Juliet opened her eyes and took a look. She smiled faintly and said happily, "Dad, it's Uncle Kenneth's video call."
The little girl happily straightened her head.
"Okay!" Henrick answered the phone with a smile.
"Kenneth!"
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Kenneth!" Juliet greeted him with a smile.
Kenneth smiled. "Juliet, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Through the screen, he could see that Juliet's mental state was very poor.
"Yes! Uncle, I'm sick and I'm sleepy. I want to sleep for a while." Juliet leaned into her father's arms and found a comfortable position, feeling sleepy.
Henrick hugged his daughter tightly and held the phone, but he didn't feel tired at all. "Kenneth, what can I do for you?"
"Yes! Are you feeling better now?" Kenneth asked.
Henrick's eyes darkened. He smiled and replied, "I'm much better."
Kenneth frowned. Looking at the dim look in his brother's eyes, he knew that Henrick was not doing very well.
"How's the progress?" Kenneth asked in a deep voice.
Seeing his brother's expression, Henrick knew that Kenneth didn't believe him, but he didn't want his brother to worry.
"Kenneth, I'm really okay. Don't worry. You should have seen what happened on the Internet. I can only ask you to help me deal with it," he said with a smile.
"I'll handle it, but I don't believe you at all when you say that you're okay!" Kenneth's tone was very serious. "If you really were fine, with that character of yours, you'd say it as soon as the call was connected."
Henrick smiled and did not speak. His brother really knew him too well.
"Ricky, a friend of mine, has returned to the country today, and his medical skills are very good. I asked him to go to Lemmon City to see you. After that, I want to arrange for him to work in a hospital under the name of Alwynn Group."
"All right! Kenneth, that's fine only if it's convenient for you and your friend." Henrick couldn't wait to go back to River City to let Mr. Foster have a look, but he couldn't bear to part with Alice and the children.
Now that someone was going to come to treat him, he was very happy.
Although he said that he didn't care, he was afraid that he was really disabled. He didn't even have the courage to chase Allie.
At night, when he thought of this possibility, he would feel desperate and cold all over.
"Yes! He will contact you in three days. Send me your medical records first, and I will forward them to him now. He is very diligent. As soon as he hears my request, he will ask for your medical records and X-ray films."
"Okay, I'll send them to you later."
"Alright! I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Henrick handed the phone to Mr. Davies, asking him to take pictures of his medical records to send to Kenneth.
Then, he took his daughter back to the room to rest.
Alice was busy in the morning. After lunch, she went to the detention center to see Michelle.
She had informed them in advance, so she would be able to see Michelle as soon as she arrived.
She drove there alone.
The heat in July was unnervingly scorching.
Alice felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable. Maybe it was because she was going to see Michelle, the woman whom she had shared wonderful memories with for many years. However, because Michelle liked Henrick and wanted him, she had changed herself into what she was now.
Alice didn't understand. Just because Michelle liked him, she had to do everything she could to get him, thereby forcing herself into a dead end.
Was it worth it?
In her opinion, it was not worth it at all. She couldn't force herself to get what she couldn't get in her life, could she?
She had loved Henrick for so many years, but she had never tried to forcefully get her hands on him.
On the way to the detention center, Alice was in a bad mood.
