Chapter 418
When Rick saw Kendall crying, the pain in his heart magnified. Finally, he raised his hand and held
her face. "Kendall, you aren''t choosing between Zayden and me. You are choosing whether you
want me or not. It doesn''t matter who you choose if you leave me. That is your choice. I just want to
know if you really want to give me up."
"I... you... don''t force me. I don''t want to force you either."
There was nothing else left unsaid.
Even now, she still believed that she was the one who forced him to stay.
Rick smiled. He lowered his head and wiped her face. "Zayden hasn''t left yet. You may still have
time to leave. But, Kendall, let me tell you clearly. If you leave, don''te back. I don''t have such a
good temper that I can ept a woman who left me."
"I..." Kendall choked on her words.
Rick let go of her hands and walked out.
She was reluctant to make a decision, so she decided to do another bad thing.
She used to like him more, so he could hurt her and abandon her at will. Now he loved her more, so
he had to make a decision to be good to her. It would be a good thing if she left him.
She had to leave him.
That was what Rick thought. But he couldn''t help but feel sad. His legs suddenly turned into jelly,
and he fell directly to the ground.
"Rick!" Kendall immediately ran to his side and held him up. "Rick, what''s wrong? Are you okay,
Rick? Wake up."
Rick''s lips were pale and his eyes were closed. His forehead was covered with sweat. Kendall
called out to him helplessly as she cried. After a while, she remembered that she should call
someone to help. She took out her phone from her pocket and hesitated for a moment before
calling Charlotte.
Of course, it was impossible for Charlotte to sleep. No matter how tired she was, she usually slept
around two o''clock, because there were many things that she needed to deal with.
But when she saw Kendall''s iing call, she was still stunned. "What''s wrong?"
"Rick, Rick suddenly fell into aa..."
"Get a doctor."
"We are outside."
Alright.
Something strange had happened.
After Charlotte came to this conclusion, she immediately asked for the address. She took her car
keys and set off. When she was halfway to the car, she suddenly remembered that she had not told
Shane about this. She had wanted to call him to tell him about it. But after she thought about it, she
realized that she might get home before he noticed she was gone. Therefore, she didn''t do
anything.
It wasn''t too far away, so Charlotte quickly arrived at the location.
Kendall sat on the side of the road crying. Beside hery Rick, while Zayden stood beside them.
"Mr. Crawford." Charlotte got out of the car and greeted Zayden first.
"I didn''t expect Miss Charlotte toe alone."
"Are you disappointed? It doesn''t matter. After that, you cane home with me for a sit. Shane
has been obsessed with reading recently."
Zayden smiled and took a step forward. "There''s someone following you. Do you know that?"
Charlotte leaned closer to him and asked, "How did you know?"
"I saw that person. I can deal with this matter for you. What I want isn''t something important. Just
Shane''s preserved flower. My grandmother likes it very much." "This?" Charlotte immediately took
out a pink flower.
Why did she have it with her?
Zayden smiled. "You..."
"We have mass-produced it. How about this? If your grandmother likes it, I''ll have someone bring
some to your grandmother tomorrow. How about that?"
For your grandmother.
It sounded like she was cursing someone out, but Zayden couldn''t consider it that way. It was so
infuriating.
He shook his head with a wry smile. "Alright. Thank you then. As for that tail, leave it to me. I''ll help
you out since you''re doing me a favor."
"Then I''ll bring Rick and Kendall to the hospital."
"Alright, after you arrive at the hospital, I''ll bring some people with me. Please give me the address."
"Let me add you on TheyChat."
After they scanned the QR code to add each other, Charlotte helped Kendall carry Rick into the car.
Kendall kept crying, and Charlotte was a little annoyed by it. She said unhappily, "What''s the point
of crying now? What were you doing? It''s not like you don''t know that Rick is at risk now. Use your
brain before you do something next time. Don''t always be so impulsive."
"I know. I''m sorry for making you worry." Kendall lowered her head and said in a particrly
aggrieved tone.
"Alright, tell me what happened."
Kendall told her everything truthfully.
"You are really stupid. Zayden obviously has a crush on you. Why would you meet him for Rick? If I
were Rick I wouldn''t just let you go. I''d throw you in Zayden''s bed and watch you two at it." There
was no one else there, so Charlotte''s words were unfiltered and harsh. "Kendall, let me warn you. It
doesn''t matter what happens to Rick. No one would dare to do anything to him. But you are
different, do you know that?"
"I know."
"Let''s not talk about this simple thing. Your brother and your father really didn''t get discouraged. If
we use you to threaten them, the Stevens family will go bankrupt. Whether here or abroad,
everything will fall apart. When the timees, the Stevens Family will not let you go."
Kendall lowered her head and didn''t say anything.
Charlotte tilted her head and looked at her. "At least we have a reason to deal with Caleb. They
have no reason to deal with you, it''s all for their own benefits."
"I know that too."
"Don''t go out again, okay?" Charlotte stretched out her hand and patted Kendall''s head.
Kendall''s eyes turned red in an instant. "I''m sorry. I didn''t mean it. I''m sorry."
Charlotteughed. "Don''t talk about such useless things. Take good care of Ric. When everything is
over,fort your brother and father. As long as they are willing to start over again, none of us will
be stingy with our resources."
"Okay!" Kendall cheered up all of a sudden.
Kendall was just like a child.
That was what Charlotte thought of her.
After they got to the hospital and did a detailed examination, the doctor only said that Rick had gone
through a lot. Charlotte had no choice but to call Avery''s doctor over for another examination. There
was a slight change in the diagnosis. The main thing was that Rick couldn''t withstand any
provocation. As long as he had emotional fluctuations, his brain would shut down.
Thankfully, this time Rick was still fine. Otherwise, the dy in getting him here would have been
enough to kill him.
Charlotte felt very ufortable when she heard this. She asked tentatively, "Then, can he be
cured?"
"Yes. You don''t have to worry," the doctor said with a smile. "It''s not a big deal. I told you before that
he needs good rest and some psychological counseling. But..."
He looked at Kendall.
Kendall lowered her head guiltily.
Charlotte nodded. "Then let Rick suffer a little. He deserves it."
"Miss Charlotte, you are really heartless."
"There is no other way. He was also very ruthless to Kendall."
After Charlotte made some arrangements, she left and went to wait for Zayden. It was enough to
have Kendall take care of Rick alone.
Kendall was watching over Rick.
About thirty minutester, Rick slowly opened his eyes.
Kendall was surprised and held his hand. "Rick!"

He slowly blinked his eyes and replied with a grunt.
"I was so worried about you." She threw herself into his arms and hugged him hard.
"I didn''t know that you would worry so much for me."
Rick gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Of course I''m worried about you!"
"There''s no need to worry about my health. With Avery and the others by my side, I''ll be well taken
care of. Whether you want to leave me or not, you can decide on your own."
"I just didn''t want to leave you," Kendall answered immediately.
"You were wavering just now, weren''t you?"
That was because...
Kendall wanted to find an excuse, but she couldn''t even find an excuse to fool him.
She bit her lip.
"Rick, I don''t have..." She could only defend herself, her face pale.
