"This is a very useful method. Do you really want to use it this time?" Charlotte reminded him.
"Of course I won't use it this time. Plotting murder is a big deal. It's better to have a piece of evidence on your phone before negotiating with them and luring them to confess everything." Avery said as he glanced at Kendall, "Of course, due to the number of people here, I can't tell you the details."
Kendall didn't say anything. She gently pulled Rick's sleeve and said, "Rick, can you help me get another phone number and buy another phone?"
"Okay." Rick pulled her behind him and said, "Avery, take this phone if you need to. No matter once or twice, if things go wrong, I will tell Kendall to say that she'd lost her phone."
"Yes, that'll do. I will extract the app and then create an illusion that the phone is power-offed."
"We won't participate in this matter then." Rick didn't know much about machines.
"Kendall, take back the phone first and remove everything that was bound with the phone number. You can send it back to me after Rick has bought you a new phone." Avery passed the phone back to Kendall again. This time, he looked at her face without a trace of disgust.
Kendall took the phone and nodded at him. "Okay, I understand."
Avery pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't.
Kendall also stood silently beside Rick. She had already said what she should have said, done what she should have done.
There was no way she could stop Avery from hating her. All she could do was to help him as much as possible if he needed help. She had already regarded herself as inferior and only hoped that
they wouldn't disregard her for the sake of her hard work. She hoped that they wouldn't marginalize Rick too.
Nobody could see through Kendall's mind. However, even if she didn't help, nobody would marginalize Rick. After all, he played an important part in the plan.
Moments later.
The door of the operating room opened.
The doctor walked out and said, "The male patient is fine now, but it is unknown whether the female patient can wake up or not. We will have to observe her for a while."
"Doctor, may I ask where is she injured?" Charlotte asked.
"She had a serious brain injury, but the situation is quite optimistic. There are absolutely no lifethreatening signs. She only has to lie in the hospital all the time. I think all of you are her friends. Time is tight, as well as money. Do you want to inform their family members?"
"No matter how much it costs or how many staff you need, we can afford it," Charlotte said as she took out a book. "Doctor, I know that you guys don't accept gifts, but I specially asked my friend to find this book. I hope you like it."
The act of gifting books could easily improve the relationship between people. The doctor accepted the book. When he looked at the book cover, he was delighted. To a neurologist, this book was simply a holy existence.
"This book is not cheap. I'll pay you back, is that okay?" The doctor held the book in his arms, not wanting to let go of it anymore.
"My friend just took it out of the library. I practically didn't pay any money, but you can pay me the delivery fee. It's about four dollars."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
The doctor knew that she didn't care about money. In fact, he might not be able to buy this kind of book even if he had money. It would have been an insult to her kind intention if he had paid her the original price of the book.
After learning that Charlotte and the others were not short of money, the doctor introduced them to various machines and directly ruled out the prices, only telling them the pros and cons. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
There was no such thing as the most expensive thing in medicine. A simple and efficient CPR was worth more than pure oxygen.
Charlotte and Shane finally chose a machine for Zoe according to the information comparison. The cost of operating the machine for a day was about 2,000 dollars, which makes it 60,000 dollars per month. That was just too much for an ordinary family to afford.
However, 60,000 dollars a month was nothing to Charlotte. When Zoe was present, a single contract she signed was worth a lot more than this sum of money.
In regards to friendship, Zoe was worth it. In regards to ability, Zoe was even more worth it.
By the time they were done, it was already nighttime. They had no choice but to let Charlotte and Shane stay at the hospital. After all, Avery had to go home and take care of Olive.
"Actually, we can stay here too," Kendall suggested softly when she noticed that Charlotte was already worn out.
"I'm afraid that you will kill Zoe." Charlotte's tone was gentle, but the words she said were harsh.
"Sorry, I..."
"Kendall, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself," Charlotte interrupted her. "Have a good life with Rick. Don't let him down. It's the best you can do for us. It's not that we don't want to treat you as a friend. The time just hasn't come yet."
The time had yet to arrive. Was it because of the Stevens family?
Kendall hesitated for a moment and asked, "What will you do to the Stevens family?"
"Kendall." Rick frowned.
Fortunately, she asked that question in front of Charlotte and Shane. If she had asked that question in front of Avery, he would have flashed a murderous gaze at her. After all, this question was quite provocative.
He said that it was fine to plead for mercy or buy the dips. In short, anyone could ask this question, except for Kendall.
Charlotte raised her hand to stop Rick. "When she thought of asking this question, it proved that she had already regarded herself as one of us. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to ask this question."
Kendall felt that Charlotte had read her mind, so she nodded lightly and explained in a soft voice, "I won't tell anyone about this. I just want to know if that's the case, what actions will you guys take? Will my older brother and father die? What can I do for you or them?"
Charlotte looked at Kendall, who was in front of her and felt a little emotional.
She was once that little princess who could do whatever she wanted. She was the one who kidnapped Sheryl but still acted self-righteous and obstinate.
What a pity.
Things could never go back to how they first met.
"Firstly, how far we go depends on how far they would go. Secondly, what you can do for Rick is to quietly stay by his side and not cause him any more trouble. What you can do for us is to pretend as if you don't know us. As for your older brother and father, the only thing you can do for them is to try your best not to enrage us, understand?" Charlotte's tone was solemn.
The words she said sounded simple, but it wasn't an easy job to do everything accordingly.
Kendall was deep in her thoughts as she listened. Then, she gently nodded. "I can do it. I don't want to cause trouble for everyone." "Behave a little better when you're with me." Rick sighed helplessly.
"I've always been a good girl."
Charlotte couldn't help but laugh. "Kendall, have you decided to be together with Rick? You've changed a lot. If you had been like this a long time ago, your relationship with Rick would have gone much smoother."
Kendall also felt a little emotional, but she didn't show it on her face. She just nodded to her and said, "I have to be with Rick."
There were no changes in Rick's expression, but his body stiffened a little. Nobody had ever confessed to him like that before.
Charlotte just nodded her head.
Because of Rick, she was somewhat tolerant toward Kendall. She really didn't bear to diminish the sense of worth of a woman who loved Rick when she had already left him.
"Well, we'll leave first," Rick said.
"Alright. It's fine as long as we're here." Charlotte nodded.
Rick looked toward Shane and said, "Mr. Fuller, next time I'll definitely come and apologize in person."
"No need to apologize. Keep an eye on Jane Corporation's share price. Don't always ask me for help." Shane didn't even spare a glance at him.
Rick smiled bitterly.
Shane was obviously kind-hearted, but his words were really annoying.
