Rick moved closer at once, but Shane was one step ahead of him in getting to the doctor. His gaze darkened as he took a step back.
Anne was very anxious when she saw this scene. She muttered, "What's wrong with my brother? Why did he let Shane talk to the doctor first? It's all because of Shane that Charlotte was like this!"
"Your brother... has a good character." Only Braden dared to say so.
He was stuck between Shane and his wife.
He could afford to upset neither of them.
Anne rolled her eyes. "But of course. If it weren't for his good character, I wouldn't have hooked the two of them up. My brother treats people better than Shane does."
Braden touched his nose helplessly. What could he do if his wife loved her brother?
After Shane had finished his inquiries, Rick had already returned to the ward with Charlotte. This time, he didn't stop Shane from seeing Charlotte.
After all, judging from his behavior, he still cared about her.
The only thing was.
The fire within him that wanted to ruin NC Company and the Fuller family was still burning brightly in his heart.
When he saw that Charlotte was in so much pain, Rick couldn't help but vent his anger on Shane.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take care of his own phone, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Rick took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Mr. Fuller, the incident has occurred and you've seen Charlotte. What's your next move?"
"I'll look into it."
"What you mean is, until now, you still don't know who touched your phone, right?" Rick lifted his gaze and pushed.
"I have no obligation to tell you."
"Then please leave, Mr. Fuller. You're not welcome here."
It was rare for Rick to have such a firm attitude.
Shane didn't make a move. Rick couldn't suppress his anger and threw a punch at him.
Shane could sense the punch coming.
Shane slightly leaned to the side to dodge. He used the bedside table to stabilize his body, and then he retracted his body.
Rick didn't succeed, but he had calmed down. He went back to the bedside, looked at the person on the bed, and said with a sullen expression, "I've made myself very clear. I will find the person who hurt her at all costs."
"You don't have the right to deal with my people."
"Oh? It seems that you already know who the person is. Why are you hiding it? Let me guess, it's Tiffany All..."
"Rick."
The woman in the hospital bed suddenly spoke.
Rick's words came to an abrupt end.
He bent down, and the expression on his face became gentle. "Lottie, you're awake."
"There's no need to say so much. I don't care about what happened. Mr. Fuller, please don't disturb Sheryl and me again in the future." Charlotte licked her lips as she spoke.
Rick immediately brought her a cup of water. She took a sip and continued, "You're here to settle this privately. I've already stated my conditions, Mr. Fuller. If you are not satisfied, we can see each other in court."
Charlotte was even calmer than Rick was. She didn't show any emotion.
Shane frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with her..."
"No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with me either. As long as you can settle your personal affairs, Mr. Fuller, there's no need to report it to us."
Rick suddenly smiled.
Charlotte stretched out her hand and held Rick's hand gently. As she looked at his haggard appearance, she said with distress, "I only hope that the wound on my neck can be healed before we get married."
"It will. If it doesn't, we can postpone the wedding until you get better."
"Rick, if you spoil me like this, I will be a second Anne."
"You can do whatever you want." His voice grew softer and softer.
Charlotte suddenly moved forward, and Rick was stunned. Was she trying to get him to kiss her?
His body leaned slightly downward.
Shane left suddenly, the door slamming loudly, which made the whole building quiet for a few seconds.
Only then did Charlotte lean her body backward and lie on the bed. She winked at Rick and said, "Good cooperation."
"It seems that you know Shane very well." Rick straightened up.
She smiled.
This was Shane's character.
