Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

After discussing the upcoming plan with Shane, Rick was the first to leave. He was not so sure why Kendall wanted to see him. If it was something important...

Rick left as soon as they finished discussing. He was in such a hurry that Avery looked at his back and joked, "This guy said that he wanted to marry me. Well, I'm all alone now."

"How wonderful is that?" Charlotte couldn't help but think of the first time she met Kendall. She sighed and said, "How nice would it be if our relationship can remain the same as when we first met. Kendall is a good fit for superficial friendship."

"You're too tolerant of her." Avery didn't think that things would be that simple.

"I'm not too tolerant of her. I'm more tolerant of myself."

Avery shrugged.

Charlotte could say whatever she wanted anyway.

Rick returned home. The whole villa was dark without lights. He walked to the bedroom and pushed open the door. It was dark inside too. Thinking that Kendall might have fallen asleep, he did not turn on the lights and planned to walk to his desk to turn on the lamp. But after a few steps, he felt something soft on the tip of his toe.

He frowned and squatted down. When he was about to reach out to touch it, he heard a series of shaky breaths.

"Kendall?"

Rick called, but no one responded. He immediately turned around and switched on the lights.

On the floor, Kendall was curled into a ball. The corner of her forehead and her arms were all wounded. Her clothes were in tatters, and there was an obvious cut on her abdomen. Rick's breath hitched in his throat. He took her into his arms and shouted, "Kendall! Kendall!"

She had already lost consciousness and did not respond. Rick immediately called the ambulance. Fortunately, there was no traffic at this hour, so the ambulance arrived shortly.

Kendall was carried onto the stretcher. After some time of emergency operation, she was finally safe. Rick was dead tired when he sat in the hospital. He didn't know how to face Kendall, and he didn't know how to face Anne either. He was afraid that

Anne was involved in this.

After more than ten minutes, Kendall slowly regained consciousness. The pain in her body made her tremble with fear.

"Kendall?"

When she heard the familiar voice, her tears streamed down at once. But she stubbornly turned her head away and did not look at him.

Rick didn't dare to touch her. He could only extend his hand and wave it in front of her. "Are you awake?"

"No."
