
What a situation.
Avery didn''t even have the mood to check the refrigerator anymore. He mmed it shut and said,
"What''s the matter with Rick? Is he depressed or something?"
"I don''t know, so I want you to bring a doctor here. You know, the doctors who are familiar with
Shane are all surgeons. You are better at dealing with these psychological matters."
"Okay, no problem, but I have a request."
"Alright. I''ll let you see Caleb, but you can''t do it again. If you do anything again, you''ll really have to
go to prison, you know?"
"Alright."
After she finished the conversation with Avery, Charlotte looked at Rick again. He was still the same
as before, but now he was asionally distracted when talking to Kendall. He didn''t know what he
was talking about. Moreover, his hands would tremble when he talked to Kendall. Charlotte felt that
this was quite strange. Was it possible that Rick was afraid of Kendall?
There was no reason for it.
About half an hourter.

Avery brought Olive, Sheryl, and the doctor to the vi. Charlotte took the two children to her side
and pointed to the backyard. "Rick and Kendall are both over there. You can just bring the doctor
there now." "Leave it to us to deal with."
"You''re so reliable."
Avery just smiled.
Rick was also indifferent to Avery, and he didn''t even look at the doctor. Kendall had to ask all the
questions guided by the doctor.
Fortunately, Rick still responded to Kendall. After a few questions, the doctor said with a solemn
expression, "He is thinking too much, which causes the brain nerves to slow down to the stimuli of
the outside world. In principle, such a person should have no reaction to anyone. But he is very
strange in that he responds to Miss Stevens."
"What should we do?" Avery asked.
"We need to do an examination first, but I don''t think the situation is good."
Avery sighed and walked over to pass this information to Charlotte.
Charlotte didn''t expect it to be so serious. "How can this be? Rick is not such a weak person.
What''s more, the Stevens Family is going against the Jane Corporation. He has no love for the
Jane Corporation. There is no reason for him to be depressed because of the Jane Corporation."
"Kendall was there just now so the doctor didn''t dare to say it. When Kendall left, he told me that it
might be because of Kendall."
"What should we do?"
"Rick may not know how to deal with Kendall, so he''s avoiding the truth. But at the same time, he''s
forcing himself not to avoid Kendall. That''s why his brain is telling him to avoid everyone but not
Kendall."
What this meant was that.
Rick had forced himself into having a psychological break.
Charlotte rubbed her temples. "Is there any way to treat him?"
"We have to do an examination first. In addition to doing that, we have to let Kendall stay with Rick
alone for some time. Only then can we do something."
"About this..."
"Just leave it to me. I''ll deal with the two of them. Just let me see Caleb."
Charlotte looked at him vigntly. "You''ve been wanting to see him all this time. What is your motive
for doing so?"
Avery smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to end this with him. I hope that he will regret what he did.
I don''t have any ulterior motives."
"You''d better not." "Of course."
The matter was decided for the time being.
After half an hour, Shane arrived. After he heard about Rick''s situation, he onlymented that
they should "find a good doctor for him", and did not make any morements. Averyined.
"I think after Rick is done with his depression, you''ll be next. You always talk so little."
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"And you''re threatening me." Avery rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "I''m so scared."
"Shouldn''t I be the one saying that?" Braden led Anne inside. "You''re already here. I thought we
would be the first ones to arrive."
"You guys continue chatting." Shane brought Lottie upstairs to hide from the crowd.
"This guy..." Avery smiled.
Bradenughed and said, "Come on, don''t you know how he is? He''s a cold-blooded guy."
Avery shrugged his shoulders. "Let''s not talk about him. I want to tell you about Rick and ask for
your opinion."
Braden was confused. "What''s wrong with Rick?"
At the same time.
Rick and Kendall were barbecuing in the yard.
Kendall was worried about Rick''s condition, so she called him softly, "Rick, are you all right?"
"Hmm?" Rick leaned over and looked at her. "Why did you ask me this all of a sudden?"
"When other people call you, you don''t respond to them. What happened?" She asked.
Rick was at a loss. "Who called me?"
"Charlotte and Avery."
"When did they get here?"
Kendall sighed.
She had just told Rick about it, but he had forgotten it so quickly. She hugged him gently and leaned
into his arms. "Rick, it''s all my fault. I put too much pressure on you. Maybe it''s best for me to leave
you. Back then, we..."
"Nonsense!" Rick suddenly grabbed her shoulders. "Why do you want to leave me?"
"I..." Kendall choked on her words.
Rick''s gaze was so scary.
He grabbed her shoulders so hard that she was in pain. He held onto her even harder. "Kendall,
don''t leave me again, don''t hide from me!"
"Okay," she replied in a low voice. "Can you let go of me? It hurts."
"I''m sorry." Rick let her go as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Kendall shook her head.
She did not think that Rick was not nice to her, nor did she feel that the pain was unbearable. After
all, she had suffered more pain than this. She was only worried about him.
If only she could be as free and easy as before. She could just escape him if she wanted to.
Besides, Rick didn''t care about her anymore. But now, it was different. Rick had be like this
because of her. Although she did not hear the doctor tell Avery this personally, Kendall could guess
something when he saw them talking when she walked away.
Rick being like this probably had something to do with her.
Kendall held Rick''s hand gently. "If you don''t want me to leave you, I won''t leave. If you want me to
leave, I''ll leave. Rick, I love you so much. How can I not listen to you?"
"Really?" Rick asked.
"Of course it''s true. I love you," Kendall answered naturally.
Rick didn''t believe her. He looked at her deeply and opened his mouth to speak a few times, but he
didn''t say anything. However, Kendall took the initiative to move forward and kiss him. "Whatever
happens, I will stay with you, and apany you from sunrise to sunset. As long as you need me, I
will be there."
Rick held her waist. He leaned over and took away all her breath with his kiss.
In a daze, Kendall seemed to hear Rick calling her. She didn''t know why, but every time she heard
him call her name, her ears would feel hot.
It felt so sweet.
"Hey, do you care about other people''s feelings?"
Avery leaned against the door and covered his eyes with his hands. "Should I clear the room for
you?"
