Chapter 85 Sleeping in Kendrick''s Arms
Chapter 85 Sleeping in Kendrick''s Arms
Natalie''s expression was devout and focused.
She majored in medicine and had seen various types of scars. Therefore, she knew this scar had not
only been imprinted on Kendrick''s body but also in his heart.
A kiss could not remove it for him.
However, it could make his heart ripple.
Kendrick''s eyes visibly contracted, for he had never expected her to kiss his scar.
No words couldpare with her gentle kiss at the moment.
Therefore, Natalie didn''t say much either. She just silently and gently applied the blood-activating
patches to his knees.
Suddenly, Kendrick said, "On New Year''s Day when I was eight years old, I saw on TV that the
amusement park was very interesting on New Year''s Eve, so I wanted to go there for fun. It was
actually veryte that day, and it was snowing heavily, but my parents always responded to my
requests, saying it would be great for our whole family to have fun there."
The weather was very cold that day, but the lights and fireworks were shining brightly above the city.
It was a peaceful and bustling scene.
"When we came back, the snow was even heavier. When our car turned the corner, the truck across us
suddenly lost control and crashed over."
Natalie''s hand froze.
She looked up at Kendrick in disbelief.
She couldn''t believe that Kendrick actually talked to her about these deeply buried past events,
exposing his wounds once again.
"If I hadn''t wanted to go to the amusement park but had chosen to stay at home, that wouldn''t have
happened, right?"
His expression was now calm, but his eyes turned extremely dark.
However, Natalie knew that he was very sad now.
Also, she could hear a strong sense of self-me in his tone.
That ident had be a barrier deeply buried in his heart that could not be ovee, even though
he had gotten better with the intervention of a psychologist in recent years.
However, once he recalled the past, he would fall back into the muddy swamp and struggle in the
boundless darkness.
Natalie slightly shook her head and held his hand. "That was not 100% caused by you. It just happens
that you are a survivor and so kind. That''s why you feel guilty. No one wants such a thing to happen, so
you shouldn''t take all the me yourself and live with the guilt. Your parents certainly don''t want to see
this either. They love you so much, more than their lives."
Facing Kendrick, she was always so gentle, and every one of her words rippled his heart like a spring

breeze.
"Therefore, they won''t me you. No parents are willing to me their children. Your parents definitely
don''t want to see their favorite child live with a heavy burden of guilt."
"But they all said that it was my fault, reproaching me capricious."
Natalie reached out and touched his cheek. She shook her head, and her eyes instantly wet. "No, that''s
not true. They''re just bullying you. They are trying to make themselves look less cold-blooded by using
words to attack a child who won''t resist and shifting responsibility to him."
Kendrick was stunned.
Natalie wanted to cry.
She thought, "This man looks cold and deep, but there are too many unknown wounds in his heart.
He first encountered such a great change during the critical period of shaping his personality and was
then attacked withnguage by his mean and selfish rtives.
Day after day, his heart is bound to be scarred.
However, he has cherished his life and made positive progress in order not to disappoint his parents.
No one knows that he has been silently licking his wounds like a lonely little cub for countless nights."
Natalie held back the surging tears in her eyes and said gently with a smile, "You know what? Actually,
every one of us is an independent small. Our lost families and friends are the dark matter around
the. Although they can no longer be seen, gravity still revolves around our orbits. If we strive to
make ours emit greater light, we can illuminate their way back.
"Life is not eternal, but love is. Your parents haven''t really left. They''re still by your side in another way."
Suddenly, Kendrick put his hands around her waist.
The next moment, she was abruptly drawn into his arms.
Kendrick pressed his face against her neck and hugged her tightly for a long time, unwilling to part.
He thought, "My life was once a dark and boundless swamp.
I''ve been trapped in eternal darkness.
But one day, a corner of the dark curtain that covered the sky was torn open.
She broke into my world.
She''s like a beam of light shining into my life."
Natalie also reached out and hugged him.
This was the first time that Kendrick had taken the initiative to expose his wounds to her.
It was also the first time he had taken the initiative to hug her.
Natalie knew that only immense trust and dependence could make himpletely open himself up.
She took a deep breath, and her eyes became moist.
She said in her heart, "My poor Kendrick!
He looks cold and heartless, but in fact, he cares about everyone around him very much.
He looks arrogant and cold, but his heart is fragile."
Natalie hugged Kendrick for a long time before she asked, "It''s almost twelve o''clock. Do you want to
go to bed?"
Kendrick had a regr work and rest schedule.
Therefore, she didn''t want to break his routine.
Kendrick didn''t speak, and he didn''t want to let go of his hands wrapping around her waist either.
Natalie could only say, "Then I''ll stay here with you for a while more, okay?"
He nodded slightly and theny down, with one hand still sping around her waist.
Natalie felt that he was a little clingy.
Being embraced by him, Natalie thought, "He''s probably in a bad mood now. After all, he recalled the
painful past today. Therefore, I''d better spend some time with him.
But I haven''t finished my reading, and there are still many obscure words that I don''t understand and
need to be re-tranted.
Oh, there is still data that hasn''t been processed properly, and it needs to be corrected again.
Well, just leave it to Owen himself.
Wait, I''m not sure if Owen has sent me an e-mail reporting today''s diagnosis and treatment results.
Oh my god, there are still many important things undone.
But I''m now trapped by this fragile man who refuses to let go.
He is really pitiful and needs to be cherished.
Therefore, I have to pamper him now. I''ll go back to studyingter."
After making up her mind, Natalie leaned against Kendrick''s chest, and the two of them slept arms in
arms.
Natalie got up at 6 o''clock this morning and argued loudly with others at the meeting for a long time.
Therefore, she was really tired and sleepy.
As a result, she quickly fell asleep in his arms.
Kendrick stared at the small face on his chest.
He thought of what she had just said.
"Life is not eternal, but love is.
Your parents haven''t really left. They''re still by your side in another way."
To him, a thousand words from others were not worth a single word from her.
He uncontrobly reached out his slender fingers and caressed the delicate brows and eyes of the girl
in his arms. Then his hand slid down onto the small bridge of her nose and finallynded on her
delicate lips.
Natalie was so beautiful and gentle.
Kendrick stared at her for a long, long time.
The emotions in his heart surged like a tide.
He thought, "When did I fall in love with her?
Is it when she risked her life to protect me in the restaurant? Or when she surprised me with her
intelligence?
Or is it because after I suggested a divorce, she seemed to have changed her personality?
Or is it because of so many days of getting along with her?"
Kendrick couldn''t figure it out.
He was invincible in business but just a green hand in the love area.
He decided not to bother himself for now.
Looking at the girl in his arms, he gently kissed her on the forehead.
Then he gently caressed her delicate lips with his index finger. He could hardly control his impulse to
kiss her.
