Charlotte thought about Braden's dimwittedness... She couldn't help but laugh.

"It is indeed better to rely on Sheryl than Mr. Collins."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that?" At this time, Braden and Anne came over. He protested unhappily, "Do you think so lowly of me?" Rick's face was very pale as he tried to pull a smile. "I really can't think of anything else other than you being good to Anne."

"Wow, what you said really hurt me. Shane, do you think my image is that bad?"

"I've seen you being worse," Shane said calmly.

What he said wasn't funny but it was how Shane delivered it in such a calm manner.

Even Rick could not help but twitch his lips.

His action caused more blood to gush out of his wounds.

Charlotte quickly rushed to his side and took off her clothes to help him cover his wound.

"I'm fine." Rick reached out and gently stroked her cheek. "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

She shook her head. "It's my job to be worried."

Rick smiled and replied, "Okay."

Shane noticed the two of them flirting immediately. His jaw tightened and he pursed his lips but his gaze remained on Charlotte's face. She was really worried about Rick.

"Brother, this is what you call a blessing in disguise. Look at how worried Lottie was," Anne joked.

"Whose fault was it?" Rick looked at her coldly.

"Well, Braden..." Anne hid behind Braden.

Braden shielded her behind him and put on a silly smile. "If you're mad, you can scold me all you want. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on her."

"You both are exactly the same. I wouldn't remember even if I scolded either one of you." Rick grimaced in pain, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Charlotte grabbed his hand and said, "Rick..."

Rick shook his head at her.

The atmosphere was becoming grimmer.

At first, they could still joke around. Now that Rick's situation had turned worse, they didn't even have the mood to talk.

Fortunately, the ambulance arrived very quickly. Rick was brought into the ambulance. Charlotte and Anne got into the car since only two family members were allowed.
