Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Kendall knew her body very well. She also knew that she could get up. If her body wasn't in pain, she could get up. Moreover, it was Rick who would be drinking with Avery, not her. There wasn't a big difference between sitting there or lying on the hospital bed.

So she nodded when Rick asked her. When they arrived at Avery's house, they realized that there were a lot of people there.

Charlotte and Shane were both wearing earphones. One was sleeping with earphones, while the other was monitoring the foreign stock market. Because of the time difference, Shane would normally look at foreign stocks at night.

If he wanted to get the latest information, the best way was to stay up late. Otherwise, everything would have been outdated when he woke up the next morning.

Peter and Zoe were sitting opposite them. Rick and Kendall had seen the two of them before, but there was one man that Rick hadn't.

"This is..."

"A new staff I recruited. He was having dinner with me, so I figured I would bring him over," Peter explained.

Rick nodded. He looked around for a while and asked, "I don't see Avery. Where is he?"

"He went to the wine cellar to get some wine," Peter explained again and paused. "He seems to be in a terrible mood today. I tried to find out why but realized that Avery had deleted all the information about him in Brine before I did, so..."

Rick glanced at Kendall, who was next to him. If he guessed right, the reason Avery asked him to bring Kendall here when there were so many people around him was probably because of something related to Kendall's father or brother.

Moments later.

Avery walked out of the basement. He put the sparkling wine on the coffee table. By using one of his magic tricks, he took out a lemon from nowhere. Then, he picked up a knife and carefully cut the lemon. His eyes on the lemon as if it were a piece of treasure. Other than Rick, Kendall could also notice that he was behaving out of character.

Which sound person would cut a lemon until their eyes turned red? It wasn't even an onion.

Rick and Kendall sat down on the sofa. He placed a thermos cup in her hands and said, "You can't drink alcohol. Drink some water. I'll ask Avery for it."

"Okay."

Kendall nodded obediently.

Rick walked to Avery's side and patted him on the shoulder. "What's wrong with you?"

Avery turned around and was about to push him away, but he didn't realize that he was holding a knife. Rick's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately stepped back. His finger blocked the knife as he stepped back once again.

The knife created a wound on his finger.

"Mr. Jane!"

Zoe immediately stood up.
