"Ah!" Kendall struggled away shyly and held her face with her hand. "Avery, when did you come over?"
"Excuse me, Kendall. I've been standing here for a long time, but you didn't see me." Avery wore an innocent look. "But don't worry, I covered my eyes when you were about to kiss."
"You!" Kendall glared at him.
Avery spread out his hands. "I am here to wait for Peter and Zoe. Braden and Anne went with the doctor to see Charlotte and Shane. I am the only one left, and I have to take care of the children and wait for them. I originally wanted to chat with you, but you don't seem to need my company. You don't seem to need me at all."
"We didn't..." Kendall's face was getting redder and redder.
"Regardless of what you guys did or didn't do, let's just talk about Rick. He looks a little better. At least, he notices me now." Avery pointed at Rick.
Rick hadn't looked at him just now. Rick had ignored Avery completely. Now Rick was staring at him.
Kendall turned her head and looked at Rick. It seemed that Avery was telling the truth. "It's amazing. Rick, can you hear what Avery is saying?"
Rick nodded. "I can see him. What's the matter?"
"But you didn't see him just now." Kendall was confused. "What's the matter?"
"Rick, do you still remember that you said you wanted to marry me?" Avery wanted to test Rick.
"Are you joking?" Rick smiled helplessly. "Back then, I was being pestered by Kendall and had no choice. You were still looking for ways to deal with the Stevens family. That's why we had such an arrangement."
"Good, you seem back to normal now." Avery took out his phone. "Hold on a minute and stay this way. I'll get the others to observe you."
Rick was speechless.
What's wrong with his current state? Could it be that he had changed when he kissed Kendall? Rick was very helpless, but he was already used to this kind of thing. After all, Avery would often do and say weird things. It was normal for him to do and say something he didn't quite understand.
After a while, all the people upstairs came down. Shane was the first person to approach Rick. He stared at Rick for a few seconds before opening his mouth and asking, "Who am I?"
"Shane, why are you asking weird things like Avery?" Rick was extremely helpless.
"Who am I?" Braden asked.
"... Braden."
"What about me?" Anne also came over.
"If I don't even know my sister, then I'd really be hopeless. Please stop asking. Just tell me what happened, okay? I am really in a panic now."
Everyone, including the doctor, looked at each other in dismay. This could not be explained scientifically or medically.
The point was.
It could not be explained at all.
"Do you still remember when we arrived today?" Anne asked tentatively.
"You..." Rick was stumped. He was silent for a while and then he shook his head. "I only remember that I woke up and then I kissed Kendall here. I don't remember anything else. When did you get here? Maybe I didn't check the time on my watch and forgot."
It was not that he didn't check his watch, but that he didn't remember at all.
"Then, do you still remember who came together?" Charlotte asked.
This was an extremely crucial question.
It could determine whether Rick knew what was going on.
Rick was silent for a while and then shook his head. "I don't remember. I only remember that you came with Shane. Is that right? I think I was the one who asked you to come?"
"He should still be examined," Charlotte said. "He's messed up today's memories and the memories from before."
"Could it be a side effect of hypnosis?" Avery asked.
"No," the doctor replied. "In his situation, he must be having selective memory. It's not a big problem, but it will be difficult for you to deal with the second time. I think we'd better do an examination and see if there's any blood clots in his brain. If there's no blood clot, he needs psychological help."
