 Chapter 1 I Wont Get a Divorce

    Chapter 1 I Won''t Get a Divorce


    Chapter 1 I''m Not Getting a Divorce!


    "How is the situation?"


    "Mrs. Ramsey''s wound is a little deep, but the bleeding has been stopped. There is no serious injury!"


    "Does she need to be sent to the hospital?"


    "Not yet. Don''t worry, let her get some rest..."


    The sound of the conversation outside the door gradually brought back Natalie''s consciousness. She


    tried to move. The sharp pain from her side waist made her whole nerves tremble.


    She waspletely awake.


    With a "click", the door was pushed open.


    Then came the sound of a wheelchair running over the floor.


    Someone came to her bedside.


    Natalie sat up slowly, leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the man in the wheelchair in front


    of her in a confused way.


    He had defined facial features and was handsome. His lips were tight, and he looked at her calmly.


    There was no emotion on his face.


    The dim light in the room made his jawline clear.


    Kendrick Ramsey?


    Her legal husband?


    A memory that did not belong to her crossed her mind.


    Natalie''s pupils dted instantly.


    "I will not pursue the matter of Orion anymore," After a while, the man spoke slowly, his voice was cold,


    but it was also clear and pleasant. "This is the divorce agreement," He put a stack of documents on the


    cab beside the bed, and his voice was calm, "I have signed it."


    Natalie was stunned!


    Was she getting divorced?


    Natalie shook her head, closed her eyes, and realized that she was transported to a book when she


    opened her eyes again.


    In a book about a bossy man rmended by her friend, she said that the disabled and scheming


    man must be her ideal type.


    The man in front of her was Kendrick, a 26-year-old male supporting role and brother of Maggie, the


    leading character. Ken was a business tycoon. He was permanently disabled due to an ident in his


    childhood and could only move in a wheelchair.


    She became his early dead wife, a woman who ran away with her first love and finally died in a car


    ident. She was a humiliation to the Ramsey family.


    The original role was an illegitimate daughter, who was married by her family. Her sisters didn''t want to


    marry the disabled man, so they pushed her out to marry him.


    But she loved her first love in her heart.


    It was Orion, who was just mentioned.


    The current plot was that Orion stabbed Kendrick''s guys with a knife and he should be sent to jail, but


    the original role forced Kendrick to release him, and she stabbed herself, saying that they were even.


    Let''s not talk about this twisted logic.


    It is very mean of her to stab herself in the face of her husband for another man. No wonder she was


    getting divorced.


    She was at a loss. Kendrick didn''t what''s on her mind, and he spoke again, "I left you real estate and


    money. It is enough for you to live without the Quinn family''s support till your next life."


    When he finished talking, he didn''t have the patience to continue the conversation. He pushed the


    wheelchair and was about to leave.


    "Wait!" Natalie sat up straight, but her wound was torn by ident. She gasped in pain, stared at his


    eyes, bit her lips, and said, "Honey, I''m not getting a divorce!"


    Kendrick frowned slightly.


    Getting divorced and going abroad with Orion,wasn''t that what she has been looking forward to?


    Besides, what did she call him?


    Honey?


    "About Orion, I''ll leave it to thew, he''ll get what he deserves," she added.


    Kendrick squinted, and his eyes fell on her hands as she squeezed the corners of the quilt.


    More than ten hours ago, she confronted him with a knife and forced him to release the man.


    Now it suddenly changed...


    Was it to avoid divorce?


    "Seriously?"


    The man''s voice sank.


    He was badass and said it with an air of authority.


    "Yes!" Natalie nodded, "I''m not getting a divorce. I won''t interfere in Orion''s affairs. He stabbed your


    men and should get legal punishment."


    Kendrick sneered and said, "So, why did you stab yourself?"


    Natalie kept a straight face and said, "I lost control of my hand."


    The man put away his smile and his voice became deeper than before, he said, "Think it through, I will


    not give people a second chance."


    "I do," Natalie looked at his face sincerely.


    His face was handsome. Even put in the entertainment industry, its appearance was undefeatable.


    What was more, those young celebrities didn''t have such character and vigor.


    "Before tomorrow, you can change your mind," said Kendrick, turning and leaving the room with a


    wheelchair.


    I won''t regret it.


    Natalie said in her heart.


    In the book, the original role forced Kendrick to release Orion by hurting herself. She signed the divorce


    agreement, took the money, and was about to go abroad with Orion, but she was killed in a car


    ident, and her body was never found.


    Orion took her money secretly to go abroad without even showing up in her funeral, and the car


    ident was nned by Orion.


    Thinking of this, Natalie couldn''t help sighing.


    the original role was reckless and couldn''t see the man''s heart.


    That was why her ending was so miserable.


    --


    At night, Natalie had a fever. Her wound hurt so bad that she was unable to sleep.


    It was hot in midsummer. She was burning. She felt her temperature, which was at least 102 degrees


    Fahrenheit.


    She turned on the light, saw the family medicine box at the head of the bed, and found antipyretics and


    painkillers in it. Bearing the pain, she poured herself a ss of water to take the medicines.


    In the original world, she graduated with a doctor''s degree at the age of 22 and studied under the


    peerless sage Easton Wright. She was proficient in traditional medicine and modern medicine and


    used the scalpel to perfection.


    Natalie had been busy with her work, and her bestie rmended her a novel, saying that Ken, would


    be the kind she loved, and Ken''s charm crushed the hero''s.


    Indeed, Kendrick, who was cold-hearted and devoted to his career, had won her heart that she almost


    forgot who the leading man was.


    Natalie turned off the light, felt the wound on her side waist, and took a breath in the dark.


    It hurt so bad!


    Her nerves were pulled to the limit and about to break.


    She closed her eyes.


    Some memories came out.


    The original role sold her engagement ring for money. she gave the money to Orion for investment, but


    he lost it all by gambling.


    She knew that Kendrick liked quietness, but she took her friends home for a partyte at night.


    She changed the entrance password without Kendrick''s consent. When he returned home from a


    business trip, he was blocked outside his own house on a snowy night and had a fever for three days.


    After that, she just said she forgot it.


    She even told him she couldn''t have happiness with him, and her life was ruined.


    There were also many provocations and unreasonable behaviors. To fulfill his responsibilities as a


    husband in this marriage, Kendrick had repeatedly tolerated and conceded to her.


    Until this time--


    She stabbed herself for another man.


    With these confused memories, Natalie fell asleep.


    She only slept for a few hours, and suddenly, she was awakened by a sharp female voice.


    "Natalie, are you there?"


    "Ms. Park, Mrs. Ramsey is resting. You can''t go in."


    "I''m her best friend. Why can''t I go in? When she wakes up, I''ll tell her that you were blocking me from


    seeing her, let''s see how she picks you up!"


    The door was flung open.


    "Natalie, why are you still sleeping? Orion will be prosecuted for at least ten years. Didn''t you say you


    would help him? Howe the result is still the same?"


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    The discontented and sharp voice sounded in the quiet room, and immediately pierced Natalie''s


    eardrum.


    She didn''t sleep well because of the pain, and now she was woken up.


    Rage flooded all over her mind.


    Natalie opened her eyes and looked coldly at the uninvited guest in front of her.

 Chapter 2 This Way It Wont Hurt That Much

    Chapter 2 This Way It Won''t Hurt That Much


    Chapter 2 This Way It Won''t Hurt That Much


    Litzy almost forgot what she was going to say after seeing her cold eyes. After a while, she said, "Nat,


    why are you looking at me so aggressively? Do you know that Orion is going to be sentenced?"


    "I know!"


    "You know?" Litzy suddenly raised her voice and said, "Why are you still so calm? Aren''t you going to


    do something? He loves you so much and he stabbed people because of you!"


    This bestie was so noisy.


    Besides, she was not a good character in the original story.


    She knew that Orion was involved with Natalie''s death, and she was still willing to stay with him and


    spent the divorce fee that Kendrick gave Natalie at ease.


    "What for me?" Natalie said lightly.


    "..." Litzy did not dare a response, and soon she said, "The bodyguard stopped him from seeing you.


    He started in a hurry."


    Natalie closed her eyes.


    Orion was not to see her but to provoke Kendrick.


    At that time, she was standing beside Kendrick. He approached with a sense of danger and that was


    why he was stopped by Kendrick''s bodyguard.


    Orion stabbed Kendrick''s guys in public out of a false sense of pride when he was put to shame.


    "He should have been sentenced because he hurt people!" Natalie was righteous.


    "You..." Litzy said angrily, "Natalie, what''s the matter with you? Is Kendrick threatening you?"


    Kendrick did not threaten her, it was quite the opposite.


    Natalie looked around.


    The maids gathered around her door and dared note in.


    Litzy was stopped by maids before, so sheined about it to the original role and cried for a long


    time.


    The original roleshed out anger at the maids. She yelled whether they didn''t take her seriously, and


    why did they dare to stop her friends?


    Kendrick knew about it, he just said gave his wife whatever she needed.


    So now Litzy was unbridled and dared to break into her bedroom in the morning.


    Natalie sat up slowly, her fingers pressed on her temples, and said to herself silently: I won''t be mad at


    myself.


    "I know that Kendrick must have threatened you. He can''t stand your liking for Orion, so he wants to kill


    him. Nat, Orion helped you so many times when you were bullied before, and you will help him this


    time, right?"


    Litzy sat straight on the bed, shook Natalie''s shoulders, and said, "He can''t be sentenced, or his life will


    be ruined."


    Natalie was shaken by her and her wound almost cracked. She said hoarsely, "Help!"


    Was this "bestie" a nut?


    Why did she behave so unruly?


    However, her voice was too small. The maids outside couldn''t hear her and knew her previous rules.


    They dared note in easily.


    "Nat!" Litzy pressed her shoulders reluctantly and said, "You must save him. Go begging Kendrick,


    kneel if you have to. He will listen to you."


    "Save your ass," Natalie thought.


    A burst of pain came from the wound. She was trembling. A cold sweat came out of her head. She


    stretched out her hand to push Litzy, but she had no strength to make her move. Even the phrase "let


    go" seemed weak.


    Natalie looked aside. When she saw the cup on the bedside table, she didn''t hesitate to take it up and


    pour it on Litzy''s head.


    "Ah..." Litzy screamed.


    The drops of water rolled down her cheeks.


    "Natalie, what are you doing?" Litzy finally said, "Why are you pouring on me?"


    "Get out!"


    Natalie''s impatience had reached the extreme.


    She didn''t hit the woman because she didn''t want to leave Kendrick with a violent image, so she


    restrained a little.


    Litzy was frightened by her awe-inspiring manner and was shocked for a moment.


    But she was also difficult to deal with. She thought the old Natalie couldn''t leave her, so she won''t stop


    until she reached her goal. After wiping her face, she immediately choked and said, "What about


    Orion? I heard that he will be in prison for at least ten years. ording to Kendrick''s style, he will die in


    prison. Can you stand to see him die?"


    The sound of a wheelchair came from outside the door.


    It should be Kendrick.


    Natalie used every ounce of her strength to shout, "Save me, save me, Kendrick!"


    The door was pushed open.


    Baron, the housekeeper, wheeled Kendrick in.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He went to work out this morning. When he came back, he heard that his wife''s best friend came to see


    her. He didn''t say much and was about to go to the study room. He heard her crying for help in the


    room.


    The room was a mess. Natalie was lying on the bed, weak and pathetic, "Honey, she is so noisy,


    please send her away!"


    Kendrick gave Baron a look.


    Baron immediately went to Litzy, maintained her dignity, and said, "Please leave!"


    Litzy went mad again.


    "Don''t send me away, Nat, are you under control? Orion loves you so much. You can''t turn away from


    him. Don''t you love him anymore? Is someone threatening you, Nat?"


    Natalie waved her hand.


    "Get out of here!" She said in her heart.


    It was so noisy.


    She didn''t sleep well.


    Litzy didn''t cherish her first chance, so the second time...


    Baron yanked Litzy''s cor and dragged her away.


    --


    Instant silence all around.


    Natalie touched her wound as if it was cracked. The gauze was prated by a little blood stain. She


    looked up and said, "My wound is cracked."


    Kendrick''s expression was very cold. He said faintly, "I''ll let the doctore."


    He didn''t say she deserved it, in fact, he already took care of her feelings.


    After saying these words, he was ready to leave, but she stopped him, "Don''t go!"


    Natalie was in pain. Ayer of mist came up in her eyes and she exined, "She suddenly came to me


    in the morning and asked me to save Orion. After I refused, she shook me like crazy, so my wound


    cracked, and it hurts."


    Her eyes were red and rather pitiful.


    She used to be sharp, noisy, and extreme, but she never had such a pitiful expression.


    In the face of her grievance, Kendrick was stunned for a moment, but only said, "Be patient, the doctor


    will arrive soon."


    Natalie reached out to him.


    He was confused.


    Natalie sighed in her heart, she held back her pain and grabbed his hand on his knee, entwined her


    fingers with his, and said, "This way, it won''t hurt that much."


    Kendrick''s pupils shrank, and subconsciously pulled back his hand, but she won''t let him.


    They looked at each other, Her eyes were clear with tears and some begging. The man''s stiff fingers


    slowly softened.


    Natalie''s hand was small and soft. When they sped hands together, he could feel her temperature


    transferred to the palm of his hand.


    "Can you forbid her toe to our ce in the future?"


    "She is your friend, and you can make the decision."


    Kendrick''s voice was still cold.


    He was as cold as a piece of ice. Behind his seemingly easygoing and polite attitude was indifference.


    When he was young his parents died and his legs were disabled, he did not have many people to


    apany him on the way growing up. As a member of the Ramsey family, he could receive very few


    favors.


    Even so, he still had a ce in the Ramsey family with strong thinking ability and strategic vision, which


    could not be underestimated.


    The world where the original story began was two yearster when she was dead, and he became the


    business leader. He could control the rise and fall of the Ramsey family in his wheelchair.


    If it was not because of disability.


    His achievements would go far beyond these.


    Natalie stared at his legs. His legs wrapped in ck casual pants looked like ordinary people, but he


    could never stand up.


    If she could help him recover...

    Chapter 3 Bent Down And Kissed Him.


    Thinking about this, she was so excited.


    However, soon she felt discouraged.


    If her teacher Easton was here, he might be able to help him recover.


    Easton shocked the medicalmunity by bringing the president back to his feet after a gunshot


    wound left him with a spinal disability.


    Now Easton wasn''t here, and she was not sure.


    Kendrick noticed that she stared at his legs.


    Only this time...


    She didn''t show any dislike or loathing as she usually did.


    Instead, she looked at his legs withregret and sympathy.

    --


    The doctor arrived soon and helped Natalie treat her wounds.


    Her stomach rumbled.


    She was obviously hungry.


    She said with a little embarrassment, "I''m hungry."


    After dealing with Litzy this morning, she was very hungry.


    Kendrick told the servant Ashlynn to send her breakfast.


    Her breakfast was light rice porridge, boiled eggs, milk and some fruit.


    Ashlynn came in and saw their fingers crossed, and she almost knocked the te over.


    Madam had always despised her husband, and even said unkind words to him.


    Why was she holding his hand now?


    "Thank you!"


    Ashlynn''s hands wasshaking because of what she heard, and she almost knocked over the milk.


    What happened?


    Madam seemed to be a different person.


    Yesterday the Madam was angry with her husband, and she even hurt herself.


    Ashlynn quickly said, "Madam you don''t need tothank me.That''s my duty."


    Although the original owner of this body scolded maids when she was in a bad mood, maids were


    dedicated to herand neverdid anything harm to her secretly. Her temper was so bad that she might


    have been murdered by her roommates if she was a college student.


    After Ashlynn left, Natalie pointed to the te in front of her and said, "I can''t sit for long because I''m in


    pain. Could you feed me?"


    She was pale and weak now. But she still looked beautiful. She had a delicate face, and the corners of


    her eyes drooped slightly, looking innocent and pure.


    Especially when she said this, her eyes blinked, and her curling eyshes quivered. She


    looked adorable and pitifully.


    No man could refuse her.


    Except Kendrick.


    "Ashlynn can help you." He refused.


    Undaunted, Natalie pursed her lips. "I want you to feed me. Please?"


    To his surprise, she was ying cute.


    "I don''t want to bother Ashlynn toe back. Please, just take good care of a weak poor wounded!"


    Kendrick looked away. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "What do you want to eat?"


    He agreed!


    Natalie was so happy, and quickly said, "Rice porridge is a bit hot, I want to eat an egg first!"


    His long fingers picked up an egg on the dinner te, knocked it, and slowly peeled the shell.


    Natalie stared at his slender hands and wondered how lucky she was.


    Kendrick didn''t know what she was thinking. He patiently peeled an egg and wanted her to take it by


    herself, but she opened her mouth and indicated him to feed her.


    "..."Kendrick passed the egg to her mouth and Natalie bit off half of it with yolk.


    The man seemed to remember something and frowned.


    "You don''t eat egg yolks, do you?


    The original owner used to let the kitchen prepare milk and eggs in the morning, but she only


    ate egg white and thrown yolks.


    Natalie, "..."


    She struggled to swallow the egg in her mouth and said, "I am sick now. I should pay attention to


    bnced nutrition."


    His eyes were inquisitive.


    After she woke upst night, she was a different person.


    The wound was on the abdomen, not the brain.


    Natalie looked into his probing eyes and wondered if he had noticed something. She narrowed her


    eyes and smiled at him.


    As she expected, Kendrick was a little ufortable with her smile. Then he lowered his eyes and


    stopped askingquestions.


    Kendrick hadn''t ever taken care of anyone, so he fed her porridge without even cooling it. He directly


    held the scoop to her lips.


    Natalie put out her tongue and touched it carefully. "It''s a little hot. Blow on it."


    She looked like a cute little cat.


    This made Kendrick more suspicious. She really did not hurt the brain?


    Still, he listened to her advise. He gave it a few gentle blows before he put it to her lips.


    He was a gentle man, as you can see. As long as you don''t rub him the wrong way, he didn''t get angry


    with you.


    The description of him in the book is: "Kendrick is gentle,courteous on the surface. People who really


    know him know that this is not him. He is sharp and strong in his heart. He is confident to win anything


    he wants, no matter people or things, and he will not let anyone has chance to touch it. At the same


    time, he is sensible enough to know when to push and when not to."


    When breakfast was almost finished, Natalie suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to wash my face and brush


    my teeth!"


    Kendrick, "..."


    -- -- --


    In the study.


    The family doctor reported to Kendrick about Natalie''s condition and said that with good rest and


    change of dressing, the stitches could be removed in a few days.


    Kendrick asked, "The wound is only in the waist and abdomen, right?"


    "Yes, she had a fever because of inmmation, but she is in good health and her fever is gone now."


    "Can fever affect the central nervous system?"


    "Yes, but this doesn''t happen on Madame at present."


    No?


    Kendrick asked no more questions. "Thank you!" he said politely.


    After the doctor left, he sat alone at his desk. He opened thefinancial books beside him and put them


    back. He hesitated for a while, then took out a book from the shelf. New Progress in the Study of


    Human Behavior.


    There was a knock on the door. "May Ie in?" It was a girl''s clear and sweet voice.


    "Come in!"


    Kendrick closed the book.


    Natalie opened the door.


    "You have something to tell me?"


    Natalie nodded.


    "I came to apologize to you." she said suddenly.


    Apologize?


    For the first time in history.


    Thest thing the original owner would do was apologize. Because of her unfortunate family, she was


    stubborn and extreme. She always med others, and never admitted that she made any mistake.


    "I was stupid and I did a lot of unreasonable things before. And it hurts you." Natalie lowered


    her head. Since she inherited the original owner''s body, she thought she should apologize on her


    behalf,"I won''t do this again."


    The man''s face was hidden in the dim light of the study, and his expression was not clear. His outline


    gave rise to a slight coolness in the intecing of light and shade.


    After a moment he gave augh.


    "Thest time you said that was three months ago." Kendrick closed his eyes. When he opened eyes


    again, his eyes were full ofplex emotions. "Three monthster, you stabbed yourself to force me to


    let go of your old lover."


    The woman in front of him.


    She had broken her word many times.


    He hated cheating and backtracking.


    "I don''t know why you changed your mind when you woke up, but I gave you a chance to divorce." He


    emphasized every word, "The Ramsey family is not a ce for fun. Do not cross the line ever again."


    "It won''t happen again." Natalie, clutching her wound, walked in slowly and said to him face to face,


    "From now on, I only love you."


    Kendrick showed no expression.


    "I''ll prove it to you!" She went round the desk and suddenly bent down and kissed him on the cheek.

 Chapter 4 She Saw His Ears Turned Red.

    Chapter 4 SheSaw His Ears TurnedRed.


    Chapter 4 She Saw His Ears Turned Red.


    Natalie lost her mind and kissed him.


    It was the first time she ever kissed a man.


    The man he loved was in front of her. How could she not take the initiative to do it?


    But she was so nervous that she bent and got up so quickly. She forgot she was hurt. Then she


    gasped, and managed to stand still by pressing the desk.


    "I know you don''t believe me now, but I''ll prove what I say."


    She let out a hiss.


    Her movement influenced the wound. It hurt!


    Kendrick said nothing. Fortunately, the light in the study was dim now, or she could definitely see his


    red ears. After silence, his face showed some anger. "You shouldn''t move because of the wound. Go


    back to lie down."


    "I''ll be right back."


    Although the wound still hurt, Natalie was relieved.


    When she read the book, she admired and loved Kendrick. Although he was a male match, he even


    more powerful and attractive than the male master. After all, when the male master met him, he still


    had to bow and call him "brother."


    Now that she was in the book and was his rightful wife, she would treat him well. And if she could heal


    his leg, this trip would be worth.


    Natalie was at home recovering.


    The Ramsey family''s servants also tried their best to take care of her, and Kendrick treated her well in


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    all aspects.


    It took her some time to figure out her situation and her rtionships.


    The original owner was the illegitimate daughter of the Quinn family. She had two elder sisters and a


    younger sister. Her birth was her original sin, so she didn''t live well in the Quinn family.


    She was the one who took the me for the bad.


    Her sisters were not willing to the marriage with the Ramsey family, because they know they would


    marry Kendrick, who was disabled. So they forced her to marry to him.


    She inserted a piece of sweet watermelon from the fruit bowl into the mouth, and the phone rang now.


    Call note was Nora Glover.


    Natalie unlocked her phone and answered itzily.


    "Hello?"


    "The day after tomorrow is your father''s 50th birthday. Take Kendrick ande to celebrate your


    father''s birthday."


    Natalie said, "You think you can ask Kendrick toe as you want?"


    "Natalie, what''s your attitude?" Nora heard that she dared to talk back, then she suddenly pissed off


    and hurriedly told Reuben Quinn, "Listen to this little bastard. She thinks I beg her toe?"


    Reuben got on the phone and said, "Nat, bring Kendrick. It''s been over a year since you got married,


    but you and Kendrick haven''t been home together. He''s disabled, but he''s also your husband. The


    Quinn family is a noble family with a good reputation. a For a son-inw, neglecting our family is wrong.


    Youe together. Do you hear me?"


    Natalie frowned.


    Kendrick had trouble moving, and he rarely attended such events. Besides, he would receive their


    hostile stares. Thinking about it, she felt embarrassed.


    Thest time they went to a party together, the original owner came back angrily and said she felt


    ashamed to live because everyoneughed at her for marrying a disabled man.


    She didn''t dare say that in front of Kendrick.


    But of course he knew, soter he avoided being in the same ce with her.


    "I don''t have time, and he is busy."


    "What do you do?" Norn was mercilessly mocking, "You don''t work or study after you married. You can


    be the rich and leisurely Mrs. Ramsey, and you even don''t have to give birth. If it was not your father


    and me, you can never live such a good life. Don''t be greed. And don''t think that marrying into the


    Ramsey family is superior to us so you dare not to listen to your father."


    Natalie hang up the phone.


    They could force the original owner, but don''t think they could threaten her.


    But Natalie didn''t expect what they could do.


    Soon, Seth called Kendrick and said that it was an inws birthday party and that he should stop his


    work and go to congratte him with Natalie. He couldn''t let others say that the Ramsey family was


    arrogant and impolite.


    Kendrick, who never contradicted his grandfather, agreed.


    He was working in thepany. He hung up the phone and edited a message to Natalie.


    [I will go to the Quinn family with you the day after tomorrow. I will tell Nigel prepare the gift.]


    Natalie frowned when she received the message and sat up.


    They couldn''t swing her, and they dared to disturb Kendrick.


    She calmed down for a moment, edited the input box, and finally asked, "Are you free now?"


    [Just say.]


    Natalie called him. As soon as he answered, she asked directly, "The day after tomorrow, do you have


    to go?"


    Kendrick was silent for a while, said, "It''s Grandpa''s decision. I can''t say no. I''ll leave as soon as I give


    them my present. I won''t embarrass you!"


    Natalie was confused.


    He seemed to misunderstand.


    He thought she didn''t want to be in a same ce with him.


    She didn''t mean that!


    "No, no, that''s not what I meant." Natalie exined hurriedly. "It is inconvenient for your move and you


    don''t love these activities. Reuben called me, and I told her directly that I don''t have time and refused. I


    didn''t expect him to go to call Grandpa."


    Reuben could control himself and abandoned her mom, and let the original owner born with the original


    sin and forced her to marry for interests. She has no feelings for this father.


    The original owner was grateful for his upbringing.


    She didn''t have any.


    "No need to apologize." Kendrick said quietly, "I''ll continue the meeting."


    Natalie sighed as she listened to the beeps on the phone.


    He seemed to misunderstand her, thinking that she did not want to appear with him.


    She just didn''t want him to go to that hostile ces.


    Natalie thrown her phone on the bed and gritted her teeth. She would let Reuben and Nora pay.


    The Quinn family dinner would started at seven o''clock.


    Natalie needed to be here at 6:00.


    The Nigel called her in advance. He asked carefully her to watch the time and not to keep her husband


    waiting.


    The original owner had no concept of time and often kept Kendrick waiting for a long time.


    But she was different.


    As a doctor, time was important to her.


    Natalie opened the cloakroom and picked out a long Burgundy dress with a slit and suspender. The


    slim design made her look tall.


    She looked at herself in the mirror, vaguely remembering that this body was twenty-two years old.


    So young!


    Fair skin, beautiful face, slender figure.


    What a beauty!


    But since childhood she was suppressed, she was self-abasement and sensitive. She didn''t have good


    character and a wide knowledge. She was even not smart.


    She straightened her back, touched her face in the mirror, and said, "Now that I am here, I will live well


    for you."


    At 5:30, she got ready and went downstairs on time to show up in front of Kendrick''s car.


    Nigel looked at her and was stunned. Why did thedy look so noble, beautiful and cool?


    He withdrawn back his eyes quickly, and opened the door for her.


    Natalie thanked him and got into the car, checked the time on her watch, shook her wrist and smiled at


    the man sitting beside her. "I was on time."


    She looked like a child asking for praise. She smiled with lovely crooked eyes.


    Kendrick looked up from the files and turned to look at her.


    At that nce, he was stunned.

 Chapter 5 Her Lips Touched His Lips.

    Chapter 5 Her Lips TouchedHis Lips.


    Chapter 5 Her Lips Touched His Lips.


    She wore her hair in a bun and reveal her long neck and delicate corbones.


    Her makeup was retro. Curved long and thin eyebrow and earth color eyeshadow. She drawn a tiny


    upward curve on originally slightly drooping eye tail with eyeliner outline, so she seemed more


    charming. She used matte positive red first and slightly, and added dark red mist lip ze.


    The wine red dress made the skin looked like jade, glossy and fine.


    In one word. Beautiful!


    Natalie spent two hours on her makeup today.


    She opted for a cool retro look to impress the Quinn family. She asked Ashlynn and Alisson to give


    opinions, and got the praise of both of them.


    They was a little afraid, wondering why thedy was suddenly willing to talk to them, and to ask politely


    for their opinion.


    Natalie caught the surprise in his jade eyes.


    She pursed her lips and chuckled.


    Kendrick looked away.


    He looked down at the files again.


    "Am I pretty?" The girl''s ringing voice sounded like the wind chimes. She asked with expectation.


    "..." He paused for a moment and said, "Yes."


    Perfunctory!


    He didn''t even look at her.


    Natalie slightlyined, "You even didn''t look. You talked to me without looking at me. Perfunctory!"


    "I saw!" His voice was low and hoarse.


    "Then look at me again!"


    This sentence surprised Nigel who was driving.


    Madam flirted with the CEO today.


    This was unprecedented!


    From childhood, women would admire Kendrick''s face and intelligence. But faced with his disability,


    they stayed away, let alone dare to offence him.


    Natalie''s lips curled and her eyes were full of smiles.


    He seemed a little shy!


    Well, in that case she should pay more effort. She moved closer, almost to his ear, and lowered her


    voice, softly and slowly, and gasped, "You''re not looking at me. What are you looking at? Hmm?"


    "Hmm" was drawn out at the end.


    Her best friend had taught her that close physical contact was good for rtionships.


    Kendrick''s hand on the file was clenched, and the veins bulged.


    His breathing be quick significantly.


    "Project proposal."


    He looked up suddenly after saying.


    Natalie did not expect him to look at her, and met his cool, deep eyes.


    They looked at each other for a moment. Then his face came close and stopped a centimetre from the


    tip of her nose. Their lips were almost touched.


    Natalie put her hand on the chair and looked into his dark eyes. Some thoughts came into her mind.


    Did he want to do that?


    The idea hasn''t popped up yet.


    There was a slight pain in her jaw.


    Kendrick pressed her chin and ran his fingers across it. "It''s uneven." He said calmly.


    Natalie, "..."


    She quickly took out the makeup mirror and checked. The makeup on the chin seemed to be uneven.


    When Natalie pressed the powder, she felt like something was wrong. Why was it her whose heart


    beating so fast? And she clearly felt her earlobes burning.


    Kendrick continued to look down at his paper. His profile perfectly defined. His shirt cor was neat,


    and he matched it with a cor pin for solemnity. Every detail was perfect.


    Natalie put away her powder, then took out a small box to put earrings.


    There was no time. She ned to put it in the car.


    The right one was done, but the left one...


    She had wound and it was a little hurt when she held hands up for long time.


    The car soon sounded her ringing voice, "I can''t put on the earrings. Can you help me?"


    "Try more times." The man declined her.


    "I have tried many times. But the wound still hurts and I have trouble acting." Natalie yed the


    woman, said, "I have done one side. Please help me with the other side!"


    "..."


    Nigel drove in front, and he was uncalm.


    Maybe Madam hurt the brain!


    Why did she flirting with the CEO?


    And in this...great way?


    Asking a man to put on your earrings was one of the best ways to flirt with a man.


    Natalie reached out and shook Kendrick''s sleeve, literally pleading, "I can''t wear only one earring


    before the Quinn family. How disrespectful!"


    With one hand holding her earlobe, Kendrick looked up without any emotions and picked up the other


    earring in his palm.


    He kept the distance.


    But the earrings hadplicated shape. After several attempts Kendrick couldn''t put them on, so he


    moved closer spontaneously.


    From this Angle, Kendrick could see her long neck, her delicate corbones, and...the fine curvy of the


    breast.


    Nigel suddenly braked at the moment.


    Natalie was unsteady, and her lip touched his lips.


    The atmosphere was somewhat condensed.


    Kendrick spontaneous tightened his hands.


    "Hiss..." Natalie took a breath and frowned. "You hurt me!"


    Kendrick turned his face and suddenly said in a low voice, "Nigel, can you drive?"


    Nigel had no idea what was going on on the back, but he deserved to be med for the situation.


    Kendrick was disabled, and he was very strict with the driver. The driver couldn''t spill a drop of water


    from a full cup while driving.


    "Sorry, sorry, there was a car suddenly came in."


    Nigel quickly exined.


    Kendrick didn''t pursue this. He withdrew his hand and said to Natalie, "OK!"


    "Thank you!" Natalie touched her earlobe. It was burning.


    At six o ''clock, the car arrived at the Quinn mansion.


    Natalie opened the door herself and got out of the car. She stood at the gate of the Quinn family vi,


    feeling a sense of fear.


    It was the body''s natural stress response.


    How miserable she was bullied so that after the soul left, the body was still afraid?


    She came back to her senses and saw Nigel pushing Kendrick''s wheelchair. She wanted to help him,


    but Nigel stopped her. He smiled gently and politely, saying, "Madam, I''ll do it. It''s not convenient for


    you in this dress today."


    Deep down, he was not sure she would do anything as outrageous as thest time.


    She let go on the way down. Luckily the wheelchair had an emergency brake and stopped, or


    Kendrick''s life would in danger.


    Natalie, who was not stupid, could see the deep guard behind his gentle smile.


    Some memory came to her mind, and she withdrew her handS and said, "Well, be careful."


    "I will. Don''t worry."


    Natalie followed them. She was depressed. The original owner often did something unreasonable, and


    even threatened Kendrick''s life. Kendrick never punished her, but he was alert to her.


    She didn''t get away the depressing mood until she met Reuben and Nora.


    "Kendrick, Net, you''re here." Nora came with a smiling face and said, "Father just worried whether you


    wille. I said they are all respect you and they will certainlye. See, I was right."


    She had a high-pitched voice and a thin face with high cheekbones. When she spoke, especially when


    she made expressions, her face skin was pulled as if it would drop many pounds of powder.


    "We were stuck in traffic so we arete." Kendrick exined gently.


    Natalie was silent.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Nora looked at her. A surprise shed in her eyes. This bastard was resplendent today. She was totally


    different from the self-abased girl in the past.


    Was the environment of the Ramsey family so good that could change a person?


    "Net, why didn''t say hello? I know you are married, but don''t forget this family. You were brought up by


    this family."


    Natalie smiled, and said in a gentle voice, "When I see people, I will say hello."

 Chapter 6 Picked it Up

    Chapter 6 Picked it Up


    Chapter 6 Picked it Up


    Nora first thought that Natalie was talking nonsense, but when she noticed the sarcasm hidden under


    Natalie''s gentle face, she realized that Natalie was satirizing them, so she couldn''t help saying to


    Reuben,"Reuben, your daughter..."


    "Nigel, give me the gift." Kendrick interrupted her.


    Nigel handed the gift to Kendrick, and then Kendrick handed it to Reuben respectfully, with his face


    slightly raised, "This is Fish and Bird painted by Pierce ke. I heard that Mr. Quinn was fond of Mr.


    ke''s paintings, so I gave it as a gift for your birthday."


    Reuben was arty and loved to collect famous paintings.


    The fifty-year-old middle-aged man was stunned and it took him a long time to calm down, "Is it Pierce


    ke''s original painting? That''s expensive!"


    There was an imperceptible disgust in Kendrick''s eyes, but his voice was still gentle, "I bought it from


    Mr. ke''s grandson. The price cannotpare to my respect for you."


    "Yes." Reuben was happy, "Thank you so much, Kendrick. I will immediately frame it and hung it in my


    study. The dinner will start in an hour, please wait for a while."


    Nigel said, "Mr. Quinn, my boss still has a lot of work to do. He especially took some time out to


    congratte you at your birthday banquet. But there are so many guests, and we need to leave now.


    My boss will arrange another time when he''s free. He also wants to appreciate some paintings with


    you."


    ¡°So?¡± Reuben was totally attracted by the sky-high Fish and Bird, and he didn''t even understand


    Nigel''s rejection.


    Kendrick had already turned around and was ready to leave.


    Reuben didn''t dare to stop him, and hurriedly said,"Then... Nat, you stay here. It''s not easy for all of us


    to gather together."


    It was Reuben''s birthday, and he would lose face if his daughter and son-inw were both absent.


    What''s more, Kendrick''s status in the business world had improved significantlypared to a year


    ago when he married Natalie.


    It was natural for Reuben to depend on this big "tree".


    Natalie smiled and said, "Okay, I''ll stay here."


    Kendrick put his hand on the wheelchair and didn''t say anything.


    "Darling!" Natalie suddenly turned to smile at Kendrick. She pushed his wheelchair and said, "I''ll take


    you to the car first!"


    After speaking, Natalie immediately walked forward before Nigel could react.


    She couldn''t be discouraged and felt lost.


    Everything she wanted must be gained by herself.


    Nigel was terrified, and hurriedly followed, grabbing one side of the wheelchair.


    "I''ll send Mr. Ramsey to the car, Mrs. Ramsey."


    "Let me do it!"


    Natalie said firmly, "You pushed him when we came here, and I will push the wheelchair when you go


    back. That will be fair!"


    Nigel thought, "Is this a game? why we need to be fair?"


    Natalie continued, "Nigel, I''m Kendrick''s wife, and I should take on my own responsibility to take care of


    him. I have troubled you when I was not around, but you can leave it to me when I am here now!"


    Nigel didn''t know what to say.


    What''s wrong with her?


    She''s unusual today!


    Kendrick stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "Can I go?"


    "Let''s go now." Natalie pursed her lips, feeling instantly happy.


    Natalie pushed Kendrick''s wheelchair, walking cautiously.


    Nigel was trembling at the side, but seeing that Natalie didn''t seem to have any bad intentions, she felt


    rxed.


    "I''ll ask the driver to pick you upter." Kendrick said, "You can just call him at any time."


    "Okay." Natalie responded obediently, "I will also be obedient here, and I''ll go back after dinner."


    "Ok!"


    --


    Seeing the car leave, Natalie returned to the banquet.


    The buffet had already started. Natalie took a deep breath, and then she smelled the aroma of


    barbecue. She felt hungry immediately.


    "Sir, can I eat the steak now?"


    "You still have to wait for another ten minutes."


    The cook was specially invited by Quinn''s mansion from a three-star Michelin restaurant. He didn''t


    know Natalie, but seeing that she was a beautifuldy, he said attentively, "The best one is for you."


    It is a piece of beef tenderloin, which is tender and juicy.


    "Thank you, sir. Help me cut it thinner!"


    "Okay!"


    Ten minutester, Natalie sessfully got the steak. She looked around and found exactly where the


    sashimi was.


    It could be seen that the Quinn''s mansion had spent a lot for this banquet. The ingredients were all of


    the high quality. The guests had note, but she wanted to eat first. After all, Kendrick had given her


    father a valuable gift. Judging from Reuben''s expression, that gift must be very expensive.


    Natalie took some fruit and sashimi, and the temperature of the steak was just suitable to eat, so she


    forked a piece into her mouth. But before she could taste it, someone pped her on the back.


    The fork cut her lips, bringing out some blood.


    The te in Natalie''s hand fell out, and the piece of tender and excellent steak, which had cooked for


    ten minutes and was specially prepared for her by the cook, fell on the ground, stained with ashes.


    "Oh, I''m wondering who is stealing food here. It''s you, Natalie. Doesn''t the Ramsey''s mansion provide


    you with food? Is that the reason why you want toe to my home to beg?"


    A sarcastic female voice sounded from behind.


    Natalie picked up the tissue to wipe her lips, turned around, and slightly narrowed her eyes.


    The one who stood in front of her was Hanna Quinn, the youngest daughter of the Quinn''s mansion.


    Hanna was just eighteen years old. She was a freshman who was arrogant and savage. She couldn''t


    control her mouth and loved carbohydrates and sweets, so she was overweight. She had e scars


    on all over her face and even the expensive foundation couldn''t cover them. She was a girl of no charm


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    at all, thus the luxurious dress she wore was a total waste.


    Natalie looked casually at the bloodstains on the paper towel and then turned her gaze to the steak that


    fell on the ground. She felt bad for the well-cooked steak, but her voice was still calm, "Pick it up!"


    "What... what did you say?"


    "I asked you to pick it up, didn''t you hear that?" Natalie raised her voice.


    Hanna had hated and envied Natalie since she was a child, and she had once hurt Natalie''s face with


    scissors. She often bullies Natalie and felt happy if she could make her dare not resist.


    "How dare you yell at me?" Hanna''s eyes widened and she looked angry. She habitually stepped


    forward to p Natalie.


    But before she could touch Natalie''s hand, there was a sharp pain in her own arm.


    Natalie took the fork and stuck it into Hanna''s round and thick arm that was raised.


    "Ah..." Hanna screamed and her voice was shrill. She looked at the woman in front of her, and she


    couldn''t believe that this was the illegitimate bastard who was weak and timid and was always bullied


    by her before.


    Hanna rushed towards Natalie crazily, howling, "You dare to stab me! I will sh your face to pieces


    today. Little bit*h, you are as nasty as your mother."


    Natalie listened to Hanna''s dirty words and furrowed her brows. She was light and had also learned


    some self-defence techniques, so she stepped aside.


    Hanna touched nothing.


    This was the beginning of her bad luck.


    Natalie grabbed her hair, and there was a cold expression on her face. She said, "How long haven''t


    you brushed your teeth? Your mouth is so dirty."


    Hanna wailed in pain as Natalie exerted force on her hand.


    "Originally, I just want to eat something and left. Why do you provoke me? I waited for it for more than


    ten minutes, but the steak was dirty before I ate it. Didn''t your mother teach you to cherish food?"


    Natalie pulled Hanna''s hair and walked out.


    There was a swimming pool. The memories of being immersed in the pool and beingughed at by


    girls in the Quinn''s mansion shed through Natalie''s mind.


    Natalie took a breath. Since Kendrick wasn''t there, she didn''t care about other things.


    There was a "plop" sound, which was the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.


    Hanna''s hair was pulled and she was thrown into the swimming pool.

 Chapter 7 Threw Her Sister into the Swimming Pool

    Chapter 7 Threw Her Sister into the Swimming Pool


    Chapter 7 Threw Her Sister into the Swimming Pool


    During her medical doctorate, Natalie was told of the glorious deeds of an elder martial sister, who


    stabbed her unfaithful boyfriend 20 times. Blood could be seen each time, but the knife avoided the


    vital points of the body. Finally, her boyfriend was diagnosed as slightly injured and the elder martial


    sister was innocent.


    If it was not because of her image in Kendrick''s heart, she could also give the same knife to Hanna.


    "Help! Dad... Mom... help me!"


    Hanna struggled in the water, desperately shouting for help.


    Natalie stood not far away and said, "You can''t drown in shallow water. Save your strength and climb


    up!"


    Natalie agreed to stay because she had inherited the body of the original owner, so she should know


    some people that the owner was familiar with, so as not to be exposed. After all, there was a deviation


    between memory and reality.


    In addition, tonight Natalie would announce an important decision.


    Natalie didn''t want to cause trouble or make others embarrassed. She just wanted to give her time and


    energy to Kendrick.


    She didn''t care about other people. If they didn''t bully her, she wouldn''t give anyone a lesson.


    But Hanna had provoked her, so she must give Hanna a lesson.


    Hanna climbed up from the pool like a drowning dog. She spat out water and cried loudly.


    Natalie licked the wound on her lips with the tip of her tongue, sneered, returned to the table, picked up


    a sushi and stuffed it into her mouth.


    When Natalie was still enjoying the food, she saw Noraing towards her with several people.


    Hanna lost the game and went to the rescue.


    Natalie thought, "How can I enjoy the food?"


    Nora rushed over angrily and said the same words to her, "Natalie, you dare to push Hanna into the


    swimming pool. This is your father''s birthday party. Do you want to make trouble to lose his face?


    Come and kneel down to apologize to Hanna."


    Two bodyguards behind Natalie immediately came to drag her.


    "Do you dare to touch me?" Natalie raised her eyebrows and said bravely, "I''m Kendrick''s wife. If I were


    hurt, he would cut your hands."


    "What? Do you think that I will be afraid of Kendrick?" Nora said with disdain and sarcasm, "He is just a


    disabled and abandoned son of the family. No matter how powerful he is, what can he do? He has to


    obedientlye to your father''s birthday party to congratte him. Do you think that you have found a


    good backer? How dare you bully in the Quinn''s mansion? I must teach you a lesson today."


    ine Quinn, the second daughter of the Quinn''s mansion, said, "Natalie, you are a fool with a bad


    brain. I want to remind you that you are marrying Kendrick, a waste who can''t even stand up, not Brett!


    What are you arrogant about in front of us?"


    Brett was Kendrick''s second brother, the most prominent person in Ramsey''s mansion, and he was


    also the famous bad-tempered man named"Death". No one dared to offend him.


    "Even if Kendrick can''t stand up, he is much stronger than you, who just use your parents'' money!"


    Natalie was angry. People could scold her, but they couldn''t insult Kendrick.


    "Take her to the attic!"


    Seeing more and more peopleing, Nora was so angry that she stamped her feet and ordered


    directly.


    --


    The ck car was driving in the night.


    Kendrick called the driver and told him to wait at the Quinn''s mansion''s door in advance.


    After hanging up, he pressed his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the project card in West Goldburg?


    Why is there no progress?"


    Nigel immediately reported, "The partner suddenly changed his mind and hoped that... he could meet


    with Mr. Seth."


    "Really?" Kendrick smiled, and then the smile slowly became cold, "Does he know the result of losing


    faith?"


    The temperature of the air conditioner in the car was a little low, and Nigel felt cold on his back.


    "He can either talk to me or breach the contract. There is no third way."


    "I will convey your words."


    Nigel drove steadily. He was hesitant, but finally, he couldn''t help saying, "Mr. Ramsey, you are really


    generous. You are willing to give the authentic work of Mr. ke."


    "It is false." Kendrick said in a t voice, "Learning that I was interested in the painting, Mr. ke''s


    grandson had given me one and told me that 90% of the authentic works in cirction on the market


    were actually drawn by him. His grandfather''s preserved authentic works are very few, and half of them


    are in the art gallery."


    Nigel said, "There is no difference in the painting''s reality because it is sent by you."


    Even if it was false, no one dared to say half a word more.


    Kendrick enjoyed a powerful position. Even if he said some false words, he would also be agreed by a


    group of people.


    After listening to the words said by Nigel, Kendrick just chuckled and didn''t answer anything.


    The phone rang.


    Nigel put on a Bluetooth headset and answered the phone.


    After hanging up, he said, "Mrs. Ramsey argued with her family in the Quinn''s mansion."


    Kendrick''s face was expressionless. This kind of thing had happened many times.


    Kendrick lowered his eyes, straightened the vintage cufflinks on his sleeve, and said nonchntly,


    "One needs to be independent to grow up. We can help her for a while, but we can''t help her for a


    lifetime."


    Kendrick once secretly helped his wife out of his responsibility. But some people were born without a


    spine, and they could only stand up when supported. Once there wasn''t an assistant, she would


    immediately kneel down.


    Over the years, Kendrick had been left out in the Ramsey''s mansion. Thanks to his own effort, he could


    be powerful in his family and make people treat him fairly again.


    So one could only save himself by his own effort in the world.


    "No", Nigel didn''t seem to calm down and his tone was a little surprised, "Mrs. Ramsey, threw her sister


    into the swimming pool and pped her second sister. Now the Quinn''s mansion is in a mess."


    --


    In the attic of the Quinn''s mansion.


    "Let her kneel down!"


    Nora was so angry that she was trembling. She wanted to tear Natalie up.


    During the dispute just now, ine was pped by Natalie because of her bad words. She was still


    surprised and even forgot to fight back.


    At that moment, ine covered her face and shouted, "Hold her down! I want to p her."


    The bodyguard pressed Natalie and forced her to kneel down.


    Natalie refused. Then she was kicked from behind and fell to the ground.


    ine rushed to the front and wanted to p Natalie.


    At that moment, Natalie touched the hairpin on her head and was ready to fight back.


    If ine dared to beat her, she would stab again.


    "Don''t hit her in the face."


    Nora stopped, "Today is your father''s birthday. If we beat her in the face, others may think that we have


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    abused her."


    "Mom is right, but we need to give her a lesson today. She really thinks that she is powerful when


    getting married to the Ramsey''s mansion. How dare she behave atrociously in our family?"


    ine came forward and saw at a nce that the red dress on Natalie''s body was the exclusive style


    of this summer, which could not be bought with money.


    What''s more, Natalie''s dress was exquisite today. From makeup to details, things on her were all of


    inexplicably high quality, which were much more luxurious than before. Was she richer or did she


    change her stylist?


    It seemed that the little b*tch married well and lived a happy life.


    ine clenched her back teeth, and her face was resentful and unwilling.


    "ine, the guests are almost here at seven o''clock. I will treat them and leave here for you." Nora


    looked at the time and was ready to leave. She continued, "Pay attention. Don''t be the same as before.


    Don''t leave any marks in the conspicuous ces."


    "Well, I know. I''ll teach her a lesson for Hanna."


    "Who are you going to teach?"


    It was not Nora who responded to her, but a cold voice of a maning from the door.

 Chapter 8 Cut Off Relationship With the Family

    Chapter 8 Cut Off Rtionship With the Family


    Chapter 8 Cut Off Rtionship With the Family


    It was Kendrick.


    He slowly entered the room in his wheelchair, followed by Reuben, who was disappointed with a


    disheartened expression on his face.


    "What are you doing? There must be a limit to the jokes between sisters. Help her up! The dinner party


    is about to begin."


    Obviously, Reuben wanted to make big troubles into small things.


    Natalie was about to get up from the ground, but in a sh, she changed her mind.


    Poor, weak, helpless.


    Nora stood up and said with the attitude of a housewife, "Nat has a hot temper, and she can''t listen to


    the truth. Hanna and ine just make a few unintentional remarks, but she turns angry, throws Hanna


    into the swimming pool and gives ine a p. They are all sisters, and there is no need to do these


    things. I also want to know if there is a conflict, and see how to find a good solution."


    "So, why do you make her kneel down?"


    Kendrick raised his eyes and looked at Nora coldly.


    Nora was at a loss. She never expected that this time Kendrick woulde back to help this damn girl.


    Were things serious this time?


    After Natalie got married, they restrained themselves. Besides, she wouldn''t go home unless there


    were major festivals.


    Today, no one expected that the once coward Natalie would fight back.


    Things got a little out of control.


    "She fell down by herself." Nora didn''t change her expression, raised her face and said suddenly,


    "Besides, it was she that first attacked my daughter. ording to the family rules, there is nothing


    wrong with asking her to kneel down. Even if she gets married, she still belongs to the Quinn''s


    mansion, and she has to obey the rules."


    Natalie apuded Nora''s courage in her heart.


    "Rules?" Kendrick repeated the word, then his eyes fell on Natalie who was lying on the ground and


    seemed unable to stand up.


    He stretched out his hands to straighten his neckline, with a hint of impatience on his face, he slowly


    raised his face, and his voice seemed to be wrapped in broken ice, "Natalie is a member of the Quinn''s


    mansion, but she also married me, so she is legitimate Mrs. Ramsey. You have bullied my wife, how


    can I..." Kendrick looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Reuben''s face, "Respect the rules?"


    Orion, who provoked him before, had gone to jail.


    Reuben said vaguely again, "It''s normal for sisters to have conflicts. We''re all in the same family, and


    we may make peopleugh when we quarrel. How about asking ine to apologize to Nat?"


    "Dad, I won''t apologize! Besides, she pped me and I haven''t paid it back. It was Mom who made her


    kneel down, so the one who should apologize is Mom." As soon as ine finished speaking, Reuben


    and Nora red at her angrily.


    Nataliey on the ground and thought, "What a filial daughter!"


    The atmosphere was deadlocked.


    Kendrick tilted his body slightly. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line and his hands were folded,


    and the knuckles of his index finger and the other hand were lightly sped.


    He didn''t make a sound, which gave Reuben invisible and huge pressure.


    Reuben had no choice but to rush over and carefully lift Natalie up from the ground and said, "Nat, tell


    me, what do you want to do?"


    Reuben wanted to solve this thing as soon as possible. He didn''t want to lose face anymore. Besides,


    he couldn''t make Kendrick angry as there was still a project that required him to nod.


    Natalie thought, " Finally someone noticed me."


    She patted the ashes on her body and said, "I''m a little dizzy, drag that chair over for me to sit on."


    Reuben was speechless.


    But he still dragged the chair over and ced it beside Kendrick.


    Natalie sat down, turned her face and nced at Kendrick. Her eyes were foggy and her face was a bit


    embarrassed, and she looked aggrieved.


    Kendrick didn''t even look at her!


    Natalie was angry!


    Natalie cleared her throat and said, "I don''t care about Hanna and ine. Nora asked me to kneel


    down, and those two bodyguards even kicked me. My knee and calf are injured. Reuben asks me what


    to do, and I think that Nora needs to kneel down and apologize to me. You need to fire the two


    bodyguards and pay me a sum of medical expenses. That''s all, how about it?"


    "Natalie, Nora is your elder rtive. There is no reason for her to kneel down, do you know?"This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "No!" Natalie replied, "After today, there will be no elders or juniors. Since everyone is here, I might as


    well tell you that, it may be a bit unfilial to say this on your fiftieth birthday, but if I don''t say it now, there


    won''t have a suitable chance in the future. I stay here today because I want to sever ties with the


    Quinn''s mansion."


    As soon as the words fell, the surroundings were silent.


    Even Kendrick was stunned.


    However, Natalie had a firm expression on her face.


    Indecisiveness would lead to disaster.


    This was what she had learned since she was a student.


    "Of course, I''m not here to ask for your opinion. I''m here to inform you." Natalie smiled, "I will draw up a


    statement to renounce the right of inheritance, and naturally you will also waive the right of


    maintenance. Legally, we will not have any kinship."


    It took Nora a long time to regain her senses.


    "What did this dead girl say?"


    "Cut off the rtionship?"


    "How dare she do it?"


    "Natalie, your father has raised you for more than ten years. How dare you cut off your rtionship? Do


    you have a conscience? You are quit love with hate."


    The so-called upbringing in the past ten years was nothing more than providing a meal and a bed. All


    her clothes were left by the sisters, and they didn''t let her study. They thought that the tuition fees of


    universities were high and forced her to drop out of school.


    "Don''t tell me this kind of strong subjective assumption. I will let thewyere and talk to


    you."Natalie was immune to Nora''s words and continued, "Will you kneel down and apologize to me?"


    Nora didn''t know what to say.


    When Natalie spoke, her thinking was clear and logical, and others couldn''t find any loopholes.


    Was she Natalie?


    Kendrick''s eyes also fell on Natalie.


    Natalie felt it and pursed her lips to smile at him. It was a smile that was hard to describe.


    "If you don''t want to apologize, then pay more. I''m not fussy." Natalie stood up from the chair, with her


    eyes wandering. She said, "Everyone, do you still have any questions?"


    At this moment, she was like a queen.


    "No?" Natalie pped her hands, "Okay. You can just wait for the bill and statement!" She put her


    hands on Kendrick''s wheelchair, and her voice became tender, "Honey, let''s go!"


    --


    Inside the car.


    Natalie burst into tears.


    "I didn''t want to make things serious today, but they bullied me." Natalie choked with sobs and bit her


    lip, then she leaned in front of Kendrick, "Look, it''s broken here."


    Kendrick said quietly, "Then go to the hospital quickly, or you will heal."


    Natalie, "..."


    "It really hurt at that time." Natalie sighed, "I was eating happily. Suddenly Hanna ran over and pushed


    me, and the fork almost stuck in my throat."She gestured to her throat, "It''s very dangerous, you know,


    that steak was dropped to the floor by her, and I didn''t even eat a bite."


    When speaking of it, she was still a little angry.


    "So, do you drag Hanna''s hair and threw her into the swimming pool?" Kendrick said, and it was


    difficult to tell the emotion in his tone.


    "I didn''t control my hands." Natalie said angrily, "She wasted food! That was not allowed!"


    "What''s the reason for pping your second sister?"


    Kendrick became interested.


    "She said some bad words about you." Natalie said, "Bad words. I won''t repeat it."


    Kendrick understood.


    He had grown up in these sarcastic remarks all these years, and he has already been immune to them.


    "I beat her to defend you, not because I was grumpy and unreasonable." Natalie leaned closer to


    Kendrick''s shoulder, and said carefully, "You won''t me me, will you?"

 Chapter 9 Is This Indirect Kissing

    Chapter 9 Is This Indirect Kissing


    Chapter 9 Is This Indirect Kissing?


    Kendrick turned his face and stared at Natalie.


    Under the dark night, Kendrick could only see the contours of Natalie¡¯s small and delicate face. Her


    eyes were shimmering with tears.


    To defend him?


    That was why she fought?


    These actions were all something that Natalie would never do before. However, she was doing them


    now.


    Kendrick was also surprised by Natalie''s words in the Quinn mansion¡¯s loft to break off her rtionship


    with the family.


    Kendrick thought, "Perhaps, I never really knew her before?"


    "Or... Her previous weak and stupid appearance was all an act?" Kendrick was in his thoughts.


    Natalie blinked her eyes and looked at Kendrick sincerely.


    What she spoke was all from her heart. She wasn''t deceiving him.


    "No, I should thank you for defending me."


    Even though Kendrick was saying words of thanks, his expression remained cold.


    Natalie chuckled, "I should also thank you for going back to stand up for me. Otherwise, I¡¯d definitely be


    bullied by them."


    After knowing Natalie was making a big fuss at Quinn''s mansion, Kendrick pushed off an uing


    international conference and turned his way back to help her.


    Natalie¡¯s resistance had surprised Kendrick.


    "Since you¡¯ve married me, I''ll definitely fulfill my responsibility."


    Responsibility......


    Was it just out of responsibility?


    "You broke off your rtions with the Quinn family. Won''t you regret it?" After a long silence, Kendrick


    asked.


    "No," Natalie said firmly, "I''ve thought for a day, no, many days. Today happens to be a good


    opportunity. I don¡¯t want to be controlled by them anymore. I want to be myself."


    Kendrick pursed his lips and was in his thoughts.


    "Oh, I remembered something. Dear, can I ask you a question?"


    "Yes."


    "How did you know what happened to me in the Quinn family in such detail and managed toe


    timely?" Natalie paused and continued, "You have someone in the Quinn family, right?"


    Natalie believed that Kendrick must''ve arranged a spy in the Quinn family.


    In the original book, there was a slight description saying that the Quinn family was punishedter by


    Kendrick and went bankrupt overnight.


    As soon as Natalie finished her words, Kendrick¡¯s gaze turned piercing.


    The atmosphere instantly turned tense.


    "You can trust mepletely," Natalie looked at him with sincere eyes, "No matter what happens, I¡¯ll be


    by your side and face everything with you. I''ll never betray you. You¡¯ve also said this before, I¡¯m


    yours."


    Kendrick returned calm and said lightly, "Knowing too much would do you no good."


    Kendrick had a cautious personality. He couldn¡¯t yet open up fully to Natalie at this moment.


    Natalie didn''t speak. Later, she asked, "I''m a little tired. Can I sleep on your shoulder for a while?"


    "..."


    Without waiting for Kendrick¡¯s reaction, Natalie rested her head on his shoulder.


    Kendrick looked sideways slightly. In the night, Natalie¡¯s curled eyshes cast a shadow on her face.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Her breathing was shallow as if she was really sleeping.


    A wisp of bangsnded on the tip of Natalie''s nose.


    Kendrick raised his hand and gently tucked the bangs behind her ears.


    Kendrick stared at Natalie''s fair face and frowned slightly.


    What kinds of things had happened?


    For someone to suddenly turned smart.


    ...


    At night, Natalie was exhausted after taking a bath.


    Sheid down on the bed and fell asleep without even blowing her hair dry.


    It was two o¡¯clock in the morning when she woke up. Her stomach was growling.


    She was too focused on fighting during her time in the Quinn''s mansion and didn¡¯t have the chance to


    eat.


    Natalie caressed her stomach, got up from bed, and went downstairs. She went to the kitchen to find


    something to eat.


    As she arrived downstairs, she noticed the light in the kitchen area was still on. She scratched her hair


    and saw Kendrick in front of the refrigerator.


    He seemed to want to get something out of the fridge but wasn¡¯t able to do so even after a couple of


    tries.


    "What are you going to take? I''ll help you!"


    Natalie immediately ran over and said, "Is it water? I''ll take it for you."


    Natalie took a bottle of water from the topyer of the refrigerator. Then, she bent down slightly until


    reaching Kendrick''s eye level, opened the lid, and handed the bottle to him.


    Natalie didn''t wear a bra after taking a shower and changing into her pajamas. So, when she bent


    down, all the underlying scenery was exposed to Kendrick.


    Kendrick took the water and looked sideways slightly. After some thought, he turned back and raised


    his eyes. His expression was dark, "Have you always been so casual in front of men?"


    Natalie was confused, "Huh?"


    Soon, Natalie noticed Kendrick''s gaze. She immediately stood straight, and her face was hot red.


    Natalie replied, "No."


    The atmosphere was awkward, and she didn''t know how to exin herself. So, Natalie decided to


    change the topic, "Are there any instant noodles or frozen dumplings? I''m a little hungry."


    "They¡¯re in the fridge."


    "Oh, okay," Natalie nodded and asked again, "Are you hungry? You don''t seem to have eaten anything


    at night. How about I cook you some noodles?"


    Although Natalie wasn''t skilled in cooking, her noodle cooking skills were top-notch.


    "No need!"


    Kendrick rejected.


    Kendrick didn''t like to trouble others. For example, he rather came down to get iced water by himself at


    night instead of disturbing Baron.


    "Grr..." However, as soon as he said this, his stomach growled.


    Natalie pursed her lips to hold back her smile. She said, "Let''s eat together. The noodles I cook are


    really delicious!"


    Kendrick raised his face and gestured, "The instant noodles are in that cab."


    "Well, well, he ended up agreeing," Natalie thought. She tried to hide the joy she felt and ran to take out


    two packets of instant noodles. She boiled water to cook the noodles, added some vegetables, and


    even simmered some eggs.


    Ten minutester, Natalie turned off the stove as everything waspleted. She divided the noodles


    into two bowls and brought them to the table. The noodles were hot. She put the bowls down hurriedly


    and pinched her earlobes to cool down her fingers.


    She looked like a lively little rabbit.


    Natalie handed the cutleries to Kendrick and said, "Be careful with the heat!"


    As Natalie saw Kendrick take a bite of the noodles, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? It''s delicious,


    right?"


    Actually, one couldn''t do much to cook instant noodles.


    However, Kendrick still nodded.


    "I knew it. My noodle cooking skills are superb," Natalie praised herself and sucked a mouthful of


    noodles but identally burned herself. She stuck out her tongue and fanned her tongue with her


    hands, "Ouch! Ouch!"


    Then, Natalie saw the iced bottled water on the table. She grabbed the bottle and poured the water into


    her mouth. After drinking half of the bottle, she realized something wasn''t quite right. She turned to look


    at Kendrick with her eyes widen, "I identally drank your water."


    "It''s alright," Kendrick said calmly, "It''s alright if you don''t mind."


    "I don''t," Natalie smiled sweetly, "You''re my husband. How would I mind it?"


    Kendrick couldn''t answer her.


    Natalie put down the water and thought that this was what Kendrick had just drunk. Then, was this...


    indirect kissing?


    Natalie was a little shy.


    She told herself to stop thinking about it and eat noodles.


    Not only did Natalie finish the noodles, but she also drank all of the soup. If Kendrick wasn''t here, she


    could caress her stomach and burp.


    "Are you done? I''ll take you upstairs first. I''lle down and clean upter," Natalie stood up and said.


    "Leave them here to Ashlynn and the others."


    "Oh, right," Natalie thought. She was now Mrs. Ramsey, a nobledy who was served by the others.


    She wasn''t the Natalie who was so busy in theboratory and the operating room that could only afford


    to eat instant noodles to feed herself.


    Actually, Natalie really hated to wash the dishes. If it weren''t for the pressure of life, who would want to


    wash dishes after eating?


    The vi had four floors in total plus the basement. There was an indoor elevator. Natalie pushed


    Kendrick''s wheelchair into the elevator and pressed the second floor.


    Kendrick''s bedroom was on the side.


    Natalie pushed open the door to send him in. She couldn''t help but be amazed when she entered


    Kendrick''s room. She thought that this was indeed a single man''s room. The colors were all ck,


    white, or gray. The decorations were simple but exquisite. It was a ce with low-key luxury.


    It was embarrassing for Natalie to admit, but she was single for many years. It was the first time she


    had entered a man''s room.


    "I''ll help you to bed?" Natalie turned her face and asked Kendrick.

 Chapter 10 Her Hand Pressed at the Spot Between His Thigs

    Chapter 10 Her Hand Pressed at the Spot Between His Thigs


    Chapter 10 Her Hand Pressed at the Spot Between His Thigs


    Before Kendrick could speak, Natalie continued, "Don''t always reject me. It''ll make me look bad."


    Since the day Natalie opened her eyes to this world, Kendrick had rejected her countless times.


    Natalie realized that she had to be persistent for Kendrick to agree to her requests.


    Natalie had no love experience. However, non of her seniors from theb would refuse her.


    As Natalie finished speaking, she pushed the wheelchair toward the bed and said, "I''m married to you


    as your wife, and I must also fulfill my duty. You don''t have to be courteous with me anymore and can


    just ask for my help if required. Now, how can I help you?"


    "Hold my arm."


    "Oh, okay."


    Kendrick pressed his hands on the bed and used strength to move himself from the wheelchair to the


    bed.


    Although Kendrick''s lower limbs were paralyzed and weak, he was still strong in general.


    As the dim indoor light falls on Kendrick, the lustrous dark blue silk pajama that Kendrick wore was


    shining. His bangsy on his forehead, and he was really handsome. His sharp and cold aura was


    weakened as hey on the bed, making him seem more gentle and casual. He looked like a stunning


    god who just came out of aic.


    Natalie was stunned by the view in front of her.


    Until, Kendrick noticed her gaze and raised his eyes.


    Natalie came back to her senses and hurriedly let go of her hands. She took a step back but


    identally tripped onto Kendrick''s wheelchair. Her body was unstable, and she fell forward. She tried


    to support herself, but her hands ended up pressing... the spot between his thighs!


    Almost touching a sensitive area.


    Sometimes, some coincidences always seemed like a long-nned n.


    Natalie was embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand when she wasn''t yet standing straight. As


    a result, she lost her bnce. So, she had no choice but to support herself by pressing Kendrick''s thigh


    to stand up.


    Kendrick fixed his ck eyes on Natalie. His gaze was extremely probing.


    Kendrick thought to himself, "She may seem intelligent and bossy, but sometimes she can be quite


    innocent."


    Kendrick thought Natalie was using advanced means to tease him although being inexperienced.


    Kendrick couldn''t understand Natalie''s sudden change of attitude towards him.


    Natalie blushed at Kendrick''s stare. This time, she really didn''t mean it.


    It was an unintentional move.


    Fortunately, she didn''t hit the key part.


    Otherwise, it would be a deadly awkward situation.


    "Good night. I''m going to sleep."


    Natalie was awkward. So, she hurriedly said goodnight and ran away.


    Kendricky down on the bed. A whileter, he sat up again and took the book on his bedside, New


    Advances in Human Behavior Research.


    ...


    Natalie went back to her room and threw herself on the bed.


    She covered her face with her hands as she recalled what had happened.


    Without any actual experience and facing a cold man like Kendrick, it seemed that non of her tactics


    were working.


    Natalie buried herself under the covers.


    Her mind was messy.


    Natalie couldn''t remember clearly the main plot of the original story. Moreover, the story timeline would


    only start two yearster.


    There were very few subplot descriptions of Kendrick.


    However, when Kendrick first appeared in the story, he was already an important role that couldn''t be


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    underestimated. He never bothered to show respect to the male protagonist.


    ording to the book''s description, Kendrick should be permanently disabled and need to rely on a


    wheelchair to move.


    Natalie was in a mncholy mood.


    She suddenly missed her teacher, Easton.


    "Is that bad-tempered old man in good health?" Natalie thought to herself. Easton was previously


    diagnosed with stomach disease due to his busy schedule traveling around for surgeries. No one could


    remind him to eat well anymore since Natalie was no longer there with him.


    And also Violet.


    "Has Violet returned from her trip?" Natalie wondered.


    Violet was Easton''s biological daughter, but she had no interest in studying medicine. She liked to


    travel and would often travel around the world and disappear for a while. However, whenever she


    returned, she would always mysteriously say that she was on a mission.


    Natalie was an orphan adopted by the Wright family when she was a child. Both Easton and Violet


    treated her well. Especially, Violet would share all the good things with Natalie.


    Compared to the sisters from the Quinn family, Violet was like an angel.


    Natalie fell into a deep sleep as she recalled the memories of her past life.


    ...


    Kendrick got up very early. He had already washed up with the help of Baron at six o''clock.


    Baron had taken care of Kendrick for nearly twenty years since the unexpected death of his parents.


    "Mr. Ramsey, you didn''t sleep wellst night?" Baron''s eyes were sharp. He could see at a nce that


    Kendrick wasn''t in good condition this morning, "Do you want to rest for a while longer?"


    Kendrick read books until three o''clockst night and slept for only three hours.


    But he had to wake up at six.


    Otherwise, it would affect his work schedule.


    "He slept till the sun rose high, for the blessed night was short. From then on, the monarch held no


    longer morning courts."


    It was one of Kendrick''s most despised poems.


    Kendrick had a strong sense of time, and nothing could ruin his n.


    "No, it''ll dy the schedule."


    "Okay!"


    Kendrick would have his breakfast at quarter past six. He would usually eat milk, eggs, whole wheat


    bread, and some high-quality coarse grains to ensure an urate intake of carb-to-protein ratio.


    After eating, Baron would take Kendrick outside the vi for a stroll. Then, he would go to the gym room


    in the basement to exercise.


    After that, Kendrick would process documents, hold a video conference at ten o''clock to listen to the


    reports from various departments, check project progressions, and find solutions to solve problems in


    time.


    His life had been like this for so many years.


    Especially in the past two years, the projects handed over to Kendrick were allpleted brilliantly. He


    was the most outstanding business talent among his generation in the Ramsey family. Seth valued


    Kendrick much.


    As Kendrick returned from exercising, Natalie got up.


    The two met in the dining room.


    Natalie smiled and greeted Baron first, "Good morning, Baron!"


    "Good morning, Mrs. Ramsey."


    Natalie turned her face to Kendrick again. Her smiling face was like a flower stained with dew in the


    morning. It was beautiful and lively.


    "Good morning, Kendrick!"


    "Good morning!"


    "Are you going to the office today?"


    "I''ll go in the afternoon."


    "Actually, I have a favor to ask you," Natalie took a deep breath and was a little embarrassed, "Well, the


    main thing is, I''m not very familiar with this."


    "Is it urgent?"


    "Not really."


    Kendrick''s gaze fell onto the dining table and said, "You eat breakfast first. Come to my study room


    To speak the truth, Kendrick could be intimidating whenever he speaks. Even though he was


    restraining himself, one could still feel the domineering aura deep inside of him.


    "Okay."


    Ashlynn brought Natalie some milk and whole-wheat bread. As Natalie was spreading jam on the


    bread, she grabbed Ashlynn''s hand and asked in a low voice, "What time did Kendrick wake up


    today?"


    "Mr. Ramsey usually starts his day around six o''clock. He''s very punctual," Ashlynn replied, "He has a


    busy schedule that was urate to the seconds."


    Natalie was in her thoughts.


    After drinking the milk and eating a slice of bread, Natalie went upstairs to the study room as she didn''t


    want to interfere with Kendrick''s schedule. She wanted to settle everything quickly.


    Seeing that the door wasn''t closed firmly, Natalie pushed the door open and saw Kendrick talking on


    the phone.


    "Okay, please inform grandfather that I''ll go back with her."


    Kendrick hung up the phone and said, "This weekend, you need to go to the Ramsey''s mansion with


    me."


    Natalie walked in, closed the door, and asked, "Is it about the family banquet?"


    "Yes."


    "Okay, I''ll prepare in advance."


    Kendrick raised his eyes, "Say it, your business."


    "I need the help of an experiencedwyer in civil litigation, especially in the area of parental and child


    obligations," Natalie frowned, "I want to solve it as soon as possible to prevent any future incidents."


    Especially in the future, Kendrick would punish the Quinn family.


    Natalie was worried that the Quinn family would use her to hold Kendrick back.

 Chapter 11 When Will You Come Back

    Chapter 11 When Will You Come Back


    Chapter 11 When Will You Come Back?


    Natalie acted decisively.


    Last night, she said she wanted to break off the rtionship with her family, and today, she was about


    to talk to awyer about this matter.


    Kendrick took out a business card from the cab in front of the desk with his slender fingers, pushed


    it to the edge of the desk, and said, "I will tell Matthew Cline, mywyer, about this in advance. Just


    consult him if you want any help."


    Natalie took the business card over with both hands and nodded. "OK, thank you."


    She turned to leave but was suddenly stopped by him.


    A ck credit card was handed to her, and Kendrick tapped on it with his forefinger. "Take it."


    Natalie was stunned.


    She didn''t expect that Kendrick would still be willing to give her money.


    After all, the original host of this body never went to work and kept using Kendrick''s money. She even


    took the money from his card and gave it to Orion. In the end, his ount was frozen by the bank for


    illegally embezzling assets.


    Natalie looked at him in confusion.


    "You need money!"


    Kendrick''s exnation was simple and clear, but it struck her straight to the heart.


    She thought, "Indeed, the ount bnce on the original host''s bank card is shabby, and aftering


    to this world, I haven''t found any way to apply my medical skills. As a result, I really need money."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Instead of being polite, Natalie directly epted Kendrick''s bank card.


    She grasped the edge of the card tightly, stood there, and thought for a while. Then she took the


    opportunity to say, "I can''t take your money for nothing. I will do something to repay you."


    "Ashlynn and other maids do the household, Baron takes care of my daily life, and my driver as well as


    my security guards are avable to me anytime," said Kendrick in a calm tone as he looked down at


    the document in front of him.


    Meanwhile, he thought, "Therefore, there is really nothing for her to do.


    Besides, she married me to be Mrs. Ramsey, not to be a maid.


    It''s true that I''m not easy to get along with in business, but I will never mistreat my wife at home."


    "No," Natalie exined, "I have unique skills."


    She suddenly squatted down, looked up at him, and said solemnly, "I know how to massage and a little


    about acupuncture. These are what I have learned recently. Just like this!" She put her hands on his


    leg, massaged it, and continued, "This can promote blood cirction."


    Kendrick''s gaze behind the frameless lens changed a bit.


    Natalie massaged upward and said, "I can also take care of you and massage you every day."


    Kendrick''s legs were unconscious, but that did not mean he could not feel anything.


    Kendrick drew a breath and grasped her slender wrist. "That''s enough!"


    He said casually, "These things are tedious and have little effect."


    He was sure that as time went on, Natalie would lose her patience.


    Kendrick was not enthusiastic about this and had little confidence in it. He did not expect to get up


    again at all. His daily exercise was merely to keep his muscles from degenerating and to keep himself


    vigorous enough to devote himself to his work to aplish something.


    "Get out! I''m going to attend a meeting."


    Natalie didn''t insist anymore. She went out, and as she walked downstairs, she met Baron.


    "Baron!"


    Baron bowed respectfully. "Mrs. Ramsey, what can I do for you?"


    "I want to ask about Mr. Ramsey." Natalie pursed her lips and looked earnest. "Can you show me the


    doctor''s diagnosis and follow-up rehabilitation n?"


    Baron looked doubtful.


    Natalie felt tired and speechless.


    She couldn''t help but think, "Everyone here doesn''t believe that I care about Kendrick. They always


    show a strange and even defensive look in front of me.


    Even Kendrick is a little wary of me and doesn''t open his heart to mepletely.


    I really want to know what kind of a person the original host is."


    Natalie exined again, "I want to know more about him so that I can take better care of him in the


    future." She stared at Baron''s eyes, trying to convince him with her gaze, and continued, "I have


    married Kendrick for more than a year, and as his wife, I should take corresponding responsibilities. I


    have been confused and unreasonable in the past, but I will reform myself from now on. Please don''t


    worry. I will never be as unreasonable as before."


    Baron stared at her with a pair of eyes that had seen everything, and all he saw in her eyes were


    sincerity and determination.


    "Well, after all, she''s only a twenty-two-year-old girl," he thought.


    Baron did not embarrass her. He said, "Mr. Ramsey hatescheaters and flip-floppers. You must do what


    you promise."


    "I will!" Natalie affirmed.


    ...


    Kendrick''s father was Seth''s second son. He refused a business marriage and married an ordinary girl


    whom he really liked. They were a sweet couple.


    However, things changed when Kendrick was eight years old.


    The three of them were involved in a road ident.


    Both his father and mother died to save him.


    Kendrick survived, but his legs were leftparalyzed.


    Over the years, he had never given up on himself, even though he was in a desperate situation. All


    others'' sarcasm only made him stronger. He cherished his life because his parents tried their best to


    save it.


    He disdained people who neglected life.


    Therefore, after the original host of Natalie''s body mutted herself, Kendrick filed for divorce.


    The reason was that he felt that she was hopeless.


    "Mr. Ramsey has been receiving psychological counseling since his parents died. He has been


    physically and psychologically disabled, so he has had a hard time. Fortunately, he has a stronger will


    than others, so he has never given up. He has made great achievements in business in recent years."


    Baron handed a stack of documents to Natalie and continued, "Here is the diagnosis paper and follow-


    up rehabilitation n."


    "Thank you!"


    Natalie went through the documents and found them to be quite in ordance with her expectations.


    The crash caused nerve damage and paralysis of Kendrick''s lower limbs.


    However, the level of medical care in this world was not as advanced as in Natalie''s original world,


    making it impossible for her to help Kendrick resume walking.


    In her original world, the neurosurgery medical team, led by Easton, had done leading research in this


    field and had sessful cases.


    As she was reading the documents, Natalie suddenly felt a little distressed, especially after hearing


    Baron''s words.


    She even somewhat wanted to cry.


    Looking up from the documents, Natalie took a long breath and asked, "Can I know more about the


    details of his attending doctor?"


    "Walker Gill, the chief physician of the neurology department, is resident abroad and is currently in


    charge of the rehabilitation guidance."


    Walker once diagnosed that Kendrick''s legs would never recover to normal but could only achieve a


    basic recovery.


    "The psychiatrist wille tomorrow to provide mental health treatment for Mr. Ramsey."


    "Then I will make some preparations tomorrow and wait for the psychiatrist toe. I''ve been reading


    up on psychologytely. I hope it can also help Kendrick," said Natalie gently.


    Baron looked at her and didn''t know what to say.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Kendrick went to thepany for a meeting.


    Natalie stayed at home and bought a batch of professional medical books online. She then simply


    beforehand, Matthew was nice to Natalie and answered every question quickly.


    Soon, it was already seven o''clock in the evening.


    Natalie went downstairs and saw that dinner was ready. Then she asked, "Will Mr. Ramseye back


    tonight?"


    "Mr. Ramsey hasn''t told us about it."


    "Then I''ll call him!"


    At the same time, Kendrick was holding a strategic nning meeting in the group''s top conference


    room. Everyone at the table was hungry, but no one dared to show it. They could onlyin in their


    hearts, "Mr. Ramsey is a workaholic who never feels hungry or tired, but we are not."


    The giant screen projector was connected to Kendrick''s mobile phone. After finishing one slide, he


    raised his hand to signal the conference assistant to switch to the next slide.


    Suddenly, the screen darkened, and a phone call came in.


    The assistant subconsciously pressed the answer key.


    The phone got through.


    "Hello? Darling, when will youe back? I''m waiting for you to have dinner together!"


    The clear, attractive voice of a young woman came from the other end of the phone.


    It instantly resounded through the entire conference room.

 Chapter 12 Do You Need My Help

    Chapter 12 Do You Need My Help


    Chapter 12 Do You Need My Help?


    Everyone was stunned for a moment.


    They were startled by Natalie''s intimate tone.


    The people who had been very hungry and depressed all sat up straight, and their expressions varied.


    Some were shocked, some were puzzled, and some were curious.


    Anyway, they were not hungry anymore, for they were now eager to know how Kendrick would react.


    The person in charge of the meeting was so scared that he even wanted to throw the mobile phone


    out, but he did not dare. He braced himself to look up at Kendrick with trepidation, thinking that he


    might be fired tomorrow.


    Kendrick frowned slightly and reached out to signal the assistant to give him the mobile phone.


    "Hello, can you hear me?"


    Natalie asked again because there was no response on the phone.


    Kendrick took the phone, nced at the faces of the group executives sitting at the table, who failed to


    manage their expressions well, and said slowly, "OK. The meeting has just ended. Wait a moment."


    "That''s a long meeting. It must have been a hard day for you. I''ll wait for you. Be careful on the way!"


    In the others'' ears, Natalie''s voice was clear, and her tone was cheerful.


    They all thought it sounded like a little girl.


    They all looked up and braced themselves to stare at Kendrick''s face. Then they saw him smile slightly


    as he said "Okay" on the phone.


    After hanging up, Kendrick said, "It''s alreadyte. The meeting is over. Go back to dinner."


    After saying that, he took the lead to leave the conference room.


    As soon as Kendrick left, the conference room was filled with voices. Eva Perry, the head of the


    channel market center, stood up from the chair and said, "When did Mr. Ramsey get married? Why


    don''t we know anything?"


    Normally, Kendrick''s news was the first to be known by the channel marketing center because they


    were in charge of publicity and public rtions.


    "I don''t know, and no one knows, but the voice we heard just now sounded very young. Could it be that


    Mrs. Ramsey is only eighteen years old?"


    "Definitely not. Mr. Ramsey still has a moral bottom line."


    "Why haven''t you hurried to eat? Anyway, thanks to Mrs. Ramsey, or we will still be in a meeting now."


    "That''s true. I hope Mrs. Ramsey can remind her husband to go home for dinner on time every day."


    The group executives in the conference room were not the only ones in a mixed and shocked mood.


    In the small group chat of the president''s office, Nigel was now being crazily mentioned.


    [Nigel, when did Mr. Ramsey get married? Why is there no news? Do you know that?]


    [Nigel must know. He just doesn''t tell us. I''m hurt!]


    [I heard that Mrs. Ramsey is only 18 years old and has just graduated from high school. Is it true? I''m


    really shocked! I don''t expect Mr. Ramsey to be such a person!!]


    Nigel was out to deal with the development project in West Goldburg. As soon as he got into his car, he


    was startled by the frantic messages popping up on his mobile phone. He clicked into the group chat


    and when he saw those messages, he patted his head, wondering in shock what had happened.


    After figuring it out, he hurriedly sent a message. [Nigel: Mrs. Ramsey is not eighteen, but twenty-two.


    Don''t spread false information.]


    The group chat went crazy again.


    [Do you have any pictures? Show me, and I''ll treat you to coffee.]


    [Forget about coffee. Just help him get a girlfriend!]


    [Nigel: I don''t have any pictures! Don''t think about it. If Mr. Ramsey knows it, all your year-end bonus


    will be cleared.]


    The group chat fell silent immediately. Then they began to send various emojis.


    Seeing that, Nigel felt really tired.


    ...


    Natalie had no idea that her phone call had aroused so much curiosity.


    She was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with a pillow in her arms, and waiting for Kendrick toe


    back to eat together.


    However, while watching TV, she fell asleep.


    Suddenly, a voice came from the door.


    Natalie woke up and saw Baron pushing Kendrick in. She quickly got up from the sofa, ran over, and


    said, "You''re finally back."


    "There was a traffic jam. You must wait for a long time."


    "No." Natalie shook her head and pushed him to the dinner table. "Let''s have dinner."


    "Don''t wait for me next time. It will dy your time," said Kendrick.


    "It won''t!" Natalie sat down and took the tableware for him. "It''s no trouble waiting for you." She paused


    for a second and then said in confusion, "But I really don''t understand why there was still a meeting at


    7 p. m. It should be the time for dinner. In the past, I hated attending meetings the most when it was


    about time to eat."


    As soon as she had finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong.


    She suddenly reacted that Kendrick was the one who still held a meeting at 7 p. m.


    Natalie couldn''t help but think, "I seem to have said something wrong.


    Sorry, please forgive me for not knowing the working hours of apany''s president."


    "I will pay attention to this." After thinking for a while, Kendrick nodded and agreed. "I will control my


    schedule in the future."


    "Then if you can''te back in time, can you tell me in advance?"


    The request sounded very reasonable to Natalie.


    However, no one dared to make any demands on Kendrick except Seth.


    Kendrick did not answer immediately.


    Natalie looked at him.


    She thought, "Will he feel annoyed at my request?"


    "I will let Nigel synchronize my schedule with you. If you have any requests, let him adjust the


    schedule," said Kendrick slowly.


    Natalie was kind of speechless.


    She said to herself in her heart, "He''s really straightforward.


    How could he say such words?"


    She tightened the grip on her fork and said, "If I want to meet you or have dinner with you, I have to


    make an appointment with you so that I can add my name to your schedule and stagger the time with


    those businessmen who want to see you. Is that right?"


    It sounded like nothing was wrong.


    After all, anyone who wanted to see Kendrick had to make an appointment in advance.


    However, Natalie was his legal wife, but not a business partner. Therefore, she really didn''t want to be


    the same as the other people. She wanted to be a little special in Kendrick''s heart.


    Suddenly, Natalie seemed to be a little unhappy.


    Kendrick noticed that in time and said tentatively, "Well, what about asking Nigel..."


    "Can''t I tell you directly?"


    "Of course you can!" Kendrick nodded. "Send me a message if you need something. I will reply to you


    when I see it."


    Seeing that she was still a little angry, Kendrick sliced a pork chop for her and said, "No one bothers us


    today. Eat more meat."


    Natalie couldn''t helpughing.


    She instantly reacted that Kendrick still remembered what had happened yesterday.


    "You should also eat more." Natalie severed him some dishes, and soon, Kendrick''s te was piled up


    high.


    Kendrick smiled helplessly. "That''s enough. I can''t eat so much."


    Natalie immediately took a sparerib from his te and ced it on her own. Then she said, "Now, I


    have as much food as you."


    Seeing that, Kendrick couldn''t help but think, "She was still a little angry one second ago, but now she''s


    eating spareribs happily.


    Is this what a woman is like?


    Well, it seems to be not a bad thing."


    ...


    After dinner, Kendrick returned to his room.


    It was hot inside the room, and Kendrick unbuttoned his shirt unhurriedly with his slender fingers.


    When he was about to take off his shirt, there was a knock at the door.


    Kendrick thought it was Baron, so he didn''t mind it and said, "Come in." Meanwhile, he took off his shirt


    and threw it on the bed.


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    The door was pushed open.


    Natalie came in and saw that Kendrick had taken off his shirt, and his upper body with clear texture


    was exposed in front of her.


    His abdominal muscles were refined, and the muscle lines were clear.


    He was not of a very robust build, but the shape of his muscles was perfect.


    Natalie was a little surprised. After all, Kendrick looked rather slim in his shirt, so she did not expect him


    to look so strong when he took it off.


    She suspected that he exercised regrly.


    As she was already in, Natalie felt that it would be a little awkward to leave the room.


    Therefore, she hurriedly said, "Do you want to take a bath? Do you need my help?"


    Rarely, the muscles on the corners of Kendrick''s forehead bulged, and he stuck the tip of his tongue


    against his back teeth. After a long time, he asked, "How are you going to help me?"

 Chapter 13 All Kendrick Thinks About Is Natalie

    Chapter 13 All Kendrick Thinks About Is Natalie


    Chapter 13 All Kendrick Thinks About Is Natalie


    When he said this, he smiled lightly, and there was a hint of banter in his dark eyes.


    Natalie came to ask him about the family dinner this weekend.


    However, it happened that he was about to take a bath.


    "I can..." Natalie thought for a while and said earnestly, "fill the bathtub and help you find clothes. I''m


    now going to run the bath water for you."


    After saying that, she walked towards the bathroom.


    However, just as she had taken a few steps, Kendrick stopped her.


    Natalie looked back and waited for his words.


    "The bathroom is over there." Kendrick raised his finger and pointed in the other direction.


    Natalie hurriedly turned around.


    The bathroom wasrge, with low-key but luxurious decorations. There was a huge hand-carved


    jacuzzi and a projection screen on the wall for Kendrick to watch movies or read documents while


    bathing.


    Natalie adjusted the water to the proper temperature.


    At that moment, Kendrick had pushed the door in.


    He had clean pajamas in his hand.


    "Can you do it alone?" After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you need me to help you...undress?"


    Meanwhile, she thought, "After all, we are husband and wife.


    We have to face things like this in the future.


    Therefore, it''s better to say it in advance."


    Natalie bit her lip, looked up into Kendrick''s eyes, and did not dodge.


    Kendrick was silent.


    For some reason, he thought of Natalie''s fair and sexy breast outline she revealed when she bent in


    front of himst night.


    He thought, "She is really naive and ignorant in something like this.


    Is that why she speaks without scruples?


    Is she also like this in front of other men?"


    Kendrick''s eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "No, go out!"


    Kendrick had been cold and distant. Tender as he seemed, he was cold inside.


    Natalie was not afraid of his annoyance. She just exined gently and patiently, "I don''t mean anything


    else. I just thought it would be more convenient for you to bathe with my help. If you are not used to it,


    we can do it in the future. I will leave you here alone. Just call my name if you need any help."


    After closing the door, Natalie let out a sigh.


    She thought, "I may be a little too hasty.


    At this stage, Kendrick doesn''t seem to bepletely open to me, so I''m naturally not as close to him


    as Baron. Even though it seems normal and reasonable for me to say such words, Kendrick should not


    be used to exposing his wounds to me.


    The original host of this body has married Kendrick for more than a year, but the two of them haven''t


    had muchmunication, let alone intimate contact.


    What''s more, the original host has not yet dealt with her feelings thoroughly."


    ...


    Kendrick leaned against the huge jacuzzi.


    He thought, "She said that if I was not used to it, we could do such things in the future.


    It''s clear that she insists on taking care of me, and she seems very determined.


    She seems gentle, but I can feel that she will do whatever she wants and will not give up easily.


    She smiles more often than before.


    Besides, she speaks more directly and never beats around the bush."


    The warm water from the shower sshed over his body.


    Kendrick closed his eyes.


    For the first time, when he was in a bath, all he thought about was Natalie.


    Kendrick suddenly opened his eyes.


    He projected his mobile phone on the opposite screen and casually scanned some news, which was


    extremely boring.


    After that, he reviewed the project n made by someone unknown and found it so impractical that he


    felt the person in charge of it should be dismissed immediately.


    ...


    Natalie went back to her bedroom to take a bath, dried her hair, and applied a facial mask.


    Tomorrow was Friday, and she had to go back to the Ramsey''s mansion with Kendrick.


    However, she hadn''t decided which dress to wear yet.


    Natalie took off the facial mask and went into the cloakroom.


    The room was actually connected to Kendrick''s side bedroom. As a result, she could go directly to his


    side bedroom from here.


    However, she felt it was a little impolite to do so.


    In the cloakroom, there were all kinds of big-name dresses, many of which had not yet had the tags


    removed.


    The jewelry inside was dazzling.


    The shoe rack was full of various high heels, including those with crystal ribbons, thin heels, sloping


    heels, and so on.


    Many of them were even limited.


    It could be seen that in terms of food and clothing, Kendrick did not treat Natalie badly.


    The original host had thought about selling these luxuries, but no one dared to buy them, for the trading


    channels of these goods were open.


    No one dared to touch anything marked by Kendrick.


    Natalie chose a few dresses in in colors and was ready to ask for Kendrick''s references.


    Wearing a strawberry nightdress, Natalie walked out of her bedroom and happened to see Baron


    "No, Mr. Ramsey is reading."


    Natalie nodded, knocked at the door, and asked, "May Ie in?"


    After being permitted, she pushed the door open.


    "I want you to give me some references." Natalie went over,id several dresses on the bed, and said,


    "I selected a few in dresses for the family dinner tomorrow. Help me see which one is suitable."


    As soon as Kendrick moved his lips, he saw that Natalie stretched out her finger to stop him. "Don''t say


    things like all these dresses are suitable for me or it''s all up to me."


    Meanwhile, she thought, "I have to block everything he wants to say in advance.


    When talking with such a straightforward man, I can''t beat around the bush. I have to be direct and


    persuasive. In case he may say something unpleasant, I have to give an early warning to stop him."


    Thinking of this, Natalie said, "I''ll try them on one by one in front of you. Help me choose one, okay?"


    She decided to present all the options to Kendrick and then let him make the choice. She wanted to


    respect his opinion by doing so.


    Since she had already said so, Kendrick could only agree.


    Natalie ran to the cloakroom to try on the dresses.


    The first one was a sleeveless A-line dress in blue and white, hemmed to the knee, revealing her


    delicate, fair calves. The dress was mature and professional, and its style was ssic.


    Kendrick put his finger on his lips, looked up and down for a few seconds, and then said, "Turn


    around."


    Natalie turned with a gust of wind, and the fragrance of her body shampoo came up in the air.


    "Try another one!"


    The second one was a cherry-patterned chiffon dress in adylike style. The design of the waist made


    her waist look slim. The moment she came out of the cloakroom, Kendrick felt that she looked like a


    fairy.


    Natalie was always a beautiful girl.


    However, in the past, she had always shown a bitter face and never smiled.


    As a result, she always looked dumb.


    Now, she was smiling, and she looked confident and nimble.


    Kendrick nodded.


    He thought the dress was very nice.


    Natalie looked pure and vivacious in this dress, but not frivolous. Therefore, Kendrick thought it was the


    most suitable for her to go to the family dinner.


    "Wait, let me try thest one."


    Thest one was a white dress with palmitic patterns and stereo cutting. It was mature in style and


    bright in color.


    Actually, all three dresses were very beautiful.


    Kendrick chose the second one.


    "Do you mean that cherry-pattern dress?" Natalie asked.


    "Yes," said Kendrick simply.


    It seemed that even one more word would cost him tens of billions.


    Therefore, Natalie didn''t expect him to say anything praising. She tilted her head and said, "OK, that''s it


    then. I also think it''s good."


    There was a fragrance in the air. Natalie took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. It''s the smell


    of orange flowers."


    She turned to look at the humidifier on the side, and there was a faint sweetness in the water mist that


    steamed out.


    Kendrick needed essential oil to sleep at night.


    It was provided for him by his psychiatrist.


    "Orange flowers, bergamot, cedar, and chamomile." Natalie urately pointed out the form in the


    essential oil.


    Kendrick turned sideways and handed her the bottle of essential oil beside the humidifier.


    The words on the bottle were all in Fayman.


    Natalie took a nce at it and then looked back at him. "It''s better to apply this essential oil on your


    wrists and temples."


    Natalie suspected that the room was cleaned by Ashlynn and the others, who did not know Fayman, so


    they dropped it directly into the humidifier.


    Natalie smiled and said, "Give me your hand."


    Kendrick reached out his hand.


    Natalie caught it in her palm.

    When he said this, he smiled lightly, and there was a hint of banter in his dark eyes.

    ...


    Kendrick leaned against the huge jacuzzi.


    He thought, "She said that if I was not used to it, we could do such things in the future.


    It''s clear that she insists on taking care of me, and she seems very determined.


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    She looks gentle, but she will do whatever she wants and will not give up easily.


    She smiles more often than before.


    Besides, she speaks more directly and never beats around the bush."


    The warm water from the shower sshed over his body.


    Kendrick closed his eyes.


    For the first time, when he took a bath, all he thought about was Natalie.


    Kendrick suddenly opened his eyes.


    He projected his phone on the opposite screen and casually scanned some news, which was extremely


    boring.


    After that, he reviewed the project n made by someone he didn''t know and found it so impractical


    that he felt the person in charge of it should be dismissed immediately.


    ...


    Natalie went back to her bedroom to take a bath, dried her hair, and applied a facial mask.


    Tomorrow was Friday, and she had to go back to the Ramsey''s mansion with Kendrick.


    However, she hadn''t decided which dress to wear yet.


    Natalie took off the facial mask and went into the cloakroom.


    The room was actually connected to Kendrick''s side bedroom. As a result, she could go directly to his


    side bedroom from here.


    However, she felt it was a little impolite to do so.


    In the cloakroom, there were all kinds of big-name dresses, many of which hadn''t the tags removed.


    The jewelry inside was dazzling.


    The shoe rack was full of various high heels, including those with crystal ribbons, thin heels, sloping


    heels, and so on.


    Many of them were even limited.


    In terms of food and clothing, Kendrick did not treat Natalie badly.


    The original host had even thought about selling these luxuries, but no one dared to buy them, for the


    trading channels of these goods were open.


    No one dared to touch anything branded by Kendrick.


    Natalie chose a few dresses in in colors and was ready to ask for Kendrick''s reference.


    Wearing a strawberry nightdress, Natalie walked out of her bedroom and happened to see Baron


    "No, Mr. Ramsey is reading."


    Natalie nodded, knocked at the door, and asked, "May Ie in?"


    After being confirmed, she pushed the door open.


    "I want you to give me some references." Natalie went over andid several dresses on the bed and


    said, "I selected a few in dresses for the family dinner tomorrow. Help me see which one is suitable."


    As soon as Kendrick moved his lips, he saw that Natalie stretched out her finger to stop him. "Don''t say


    that each one is suitable for me or it''s all up to me."


    Meanwhile, she thought, "I have to block everything he wants to say in advance.


    When talking with a straightforward man, I can''t beat around the bush. I have to be direct and


    persuasive. In case he may say something unpleasant, I have to give an early warning to stop him."


    Thinking of this, Natalie said, "I''ll try them on one by one in front of you. Help me choose one, okay?"


    She wanted to present all the options to Kendrick and then let him make the decision. She wanted to


    respect his opinion by doing so.


    Since she had already said so, Kendrick could only agree.


    Natalie ran to the cloakroom to try on the dresses.


    The first was a sleeveless A-line dress in blue and white, hemmed to the knee, revealing her delicate,


    fair calves. Natalie looked mature and professional in the dress, and its style was ssic.


    Kendrick put his finger on his lips, looked up and down, and then said, "Turn around."


    Natalie turned with a gust of wind, and the fragrance of her bath came up in the air.


    "Try another one!"


    The second was a cherry-patterned chiffon dress in adylike style. The design of the waist made her


    waist look slim. The moment she came out of the cloakroom, Kendrick felt that she looked like a fairy.


    Natalie was always a beautiful girl.


    However, in the past, she had always shown a bitter face and never smiled.


    As a result, she looked dull and dumb.


    Now, she was smiling, and she looked confident and nimble.


    Kendrick nodded.


    He thought the dress was very nice.


    Natalie looked pure and vivacious in this dress, but not frivolous. Therefore, Kendrick thought it was the


    most suitable for her to go to the family dinner.


    "Wait, let me try thest one."


    Thest one was a white dress with palm patterns and stereo cutting. It was mature and bright.


    Actually, all three dresses were very beautiful.


    Kendrick chose the second one.


    "Is that cherry-pattern dress?" Natalie asked.


    "Yes," said Kendrick simply.


    It seemed to him that even one more word would cost him tens of billions.


    Therefore, Natalie didn''t expect him to say anything praiseworthy. She tilted her head and said, "OK,


    that''s it. I also think it''s good."


    There was a fragrance in the air. Natalie took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. It belongs to


    orange flowers."


    She turned to look at the humidifier on the side, and there was a faint sweetness in the water mist that


    steamed out.


    Kendrick needed essential oil to sleep at night.


    It was provided for him by his psychiatrist.


    "Orange flower, bergamot, cedar, and chamomile," Natalie urately pointed out the form in the


    essential oil.


    Kendrick turned sideways and handed her the essential oil beside the humidifier.


    The words on the bottle were all in Fayman.


    Natalie took a nce at it and then looked back at him. "It''s better to apply this essential oil on your


    wrist and temples."


    Natalie suspected that the room was cleaned by Ashlynn and the others, who could not understand


    Fayman, so they dropped it directly into the humidifier.


    Natalie smiled and said, "Give me your hand."


    Kendrick reached out his hand.


    Natalie caught it in her palm.

 Chapter 14 She Rubbed His Palm with Her Fingers

    Chapter 14 She Rubbed His Palm with Her Fingers


    Chapter 14 She Rubbed His Palm with Her Fingers


    "Like this." Natalie Quinn put a drop of the essence on his palm and gently smoothed it with her middle


    finger.


    Her hands were soft and warm.


    She rubbed his palm with her finger.


    He felt it hot and a little itchy.


    It was amazing.


    Natalie raised her hand and then gently tapped him on his temple, saying, "If you can''t fall asleep, you


    can smooth some oil in your palm first, and apply them on your wrists and your temples. And then take


    a deep breath."


    She was so close to him.


    As she was speaking, her rosy lips opened and shut, like cherries with an attractive color.


    She had fair and fine skin, and no pores could be seen at close range.


    She also got a fresh scent after bathing.


    Kendrick Ramsey closed his eyes. He followed her words and took a deep breath.


    The smell of the oil brought him a sense of calm.


    It could help him sleep.


    Natalie sat up straight and said with a smile, "Wish you a good sleep. Good night then!"


    "Good night!"


    She folded the skirt and pointed to the cloakroom, "Then I will go that way."


    Although their rooms were connected, they had always left each other alone, let alone had such


    physical contact at the moment.


    Before Natalie slept, she checked Kendrick''s schedule for tomorrow.


    His schedule was not filled up as before.


    The psychiatrist woulde for routine counseling in the morning.


    The meeting in the afternoon would end at three o''clock, and then he would go to Ramsey''s mansion


    with her.


    Natalie''s hands still caught the scent of the oil.


    She raised her hand and smelt it. It helped calm the nerves.


    ...


    Lance Hoover, the psychiatrist, arrived half an hour early in the morning.


    It was Natalie who greeted him.


    "Please take a seat first and have some water. Kendrick is in a meeting. Please wait for a moment."


    Lance had met her a few times before, but they had no interaction at all. She didn''t like meeting


    strangers, not to mention greeting them. Therefore, it was the maids of the family who always


    entertained him.


    But this time it was Mrs. Ramsay personally, making Dr. Hoover bewildered.


    Natalie sat down across from him. She poured a cup of tea for him and then pushed a dish of pastry,


    "Have a taste of the pastry please."


    As Lance couldn''t refuse her offer, he tasted the pastry and tried to tter her, "Did you make it


    yourself, Mrs. Ramsay? It tastes good."


    "Well, I didn''t. I brought it." answered Natalie.


    He felt that he just praised her in the wrong way.


    "Dr. Hoover, why don''t we add each other on the tform?" said Natalie, "Then we canmunicate


    easily when we need to."


    "Well, all right."


    Dr. Hoover turned on the phone so that she could scan his QR code, and immediately he found that


    she changed his remark to Kendrick''s psychiatrist.


    He expected his remark to be "Dr. Hoover", but he found that he didn''t even have his name for the


    remark.


    "Well, it will be easier to remember." exined Natalie.


    "I understand. I''ve got to go up, Mrs. Ramsey." said Lance.


    "Well, all right. How about staying here for lunch? I''ll have the kitchen prepare it."


    "Thank you, but I can''t trouble you for it, for this time."


    Lance tried hard to control his expressions and rushed upstairs.


    The door of the study was pushed open.


    Kendrick looked up to Lance with a poker face and frowned, "What''s wrong? Why are you so flurried?"


    "Have you improved your rtionship recently?" asked Lance unconsciously.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows, "Did you switch to marriage counseling"?"


    Certainly Lance didn''t. He was just curious about it.


    "But..." Kendrick changed the topic, "Well, recently we have gotten along much better than before."


    And it was more than that. He also feltfortable.


    "Congrattions. See. She just said hello to me and greeted me personally. She also added me on the


    tform."


    Hearing that, Kendrick caught timely thest sentence Lance just said, "She''d offered to add you?"


    "That was right." Lance nodded.


    He seemed to notice some "danger" as he heard the question.


    "I don''t even deserve a name." Dr. Hoover became angry, "She changed my remark to your


    psychiatrist."


    He felt it hurt.


    "Well, I suspect she has changed the remarks of everyone, to your driver, your bodyguard and


    something like that."


    Probably the remarks in her phone were all about Kendrick!


    Kendrick thought of such a situation.


    He felt it rather funny.


    "Time''s up. Let''s get started then!"


    Kendrick would have a 50-minutes consultation. After years of this kind of psychological treatment,


    Kendrick had gradually reached a stable mental state. Therefore, within 30 minutes, Dr. Hoover could


    diagnose that Kendrick was in good spirits these days.


    Lance was under great pressure when delivering psychological counseling to Kendrick. He came back


    from studying abroad, with a top educational background and high professional quality. He was


    recognized when he first did the consultation for Kendrick and then became the fixed psychological


    consultant for thetter. After a long time, they had gotten along with each other, unlike other


    consultants and patients who only had indifferentmunication.


    There were 20 minutes left.


    Kendrick yed with the pen in his hand and asked, "You just mentioned that she said hello to you and


    greeted you personally?"


    "She did. She is not quite like before." Lance thought about it, and then said, "She was rather friendly


    and polite this time."


    Because Lance once mildly suggested that the original owner should also have psychological


    counselling, she just thought Lance was indicating she was sick and thus her face copsed. She


    almost asked him to get out if she could.


    "Indeed, she''s been a little differenttely." Kendrick said, "She has changed a lot."


    "Can you be specific?"


    "As you can see," Kendrick said, "she is more open and brighter than before. She bes more


    mature in saying and doing, and can tackle things with more ease. Just smart and alert."


    And certainly, she was lovelier.


    "So, she is moving towards a good direction and bing a better person. That''s nice."


    "It''s just," Kendrick frowned, "what''s the chance then?"


    Normally, people would only change their characters suddenly after suffering from major changes or


    amnesia.


    But she didn''t look like she had amnesia at all.


    Could she stab herself and then have a sudden enlightenment?


    After all, Kendrick had had aplete and systematic study of general logic, but he still couldn''t


    exin it in a scientific way.


    With rich working experience, Lance said, "Chance might not be the only factor. Probably she has a


    sudden enlightenment,monly known asing round. If the specific reason can''t be found out,


    just try to keep the nice result and that is it."


    Kendrick didn''t expect any useful information from Lance, but he quite agreed with thest sentence


    that thetter said.


    He decided not to dwell on her change.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Natalie changed into a long dress covered with cherries and got dressed. She was


    ready toe back to the Ramsey family for the banquet.


    She wore in makeup.


    Alisson sprayed the setting spray for Natalie, and put a diamond hairpin in Natalie''s hair, saying, "Mrs.


    Ramsey, your skill of making up is much better than before."


    As Natalie became much more good-tempered, Alisson dared to speak to Natalie.


    "I have watched a few teaching videos recently." said Natalie calmly.


    In fact, it was her senior who taught her carefully. She felt it a bother, but her senior forced her to learn


    such skills.


    So there was no problem with daily makeup. She asked Alisson to help her with the makeup for the


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    banquetst time.


    "The dress is also pretty. It''s most suitable for a family banquet." Alisson gave anotherpliment.


    Natalie pursed her lips and smiled, "Kendrick chose it."


    Alisson opened her eyes wide, feeling quite surprised.


    "I gave him three dresses of different styles that I like and asked him to choose one. Well, I referred to


    his advice and thus he would have a sense of participation." Natalie said with a smile, "By doing so, we


    both would be satisfied, and then get on with each other in a rather easy andfortable way."


    Alisson said admiringly, "Mrs. Ramsey, you are an expert, aren''t you!"

 Chapter 15 The Heroine Came

    Chapter 15 The Heroine Came


    Chapter 15 The Heroine Came


    Getting along with people was a process of mutual respect.


    She was perfectly patient with Kendrick.


    Others would never get such treatment except him.


    Natalie stood up, "It''s time for me to go out."


    She nced at Alisson before leaving, and took Alisson''s hand, saying, "You have a lot of hangnails in


    your hands. You''d better take more vitamin B." After saying that, she just gave the hand scream on the


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    desk to Alisson, "Here, take this. Remember to use it after washing your hands."


    Alisson was surprised. She hurriedly took the cream and expressed her gratitude as she responded.


    She watched Natalie going out, and then whispered to Ashlynn, "Mrs. Ramsay just said that I got many


    hangnails in my hands and she thus gave me a hand cream. How thoughtful she is. Well, I don''t even


    notice them."


    Ashlynn agreed, "Well, yesterday she told me to drink eight sses of water every day, and said I had


    dry skin."


    "Mrs. Ramsey has changed a lot recently. She is bright and lovesughing. And she became so patient


    with Mr. Ramsey."


    "She''s more than that. It seems that she is rather knowledgeable and talented." Ashlynn covered her


    mouth, "The wish I have made before the New Year is about toe true."


    Alisson was curious, "What kind of wish?"


    "Well... I just wish that Mrs. Ramsey and Mr. Ramsey would get along well, otherwise it is suffocating


    every day in the family. Every time I go upstairs to Mrs. Ramsey''s room, I''m under great pressure for


    fear that I should get a rollicking."


    "Does the wish really work? I''ll have a try then." Alisson said, "Well, we will take a holiday from this


    afternoon to tomorrow, and then I can make a wish for my love affairs."


    Ashlynn thought silently, "Probably the wish will never work if she does that."


    --


    Only two phrases were used to describe the Ramsey Group in the original book.


    Hoodwinked the public and got fabulously wealthy.


    The ancestors of the family were rather illustrious and powerful. Seth Ramsey, Kendrick''s grandfather,


    was born into a top-notch military and political family. He traveled to Norford as the family fortunes


    declined. After experiencing many years of ups and downs, he founded the Ramsey Group single-


    handedly.


    Its business covered many fields including real estate, finance, machinery and chemistry.


    The Ramsey family hadplex rtionships and arge poption.


    Even after reading the family tree again in the car, Natalie still couldn''t distinguish between different


    kinships of the family members.


    She just knew that at present Seth most loved Brett Ramsey, the son of his eldest son, because Brett


    bore a striking resemnce to him when he was young.


    Although Brett had served overseas for many years, he would be back today.


    Another one was Maggie Ramsey, who had the protagonist privilege in the book.


    She was the youngest granddaughter in the family and Brett''s younger sister.


    She was favored by nature and the family.


    Based on the book''s chronological sequence, Maggie might be twenty years old this year, and was still


    a sophomore in the Academy of Film and Television.


    As for Kendrick, he was not favored because his father disobeyed Seth and refused the family


    marriage.


    His parents died young.


    And he got deformed legs.


    He had always been invisible and unnoticed for the first twenty years of his life.


    It wasn''t until recent years that he seeded in carrying out a project which no one rated and thus


    gradually made his voice heard in the family.


    Every banquet held in the Ramsey family would never be an opportunity simply for all the members to


    gather together to have a meal or talk about the old days in order to rekindle the brotherhood.


    Instead, there would be conflicts of interest.


    The group was sorge, having numerous descendants.


    Therefore, Seth would re-divide the interest of the group based on performances.


    In short, projects with high benefits and profits that were easy to achieve would be allocated to anyone


    performing well.


    Those who failed to do so would only be marginalized.


    Indeed, it was that cruel.


    As for the banquet today...


    Natalie turned to look at Kendrick and said, "If today''s family banquet is held only to celebrate Brett''s


    arrival, it''s actually nothing to do with us and we''ll just eat the meal quietly. Am I right?"


    She had a little social phobia.


    She didn''t like any crowded ce.


    That was simr to the original owner.


    Therefore, Kendrick and her moved out of the Ramsey''s mansion and lived in their own martial house.


    "Just stay by my side." said Kendrick, "I will take the shot for you if anything happens."


    He just said so out of his nature, without extra feelings.


    But Natalie just had some delicate affection to him.


    He was manly indeed.


    In this kind of marriage, he has done everything he could with due diligence, except for developing a


    feeling for her.


    --


    The Ramsey''s mansion was rather quiet.


    Although the house was located in the city center, it kept off the hustle and bustle nearby.


    The pavilion in the house was built in a simr style to the ancient architectural one. But it also blended


    the modern elements together, having swimming pools, golf courses and tennis courts.


    The word "luxurious" would be barely enough to describe it.


    Therefore, the Quinn family tried every means to marry their daughter off.


    Even though Kendrick had deformed legs, they would still permit the marriage.


    After all, his surname was Ramsey.


    The Quinn family was detestable.


    However, but for them, probably she would never have any contact with Kendrick in her life.


    Natalie pushed the wheelchair towards the main house. Those thoughts shed through her mind, but


    soon she stopped thinking about it. No, she felt that she could not whitewash what they had done. They


    just did it for profit purely.


    "The koi in that pond are so beautiful. Why don''t we go there and have a look?"


    With sharp eyes, she noticed that all the koi in the pond in the rockery before her were rare, one of


    which would probably cost a great amount of money.


    "... All right."


    They walked forward for a while.


    "Ken!"


    Someone ahead suddenly stopped them.


    Natalie looked up.


    It was Maggieing.


    The description of Maggie''s appearance in the original book almost exhausted the author''s fancy words


    in his life. To say it simply, if must, Maggie was so beautiful that she even looked good in scruffy


    clothes.


    She was only twenty years old now, and the story had not yet begun.


    Two yearster, she would go for a ride because of a broken rtionship and just save Jared Brewer,


    the protagonist and the illegitimate son of the Brewer family or the Norford overlord. He hid his identity


    as a gigolo and an Adonis and then deceived Maggie a lot.


    Natalie didn''t read the original book carefully, but she knew that Maggie became an international


    actress in the end.


    Therefore, following her would definitely be the key to traffic and wealth generation.


    "What are you thinking about, Nat?" Maggie frowned.


    The original owner didn''t have much contact with Maggie and thus had no conflict temporarily.


    Natalie came back to earth and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m saying that you''d better take a rest, and I can push the wheelchair for Ken." Maggie was a bit self-


    willed. She hated being ignored when talking.


    "That won''t be necessary!" Natalie smiled, "But you can hold an umbre for us."


    The sunlight in the afternoon was rather zing. She pushed the wheelchair with one hand and held


    the umbre with another. It would be better if someone was willing to help.


    But Maggie found it unbelievable.


    What? How could Natalie tell her what to do?


    But Natalie had already delivered the umbre.


    Maggie was forced to hold it.


    Natalie took out a sunscreen spray from her bag and sprayed it into her face, saying, "The house is so


    big. I feel like I''ve been walking for a long time. It''s boiling and I almost get sunburned."


    Maggie felt puzzled, "Then why don''t we walk along the long corridor of the flower stand, which leads


    directly to the hall and can cut out the sunlight."


    "Well, I''ve forgot it." Natalie said calmly, "Kendrick, why didn''t you remind me? Have you forgotten it


    too?"


    He replied to him with profound resignation, "Aren''t youing here to see the koi?"


    So now Nat wanted to see the koi in the pond, and Ken thus endured the heat and apanied her to


    go a long way round.


    Moreover, Ken was always cold and indifferent, having a strict word limit. Then why did his tone show


    some favor of Nat?

 Chapter 16 Tell Me How Was It Your Fault

    Chapter 16 Tell Me How Was It Your Fault


    Chapter 16 Tell Me How Was It Your Fault


    "It''s too hot now. Why don''t wee here at night when the lights are on?"


    Maggie said so hastily.


    The two of them were watching the koi while Maggie was holding an umbre for them, and she didn''t


    want to witness their public disy of affection on such a hot day.


    She held the umbre for them, and said to Kendrick, "Nancy and her familye here today, but Brett


    is still on the way. I think he will be here soon. Well, it has not been so lively for a long time in the


    family. Ken, if you don''t like the noise, how about I take you upstairs directly through the side door?"


    "Well, since I came here, there is no reason to avoid it."


    "All right. Let''s go to the hall then."


    Nancy who Maggie had just mentioned was a real piece of work. She was arrogant and always shot


    from the hip.


    Some memories popped up in Natalie''s mind.


    "You would be no one but a girl just marrying to bring good luck if we were in ancient times. How can


    you have no greeting to the elders? Look at your bad manners."


    "And just don''t have many hopes. If you give birth to a baby earlier, you might be back in the saddle.


    Well, I''m wondering whether Kendrick is sterile based on his physical condition."


    "You are so skinny and unlovable. I don''t think you are lucky at first nce. Well, if you are, how will


    you marry Ken?"


    It was rather peculiar.


    Such painful impressions from the original owner were quite deep in Natalie''s mind.


    Many of them were actually bad, hardly good.


    Even when Natalie wanted to search for some sweet memories about Orion and Litzy, she just found


    them very few.


    As she thought about it, they had arrived in the hall.


    "Well well, Kendrick is back." Nancy''s voice was heard, bing rather abrupt in the hall, "Look at


    you, you just run around as you are not so mobile. Well, it''s all right if you don''te. No one will


    me you."


    Probably Nancy was like those troublesome busybodies who one would meet when he went home for


    the New Year.


    "Brett rarelyes home. How can I not be here, since you are back?" said Kendrick distantly.


    Nancy was speechless, "..."


    She turned to look at Natalie, and said indifferently, "Well, Natalie, how can you be the same as before


    and have no greeting to the elders?"


    Natalie was the only outsider here, and the most vulnerable one superficially.


    Nancy just bullied the fable one.


    Hearing that, Natalie went to Nancy immediately. She bent down and bowed, greeting in the standard


    way, "Hello, Nancy." And then she turned to look at the middle-aged man with a slightly embarrassed


    look sitting beside her, and started to greet him, "Hello, Chad." After that, she touched the head of


    Natalie''s son lovingly, "Well, I haven''t seen you in a few months, and you''ve grown so tall!"


    But the child immediately shook off her hand and said angrily, "That is annoying. Just don''t touch me."


    What a spoiled brat he was.


    Kendrick frowned.


    But Natalie still smiled slightly instead, "Well, what a temper you have. I remember... you are in


    elementary school. Am I right?"


    She didn''t remember his name.


    "He is in the third-year ss."


    "He looks so smart. Well, he must perform rather well in the ss!"


    Hearing the praise, Nancy said modestly, "Top ten in the grade."


    "Oh?" Natalie said dramatically, "I think he is the top one. Well, being in the top ten is rather nice.


    Although nine students are better than him, after all, there are so many students in the grade. Well, just


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    work harder and strive to be in the top three. Come on. I have faith in him."


    It was apliment.


    But why did it sound so... ufortable?


    Nancy found that something was wrong. She endured it and then said with a smile, "Natalie, you really


    love kids, don''t you? You have been married for more than a year. When do you n to have children


    then?"


    Natalie found such a question a piece of cake.


    She smiled gently, "We will, when the babyes."


    It seemed that she had given her answer, and that nothing important had been said.


    "The daughter-inw of Mr. Moody next door has been married for a year, but she has already had a


    second child."


    "Well, if the first child is born, isn''t another kid a second child?"


    "Poof..." Maggie standing nearby couldn''t help giggling.


    When did Nat be so funny?


    Nancy couldn''t hold back anymore, and wanted to ze out.


    However, as she found Kendrick''s deep and quiet face, she said gloomily, "Well, just out of my good


    intentions. You little kids, just never mind if you don''t understand."


    Kendrick smiled distantly, "Nancy, Nat is still young. We can talk about itter."


    Although he was smiling, his look was not so polite.


    Time had changed. Kendrick was not only the little child who had lost his parents and was bullied with


    no courage to fight back.


    Nancy repressed all the resentment.


    Edgar, the housekeeper, came down from upstairs at that moment. He saw Natalie and said, "Mrs.


    Ramsey, Seth is asking you to the study."


    Hearing that, Natalie pointed at herself.


    Alone?


    Edgar stretched out his hand: "Please!"


    Kendrick looked at her, giving her an encouraging look.


    Seth was someone who could not be underestimated. He was determined and tough, having three


    sons and a daughter. Over these years, he had gradually retired from important positions in the group


    and delegated the power to his descendants.


    Kendrick was the most outstanding one among the grandchildren, and he kept a low profile, having not


    fully released his energy.


    Natalie knocked on the door of the study, and then heard amanding voice, "Come in."


    She pushed open the door and went in.


    In the quaint and spacious study was sitting an august old man with white hair and a white robe which


    looked very much like the attire of a powerful family in thest century.


    "Take a seat!"


    He pointed to the chair in front of him and said in rich voice.


    Natalie followed his words and sat down.


    "I call you toe here, because Kendrick will never tell me the truth when I ask him and always try


    hard to muddle through." Seth turning round leaned on the chair behind him and said slowly, "I hear


    you were injured a while ago. What''s going on then?"


    Natalie was stumped for a moment.


    "Tell me, is it because Kendrick treats you badly?"


    He had been at the top for a long time. Although he asked without showing his emotions, she could still


    feel a great sense of oppression.


    "It was my fault." Natalie admitted her mistake decisively.


    "Oh?" Seth raised his eyebrows, "Tell me how then?"


    "I was careless in making friends and I couldn''t recognize people clearly." Natalie looked up to meet


    Seth''s gaze, without avoiding his eyes, "My friend did something illegal, but I was fettered by our years


    of friendship. I wanted to give him a way out, and had an argument with Kendrick, during which I hurt


    myself identally." She spoke clearly and logically, "But I''vee round. I will ept Kendrick''s way


    of dealing with it, and no longer have objections."


    After a pause, she added, "Since I marry into the Ramsey family, I should give priority to seeing things


    from the perspective of the family and Kendrick."


    Probably, Seth didn''t really care whether she was injured or not.


    Instead, what he cared about was that whether what she had done would harm the interests of the


    family.


    Sure enough.


    After she said so, he rxed a little.


    "What about getting along with Kendrick? Is it all right?" Now Seth asked like a grandfather who really


    cared about his grandson, "Kendrick suffered from misfortune since he was a child, and had not been


    so mobile. Therefore, he is a very private person and doesn''t like to talk much. Just be more tolerant of


    him."


    "Although Kendrick doesn''t like to talk, he takes care of me very much." Natalie said honestly, "He is


    nice, sincere and gentle, having a sense of responsibility."


    "It''s good for you to think so." Seth wanted to sit up straight, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his


    heart. He stood up with his face bing grey immediately. With his hands putting on the table, he


    wanted to call someone, but just fell to the ground instead.

 Chapter 17 A Slap in the Face

    Chapter 17 A p in the Face


    Chapter 17 A p in the Face


    Natalie immediately bounced off the chair.


    It was estimated that Seth was old and suffered from a weak heart, so he had a sudden shock.


    Natalie reached out to test whether Mr. Seth was still breathing.


    Fortunately, Mr. Seth was breathing.


    Then Natalie reached out to touch Mr. Seth''s carotid artery.


    Ten secondster, Natalie found that Mr. Seth''s carotid artery was not pulsating.


    It was a cardiac arrest.


    Natalie promptly pressed her fists on Seth''s lower median sternum quickly and firmly.


    After onepression, Mr. Seth''s carotid artery was still not beating.


    Natalie punched again.


    There was still no beating.


    When Natalie did it the third time, the door suddenly opened.


    A sharp female voice sounded, "What are you doing?"


    Natalie had no time to tell who it was because she was concentrating on cardiopulmonary resuscitation


    and could not be disturbed by any sound.


    "Get her out of here, Brett. Get her out of here now."


    One hand stretched out to grab Natalie''s wrist which was about to press again for cardiopulmonary


    resuscitation.


    That hand grasped Natalie''s wrist with great force.


    Natalie felt that her bones would crack in pain.


    "Let me go!" Natalie turned to re at the person who was pulling her wrist, "Let me go right now if you


    don''t want your grandpa to die."


    As soon as Brett got home, he heard something from upstairs, so he quickly went upstairs to see what


    happened.


    At this moment, Natalie''s re filled Brett with dread, so he involuntarily loosened his grip and let her


    go.


    Natalie quickly reached to test whether Mr. Seth''s carotid artery was pulsating.


    Great to feel Mr. Seth''s carotid artery was beating.


    Natalie took a long sigh of relief immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Don''t move Seth''s body, or


    you''ll be responsible for the consequences."


    Then Natalie checked Seth''s pupils and found that they had shrank a little.


    The color of Seth''s lips and nails also slowly returned to normal.


    Two family emergency doctors arrived quickly. They tested Seth''s heartbeat and pulse and determined


    that he was not in any serious condition. At this time, Seth had regained consciousness, so the doctors


    quickly transported him to the spacious ce in his bedroom.


    Natalie had intended to follow the doctors to know more about Seth''s health.


    As soon as Natalie stood up, she was blocked.


    Then a sharp palm wind came over Natalie''s ear.


    Natalie was pped hard in the face.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie was highly strung and she did not even have time to react. In addition, her legs and feet were


    numb after squatting for a long time. Her face was turned aside by the p, and she barely stood firm


    with her hands on the table.


    Natalie''s ears were buzzing.


    There was blood in Natalie''s mouth.


    "Natalie, what did you say to my father to make him suddenly faint."


    Nancy raised her hand again in a rage.


    "Stop it!"


    Kendrick had heard the clear sound of the p outside, and he clenched the arms of his wheelchair.


    This was the first time he hated his inability to walk.


    Nancy''s husband was afraid it was hard to wind this matter up, so he hurriedly hugged her to calm her


    down after hearing Kendrick''s voice.


    "How can I calm down? My father is in aa. How can you ask me to calm down?" Nancy was so


    angry that she stamped her feet. Natalie''s contradiction which made Nancy lose face had already


    made Nancy extremely angry, and she even lost control to p Natalie in her face.


    Natalie raised to look at Nancy calmly, "I didn''t say anything else. We justmunicated normally.


    Grandpa fainted because of sudden shock caused by cardiac inefficiency and insufficient blood supply


    in his old age. I have given him first aid, and there is nothing serious about it. He''ll wake up soon."


    At this time, Natalie kept calm because she had to exin at this very moment.


    The sound of the wheelchair came from far and near.


    When Natalie finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand being held. She turned around and found it


    was Kendrick.


    Kendrick''s eyes were ratherplicated, hidden in the ck eyes were anger, distress, and regret.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick with a smile. She shook her head and said, "I''m fine, Grandpa should be


    awake."


    "Just sit down, Nat. Maggie, go get some ice packs."


    Maggie immediately turned to go downstairs.


    After a while, the housekeeper came to inform them that Mr. Seth was okay at this time, and he was


    very grateful to Mrs. Ramsey for giving him first aid properly. If Mrs. Ramsey gave Mr. Seth first aid a


    few minutester, he might be dead.


    Kendrick frowned and asked, "Is grandpa alright?"


    "Mr. Seth is not in danger for the time being. He just needs to rest."


    "Great!"


    Kendrick''s words made other people feel scared inexplicably.


    Maggie took the ice pack, and she heard Kendrick say politely, "Maggie, close the door, please."


    Hearing this, Maggie''s heartbeat doubled immediately, and she had a premonition that something


    would happen.


    Kendrick took the ice pack, and said to Natalie in a gentle voice, "Your face needs to apply ice."


    The moment the ice pack touched Natalie''s face, she hissed in pain.


    A tear fell on the back of Kendrick''s hand.


    Kendrick frowned instantly.


    Kendrick asked Natalie to hold the ice pack first, then he slowly turned around and said, "It''s clear that


    grandpa suffered a sudden shock, which has nothing to do with Nat. The doctor also said that her


    proper first aid saved grandpa from danger."


    Kendrick stared at Brett, and then pressed his brows. His voice sounded a little tired, "Those who


    misunderstood Natalie should apologize to her now."


    Kendrick''s eyes were fixed on Brett.


    Brett stood there hesitating for a while.


    To apologize?


    Everyone knew that Brett was famous for his bad temper, and he could not apologize to others.


    However, at this moment, Kendrick acted like he would not stop until Brett apologized to Natalie.


    Brett thought that it might be because Natalie was Kendrick''s newly married wife, so Kendrick loved her


    very much.


    A great man knew when to yield and when not. Although Brett has a bad temper, he was not a man


    who could not tell right from wrong.


    Therefore, Brett took a deep breath and decided to apologize to Natalie. He stepped forward and said


    sincerely, "Nat, I''m sorry that I offended you under the anxiety. Forgive me, please."


    Brett was Mr. Seth''s eldest grandson.


    No one in the Ramsey''s mansion dared to make him lose face.


    The one who dared to make him apologize - was Kendrick who looked gentle but was powerful.


    "I ept your apology," Natalie replied.


    Outwardly, Natalie seemed to forgive Brett, but in fact, she epted his apology because he was Brett,


    or she must give him hell because he almost crushed her wrist.


    After apologizing, Brett pulled Maggie out.


    Maggie refused to leave because she wanted to watch what would happen next, but she was dragged


    out by Brett with a re.


    Nancy was, of course, unlikely to apologize, and she hated her husband for stopping her from pping


    Natalie in the face twice.


    Nancy snorted coldly and also wanted to turn to leave.


    A calm but menacing male voice sounded from behind, "If you dare to step out of this door today, you''ll


    never set foot in the Ramsey''s mansion again."


    Nancy could not believe what she had heard.


    Not only Nancy but other people at the scene were shocked.


    How could Mr. Ramsey, the one who had always felt at peace with the world and kept a low profile, be


    so ruthless all of a sudden?


    Nancy turned around, and her voice changed in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Are you


    threatening me? How dare you! I am your elder, Kendrick!" Nancy spluttered with indignation, "You


    think you can control me? What if I have to go?"


    Kendrick smiled instead of being in anger, "You can try it!"


    Kendrick''s lips curled up as if he was smiling, but there was no warmth in his eyes. His eyes were like


    thin ice des directly against Nancy''s throat, which made her feel cold and painful. She lost all


    confidence instantly.


    "Nancy, just apologize to Natalie!" Her husband stepped forward to persuade her. He was in Kendrick''s


    employ. Nancy was used to being a richdy, so she did not know Kendrick''s way of doing things, but


    her husband knew.


    Kendrick''s way of doing things was like a sharp de lying across your neck without making a sound.

 Chapter 18 Kendrick Stroked Away Natalies Tears

    Chapter 18 Kendrick Stroked Away Natalie''s Tears


    Chapter 18 Kendrick Stroked Away Natalie''s Tears


    "There''s no reason for an elder to apologize to a junior. Besides, I pped her in the face because..."


    Nancy suddenly stopped talking, and raised her voice after a pause, "Isn''t it because I was worried


    about my father?"


    Kendrick also lost his patience to continue talking to Nancy. He just kept silent, and his fingers folded


    habitually.


    Natalie wanted to speak, but before she opened her mouth, Kendrick held her hand, indicating that she


    did not have to say more.


    Today, he would make Nancy lower her noble head.


    In addition, Kendrick would make Nancy realize that no matter what happened before, now andter,


    he had thest word in the Ramsey''s mansion!


    "I''m not going to apologize." Nancy was still stubborn, "There is no reason to do this. Kendrick, it''s not


    your turn to be the boss here. When father wakes up... "


    A loud p fell on Nancy''s face.


    It was her husband Chad who pped her in the face.


    After that, the man turned to bow deeply to Kendrick, "I''m sorry, I apologize to you two on behalf of


    Nancy."


    Kendrick did not speak.


    Chad kept bowing and looked very humble.


    "You''re bowing the wrong way." Kendrick said indifferently, "The person who should be apologizing to is


    over here."


    Chad straightened up and bowed again in Natalie''s direction, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Ramsey. I apologize to


    you."


    At this moment, Nancy felt numb with shock.


    Nancy could not believe that her husband dared to p her.


    Looking at Kendrick again, Nancy found he gave her a wry look as if he wasughing at her.


    As for Natalie, she also looked a little dazed. She did not seem to understand why Chad suddenly


    pped Nancy in the face.


    The burning sense of shame spread from the bottom of Nancy''s heart, making her head almost burst.


    She blushed with embarrassment. She gritted her teeth so hard, and then she rushed out with hatred.


    Seeing Nancy leaving, Chad hurriedly said to Kendrick, "Nancy is very hot-tempered, I''ll go and have a


    look."


    Kendrick said nothing but turned to take an ice pack to apply to Natalie''s face.


    Chad stood there, not daring to go out without Kendrick''s consent. His forehead exuded fine beads of


    sweat, let alone his back was already soaked in sweat.


    Natalie gently tugged at Kendrick''s sleeve.


    If it went on, Natalie was afraid it was hard to wind this matter up.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    They were in the Ramsey''s mansion, not in the Quinn''s mansion. Natalie had expressed her loyalty to


    Seth just now, saying that she would consider the matter from the standpoint of the Ramsey''s mansion.


    She did not want to make a big fuss at this moment.


    Enough is enough, which was another truth Natalie knew well.


    Kendrick seemed to notice Chad at this time and then he casually hummed lightly in agreement.


    After getting Kendrick''s consent, Chad ran away immediately as if he were a pardoned man.


    Natalie recovered from the shock. She covered her face and said, "I didn''t expect Chad to do this."


    Kendrick looked calm, "Chad is in my employ, so he understands who he depends on for his life."


    Chad was not Nancy, who did not care about making money or did not understand the situation.


    It was an opportunity given by Kendrick.


    If Chad offended his wife, he could still have a way to live, and he would not die of starvation if he got


    divorced.


    However, if Chad offended Kendrick, he woulde to the end of a blind alley.


    Therefore, that p was unexpected and reasonable.


    Kendrick had vaguely guessed it, or even, this was the result he would like to see.


    A p in the face from Nancy''s husband was more humiliating, which would make her angrier than


    anyone else''s.


    Nancy was not going to swallow it in less than ten days or half a month.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick withplicated emotions.


    Kendrick was very good at cultivating poprity, but he was not as easy to get along with as he


    appeared on the surface.


    Natalie suddenly felt a little stressed.


    "It seems that the swelling has gone down a bit." Kendrick''s long, fingers brushed over Natalie''s


    cheeks, bringing her a cool touch, "I''ll ask someone to fetch some ointmentter."


    "Sure." Natalie gave Kendrick an approving nod.


    Natalie''s nerves had settled a bit, but her eyes were still misty.


    Kendrick raised to wipe away the tears from the corners of Natalie''s eyes.


    "Don''t cry," Kendrick coaxed softly, "I can assure you that you''ll get this p back at Nancy with your


    own hands one day."


    Even Kendrick himself did not realize that he had had more mood swings today than he had when he


    was in the Quinn''s mansion.


    Kendrick remained upromising in the face of his direct rtives.


    Natalie said in a hoarse voice, "I don''t want to see Nancy again. If she dares to mess around again, I''ll


    make her lose face." She paused and said, "Nancy got pped by her husband and was humiliated


    today. Will it be a disadvantage for you?"


    "Let''s see what she got," Kendrick said.


    Natalie soon realized that Kendrick was boss, so of course he had nothing to fear. She just worried too


    much.


    "Let''s go to see Grandpa."


    "Alright!"


    "Luckily, I took a first aid course at college, otherwise I''m afraid it will be very dangerous this time."


    "We are all grateful to you," Kendrick said sincerely.


    "Never mind. Saving lives is what doctors should do... " Natalie said habitually, but then she hastily


    changed her words because she felt something was wrong, "Actually, I was also very nervous at that


    time. Fortunately, Grandpa was fine."


    Fortunately, Kendrick did not ask any more questions.


    Seth hade to his senses and was in no serious condition. He had taken medicine and rested at


    this time, so it was inconvenient for Natalie to visit him.


    The emergency doctor came over to ask Natalie for some information about Seth.


    Natalie answered fluently.


    The doctor immediately praised Natalie and said that thanks to her professional first aid technique and


    quick response, Seth was saved from death.


    Natalie wished the doctor would stop praising her because her husband would be suspicious about it.


    --


    Seth was absent from the dinner, and so was Nancy.


    They heard that Nancy had driven back as fast as she could.


    So there were only Brett''s family, Kendrick, and Natalie at the table.


    The atmosphere at the table was eerily quiet. No one spoke, even Maggie, who was always talkative,


    was quiet, too.


    The incident just now made people have countlessplicated thoughts, even though they pretended


    nothing happened on the surface.


    Natalie had already applied ointment, but her hand was still too sore to hold a fork.


    The main course was steak. When it was served, Natalie could not even cut it.


    Seeing Natalie''s aggrieved appearance, Kendrick cut up his steak and handed it to her, saying, "Eat


    this." He nced at her hand and asked, "Can you move your hand?"


    His voice interrupted the silence at the dining table.


    Natalie suddenly felt people''s eyes fall on her face at the same time.


    Maggie did not believe that Nat would ask Ken to help her to eat!


    Brett thought Ken would probably not make trouble for him again because he had apologized to Nat!


    Natalie shook her left hand and said, "This hand is fine. I can eat with it."


    There were many people here, so Natalie was shy to let Kendrick help her to eat.


    If it was just Natalie and Kendrick eating here, she would turn the charm on him and ask him to do this.


    But there were so many people.


    Just forget it.


    --


    After dinner, Grace said that the room had been cleaned up, and the clothes for Mr. Ramsey and Mrs.


    Ramsey had been prepared.


    Kendrick nodded and exined to Natalie, "We have to stay for one night in case grandpa has an


    emergency."


    "Sure," Natalie said in agreement, "I''ll run a bath for you."


    "Wait a minute, I have something to do now."


    Natalie thought Kendrick was going to be busy with thepany affairs, but just as she nodded, she


    heard him say, "Didn''t you want to see the koi fish?"


    Natalie had forgotten it herself, but Kendrick still remembered it.


    "Ask the kitchen staff to get you some fish food," Kendrick instructed, "and spray some mosquito


    spray."


    When Kendrick and Natalie left the hall for the rockery, Maggie sat on the sofa and said to Brett, "Ken


    is scarier than you when he gets angry. I heard that he forced Nancy to apologize, but she refused, and


    then Chad pped her in the face to make amends to Nat. It was unprecedented for Chad to do this."

 Chapter 19 It Must be Because I am Sweet

    Chapter 19 It Must be Because I am Sweet


    Chapter 19 It Must be Because I am Sweet


    Brett was still frightened, "I haven''te home for more than one year, so I didn''t recognize Natalie at


    all at that time. Nancy asked me to drag Natalie out of that room, and I did it. Thank God it didn''t go too


    far."


    Maggie touched her chin and said, "Nat came back different from what she was before today, it''s


    probably because someone backed her up so she spoke confidently."


    Brett had been serving overseas before and had not seen Natalie in person, only in pictures. Today, he


    met her for the first time and was scolded by her. Her eyes were like knives wishing to cut him into


    pieces at that time.


    Did Ken like Natalie''s character?


    Brett thought for a while and said, "Mind and behave yourself. Don''t offend Ken."


    "No," Maggie''s face showed that Brett was a fool, "don''t offend Nat, Brett."


    Brett was speechless, but then he thought it seemed to be right.


    Brett stood up and said, "I have other duties tonight, so I can''t stay longer. I''ll leave in a while after


    seeing Grandpa."


    "Alright. I''ll also read the script for a while."


    --


    Natalie threw the fish food in the wooden bowl into the pond, and a group of koi fish suddenly


    scrambled for food.


    Then Natalie sped her hands together and prayed silently.


    When Natalie opened her eyes, Kendrick asked, "Are you making a wish?"


    "Yeah." Natalie nodded, "It''s said that koi fish will bring good luck. I saw so many beautiful koi fish at


    once, which means something good will happen soon."


    Kendrick looked at Natalie with a smile.


    "You can make a wish, too." Seeing Kendrick smiling, Natalie quickly proposed.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''ve seen these koi fish in the pond since I was a child." Kendrick said, "Making wishes doesn''t work


    for me."


    Kendrick only believed that he had control over his destiny.


    Kendrick believed that man would conquer nature. In the game with nature, he wanted to win by half a


    piece.


    However, Kendrick still closed his eyes.


    Natalie did not know if Kendrick had made a wish. She guessed that he was probably fooling her.


    Natalie squatted down and put her hand on the arms of Kendrick''s wheelchair. Then she suddenly


    blinked and asked, "Do you believe in fate?"


    Seeing that Kendrick was confused, Natalie added, "There are some predestined things, such as the


    encounter of two people."


    Kendrick''s expression told Natalie that he did not believe in fate very much.


    "Well, do you believe in the existence of parallel worlds?" Natalie said, "There''s another world beyond


    this one."


    Kendrick stopped Natalie and said, "This may be better understood by discussing with professors of


    quantum physics. I have a professor friend, I can rmend him to you."


    "Oh, no, thanks. I just suddenly thought of it and said it casually," Natalie exined with an awkward


    smile.


    Kendrick probably could not understand it for a while when Natalie mentioned it suddenly.


    After all, the scientificmunity had not yet reached aplete and systematic conclusion on this.


    "Let''s go back! There are too many mosquitoes here!"


    "Are you attacked by mosquitoes?"


    "Yeah, they only bite me!" Natalie mumbled, "It must be because I''m sweet and my blood tasted


    delicious."


    A breeze was blowing in the moonlight. Kendrick chuckled, which made the stars and the moon lose


    their color, and made them not as dazzling as him at this moment.


    --


    Kendrick''s bedroom in the Ramsey''s mansion was cleaned up, and both his and Natalie''s clothes were


    also arranged and ced at the end of the bed.


    When Natalie apanied Kendrick through the living room, Maggie stopped her.


    "Nat, could you help me choose the script?" Maggie asked, "I heard that you''ve taken the course in


    literature appreciation, so I want to hear your opinion."


    Hearing this, Natalie was confused, and she doubted whether she had ever taken the course.


    Oh, that was the major that the original owner of this body dropped out of after two years.


    "No problem!" Natalie replied directly.


    Maggie hurriedly put her arms around Natalie and said to Kendrick, "Ken, I''ll take Nat away, and return


    her to youter."


    Kendrick agreed with a nod, "I''ll go up first."


    Maggie pulled Natalie to the sofa and sat down. Then she pointed to a pile of manuscripts in front of


    her and said, "My agent rmended me several ones, but none of them were particrly


    satisfactory."


    Natalie picked up a script at random and flipped through it. It was so boring that made her almost fall


    asleep.


    What a bad script!


    Did the scriptwriter write it carefully?


    Maggie''s agent should be fired immediately for rmending this kind of script to her.


    Natalie had to think about what the story was in the original novel.


    At first, Maggie starred in a few bad TV ys because of negative encounters. She had an acting


    method, but her looks in the TV ys were weird, and the plots were not schematic at all. In addition,


    she came from a good family. For these reasons, she suffered lots of online criticism and catty


    It was not untilter that she identally starred in a low-budget costume drama that had been shelved


    for two years, in which she yed the role of the supporting actress, a subjugated princess who


    refused to have romantic rtionships but was intent on revenge.


    The still of Maggie''s smile and looking back with blood on her face in a red wedding dress went viral on


    the Inte in an instant.


    Since then, Maggie had made a turnaround.


    What was the name of that y?


    It was called The Fallen Empire!


    The costume drama was about the twin princesses of a fallen empire. The elder sister was Kaley


    Dillon, and the younger one was Kathy Dillon.


    The elder sister, Kaley, was devoted to revenge. She hid behind a false identity and practiced martial


    arts hard from childhood. She ran around with the royal princes to gather information for revenge, but


    finally failed in revenge and fell from the gate tower through thousands of arrows.


    Kaley dressed in red, falling in the wind.


    The younger sister, Kathy, was sent to the pce at an early age. She cooked well, which sessfully


    attracted the prince who was picky about things. They both like to wander around the pce instead of


    cooking or studying. Then they met and fell in love with each other. Kathy, who finally knew her true


    identity, decided to put aside her hatred and live with the prince.


    It was just such a script that was not too brilliant.


    It was probably because the heroine was too silly and innocent, so the TV viewers preferred the


    The TV drama was a hit.


    Its spinoff shows were exceptionally powerful.


    With these memoriesing into Natalie''s mind, she immediately sat up straight and nced at the


    script on the table. Unexpectedly, she saw the script of The Fallen Empire!


    No matter how calm Natalie was, she could not control her emotions at this moment.


    This script, which was supposed to appear two yearster, unexpectedly appeared in front of Maggie at


    this time.


    Indeed, Maggie had mentioned that she missed this script back then.


    If it were not for the fact that there was no script to shoot, she would not havemitted herself to


    being the female costar.


    Natalie picked up the script of The Fallen Empire, nced at the outline of the story, and then handed it


    to Maggie in earnest.


    Don''t hesitate, that was it.


    Maggie hesitated to take over the script. Seeing the determined look on Natalie''s face, she hesitated


    for a moment and said, "I''ve read it, but I don''t think the heroine will be popr with the TV viewers


    because she''s a little bit hopeless romantic. Besides, the investors are not sure yet, so it''s still unknown


    when it will start shooting."


    Natalie was surprised at what Maggie said.


    Come on, Maggie, you will also be a hopeless romantic when you fell in love in the future, okay?


    Natalie thought. The man who had a deep love also agreed to have a sham marriage with you, and


    hurt you for the sake of the woman he liked. He abandoned you for profit, which caused you to have a


    miscarriage. Although he was aplete love rat, didn''t you forgive him in the end? Natalie thought.


    "Girls were always hopeless romantic when they''re in love." Natalie smiled and said, "I think the


    supporting actress is vivid and substantial, which is more suitable for you."


    "The supporting actress?"


    "Well, it will be easier to attract the TV viewers and be loved by them forever."


    Maggie nodded, "I''ll have a look."


    Natalie pressed her lips and said, "I''m just giving you a reference. It''s up to you whether you choose


    this script or not."


    Natalie knew that the story of the original book had its trajectory.


    As the original heroine, Maggie must have main character privilege, especially in her career.


    Natalie hoped Maggie''s character privilege never disappeared.


    If the filming n for this costume drama could be finalized, Natalie nned to invest in part of it


    herself.

 Chapter 20 Sleep on A Bed Together

    Chapter 20 Sleep on A Bed Together


    Chapter 20 Sleep on a Bed for the First Time


    Maggie referred to her opinion and analyzed it carefully. It was true that it was a good role for her. After


    all, she was a little-known actress and did not want to rely on her family.


    Natalie stood up. "I''ll go upstairs."


    "Okay, thank you, Nat."


    Natalie thought, ¡°You''re wee. You can help me a lot.¡±


    When she opened the door, Kendrick had already washed up and was on the bed, working with his


    tablet.


    After closing the door, Natalie suddenly remembered something.  Did they two have to sleep in a bed


    tonight?


    It seemed that there was no other ce to sleep.


    Natalie took her clothes and went into the bathroom. She stayed inside for nearly an hour and dried her


    hair before she came out.


    She walked to the dressing table, applied skin lotion on her face, and then used eye cream.


    Anti-wrinkle around the eyes started from a young age.


    Kendrick nced at her curiously.


    He thought, ¡°Does she have to spend an hour taking a shower and twenty minutes applying lotion?¡±


    In the end, Natalie couldn''t drag on any longer. She pursed her lips, walked to the other side silently,


    and climbed onto the bed.


    The bed was so big they could barely touch each other. But she was still nervous.


    When she got into bed, she met Kendrick''s eyes. They tacitly did not speak.


    "I..." Natalie took a deep breath, "I don''t have any bad sleeping habits."


    ¡°God, what am I talking about? It sounds as if I want to sleep with him.¡± Natalie thought to herself.


    Kendrick put down his tablet and asked, "Is your face any better?"


    Natalie nodded. "The swelling has gone down."


    "How about your hand?"


    "It still hurts."


    Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door.


    Natalie jumped off the bed to open the door. A servant brought a bag and told her that Brett had


    something to do and left and the bag was an apology gift.


    Natalie said thank you, picked up the bag, and looked at it. There were some ointments and fruits in it.


    She went to the bed and sat down and said, "Ointments and fruit from Brett."


    She didn''t look at the ointment, unwrapped the fruit basket, forked a piece, and raised it to his lips. "Eat


    one."


    ¡°I brushed my teeth."


    "Oh, okay." Natalie picked it up and put it in her mouth, "This melon looks very sweet. I can''t keep it


    until tomorrow."


    She swallowed the melon and said, "Brett is very irritable. He almost crushed my wrist."


    "His temper has always been like this." Kendrick said, "He¡¯s not a bad person." Especially after he had


    a rtionship breakdown two years ago, Brett¡¯s temper became even worse.


    It is said that he was dumped by a woman who yed him for a fool.


    "He''s your brother and sent you ointment and fruit for an apology. You can let it go now," she said


    magnanimously.


    "Turn your face around." Kendrick took the ointment, unscrewed the cap, dipped it in with a cotton


    swab, and applied the ointment.


    The breaths of the two intertwined. She could even feel his breath lingering on her cheek.


    Kendrick lowered his eyes, poured oil in his hand, and wiped it around her wrist. "Okay."


    "Thank you." Natalie pursed her lips. "You protected me today." Honestly, when Natalie saw Kendrick


    threaten his sister, she couldn''t help but think him hot! So hot that she felt her legs weak.


    "When she ps you, she ps me in the face."


    Natalie thought, ¡°Can you put it less crudely?"


    ¡°Is that the only reason?" Natalie asked. Kendrick raised his eyebrows slightly.


    "When I was bullied, you also felt bad!" Natalie continued. Kendrick remained silent.


    "Don''t deny it. I saw the painful look in your eyes."


    Natalie leaned closer, bing more and more bold. "Is it difficult for you to admit it? Just say yes!"


    "...Yes!" Surprisingly, he actually admitted it.


    Suddenly, her face and wrists didn''t hurt anymore. She leaned closer and said, "Actually, I was super


    angry at first. But when you came over, I didn¡¯t feel angry anymore." For some reason, she was


    confident that Kendrick would always protect her.


    "It happened suddenly today. I¡¯m sorry that I camete."


    "It¡¯s okay." Natalie said, "But if I failed to save grandpa, it will be horrible. Thinking about it now, I still


    feel a little scared."


    ¡°The doctor praised you for your professional first aid skills!"


    "I learned it before." Natalie admitted directly, "I know medicine." Her eyes shone. "I said that I could


    give you a massage. I was not bragging. If your legs are properly massaged and stimted, they can


    recover."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    But Kendrick''s eyes looked dull. "When I was ten years old, the doctor informed me that I won¡¯t stand


    up in my life."


    ¡°That is because the medical technology in this world is not developed.¡± Natalie thought.


    She put her hands on his knees. "Don¡¯t say such pessimistic words. They may be cured if the medicine


    is more developed in the future. With the rapid development of science and technology, things that


    seemed impossible are happening now. People living twenty years ago couldn''t predict what would


    happen in the future. Unimaginable things that are trapped in the inherent thinking will be


    reasonable once we go beyond limits."


    Kendrick stared at her, finding how smart the woman was.


    If a woman was only beautiful, a man would take a second look at her.


    But if she was pretty, smart, and thoughtful, a man couldn¡¯t help but want to get to know her better, and


    even fell in love with her.


    Natalie moved her hands to check his legs and found that he lost all feeling in his legs.


    She thought, ¡°Massage isn''t enough anymore. They need acupuncture and surgery to promote the


    production of bone marrow neural stem cells. Only then can he stand up again."


    ¡°Your hand hurts. Don''t move." Kendrick stopped her and said in a calm voice, "It''ste. Go to bed!"


    Natalie was sweating slightly, feeling thirsty. She picked up the cup, raised her head, and drank boldly.


    The slender jawline drew a delicate arc in the air.


    Kendrick felt that his lips were a little dry.


    She put down the cup and saw a square box with a fruit pattern on it. The box must be chewing gum.


    She picked it up and asked, "Chewing gum. Why do you put it here?"


    Kendrick''s eyes were sharp, and he could tell what it was at a nce.


    Before he could say something, Natalie had already opened it.


    Soon she realized that it was not chewing gum and flushed. She hurriedly stuffed the box back. Her


    face was burning, and she could hardly think.


    After a long silence, she stuttered, "Let¡¯s...sleep!"


    She raised her hand to turn off the light, and slowly calmed down in the dark. The two breathed silently,


    and neither of them fell asleep immediately, but they didn¡¯t speak.


    "Natalie Quinn!" After a while, Kendrick''s voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room. He was calling her


    full name. It was not expected to be good.


    "What''s it?"


    "I might..." After a pause, Kendrick spoke in a hesitant voice. His tone was not as sharp and decisive as


    usual. "I can''t give you normal sex life."

 Chapter 21 I Will Make Money Beget Money

    Chapter 21 I Will Make Money Beget Money


    Chapter 21 I Will Make Money Beget Money


    Natalie had been single for more than 20 years.


    Herst hand-holding with someone of the opposite sex dated back to kindergarten, not to mention any


    close contact.


    However, she was now lying in the same bed with a man.


    A man who had said something that made her spend time thinking about it and feel shy about it


    afterwards.


    She wanted to pretend that she had fallen asleep, but that was impossible.


    She could only regret what she had said.


    Natalie took a deep breath and quickly organized the appropriate words in her brain.


    "I...I don''t mind." She blushed and took a few more deep breaths to calm herself down. "I haven''t


    thought about that. I just want to take good care of you and do my duty to you. I used to be muddled,


    but now I''m not the same as before. Today I promised Grandpa that I would be with you and support


    you at any time."


    "You haven''t thought about that now, then in the future..."


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    A perfumed hand was stretched out to cover Kendrick''s mouth and prevent him from saying more.


    Kendrick felt helpless.


    "We''ll talk about the future in the future. Let''s live in the present now," said Natalie frankly, her eyes


    sparkling.


    She believed that it was possible for Kendrick''s legs to recover in the future.


    Afraid that Kendrick would say something difficult for her to answer, Natalie hurriedly changed the topic,


    "Maggie asked me to choose a script for her today, and I chose a role that is very suitable for her. It will


    definitely be a hit drama."


    Kendrick said with a smile, "Maggie has aspired to join the movie and television industry since


    childhood to be an international movie queen. I don''t know if I can witness that moment in my


    lifetime."


    "Of course you can," said Natalie firmly.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "If Maggie could not be a movie queen, the world settings would all


    copse."


    "What about you? What do you want to do?" Kendrick suddenly asked her in a gentle voice.


    Natalie answered him in her heart, "I want to be a couch potato and ride someone else''s coattails.


    In my former life as a medical drudge, I was really busy from early tote. My talent and the lofty ideal


    of saving the dead and the wounded set me on this path.


    However, since I''ve made a new start, I naturally don''t want to repeat the old path.


    Life should be more colorful.


    I can use my prophetic knowledge of investment in this world to be an investor."


    Although she thought so, Natalie said to Kendrick, "I want to take care of you."


    She wanted to be with Kendrick all the time, to tease and amuse him.


    Her wish was simple and in.


    Her clear voice buckled gently over Kendrick''s heart, creating a string of notes. Kendrick gently said,


    "Anything else apart from that?"


    Natalie thought for a moment and said, "I read Maggie''s script today, and I think it is of great


    Kendrick said calmly, "All the films she has yed a role in since her debut have lost money. At first,


    investors will invest in her for the sake of the face of the Ramsey family. However, as time goes by,


    unless those investors want to legalize illegal funds, there will not be many people who will do charity


    all the time."


    Kendrick''s words were mean.


    However, he was telling the truth.


    Maggie made a low-key debut because she didn''t want to rely on her family.


    Even so, as her brother, Kendrick still secretly gave her a hand. The loss, however, was too great, and


    if it continued so, Kendrick would not be able to ount for it to the board.


    "It''s different this time. With mymercial sense and my appreciation of art and literature, I''m sure


    that this drama will be a hit," said Natalie.


    "So?" Kendrick raised his eyebrows.


    "I want to invest in it!"


    "What about the funds?"


    "You gave me a bank cardst time, did you forget?" Natalieughed.


    "That''s for your daily living expenses," said Kendrick.


    Kendrick thought the money in that bank card would cover Natalie''s expenses for a while.


    "That''s enough." Natalie pursed her lips. "I will make money beget money." She was confident and


    generous. "When I be rich, I will pay you back immediately."


    After she got the bank card from Kendrick, Natalie set aside some money to pay for thewyer''s fees.


    Then she quickly opened an ount and used the rest of the money to buy technology, medical


    cosmetology, and biology stocks. The rise of these stocks was gratifying, and Natalie decided to sell


    them all out at the right time, so that the capital could be tenfold. She estimated that there would be 1


    million dors in the tax withholding ount.


    The general setting of this world was about ten years behind that of her world.


    Natalie had read enough to know that economic trends would not deviate in general.


    Therefore, she bought stocks in the technology sector with confidence and without worry.


    Seeing that Kendrick didn''t speak, Natalie hurriedly said, "I will only use legal means. Don''t worry! But I


    have to keep it a secret for the time being."


    Kendrick didn''t ask further.


    Natalie approached him again and said, "Why don''t you seem to be curious at all?"


    Kendrick said casually, "You opened an ount in Honest Securities."


    Natalie was surprised. "How do you know?"


    In order not to be noticed, Natalie deliberately avoided the financial system of Ramsey Group and


    chose a less well-known securitiespany.


    Natalie thought in silence, "Is it possible that he knows everything I did?


    I originally wanted to show him the screenshot on the day of the sale, so that he would be surprised


    and envious.


    Unexpectedly, I''m still the clown in the end."


    Seeing that Natalie did not speak, Kendrick thought she was unhappy, so he exined, "Honest


    Securities is under my personal holding, so the customer manager will report to me regrly."


    He held 51% of the shares of Honest Securities through acquisitions and restructuring before the new


    year, so he had an absolute say in thispany.


    This was his investment and acquisition outside his holdings in Ramsey Group.


    Natalie couldn''t help but think, "So, everything I''ve done is still under his nose."


    "That exins why you know about that. After all, you''re not a god, right?" Natalie thought for a while


    and continued, "I analyzed the equity structure of Honest Securities before opening an ount, but I


    didn''t see your name."


    Kendrick nodded.


    He deliberately did so to avoid risk and conflict with the Ramsey Group''s financial system, while


    seeking greater benefits for himself.


    Natalie immediately stopped asking. She said, "I see. I will keep my mouth shut."


    "Let''s go to sleep. Good night!"


    "Good night~" Natalie held the pillow and closed her eyes.


    ...


    It was also Kendrick''s first time sleeping next to someone.


    It was rare that he did not hate it.


    He did not even use the essential oil to soothe his nerves and help him sleep, but he got a good night''s


    sleep.


    When he turned to his side, Kendrick could see Natalie sleeping on the other side. Her skin was fair


    and delicate, and her breath was light. She slept very quietly. Probably for fear of disturbing him, she


    unconsciously shrank into the corner of the bed. Kendrick felt that she was like a little animal huddled in


    sleep.


    Some broken hair fell on one side of her nose and moved slightly with her breath.


    Kendrick held out his hand uncontrobly, trying to brush away the wisp of hair for her.


    Natalie, however, had done it herself, pulling aside the hair that tickled her.


    Kendrick''s hand froze in the air for a moment before he withdrew it.


    Natalie didn''t know anything. She just turned over and continued to sleep.


    When she woke up, Kendrick had already finished washing and was sitting in the dining room


    downstairs.


    His movements were so light that she did not feel them at all in her sleep.


    She seemed quite used to sleeping with Kendrickst night.


    When Natalie appeared in the dining room, it seemed that everyone had arrived and was waiting for


    her. She went to Kendrick and sat down. Then she smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I''mte."


    "It''s fine," said Seth. He looked good after a night''s rest. He leaned there and said to Natalie with a kind


    smile, "Have a look at the breakfast prepared by the kitchen and see if you like it. If you want


    something else to eat, I''ll let the kitchen prepare it for you now."


    Natalie could feel that she was offered special treatment.


    She said sensibly and politely, "This is already a feast, so we don''t have to bother the kitchen.


    Grandpa, you look very good today. Would you like some porridge? I''ll serve it for you."


    "OK. I also want some hash brown," said Seth in a cheerful tone.


    Natalie instinctively said, "Grandpa, hash brown is greasy, and it is easy to cause blood sugar


    fluctuations. How about an egg?"


    As soon as she had finished speaking, everyone at the table changed their expression.


    The reason was that Seth was stubborn and did not like to listen to advice. He hated boiled eggs most


    in his life, and whoever dared to persuade him would be scolded.

 Chapter 22 Little Liar

    Chapter 22 Little Liar


    Chapter 22 Little Liar


    "Can''t I eat it?" Seth dropped his voice for a moment and muttered with a grievance, "Then I won''t eat


    it. I don''t like boiled eggs. I feel ufortable eating them."


    Although doctors had repeatedly advised him to take protein supplements, he had ignored them all.


    The youngsters in the family knew his temper well and didn''t dare to restrain him.


    The only person in the world who dared to stop Seth was Kendrick''s grandmother, who died many


    years ago. Therefore, Seth had been very free these years.


    "Indeed, it''s a little hard to swallow." Natalie agreed with him at first. Then she quickly said, "But it can


    be scrunched and put in porridge, which is more nutritious." She squinted and smiled. "Grandpa, eating


    more eggs is good for your health, making you more energetic than young boys."


    Then she shelled an egg and said, "I''ll put it in porridge for you, okay?"


    Her tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm.


    There was a toughness in her bones.


    "Fine, just do as you like." Seth gave up struggling.


    Everyone was relieved and couldn''t help looking at her with new eyes.


    They all felt that Natalie seemed to have changed a lot.


    Natalie took another egg with a calm face. She peeled half of the shell, handed it to Kendrick, and said,


    "Here you are."


    Kendrick didn''t take the egg but directly leaned his head over and took a bite.


    Seeing that, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "Hey!


    Why did you bite directly?


    I didn''t intend to feed you!"


    Maggie, sitting opposite, sipped some milk and frowned.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "I really wish I was blind!"


    ...


    Before leaving the Ramsey''s mansion, Seth gave Natalie a red envelope, saying that it was pocket


    money.


    The envelope was thin, and Natalie suspected that it was a check.


    Seth personally gave it to Natalie in private, along with some grateful words.


    It could be seen that Seth was still a little frightened.


    Natalie epted it and said, "Grandpa, just in case, you should always stay with someone. Remember


    to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor and take care of yourself."


    Seth nodded and said, "OK, I will."


    In the car, Natalie said to Kendrick in a mysterious tone, "Grandpa gave me a gift. He said he was


    grateful for my timely rescue. Guess what gift it is?"


    "A check!"


    Kendrick looked at her disappointed expression and wondered whether he should have deliberately


    guessed wrong several times to increase the interactive fun.


    Natalie took out the red envelope and drew out the check with the value of 100 thousand dors.


    Seth actually gave 100 thousand dors to her as her pocket money.


    Natalie was quite shocked.


    She carefully put it back and said, "Grandpa is really generous."


    "You saved his life. He was shot in the heart in his early years, and the bullet remained in his body.


    Trapped by the medical level back then, the bullet couldn''t be taken out. As he grows older, it has


    be a dangerous factor."


    "Has it been taken out now?"


    "The risk is too great, and no doctor dares to do the surgery."


    Natalie fell silent.


    Seth''s early years were marked by ups and downs, surviving numerous deaths and suffering numerous


    injuries.


    When he was in Norford, he shook the position of the former overlord, the Brewer family. He even


    caused many deaths of the Brewer family because of the sea business.


    Therefore, the Brewer family and the Ramsey family had a grudge.


    The plot was specially arranged in the original novel to make the male and female protagonists suffer,


    making their rtionship full of ups and downs. Factors such as family conflicts, affairs in rtionships,


    car idents, miscarriages, etc. were all present in the novel, making it a wonderful drama about


    wealthy families.


    Natalie was immersed in recalling the plots of the original novel.


    Suddenly, she felt a grip.


    She looked down and saw Kendrick reach over and squeeze a corner of her red envelope.


    Natalie clenched it subconsciously.


    Kendrick failed to pull it over and raised his eyebrows. "Who said that she would pay me back as soon


    as she got enough money?"


    Natalie pulled the envelope in her direction and said in a weak voice, "I''ll pay you back in the future,


    okay?"


    She kept blinking as she spoke, and her long, curling eyshes flickered, making her look like a deer,


    poor but lovely.


    Kendrick withdrew his hand and snorted softly. He moved his lips slightly and murmured in a low and


    almost inaudible voice, "Little liar!"


    ...


    After returning home, Natalie found Walker''s contact information in the document given by Baron.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She wrote him an anonymous e-mail describing some of the treatments for spinal nerve injuries, which


    were advanced and extremely difficult to apply. Now doctors in this world could not do this. Actually, it


    was even difficult for them to understand these methods literally.


    After sending the e-mail, Natalie put her hands together and prayed.


    She hoped that she would receive a reply from Walker.


    Not long after Natalie sent the e-mail, her mobile phone rang.


    It was the hot news of Daily Finance.


    The content was about the strategic restructuring of Ramsey Group.


    Kendrick went to the group this morning for a board meeting that was supposed to be about


    restructuring the group.


    Natalie took a moment to read the news and quickly straightened out the main point, which was that


    Kendrick was to take over the group''s hotel business, which was losing money under the leadership of


    his uncle, Melvin Ramsey.


    Even so, it could still be seen that Seth was very partial to his youngest son, who was actually not very


    sessful. He had not only given the important business of real estate but also a part of the financial


    business to Melvin to manage. It could be said that these were all easy projects that could make profits


    without doing anything.


    However, the hotel business, which belonged to the third-party service industry, often received arge


    number of customerints. It was an extremely tiring and hard job. And, it was now in a state of


    continuous loss, which would take several times of efforts to recover. The worse is that it was not a


    core profitable business of the group, so the revenue was limited no matter how great the profit was.


    Seth made this decision under the name of training Kendrick''s capacity, but in fact, Kendrick''s capacity


    could be trained in any other sector of the group.


    Natalie held her head and felt that she shouldn''t have saved Seth.


    She immediately opened the browser and typed several keywords.


    Ramsey Group had been set up for nearly 50 years and was a traditional giant enterprise. In recent


    years, it had been seeking innovation to break the situation and to keep up with the pace of the times.


    As a result, it had been constantly adjusting its organizational structure.


    The year before, Ramsey Technology was founded under the promotion of Kendrick, but it was not


    favored. Theck of manpower led to the stagnation of the project.


    However, Natalie knew that Kendrick wouldter bring the group to another peak by relying on Ramsey


    Technology.


    After all, technology was the primary productive force.


    Chip, AMP, and the semiconductor industry were the representatives of advanced and sophisticated


    technologies.


    She wondered, "Is Kendrick aware of this now?


    Maybe I can give him a reminder."


    Thinking of this, she immediately opened a document and began to write a strategic n.


    ...


    Kendrick returned at 9 p.m.


    ording to Ashlynn, Natalie had stayed in the study the whole day and hadn''te down. She didn''t


    eat dinner. Ashlynn had asked her several times, but she said she was not hungry.


    None of the food on the table had been eaten.


    Kendrick stared at it for a while and then said, "I''ll go up and have a look."


    The door of the study was not locked. He raised his hand and pushed it open. Then he heard Natalie


    say, "Wait a moment. Just leave the food there. I''ll go down and eat when I''m hungry."


    Natalie was sitting at the desk and typing on the keyboard with both hands, without raising her eyes.


    She thought it was Ashlynning up again, so she hurriedly said so.


    Then she heard a clear male voice saying, "When will it be?"


    Natalie looked up and finally found that it was Kendrick.


    Then she nced at the time and saw that it was 9 p.m.


    Natalie had been sitting in the study since she hade there at noon. She had hardly left in the


    middle except to go to the toilet. She had been writing her project n attentively.


    Therefore, she had no idea that it was already sote.


    "But I haven''t finished writing yet."


    "Continue it tomorrow. It''s already 9 p. m." His tone was casual, but his attitude was overbearing.


    "All right." Natalie had always listened to him. Her eyes rolled, and she said softly, "Then you have to


    eat with me."


    "Are you going to skip dinner if I don''te back?" asked Kendrick.

    Chapter 23 A Kiss


    "I was too concentrated on working and forgot the time," said Natalie as she thrust out her tongue.


    When she saw the tiredness on Kendrick''s face, she felt distressed. "I know you are busy today. I saw


    the news."


    As soon as she said that, Kendrick''s eyes darkened.


    Natalie pushed him downstairs and consoled him after thinking for a while, "Although the hotel


    business is a branch of the real estate industry, it is not easy to make it prosperous, especially in the


    current situation of industry saturation, which is a time to test your personal ability."


    She nced at him secretly and saw that his expression did not change much.


    Natalie realized that what she had said was useless. It didn''tfort Kendrick at all. Therefore, she


    changed the topic and said, "The poprity of theme hotels and homestays has subsided, and now


    smart hotels are emerging. If we can seize this opportunity, Ramsey Group''s hotel business may be


    able to overtake."


    Hearing this, Kendrick stared at her subconsciously.


    He thought, "This is not like what a 22-year-old girl can say.


    The height, breadth, and depth of her strategic vision surpass that of the heads of every department of


    the hotel business that I have seen today. Those people are still thinking about how to attract


    customers from marketing and service, which is notpetitive at all."


    Kendrick immediately understood that this group of good-for-nothings was the reason why Ramsey


    Group''s hotels had been losing money for years.


    He had been putting up with it at the meeting, but on the way back, he had wanted to dismiss all these


    executives a thousand times.


    "Well, I just said it casually," said Natalie in a reserved tone.


    "I agree with your words. Is there a specific n?" said Kendrick.


    "I''m still working on it."


    Natalie hadn''tpleted her project n yet.


    The two of them came to the dining room and sat down. Natalie frowned and said, "The problem now is


    not the future development direction of Ramsey Hotel, but whether you can transfer from the familiar


    financial business that has already been established, and whether there are avable experienced


    people to help you promote the implementation. If not, all the ns are castles in the air."


    She hit the bullseye and pointed out the current problem.


    Kendrick pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "If we want to promote a new business, but


    there is no one avable around, the only way is..."


    "M&A!"


    The two spoke in unison.


    Kendrick''s eyebrows, which had been wrinkling all the time, finally rxed. He looked at Natalie deeply


    and said, "You really have a good vision of strategic investment!"


    He used an affirmative sentence.


    Hearing that, Natalie was very happy.


    Although Natalie was a doctor of medicine, she also had a minor degree in marketing during her


    undergraduate course.


    She also engaged in financial management and investment in private.


    With talent and hard work, she had spent most of her time reading.


    Therefore, she was young, but she knew more than ordinary people.


    "I''ve been studying in-depth on this recently."


    "Really?" Kendrick raised his eyebrows.


    "Yes!" Natalie nodded. "I even bought a lot of books to read. Let''s have dinner. I''m hungry."


    After dinner, the two of them said good night to each other at the door.


    Natalie squatted down, put her hands on the wheelchair, titled her head, and looked at Kendrick with a


    smile.


    Kendrick asked, "What''s wrong?"


    He thought there was something on his face.


    "If you are satisfied with my finished project n, what will you pay me?"


    Kendrick realized that Natalie was iming benefits.


    "I will pay you twice the market price of the consultingpany."


    It was indeed a huge sum of money.


    Natalie, however, was no longer short of money.


    "I don''t want this." Natalie squinted and smiled, and Kendrick thought her smile was a little wicked.


    He thought, "Why does she not want money?


    Then what does she want?"


    "It''s too early to say it now." Natalie smiled. "I''m sure it won''t embarrass you."


    His perplexed andplicated expression pleased her. In recent days, Kendrick had rxed more in


    front of her, and his expression was more diverse.


    Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Natalie suddenly had an idea. She leaned over, kissed


    him softly on the cheek, and ran away after saying good night.


    Kendrick lost his words for a while.


    He couldn''t help but think, "This little girl!


    How could she directly run away after kissing me?


    She really has no sense of responsibility!"


    ...


    Natalie leaned her head on the pillow after taking a bath.


    She still couldn''t calm herself down.


    She felt agitated and shy, like every young girl who was in love.


    She thought, "Well, I''m not a girl anymore.


    After being single for many years, I suddenly have a husband, who is the type of man I like the most.


    He stepped out of the novel and came to me in reality.


    He is handsome, intelligent, gentle, and moderate.


    He''s a little bit cold and straightforward.


    However, apart from that, he''s perfect.


    As for his body, he is disabled.


    But so what?


    I will definitely cure him."


    Thinking of this, Natalie logged onto her mobile phone mailbox and found that Walker''sboratory had


    not replied to her yet.


    She had no friends in this world.


    Therefore, she had no one to share these joys and sorrows with.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She could only bear such emotions herself.


    That night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.


    Her mind was in a whirl. She was angry when she thought that Kendrick was transferred from the


    financial business, which he had already made some achievements in, to the marginal hotel business.


    Kendrick''s parents died, and he had only been in Ramsey Group for four years after studying abroad.


    He hadn''t built a solid foundation yet, and his uncles were all wily old birds. Seth seemed to be fair, but


    the favorite in his heart would never be Kendrick.


    Natalie felt that Seth''s training of Kendrick was more like a punishment.


    Suddenly, the word "punishment" stuck in Natalie''s mind like a nail.


    She couldn''t help but think, "Is it because he forced Nancy to apologize to me at the Ramsey''s


    mansion that day?


    I heard that Nancy made a huge fuss after she went back that day.


    And, Seth is always discriminating against rewards and punishments."


    At the thought of this, Natalie suddenly sat up from the bed, and a thinyer of sweat broke out on her


    back.


    She continued to think, "In the original novel, Kendrick did not take over the hotel business.


    That''s to say, my arrival changed his original career path."


    All Natalie''s sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She got up and washed her face, and her mind


    gradually cleared.


    She said to herself in her heart, "It''s been done, andining is useless.


    Surviving in desperate circumstances.


    Turning the table against the wind.


    That''s what I should do now."


    ...


    At three o''clock in the morning, the light in the study was dim.


    Natalie made herself a cup of very strong coffee without adding any cream or sugar.


    After she took a sip, her whole face was wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.


    She reached out, flicked the cup, and muttered, "I can only rely on you now. I feel like I''ve returned to


    the old days when I was busy writing my doctoral thesis."


    Meanwhile, she thought, "I''m now high-spirited and confident.


    All I want to do isplete the strategic n.


    It includes not only the project n of Ramsey Hotel but also the future strategic investment direction of


    Ramsey Technology and Ramsey Group.


    Hamburg''s chip, AMP, and semiconductor industries started rtivelyte, and there are now few


    that are almost on the verge of bankruptcy.


    Although it is still early now, I believe that with the breakthrough of the technological bottleneck in the


    development of science and technology, these industries will be the sunrise and the bright light in the


    If Kendrick can ride that train and control the lifeblood of technology, he will definitely be not just


    the richest man in Hamgrad, but in the entire world.


    When that timees, every word he says will make a huge wave to the whole world.


    In that case, no one will dare to satirize or criticize him."


    While Natalie was thinking and writing, the coffee in her cup was gradually emptying, and her eyelids


    were dropping uncontrobly.


    However, she hadn''t even finished writing half of the n.


    "Just a short nap," Natalie whispered to herself.


    The moment shey down on the desk, the tiredness overwhelmed her, and she fell asleep instantly.


    When she woke up the next day with a slight headache, she found herself covered with a thin nket.

 Chapter 24 Because Hes My Husband!

    Chapter 24 Because He''s My Husband!


    Chapter 24 Because He''s My Husband!


    The thin nket had a faint smell of cedar and mint, which was the fragrance of the body shampoo


    Kendrick usually used.


    Natalie wondered, "When did hee?


    I didn''t feel anything at all."


    Natalie rubbed her aching temples, turned on theputer, and found that the document had been


    saved.


    She was stunned for a moment and thought, "Wait, did he see it?


    However, it''s already seven o''clock, and he should already be in thepany now. After all, he has


    been busy coping with organizational structure changes recently."


    Natalie went downstairs after washing, and Ashlynn had just brought back her package for her. Ashlynn


    was tired and sweaty, suspecting that Natalie had bought a pile of bricks.


    "Mrs. Ramsey, I have collected your package for you."


    "Thank you. It''s heavy, just put it down. It''s all books."


    Ashlynn put the package aside and said, "Shall I open it for you?"


    "OK. Put the books on the bookshelf in my room after you open the package."


    When Ashlynn opened it, she saw some books on neurology. She looked deeply up at Natalie and felt


    that she was bing more and more mysterious.


    Natalie looked at her surprised expression and asked with a smile, "Why do you look so surprised?"


    "Well, these books look very abstruse. Do you understand medicine, Mrs. Ramsey?" asked Ashlynn in


    puzzlement.


    "Read more books on medicine, and you will also understand it."


    Natalie smiled lightly.


    "That doesn''t make sense. I can''t remember it no matter how many times I read a book."


    Natalie patted her on the shoulder. "That''s because your talent is in other fields. You are very good at


    cooking and storing, but I know nothing of all this. I even need to ask you for advice!"


    Ashlynn blinked and was deeply moved.


    She thought, "Mrs. Ramsey is so sweet and warm!"


    Natalie checked her mailbox again during breakfast and found that she still got no response, so she


    decided to send Walker another e-mail.


    As she tore off a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, her mobile phone rang.


    She got a message.


    It came from Nigel.


    As instructed, he synchronized Kendrick''s schedule for this week with her.


    Natalie bit the bread and smiled.


    She immediately took a picture of her breakfast and sent it to Kendrick.


    She also sent him a text message. [Natalie: The bread today is well-baked and tastes very delicious. I


    haven''t eaten such delicious toast for a long time.]


    Kendrick might be in a meeting now, so he didn''t reply to her.


    Then Natalie sent another message over. [Natalie: Thank you for your nket. I was too sleepyst


    night, so I directly slept in the study.]


    Still, she got no reply.


    Natalie did not send any more messages to Kendrick.


    She guessed he might be too busy right now.


    After drinking a cup of coffee, she switched her mobile phone to flight mode and went to the study to


    continue writing her project n.


    ...


    After the morning meeting, Kendrick continued to work on the documents on hisputer.


    It was not until about noon that he picked up his mobile phone and saw Natalie''s messages.


    Looking at them, he thought, "However, it''s not the time to say good morning to her anymore.


    Her messages are all the trivial things in her daily life. I even seem to see her smile in these words.


    She''s really naivety.


    She''s like the wind in spring, blowing the pink peach blossoms to bloom gradually.


    She really smiles very often recently."


    As he thought, Natalie''s smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind.


    "Mr. Ramsey!" Nigel suddenly pushed the door in and interrupted him.


    Kendrick put down his mobile phone and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Nigel ran over and reported, "The project in West Goldburg has made progress, but Mr. Wilson still


    wants to talk with you in person. I''ve checked the schedule, and you''re free at two o''clock this Sunday.


    How about meeting him in your office that day, Mr. Ramsey?"


    Kendrick nodded. "Arrange it for me then!"


    Nigel quickly recorded this itinerary on the iPad. Then he nced at Kendrick and thought, "Mr.


    Ramsey seems to be smiling faintly. Has anything good happened?


    Otherwise, he won''t be so easygoing.


    Moreover, at the regr morning meeting, even after hearing such an outrageous n, he did not get


    angry, but said gently, ''There are still some problems in the n which need to be further improved.''


    He''s really absurdly amiable.


    Yesterday, there was still secret talk of Mr. Ramsey being forced to take a hot potato this time. We all


    guessed that he would not be in a good mood for a few days.


    However, he doesn''t seem to be in a bad mood at all.


    On the contrary, he seems quite happy.


    Is he self-defeating and covering up his sadness with a smile after knowing that he can''t resist?


    If so, I really feel sad for him."


    ...


    When Natalie, who had spent the day writing the n, finally freed herself from theputer, she


    remembered that her mobile phone was still in flight mode.


    She thought, "I must have missed many messages.


    Would it be that Kendrick had replied to me, but I didn''t see it?"


    At the thought of this, Natalie immediately took out her mobile phone.


    However, she found that all the new messages were automatically sent by the system.


    The conversation between Kendrick and her remained in thest sentence she sent.


    She really couldn''t believe that Kendrick hadn''t replied to her at all.


    For a moment, she felt that she was not loved.


    Ashlynn brought her iced green bean porridge and said, "Mr. Ramsey said he woulde back for


    dinner tonight!"


    Natalie said, "Tell him not to return."


    Ashlynn panicked. "Really?"


    "Of course not." Natalie sighed and thought of something else. "Did he send you a message?"


    "I was told by Nigel."


    Hearing that, Natalie thought helplessly, "Fine!


    I''ll just take that as he was really too busy to reply to me!"


    Natalie scooped up a mouthful of green bean soup and put it in her mouth. Then she eximed, "It''s so


    delicious." She held out her thumb and said, "Ashlynn, when I finish my recent work, I want to learn to


    cook from you."


    Ashlynn said, "No problem."


    When Ashlynn turned to leave, Natalie stopped her, "Wait, are you going to prepare dinner?"


    Ashlynn turned back and nodded.


    "Yes."


    "I''m going with you." Natalie got up from theputer.


    "Have you finished your n, Mrs. Ramsey?"


    Natalie walked to Ashlynn and said, "No, just put it aside for the time being. I want to watch you cook,


    so that I can learn from you and cook for Kendrick in the future."


    "You are really nice to Mr. Ramsey."


    "Because he''s my husband!" After saying that, Natalie sighed in her heart, "Although he didn''t reply or


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    say sweet words to me, I still have to love him. After all, he''s my dear husband!"


    ...


    When Kendrick got home in the evening, he saw many exquisite dishes on the table.


    "These are all..." Natalie reached out and scratched a semicircle on the table.


    "Cooked by you?"


    "Severed by me!"


    Natalie had no intention of taking Ashlynn''s reward, but she still wanted Kendrick to know what she had


    done.


    Kendrick said, "Well, thank you."


    Natalie drew out a chair and sat down. Then she took the forks and handed him one.


    Kendrick reached out and took it, but Natalie tightened her grip and did not give it to him. She stared


    into his eyes and asked, "Why didn''t you reply to me today?"


    She was always straightforward and did not beat around the bush.


    "It was noon when I saw it," exined Kendrick.


    Natalie did not ept this exnation.


    Therefore, she still didn''t give him the fork.


    "Didn''t you say you would reply to me as soon as you saw my message?"


    "You didn''t ask me anything," said Kendrick.


    He was used to answering every question he was asked.


    It was his familiar mode ofmunication.


    It was also the mostmonmunication between him and his subordinates.


    Natalie was speechless for a while.


    Then she tentatively said, "I was sharing my feelings with you. You can also share with me the


    interesting things that happened in your daily life. For example, what did you do today?"


    "Having meetings," answered Kendrick.


    Natalie felt helpless.


    She loosened her grip and gave him the fork.


    "You should at least send me an emoji when you see my message. Of course, you can''t reply to me too


    formally or perfunctorily, or I will cklist you." Natalie turned on her mobile phone and immediately


    bombarded Kendrick with a flood of emojis. "If you don''t know what to reply to me in the future, just


    send me some emojis, proving that you have seen my message."

 Chapter 25 The Groans in the Room

    Chapter 25 The Groans in the Room


    Chapter 25 The Groans in the Room


    Looking at those emojis on his phone screen, Kendrick smiled lightly.


    Natalie took back her mobile phone contentedly and smiled at him.


    "OK," said Kendrick submissively.


    Natalie was satisfied and thought he was very obedient. She put some food into his bowl and said, "Eat


    more."


    Kendrick didn''t talk much and ate quietly.


    Natalie also quieted down. She was probably tired after setting the table. After finishing one bowl of


    rice, Natalie went to fill another. Since she was hungry, she ate without scruples or manners.


    Kendrick looked at her in silence.


    He felt that Natalie had a better appetite recently.


    After eating two bowls of rice, Natalie filled another bowl with soup. Since it was hot, she was forced to


    drink it slowly.


    "There is something on your face," said Kendrick.


    Natalie looked up. "Where is it?"


    Kendrick pointed to her cheek and said, "On your right cheek."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie directly leaned her face over and said, "I can''t see it. Help me."


    Kendrick slightly raised his slender finger and wiped the rice grains away from her face.


    Natalie''s fair face was also stained with oil. Kendrick couldn''t stand it, so he reached out and wiped her


    face with a piece of tissue.


    "Eat slowly and be careful of indigestion."


    Natalie took the opportunity to suggest, "Then I''ll push you out for a walk after dinner."


    In the past, all these things were done by Baron.


    Natalie, however, was a little dominating, and she arranged it all directly.


    Kendrick made no objection.


    ...


    The weather at the end of August was still a little hot and dry at night.


    The ce where they lived was Wonder Vi.


    The surrounding environment was excellent, and the evening wind blew away some of the heat.


    Natalie pushed him and talked all the way.


    Kendrick knew for the first time that one could say so much.


    He had always loved quiet.


    However, he didn''t feel annoyed at all at the moment.


    A group of children were blowing bubbles in the sunset, running around, and having a great time.


    As Kendrick watched them, his thoughts wandered suddenly.


    Natalie didn''t notice that. She asked, "I''ve checked the schedule, and you are free from four to six this


    Sunday. Can I make an appointment with you?"


    Kendrick did not answer.


    Natalie bent down to look at him and found him staring at the children in front.


    Kendrick snapped back to his senses and said, "Go on."


    "I said I wanted to make an appointment with you after 4:00 on Sunday. My project n can be


    "OK!"


    "Then that''s the deal!" Natalieughed and then said, "Wait for me here!"


    She walked quickly to the children, took out the chocte bar she had put in her pocket at noon, and


    exchanged it for a bubble-blowing toy.


    Natalie came back and handed the bubble water to Kendrick. Then she said, "Do you want to blow


    bubbles? Try it!"


    Kendrick had not done such a thing for years. Without any surprise, he failed on his first attempt.


    Standing aside, Natalieughed and said, "Let me teach you a way to blow big bubbles."


    After saying that, she squatted down and took his hand. "First take a deep breath, then slowly exhale,


    and finally use great strength. See? Just like this."


    A huge bubble appeared in Kendrick''s hand and flew towards the setting sun.


    "Quickly make a wish."


    Natalie had always been obsessed with making a wish on any object.


    Perhaps there were so many tests in school that she often made a wish to pass every one of them.


    Kendrick was forced to close his eyes.


    In the sun, the bubbles reflected a variety of colors. Natalie pped her hands and said, "Let me blow


    more."


    She puffed her cheeks and blew bubbles at the sunset.


    The night breeze blew gently, and Kendrick was lost in trance for a moment as he looked at her bulging


    fair side face.


    Natalie didn''t stop until she found that the bubble water was dry. Then she said, "I feel that I was taken


    advantage of just now. I gave away arge bar of chocte, but I only got half a bottle of bubble water.


    I should have given that child half of the chocte."


    Natalie didn''t think too much at that time.


    Therefore, she directly gave the child the whole bar of chocte.


    Kendrick remained silent.


    The reason was that he didn''t know what to say.


    ...


    In the evening, Natalie was lying in bed after a bath. She took out her mobile phone and found that


    Matthew had sent her a message.


    He told her the statement was finished.


    In addition, he had also gotten the medical examination report and counted the mental damage fee for


    her.


    Looking at the message, Natalie thought, "No wonder Kendrick rmended him to me.


    He''s really considerate and careful.


    I didn''t even go to the hospital, but he''s already got my medical examination report."


    Natalie, lying on the bed with her legs crossed, read the message again.


    Then she took a screenshot, drew a circle, and sent it to Matthew. After that, she sent him a message.


    [Natalie: Ten thousand is not enough. What about forty thousand?]


    Matthew was a little speechless. [Matthew: Ten thousand is reasonable.]


    [Natalie: You don''t need to be reasonable when dealing with those people. They must be unwilling to


    pay ten thousand and will definitely entangle with you, trying to reduce thepensation. Therefore,


    just ask them for forty thousand.]


    It was difficult for Natalie to ckmail the Quinn family, so she didn''t want to miss the chance.


    Her main purpose was to immediately break up with the Quinn family and say goodbye to her


    stepmother and sisters.


    Therefore, she knew that if the Quinns were entangled inpensation, they would naturally have little


    energy for pestering her.


    Matthew soon sent her the amended statement.


    Natalie read it over again in the light of themp and then asked Matthew to send it directly to


    Reuben''s office.


    [Natalie: By the way, how should I pay you the consulting fee?]


    [Matthew: Mr. Ramsey has already paid me.]


    Natalie didn''t expect that.


    She raised her eyebrows in surprise.


    She sat up straight, and Kendrick''s handsome but unsmiling face suddenly appeared in front of her


    eyes.


    She thought, "I know that Kendrick supports me in breaking up with the Quinn family.


    He even helped me a lot.


    I guess he''s determined to deal with the Quinn family.


    After all, Reuben has been ying tricks in business and stumbling Kendrick secretly, although he''s


    Kendrick''s father-inw.


    Kendrick cannot tolerate cheating and treason."


    Thinking of this, Natalie suddenly felt something was wrong.


    She said to herself in her heart, "The original host of this body also seems to have done a lot of


    cheating and backbiting.


    Kendrick never said anything about that.


    Even so, it doesn''t mean that he has noints about that.


    However, he seems to be very nice to me recently. He even defended me at the Ramsey''s mansion


    that day.


    I''d better not think too much. It''s possible that we can live together in peace, right?


    And, Kendrick may not be in the mood for love, either.


    After all, he''s devoted to his career in the original novel."


    Thinking of this, Natalie said to herself, "Does he really have no feelings for me at all?" She tilted her


    head and sighed. Then she took the neurology book she had just bought from the bedside bookshelf


    and began to read.


    After reading for some time, she carefully took out a set of gold needles which she had just obtained.


    She took one and held it in front of her eyes.


    Under the light, the tip of the needle refracted a cold ray of light.


    ...


    Kendrick woke up in the middle of the night. He nced at the time and saw that it was three o''clock in


    the morning.


    Then he thought, "Did she go to sleep?


    Or is she still in the study writing her project n?


    It''s hot at night in midsummer, and the air conditioner is on all night.


    If she sleeps on the desk again, she''ll catch a cold sooner orter."


    Kendrick turned over, thought for a moment, and turned on the light. Then he got up from the bed,


    moved to his wheelchair, and covered his legs with a thin nket. After that, he slowly pushed himself


    out.


    He needed to pass Natalie''s bedroom to get to the study.


    When he reached the door of Natalie''s bedroom, he saw that the light inside was still on. He couldn''t


    help but think, "Has she not gone to sleep yet?


    But it''s already sote."


    Kendrick approached slowly and then heard a strange sound from within.


    It sounded like a groan of pain.


    Besides that, he also heard someone sobbing in a subdued low voice.

 Chapter 26 Sitting on His Lap

    Chapter 26 Sitting on His Lap


    Chapter 26 Sitting on His Lap


    Natalie was giving herself a needle.


    Natalie''s master Easton Wright shared his experience with his disciples after treating the president''s


    legs. The first step was to stimte the nerves in the patient''s legs with ancient acupuncture to restore


    part of their stress ability.


    Ancient acupuncture had been slowly lost.


    But fortunately, there were still people who had passed on these traditions.


    Natalie specialized in modern medicine, but she also knew the broadness and profoundness of


    traditional medicine. So she begged her master Easton to teach her acupuncture.


    With Natalie''s fingers quickly touching her thigh, she burned the tip of the needle on the alcoholmp


    and punctured it at the acupuncture point.


    "Hiss..." Natalie gritted her teeth, the pain in her thigh here was intense and the nerves reacted


    violently.


    Natalie marked this ce with a red dot, took out a tissue, and quickly wiped off the overflowing blood


    spots.


    There was a knock on the door.


    Natalie was so startled that she almost knocked over the alcoholmp.


    Immediately, Natalie covered the alcohol cap and packed the needles, but identally made the book


    fall on the ground.


    Then Natalie heard a loud bang.


    The door was pushed open.


    Natalie hastily covered herself with a quilt.


    "Aren''t you sleeping yet?"


    "I''m going to sleep right away!"


    "Why are your eyes so red?"


    "I..." Natalie thought about how to answer this question quickly, then she suddenly sniffed, and her


    voice choked up, "I''m reading a novel. It''s very moving."


    Natalie kept her wits about her, which made Kendrick think that she was clever.


    Kendrick thought Natalie deserved an Oscar.


    Kendrick''s eyes narrowed slightly and suspiciously because he smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the


    air.


    Natalie hurriedly asked Kendrick, "Why didn''t you sleep? Did youe to see if I was asleep?"


    Kendrick said nothing because he did not want to be entangled by Natalie, so he looked down and said


    calmly, "Have an early night!"


    "Sure."


    After Kendrick went out, Natalie''s heart which was about to jump out slowly calmed down.


    Natalie would not bring this up with Kendrick at this time if she was notpletely sure, because she


    did not want to arouse more suspicion or give him hope but disappoint him.


    There was a burst of numbness and pain in Natalie''s knee.


    Her knee showed an obvious pain reaction.


    It also matched what Easton had said before.


    Then, in the diagnosis and treatment n, more stimtion could be added to this acupuncture point.


    ---


    Natalie woke up the next day with both numb legs.


    The moment Natalie got up, she directly knelt on the bed.


    Previously, Natalie could experiment on white mice.


    However, Natalie had to experiment on herself at this time as she was the white mouse.


    Natalie would perform the acupuncture on herself, and she was afraid that she would have to test the


    medicine on herself again in a short time.


    Natalie propped herself up on her two legs after washing and stood at the top of the stairs, but almost


    fell off. She carefully held on to the handrail before walking downstairs.


    "Ashlynn,e and help me, hurry up!"


    Ashlynn hurried over.


    "What happened to your leg?"


    Someone''s voice came from the side.


    Kendrick did not leave, he was still at home.


    Natalie turned her face away, looking surprised.


    Kendrick''s eyes rested on Natalie''s leg.


    "It''s numb," Natalie coughed.


    Natalie was lying with a guilty disguise.


    Ashlynn helped Natalie to sit down and carefully asked her if she was okay.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn''t matter. I''m just a little numb from squatting for a long


    time, and I just need rest for a while." She turned to Kendrick and asked, "Aren''t you going to work?"


    Natalie''s eyes were full of red blood.


    "No."


    "How about having breakfast together?"


    "I''ve eaten breakfast."


    It was already nine o''clock in the morning.


    Natalie silently sipped the chicken porridge.


    As Natalie sat, she felt her legs go numb.


    Those subtle pains went straight to Natalie''s head.


    Natalie''s legs hurt so much that her hand holding the spoon almost trembled.


    Kendrick was not such an easy person to fool, he was reading documents on the tablet while Natalie


    was having breakfast.


    Natalie wondered why Kendrick did not go to thepany today.


    Finally, Natalie gritted her teeth and stood up. After taking two steps, she felt that her legs were weak.


    When she stepped on the ground, it was like stepping on cotton. She could not find a center of gravity,


    and without the support of gravity, her body quickly fell to one side.


    However, Natalie was very responsive. She hurriedly put her hands on the table to steady herself, and


    in a sh, someone held her up from behind.


    Natalie let go of her hands, sitting directly on Kendrick''sp.


    Kendrick frowned tightly.


    "What''s wrong with the legs?"


    "Not the legs." Natalie quibbled, "It''s head. I feel a little dizzy."


    Then Natalie rubbed her temples and said, "Oh, I suddenly have a headache. It must be because I


    didn''t sleep well after reading the novel tootest night.


    Natalie was burying the truth.


    Natalie did not dare to meet Kendrick''s eyes until his hand covered her knee.


    Natalie wore thin clothes in summer, and when she came down, she did not expect Kendrick to be


    there, so she just came with a suspender nightgown. Through a thinyer of nightgown, she could feel


    the warmth of Kendrick''s palm.


    Kendrick must not see that Natalie''s legs were covered in blood spots from her knee up, she thought.


    Natalie bit her lip, smiling awkwardly and shyly, "It''s... not good to do this in the daytime!"


    As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Kendrick''s face turned a little cold.


    Kendrick remembered how bold Natalie had been when she offered to help him take a bath!


    With the tip of the tongue against the roof of his mouth, Kendrick said coldly, "Then why don''t you stand


    up?"


    Only then did Natalie realize that she was still sitting on Kendrick''sp.


    Natalie stood up cautiously with her hands on the table beside her and said, "I feel a little dizzy. Let me


    sit down for a while."


    When Natalie said this, her hand rested on herp unconsciously.


    It seemed that Natalie was refusing to tell Kendrick the truth.


    "What''s troubling you?" Kendrick stared at Natalie.


    "Head!" Natalie answered directly.


    "Ashlynn," Kendrick shouted, "Madam said she was dizzy, bring her some medicine."


    "OK," Ashlynn replied.


    Kendrick personally poured a ss of water, opened the pill, and handed it to Natalie''s lips, saying,


    "Take it, and then you''ll feel better."


    Natalie whimpered twice and frowned, "Must I take the pill?"


    "Or I''ll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.


    Kendrick''s gentleness and affability were all appearances, Natalie thought.


    Kendrick was sharp and strong.


    It was no problem for Natalie to take the pill. She just thought it tasted a bit bitter.


    "I''ll take it."


    Natalie quickly took the pill from Kendrick''s hand and stuffed it into her mouth. After tasting the bitter


    taste of it, she wrinkled her face with bitterness.


    A ss of water was handed to Natalie.


    Natalie raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp.


    "Have a good rest today. If you still feel ufortable, I''ll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.


    "Okay," Natalie said obediently, "I''ll go upstairs to rest!"


    After getting Kendrick''s consent, Natalie walked past him with big strides, pretending to be calm and


    brisk, and gave him a big smile.


    After Natalie left, Kendrick asked Ashlynn, "What has Natalie been doing recently?"


    "Madam has been writing ns and reading in the study recently. She bought a lot of books which I


    can''t understand the titles of them. They seem to be medical books." Ashlynn thought about it and said,


    "She also asked me to learn how to cook, saying..."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Ashlynn remained silent for a while.


    Kendrick caught the information in Ashlynn''s words in time and asked, "Medical books?"


    Ashlynn nodded, and praised Natalie in a hurry, "Madam is very smart. She can understand the


    contents of the book after reading it once. Thest time when I had an allergy on my face, she said that


    I was dehydrated, and she gave me an ointment to apply. With this ointment, I get well soon. It''s


    amazing."


    Hearing this, Kendrick''s face darkened.

    Chapter 27 Her Bank ount was Flooded with 400,000 Dors


    Ashlynnwondered why Kendrick''s face darkened. She could not figure out what her boss was thinking,


    so she did not dare to say more.


    Kendrick did not make things difficult for Ashlynn and said, "Go to do your things!"


    Finally, Kendrick called Ashlynn back and told her, "Natalieis not feeling well, take care of her, and


    inform me if anything happens."


    Kendrick raised to look into the direction of the stairs. His eyes narrowed slightly.


    Medical books were not novels. How could Natalie understood them after reading them once?


    Kendrick thought.


    --


    Natalie''s leg hurt badly, neither standing nor sitting.


    Natalie could not work while lying down. She even wanted to hang herself up.


    The work at hand had not beenpleted, and Dr. WalkerGill had not responded to her after a long


    wait. It had been a few days, and even if there was a time difference, he should have seen it long ago.


    Natalie really did not want toin about Dr. Walker''s slow work efficiency!


    Natalie ttened her legs, opened the securities app, nced at the stock price, and almost jumped out


    of bed.


    Hamgrad just passed new regtions this Monday, allowing hyaluronic acid to be added tomon


    foods.


    So the two stocks Natalie had bought in the medical and aesthetic raw material industry, Peace


    Biotechnology and Blue Bay Technology, experienced a round of skyrocketing.


    The rate of increase is as high as 100%.


    Natalie''s bank ount was flooded with 400 thousand dors.


    Natalie counted the number of zeros after that, and  did not feel the pain of her legs at this moment.


    Natalie happily took a screenshot and was going to send it to Kendrick.


    However, Natalie thought it for a moment, and realized that Kendrick might ask her to pay back the


    money immediately.


    So Natalie decided to not tell Kendrick this news.


    Natalie wanted to tell Kendrick about it when she had more money!


    The cell phone rang at this time.


    It was an unfamiliar number.


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Natalie answered, "Hello!"


    "Excuse me, Is that Natalie Quinn?"


    "Yes, it''s me."


    "This is Lamont Stone, the director and producer of The Fallen Empire. I''ve seen your private message,


    so I made this phone call. Our project is suspended, thank you for your attention, and I''m sorry to


    inform you about this."


    What... What was wrong with it?


    Natalie just nned to use the money from selling stocks to invest it!


    It was stopped?


    Nataliehad left Lamont a message before, saying that she wanted to invest, but he just thought it was


    just a small investment of several hundred thousand to get a piece of the pie. The project was ruined


    because thergest investor has withdrawn. Out of responsibility, he still phoned Natalie to inform her


    this news.


    "Are you short of funds?"


    Lamont was a little embarrassed and did not want to tell Natalie about it.


    "Tell me, how much do you need? I''ll invest it for the withdrawn part."


    Hearing the voice of this young girl, and hearing her expansive tone, Lamont  refreshed the experience


    of more than 30 years in his life.


    "1 million dors, is it enough? If not, I can invest more!"


    Hearing this, Lamont was too surprised to speak.


    "Answer me directly. Is it enough? Don''t waste time!"


    "Excuse me," Lamont hesitated and asked, "Why do you want to invest our costume drama?"


    "We''ll talk about itter." Natalie was impatient, "We can meet and talk in detail if it''s convenient. I''ll


    answer all your questions at that time. If it''s not convenient..."


    "Alright, are you in Goldburg? I''lle to visit you as soon as possible when you''re free."


    "My leg hurts and I''m resting. let''s meet on this Sunday!"


    "Okay, ording to your time."


    "Sure!"


    "Have a good rest and take care of yourself!"


    Natalie hung up the phone and calcted the money after the dividend.


    In fact, investing in film and television dramas was slow and risky.


    It took a year for a drama to go from filming to release.


    If something happens to the lead actor, it would be fetching water from a bamboo basket, and she


    couldn''t even cry.


    If Nataliehad not read the original novel, known the plot, liked the role of Kaley, and wanted to help


    Maggie take it down as soon as possible, she would never have invested in it. In doing so, Maggie


    would be saved from suffering insults from inte trollsfor two years.


    However, who did not like making money.


    With money Natalie could do what she want.


    A global neuromedical research center could be established to help many people struggling with


    diseases.


    Natalieherself could save a limited number of lives no matter how exceptional a surgeon she was.


    It would be different if many people were like her.


    --


    In the evening, as usual, Natalieput on tes.


    Natalie''s legs were much better. Although she still had a little difficulty walking but the numbness was


    no longer there.


    Kendrick did not like to talk and he was very quiet when he was eating.


    Kendrick was well-born and well-educated.


    Kendrick was always graceful and deliberate in his conduct.


    Natalie was a little weed who grew up in an orphanage, and the imprint of childhood affected her whole


    life.


    So, Natalie looked at Kendrick, and then at herself.


    Natalie stopped directly reaching out to grab the meat bones.


    When Kendrick finished eating, Natalie quickly said, "I invested in a project."


    Seeing Kendrick''s slightly narrowed eyes, Natalie immediately said, "It''s not that I don''t want to pay you


    back if I have money. I''ll never forget it. When I make a lot of money, I''ll pay it back right away."


    Kendrick asked slowly, "What project?"


    "A television drama. I have to meet the producer around two o''clock on weekends." Natalie added, "It''s


    a man."


    After finishing speaking, Natalie secretly nced at Kendrick''s face. On his face, he looked as usual,


    without any waves.


    Natalie''s best friend told her before that most male protagonists in novels were paranoid and


    possessive. He would not let other men approach the female protagonist in ten miles, because he will


    be jealous of any man and even his son.


    However,  Kendrick was a precision instrument without emotion, and there would be no moment when


    his emotions get out of control.


    "No problem!" Kendrick said, "Remember you made an appointment with me at four o''clock in the


    afternoon."


    Natalie wondered why this was the most important thing for Kendrick.


    That was the reason Kendrick was the male supporting actor!!!


    Natalie was not reconciled, and she said, "I have seen his photo. He''s quite handsome."


    Kendrick replied indifferently, "That''s why you invested millions dors in his TV drama?"


    "Of course not," Natalie immediately denied, "I took a fancy to itsmercial value. Well, how do you


    know that I invested so much money?"


    Kendrick remained silent.


    Natalie clung to him, insisting, "Tell me quickly!"


    Natalie doubted if her ount was being monitored by Kendrick.


    But Natalie thought it should not be.


    "You want to know?" Kendrick asked.


    Natalie nodded.


    Kendrickughed, but refused to tell her Natalie the truth.


    Natalie grabbed Kendrick''s hand and shook it, pleading him to tell her the truth.


    Kendrick asked, "Does the leg still hurt?"


    "No, it doesn''t hurt!" Natalie took advantage of the situation and immediately changed her words, "My


    head doesn''t hurt."


    Kendrick''s expression told Natalie that he did not believe her.


    Natalie directly stood up and said, "I''m really fine, I''ll show you if you don''t believe me."


    After speaking, she was about to untie the drawstring of her ck and gray sweatpants.


    Kendrick''s face darkened, "What are you doing?"


    "I''m taking off my pants," Natalie answered calmly, "don''t you want to see it?"


    "Stop!" Kendrick''s face became even more serious. He had never met anyone like Natalie. He grabbed


    her hand, and said in a harsh voice, "Sit down!"


    "You don''t want to see it?" Natalie asked.


    Kendrick was tricked by Natalie, so his face waspletely cold.


    Kendrick did not have much contact with women, but he remembered that the woman he had met were


    basically daughters of aristocratic families. They were dignified and reserved, polite and alienated,


    keeping themselves at a distance, and there were mostly regrets and sympathies in their eyes that


    made him ufortable.


    It was just Natalie who was explicit.


    But it was also too explicit.


    Kendrick''s ck eyes were cold. He curled up his lips and did not know what to say.


    "You sure you don''t want to see it?" Natalie blinked, "Then tell me quickly, how do you know how much


    money I invested in that project?"

 Chapter 28 You Saucy Little Minx

    Chapter 28 You Saucy Little Minx


    Chapter 28 You Saucy Little Minx


    Natalie is indeed a saucy little minx.


    If Natalie did not reach her goal, she would never give up.


    Kendrick saw that Natalie''s hands were pulling at the rope of her trousers. He was afraid that she


    would do something shocking again, and said, "You admitted it yourself. I just said it at will."


    After all, Natalie''s capital was in the range of millions.


    Natalie was speechless about Kendrick''s words and said, "I''m going to invest one million dors in it."


    "Not much." Kendrick said, "You can have a try, and if you lose money, you can practice your skills."


    Natalie smiled, and the moment she was about topliment Kendrick on his support for her, she


    heard him say the next second, "Invest at your own risk."


    Natalie''s smile froze.


    The change in Natalie''s expression was in Kendrick''s eyes.


    For some reason, Kendrick wanted to tease Natalie.


    "If you earn money this time, I''ll get one-tenth of your ie."


    Hearing this, Natalie looked at Kendrick with big eyes.


    "In your principal, I''ve contributed at least 100 thousand dors."


    "You are so cunning!" Natalie pushed Kendrick''s elbow and grumbled, "You mean that I''ll bear the risk


    of losing money and give you a share of the winnings? I''ll pay you back right now!"


    As soon as Natalie decided to return the money to Kendrick, she suddenly realized that she could not


    do so.


    Her principal would be even less if she returned the money to Kendrick, and she would not have the


    confidence to fool Lamont, Natalie thought.


    "We''re on good terms." Natalie changed her expression again, and leaned over to smile sweetly,


    "We''re all in this together. Let''s overlook it?" She poked Kendrick''s arm and said, "Don''t worry, I''m very


    generous. What''s mine is yours." She blinked at him, "Not only money but me."


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Kendrick was drinking water and choked unexpectedly when he heard Natalie''s words.


    Natalie hastily reached out and patted Kendrick on the back, "Be careful."


    Natalie manipted Kendrick temporarily.


    As long as Natalie was brave enough and spoke boldly.


    There was nothing Kendrick could do!


    --


    Lamont, thirty-five years old, graduated from the Goldburg Communication University with a master''s


    degree.


    Lamont had been obsessed with niche literary films before, with a good reputation but a bad box office.


    In recent years, Lamont had grown older and was under great pressure to support his family, so he had


    begun to develop intomercial films and television dramas.


    In particr, Lamont wanted to catch up with the trend of adapting costume novels for films and


    television dramas recently and master the particr memes for clickbait.


    This was Lamont''s information sent by Nigel ten minutes ago.


    From the picture, Lamont was a man with a stubby beard, looking a little down and out.


    Kendrick could not see how handsome Lamont was.


    With his fingers clenched into fists and resting on his lips, Kendrick''s eyes darkened a bit, and he


    flipped through Lamont''stest project description for a television drama that he was nning to shoot.


    It was a sweet idol drama in ancient costumes with a female theme.


    The plot was notplicated.


    Kendrick read a page and did not read anymore, but he endured it and flipped through it again.


    Kendrick had been in the investment world for ten years and had been involved in countless projects.


    The myth of bicycles turning into Rolls-Royce wasmon for him.


    But at this moment, Kendrick could not understand it.


    Was such a costume drama worth 1 million dors?


    Kendrick suddenly remembered that Natalie had said that Lamont was pretty handsome.


    Kendrick called Nigel directly and said, "Keep an eye on Lamont!"


    Although Nigel did not know what had happened, he still obeyed Kendrick''smand.


    Nigel also wondered why Mr. Ramsey paid attention to people in the film industry.


    Hadn''t Kendrick set foot in this circle?


    First, Kendrick thought the film industry was very chaotic. Second, he thought there was no big money


    to make.


    Kendrick''s slender fingers tapped on the table, and he said to Nigel again, "If anything untoward


    happens, don''t be polite to him."


    "Yes, sir."


    --


    Lamont felt that his luck had changed.


    Although an investor had left, another richer one came.


    Before Lamont went out, he tidied himself up deliberately, with a happy face.


    It could be judged from the phone call that the new investor was a young woman.


    However, Lamont was not sure. some old rich women also liked to speak in a pinched voice and


    pretend to be young.


    Lamont could not afford to take a taxi, so he rode a shared bicycle for an hour before arriving at the


    appointed cafe.


    The per capita consumption of this cafe in the alley was not low.


    Lamont looked at the bnce in his mobile phone, gritted his teeth, and walked in.


    Lamont saw a young girl with a ball head and a white T-shirt sitting by the window, he guessed that she


    was probably waiting for her boyfriend.


    Lamont picked up his mobile phone and made a call.


    Then Lamont heard the girl''s voiceing from the opposite, "I''m sitting in front of you!"


    Lamont looked over in surprise, walked quickly to the front, and sat down with an expression of


    disbelief.


    Natalie said with a smile, "I''m Natalie Quinn!"


    "He.. hello," Lamont stretched out his hand hesitantly, and looked around, but there was no one there.


    The shock on his face was indescribable. He thought Natalie was probably not more than twenty. Could


    it be that medical beauty technology had developed to this point recently?


    Natalie touched Lamont''s fingertips lightly and said, "Sit down, please."


    "This is the project description." After Lamont sat down, he hurriedly handed it over and said, "You can


    have a look first."


    Natalie flipped through the description and said, "I''ve roughly understood it." She took out the contract


    from her bag and handed it to Lamont, saying, "I''ll invest 1 million dors in this project and divided it


    into two investments, but I have three requirements."


    "Please tell me!"


    "First, the chief producer must be me. Second, I decide who the protagonist is. Third, dividends should


    be distributed ording to the proportion of the investment, and no other funds are allowed to be


    injected," Natalie said.


    Lamont was stunned.


    This was the first time Lamont had seen such a decisive investor.


    "I...I...but, have you...read the project description?"


    "Yes, I have."


    "Have you already... read the script?"


    "Yes."


    Lamont flipped through the contract and said, "There''s no big problem of male and female casting, but


    speaking of the supporting actress..."


    "Maggie Ramsey." Natalie said, "Only her!"


    Lamont frowned and said, "We''ve contacted her before, but she hasn''t responded yet. Herpany


    has a high vision, and it is estimated that she disdains to y our low-budget online drama."


    "Your thought is old-fashioned. Now the time has changed." Natalie pouted, and then tapped on the


    table, "Be confident, how can you say it''s low-budget? Its production cost of it is nearly 1.6 million


    dors. Which online drama has such a high cost? Be courageous. Publicize that it''s an investment of


    tens of millions!"


    "But I''m afraid that Maggie''spany won''t agree to let her y the supporting actress."


    Natalie smiled, "Adjust the propaganda script and announce that the costume drama has two


    heroines!"


    Lamont was an honest man.


    He was still hesitant, "What if there is a dispute about the ranking on the bill in the future..."


    "Maggie has no fans, so there could be no dispute." Natalie said calmly, "Wouldn''t it make the costume


    drama be streamed if it happened?"


    Lamont was speechless and he nodded, "Okay, I''ll go talk about it with herpany again."


    "This time, we''re going to use neers and cut their fees to star in the costume drama." Natalie


    said, "Maggie must be persuaded to y in it because there''s no one more suitable for this role than


    her. You got confidence?"


    "...Yes!"


    "The script will be revised again, and I have circled a few obvious bugs." Natalie put the revised script


    in front of Lamont and said, "The logic will be more consistent if you revised it this way."


    Faced with Natalie, Lamont did not know what to say. He was stunned for a while and said, "Ah, I


    haven''t ordered yet, what do you want to drink? Allow me to buy you a drink."


    Natalie asked, "Do you have money?"


    Lamont replied, "It''s okay to buy you a cup of coffee."


    Natalie watched the time and said, "No, thanks. I still have things to do. Save the money to buy milk


    powder for your daughter!" She stood up and said, "The new drama of the heroine Maggie ising


    out. Wait until then to contact herter, then we''ll have more bargaining chips."


    Lamont was totally confused, "You mean that after the new drama of Maggie''s first female lead is


    released, we''ll talk to her about the script and role of the supporting actress?"


    Hearing Lamont''s words, Natalie thought maybe there was anything wrong with his mind.

 Chapter 29 A Cup of Hot Coffee was Splashed over Her Head

    Chapter 29 A Cup of Hot Coffee was Sshed over Her Head


    Chapter 29 A Cup of Hot Coffee was Sshed over Her Head


    Natalie spoke in a confident voice, "That drama will be a flop."


    Lamont did not know why Natalie said that.


    "The costume drama is imed to have invested hundreds of millions of dors to shoot and produce,


    let alone the actor who ys with Maggie has won the title of Best actor."


    "So what?" Natalie asked, "The ratings for it are going to be miserable. Remember to do as I said, and


    don''t ask too many questions about other things."


    "Okay," Lamont replied.


    Natalie waved and said, "See you. Tell me when you make progress."


    Lamont wiped his forehead and took a long breath.


    Why did I feel a little stressed? Lamont thought.


    Wait, how did Natalie know that I had a daughter, Lamont wondered.


    Thinking of this, Lamont was sweating again on his forehead.


    --


    Natalie was picked up by Kendrick''s driver throughout the journey.


    The car stopped at the park of Ramsey Group.


    Kendrick''s office was on the 36th floor of Block A. Natalie entered the revolving door. A girl came to


    meet her with a gentle and polite attitude and high professionalism, and she kept smiling all the time,


    without any extra expression.


    The girl was Rose Harmon, a secretary of the President''s Office, and her level in thepany was two


    levels lower than that of Nigel.


    "Ma''am, wait here first, please." Rose looked at her watch, pointed to the ss door with her eyes, and


    said, "Mr. Ramsey''s meeting has just started, maybe you have to wait for a long time. Shall I show you


    around thepany?"


    Natalie arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon.


    "No, thanks," Natalie smiled and said, "but I still have something to trouble you."


    "It''s no trouble, Ma''am. What can I do for you?"


    Natalie took out the USB sh drive, handed it to Rose, and asked, "Could you print a document for


    me?"


    It was too expensive to print documents outside, so Natalie came to thepany to get the best deal.


    Rose answered, "Oh...Okay, just wait a minute."


    Natalie put her hands together and said, "Thank you!"


    Rose printed out the document for Natalie, which was more than 80 pages, packed it in a file bag, and


    brought it to Natalie with a cup of coffee.


    "Let me know if you need anything."


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Natalie said politely, "Okay, thank you very much."


    After Rose opened the door, her smiling face finally rxed. She quickly took out her phone and typed


    frantically in the chat group of her colleagues who worked in the President''s Office.


    [I saw Mrs. Ramsey! She is young, pretty, nice, and polite, and her skin is super good. She looks like a


    college student.]


    [Wow, can Ie up and bring Mrs. Ramsey a cup of coffee?]


    [No. I''ve made Mrs. Ramsey a cup of coffee, so don''t bother her.]


    [Okay~]


    ----


    Natalie put the coffee aside, took out the printed document, and made notes on it with a pen.


    The wind chime on the door rang.


    Someone came out of Kendrick''s office.


    "Go and make four cups of coffee with ice. Mine is half sugar without cream, and the others were made


    normally."


    A cold female voice sounded.


    Natalie was so focused on the document that she did not realize that the woman was speaking to her.


    "Didn''t you hear?"


    Natalie raised her head and met a cold and sullen woman''s face.


    "Are you talking to me?"


    "Is there anyone else here besides you?" The woman smiled dismissively.


    Natalie looked down again.


    "Don''t you understand what I said?"


    Natalie did not take her eyes off the document, "Do it yourself!"


    "...What did you say?" The woman sneered, frowning, "You''re fresh here? Who''s your manager?


    What''s your job number?" Finally, she said, "I don''t care who you are. That''s what your president


    means. Do it now!"


    Natalie picked her ears and thought this woman was noisy.


    There was a "click".


    The outer door was opened.


    It was Rose who came in.


    Rose bowed to the woman and asked, "Ms. Wilson, do you want some coffee? I''ll make it."


    "Let her do it!" Caitlyn Wilson pointed to Natalie who was sitting calmly.


    "Ms. Wilson, I''ll do it!" Rose looked rather embarrassed.


    Rose dared not to ask the president''s wife to make coffee.


    Caitlyn still insisted, "Why can''t she do it?"


    Natalie thought Ms. Wilson was probably a little retarded.


    Natalie stood up and asked Caitlyn with a smile, "Are you sure you want me to do it?"


    Caitlyn thought Natalie was timid, so raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Of course."


    Natalie nodded, "Okay, as long as you are not afraid of me spitting in it."


    Hearing this, Caitlyn was speechless.


    In the end, Rose went out to make coffee for Caitlyn.


    Natalie sat down again and continued to annotate the project description with a pen.


    Caitlyn stared at Natalie, and then suddenly spoke softly, "Are you Ken''s friend, why have I never seen


    you?


    After hearing Caitlyn''s words, Natalie put down the document in her hand and said, "I''m not Ken''s


    friend."


    "I''ve known Ken for more than 20 years, and we studied together in Faymany." There was an


    inadvertent pride in Caitlyn''s words, she said, "I know everyone around him."


    Natalie sneered, "Wow!"


    Rose pushed the door open, came in, and said, "The coffee has been brewed, should I bring it in


    now?"


    "Put it here!" Caitlyn ordered.


    Rose bent down and put the tray on the coffee table, and instructed, "Be careful not to burn yourself."


    Caitlyn picked up a cup of coffee, suddenly eximed, "Oops", and let go.


    Rose was afraid that Natalie would be scalded, so she tried to block it with her hands quickly, but it was


    toote. All the hot coffee was poured into the document that Natalie had just annotated. Rose herself


    was also spilled with coffee.


    "Sorry, I didn''t mean to do that." Caitlyn shrugged indifferently and smiled, "Why didn''t you say it was


    hot earlier?"


    Rose''s eyes turned red instantly when she was burnt by the coffee, but she did not dare to say


    anything. She held back her tears with pain, said that it was all right, and asked Natalie if she was


    scalded.


    The humbleness of an employee was vividly reflected at this moment.


    Natalie hurriedly stood up and took Rose''s hand to check. It had been scalded with blisters. Countless


    thoughts shed through Natalie''s mind for a moment, but she calmed down and said, "Go to the


    bathroom and flush the burnt part with water for at least five minutes. Is there a medicine kit?"


    "It doesn''t matter."


    "Just go!"


    "Okay, I''ll ask Nadia Beard to bring you the medicine kit."


    Natalie immediately went out and found scald medicine, alcohol pads, and iodophor in the medicine kit.


    She asked Nadia to find another needle.


    Nadia asked, "Is the e needle OK?"


    "Yes, as long as it has been disinfected."


    When Rose came back, Natalie first used a cotton swab dipped in iodophor to disinfect Rose''s burns,


    then wiped the needle with an alcohol swab and said, "It hurts a bit. Just hold it."


    Then Natalie quickly popped the blister to evacuate the pus, and then applied the ointment.


    "Be careful not to touch the water these days, and apply the ointment on time." Natalie put away the


    medicine kit and assured, "Don''t worry, there will be no scars."


    Rose nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Ramsey."


    "Who is that woman?"


    "It''s Caitlyn Wilson, the daughter of Max Wilson, the chairman of Convenience Real Estate. Mr.


    Ramsey is talking things over with her father now."


    Caitlyn Wilson?


    Caitlyn seemed to be a character who did not even deserve a name in the original novel.


    Although Natalie herself was also not important in the original novel, she still had a name.


    What right had Caitlyn to dictate to me? Natalie thought.


    "They came today for the development project in West Goldburg, which has been discussed for a long


    time and has not been finalized yet." Rose exined carefully, and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Wilson


    has not dropped his im before, but recently there has been a problem with the group''s capital flow."


    As soon as Rose finished speaking, her face changed.


    Natalie turned her face and saw Caitlyn pushing open the ss door anding out.


    Natalie''s lips curled up, and there was a burst of coldness on her face.


    Caitlyn went into the bathroom. When she came out to wash her hands, she suddenly heard someone


    behind give her a Hi, as if greeting her.


    Caitlyn looked up, and then saw Natalie''s smiling face reflected in the mirror.


    Before Caitlyn could react, she felt heat on her head, and then a pinprick-like feeling hit her.


    A cup of hot coffee was fully sshed on Caitlyn''s head.

 Chapter 30 Caitlyn Is Angry

    Chapter 30 Caitlyn Is Angry


    Chapter 30 Caitlyn Is Angry


    Caitlyn instantly froze in ce like a stake.


    She even forgot to scream.


    Natalie put down her hand holding the coffee cup, and her face was like saying, "Surprise,


    Motherfucker!"


    Caitlyn finally remembered to scream. She drew out a tissue and wiped her face with it. When she


    turned around, her face was already twisted with anger.


    She put away her image of being gentle and intellectual, and scolded angrily, "Are you crazy?"


    "Sorry, I didn''t mean to." Natalie imitated her.


    Caitlyn raised her hand and wanted to p Natalie.


    However, just as soon as her hand was raised, it was caught and folded at her neck by Natalie.


    Caitlyn wore high-heeled shoes of about 3 inches, and she was about 2 inches higher than Natalie who


    wore t shoes, but she still looked less domineering than Natalie.


    Natalie opposite her looked very thin, but she had great strength.


    "Do you...know who I am?" Caitlyn could hardly breathe.


    "Caitlyn Wilson!" Natalie called her by name.


    "If you offend me, you will die." Caitlyn clenched her teeth, and her eyes were filled with hatred. "I will


    let my father cut your hands off, and Kendrick will not let you go."


    Natalie smiled. "Are you threatening me?"


    She grabbed Caitlyn by the hair and forced her to raise her face with a cry of pain.


    "Then, do you know who I am?"


    Caitlyn''s eyes widened instantly.


    She suddenly realized that the girl in front of her looked gentle and pure, but she was not easy to be


    messed with.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said casually, "The document that you just sshed a cup of coffee on may


    bring a value of 1 billion to Ramsey Group, which your Wilson family can''t earn with no matter how


    many years of struggle, let alone that Convenience Real Estate is now insolvent, about to go bankrupt


    and reorganize. So, who gives you the courage to be arrogant here?"


    With a smile, Natalie loosened her grip and leaned one hand against the wall. Then she stared into


    Caitlyn''s eyes and said, "Four people are having a meeting, and you, instead of Nigel, was asked out.


    What do you think the reason is?"


    Caitlyn was stunned.


    "Because your father doesn''t want you to know some of the negotiation contents. For example, he


    wants to ask Kendrick to save him once!" Natalie sighed, "Why don''t you even know this?"


    After saying that, she continued in her heart, "No wonder she doesn''t even have a name in the original


    novel.


    She''s so stupid."


    "Bull shit. Why should I trust you?"


    Natalie stepped back a little. "Well, then you can rush to your father and Kendrick and say that I spilled


    coffee on your face."


    She was still smiling calmly.


    "In that case, you''ll not be able to hide the fact that you deliberately scalded Rose. You say you''ve


    known Kendrick for more than 20 years and know him well. Then do you know what will happen to the


    person who hurt his guy?"


    Caitlyn''s face instantly turned pale.


    She thought, "I didn''t want to scald Rose.


    After all, I know I should have some respect for someone who works in the president''s office.


    I was going to injure Natalie.


    She''s apparently not a friend of Kendrick, but she speaks so arrogantly.


    Therefore, I wanted to teach this woman a lesson.


    Unexpectedly, Rose used her body to block her."


    Even though Caitlyn knew she was wrong, she was still quibbling, "I didn''t mean it. She had to put her


    hand out."


    "The person you wanted to scald is me. Rose just took the injury for me." Natalie shook her head. "I


    just didn''t go to bring you coffee, but you actually wanted to retaliate against me. You''re so malicious."


    Caitlyn closed her eyes. The cold coffee was already trickling down from the top of her head, and a


    thousand thoughts were rolling through her mind in a sh. She said to herself, "There will be many


    chances to avenge myself in the future. Just put up with it this time."


    She blinked hard and then opened her eyes again. Then she bit her teeth, forced a smile, and said, "I''ll


    just let go this time, but next time, don''t show up in front of me, or I will kill you!"


    After saying that, she turned to leave.


    "Wait." Natalie reached out to grab her hair and pulled her back.


    Caitlyn widened her eyes angrily. "What else do you want to do?"


    Natalie said in a gentle tone, "I spilled your coffee to vent my anger on my project n, but you still owe


    Rose an apology and some medicalpensation!"


    Caitlyn clenched her back teeth tightly.


    ...


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    When Natalie came out of the toilet, Rose came up and said, "Mr. Ramsey is waiting for you in the


    office. I have reprinted the project n for him to read."


    "Thank you!"


    "You''re wee," said Rose gently.


    Now she liked Natalie more.


    However, when she saw Caitlyn behind Natalie, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.


    Natalie pulled Caitlyn, who was lingering behind, in front of her and said, "By the way, Ms. Wilson


    wants to apologize to you."


    Looking at Caitlyn, who was covered in coffee stains, Rose was stiff in shock in ce.


    Natalie checked the time and saw that it was 4:15. Then she said, "I need to go in now."


    She knocked on the door and then entered Kendrick''s office.


    At a nce, she saw the man sitting at the ck solid wood desk with his head down and a look of


    concentration.


    The bridge of his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.


    Natalie had always thought that men who were preupied with their work were the most handsome.


    She walked over quietly and said, "Hey, I''m here!"


    Kendrick looked up at her and said, "Sit down. I''m reading."


    Natalie could tell that Kendrick was reading her project n carefully, for he had even made detailed


    A smile appeared on Natalie''s face, and she said, "Then I''ll hang around your office."


    She looked up and down Kendrick''s private office and saw that the decor was simr to that of his


    bedroom in their house, simple ck, white, and gray. There was a wide range of books on the side


    shelf and a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the back, overlooking the river view.


    "There are fruits on the table and snacks under the bookcase," added Kendrick.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Natalie had already walked to the bookcase, squatted down, and


    reached for snacks.


    Her movements were swift.


    Kendrickughed and continued to look down at Natalie''s n.


    Soon, he looked up again.


    Looking at the back of the girl who was happy searching for snacks, he thought, "It''s difficult to connect


    her with the author of this excellent and exquisite business strategy n.


    It almost coincides with my idea.


    Her strategic vision can be said as ahead of time, which is good enough to let me dismiss the head of


    the strategic nning department immediately."


    "What do you want to eat?" After a moment''s searching, Natalie turned to ask him.


    Kendrick said casually, "I don''t like snacks."


    The snacks were actually prepared by Nigel.


    Natalie took out a package of nuts and stood up. Then she opened the package, walked over, and said,


    "Having some nuts can reduce work pressure and improve memory."


    Kendrick looked up at the snack in her hand but said nothing.


    "Then I''ll eat it myself."


    After she dropped a handful in her mouth, she heard Kendrick say in a t tone, "I can''t spare a hand


    now."


    He was saying that he needed to be fed.


    Natalie pursed her lips and smiled. Then she walked behind him, bent slightly, and said, "Eat a cashew


    nut first!" She handed it to Kendrick''s lips and said, "Come on, open your mouth."


    Just at that moment, the door in front of them was unexpectedly pushed open with a bang.


    Meanwhile, Rose was saying in a panicked voice, "Ms. Wilson, you can''t go in."

 Chapter 31 Max Is Embarrassed

    Chapter 31 Max Is Embarrassed


    Chapter 31 Max Is Embarrassed


    Natalie straightened up and withdrew her hand.


    The cashew nut beside Kendrick''s mouth was gone.


    Rose came in, bowed, and apologized again, "I''m sorry. I didn''t stop her."


    As an ordinary white-cor worker, she had to be humble.


    Caitlyn had not yet cleared the coffee stains from her body, but she did not care about that. She just


    rushed directly to Kendrick.


    Natalie counted to three in her heart.


    Then Caitlyn cried directly.


    She was not crying aloud, but there were tears in her eyes, and she bit her lips to keep them from


    trickling down.


    Seeing that, Natalie thought, "Well, I should learn from her."


    She dropped a cashew nut into her mouth and looked calm.


    Kendrick raised his face and looked puzzled. "Mr. Wilson has gone!"


    Caitlyn sniffed and looked at him. Then she looked at Natalie, pointed at her, and said, "Ken, this


    woman intentionally spilled coffee all over me."


    The coffee stains were still on her head and body, and Caitlyn looked embarrassed.


    Kendrick turned to look at Natalie.


    "What happened?"


    Caitlyn was so delighted that she failed to restrain her expression. She hurriedly said, "The coffee


    brought by Rose was too hot, and I identally spilled it on her document. Then this woman poured


    the coffee directly on my head." She cried and continued, "I didn''t mean it at all."


    Kendrick frowned. "So?"


    Caitlyn pointed at Natalie and said, "I want this woman to apologize to me. In addition, she has to


    After she had said that, her forehead suddenly hurt, as Natalie threw a peanut directly on her forehead


    and said, "You are dreaming!"


    Then she sneered, "You didn''t mean it? Then I suggest you go to the hospital to check whether you


    have Parkinson''s disease, or whether your cerebellum is naturally underdeveloped. You held the cup of


    coffee so firmly, but you actually spilled it. Rose''s hand is blistered because of you, but she did not


    Natalie thought, "I nned to let this go after she apologized andpensated Rose.


    Anyway, I''ve vented my anger, so there is no need to entangle with her anymore. After all, this woman


    doesn''t look very smart. I guess she will be in bad luck soon.


    Unexpectedly, she actually dared to rush in andin."


    Thinking of this, Natalie pursed her lips and said, "Do you really want me to apologize? Fine, I''m okay


    with it, but, have you apologized to Rose?"


    Caitlyn burst into tears. She turned around, tugged at Rose''s sleeve, and choked, "Sorry, I didn''t mean


    to."


    Rose pulled her sleeve away.


    She was not stupid.


    Therefore, she knew whose side to stand on now.


    "See? She didn''t ept it." Natalie pped her hands. "How about this? Rose''s degree of scalding is


    moderate at the medical level. Now, you take a cup of hot coffee and pour it over your hands to achieve


    moderate scalding. In that case, you two should be even. After that, let''s talk about the following


    matters."


    Caitlyn didn''t know what to say.


    She motioned desperately to Rose with her gaze.


    However, Rose ignored her with no expression.


    Caitlyn got angry and said to Rose, "It was you who had to rush over and stretch out your hand to block


    it. Otherwise, the coffee wouldn''t have touched you at all." After saying that, she turned to Kendrick and


    cried, "Ken, I really didn''t mean it. You can check the surveince. It was she who took the initiative to


    stretch out her hand."


    Hearing this, Rose finally raised her head. She took a deep breath and said, "If I didn''t block it, that cup


    of coffee would have been spilled on Mrs. Ramsey."


    Caitlyn''s eyes widened, and she didn''t understand.


    She thought, "What is she talking about?


    Mrs. Ramsey? Who?"


    Kendrick turned his face, and his eyes darkened instantly. He asked Natalie, "Are you scalded?"


    "No, but my project n was ruined." Natalie raised her eyebrows. "It''s worth about 1 billion. I have


    even madements on it."


    Kendrick had figured out what had happened. He frowned and said to Caitlyn, "You rushed in without


    permission. Now, you want my wife to apologize to you andpensate you, right?"


    When Caitlyn heard this, her pupils widened again, and she thought, "His wife?


    When did he get married?


    Why don''t I know anything about that?"


    "Is that so?" Kendrick asked again.


    "I..."


    Caitlyn suddenly lost all the courage to speak.


    Kendrick took out his mobile phone and said indifferently, "It is necessary to let Mr. Wilson know about


    this matter, otherwise you will be wronged."


    Max had just cheekily asked Kendrick for help.


    However, due to what his daughter had done, there might be a change in the negotiated conditions.


    With no surprise, after receiving a call, Max rushed up from the parking lot downstairs.


    Just as Kendrick had simply exined the matter, Max could not wait to apologize, "It''s my fault that I


    haven''t taught my daughter well. I''m sorry that she has caused you trouble."


    His speed of apologizing shocked not only his daughter but also Natalie.


    Caitlyn whimpered and wanted to speak, but Max interrupted directly, "Shut up!" Then he took Caitlyn


    to apologize to Rose and said that he would bear the medical expenses.


    Max also wanted to apologize to Natalie, but she took the initiative to say, "Ms. Wilson wants me to


    apologize to her!"


    "No, you don''t have to. She is not sensible. I will teach her well in the future."


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    "By the way, you''d better take her to the hospital to have a CT scan to see if her brain kernel has


    shrunk. Otherwise, it is difficult to exin why such an adult could do such a stupid thing."


    Max''s face changed several times, and he did not know what to say. He was really embarrassed.


    Meanwhile, Caitlyn was crying out of breath.


    She looked at Natalie''s face with great resentment.


    Only Kendrick dropped his eyes and smiled lightly.


    "Please go out. I have a business to talk about."


    Kendrick ordered them to leave.


    The office soon quieted down.


    Kendrick nced at Natalie and said, "If anything happens next time, just tell me. Don''t deal with it


    yourself."


    Hearing this, Natalie thought, "He won''t deal with it himself, for someone will do it for him.


    Max must be very nervous now. I guess that he will teach his daughter a tough lesson after he goes


    back."


    Thinking of this, Natalie said demurely, "I know what I should or shouldn''t do. The perceived


    temperature of human skin is about 68-116 ¨H. When it is above 122 ¨H, our skin will get burnt and


    blistered. Therefore, I poured her a cup of coffee at 113 ¨H, which will make her feel hot and painful, but


    it is not a burn in medical identification."


    Kendrick lost his words for a while.


    Natalie looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o''clock. Then she said hurriedly, "Continue to


    read my project n. Don''t you have dinner at night?"


    Speaking of this, she said with some envy, "I will go back myself tonight and eat instant noodles alone."


    Kendrick chuckled, "Do you want to go with me?"


    Natalie was surprised to hear that.


    "Can I?"


    Kendrick nodded.


    Natalie pointed to her T-shirt and casual pants and said, "But I''m not dressing very formally today. I


    think they are convenient."


    "It''s not a private party. I''m going to meet a good friend. Speaking of this, you haven''t seen him before,"


    said Kendrick.


    The original host of Natalie''s body had never contacted Kendrick''s friends before.


    Natalie, however, now wanted to know all about him.


    ...


    Kendrick''s friend was Spencer Mercado.


    He was the youngest professor of quantum mechanics.


    He taught at Goldburg University and mainly studied the rtionship between time and space in


    rtivity.


    He and Kendrick had known each other since they were kids and were close to each other. They were


    good friends who could talk.


    Spencer knew that Kendrick was married, and he also knew that his marriage did not seem to be going


    well.


    However, as a friend, he needed to know what to say and what not.


    Therefore, he didn''t interfere in Kendrick''s private affairs.


    Sitting on the top floor of Season Hotel, Spencer saw Kendricking from a distance, and his


    wheelchair was pushed by a girl. Seeing that, he thought, "I have just called him and asked if I should


    go to pick him up, and he said no.


    It turns out that someone is with him."


    Spencer stood up.


    Then he saw Kendrick tilt his head and say something.


    The next moment, the girl behind Kendrick raised her face and looked in Spencer''s direction.

 Chapter 32 Kendricks Baby

    Chapter 32 Kendrick''s Baby


    Chapter 32 Kendrick''s Baby


    Natalie waved her hand to the front.


    Her hair was tied into a bun, and she was wearing a pink T-shirt and jeans.


    She looked young and lively.


    Spencer was not unheard of what Natalie had done before.


    He even euphemistically asked Kendrick whether Natalie needed psychological counseling.


    However, when Spencer saw Natalie now in person, he felt that she had a healthy vitality.


    "Hello, Prof. Mercado!"


    Natalie took the initiative to greet him.


    Spencer smiled. "Hello."


    Natalie first arranged Kendrick''s position, then pulled out a chair and sat down. After that, she said with


    a smile, "Although we have now met for the first time, Prof. Mercado, you should know what I am,


    right? Therefore, I won''t introduce myself."


    Spencer said gently, "I know. You''re Kendrick''s..."


    Kendrick suddenly looked up at him.


    He immediately swallowed the word "baby".


    When Spencer learned that Kendrick was being transferred to the hotel business because he pped


    his aunt for the sake of his newly married wife, he asked Kendrick in a teasing tone why he suddenly


    treasured Natalie so much.


    "What to eat?" Spencer spread out. "Would you like to order? Ladies first!"


    "I''m not picky about eating!"


    "She''s not picky about eating!"


    Spencer snapped his fingers and said, "You two are really tacit. OK, let me order." Heughed, "I have


    never failed in ordering food."


    Looking at Spencer, Natalie thought, "I can see that Prof. Mercado is a humorous person.


    He looks gentle as well.


    It''s really good for Kendrick to have such a positive friend."


    When the two men met, they naturally talked about current politics and finance.


    Kendrick asked, "What have you been busy with recently? I asked you outst time, but you stood me


    up."


    Spencer took a spoonful of mushroom soup and said, "Don''t mention it. Speaking of this, I''m really


    speechless."


    Hearing this, Kendrick looked up at him.


    "Last time I received a temporary notice from my superior and was asked to go on a business trip.


    Have you watched thetest episode of Science?" said Spencer with a speechless expression.


    Natalie shook her head.


    "The program team said that they found someone who imed to be passing through the eschaton,


    and several major events he predicted were coincident with reality, including the tsunami in Faymany


    this year. He also said that the rtionship between time and space could be deciphered, making the


    shuttle between time and space possible. However..."


    Natalie looked up at him.


    Speaking of this, Spencer indignantly said, "I went on a business trip there and found this man


    extremely unreliable." He pointed to his head and continued, "Later, we took him to the hospital and


    found that there was something wrong with his brain. He fancied he was a time passer. Now he has


    been in the mental hospital for six months, and it is said that he hasn''t got any better yet."


    Natalie''s spoon suddenly fell into the soup.


    "Sorry." Natalie forced a smile. "My hand slipped."


    She picked up the spoon and said, "Prof. Mercado, do you believe in the existence of parallel worlds?"


    "There is no doubt that quantum instability leads to the existence of parallel worlds, but so far, no exact


    evidence has been found, which may be subject to technology, making it unable to build links with other


    worlds," said Spencer.


    Speaking of this, Spencer asked with curiosity, "Are you also interested in quantum mechanics?"


    Of course, Natalie was not interested in that at all.


    She said, "I''m just curious."


    Natalie was afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion if she asked too much.


    She could feel that Kendrick''s eyes had fallen upon her.


    Seeing that she was sshed with some soup, Natalie said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the toilet for a


    moment."


    ...


    After Natalie left her seat, Spencer said, "Your wife is very studious."


    Kendrick said, "She suddenly started reading recently."


    "She''s different from what I thought. She''s very lively and cheerful. I doubt that it was you who made


    trouble before," said Spencer.


    Kendrick was a little speechless.


    "How about the new business? Have you got used to it?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "There is a mess waiting for me to clean up, but there is still a solution," answered Kendrick as he


    pressed the space between his eyebrows.


    "Is there a countermeasure?"


    Kendrick said, "Yes. The hotel business is no longer the focus. I n to restart and promote the


    semiconductor, AMP, and chip business this year."


    Spencer frowned. "Isn''t it already ended because of a shortage of hands? With only yourself, it will be


    very difficult!" He sighed, "I''ve already introduced all the top talents in the industry I know to you."


    "Change the way of thinking. I can M&A some small and medium-sized enterprises with a foundation in


    the industry," said Kendrick.


    Spencerughed, "It looks like you already have a n in mind."


    Kendrick smiled faintly and said nothing.


    Spencer touched sses with him. "Then, aren''t you going to have a double harvest of love and career


    soon?" He sipped some wine and said, "Well, I was cheated by you before. I thought you were


    struggling in the quagmire of marriage and could not get out of it. The truth is, your wife cares for you


    very much. What are you dissatisfied with?"


    Hearing that, Kendrick said in his heart, "There is nothing unsatisfactory.


    It''s just that..."


    Spencer raised his eyebrows and said, "She''s gentle, polite, and sedate. Isn''t she the type you like?"


    Kendrick smiled. "How do you know?"


    "Don''t you admit it?" Spencer stretched out his hand, tapped on the table, and said in disdain, "You are


    clearly enjoying it."


    ...


    Meanwhile, in the toilet, Natalie said to herself in her heart, "Passing through the eschaton.


    Being diagnosed as a psychopath.


    This Prof. Mercado really freaks me out."


    Natalie washed her hands, looked at herself in the mirror, and patted her face.


    "Natalie!"


    Suddenly, someone called her name from behind her.


    The tread of high heels came from far to near and finally stopped by Natalie.


    Natalie turned back.


    Then she saw a mature woman with short hair and a delicate dress.


    She frowned, for she couldn''t remember who the woman was for a moment.


    Natalie decided to be invincible.


    "Are you also here for dinner?"


    Natalie nodded.


    "I''ve heard everything. Anyway, you are also raised in the Quinn family. As long as you go back to


    kneel down and admit your mistake, dad and mom will forgive you. It''s not that serious, so you


    shouldn''t break up with the Quinn family."


    Hearing this, Natalie instantly remembered who the woman was.


    It was Sophia Quinn, the eldest daughter of the Quinn family. She was already married. She came back


    "Admit my mistake? What mistake do I have?"


    Sophia frowned and said, "Do you still think that you did nothing wrong?" She paused for a second and


    then continued, "You pushed Hanna into the pool and hit ine. You even wanted mom to apologize to


    you, making mom and dad very embarrassed. Should a daughter do something like that? You are


    supposed to do everything properly. Don''t go too far."


    Natalie said indifferently, "Hanna and ine deserved that. Nora didn''t kneel down to apologize to me,


    but I''m very generous. Therefore, I didn''t fuss with her. I''ll let it go after shepensates me with


    enough money. By the way, you guys should have received the bill, right? If not, I will ask mywyer to


    mail you another copy. Remember to urge your mother to pay the bill when you go back."


    Sophia didn''t know what to say for a while.


    She looked up and down at Natalie for a moment. Then she sneered, "Natalie, how dare you talk to me


    like this? Do you not even know how to show your respect? Do you forget how I helped you when you


    were still in the Quinn family?"


    As she spoke, Sophia came closer. She was smiling, but her eyes were cold.


    Looking at her, Natalie thought, "In the past sister disputes, Sophia always yed the role of


    peacemaker.


    But in fact, she has been ying tricks on me behind my back, and her methods are more vicious.


    She never openly did anything to me. Instead, she let her two stupid sisters do it for her.


    This woman has a hypocritical face."


    Thinking of this, Natalie nced at her coldly. "So what? Should everyone talk to you with great


    respect? You are not the god of wealth, so why should I tter you?"

 Chapter 33 Natalies Defense for Kendrick

    Chapter 33 Natalie''s Defense for Kendrick


    Chapter 33 Natalie''s Defense of Kendrick


    "You..." Sophia was so angry that she even lost her tongue.


    She thought, "For so many years, I''ve worked hard to manage my gentle image, so everyone I meet is


    polite and respectful when talking to me.


    What''s more, Natalie used to be cowering in front of me.


    However, she has be so arrogant and even retorts to me so bluntly like now."


    After thinking for a while, Sophia sneered, "Mom is right. You are really arrogant. Do you think you have


    found a backup?" Sophia folded her arms in front of her breast. "I''m afraid your wish will be empty.


    Don''t you know that Kendrick has been transferred to the marginal hotel business that is not valued?"


    "Your news is so backward! That was a week ago," said Natalie in disdain.


    Sophia was so angry that she pinched her fingers tightly. After slowly loosening her grip, she adjusted


    her mood and recovered her usual calmness. "From finance to hotel business, the gap is really huge,


    isn''t it? Unfortunately, you may probably lose your backup..."


    She suddenly stretched out her hand, poked Natalie on the shoulder, andughed scornfully, "If you are


    smart enough, turn around and beg us, and then there may be a glimmer of hope. However, if you are


    determined to cut off contact with us, then don''t me us for our indifference!"


    Natalie was really speechless at such cheeky words.


    "Begging you?" Natalieughed louder than she did. She stepped back and drew a long breath.


    "Excuse me, your face squeezed into my air."


    Sophia was stunned for a moment.


    Then she realized that Natalie was scolding her for being cheeky.


    Sophia closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she managed to control her emotions from


    breaking down.


    She sneered three times and finally said slowly, "Do you still want to count on Kendrick?" Sophia


    smiled coldly. "I''m curious how can Kendrick turn over?"


    "Are you curious?" Natalie raised her eyebrows. "Then let me give you a chance. Kendrick is sitting by


    the window now. Go and ask."


    Hearing this, Sophia frowned.


    "If you dare, you can ask Kendrick how he can turn over after being transferred to the hotel business!


    How about asking him to answer your question in person?" Natalie smiled faintly.


    Sophia didn''t expect to hear that.


    "Do you not dare?" Natalie twitched her lips and showed a disdainful expression. "I have given you a


    chance, but you refuse to ask him yourself! Then put your curiosity away, otherwise..." Her eyes


    darkened, and she exuded an aura that didn''t match her age.


    The smile on her pretty, pure face was cold. "Just like the cat, blind and curious, fell into the hot pot..."


    She suddenly leaned her face over, and she said softly, "Dead!"


    Sophia lost her words for a while.


    She gritted her teeth hard. Her eloquence, however, was limited. After a long pause, she still did not


    know what to say. Finally, she said, "Natalie, you''d better look out for yourself."


    The tread of high heels went away.


    Natalie also let out a sneer.


    She thought, "All the daughters of the Quinn family are annoying.


    But what happened to my memory?


    If Sophia hadn''t spoken first, I''m afraid I would not have remembered such a person.


    The memory of the original host is fading."


    While thinking, she turned on the tap and began to deal with the stains on her body.


    ...


    Sophia came out of the toilet angrily and walked so fast that she almost bumped into the waiter with the


    te.


    She clenched her fists indignantly, stood there, and took a deep breath, still unable to calm her mood.


    She thought, "For the first time in my life, I''m so embarrassed.


    Natalie, that bitch, is really not the same as she was.


    Who on earth gives her the courage to talk to me like that?"


    Sophia raised her head, exhaled, and pressed her hands to her temples.


    Then she thought again, "Just now, I really wanted to p her in the face. However, it was a public


    asion, and if anyone knew about it, it would definitely hurt my image. I''m the daughter-inw of a


    congressman. As a result, I have to be gentle and decent on every asion, so that no one can find


    any fault on me."


    Thinking of this, Sophia instantly put on a smiling face.


    ncing at the window, Sophia saw Kendrick, who was dining with his friend.


    Seeing that, she understood why she couldn''t book the table by the window a week in advance.


    She even showed her identity and offered a higher price, but she still failed.


    Now, she finally realized that the table was reserved for Kendrick.


    Sophia smoothed her hair, walked over, and greeted Kendrick, "What a coincidence to meet you here."


    Kendrick looked up and saw that it was Natalie''s eldest sister. He nodded and smiled to show


    politeness.


    Sophia boasted that she was a socialite and could behave well on any asion. With a gentle smile,


    she said intimately, "I also wanted to book the table by the window, but the restaurant manager told me


    that someone had booked it with me at the same time. I thought that person might need it more than


    me, so I gave in. I did not expect it to be you and Natalie who had reserved the table. What a


    coincidence, right?"


    "What? Did that happen?" asked Spencer in confusion.


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Sophia smiled and said, "Yes, isn''t it a coincidence?"


    "But it shouldn''t be!" Spencer frowned slightly. "The restaurant manager said that the table by the


    window would be reserved for us within a month, for he was not sure when we woulde for dinner.


    What''s the matter? Is this person fooling us?"


    Kendrick revealed a meaningful smile. "Why don''t you call and ask?"


    "Good idea. I have to figure it out. How can someone else book the table that the manager has


    promised to leave for us?"


    Sophia''s face suddenly turned green for a while, and she felt very embarrassed.


    She had meant to show her generosity, so as to get in good with Kendrick. Unexpectedly, she was


    pped in the face on the spot. She immediately said, "Is that so? Maybe there was a deviation during


    the news conveying, and my friend also misunderstood the meaning of the manager."


    Spencer nodded. "I guess your friend made a mistake. The manager won''t lie to us."


    Sophia didn''t know what to say.


    However, she was used to the big scenes. Therefore, she was not flustered at all, even though she was


    pped in the face on the spot. She even smiled and said, "I''m just here to say hello, and I''ll leave right


    away. Please continue your dinner."


    Just at that moment, a waiter was passing by with the creamy mushroom soup for the next table.


    Seeing that, Sophia suddenly had an idea. As the waiter passed her, she stuck out one leg.


    "Watch out!"


    A clear, beautiful female voice suddenly sounded.


    Before Kendrick could react, his sight suddenly darkened, and he was held in someone''s arms. He


    couldn''t see anything, and only the tip of his nose was lingering with Natalie''s faint perfume.


    Natalie pushed the waiter''s arm with her hand as she rushed forward, but she still couldn''t change the


    direction of inertia. It was toote for her to stand in front of Kendrick, so she directly blocked his body.


    As a result, the creamy mushroom soup was instantly dumped on her back.


    The soup was 113 ¨H hot.


    Therefore, Natalie''s skin was scalded in pain.


    She couldn''t help but groan.


    Then she felt her skin get numb.


    Soon, she straightened up, looked at Kendrick, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"


    Kendrick frowned deeply and said, "I''m fine. Are you scalded?"


    His sight was blocked, so he could not see what had happened to Natalie.


    Suddenly, Sophia said in an artificial and not sincere voice, "Why are you so careless, young man?


    Hurry up and bring the cloth to deal with it."


    Natalie ground her teeth, and her eyes were filled with coldness. She raised her hand and took two


    mouthfuls of borscht that was ced in front of Spencer.


    Then, in full view of the public, Natalie poured the whole bowl of borscht over Sophia''s head without


    hesitation.

 Chapter 34 Gave Her a Lesson

    Chapter 34 Gave Her a Lesson


    Chapter 34 Gave Her a Lesson


    The borscht was thick.


    Sophia instantly couldn''t see anything.


    "Ah..."


    Sophia screamed because of the soup, regardless of her image.


    Everyone was stunned.


    At first, Sophia thought that the soup would be poured on the head of the waiter. However, she didn''t


    expect that Natalie would turn the bowl to her.


    People around were taking pictures.


    Kendrick called someone on the phone and said in a cold voice, "Bring her up immediately."


    Sophia was at a loss. Her vision was blurred, and her breath was full of the smell of borscht. She


    wanted to cry and stretched out her hand to wipe her face, then she said disgustedly, "Natalie, are you


    crazy?"


    Natalie took some toilet paper and wiped her hands slowly. After that, she arrogantly threw the paper to


    Sophia''s face and asked, "Do you know why I poured the soup at you?"


    "Ah... crazy! You are so crazy! I will get you punished!"


    Sophia rushed to Natalie angrily.


    But before Sophia got close to Natalie, her cor was grabbed by someone and she was lifted up.


    The elegant and decent Sophia was now like a little chicken, baring its teeth and ws.


    Then Kendrick''s bodyguards in ck came up.


    These cool boys in ck all guarded the restaurant. Then they began to ask the customers to delete


    the photos and videos in their phones immediately and left. Customers didn''t need to pay for their


    dinner today. The leader of these bodyguards raised his hand and made a gesture to wipe his neck to


    remind the customers not to leak any photos.


    Although everyone wanted to know what had happened, they still left when seeing these bodyguards.


    "Let her go! what are you doing?"


    The friend who had dinner with Sophia came over. He was a man in his thirties with a decent


    appearance and temperament.


    When he saw the bodyguards in ck, he was surprised, but he quickly calmed down and said, "What


    happened? Let her go! You''re breaking thew." He pointed at Natalie and said, "You sshed soup on


    her face for no reason. How dare you do that! I''ll call the police now and let them sue you for


    intentionally hurting others."


    The man screamed as soon as he took out his phone.


    The bodyguard, who was holding Sophia, also pressed down on the man''s wrist. The man felt pain and


    threw his phone to the ground.


    Kendrick wanted to ask Natalie to sit down and wiped the stains on her clothes. But Natalie stood up


    and couldn''t help saying, "Who is hurting others on purpose?"


    Natalie dragged the waiter over and said, "Kendrick was walking when Sophia suddenly stretched out


    her foot to trip him. If I hadn''te in time, the soup would have sshed on him. Can you afford the


    result?"


    That''s the truth!


    Everyone suddenly realized.


    Spencer was so attracted by their dialogues that he felt the steak in his hand was no longer tasty.


    The shocked expression on Spencer''s face never disappeared, and he decided to take back the


    "You''re talking nonsense! I didn''t do that."


    Sophia began to argue for herself.


    The waiter nodded timidly and said, "I was walking but I was suddenly tripped by this youngdy. I''m


    not on purpose."


    "Sophia is not such a person." The man who came with Sophia obviously refused to believe it.


    Natalie frowned and nced at the man.


    This man looked familiar!


    Wait, he was Sophia''s husband!


    Natalie snorted coldly, "Who are you?"


    "I''m her friend. I believe that she was a kind girl." The man took a tissue and hugged Sophia in his


    arms to wipe off the stains on her face.


    "You are so intimate! Does her husband know you?" Natalie''s voice was not loud, but her words


    shocked everyone!


    The man''s hands suddenly froze.


    The customers who hadn''t left the restaurant immediately started talking.


    What a good show!


    Sophia''s expression changed unexpectedly. She pushed the man away, took a tissue to wipe her face,


    raised her face after a while, stared at Natalie viciously and said, "Natalie, I never did anything to hurt


    you. You can''t lie and spread rumours without a limit. When did I trip him? It is you who poured soup on


    my face for no reason. You are a little bastard whocks education."


    "Did I spread rumours?" Natalie was not annoyed. Her emotions were under control. She looked at


    Sophia''s toes and asked, "What''s the matter with the blood stains on your shoes?"


    Sophia lowered her head in disbelief.


    Natalie''s eyes fell on the waiter. The waiter tore off the bottom of his trousers, and there was a deep


    gash scratched by the decoration on Sophia''s high-heeled shoes.


    Sophia was stunned and took two steps back.


    The restaurant was nowpletely empty.


    Only a few people and Kendrick''s bodyguards were here.


    "Sophia, did you still don''t want to admit that you tripped the waiter on purpose to hurt Kendrick?"


    Natalie was angry. Fortunately, she saw it, otherwise, the soup would definitely be poured at Kendrick''s


    face.


    It was inconvenient for him to move.


    So it was also impossible for him to escape the soup.


    This was a blind spot for monitoring, and Sophia''s small gestures might not be discovered.


    At that time, she would just put all the mistakes on the waiter.


    What a vicious woman!


    "Call the police!" Kendrick said, "Let the policee to collect the evidence, and I will reserve the right


    to sue."


    Upon hearing the words, Sophia immediately became anxious.


    Any criminal records couldn''t be left on her.


    Moreover, her private meeting today with a man must not be exposed, or everything would be at a


    mass.


    "No, you can''t call the police!" Sophia stretched out her hand and grabbed Natalie''s sleeve, and said,


    "We are sisters, are you sure that you want to make things worse? We will lose both your and the


    Quinn''s mansion''s faces."


    Natalie pulled back her sleeves calmly and said, "Just now you called me a bastard, and now you say


    that we''re sisters. Then you are also a little bastardcking education."


    It was silent around the house.


    Spencer almost couldn''t help apuding.


    How wonderful!


    What kind of treasure did Kendrick marry?


    Sophia said, "I will apologize to you!"


    Natalie turned her eyes and said, "No. Apologize to Kendrick!"


    Sophia bent in Kendrick''s direction and said, "Sorry."


    "You are not sincere." Natalie patted Sophia on the back and said, "You are still taller than him, and it


    doesn''t look like a bow."


    Natalie raised her eyes to remind the bodyguard behind her.


    The bodyguard immediately came up and kicked Sophia''s leg, causing her to bend her knees and


    kneeled down.


    "That''s right."


    Natalie wanted to revenge for how she had been treated in the Quinn''s mansion.


    So far, the three sisters of the Quinn''s mansion had been taught a lesson by her.


    It was aplete victory for her!


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Sophia had never suffered as much humiliation in her life as she had on this day. She felt so angry!


    Sophia was not afraid of Natalie.


    But Kendrick was also there.


    Moreover, Kendrick always listened to Natalie and protected her, and that''s why Natalie was not afraid!


    Thinking of this, Sophia narrowed her eyes fiercely, and suddenly raised her head and sneered,


    "Natalie, you were really ungrateful. How many times did I protect you from your private meeting with


    Orion before? Otherwise, you would have been heavily punished by our father."

 Chapter 35 A Heavy Slap

    Chapter 35 A Heavy p


    Chapter 35 A Heavy p


    Just as Spencer picked up a piece of steak, it fell onto a dinner te.


    He didn''t want to know more things about this group of people.


    Now, he just wanted to find a safe ce to hide.


    Seeing that Natalie didn''t speak, Sophia was pleased, "How dare you say you don''t remember?"


    Sophia turned to Kendrick intentionally, and said with a gloomy smile, "Natalie, you still asked me to


    lend him money and I almost lent money every time you asked me."


    Natalie thought, " I really didn¡¯t remember that. And I didn¡¯t do those things."


    Natalie''s silence gave Sophia great courage. She felt that she could fight back again, so she gritted her


    teeth andughed, "Now you think that you have found a new supporter, and you want to show your


    loyalty?"


    It was true that Sophia was more difficult to be dealt with.


    She was vicious!


    Sophia became more unscrupulous. She turned to Kendrick and said, "Actually, my sister..."


    "Shut up!"


    Kendrick''s voice was as cold as ice.


    His thin lips were pursed, the veins in his hands resting on the wheelchair were bulging, and the lines


    of his profile were clear and harsh under the light.


    Obviously, he was angry.


    Sophia didn''t know that and wanted to open her mouth to continue.


    Kendrick tilted his face.


    "Pa-"


    Sophia received a loud p on the face.


    It was a p from Kendrick''s bodyguard in ck.


    This group of people were personally selected by Kendrick. They had followed him for many years and


    they were both skilled and loyal.


    It didn''t matter whether you were a man or a woman, as long as Kendrick gave an order, you would be


    punished.


    With a height of 1.9 meters, the bodyguard who was a former world fighting champion was naturally


    stronger than ordinary people.


    Sophia was pped and fell to the ground, unable to even get up.


    Her ears were buzzing, and her nose was filled with blood.


    She even spat out a bloody tooth.


    People at the scene had different responses.


    Spencer was surprised. He had almost never seen Kendrick''s bodyguards pping others in public.


    It seemed that Kendrick was really angry.


    For so many years, Kendrick''s philosophy of life was to be alone and stand aloof.


    But now his own house was burning.


    So he must take some action.


    People would not try messing with Kendrick.


    Natalie was also stunned.


    What a powerful p! It could even knock out a person''s teeth.


    Sophia sat on the ground with the support of her friend. Her eyes were staring straight, and she didn''t


    She waspletely stunned.


    "You...you dare to hit me?" Sophia finally came back to her senses, covered her swollen face, and


    picked up the phone with trembling hands, "I...I''ll..."


    She had already started pressing the phone, but she became hesitated when she suddenly saw the


    person around her.


    If she let others know this thing...


    She couldn''t even hide her own secrets.


    Thinking of this, Sophia raised her face angrily, and cursed at Natalie, "Remember this! I will return this


    p sooner orter."


    Natalie was speechless.


    It wasn''t she who pped Sophia! It was Kendrick.


    How could Sophia return the p to her?


    Sophia was bullying the weak, wasn''t she?


    Sophia was extremely unwilling, and her face was contorted in anger. She turned to Kendrick and said,


    "You always protect her and you even don''t know..."


    "Pa-"


    The ck-clothed guy pped her face again.


    This time, Sophia was lying on the ground,pletely unable to get up.


    Kendrick snorted coldly, "How dare you say it again?"


    --


    The originally pleasant party was disrupted by Sophia, so it was stopped early.


    Natalie also apologized to Prof. Mercado.


    Spencer hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Nothing. I enjoyed this meal very much."


    He had watched a great show!


    Prof. Mercado even began to admire Natalie''s courage.


    But right now, Kendrick''s face was so dark that he didn''t dare to say more.


    Natalie didn''t dare to talk, either.


    The silent atmosphere spread to the car.


    Natalie took a look at Kendrick''s expression, and it seemed that something was wrong.


    Natalie bit her lip and was about to speak.


    The man turned his face and asked, "Does your back still hurt?"


    "No...ah, it is painful." Natalie nodded.


    "Let me see!"


    Natalie turned her back to Kendrick, and lifted up her clothes slightly.


    The lights inside the car were dim, but some redness could still be seen on the back.


    "How do you deal with burns?" Kendrick seemed to ask casually.


    "It depends. If it is only mild, the surface is red but there are no blisters and no damage, I''ll just rinse it


    with cold water and apply some ointment."


    Natalie answered naturally.


    Just like an expert.


    "I was reading the family first aid manual recently, and I just recited it here."


    Natalie felt the silence and said hastily.


    "We''ll be home in ten minutes." Kendrick put down her clothes and said, "Ice it."


    "Ok." Natalie nodded, like a well-behaved little rabbit. She turned her face with anticipation in her eyes


    when she looked at Kendrick.


    Kendrick opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end all his emotions were suppressed


    in the night.


    After a while...


    A hand tugged at his sleeve.


    Kendrick turned his face slightly, and then he met the girl''s aggrieved face.


    "Don''t believe Sophia''s words. She is sowing discord between us."


    When these words came out...


    Natalie was a little guilty.


    She thought that the name "Orion Colon" had already turned the page, but she didn''t expect that it


    would be mentioned by Sophia again.


    Kendrick felt an inexplicable fire burning in his chest at this moment.


    Was it Sophia who was too bold and presumptuous in front of him?


    Or...?


    The words said by Sophia made him ufortable.


    "Sophia saw that you were protecting me, so she felt unhappy and said those outrageous things. You


    can''t be fooled." Natalie took Kendrick''s hand and said, "She doesn''t have a happy marriage, so she


    doesn''t like others. The man eating with her was not her husband, but a lesser-known star."


    Natalie took out her mobile phone and put it in front of Kendrick and said, "I just remembered it."


    Kendrick looked at it, lowered his eyelids, and said calmly, "I know!"


    Natalie couldn''t judge Kendrick''s emotions from his words.


    Natalie didn''t have a deep understanding of love affairs, so she was unable to figure out Kendrick''s


    heart.


    But his attitude was not what she wanted.


    Even Natalie didn''t know what kind of response she hoped to get.


    If Kendrick was angry, it meant that he cared about her.


    If he was not angry, it meant that he didn''t care about her.


    But he didn''t show any emotion on his face.


    In an instant, some inexplicable grievances surged up in Natalie''s heart.


    Natalie calmed down and said, "The name Orion, if Sophia didn''t mention it today, I have already


    forgotten it. This person has nothing to do with me now. I said that I would only follow your step in the


    future, so I will definitely. If you mind about him..."


    Natalie blinked her eyes pitifully, and her voice also quieted down, "Then you can find him, but don''t be


    angry with me."


    "I''m not angry!" Kendrick said.


    He just realized that the emotions surging in his heart were beyond his control, and he was a little


    confused.


    "Really?" Natalie was not sure. She stared at him, and said in a very low voice, "Why? You can be


    angry!"


    Kendrick said, "What?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie turned her face away, "Nothing."


    Kendrick keenly caught Natalie''s emotional changes. His brows were hidden in the dark and his


    expression was indistinct, only a calm voice sounded, "No matter what purpose Sophia has, I won''t


    take her words to heart."

 Chapter 36 I Would Protect You

    Chapter 36 I Would Protect You


    Chapter 36 I Would Protect You


    Women''s minds were alwaysplicated.


    Even with such a direct character as Natalie.


    When she met her loved one, she couldn''t be consistent between words and her true feeling.


    Kendrick''s exnation was essentially useless.


    "I don''t take her words to heart."


    Natalie frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence.


    But she quickly reviewed herself that she must be too hypocritical.


    It''s okay to be angry, and it''s okay not to be angry.


    What should he do?


    What''s more, Kendrick, who had always cherished words like gold, had spoken so many words today.


    Natalie told herself to forget about it.


    Thinking of this, she turned her face again, and solemnly said, "Forget about me in the past, and


    remember me in the present and in the future." Starlight shed in her eyes, "Is that okay?"


    "No matter what the reason was, and as long as the result was good, he could just stick to it."


    These words came to Kendrick''s mind.


    He met her gaze, and slowly uttered a word, "Okay!"


    --


    When Ashlynn went upstairs to deliver medicine to Natalie at night, she met Kendrick at the stairs.


    Ashlynn said, "I''ll get some ointment for Mrs. Ramsey."


    Kendrick nodded.


    Ashlynn said, "Then I will go to Mrs. Ramsey''s room."


    Kendrick didn''t answer.


    But he stood in front of her.


    Ashlynn turned her head around, and tentatively passed the ointment forward, "How about, sir, you


    send it!"


    Kendrick took the ointment, raised his eyes and asked, "You still have something to do, right?"


    Something to do?


    Ashlynn said, "I have finished all of my work."


    But facing Kendrick''s deep ck eyes, Ashlynn nodded quickly, "Yes, I have to go to the greenhouse to


    water the flowers."

    Kendrick raised his face and said, "Ok!"


    He pushed the wheelchair to the door of Natalie''s room and knocked.


    "Come in!"


    Kendrick opened the door and said, "Ashlynn has something to do, so I''m here to bring you the


    ointment."


    Natalie was lying naked on the bed, and when she heard Kendrick''s voice, she pulled the quilt over.


    "Oh, okay. I just washed it with cold water." Nataliey on the pillow and turned to look at him and said,


    "Then can you apply the medicine for me? I can''t see behind."


    Kendrick moved closer. Holding the corner of the quilt with his hand, he paused for a moment, but still


    opened it.


    He didn''t see it clearly in the car just now.


    Now in the light of the room, her back was slender, clean and curvy, with red marks all over it.


    Kendrick was stunned.


    He recalled the scene where she rushed over to protect him in her arms.


    It was like in the car ident many years ago, his mother desperately protected him.


    Heter lost his parents forever.


    Withdrawing his thoughts, Kendrick unscrewed the ointment and applied it to her back with a cotton


    swab.


    His expression was focused and the movements were gentle.


    He was silent.


    "Why don''t you talk?" Natalie joked with him, "Is it because my back is beautiful?"


    Kendrick paused slightly, and said in a calm tone, "You really like talking."


    "You don''t like to talk, and if I don''t talk, then how can wemunicate with each other? Should we just


    make eye contact every day? That''s too boring!"


    "You used to..." Kendrick paused, "be silent."


    "People sure change." Natalie said, "We agreed in the car just now that we''ll forget about the past. So


    don''t talk about my past or I will get angry. Once I get angry, the consequence will be very serious."


    "Do you also want to put soup on my face?" Kendrick teased.


    Natalie snorted arrogantly, and said sullenly, "Am I fierce just now?"


    Natalie was really angry. When she thought that the soup would be poured on Kendrick''s handsome


    face, she couldn''t control her hands.


    "No." Kendrick said, "If you are bullied, naturally you have to fight back."


    "With your words, I feel at ease."


    Kendrick heard something strange.


    He put away the ointment and said, "Don''t do this again in the future."


    "Why?" Natalie was puzzled.


    "It''s very dangerous." Kendrick frowned and said, "If the soup is very hot, you will go directly to the


    hospital."


    "I didn''t think too much." Nataliey on the pillow, "The situation was too critical at that time, so I just


    went straight to you."


    "Think twice before doing anything, and don''t put yourself in danger." Kendrick said in a deep voice.


    "But the one who will gets hurt like that will be you." Natalie''s voice was firm, "I will not allow such a


    thing to happen!"


    Kendrick remained silent.


    "No!" It took a long time for Kendrick''s voice to reappear, and it seemed that he was sneering, "I''m such


    a person, it''s not worth it for you to do this."


    His parents both died in order to save him.


    This thing had brought him tremendous psychological pressure.


    For twenty years,


    he would still me himself and fall into deep pain.


    It was he who wanted to go to the amusement park that day.


    If it wasn''t for him, nothing like that would have happened.


    Nancy said that his waywardness led to the death of his parents.


    He also thought so.


    Because of the deep emotional entanglement, he still could not forgive himself, and he had been


    receiving psychological treatment. After that, he no longer allowed himself to be emotional.


    As long as there was love, there would be pain.


    Once he abandoned all emotions andpletely closed his heart, he would never feel pain again.


    "Don''t say that."Although Natalie couldn''t see his face, she could still feel his emotional fluctuations


    from his breathing, and her voice became soft but firm, "You are worth it, all the tenderness and care in


    this world, you are worth it. I couldn''t control those people who spoke ill of you, denied you, and


    suppressed you before, but now that I''m here. I won''t allow them to exist, and I won''t allow you to suffer


    any harm."


    Natalie''s words were like a spring breeze blowing on his deste heart.


    But Kendrick''s face was a bit confused.


    "Why?"


    "We are husband and wife, and we are the closest people in this world to each other. The meaning of


    marriage is to support each other."Natalie said solemnly, "You also protect me, and I protect you, isn''t it


    normal?"


    Kendrick frowned slightly. He only protected her a few times out of responsibility.


    Was he worth it?


    Suddenly, many kinds of emotions arose in Kendrick''s heart that he had not had before. He tried his


    best to restrain them, but he couldn''t stop them from spreading wantonly.


    Kendrick lowered his head and saw his legs, all his emotions copsed in an instant. His eyes became


    calm again without any emotion, "I won''t be, so grateful."


    He had already carried such a deep emotional burden.


    It would always hurt him when thinking about it.


    If someone got hurt for him again, he couldn''t bear it.


    "I don''t care!" Natalie became anxious, and she sat up all of a sudden, "I just want to protect you. This


    time I have blocked the soup for you, and next time I''m willing to even block the gun."


    From the very first day here, she decided to treat him well, and the vow she made would never be


    changed easily.


    However, Natalie forgot an important thing when she got excited.


    She didn''t wear anything on her upper body!


    Her snow-white body fell into Kendrick''s sight clearly and directly without any cover.

 Chapter 37 He Saw Me Naked

    Chapter 37 He Saw Me Naked


    Chapter 37 He Saw Me Naked


    All senses were stimted at this moment.


    The heat gradually permeated the neck and behind the ear.


    Kendrick was awkward and turned away in a hurry.


    Natalie realized when Kendrick''s sight fell on her. She was frozen, her brain was like a rusty machine


    "ttered" several times and then stopped there.


    She didn''t know how long it took before her stripped consciousness came back.


    She stretched out her stiff fingers, pulled the quilt to cover herself, and theny down like a robot.


    She looked at the ceiling with her eyes open.


    As if were several big characters on it--


    He saw my boobs!


    Kendrick came back to his senses, and his ears were still tinged with a little red. When he spoke, his


    voice was hoarse and deeper than before, "Have a rest early."


    After that, he wheeled his wheelchair and left.


    Then she heard the door close.


    Natalie sat up and touched her chin.


    He must have seen it!


    But he turned around fast.


    Didn''t he see it?


    Natalie lowered her head and looked at herself.


    It was quite something.


    --


    In the study.


    Theputer was on, and the screen shed blue.


    The project n of dozens of pages just opened remained on the first page.


    He didn''t flip at all.


    Kendrick stared at theputer screen and didn''t know what he was thinking.


    "You deserve all the tenderness and care in the world!"


    "... I will not allow you to suffer any harm!"


    "I just want to protect you. This time I can block the soup for you and the next time I can block the


    gunshot."


    These words were like waves churning in his mind.


    They went on and on.


    The scene suddenly changed in his mind.


    The scene in his mind was as beautiful as the picture of a girl in an oil painting.


    He couldn''t help it.


    Kendrick''s hands were squeezed unconsciously.


    He leaned back and rested on his chair.


    He closed his eyes and pressed his eyebrows.


    Soon, he sat up straight again and picked up the phone that was put aside.


    His lips were tight. His slender and distinct fingers were rubbing the ck phone, and the blue veins on


    the back of his hand were bulging as he used the strength of the force.


    His silhouette was cold and sharp when hidden in the dim light of the study, even his eyebrows


    revealed some of his rages.


    With the tip of his tongue on his back tooth, he exhaled and dialed the phone.


    When he got through, he asked, "Where''s Orion?"


    The man on the phone replied, "He is still in the detention center and will be prosecuted next month."


    "Next month?"


    It was just a rhetorical question, and the man''s tone was trembling, "Next week, the prosecution and


    trial will start next week, and the collection of... evidence has ended."


    Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly and gave an order, "Get it done soon."


    "O... OK."


    "And," Kendrick said gently, "Don''t let him get toofortable!"


    "Yes, we have been following your instructions."


    It was already midnight.


    Mr. Sloan was a little upset when he received the call from Kendrick. Kendrick didn''t ask about Orion at


    first, just said to let it happen at times.


    Unexpectedly, he stepped in halfway.


    It seemed that Orion''s life was over.


    Kendrick hung up the phone.


    He still couldn''t relieve the depression in his heart.


    The moon and stars were shining outside the window.


    However, his emotions changed a lot on thiste summer night.


    --


    Orion was dragged up in the middle of the night, covered with sacks, and taken to an empty room.


    He was severely beaten.


    He knew he was doomed this time.


    But everything went ording to the process.


    Tonight, was the first time he had ever been hit so hard.


    He was almost dying.


    He held his head, and in a bloody smell, he heard the people who hit him say, "You son of a bitch got


    bad luck. Mr. Ramsey called in the middle of the night to let us teach you a lesson. It''s fucking bad luck,


    I didn''t sleep well."


    He kicked Orion heavily in the ribs.


    Orion almost vomited blood.


    Orion sobbed and said intermittently, "I... I want to see... Natalie."


    Those people kicked him in the face and said, "What are you mumbling about? Do you want to meet


    someone? You are going to see Death."


    Orion curled up in pain.


    He didn''t know when things had changedpletely.


    Natalie couldn''t save himself from death.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Even Litzy couldn''t see her.


    Litzy said that Natalie had forbidden Litzy to enter her home again.


    Thest time she begged, she was kicked out.


    Where exactly had changed?


    Orion didn''t understand.


    All his ns fell through.


    Looked at this situation.


    He was afraid that he might die in prison.


    --


    Natalie was woken up by the bell of her phone in the morning.


    It was the special prompt tone set by her.


    When she checked the phone, it was Dr. Walker''s message.


    She sat up excitedly from the bed.


    It was all in Fayman and it made her have a headache in the morning.


    Word by word, the person who sent the email was not Dr. Walker but his only student.


    Signed by Owen Gentry.


    Twenty-six years old.


    Hamgradish.


    The world''s top neurologist.


    He was a gifted teenager.


    He would return home the next month. He was very interested in Natalie''s proposal. He looked forward


    to meeting her for academic discussion to promote the development of neuroscience.


    Natalie looked at the contents of the email.


    She went to the Inte and searched for Owen''s background.


    This--


    It could be said that he was another version of her.


    A gifted teenager graduated with a doctor''s degree at the age of 22.


    They chose the same specialty.


    Even their birthday was the same day.


    If it were not written gender male.


    Natalie almost thought it was her own in the parallel world.


    She touched her chin. That was too much of a coincidence.


    After reading the Fayman information, Natalie caught the key points from it.


    Owen, the world''s top neurology surgeon, would return home next month.


    He was interested in her proposal.


    More importantly, he learned from Walker, so he must have known Kendrick.


    Natalie got up from bed excitedly.


    She had been suffering from being unable toplete such aplicated surgery by herself.


    Was the helpering soon?


    --


    Kendrick didn''t sleep all night.


    The light in the study was also on all night.


    At 6:30 the next day, he appeared at the restaurant on time and poured himself a full cup of ck


    coffee.


    Then he went to thepany calmly.


    He had a meeting in the morning.


    During this period, he frequently distracted and stared at the conference screen. The scene in his mind


    switched quickly, and atst, it was Natalie''s face.


    Kendrick insisted on finishing the meeting.


    When he returned to the office, he took out his phone and looked at it.


    It was weird today.


    Natalie didn''t send her a message.


    She used to send him a good morning message and share some interesting pictures with him every


    day.


    Kendrick''s response was brief.


    Usually, she sent ten messages, and he would reply with one message.


    But he replied very seriously, especially in the face of her questions.


    As for the odd ones he didn''t know how to reply, he would reply with stickers instead.


    Unconsciously, he had formed the habit of waiting for her greeting every morning.


    Unfortunately, no greetings today.


    Kendrick pursed his lips, he tapped on the screen, then deleted them all, and put down the phone.


    After a while, he picked up his phone again, clicked Search, and entered several keywords.


    [Girls] [Chat] [Opening chat]

    Chapter 38 Newlywed Love


    "Whoosh."


    All kinds of relevant replies in the search App came out.


    Kendrick ignored the small ads of various emotional masters and chose a more reliable one to enter.


    [You can share your work and life with her.]


    Boring.


    His life could be described by this word.


    Just like his bedroom and office, the monotonous ck, white and gray, without any color.


    Kendrick rolled down the screen.


    [Start with her TimeLine.]


    Kendrick tapped Natalie''s headshot and entered her TimeLine.


    Her TimeLine was nk.


    Only the signature had been changed to "asionally hateful, always lovely."


    Kendrick couldn''t help but smile.


    [Talk about topics she is interested in.]


    What was she interested in?


    Kendrick thought for a moment, it seemed like her interest was to make money.


    She was very interested in money recently.


    --


    Natalie answered Fayman email in her study.


    It was said that Kendrick stayed up all night and went to thepany early in the morning.


    "Good," she thought. Otherwise, it would be awkward to meet him today.


    Propping her hands on her head, she recalledst night and shook her head. How did she get so


    excited that she sat up straight away?


    Natalie finished typing thest word and clicked Send.


    Nailed it.


    She picked up her phone and nced at it.


    Kendrick did not send her a message.


    This man would not initiate a message to her.


    She opened the collection and chose from a row of memes. She didn''t know which one to choose.


    At this moment, the phone vibrated.


    Kendrick sent a series of numbers.


    Natalie looked at it and wondered, was this a stock code?


    Soon, Kendrick answered her questions.


    [These stocks will rise significantly in the future. It is rmended to hold them for a long time!]


    In his position, Kendrick had his internal news. In addition, his unique vision helped him foresee future


    trends. Therefore, the stocks he liked were bound to rise sharply in the future.


    Natalie held her phone with her fingers. For a moment, she found herself speechless.


    What should she say in return?


    If he was willing to teach her how to invest, then she should be grateful!


    Natalie immediately sent a giggling meme.


    [Will the boss teach me to invest in the future?]


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    [I''m very smart. I can learn everything at once!]


    Kendrick smiled gently.


    She was generous in praising herself.


    [We''ll see.]


    Kendrick was firm in speech but soft in heart.


    This was him, with a little pride in his bones.


    However, he sent a meme with a hand patting the head.


    It was his rare tenderness.


    The group''s vice president, Rory, knocked on the door, and when he looked up, he saw Kendrick


    smiling at his phone.


    A few days ago, people were talking about Mr. Ramsey being newly married and in love.


    It seemed to be true.


    He worked with Kendrick''s father before and had been in thepany for more than 30 years. This


    time, he voluntarily transferred his job to join Kendrick in the new business of the hotel.


    "Rory." Kendrick raised his head, restrained his smile, took out Natalie''s n from the drawer, and


    handed it to him, "Check this out."


    "Okay!" Rory took it with both hands.


    Thirty minutester, Rory admired this n from the bottom of his heart.


    He reached out and pushed his sses, hesitated, and said, "Are you going to rece Kolten Decker


    from the Strategy Department?"


    Kendrick frowned, "Do you think she has the ability?"


    Rory was a confidant and didn''t beat around the bush. He said directly, "This business n alone


    shows that this person has a sophisticated logical analysis ability, a strategic vision, and a strong sense


    of business. She is a rare talent. If she can get into the strategy department, she will be a very


    strong helper and promoter in our business."


    Kendrick''s eyes shed a hint of yfulness.


    He didn''t tell Rory who wrote the n.


    What he said must be heartfelt.


    Rory won''t pretend cordiality in front of him.


    "It''s not easy to get your high evaluation," said Kendrick lightly.


    Rory could not understand his thoughts and said, "I only rely on my years of experience to make a


    judgment based on this proposal, I don''t know other information. I don''t know what projects she has


    worked on before. I can''t guarantee whether there is any deviation. If you appreciate this talent, I will


    Kendrickughed, "No need for that."


    Then he said, "I''ll talk to her personally."


    Having been in the Group for thirty years and having participated in several major strategic


    transformations, Rory had extensive project experience.


    And he was calm and prudent. It was not easy to get praise from him.


    Those who could get his praise must be one in a million potential talents.


    When Kendrick first joined the Group, Rory made up his mind to follow him all his life.


    He believed that Kendrick would lead Ramsey to a new height.


    So even after this reorganization, he still followed without hesitation.


    At this moment, he also understood why Mr. Ramsey was so calm.


    It turned out that there was aprehensive strategy.


    It was well hidden!


    --


    Natalie didn''t know that she was praised by someone else.


    If she knew it, she would get dizzy with sess.


    She put the stocks rmended by Kendrick into her position fast and then had herwyer continue


    to mail a list of ims to the Quinn family.


    Soon, she received a call from Nora.


    It was an unknown phone number.


    Only when she picked it up did she remember that she had put Nora on the cklist.


    No wonder she hadn''t called before.


    She was wrongly med.


    Nora opened her mouth and brought out a series of words that should be muted.


    "Wait a minute," Natalie stopped her, "I''ll make a recording."


    "To ensure the quality of the call, this call will be recorded." Natalie said after pressing the loudspeaker,


    "Pay attention to your words, or you will be used of personal attack."


    Nora was speechless.


    Her blood pressure went up with anger.


    "Natalie, you bitch!" Nora was furious. Finally, she controlled herself, took a deep breath, and said, "I


    won''t let you off the hook for letting someone beat up Sophia like that."


    "That''s what Sophia said," Natalie kindly reminded her, "She was beaten after saying that."


    Nora stamped her feet again in anger.


    "I won''t make amends to you. About Sophia, I am not done with you yet. I will sue you for intentionally


    hurting people." Nora was out of control. She had lived for half her life and had never been bullied like


    this. This person used to be a bastard to step on.


    This made her extremely faceless.


    The anger was also stronger.


    "Before you sue me, Sophia will be sued first," Natalie also kindly reminded, "Don''t forget, she is not


    only intentionally hurting people, but also involved in marital infidelity. If you surf the Inte, you might


    as well check on the hashtag of that male star. There''s a photo of him and Sophia holding hands!"


    They did not capture the front face of Sophia.


    But judging from the back and clothing essories, it was Sophia.


    Before she got married, Sophia had worked in the entertainment circle and was a little-known host.


    "Well... I sincerely suggest that you think twice," Natalie sighed, "Just think about it, do you have to


    spend money in advance to avoid risks, such as using money to shut people up? Otherwise, if her


    husband finds out, I''m afraid she''ll lose more than two teeth!"

 Chapter 39 Hold On, Itll Hurt A Little

    Chapter 39 Hold On, It''ll Hurt A Little


    Chapter 39 Hold On, It''ll Hurt A Little


    "How dare you threaten me?"


    Natalie shook her head as she listened to Nora''s furious voice. She was surprised that Nora could still


    easily lose herposure despite her age.


    However, Natalie was in a good mood today. So, she was willing to listen to Nora''s gibberish.


    "Isn''t it kind of me to remind you?"


    "You..." Nora really wanted to rush to tear Natalie''s mouth so she could shut up.


    "Enough. Stop talking nonsense," Natalie turned expressionless, and her voice was cold, "I''ll sue you if


    you don''t pay me back within seven days. You can wait for the court summons."


    Nora''s sharp voice almost hurt Natalie''s eardrums, "You hit my daughter, and you still want to get


    money? It''s impossible!"


    "I didn''t hit your daughter," Natalie said, "I just treated her like how she treated me. I sshed her with


    soup, that''s all."


    These people were just bullies who preyed on the weak.


    It was obviously Kendrick who had ordered someone to beat her, but they didn''t even dare to mention


    his name.


    They only bullied her.


    Nora turned silent.


    After a while, Nora spoke again. But this time, her tone softened, "We''re family. There''s no need to


    make things tough. How about this, let''s talk about these when we meet."


    Needless to say, Nora was definitely thinking of bad ideas.


    Natalie mocked, "You just turned fifty but your memory has faded? Who''s your family? I sent a


    deration to renunciate my inheritance rights long ago. Remember to urge Reuben to sign it."


    "You..." Nora gasped and said, "You don''t want your stuff anymore, do you?"


    Stuff?


    Natalie couldn''t understand what Nora meant.


    As time passed by, the original owner''s memories were fading until the point of disappearing.


    "The stuff in your box. I''ve kindly kept them for you in the attic. If you don''t want them, I''ll throw them


    away immediately."


    Natalie frowned. She was trying to recall the original owner''s memories desperately.


    Some vague memories emerged.


    They were items important to the original owner from childhood to adulthood. They were locked in a


    box and the original owner tried to get them back before.


    However, Nora refused.


    Without a reason.


    Nora just wanted to embarrass and disgust Natalie. She threw the box directly into the attic and left it


    with ashes.


    Now, the original owner was gone.


    So these things...


    Were the original owner''s relic!


    Natalie sighed in her heart.


    Nora was pleased as she noticed Natalie wasn''t speaking, "If you want to get your things back, you


    need to agree to my request."


    Natalie was silent.


    Nora started to turn unconfident.


    She realized Natalie had changed too much recently.


    Nora couldn''t figure out her next move.


    What if Natalie was stubborn and refused to agree?


    Thinking of this, Nora immediately added, "Don''t worry, I won''t do anything to you. When the time


    talk."


    Nora showed her trump card.


    Natalie pursed her lips, "Send me the time and venue."


    After hanging up the phone, Natalie closed her eyes and tried to recall.


    Unfortunately, she couldn''t remember what was in the box.


    ...


    Nora put away her phone.


    Sophia asked impatiently on the side, "She agreed?"


    Nora nodded.


    "Mom, I really can''t let this go," Sophia said hatefully, "Do you see how my face has turned into?"


    Nora patted Sophia''s back heart-wrenchingly. She gritted her teeth and said, "My good daughter, I''ll


    definitely take revenge for you."


    Sophia was raised and trained as a socialite since she was a child. Her face was her only advantage


    However, her face now was swollen badly like a pig''s head.


    Sophia didn''t dare to go home but told Nora about what happened secretly.


    Nora looked at Sophia''s face distressingly and sighed, "For such a beautiful face to hurt like this, I

    really want to scratch that mongrel''s face immediately!"


    "Mom, you''ve tricked her out to meet you. What are you going to do?"


    A trace of malice crossed Nora''s eyes, "I have my own ns."


    Sophia leaned toward Nora''s ear and muttered.


    Nora nodded, "Okay. Let''s do this."


    Sophia sneered, "This time, we must ruin her," after speaking, her eyes narrowed, and said, "She''s


    arrogant now because of Kendrick. But it''s also quite strange. Why Kendrick is being protective of her?"


    Kendrick had always been a solitary person. Most people who met him wouldment on him as


    gentle and polite.


    Moreover, he seemed to be facing some difficulties in his careertely.


    Therefore, Sophia had never expected that he would order people to hurt her.


    It was shocking.


    "She won''t be able tost long," Nora continued, "I don''t believe Kendrick can still protect her this time!"


    ...


    Natalie was in an excellent mood today.


    Good enough to want to cook.


    Ashlynn asked cautiously, "What do you want to cook?"


    Natalie asked, "What is Kendrick''s favorite dish?"


    Ashlynn, "..."


    Kendrick wasn''t a picky person. It was enough for him to follow the dietitian''s rmendation to


    ensure a reasonable intake of protein-carbs ratio.


    No other requirements.


    "Perhaps, you don''t know?" Natalie turned her face to Alisson, who had just returned from vacation,


    "Alisson, do you know?"


    Alisson, "Mrs. Ramsey, I have always been in charge of home storage and decoration."


    Which meant, she didn''t know either.


    Natalie went to ask Baron.


    Baron said, "Mr. Ramsey is an easy-going person and has no special preferences."


    For so many years, Kendrick was like a delicate machine. He was cold as if he didn''t have any feelings.


    Feelings like joy, anger, and sorrow were deeply hidden from him.


    "Alright!" Natalie lowered her head, "Then, I''ll choose what I like."


    However, Natalie liked so many things.


    After thinking about it for a long time, she said, "I''ll make pae."


    Natalie could use a scalpel brilliantly.


    But for kitchen knife...


    As Ashlynn heard the "bang" sound of the cutting board, she shrunk back in fright and said, "Maybe, I


    should do it!"


    "No, I''m just cutting an onion."


    Soon, Natalie regretted it.


    "My eyes," She closed her eyes and groped around, "Give me a piece of tissue. My eyes are burning."


    Ashlynn hurriedly handed her a piece of tissue and asked her to wash her eyes with water.


    Natalie was ipatible with cooking since she was a child.


    She could easily score high or perfect grades in all subjects in her studies.


    She had skipped grades and graduated first with a medical science doctorate from a top university at


    the age of twenty-two.


    She won a gold medal at the World Championships in the women''s shootingpetition.


    She was a professional Go yer and had defeated AlphaGo''sputer program!


    And others...


    Everything that would involve a brain wasn''t a problem for her.


    Except cooking.


    Genius also had times when they were at a loss.


    "I can''t do it anymore," Natalie said cryingly with her red eyes, "I can''t open my eyes."


    "Please rest. I''ll tell Mr. Ramsey that you cook this," Ashlynn said thoughtfully.


    "Let me rest a while," Natalie sniffed, "I''ll be fine soon."


    Natalie didn''t want to give up.


    She refused to believe that she couldn''t cook a pae.


    Natalie grabbed the palm-sized lobster from the basin, looked at its aggressive appearance, and said,


    "Well, I''vee to dissect you. Hold on, it''ll hurt a little."

 Chapter 40 She Put Her Face Over to Signal Him to Kiss

    Chapter 40 She Put Her Face Over to Signal Him to Kiss


    Chapter 40 She Put Her Face Over to Signal Him to Kiss


    When Kendrick came home, he could smell the aroma of food.


    The Wonder Vi used to be a ce just for him to rest.


    Now, it felt more like home.


    Natalie hurriedly served out the freshly made pae from the kitchen.


    She also put one-eighth of a lemon on top.


    "Today''s dinner is pae," Natalie smiled and said, "I really made it this time."


    The lobsters were all washed and dissected by herself.


    Kendrick frowned, "What happened to your eyes?"


    Natalie''s eyes were red and watery.


    Natalie was embarrassed, "They''re burned by onions."


    Kendrick took the eye drops from the living room and said, "Lift your head and open your eyes."


    When an eye drop dripped down, Natalie closed her eyes.


    The eye drops were all on her eyelids.


    Natalie blinked. She was trying to get the eye drops into her eyes.


    Kendrick was speechless by Natalie''s clumsy look. He took a tissue to wipe her eyelids and said, "Look


    above, don''t move."


    Natalie learned well this time and looked up obediently.


    "Drip."


    When the eye drop dripped down, Natalie closed her eyes again.


    She was responsive and agile.


    Kendrick, "..."


    Kendrick withdrew his hand.


    Natalie said hesitantly, "Maybe, it''s better to do it myself!"


    A hand covered Natalie''s cheek. Kendrick used his fingers to pull open Natalie''s eyes. He threatened


    her without an expression, "If you close your eyes again, I''ll use a cotton swab to hold up your


    eyelids."


    "So fierce!" Natalieined in her heart.


    However, Kendrick''s threatening plus forcing really worked.


    He held Natalie''s eyelids open to prevent her from blinking.


    Kendrick was able to finish dripping the eye drops smoothly.


    Natalie blinked her eyes and said hurriedly, "Try the pae I made."


    Although Kendrick had no special preferences, he never really ate food with a strong taste like


    seafood.


    Nevertheless, he still scooped a spoonful of pae into his mouth.


    He rarely ate seafood, but the pae tasted fragrant, fresh, and lemony. There were no odd smells.


    The vor was good and it was obvious that Natalie had put all of her efforts into this.


    "How was it? How was it?"


    Natalie tried it a while ago and she knew that it tasted good.


    But Natalie still wanted to receive Kendrick''spliment.


    Looking at Natalie''s eager eyes, Kendrick nodded slowly.


    Natalie immediately scooped out arge piece of lobster meat and put it in Kendrick''s bowl.


    "Although it''s my first time cooking this, it''s a sess. It''sparable to those made by chefs with


    three Michelin stars."


    It was valuable to know oneself.


    "You can also be very sessful if you go to sell melons."


    Natalie pushed Kendrick, "You can just agree!"


    Kendrick snorted lightly and didn''t speak. However, he scooped another mouthful of rice into his


    mouth.


    ...


    In the evening, Kendrick was dealing with work in the study as usual. Natalie knocked on the door and


    entered with a ss of milk.


    "I brought you a ss of warm milk."


    She walked over and put the milk on Kendrick''s desk.


    "Thank you," Kendrick replied politely. Then, he handed a document folder on the table to Natalie and


    said, "Look at this."


    Natalie, "For me?"


    "Yeah."


    Natalie picked it up and opened it. It was a letter of appointment from the Ramsey Group.


    Kendrick wanted to assign her directly to the strategic nning department.


    The remuneration was equivalent to that of high-level executives.


    There were even stock options.


    It was a very good remuneration.


    "You can think about it," Kendrick said gently, "You don''t need to rush to give me an answer."


    It seemed that the proposal had really amazed Kendrick. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have made an


    exception to recruit Natalie into thepany.


    Natalie began to evaluate the offer in her heart.


    If she could join the Ramsey Group, she could definitely better assist Kendrick and facilitate his


    business.


    But the problem was, all of her actions would be restricted once she joined thepany. She wouldn''t


    be as free as she was now.


    The Ramsey Group hadplex internal factions.


    Seth has three sons and a daughter. He also had brothers and sisters, all of whom held different


    numbers of shares in the Ramsey Group.


    All of these people were not easy to deal with.


    Moreover, Owen was about to return.


    Natalie must put all her efforts into Kendrick''s treatment to help his recovery.


    So...


    Natalie''s expression turned a little awkward. She pursed her lips and said politely, "Thank you for your


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    kindness, but... I don''t think it''s the right time to join now."


    "If I really want to join the Ramsey Group, I will enter as a shareholder with decision-making power,"


    Natalie said with a firm gaze, "If I join now, there will be many restrictions from various parties. Our


    rtionship would also make me a target for them."


    Even if the annual sry was in the millions.


    She would still be a high-levelborer.


    Without equity, there was no right to speak. Naturally, there wouldn''t be any decision-making power.


    What she wanted was the power to decide everything.


    Kendrick smiled lightly, "You want the Ramsey Group''s shares?"


    "Without shares, there won''t be any power." Natalie didn''t want to hide anything from Kendrick and said


    straightforwardly, "Even if I won''t be affected immediately, it''s difficult to guarantee that there won''t be


    any hindrances when I want to develop new businesses in the future."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick solidly.


    Natalie believed Kendrick would have deeper thoughts about this than she did.


    Natalie knew Kendrick was already nning to kick out his good-for-nothing rtives from the board of


    directors.


    Judging by the rules of trade wars, Kendrick would definitely use his exclusive financialpany to


    force the Ramsey Group to fall into restructuring and reforming in the future.


    From there, he could then expand his shares.


    Now that he had just left the business from the Ramsey Group, he might act even more brazenly.


    Kendrick''s gaze deepened.


    "She''s too smart," he thought.


    Like a genius.


    Kendrick was surprised that a girl who just turned twenty-two years old could think so thoroughly and


    clearly.


    However, as Kendrick recalled the things she did recently, he thought, "I should get used to it."


    Kendrick took the milk, had a sip, and said, "I''ll reserve this letter of appointment. There won''t be any


    expiration date."


    When Kendrick said this, he seemed to forget something.


    He never gave people a second chance.


    Natalie blinked, "You seem to really acknowledge that proposal!"


    Otherwise, Kendrick wouldn''t have issued a letter of appointment directly.


    "Mr. Levy spoke highly of it."


    "This man, can''t you say something nice?" Natalieined in her heart.


    Natalie was in a good mood. So, she decided to not argue with Kendrick. She leaned over, half


    squatted down, and stared at him, "Do you remember what we agreed before?"


    Natalie wanted to be rewarded.


    "Yes," Kendrick replied, "I gave you this appointment letter as a reward."


    But she just rejected it.


    "Then, can I ask for something else?"


    Natalie was close to Kendrick and she just had her bath. Her fragrance was lingering on the tip of


    Kendrick''s nose.


    As Natalie spoke, her curly eyshes flickered. Her crimson lips were moving up and down like rose


    petals.


    Kendrick had never paid attention to Natalie before.


    However, he could now understand that women could be beautiful or ugly.


    Natalie was lively and beautiful but also smart and wise.


    It was hard not to keep someone''s eyes on her.


    Kendrick looked away slightly, "Okay!"


    "Then, do this!" Natalie smiled slyly. She pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and leaned over. She


    pointed her cheek to signal Kendrick to give her a kiss.


    Natalie kissed Kendrick secretlyst time.


    No, there was also a time before that.


    Natalie wondered whether Kendrick would want to repay what she had done.

 Chapter 41 Do My Legs Bother You

    Chapter 41 DoMyLegsBother You


    Chapter 41 Do My Legs Bother You?


    Kendrick could kiss her on the cheek just by turning his face slightly.


    His hand rested on his lips in a fist.


    Unknown feelings bubbled up inside, moring to break out.


    At that moment, he had an impulse .


    He turned his face slowly, as if hesitating, but trying.


    "Ding" sounded three times.


    Several messages popped up on Natalie''s phone.


    They were E-mails from Owen.


    Aftermunicating in Fayman this afternoon, Owen was clearly more excited than she was.


    They discussed academic issues like discovering the new continent.


    Owen didn''t know Natalie''s gender.


    He just called her Professor.


    With such a depth of expertise and an almost transcendent perspective, it was impossible to be


    younger than him.


    Dr. Gentry was already at the top of his profession.


    So this person who was emailing him, must on the higher level.


    He was so excited that he sent three emails in a row.


    Natalie saw his messages, and she remembered.


    She came to the study to talk about treating his legs with him.


    She was not here to flirt.


    "Actually, I have something to discuss with you." She crouched down again and ced her hands on


    Kendrick''s knees.


    Kendrick nodded.


    Natalie took out the phone and showed him Owen''s profile, exining, "Owen, the world''s youngest


    and most elite neurosurgeon and Walker Gill''s favourite student, ising back next month."


    "So?"


    "I''d like to invite him to re-diagnose you."


    Kendrick frowned and his eyes darkened.


    "No." Kendrick refused.


    Natalie was confused.


    "The result won''t be any different." Kendrick was patient with her, exining, "And, I don''t have the


    time."


    "Well..." Natalie made a concession and said, "What about updating your rehabilitation training n? It


    was made a few years ago. The technology has developed with time passed by. It''s time to change."


    Kendrick was unimpressed, saying, "Maintaining the status quo is enough."


    Natalie tried to say more, but he looked at her and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Do my legs bother


    you?"


    He didn''t care about it, or even didn''t thought he could change it.


    But she cared about it.


    She had mentioned it more than once.


    Natalie folded her hands on her knees, rested her chin on them and looked up at him. "We have to


    seize any chance!"


    "As I said, there will be no change." Kendrick was stubborn.


    "There is no cure." Kendrick got angry, "To spend time and energy on a foregone conclusion is a waste.


    There is nothing but disappointment. If this bothers you..."


    He obviously was irritated.


    There was a pause as thest sentence came out.


    The face on his knee was little with big weepy eyes, and she looked at him with anticipation.


    Kendrick looked away and continued, "Try to ignore it."


    "It never bothers me." Natalie''s voice was soft like a spring breeze.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    She has always been strong outside. She could get angry at anytime and anywhere, and never afraid


    of arguing with people.


    But when it came to Kendrick, she always had an infinite amount of tenderness.


    "I just..." Natalie stood up and held on the arms of her wheelchair. She got closer to him and stared him


    in the face, saying, "Want the world to look up to you."


    This man was born to be extraordinary, to rule the world.


    And he worked so harder than anyone else.


    He didn''t deserve to be stuck in this little wheelchair.


    He should be at the top of this world.


    Be admired by all.


    "Will you promise?"


    "No more discuss about this."


    Kendrick''s answer was decisive.


    Natalie lowered her eyes. She couldn''t hide her disappointment.


    But she also understood Kendrick.


    Over the years, nothing had changed.


    He lost hope.


    He just thought all effort was for nothing.


    Natalie stood up straight and said good night.


    The study was soon quiet.


    As the anger churned through his blood, Kendrick clenched the ss on the table.


    He raised his hand to throw it, but then he remembered that she liked to go barefoot into the study, so


    he stopped.


    Over the years, he had given up hope for his legs.


    Even the disability of his legs became a shadow of his mind.


    It brought up a lot of bad memories.


    In fact, it was very difficult to get over his own problem in his mind.


    Kendrick leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.


    When she left, it looked like her eyes was watery.


    Did she cry?


    He said some things that he really shouldn''t say.


    He didn''t even control his emotions well.


    Especiallytely, when he faced her, this problem was so obvious.


    At first he just couldn''t control his happiness, but now he couldn''t control his anger.


    What the hell was wrong with him?


    Natalie was a little upset.


    When she was back, lying in bed, a long list of questions from Owen gave her a headache.


    Was it necessary to ask so many academic questions?


    She really wondered how this guy got his PhD?


    Besides, wasn''t he Hamgradish? Why did he speak Fayman?


    She edited several words. But she thought for a while, then she threw the phone away.


    Well, there was still chance.


    She must need him someday.


    So she couldn''t be offended yet.


    What''s more, he was very modest. His word was full of respect, and she feltfortable.


    Natalie pulled the quilt over herself, but soon she kicked it away!


    She was so annoyed.


    Kendrick was so stubborn, and he couldn''t be persuaded by him.


    She had to find a way.


    She covered her face with her hands and thought, "Nothing can defeat me."


    In the morning Natalie sneezed and felt a pain in her throat.


    The temperatures were set so lowst night.


    And she kicked the covers.


    So she had a cold.


    Natalie went downstairs to find the medicine cab, but there was no cold medicine in it.


    Ashlynn came and asked, "Mrs. Ramsey, what are you looking for?"


    "Cold medicine. But it seems like we don''t have any."


    "Mrs. Ramsey, do you have a cold?" Ashlynn heard Natalie''s strange voice, "I''ll call Dr. House!"


    "No, please go to themunity to buy some medicine. I will give you a list."


    "All right." Ashlynn responded and asked, "Should I call Mr. Ramsey?"


    Natalie shook her head and said nothing.


    Ashlynn was confused. She felt that there was a problem between them, but she dare not to ask.


    The light in the study went outtest night.


    Mr. Ramsey left early in the morning and didn''t even have breakfast.


    But while she was shopping, Kendrick called her himself.


    He was silent for a few moments before he asked she went to 79 Culture Road to pick up the suit for


    dry-cleaning.


    Ashlynn said, "OK, Mr. Ramsey. But I''m out buying some medicine for Mrs. Ramsey. She''s sick, but I


    went to several drugstores and couldn''t find the medicine she asked me to buy."


    "What medicine?"


    Ashlynn stared at the name on her phone and read it. Compound paracetamol and Amantadine


    Hydrochloride Tablets.


    Kendrick frowned, asking, "Why don''t you consult Dr. House first? Is she a doctor?"


    Ashlynn was afraid to answer.


    "Is it serious?" Kendrick asked again.

 Chapter 42 My Heart Was in Pain.

    Chapter 42 My Heart Was in Pain.


    Chapter 42 My Heart Was in Pain.


    Ashlynn faltered, "It seems serious."


    Kendrick was unsatisfied with her answer.


    "Mrs. Ramsey hasn''t eaten all day." Ashlynn said carefully, "Would you like toe back?"


    Kendrick was speechless.


    What was wrong with these people now?


    He pressed his brow and said, "There is no such medicine as you said. Go to consult Dr. House."


    "All right."


    "Send me the list of medicines she wants you to buy."


    Kendrick added.


    After receiving the list, he passed it on to a research and development specialist in the pharmaceutical


    industry.


    The specialist replied: [From the name it should be the upgraded version of Compound paracetamol


    and Amantadine Hydrochloride Tablets. Currently it''s not on the market. But I know there are biological


    Kendrick put his finger to his lips.


    After a moment he tapped on the table.


    How did she know about a drug that won''t be on the market for years?


    Natalie''s smiling face sprang to mind.


    But it was like a mist through them.


    It was hard to see clearly.


    But it made him really want to disperse the mist.


    He lifted his face slightly and exhaled, then read the n he had just received from the strategy


    department.


    Soon, Kendrick made a internal call and let Nigel in. He threw the n to him and said, "Why don''t you


    ask Mr. Decker if this n was written by his seven-year-old son? Why did he present such a terrible


    n?"


    Nigel responded, "I''ll get your message right away."


    When he went out, he immediately sent a message to a chat group of his own friends.


    [Mr. Ramsey is in a bad mood today. Orange alert!]


    Many "Got it" were immediately disyed on the screen.


    Nadia typed. [Mr. Ramsey was absent-minded during the morning meeting yesterday. I seriously


    suspect it was an internal family conflict.]


    Nigel was also puzzled. There had been family conflicts before.


    But Mr. Ramsey never brought his emotions to work.


    In fact, Mr. Decker''s scheme was just ordinary without any problem.


    Maybe this n was not good, but it was not that terrible like writing by his son.


    But Mr. Ramsey was unsatisfied.


    He even disliked it.


    It was 2 p.m. when Ashlynn got back from the medicine. She hurried upstairs and knocked on the door


    of the master bedroom.


    "Mrs. Ramsey, I''m sorry. I had to go to several drugstores to get the medicines you asked, but I failed.


    So I asked Dr. House for some other cold medicine."


    Natalie was lying in bed in a daze. She was awaken by Ashlynn''s words.


    She forgot that the medicines she listed were thetest cold cures developed in her own world.


    The world probably hadn''t worked out yet, or was working on it but hadn''t approved it.


    "It''s all right." Natalie smiled and took the pill box. "This also works."


    She was careless.


    She forgot these things.


    "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"


    After took the medicine, Natalie touched her stomach and said, "I want bibimbap and m chowder."


    "Well, I''ll make it for you. Please take a rest."


    Nataliey on the bed and picked up the pill box.


    It was a primary version of the specific medicine.


    She pressed her lips together and thought she must be more careful.


    The drug made her drowsy. Shey back and heard a noise of the car downstairs.


    The door was opened after a unknown time.


    The sound of the wheelchair came closer.


    Natalie secretly opened a crack in her eye and looked. When he came she closed her eyes.


    "Have you taken your medicine?"


    Kendrick''s voice was cool.


    She didn''t answer.


    So she didn''t want to talk to him?


    Kendrick raised his hand and tried to brush the hair out of her ear.


    When his fingers just touched the underside of her earlobe, she giggled, said, "Stop tickling!"


    Now Ashlynn had made her meal and ced it on the coffee table.


    Kendrick stopped and said, "Let''s have dinner!"


    Natalie didn''t answer. Suddenly she coughed violently. Leaning against the head of the bed, she took a


    breath and said weakly, "I feel terrible."


    "Where?"


    "Heart!" Natalie looked at him with puppy eyes and pointed to the position of her heart.


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He raised his eyebrows, asking, "I thought you caught a cold."


    "Yes. But it caused by the anxiety in my heart."


    "What anxiety do you have?"


    ''You''ll be angry again! Natalie pretended, "I''d rather not to say."


    Kendrick was silent.


    After a while, he asked, "So you will be sick all the time if I don''t promise you?"


    Natalie answered, "Anxiety is hard to disappear. I''m wasting away day by day."


    Kendrick felt speechless.


    "Do you know I hate it when people bargain with me?"


    She didn''t just bargain with him, and she asked more and more..


    She was testing his bottom line, and he made a concession again and again.


    "I know." Natalie nodded and said, "But I have such a personality. I will fell ufortable if I don''t


    achieve my goal. Over time it will be a heart disease."


    She sighed, like she knew it was wrong but she just couldn''t help it.


    After thinking all night, Kendrick was calm and rational, saying, "Just be clear, the result will not be


    changed. It''s futile. Are you sure you can bear this kind of disappointment?"


    He didn''t care.


    There was no hope.


    So he wouldn''t be disappointed.


    But the keen look of Natalie showed that she must be hoping for a good result.


    "I''m not that vulnerable." "Said Natalie.


    As a doctor, she was at peace with it for she saw too many impotence in the world.


    But Kendrick had a point.


    The weakness to see all effort and hope were finally in vain.


    It was really hard to ept.


    "Regardless of the oue, I want to give it my best shot." Natalie''s eyes were firm. "I will always be


    with you."


    I''ll always be with you.


    This was probably the most beautiful lover''s words in the world.


    There wasn''t any sweet words in this sentence.


    But the words prated directly into the heart.


    No matter how cold a heart was, there would be some ripples and throbs because of this sentence.


    Kendrick said, "Get up and have dinner first."


    Natalie looked at him, asking, "Do you promise me?"


    Kendrick looked away and said, "Yes!"


    Natalie immediately pulled back the covers and said, "Let''s have dinner now!"


    "So you are good now?"


    "Yes." Natalie just said a word, then instantly pressed her temples. "I just took medicine. My head is still


    a little dizzy. How about you feed me?"


    "You ask too much!"


    He spoiled her!


    She was not just pushing her luck. She was bold and pretended.


    She began coughing violently again.


    Kendrick felt speechless again.


    But he was tricked, too.


    He answered everything she said.


    By now, Kendrick had voluntarily scooped up some m chowder, blowing on it to feel that it was not


    too hot before feeding it to her mouth.


    Compared with before, there was clearly a sharp improvement.


    Natalie was happy secretly as she ate.


    Kendrick was not so hard to persuade after all.


    But then he suddenly said, "Ashlynn didn''t get the medicine you asked, so I told her to ask the doctor to


    get you a new one."


    Natalie almost bit her tongue.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yes, yes, yes." She nodded in a panic: "I also realized that I had made a mistake in writing a few more


    words."


    "It''s not a mistake. The medicine you ask was on the market yet."


    Kendrick suddenly stared at her with his ck and deep eyes.

    Chapter 43 It Was My Wife Who Was So Great.


    That sounded like a trap.


    Natalie refused to fall into his trap. "Well, I''m not wrong. It''s just not on the market, is it?" She went on


    with an exmation, said, "I''m a prophet."


    Kendrick stuffed a spoonful of rice into her mouth.


    He tried to make her shut up.


    "I was wrong to send you to the strategy department."Kendrick said suddenly.


    Natalie was all ears.


    "You should be a stand-up!"


    Natalie quickly covered her mouth.


    Her little gestures and expressions were very rich.


    Kendrick looked down, but he couldn''t hide his smile.


    "Though I can''t work inthe strategy department, I can be a strategy consultant." Natalie said, "Just pay


    me the normal market price."


    Kendrick said, "That will be my personal ount expenditure."


    Thisexpenditure couldn''t be onthe corporate ount.


    Natalie squinted and said,"Whata capitalist! You care every penny."


    "I''m ttered!" Kendrickughed. "Tell me, how much is in your ount?"


    Natalie answered, "Not a lot. It''s not the time yet, but I''m getting there."


    "What are you going to do with it?" Kendrick asked again, "It''s boring just to make money with money."


    She was going to invest in biomedical research and development.


    But now her money was a drop in the bucket.


    She needed to make a lot money.


    So that the development of medical science would be promoted.


    "For something great!" Natalie kept him in suspense, "When you hear this thing, you will be surprised


    and highly praise this person. You will be impressed by her ambition and dream. Then you find out, it is


    your wife!"


    She blinked her eyes in a clever way, asking for praise.


    Kendrick showed a weak smile.


    He was so handsome when he smiled. His eyes were down, and the corners of his lips were slightly


    raised. His cold and serious face softened.


    The light of the setting sun fell on him and there was a halo with him.


    Like a god descending.


    Natalie thought that she was so happy to see him happy.


    In the evening, Natalie turned on herputer.


    She started emailing Owen back.


    [What I''m talking about is based on academic theory. There is no precedent in the world to restore the


    ability to move by promoting spinal cord neural stem cells. If sessful, it could greatly improve the


    development of neuroscience. Since you are Walker''s student, you must know Kendrick of the Ramsey


    Group. He''s been paralyzed for years by nerve cells damage in his spinal cord. If he can walk again, it


    will shock the world. You will be the man who leads this era.]


    She clicked the Send.


    Natalie felt like she was running a pyramid scheme.


    She tried her best to fool Owen.


    But he got something, too.


    Once sessful,


    His name would be in medical history.


    He would feel fulfilled all his life.


    To her surprise, Owen didn''t sleep yet and replied her soon.


    [Dear professor, I''m surprised that you are Hamgradish. We canmunicate in Hamgradish. I have


    analyzed the condition of Mr. Ramsey, but I have never had a chance to see him in person. In recent


    years, his willingness to ept diagnosis has declined, perhaps because he lost hope and does not


    want to waste time. If possible, I hope to see himand help him to stand up again. My teacher has been


    trying to get him back to mobility for years, but I''m not sure he''ll agree to do this. He''s a man with ego.]


    Look at Owen.


    His words were so veiled.


    He''s a man with ego.


    He meant that Kendrick was stubborn and it was hard to persuade him, right?


    [Don''t worry about it. Once you return, someone will contact you!]


    [Why are you so sure?]


    Natalie couldn''t answer this question.


    She wondered why he had so many questions.


    [Just keep contact. No questions!]


    Owen understood.


    In mysterious ancient Eastern countries, there were some mysterious people who couldn''t show their


    true identity, a hidden master, because of fate limited.


    This professor must be one of them.


    Kendrick was in his room reading on his Pad.


    Owen''s profile was on the screen.


    He was a leading expert in neurosurgeon.


    A paper just published in Science showed that paralyzed rats could regain mobility after surgery.


    This caseid the theoretical foundation for human recovery.


    And he was very young.


    He was only 26 years old.


    But he had such cutting-edge research achievement.


    With a talent like his, the sky is the limit..


    Kendrick looked down at his legs.


    He managed a wry smile.


    Restore mobility?


    Was it possible?


    He had no hope about this.


    But he was willing to give it a try.


    It was not just because she begged.


    Deep down his heart, maybe he had expectations, too.


    Getting up again and standing by her side.


    His finger ran unconsciously across the page.


    It was a cartoon.


    The boy held the girl high.


    His eyes were gentle, like stars.


    Group meeting of Ramsey Group on Monday.


    Kendrick presented to shareholders his vision and n for the hotel business, which was moving


    toward smart hotels, with twice market share growth by the end of the year.


    This was his goal and his promise.


    He would be responsible for all the results.


    He would also runch electronics business of Ramsey Group.


    He ned to build the basic framework through merger and acquisition.


    After the meeting, Nigel was pushing him back to BuildingA when his uncle, Melvin Ramsey, stopped


    him.


    Melvin was over 40 years old, unmarried but had lot of women.


    His face too greasy and puffy.


    "Kendrick!" He calledin an elderway, "You move too fast.Oh no, I forgot you can''t move."


    Nigel clenched his fists behind him.


    "I know you want to do something, but you have to think about your health too!" Melvin disdained,


    saying, "Don''t try to take too much. Take too much will kill you!"


    Kendrick smiled faintly, answered, "Melvin, you gave me the hotel business, and I built the electronic


    business. Everyone finds it troublesome and is unwilling to take it. For the profitable part like finance


    or real estate, I didn''t even think about it."


    One who couldcontrol his emotions always prevails.


    "Melvin, you''ve always been wary of me. There''s no need." Kendrick raised his face and looked humble


    as a junior, saying, "You are an elder, I respect you all the time. You also know that my health condition


    makes me fail to achieve many things, so I just want to spend my time doing something that others do


    not want to do."


    Melvin brushed his unbuttoned suit behind him. His shoes lightly tap on the ground with his hands on


    hips,


    It looked greasy and disdainful.


    And it made people want to punch him in the face.


    Kendrick said with a gentle voice, "I know the boundaries. The cake is limited, and I won''t take your


    cake. But the bigger the cake will be, the more we will share, right?"


    Melvin condescended and looked at him, then he kicked his wheelchair, saying, "You''re not stupid. But


    Nancy told me that you bullied her a while ago and made her husband p her. Is that true?"


    Kendrickughed, asking, "How can I do that?"


    Melvin rubbed his chin and thought it was unlikely.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He guessed that Nancy, that idiot, talked crazy after arguing with her husband .


    After Melvin left, Kendrick turned a cold face, and was full of atmosphere of anger.


    Back in Building A, he asked Nigel, "Who dealt with Melvin''sst drunk driving hit-and-run?"


    "It dealt directly by the head of the police department."


    "Break the news to Nancy and tell her that Melvin ns to buy out the rest of her shares at a low price


    to oust her from the board."

 Chapter 44 Kendrick Kissed Her.

    Chapter 44 Kendrick KissedHer.


    Chapter 44 Kendrick Kissed Her.


    Nigel asked, "Are you going to help her?"


    Kendrick sneered, asking, "Why will I help her?"


    Nigel asking, "So why do you want her to know it?"


    "I''m ready to kick her out, too." Kendrick spoke calmly.


    Nancy''s shares had been reduced by cashing out a lot in early years. Now her share was too small to


    have power in the group.


    She would be in a panic after knowing this.


    His mother naturally didn''t want to take a side. It were her brother and sister. It was wrong to pick


    anyone.


    For years, Kendrick''s uncle only cared his own interest.


    He stayed out of disputes among his siblings.


    Then Nancy had to ask Kendrick for help through her husband Chad.


    Kendrick would agree.


    He would took Nancy''s shares, and be defeated by Melvin at the board meeting, so he could kick her


    out of the broad.


    Nigel couldn''t understand.


    Kendrick didn''t exin, saying, "I''m going to Foxley on business tomorrow. Tell Natalie about my trip."


    "All right."


    "What''s special in Foxley?" "Kendrick looked up and asked.


    "Special food!" He emphasized.


    "Rose pancake, roasted duck." Nigel only thought of these two.


    "Well!" Kendrick nodded and casually said, "I think she likes them all."


    She meant no one but Mrs. Ramsey.


    As he said this, as if he remembered something, a faint but distinct smile showed on her face.


    Nigel thought his boss really fell in love.


    Natalie received the message and asked, "Did you buy my ticket?"


    Nigel found it was hard to answer.


    "This business trip is hasty, and I will take care of the president."


    Natalie said, "I''ll pack his bags."


    Nigel said, "I''ll send you the list."


    When she was very young, her teacher''s wife always helped her teacher pack his luggage when he


    was on business trips, and she also helped asionally.


    It was a very sweet thing to help with packing for a husband who had a a business trip.


    She had fantasized about her marriage, but could never see her husband''s face clearly.


    Because she hadn''t fell in love with anyone in so many years.


    Now she had been a wife for quite some time.


    She adapt it well.


    Kendrick''s things were simple. Natalie followed Nigel''s list to pack them up for him.


    Baron would follow him this time.


    After all, it was a three-day business trip.


    He used to do all the packing.


    Now Natalie did this job, so it was a lot easier for him.


    When she collected Kendrick''s underwear, she noticed that the men''s underwear were mostly boxers,


    and the front of them were bulging.


    Inexplicably, she thought of something and blushed.


    And, she heard from her best friend.


    A man with a straight nose.


    There was usually bigger.


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Well, Kendrick''s nose was like a slide.


    Natalie pped herself in the face.


    What was she thinking about?


    She totally thought something she shouldn''t think.


    She folded them for him at once and put them in the trunk. Then she exhaled.


    Ashlynn who took the suit back saw her and asked in surprise, "Mrs. Ramsey, do you still have a


    fever?"


    Natalie said, "I... No."


    "Why is your face so red?"


    "I just had a sympathetic excitation, increased production of catechmines like norepinephrine,


    dted capiries, and rapid congestion in the subcutaneous tissue."


    Ashlynn was totally shocked and confused.


    Kendrick had a three-day business trip in Foxley.


    He went to partner with an established local smart hotel as a pilot to promote the transformation of


    Ramsey Group hotels.


    It was an important opening battle.


    So he had to go.


    "Rose pancake, chestnut pie, roasted duck..." Natalie said the name of the snack, then asked, "Can


    you bring all this?"


    "Yes!" Kendrick asks, "Is there anything else besides food?"


    She couldn''t think of anything but food.


    "I''ll go for three days." He said, "Come back on Friday."


    "Then I''ll take you to the airport tomorrow!"


    "The airport is too far away. Get some sleep!" Kendrick''s voice was soft, saying, "It cost a lot of time on


    the way."


    "I''ve packed everything for you. I''ll take you downstairs tomorrow."


    He nodded, and asked, "Call me if you need. Sometimes I can''t read the message on time."


    "Don''t worry. I won''t bother you." Natalie smiled and said, "After nine o''clock at night, I will make a


    video call."


    "OK!"


    Natalie was a little unhappy for she hadn''t seen him for three days.


    She seemed to have been used to such days.


    She could see him every day.


    Talk to him.


    Unconsciously.


    She had been around him for so long.


    In the evening, she was in his room, pointing to the suitcase and saying, "Everything is ording to the


    list. I have checked it. And I put the essential oil for sleeping in it. Do you remember how to use it?"


    Kendrick looked at her and said nothing.


    "Have you forgotten? Natalie pulled the oil out of the suitcase, then sat back down on the bed and said,


    "Spread your hands out."


    What was the matter with this guy?


    Last time he must be absent-minded and didn''t listen to her.


    So he forgot so soon.


    Natalie dropped the oil on his palm and taught him again. She sighed, "What should you do without


    me?"


    Kendrick said, "You promised you would always be here for me, remember?"


    "Yes!" Natalie rubbed the oil on his temples, stuck out her little finger and said, "Pinky swear!"


    Kendrick reached out.


    "I will always be here for you." Natalie hooked his finger and said solemnly, "Always means always, and


    I won''t leave you for even an hour!"


    Kendrick hooked her little finger, too.


    He stared into the girl''s rosy eyes.


    There was a voice inside of him right now.


    [Natalie, don''t lie to me. I don''t what I will do.]


    It was like bursting from his soul.


    It was abrupt, but clear enough.


    Kendrick got up at five in the morning to go to the airport. It was just dawn.


    When he came downstairs, Natalie was waiting for him.


    She got up early today.


    She used to sleep at this hour.


    "I''ll have breakfast with you." She said, "Then I''ll take you to your car."


    In the little courtyard, at the end of the farewell, she hesitated a moment in the morning light, and


    asked: "You have nothing say to me?"


    She frowned slightly.


    There was hope in her eyes.


    It was like a dewy white orchid on an early summer morning.


    Fresh and dainty.


    Kendrick raised his hand, saying, "Come here."


    Natalie bent down and put her ear to it.


    A kiss fell on her ear.


    He kissed gently, like a feather brushing her heart.


    Her eyes widened.


    What?


    Kendrick kissed her.


    The first time!


    Active!


    Kiss her.


    "I''m going!"


    The man''s husky, deep voice rang out before pulling her back to reality.


    She was speechless for several seconds, then she waved, and said, "Take care"


    As the Maybach 62s drove away, Natalie was still standing there.


    She touched her ear.


    There seemed to be some of his temperature still there.


    It was as if she could feel his warm breath on her cheek.


    Ethereal but true enough.


    Natalie smiled, and slowly her smile got bigger and bigger.


    At the end, only a smile left on her beautiful and delicate face.

 Chapter 45 Im Asking You to Shut Up

    Chapter 45 I''m Asking You to Shut Up


    Chapter 45 I''m Asking You to Shut Up


    The morning breeze was a bit cool inte summer.


    With the wind blowing, her heart began to beat fiercely out of joy.


    He gave his response.


    It was like a candle burning in a dark room, and a distant star in the night sky.


    The light was faint.


    But it made her more determined.


    Natalie walked back to the hall of the vi through the courtyard and said hello to everyone she met.


    Although she smiled in a consciously restrained way, it could still be found at first nce how happy


    she was at the moment.


    She came back to the bedroom. She found it hard to hold back and wanted to share her joy.


    She didn''t realize that she was in another world until she took out her phone.


    She had no rtives or friends.


    Those who were in her social circle were not her friends at all.


    Finally, Natalie opened Twitter and registered a new ount.


    She wrote down her first tweet.


    It was about him.


    "He kissed me, and he took the initiative! My mood at the moment is beyond words. I only feel the sky


    blue and the wind warm, and I''m stepping on a ball of cotton. I want to smile and keep smiling."


    ...


    Foxley was located in Bannworth.


    There were many temples.


    Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remained; Of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain.


    Kendrick got into the ck van immediately after the nended.


    Nigel took out the tablet PC and reported the itinerary, "We are expected to arrive at the hotel at ten


    o''clock, and no arrangement will be made this afternoon. You can have a good rest, and in the evening


    I will send you an email about tomorrow''s meeting."


    Kendrick straightened up the cufflinks in his shirt and said, "I will go to Saint Hill Temple this afternoon


    to meet Mr. Shaffer."


    Nigel wrote down quickly, "I will arrange it for you."


    Twenty years ago, Kendrick came to Bannworth with his parents when he was 6 years old.


    His father got a favorable draw for him in Saint Hill Temple, and entreated Mr. Shaffer to tell fortunes.


    "Noble but vulnerable"


    Mr. Shaffer was rather honest.


    He said directly that it was the result.


    Although his father was displeased, he didn''t show it.


    Unexpectedly, the draw turned out to be a prophecy.


    Knowing that Kendrick wasing, Mr. Shaffer started the prohibition in advance and closed the door


    to refuse any visitor.


    He didn''t do so because Kendrick was Mr. Ramsey in the Ramsey family, but because it was Kendrick.


    After Kendrick arrived at the temple, he was invited to the meditation room where Mr. Shaffer was


    waiting for him.


    "I''vee to pray!" said Kendrick.


    Surprise registered on Mr. Shaffer''s old face.


    What Kendrick had said many years ago still echoed in his ears clearly.


    "I don''t believe in these things or fate."


    Kendrick smiled, "I didn''te here for myself."


    Mr. Shaffer calmed himself down, with a smile showing in his eyes, "It must be someone rather


    important who makes you bother toe here."


    The temple was on the top of the mountain. Obviously, it was quite difficult for Kendrick to go up.


    Besides, he even came here from Goldburg, which was thousands of miles away.


    But Kendrick just smiled faintly, saying nothing.


    "Please write down his or her birthday and your blessings on the cloth." Mr. Shaffer said, "I will hang it


    in the courtyardter to make it take all the anima in both heaven and earth, and good fortune."


    Kendrick followed his words.


    Mr. Shaffer put away the cloth. He then took out a protective talisman and gave it to Kendrick, "Wish


    you all safe and sound!"


    Kendrick took the protective talisman, "Thank you!"


    Mr. Shaffer stared at Kendrick. At that moment, the luck brought him wisdom, and thus, with papers


    and a pen, he wrote down a word suddenly, "Yi"!


    Kendrick frowned slightly.


    Mr. Shaffer didn''t exin it, but just gave him the word.


    The word meant "easy" and "change" in Hamgradish.


    Did it mean that his future path in life would be smooth and easy without many difficulties, or that


    there had been some changes around him?


    Or both!


    ...


    Natalie made a video call to Kendrick in the evening.


    Her face just appeared on the screen as he answered the call.


    "Here suddenlyes your little darling!"


    She raised her fingers on her head like rabbit ears.


    Kendrick just smiled.


    He didn''t know how to get on with women, and often kept a distance from them throughout.


    He was always a bit inexperienced when he faced Natalie.


    "Did you have a meeting today? Or have some rest?" She asked him eagerly.


    "I didn''t have meetings today."


    He didn''t rest either.


    He had spent an afternoon going to the temple to pray for her, and got a protective talisman presented


    by Mr. Shaffer himself. He nned to give it to her when he went back.


    But now he would have to keep quiet about it.


    "Have you had dinner yet?"


    She had asked him to eat regrly before he left. As she knew busy schedule trips often made


    businessmen have irregr meals, she nagged a lot about it.


    "I have." He nodded.


    At that moment, however, Nigel swiped the card and came in, shouting, "Mr. Ramsey, the delivery


    arrives. Well, the hotel is a bit remote and I can''t find much delicious food as it is ratherte at the


    moment. We''ll have to make do. Well, I''ll unpack the take-out box first."


    They had dealt with work in the hotel since they came back from the mountain.


    It was 9 o''clock in the twinkling of an eye.


    Kendrick put his hand to his forehead with a sense of helplessness.


    "You didn''t eat any food?" A girl''s delicate voice came from the speaker, "How dare you lie to me!"


    Kendrick nced at Nigel.


    Nigel was so frightened that his legs shook.


    He now started to know that he had said something wrong.


    "Supper!" He said loudly, "We''re having supper!"


    Natalie thought that she was not a fool at all.


    "Let me see what the food is?"


    Obediently, Nigel handed over the packed lunch box and said, "Chicken porridge, fried noodles and


    sd."


    It was rather simple.


    But that was the meal on the business trip.


    Kendrick was not someone who had high standards for meals. He often forgot to eat and sleep when


    he worked, so naturally he didn''t mind the food at all.


    "All right. Enjoy your meal then!" She suddenly raised her tone after saying that, "And don''t have an


    irregr or unbnced diet when you are outside, get it?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Nigel nced at Kendrick''s face secretly.


    Well, it was the first time that Kendrick had been instructed like this.


    He nodded, "All right!"


    Nigel was thinking, "What? How can he be so obedient?"


    The phone was hung up.


    Nigel wore a long face and said, "I... I didn''t know Mrs. Ramsey was checking!"


    She never asked when Kendrick used to be on business trips.


    "Is Mrs. Ramsey angry?"


    "Mr. Ramsey, then... you won''t be scolded when you go back, will you?"


    "How about taking photos of everything you will eat tomorrow and sending them to Mrs. Ramsey?"


    Nigel kept talking.


    Kendrick handed him the noodles in the packing box, "Have some more noodles."


    Nigel was just ttered.


    He thought that the men in love would indeed be different.


    Kendrick even knew how to care about his subordinates.


    It would be rather easier to apply for a holidayter, wouldn''t it!


    "Thank you, Mr. Ramsey. How do you know that I love fried noodles?" asked Nigel.


    "..." Kendrick said, "I''m asking you to shut up!"


    Even the food couldn''t zip Nigel''s damned mouth.


    Nigel, "o(¨i ¨i)o"


    ...


    Kendrick did listen to Natalie.


    He took a photo of breakfast for Natalie when he got up early in the morning.


    And he added a message.


    It showed that he had a regr diet and a full intake of all the nutrient elements.


    Natalie was sitting on the bed. As she saw the message on her phone, her heart melted involuntarily.


    He did take what she had said to his heart.


    Although he didn''t like to talk a lot, he always proved it with actions.


    It was nice to be valued.


    She cupped her chin, with a faint smile ying round her lips.


    She had just sat there for a long time. It seemed that she had thought of something, and she thus kept


    smiling.


    She stopped until her phone beeped.


    She picked it up and had a look.


    It was Nora''s message, saying the time and ce.


    Nora wanted to meet her.


    Natalie frowned and pursed her thin lips.


    Damn!

 Chapter 46 Framed by the Vicious Stepmother, or Insignificant Cannon Fodder

    Chapter 46 Framed by the Vicious Stepmother, or Insignificant Cannon Fodder


    Chapter 46 Framed by the Vicious Stepmother, or Insignificant Cannon Fodder


    Nora wanted to meet Natalie in the hotel suit.


    Nora said that she would just discuss business with someone that day and thus decided to meet


    Natalie here for convenience.


    Natalie stroked her chin.


    Normally, those vicious stepmother, or insignificant cannon fodders, would love to choose the hotel as


    the ce for meeting when they wanted to frame things up.


    Was it because the hotel was greatly hidden and thus suitable for doing something bad,


    Or because the author couldn''t think of other ces but hotels based on his limited imagination?


    "All right. The hotel suit then."


    To go or not to go? Certainly she would go there.


    She wanted to get back something belonging to the original owner.


    Nora, who was a mad woman, might really throw them away. After all, she was rather wicked and was


    not afraid of being punished in the end.


    Naturally, Natalie would not meet Nora empty-handed without any preparation. She called the front


    desk of the Crystal Hotel immediately.


    "Hello, will you book 2506 and 2510, these two double-rooms for Thursday and Friday for me please?"


    The room number Nora gave her was 2508!


    She just booked the rooms on its both sides.


    "All right. Please wait a moment!"


    "How would you like to pay?"


    "I will arrive at the hotel and pay the bill before noon on Thursday. Just reserve them for me."


    Natalie hung up the phone and then called Brock Page, the head of Kendrick''s bodyguards.


    Brock used to be an agent, having worked for the CIA for 10 years.


    He was expert at monitoring and intelligence analysis.


    Of course, for the outsiders, he was just a bodyguard who looked good at fighting.


    Very few people knew who he really was.


    Kendrick also concealed Brock''s identity deliberately.


    Natalie had read the novel before and thus knew the truth.


    Kendrick was indeed a mogul. Those who were around him all hid their lights under a bushel.


    Even Nigel, who looked rather young and a bit childish, was a graduate of Faymany Institute of


    Technology and a top talent in the field of data analysis.


    Brock was quite surprised as he received Natalie''s call.


    "I''m afraid I need your help." Natalie said without preamble.


    "Please move on, Mrs. Ramsey."


    "From now on, just monitor everything happening in room 2508 of Crystal hotel for me, immediately."


    Brock didn''t give any reply, "..."


    "There is no need to report it to Mr. Ramsey." Natalie said, "He is on a business trip somewhere else. I


    will tell him about it personally on Friday.""


    He remained silent.


    "Look, my request is within your duties." She said word by word, "You will not only protect Mr. Ramsey,


    but also me, his wife. I am making this request to you out of my own security reasons! Do you have any


    other questions?"


    "At your service!" Brockpromised, "I will do everything as you order."


    ...


    On Thursday night, an edited recording was sent from Brock.


    He reported to her, "The invalid nk recording was deleted and the rest waspressed. It will take


    about an hour to listen. They were rather cautious as they used gestures many times during the


    conversation. For now I have no idea what they are going to do."


    It must be something bad.


    Otherwise, they wouldn''t do it in such a secretive way.


    Natalie put on the earphones to listen to the recordings.


    She didn''t get much useful information.


    But she found Nora''s voice. It was not that clear.


    She could only hear some words vaguely like "hypnosis", "injection" and "live broadcast".


    The connection of these words was just enough to send shivers down Natalie''s spine.


    She folded her arms, with coldness in her face.


    "Well, Nora!"


    "No matter what you want to do, after this week, I''m sure that you will regret being alive."


    ...


    Natalie arrived at room 2508 on time at 2:00 pm on Friday.


    She raised her hand and knocked on the door.


    It was Nora who came out and opened the door.


    "You are alone?"


    "Aren''t you alone?" asked Natalie.


    "Of course I am!" Nora said hurriedly. Seeing that Natalie stood still at the door, she stretched out her


    hand and pulled her in, "Juste in. Why are you standing there?"


    Natalie pursed her lips and walked inside.


    It was a big room, nothing odd.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "I have brought you what you want." Nora pointed to the box on the sofa and said, "I haven''t touched


    it."


    It was a small wooden box, a bit quaint, with a lock outside.


    "It''s not something valuable. What''s the fuss about?" Nara sneered, and lowered her voice, "Sure


    enough, you don''t even know the time of day at all. Just look like a petty weenie."


    Natalie ignored her sarcasm. As she picked up the box, she weighed and shook it.


    She heard the sound of books knocking together.


    She put the box down again and asked, "Where is the document signed by Reuben?"


    "It is here. Don''t you ever push me." Nora said angrily, "Your father is furious with you. Look, how can


    you do something like that as a daughter? What''s your grievance? How can you disown your sister


    because of a little conflict? What did I say before? Well, you are just an ungrateful brat, and you totally


    forget our love and care having given you for so many years."


    "That''s enough!" Natalie interrupted her impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense!"


    Nora was speechless.


    She stuck out her fingers. As she saw Natalie was so stubborn, she became so angry that she could


    say nothing but "you" a few times. Finally she fell on the sofa and then she pushed the document over.


    Natalie became delighted as she looked at Nora''s reaction.


    She pounded the document, "Did I allow you to add conditions?"


    How could Nora ask her to pay for the fosterage?


    Nora said cheekily, "This kind of money is nothing. Look, we have fed you, clothed you, and let you


    study for so many years. Don''t you know how much you have spent? You aren''t grateful at all, and you


    even ask forpensation. You are simply shameless!"


    "You took some money from the dowry of the Ramsey family, didn''t you?" Natalie threw the document


    directly in her face and said, "Ask Reuben to sign the original version and fax over. And..." She


    squinted, "Thepensation is two hundred thousand dors. How much are you going to pay then?"


    She didn''t ask for too much money.


    Fifty thousand dors.


    It was all right!


    "Eighty thousand dors, at most." Nora gnashed her teeth.


    In thete summer, it was a bit stuffy in the room. Natalie made a fanning motion with her hands. She


    looked up, finding that the central air conditioner was on. But the wind was not cool at all.


    "Just turn down the air conditioner." Natalie gave her instructions.


    "That''s the way it works." Nora rolled her eyes. She''ve had enough. What an arrogant bitch Natalie


    was.


    "How about having some drink!" After a pause, she said again with a warm tone, "I just took it out of the


    refrigerator and haven''t opened it yet!"


    Natalie''s eyes fell on the drink on the coffee table. She looked like a disappointed father talking to his


    son, "Then why don''t you open it hurriedly and pour some drink for me?"


    Nora almost broke the rtionship with Natalie.


    Natalie looked at her with nonchnt ease and an enigmatic visage.


    Nora held back her anger. She poured a ss of orange juice and put some ice cubes from the ice


    bucket. And then she pushed the ss to her.


    "I don''t like orange juice. Give me the milk!"


    Nora still stood for it. She poured a ss of milk and put some ice cubes in it.


    Natalie picked up the ss and handed it to her mouth. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Nora''s


    evil leer, she put down the ss and said, "How much did you just say? Eighty thousand dors? Well,


    it''s all right. I always hate making a fuss. Now transfer the money to me then."


    "After the milk!" Nora cured her lips, "I''m right here. The money is nothing to me at all."


    "Money first!" Natalie was determined, "That''s what Ie here for."


    She made a fanning motion with her hands, looking like she was absolutely boiling.


    Nora was nning secretly, guessing that Natalie would be unable to bear the heat and thus drink


    water. She took a grip on herself and transferred the money directly.


    Natalie soon got the notification.


    "I have transferred the money to you. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Quinn family. Don''t


    you even think abouting back and begging for help!" said Nora.


    Natalie picked up the ss. As she saw that the ice cubes had melted a little, she put the ss down


    and said, "Let''s make a bet. Who will be the beggar then?"


    Nora wanted to pour the water in the ss directly into Natalie''s mouth.


    Natalie looked at Nora''s ever-changing expressions, but she dared not voice out her discontent. She


    sneered at Nora quietly, and then swallowed the milk neat before the ice cubes meltedpletely.


    After a while, she suddenly held her head and shook it, "Oh, I''m so dizzy. What''s wrong?"

 Chapter 47 She Was Drugged

    Chapter 47 She Was Drugged


    Chapter 47 She Was Drugged


    "Is there something wrong with the milk you give me?" Natalie''s voice was hoarse and weak.


    Nora could not conceal the joy on her face. She stood up and walked towards Natalie. As she saw the


    You are still wet behind the ears."


    She then took out the syringe and liquid ss bottles, and picked up her phone to make a call.


    "She has been in aa. I will inject her with the drugster. You guys just start the live broadcast


    after 30 minutes."


    The live broadcast was for those paid audience on the deep web.


    A girl from the East, as attractive as rose petals, had delicate and fair skin.


    It was exciting enough to just think about such a girl.


    Nora never took Natalie seriously. Since Natalie was a girl, she had beaten or abused Natalie. pping


    thetter was just her routine.


    It was just that Natalie resisted her these days, making her even angrier.


    Nora took some drugs and approached, with cold hatred in her eyes.


    She felt that Natalie''s face just paralleled Natalie''s own mother''s, and that they were both despicable!


    But Nora had never used a syringe.


    Should she inject the drugs into the arms, or the back of the hands?


    "What''s wrong?" Suddenly, a cold girlish voice was heard, "Can''t you find my veins?"


    Nora froze for a moment as she heard that.


    She looked up and met Natalie''s clear and cold gaze.


    Thetter''s eyes were beautifully shaped with drooping corners.


    Natalie looked even more innocent when she smiled particrly.


    Nora became horrified!


    But it was toote.


    There was a sharp pain in her waist.


    And then she felt that her hand was stung.


    Natalie just pushed the syringe and injected the drugs into the veins in Nora''s forearm.


    "Like this. Get it?" Natalie pulled out the syringe and threw it aside, "The drugs will take effect quickly


    with intravenous injection. Well, you might have five minutes."


    Immediately, Nora''s pupils dted. She screamed and wanted to run away. But her arms and legs were


    weak. She was grabbed by Natalie and thrown on the sofa.


    She found it hardly believable.


    Didn''t Natalie, the bitch, drink the milk with sleeping bills?


    The milk was all right.


    But there was something wrong with the ice cubes, which were mixed with lots of sleeping bills.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "You..." Nora opened her mouth, feeling her tongue tingling.


    Natalie tilted her head and smiled, "Wonder why I didn''t pass out?" She signed, "You are wicked, but


    you are rather stupid. Then let me tell you the truth kindly. Firstly, milk can dilute drugs, and secondly,


    do you know anything about antagonist?"


    Before Natalie came here, she had taken an antagonist of sleeping bills to inhibit the hypnotic effect.


    Therefore, that kind of dose just didn''t work.


    Natalie sneered, "Live broadcast? It''s pretty up-to-date, isn''t it? But I''m afraid those paid audience will


    be disappointed."


    The cover was at variance with the content.


    "You... Who are you exactly?"


    Nora looked at the calm girl before her, with great fear in her eyes, "You are not... not Natalie."


    Natalie came back at the age of 6.


    She had lived with the Quinn family for 6 years.


    With a weak chin, she turned the other cheek.


    She was rather dull and stupid.


    Then how would she n against Nora instead?


    "Yes and no!" Natalie still smiled.


    Instantly, Nora fell apart.


    To Nora''s astonishment, Natalie bent down and stretched out her hand. She patted Nora''s face bluntly


    and said, "y tricks with me? You are still wet behind the ears."


    Nora was still an insignificant cannon fodder.


    But Natalie was not.


    She not only wanted to be her own protagonist, but the protagonist of this world.


    She wanted the world to change because of her arrival!


    Nora was sobbing, but unfortunately she no longer had any strength to struggle.


    As she thought of how she would beter, she begged Natalie with her looks, but she became tongue-


    tied, "Don''t... Don''t go. Money... I''ll give you the money."


    Natalie picked up the wooden box from the sofa and turned around pitilessly.


    They could just live in peace.


    Natalie just didn''t want to waste her energy and time on these stupid, vicious and insignificant cannon


    fodders.


    However, Nora just overreached herself.


    Then sorry. Natalie had to sacrifice her!


    Natalie walked a few steps, but she turned back as something urred to her mind.


    Her eyes fell on the open ss bottle on the coffee table.


    There was a faint aroma lingering about.


    It was rather unique and nice.


    Natalie bent down and picked up the bottle.


    She was like Eve, who saw the apple on the tree in the Garden of Eden. She couldn''t help but be


    attracted by it.


    It must be a kind of aphrodisiac drug, which couldn''t be taken orally, but be injected into the veins only.


    It would take effect with the blood blowing.


    Natalie strictly followed the rules of theboratory when smelling some unknown gases, and gently


    fanned the mouth of the bottle with her hand.


    She could only feel the faint fragrance.


    But she couldn''t tell what kind of chemical it was exactly.


    At that moment, she started to show the professional quality of a doctor of science and engineering.


    She was so curious that she even wanted to take the drug back to identify its ingredients.


    Natalie moved away a bit, and screwed up the lid. She stuck the bottle in her bag and left with the


    wooden box in her arms.


    Brock was waiting for her outside.


    Earlier, she had asked him not toe in without her orders, no matter what happened there.


    Indeed, he was a high-quality agent, following the instructions strictly.


    Natalie gave her instructions, "Just delete the monitoring recordings when I came to and left the hotel."


    "At your service!"


    ...


    Natalie came back home with the wooden box in her arms.


    Ashlynn came up. She saw the box and then asked, "Is it the new delivery, Mrs. Ramsey?"


    "It is." Natalie smiled.


    "Mr. Ramsey just called and said that he was expected to be back at 7 o''clock tonight."


    "Oh, all right." Natalie said immediately, "I''ll wait for him then!"


    As she said that, something suddenly urred to her mind. She gave Ashlynn the box and took out her


    phone to have a check. Oh god. Kendrick had sent her a message two hours ago, but she had been


    submerging herself in her own thoughts and didn''t read it at all.


    Immediately she acted like a spoiled child and sent a sticker to him.


    It was a sticker saying "I''m crying because of guilt." Here was her message, "I just didn''t see it. Well, I''ll


    wait until youe back."


    Natalie went upstairs after the message. She put the box on the bed, and looked at the coded lock


    outside with a password of 4 numbers.


    If she tried to open the lock from the number 0000, there were a total of ten thousand possible


    Merely deciphering the code without doing anything else would need ten thousand times of trying.


    She wanted to give up!


    It was better to just cut the lock with a saw.


    She put the box into the cab, deciding to deal with itter.


    She sat on the bed and took out the bottle. She had a close check and then removed the lip of the


    drug.


    As she was just sure that it was not something poisonous or provocative, she got close to it and took a


    deep breath.


    She felt the aroma of the violets.


    She couldn''t make other judgements.


    She got bolder and put a few drops on the back of her hand.


    She felt slightly hot in her skin.


    And nothing else.


    She guessed the drug would only take effect when it was injected into the body.


    Natalie put away the ss bottle. She decided to find aboratory to analyze the ingredients and then


    hand it over to the police. If such drugs were circted in the market, she was afraid that lots of


    innocent girls would thus get hurt.


    She got up and went into the bathroom. She prepared the hot water and soaked herself in the huge


    massage bathtub.


    No pore was clogged at the moment. The heat got into them and improved the cirction.


    She felt quite rxed.


    She was rather proud at the moment, feeling that she was awesome.


    Those babes in the woods in the novel were all drugged by the vicious stepmothers and then rescued


    by the hero. Like Jack and Rose, they would then move on to a romantic rtionship.


    But she was different.


    She just threw out the drugs.


    That was so typical of you, Natalie!


    But soon, she felt something was wrong.


    It was so hot!


    Was the temperature of the water rather high?


    No. It was not the water, but her temperature.


    What happened?


    A usible exnation was running through her head. Immediately, her pupils dted.


    The drug diffused into the capiries of the skin.


    The hot water became the catalyst.


    It catalyzed the drug''s effect.


    She was drugged!

 Chapter 48 How did You Skin Your Mouth

    Chapter 48 How did You Skin Your Mouth


    Chapter 48 How did You Skin Your Mouth


    Those who were clever often got ruined because they thought themselves wise.


    "Sorry, I will never be curious."


    Although Natalie was penitent, it was of no use.


    What she was doing would make herself plunge into the abyss.


    And that was beyond her control.


    No.


    She was done for!


    As she thought about it, she immediately turned on the shower and poured cold water on herself.


    Now she only found that her hands and legs felt like jelly and that she was rather weak.


    She couldn''t even pick herself up.


    She only wanted to soak in the cold water for a long time.


    ...


    Kendrick got off the ne at 5 o''clock.


    In fact, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in thepany.


    However, as Nigel asked him, he just said he would go straight home.


    Now Wonder Vi was a ce where he prefers to stay.


    It was no longer oppressive or cold, and it showed some warmth instead.


    While in the car, he saw a message on his phone.


    A smile slightly twitched his lips.


    He finally found a sticker in the chat box and sent it to Natalie.


    But she just didn''t give her reply.


    He closed his eyes slightly!


    As he got home at 7 o''clock, he didn''t see her.


    What a little liar.


    She promised to wait for him toe back. But so far, he just hadn''t caught sight of her at all.


    "Is she in the room?" asked Kendrick.


    "Mrs. Ramsey is taking a bath." Ashlynn looked up and said, "I knocked on her door half an hour ago


    and there was no answer. But I heard the sound of water, so I guess Mrs. Ramsey must be having a


    bath!"


    Kendrick wiped his hands with alcohol swabs to sterilize them and said, "Then prepare the dinner


    please. I''ll wait for her."


    It took time for a woman to take a bath.


    He knew it.


    Last time when they were in the Ramsey family, she spent at least an hour having a bath.


    And then she would apply various moisturizers.


    She might put on a facial mask.


    He was afraid it would take another 20 minutes.


    But what else could he do? He could just wait for her.


    Kendrick was so patient that he kept waiting until the clock struck 8.


    But Natalie had note downstairs yet.


    "Shall I go up and have a look?" said Ashlynn.


    "I''ll go!" answered Kendrick.


    He kept his hand on the wheelchair and took the elevator to the second floor. He knocked on the door,


    but no one answered.


    He pursed his lips and opened the door,


    The sound of water in the bathroom also stopped.


    "Have you done it yet?" asked Kendrick.


    But he heard no reply.


    It waspletely silent inside.


    Could she fall asleep!


    He came to the bathroom and knocked on the door, "Natalie?"


    No one answered.


    He knocked again.


    "Oh... Yes!" Her vague voice came from inside.


    After a while, the door was open.


    Natalie came out swathed in a towel.


    He looked up and saw her rosy face as if she had worn some rouge.


    "What''s wrong?"


    She shook her head. As she wanted to say that she was all right, she found she was tongue-tied.


    She wanted to smile, only to find that her facial muscles became a bit stiff.


    As she had soaked in cold water for a long time, she felt atst that it was not that hot.


    But she was still weak.


    When she heard his call outside, she nearly levered herself up from the bathtub.


    "Get changed then. We''ll go downstairs and have dinner." He turned his eyes away.


    She didn''t swath herself rather tightly. It seemed that the towel could fall at any time.


    Her pretty face looked like a red cherry in midsummer.


    Her eyes were as clear as water, slightly drooped at the corners.


    Her straight and fair legs just hove into his view.


    It was the purity of a young girl.


    But there were some desires.


    Although he had seen something that he shouldn''t have seen before, he still felt a little uneasy.


    "All right!" She nodded numbly and stiffly, but she remained still.


    He frowned, "Then why are you still standing here?"


    "Nothing..." She felt that the cat got her tongue, "I''m so dizzy."


    "Have you got a fever?"


    "I haven''t!" She stiffened up from her expression to movement, losing her former supple body and lively


    state.


    She tried to sy apart her legs and walk forward.


    But she was so dizzy that she had no idea where to go.


    Finding that there was something wrong with her, he grabbed her wrist when she was stepping forward


    and said, "This way!"


    She was totally disoriented. As she was unsteady on her feet, she almost fell to the ground.


    Fortunately, he had put his arm round her waist and thus supported her.


    Natalie lost control of her limbs. At that moment, her knees buckled and she just fell into his arms.


    Kendrick frowned.


    "Do you feel unwell?"


    She nodded.


    Some restless factors were flowing through her blood.


    "You''re back?" Now she was in a state of tab rasa. She only found that the dim figure before her


    was Kendrick.


    "I am. I have been waiting for you for an hour." He didn''t mean to me her, but he was more like a


    man who became angry with his lover.


    She got a nk look.


    Her eyes were fixed on his delicate corbone in his unbuttoned shirt.


    His corbone was like a fine jade with a cool luster.


    A moment or twoter, his pupils shrunk suddenly.


    How dared she?


    He felt a sharp pain in his corbone.


    Immediately he tensed his handsome, deep and lined face, showing great suppression.


    Ratherplicated emotions were intertwined and shown in his face.


    His eyes were as dark as ink, and couldn''t even reflect the moonlight.


    But Natalie let go quickly. She looked up and met his gaze face to face.


    He turned his face away and said, "Just go to the bed and have some rest if you''re not feeling well."


    What was he talking about?


    She couldn''t hear clearly.


    Well.


    It was a bit noisy.


    Natalie wanted to stretch out her hand and simmer him down.


    But she was so weak that she couldn''t even lift her hands up.


    And he was going to move on.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He felt a pain in his lips.


    Thest thing he saw was her close-range face.


    ...


    It was at dawn when Natalie woke up.


    She was wearing a clean nightgown.


    She had a little headache.


    She checked the time.


    It was 11 o''clock, already noon the next day.


    She was thinking about what happened yesterday.


    Nora wanted to meet her and try to frame her in dirty ways.


    But she was rather calm in the face of danger, and instead she struck down Nora beautifully and


    perfectly.


    Those babes in the woods, who were easily drugged by vicious supporting actresses or stepmothers,


    should learn from her to make preparations in advance and should not burn their bridges.


    They should ensure their safety.


    And then?


    And then she looked for trouble.


    Curiously, she dropped the drugs on the back of her hand.


    And?


    She reacted.


    She desperately poured cold water on herself in order to keep herself in control.


    Finally?


    She had no recollection.


    "Awake?"


    His sudden voice interrupted her recollection.


    Well?


    Instantly she turned around and suddenly met his gaze.


    He was at her bedside. He wore a short white T-shirt with a crew neck. With the bangs falling across


    his forehead, he looked rather rxed and casual at home.


    He was gentle and calm.


    Certainly it was just the appearance.


    Oh god?


    Why was Kendrick in her room?


    "You..." said she.


    "Don''t be surprised. I''m just here to wait for you to wake up!" said he.


    Why did it sound like he wanted to get even with her?


    And his look was unpredictable.


    She rotated her big eyes. In a trance she got a glimpse of a wound on his lips and asked, "How did you


    skin your mouth?"


    The wound was quite serious. She could see the blood crust.


    "Aren''t you limated on the business trip?" She asked again, giving her advice sincerely, "It mustck


    some moisture. You''d better put on some lip balm! I will prepare fruits for youter. I''m sure the wound


    will soon heal up if you have mild dishes these days."


    Hearing that, Kendrick was speechless.


    It just happenedst night. She couldn''tpletely forget what she had done, could she?


    Or was she just ying dumb?


    He squinted slightly, showing some suspicion in his dark eyes.


    She touched her head as she looked at him. Was something wrong?


    "Did you bite yourself identally?" She asked him again.


    He remained speechless.


    For a moment, he recalled the soft touch on his lips.


    And soon he felt the sharp pain.


    He gotplex emotions in his looks and his eyes became so deep that no light could be reflected. He


    pursed his lips, "Last night, you bit me!"

 Chapter 49 Did I Bite You

    Chapter 49 Did I Bite You


    Chapter 49 Did I Bite You


    "?"


    Natalie was totally confused.


    "Last night, you bit me!"


    Kendrick seemed to have deliberately emphasized the words "you" and "me".


    Why did he just stress those two words?


    She put her finger on her nose in disbelief and asked, "Me?"


    Had she done something like that?


    Why did she have no recollection at all?


    Kendrick''s eyes were fixed on her, making her guilty. Immediately shecked confidence and then she


    asked him cautiously and tentatively, "Really? Did I bite you?"


    He stretched out his hand and made the neck of his clothes open. He pointed to his corbone, "Here.


    You bit it too!"


    Last night, she sat on hisp, extravagant in behavior. She was unconscious, having no idea how


    attractive she looked and what a little minx she was.


    She squinted. Her vision was rather nice, and she seemed to see the teeth marks on his corbone.


    She could deny the wound on his lips. As for the mark on his corbone, however, she just couldn''t.


    For a moment, she buried her head in her hands.


    As sheter realized that something was wrong that night, she poured cold water on herself


    desperately. But she just didn''t remember what happened afterwards.


    What had she done on earth?


    Did she behave like a hoodlum again?


    "I don''t remember anything!" Natalie approached him to have a look, and then retreated back and sat


    up straight. She asked, "Do you want... to return the bite?"


    Kendrick lowered his eyes. He put his hand on his inner brows and raised his head quickly, "I have


    something to ask you!"


    She had her head down.


    She guessed she would be taught a lesson with no escape.


    "Where did you go and what did you do yesterday?"


    She was silent, trying to organize her words.


    Seeing that she had no reply, he was emotionless, but his tone was filled with threats, "Are you sure


    you want me to investigate?"


    Certainly it would be difficult to keep back something like that from him.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She had no intention of hiding it.


    "Well!" Her face puffed up, "I''ll tell you myself!"


    "Nora wanted to see me to discuss thepensation and sign the statement. You know, I''m so clever,


    and I know she must have bad intentions! So I asked Brock to help me because I wanted to know in


    advance what she was going to do!"


    "What did you ask Brock to help you then?"


    "To monitor her movements." Seeing that there was coldness in his eyes instantly, Natalie moved on, "I


    just wanted him to keep an eye on Nora for me, but I never expected that he was so capable that he


    got all the recordings of their conversations. Well, your man is rather awesome. Certainly it must be


    your credit, as you are so amazing."


    Kendrick didn''t take her ttery seriously. He remained his poker face and said in a muffled voice, "Just


    get to the point!"


    "Nora wanted to inject the drugs to me for a paid live broadcast, well, something like a dark web." She


    exined specially, "I pretended to be unconscious and fool her. She was so stupid that she didn''t


    even know how to use the syringe. She gestured on my arm for a long time but had no idea where to


    inject the drugs. Finally, I just pushed the syringe into her arms instead! Haha!"


    Natalie was rather proud.


    She evenughed.


    She didn''t notice that his handsome face had copsed.


    And she stillughed!


    How dared she?


    "And then I ran away and left her alone!"


    It was such a witty and fearless story.


    "You''re quite proud, aren''t you?" Kendrick stared at her with an enigmatic visage.


    She was much more than that, wasn''t she?


    Very proud indeed.


    He felt she even wanted to publish a book about the story.


    But she found atst that there was something wrong with his voice, and that there was great coldness


    in him.


    "I''m not." Natalie suppressed hercency and sat down quietly.


    "Did I tell you not to put yourself in danger at any time?" Finally, he couldn''t hold back his anger and


    pounded the armrest of the wheelchair, making her stumped.


    "Yes, you did!" She acted obediently, "I remember it very well. But this time was different. Nothing


    venture, nothing have. Nora wanted to frame me but was in check instead. She won''t dare to cause me


    any trouble again, and I will be her trauma for the rest of her life."


    She wasn''t aware of her fault as she said that.


    Hearing that, he felt an instant rise in his blood pressure and he pursed his lips into a straight line. He


    put his hand to his forehead with a sense of helplessness, trying his best to control his emotions.


    "And then?" He asked her again after a while.


    And then she brought back the drugs and tried it out of great curiosity.


    But she remained silent.


    Kendrick stared at her deeply and didn''t give in at all.


    "So you are drugged?"


    When he was asking her this question, his voice was instantly hoarse, and some sybles became


    vague.


    Natalie hesitated, having no idea how to answer. She could only fix her gaze elsewhere.


    Unconsciously, she tightened her grasp on the sheet where she sat.


    "Because I wanted to keep the evidence and prevent more people from being harmed, I brought the


    bottle back. Well, I was... curious, so I just tried it!"


    She didn''t conceal the truth and said everything. She wanted to prove that she was in the right.


    If a keyword statistical analysis of his mood at the moment could be done, the sentence "He would one


    day be infuriated to death" must be thergest and most conspicuous one.


    Not only did she have the guts to y tricks with someone as vicious as Nora, but she dared to test


    such drugs.


    She even threw herself at him, making him hardly hold on and even forget himself.


    If she hadn''t stood it and then fainted in the end, the result would have been beyond his control.


    No one could handle such flirting.


    "Are you angry?" asked Natalie.


    He ran his tongue over his upper te, giving no reply.


    How could she ask him such a question? The answer was rather obvious, wasn''t it?


    "Well, I will protect myself, and I won''t be curious about everything." She swore seriously. As she


    looked at his face, subconsciously she bit her lower lip with her perfect teeth.


    She felt she had bitten his lips rather hard.


    What a deep and clear wound.


    It must hurt.


    Natalie lowered her eyes, feeling rather ashamed.


    And then she slowly raised her face and said, "I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have bitten you."


    Kendrick waved his hand, "Just get washed!"


    ...


    He was angry about it.


    It was quite difficult to get him round.


    Although Natalie and Kendrick had lunch at the same table, he looked like he just wanted to ignore her.


    She looked rather poor with lidded eyes.


    She knew why he got cross.


    Firstly, she shouldn''t go to meet Nora, although she knew Nora harbored bad intentions.


    Secondly, she shouldn''t try something unknown out of curiosity.


    Thirdly, she bit him and made him hurt.


    Therefore, after the meal, as she saw that he avoided touching the wound and wiped his lips with a


    tissue, she handed her lipstick to him artfully and said, "This is for you. It can protect the wound on your


    lips."


    It got fancy packaging covered with strawberries.


    "Like this. Around the lips." Natalie was good to thest drop. She removed the lid of the lipstick and


    showed him how to use it. Finding that he didn''t seem to refuse, she directly and gently helped him


    paint the lips.


    He got thin lips.


    But his scarlet lips were beautifully-shaped, showing a healthy color.


    As he pursed his lips, he looked rather cold and noble, like a God with an air of superiority.


    As for the smile, it yed around his lips, making him rather secr, gentle and warm.


    Natalie stared at his lips and the obvious wound.


    She was somewhat lost in thought.


    She had no idea what she was like exactlyst night, and how extravagant she was in behavior to bite


    his lips like that.

 Chapter 50 Be the Apple of His Eye

    Chapter 50 Be the Apple of His Eye


    Chapter 50 Be the Apple of His Eye


    Natalie had no recollection of it at all, and naturally she couldn''t remember what she felt.


    She was cing her mind elsewhere, and identally touched the wound on his lips.


    He gasped visibly.


    She came back to earth and apologized hurriedly.


    She tightened the lipstick and handed it to him. Finding that he had no response, she handed over the


    lipstick again and said, "Well, cool down. Just remember to use it when you have time!"


    Kendrick took the lipstick.


    As he saw that her eyes resembled a pair of crescent moods, he found it hard to be angry with her.


    However, when he thought of those absurd things she had done, he just couldn''t work his anger off.


    Outwardly she looked rather cute, but in fact she was not like that at all. She was quite arrogant, feeling


    that she was perfectly capable.


    Kendrick continued to leave her alone.


    "I know it is all my fault. I do. Please don''t ignore me."


    She stretched out her hand and pulled the hem of his clothes, "Anger is bad for your health."


    She never expected that he would get cross.


    She always thought that he didn''t have any mood swings.


    Kendrick reached for the wound on his upper lip and snorted coldly, "You''d better mean it."


    Hearing that, Natalie nodded quickly, "Next time I will tell you in advance."


    "This is thest time." He interrupted her impatiently, "Give me the drugster!"


    She opened her eyes wide as she heard that, and said in disbelief, "Do you want to have a try?"


    At that moment, he obviously felt a sharp rise in his blood pressure.


    He put his hand to his forehead with a sense of helplessness and said, "Just stay at home peacefully


    this week. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"


    All right!


    She just said that rashly, didn''t she?


    How could she be locked in a "small ck room" just because of it?


    ...


    In the afternoon, Kendrick was watering the flowers in the greenhouse.


    He had nted a variety of orchids.


    Just one orchid would at least cost over one hundred thousand dors.


    The lotus-petal-shaped orchid was worth millions.


    And it was rather delicate, difficult to nt.


    But Kendrick just loved it.


    Although he was indifferent and cold, he would do his best to treat everything he loved.


    It was a pity that he had been fond of very few things.


    Naturally, others had no such experience of being the apple of his eye.


    The sunshine fell on him. He was at a rarely quiet moment.


    Natalie suddenly pushed the door open and said, "There is a call for you."


    His phone was ced on the coffee table in the living room, and it kept ringing.


    As he reached for the phone, he heard her words, "It''s Reuben!"


    He guessed that Reuben''s phone call must be about Nora.


    Kendrick slid to answer the phone and tapped the "speaker" on the screen. Reuben''s voice came from


    the phone.


    He first took a few deep breaths, and said after calming himself down, "Look, Kendrick, I have to tell


    you about this, or I will never stomach such an insult. Really, I don''t expect that I will have such an


    ungrateful brat as my daughter after 20 years of hard work and education. Look, from now on, I will


    disown her. She is rather vicious and wily. Natalie jerked her mother around and yed tricks with her.


    Now Nora is highly unstable. She cries and wants tomit suicide."


    "Shall I call the Center for Mental Illness for you?" said Kendrick with concern.


    Reuben was speechless.


    It could be found that Reuben was rather angry. His heavy and harsh breathing could be heard from


    the phone, "Well, I told you about it but I didn''t ask you to do me justice. I just want to remind you that


    Natalie has been rather extreme and weird since she was a child. Something is wrong with her mental


    state. Well, other members of the family always let her win, but she is just ungrateful and bullies her


    sister instead!"


    There was coldness in Kendrick''s face, "Well, Mr. Quinn, that was not what you had said to my


    grandfather, wasn''t that?"


    What Kendrick was saying made Reuben gasp.


    In order to marry Natalie, he exalted her to the skies at that time.


    "There must be some solutions." He said suddenly and viciously, "If you insisted on protecting her, I''m


    afraid I will go into reverse. Don''t me me then."


    Kendrick smiled as he heard that, "Are you sure?" Slowly, his smile turned intoughter with irony,


    "Want to abandon the joint development right of West Goldburg?"


    Reuben became just under his control.


    Kendrick hung up the phone and then looked at Natalie.


    Her expression was rather subtle. She said with a frown, "He just spoke ill of me in my presence, didn''t


    he? He is not in his right mind!"


    "Your father wants to disown youpletely." said Kendrick.


    "Just all right!"


    "He won''t give up that easily." He said, "Judging from his tone, I guess he just can''t stomach such an


    insult."


    Natalie said angrily, "How can he be so shameless? It was Nora who wanted to frame me and she just


    went for wool and came home shorn."


    She was straightforward. As she grew up in a rtively open and honest environment, naturally she


    had no idea how shameless some people could be.


    Kendrick pursed his lips and said, "Barring idents, I think he will stab me in the back."


    She now started to know that she had caused him some trouble.


    "Sorry to bring you trouble." She stopped being arrogant atst.


    Kendrick signed softly. His voice sounded a little sad, "A big trouble!"


    Natalie was a bit unsure. Although she knew that Kendrick, the mogul, was almost invincible and could


    deal with those little cannon fodders, like Reuben, without difficulty, now the plot was different from the


    one of the original book.


    It was much earlier to turn against Reuben.


    She had no idea whether Kendrick had a full n.


    Suddenly, she crouched down and grabbed his hand.


    Did she feel that she caused him trouble and thus regretted and wanted to apologize?


    To cry and ask for his forgiveness?


    "Then take this opportunity to oust him!"


    She was rather determined, saying with pride, "I trust you!"


    He chewed his lips as he heard that, unexpectedly at a loss for words.


    "We are in the right." Natalie said, "Well, Reuben is just bluffing and in fact hecks confidence.


    Otherwise he won''t keep speaking ill of me and wants to make a psychological attack, will he?" She


    analyzed calmly, "He just wants you to misunderstand me and to be on his side. But he doesn''t know


    that I have evidence."


    She held Kendrick''s hand tightly and said, "Look, I''m not like that. Trust me. I''m optimistic, cheerful and


    positive, with a high IQ of 180. I''d offer to hand in the money whenever I find it. From trivial things, such


    as helping an olddy cross the road or a child across a puddle, to something significant..."


    "All right!" He chewed his lips, "I trust you!"


    Hearing that, she nodded, "Reuben has been stabbing you in the back for a long time. Just kick him out


    quickly!"


    After saying that, she felt that she was talking rashly to him again, and thus moved on hurriedly, "I know


    him. Well, that''s what he is like. How can he tell tales about his daughter? A child is better unborn than


    untaught. It is theck of home education that makes the child bear some problems. Well, certainly I''m


    all right, but he is not."


    Kendrick stared at her.


    Suddenly a phrase urred to his mind.


    "Different fireworks."


    It was her!


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    With helplessness, Kendrick smiled, showing her some favor unexpectedly.


    "Just go to the study and bring me the sandalwood box on the desk."


    Natalie ran upstairs briskly, and soon came down. She gave him the sandalwood box in her hand.


    Was it something precious?


    Rather mysterious.


    Kendrick opened the box where the fragrance of sandalwood came.


    There was a protective talisman inside.


    He picked it up from the box with his long fingers, and said to her, "Give me your hand!"


    Natalie followed his words obediently.


    "The protective talisman!"


    He put the little stuff in her palm and said, "It''s for you!"

 Chapter 51 Be A Good Girl

    Chapter 51 Be A Good Girl


    Chapter 51 Be A Good Girl


    Kendrick did not worship God or believe in destiny.


    However, he was willing to go to Saint Hill Temple to pray for Natalie''s safety.


    Natalie stared at the small protective talisman in her hand and then looked at him with wide eyes. "Did


    you ask for it for me?"


    "Yes!" Kendrick said, "May you be safe!"


    The tone in which he said it was as soft as a note that danced on her heart.


    Natalie immediately grasped the protective talisman tightly, smiled, and said solemnly to him, "I will


    wear it all the time."


    Suddenly, she thought of something.


    Her eyes rolled, and she said, "Should I..."


    Kendrick guessed what she was going to say and warned her with a straight face, "Don''t try to test


    whether it works!"


    Natalie thrust out her tongue.


    Kendrick leaned forward and said in a low voice, "What happened yesterday is over!"


    He was going to deal with the follow-up himself.


    He sat up straight and then said in a soft tone, "Be a good girl!"


    Natalie nodded. "I have always been a very good girl."


    Hearing this, Kendrick couldn''t help but think, "Always good?


    I am afraid she is only good at sweet talks!


    She is really a girl with quite a personality.


    In her, I can feel the ultimate purity.


    She never gives a good face to people she hates.


    However, she''s extremely gentle and tolerant towards those whom she likes.


    She has a clear demarcation between whom or what to hate or love."


    Kendrick had been holding aloof as an outsider. He had never interfered in other people''s lives.


    A person''s growing environment and personality made a big difference in his life situation.


    As a cold and aloof man, Kendrick had always felt that it was already not easy for him to lead a good


    life.


    However, he was now worried about Natalie and even wanted to take care of her.


    Kendrick could feel that some things had strayed from their original tracks when he didn''t know.


    Natalie carefully put on the protective talisman.


    It was Kendrick''s first gift to her.


    Actually, it was not.


    The first gift should be his divorce agreement when she first came into this world and opened her


    eyes.


    "Anything else?" she leaned over and asked.


    "The rose pancake and the chestnut pie are on the table, and the roasted duck is in the refrigerator."


    Kendrick tapped her forehead gently with the second joint of his index finger.


    Natalie pursed her lips and smiled.


    She was thinking about her snacks.


    ...


    Reuben contacted someone he knew overnight and asked him to delete the live recordings from the


    secretwork. He stamped his feet at home angrily, looking like he wouldn''t be satisfied unless he


    could send Natalie to prison.


    However, he didn''t dare to offend Kendrick easily.


    He longed to know how Natalie had bewitched Kendrick so that he would care so much for her.


    Reuben couldn''t let it go.


    Soon, however, Kendrick asked to meet him in person.


    When Reuben arrived at the top office of Ramsey Group, Kendrick, who was wearing a white shirt and


    ck suit trousers, was sitting on the sofa in a casual manner.


    Although he was sitting, he exuded an overbearing aura.


    As a result, it could be imagined how domineering he would be if he could stand up.


    Reuben gnashed his teeth before he came, but after he saw Kendrick, he cringed.


    Kendrick greeted him, "Sit down!"


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Hearing this, Reuben sat down obediently.


    Kendrick didn''t talk nonsense or beat around the bush. He directly asked Brock to y the recording


    for Reuben. Facing Reuben''s shocked expression, Kendrick put the contract in his hand in front of him


    and said, "Look at this."


    Reuben held it up suspiciously.


    After reading the contract for a while, he looked up at Kendrick in disbelief.


    To his surprise, Kendrick was about to transfer part of the development right of the West Goldburg


    project to him.


    Reuben naturally did not believe in free lunches. After all, he was not stupid. Therefore, he asked,


    "What are the conditions?"


    Kendrick smiled at him lightly and motioned him to continue his reading.


    At the end of the contract was a treatment consent from the psychiatric department of Harmony


    Hospital.


    The subject of the treatment was Nora Glover.


    Reuben finally understood Kendrick''s meaning.


    He wanted him to send Nora to a mental hospital himself.


    Kendrick said with regret, "It''s really a pity to hear that Mrs. Quinn has a mental problem. It must be a


    great blow and a heavy burden to you, Mr. Quinn. How about signing this agreement and letting a


    professional psychiatrist take care of her?"


    He handed Reuben a ck autograph pen. "In this way, you will be able to focus on the development


    project in West Goldburg. Am I right, Mr. Quinn?"


    Reuben hesitated.


    He thought, "Kendrick is now threatening and inducing me to send Nora to a mental hospital for


    treatment.


    Obviously, he''s using me to help Natalie get rid of Nora."


    Reuben took the pen and said while trembling, "Nora just got into a dead end for a moment. She''s


    much better now."


    Kendrick stared straight at him and said word by word, "In my opinion, she is crazy. A normal mother


    would never drug and live-stream her daughter, even if they are not rted by blood."


    Reuben turned pale and dared not even contradict.


    "You have two choices. Send her to prison or hospital." Kendrick reached out and tapped on the table.


    "Take my respect and make a choice, my dear father-inw."


    He was hinting at Reuben to make a wise decision.


    Reuben was struggling with himself.


    Nora and he had been married for 20 years, and the two of them had long shared the same interest.


    Therefore, it was really hard for him to make the choice to send her to a mental hospital.


    Brock, who was standing aside, said, "Mr. Quinn, you have three daughters!"


    Indeed, if this matter was exposed, the reputation of the Quinn family would bepletely destroyed.


    In that case, neither of his two daughters would be able to marry a better person, and this would even


    affect Sophia''s marriage.


    Reuben looked up and reconfirmed, "As long as I sign this consent, I''ll get the development right of the


    West Goldburg project, right?"


    There was a flicker of cold contempt in Kendrick''s eyes. He asked Brock to take out a statement and


    told Reuben to sign it.


    That was the statement made by Natalie''swyer to break off her rtionship with the Quinn family.


    However, the statement subject had been changed.


    Now it was Reuben who took the initiative to break off with his daughter.


    Although the results were the same, the nature was different.


    Hamgradish people emphasized filial piety, and it was never right for a daughter to break off the


    rtionship with her father, no matter for what reason.


    Therefore, Kendrick had to take everything into consideration for Natalie.


    "You can choose not to sign any of them, which means you are determined to stand against me, and I''ll


    take your challenge," said Kendrick in a calm tone.


    It was a threat.


    "After you sign them, even if you choose to break off with Natalie, you''ll still be my father-inw, and


    we''ll always be in the same boat."


    It was an inducement.


    With no doubt, Kendrick was a natural superior, for he was very good at manipting people''s minds.


    Brock also said in a bewitching tone, "Mr. Quinn, if I were you, I would definitely take the development


    right of the West Goldburg project. After all, there will be $2 billion in profits once the project gets


    underway. No smart guys will refuse it. You can always change your wife, not to mention that Nora is


    not a virtuous wife. She will only weigh you down. Mr. Quinn, I often imagine how sessful you''ll be if


    you''re burden-free! In my opinion, you''ll shock the whole business world!"


    Thinking about the 2 billion dors that he was about to receive, Reuben gritted his teeth and signed


    three documents in session with trembling hands.


    As he had made a great decision, he was extremely excited at the moment, and the muscles on his


    face kept twitching, from which his uncontroble excitement could be seen.


    What he did not know, however, was that there would never be a free lunch, but a set-up.


    Neither did he know that he had fallen into a trapid by his seemingly gentle son-inw.


    Reuben left with delight.

 ?Chapter 52 Kendrick Will Do Anything for Natalie

    ?Chapter 52 Kendrick Will Do Anything for Natalie


    Chapter 52 Kendrick Will Do Anything for Natalie


    Nora naturally refused to go to the mental hospital.


    Reuben thought of an idea and told her that he had got even with Kendrick on this matter.


    He also said that Natalie was now in his hands and that they could do anything to her.


    Nora shouted, "I will kill her. I must kill her. I will throw her into the street, naked. Where is she now?"


    She seized Reuben by the throat crazily, gritted her teeth, and said, "Tell me where she is."


    Obviously, after this incident, Natalie became the shadow of her life.


    Reuben was almost suffocated by her, and his guilt was all gone.


    He even felt that he had made a very wise decision.


    "Nora, Nora, let go of me first. I''ll take you to her. Don''t worry."


    Nora, bent on revenge, did not suspect that her husband, with whom she had lived for 20 years, would


    lie to her. She followed him into the car.


    Reuben drove her straight to Harmony Hospital.


    As soon as Nora got out of the car, she was held down by two doctors and was then sedated.


    Soon, she was unconscious.


    ...


    Natalie didn''t know that Nora had already been sent to a mental hospital for treatment.


    What she had been told by Kendrick was that he was going tomunicate with the Quinn family.


    His expression, as he said this, was so calm that Natalie thought he really meant to have a serious talk


    with the Quinn family.


    When Kendrick returned, he handed Reuben''s signed statement to Natalie and said, "He took the


    initiative to dissolve the legal rtionship with you."


    Natalie took it and looked at it.


    It was indeed a little different from the previous version.


    Reuben became the party that made the statement voluntarily.


    Natalie did not care about that.


    After all, her goal had been achieved.


    Natalie held the thin statement and suddenly sighed.


    Kendrick thought she was sad, so he said, "You have the initiative. If you don''t sign, the agreement will


    note into force."


    Natalie took the pen and signed her name. Then she looked down at him and said in a sweet voice,


    "From now on, you''re the only one I have."


    She was alone in this strange world.


    Now that she had severed her rtionship with her original family, Kendrick was really the only one


    around her.


    The words touched Kendrick deeply.


    He said in his heart, "From now on, I''m the only one she has.


    I''ll be her whole world."


    With this thought, Kendrick reached out and held her hand.


    Natalie was insatiable. She stooped and looked into his eyes. "You must be nice to me!"


    Kendrick wondered if he had been nice to Natalie.


    All he had done was for her.


    However, he was still not sure whether she needed such kindness.


    Therefore, Kendrick asked earnestly, "What should I do?"


    His attitude was pious, without a trace of jokes.


    Natalie didn''t know how to answer for a while. She thought of the sentence she had excerpted from the


    melodramatic literature she read in the past and said, "I want to be your only, unique, and preferred.


    "You must trust me. That''s important."


    "This is really important," she reemphasized in her heart.


    "What else?" asked Kendrick.


    "What else?" Natalie thought for a moment and said, "Don''t have any close contact with other women.


    For example, that Caitlyn I metst time."


    She still remembered what happened that day.


    "She called you Ken. You can''t allow anyone to call you that in the future."


    Kendrick could see that Natalie was jealous.


    He looked at her, smiling.


    Natalie suddenly felt shy and shouted, "This kind of addressing is too intimate. You are married, so it''s


    not appropriate for other women to call you that."


    "Only I can call him that," she thought.


    Thinking of this, she said with an evil smile, "Ken, do you agree?"


    Kendrick was silent for a while.


    Then he calmly exined, "I have a cooperative rtionship with her father. I knew her when I was a


    child. That''s all. She won''t take a fancy to me."


    Women would admire his handsome, deep-set face and his wise, intelligent brain, but they would stay


    away from him because of his paralyzed legs.


    "That only means she is blind." Natalie held his hand and said, "You are so excellent, and I''m d to be


    the only woman who knows that."


    Kendrick''s cold, hard heart melted bit by bit at her words.


    He thought Natalie might be an angel.


    He even had the idea of doing anything for her.


    ...


    Kendrick sessfully signed the contract during a business trip to Foxley.


    The merger and acquisition n would beunched within the week, and then the new business would


    be promoted.


    Others thought that Kendrick did so only to prove that he was not a waste.


    They did not know, however, that he had far-reaching ns.


    Hiding his strength in the face of adversity.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    That was what he often did.


    Due to his low profile and the fact that the project was not favored by everyone, Kendrick had hardly


    suffered from great resistance.


    It was also because Melvin had attracted all eyes.


    His drunken driving and hit-and-run were exposed.


    The victimined bitterly in the media.


    The victim''s mother went home from workte at night and was knocked unconscious in the crash.


    The driver, who caused the crash, escaped and had not been found so far.


    ording to the witness, it was a Land Rover with a Goldburg A number te.


    Based on the license te number, someone recognized that the car belonged to Melvin, the third son


    of the Ramsey family.


    Melvin was a scum.


    Any derogatory term could be used to describe him.


    He had been mischievous ever since he was a boy and had done all sorts of bad things without


    obeying thew or discipline.


    However, because Melvin''s mother died when he was very young and he was Seth''s youngest son,


    Seth was very partial to him and even spoiled him to a certain extent. Even though he knew Melvin was


    ipetent, he still handed him the group''s important business.


    Therefore, it was not surprising that to solve the problem for his son, Seth called Kendrick all night and


    asked him to go back.


    Natalie was sleeping in a daze when she heard something outside.


    She got up and pushed the door open. Then she saw that Kendrick was already dressed and about to


    go downstairs in his wheelchair.


    "Where are you going?" Her voice still sounded sleepy.


    "Go back to the Ramsey''s mansion." Kendrick said to her, "Grandpa called me just now. Go back to


    sleep. I wille back tomorrow morning."


    Natalie couldn''t believe that Seth had actually called Kendrick, who had difficulty moving around, to go


    back thiste at night.


    She was a little angry.


    Seth, however, had always been a domineering, willful man.


    When he was angry, he did not care at all what trouble he would cause others.


    Now, sitting in the living room of the Ramsey''s mansion, he asked Edgar to call his children and


    grandchildren, one by one.


    "Let me go with you!" Natalie asked in a low voice, "Is it because of your youngest uncle?"


    Natalie also read the news today and evenmented on it, using her new ount. [I''m on the


    victim''s side. We must find the criminal and bring him to justice. We must not let him escape thew!]


    Of course, she didn''t dare to tell Kendrick about this.


    After all, Melvin was his third uncle.


    They were both Ramseys.


    Kendrick smiled bitterly. "Because of this, Grandpa is furious."


    He felt that he would also be scolded after he went back.


    "Then I have to go with you." Natalie hurriedly said, "Grandpa''s health condition doesn''t allow him to


    get angry casually. Wait for me to change my clothes."


    Kendrick agreed.


    When they were in the car, Kendrick received a call from Edgar, the steward of the Ramsey family,


    saying that his uncles and aunt had arrived and that he was the only one who hadn''t.


    At the same time, the atmosphere was subtle at the Ramsey''s mansion.


    Melvinined in front of Seth, saying that Kendrick had deliberately disclosed the news and


    incited the media to target him and the Ramsey family.


    Upon hearing this, Natalie took out her mobile phone and silently deleted thement.


    After saying he would be there soon, Kendrick hung up and reached out to press his temples. Then he


    turned to Natalie and said, "Don''t act rashly after we arrive at the Ramsey''s mansionter, no matter


    what you hear."

    Chapter 53 Seth Is Suspicious of Kendrick


    Hearing that, Natalie thought unhappily, "Am I that kind of person?"


    Then sheined, "I am rational and restrained."


    Kendrick thought of what she had done in the restaurant that day and hesitated to speak for a


    moment.


    Natalie analyzed, "Your third uncle didn''t want to apologize and turn himself in to take responsibility for


    his hit-and-run. Instead, he wants to shift the me onto you and frame you. But what matters most


    now is Grandpa''s attitude."


    Kendrick said in a cold voice, "Grandpa''s attitude is clear. Ramsey Group''s reputation and share price


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    cannot be affected!"


    Natalie sighed in her heart, "Well, the powerful plutocrats only care about interests and reputation."


    "Let''s pretend to know nothing now. Grandpa will probably cover up this garba...his son, even


    regardless of right and wrong," said Natalie.


    "He is indeed garbage," Kendrick said sarcastically.


    ...


    When they arrived at the Ramsey''s mansion, the atmosphere was serious.


    Seth''s two sons and one daughter were present.


    Natalie pushed Kendrick into the living room, and several nces fell upon them.


    "Is this a public trial?" she couldn''t help but think.


    She raised her eyes and swept the people sitting on the sofa, calmly and fearlessly.


    "Kendrick, you are really bold. How dare you manipte the media behind my back and incite them to


    wantonly attack and nder me? Do you know how much you have caused Ramsey Group to lose by


    doing this? Ramsey Group''s share price has dropped by 3%!"


    Melvin took the lead in making a fuss.


    Every word he spoke implied that he had nothing to do with the matter.


    Kendrick frowned slightly. "Melvin, I don''t quite understand what you are talking about."


    "Don''t y the fool." Melvin stood up from the sofa and pped the tablet onto Kendrick''s leg. "Look at


    it yourself."


    Seeing this, Natalie was instantly furious, and she wanted to smash the tablet in Melvin''s face.


    It was the first time she had seen Melvin, Kendrick''s youngest uncle.


    She could tell from his chiseled features that Melvin was quite handsome when he was young.


    Unfortunately, his face was now puffy, his pouches were extremelyrge, and his face was sallow.


    All this was caused by his long years of indulgence in alcohol and lust.


    Natalie could tell that his liver was in bad health.


    Her eyes narrowed.


    Melvin also noticed Natalie''s unkind gaze. He turned to stare at her and then looked her up and down


    with a frivolous and disdainful gaze.


    "I don''t know about this matter." Kendrick quickly read the nearly 15-minute statement of the victim''s


    family and then roughly browsed theizenments. After that, he looked up and said to Seth, "If


    the content is true and rted to Melvin, I suggest that he turn himself in and apologize publicly, so as


    to minimize the loss to Ramsey Group. After all, Ramsey Group''s reputation for decades can''t be


    ruined by this."


    "Turn myself in and apologize? What the hell are you talking about? Ramsey Group will be doomed if I


    turn myself in." Melvin was panicked and blurted out, "Kendrick, you''re really an ingrate. Do you really


    want to send me to prison?"


    As soon as Melvin had finished speaking, all eyes fell on him.


    Nancy said in an exaggerated tone, "Melvin, you really crashed someone. It''s a hit-and-run crime!"


    Seth''s eldest son, Dereon Ramsey, frowned and said, "Melvin, you should have told us that you had


    caused such big trouble."


    Nancy echoed, "Because of you, the share price of Ramsey Group has dropped by 3%!"


    Melvin was so stupid that he fell into the trap of his nephew and unconsciously admitted what he had


    done. What was worse, he had just said that it had nothing to do with him. Just as he was about to


    speak, his father, Seth, pped the table. "You asshole, you keep making trouble all day long. How


    many times have I said that alcohol will muddle your head? I always tell you not to drink, but you never


    listen to me. Now, you cause such big trouble, and we have to deal with it for you."


    "Dad, I really quit drinking," Melvin cried bitterly, "but when I came back from mourning my mom, I was


    in a low mood. I could not help drinking as I remembered that Mom had left me when I was a little kid. I


    drank because I was too sad, really."


    Hearing this, Natalie sneered in her heart, "What a grand ethical drama among the rich."


    "Besides, isn''t that woman already awake from hera? Justpensate her with some money. If


    her family insists on getting to the bottom of this, find someone to take the me for me. Dad, do you


    really want to send me to prison? I''m your son by blood. If Mom knows it..."


    "That''s enough!" Seth shouted loudly, "Shut up, you asshole! I will deal with this matter."


    Melvin was really good at softening his father''s heart.


    As soon as Melvin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Dad, we must find out the person who disclosed this


    to the media. This person is the mole among us who wants to damage the reputation of the Ramsey


    family!"


    His eyes swept the faces of all present and finally rested upon Kendrick.


    "Melvin, I have always been on your side, but this time I will not stand for you because you are


    indefensible." Nancy suddenly said indifferently, "A clean conscience fears not false usations. You


    did the wrong thing first. If you are innocent, we''ll always have reason to use the media of nder


    no matter what they say."


    She sighed and continued, "Now your license te number has been photographed at the scene, and


    the evidence is conclusive. What else can we do to help you?"


    Natalie nced at Nancy and pursed her lips.


    She thought, "She would not stand out and engage in this matter for no reason.


    Looks like she is the person who disclosed it to the media."


    "Where''s the car? Have you dealt with it?" Seth raised his eyes and asked.


    Melvin nodded hurriedly. "I have removed the car from my name and discarded it."


    The Land Rover, once worth about $1 million, suddenly became a heap of scrap.


    "Go abroad for a month." Seth waved his hand. "Get lost tomorrow!"


    Seth nced at all the people and then said, "Go and rest, except you, Kendrick."


    Finally, there were only three people left in the living room.


    It was already three o''clock in the morning, and Natalie was very sleepy.


    Seth didn''t mind Natalie was also there, and he asked Kendrick directly, "How long have you known


    this?"


    Natalie was immediately refreshed, and she thought, "It seems that Seth is really suspicious of


    Kendrick."


    "Just now." Kendrick said calmly, "If I had known it earlier, I would have told you to deal with it in


    advance, which would not have caused any damage to Ramsey Group."


    Seth leaned back on the sofa and said, "I know that you''re not happy with my shifting the businesses of


    you two. Melvin is a waste, and he can''t achieve anything great, but you are different. I have great


    expectations for you!"


    Kendrick smiled lightly. "I will live up to your expectations, Grandpa!"


    "That''s good." Seth continued to warn him, "You are sensible and aggressive, but you have to


    understand that all your achievements are given by Ramsey Group. Without Ramsey Group, you are


    nothing. Before doing anything, you should consider the interests of the whole group and the Ramsey


    family rather than your own."


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and said, "I''ll strictly follow your instructions, Grandpa!"


    Seth was a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "Go up and have a rest, both of you!"


    Natalie still held out a smile as she said good night to Seth, although she had already scolded him for


    his partiality countless times in her heart.


    They went upstairs and met Nancy at the door of their bedroom.


    She seemed to have been waiting a long time. As soon as she saw Kendrick, she asked, "What did


    Dad say to you?"


    Kendrick replied honestly, "Grandpa suspected that I had disclosed the news and questioned me."


    "What did you say then?"


    Kendrick looked at her with a meaningful smile. "Nancy, are you curious about this?"


    "I''m just asking!" Nancy was quite afraid of him now. She lowered her voice and said, "Now we are in


    the same boat."


    "Once grandpa starts suspecting, no excuse will work. Just do what you should do," said Kendrick


    coldly.


    Nancy was silent for a while and then suddenly said to Natalie, "Nat, it was my fault for what happened


    that day. Don''t take it to your heart. I''ve always been a straightforward person. I was really anxious


    then, and that''s why I pped you in the face. I bought a beautiful handbag, and I''ll take it to you


    personally tomorrow as my apology."

 ?Chapter 56 Graces Disdain for Kendrick

    ?Chapter 56 Grace''s Disdain for Kendrick


    Chapter 56 Grace''s Disdain for Kendrick


    Grace debunked, "These are all the cubilose left in the kitchen, and Mr. Ramsey doesn''t like to eat


    such food much."


    Natalie nced at her and said, "Are you going to change them for me or not?"


    Grace did not concede. "Mr. Ramsey is a junior and should give way to the elders."


    Natalie wanted to ask if Brett and Maggie were here, whether Grace would still dare to say so.


    Grace felt that Natalie was annoying and continued indifferently, "If you think we are treating Mr.


    Ramsey differently, I will exin to him myself. Mr. Ramsey has a good temper and will not care about


    these things."


    Hearing this, Natalie thought with anger, "He has a good temper and doesn''t care about all this?


    How dare she say that?


    I''m really on the verge of a re-up.


    I can''t stand it anymore!


    These people disdain him at home because he has a good temper, or say, he is too sensible. It is


    obvious that they treat him differently, but they even look like they have done nothing wrong."


    Grace''s exnation was to go to Kendrick and say that because he didn''t seem to like cubilose very


    much, so she hadn''t prepared it for him.


    Kendrick would naturally not tangle in such matters.


    Or he was already used to it.


    He knew the nature of these people well.


    That was why he seldom came back.


    Grace nced coldly at Natalie and paid no further attention to her. She turned and ordered the cooks,


    "Is the cassava and sweet potato congee for Mr. Seth ready? Hurry up!"


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Hearing this, Natalie said in her heart, "Cassava and sweet potato congee?


    Elderly people have bad intestines. They should eat less cassava and other simr food to avoid


    intestinal tulence."


    Natalie stood in ce.


    "But what does it have to do with me?" she sneered in her mind.


    She then went out with the two bowls of milky cubilose.


    At that moment, Seth and Nancy were already sitting at the dinner table.


    Only Melvin was not there.


    Seth asked, "Melvin fell in the kitchenst night. Is he alright?"


    "Really? He is not supposed to be so careless." Nancy smiled lightly. "Dad, don''t worry. He''s probably


    alright, otherwise he would have already called 911. After all, when he was a kid, he would cry in front


    of you all day with just a cut in his hand."


    Seth looked upstairs and said nothing.


    After a while, Grace came up with a bowl of cassava and sweet potato congee.


    Seth asked, "Who cleaned the kitchenst night?"


    "Me," said Grace.


    "You should have checked more carefully!" Seth scolded, "Melvin slipped in the kitchenst night."


    "But nobody enters the kitchen except me," Grace was still quibbling.


    Kendrick said, "Grace, you should check everywhere in the Ramsey''s mansion in the evening. Do not


    repeatst night, for everyone''s sake and your own safety. After all, you''ve aged, too. Be careful and


    take notes of things that are easy to forget."


    Unconsciously, the me shifted to Grace.


    Grace didn''t know what to say and could only nod.


    Kendrick kept his eyes on the cubilose in front of him.


    Meanwhile, he thought, "Look at its quality.


    How dare she try to fool me?"


    Seth waved his hand, motioning Grace to go.


    He was fidgety and frowning.


    He slowly ate the congee, and after a while, he felt ufortable in his stomach, with a feeling of


    tulence.


    Natalie saw at a nce that he did not look well.


    "What''s wrong, Grandpa? Are you sick?"


    Sethid his hand on the table and frowned tightly. "My stomach hurts a little."


    Natalie didn''t expect the tulence to act up so quickly.


    It was supposed to be a probabilistic event.


    However, once it happened, it was 100%.


    "Dad, go and sit on the sofa, and I''ll call the family doctor toe and have a look."


    Seth''s face was sallow, and he could be seen to be in great pain.


    Natalie immediately got up and said, "Grandpa, let me help you to sit on the sofa."


    When he sat down, she asked, "Which part of your body hurts? Your stomach or somewhere else?"


    Seth pointed to his stomach. He was too sore to speak.


    Nancy followed over and asked, "Is there a problem with the food prepared in the kitchen?" Then she


    shouted, "Grace, Grace,e here."


    Grace ran over, and after she saw the situation, she said hurriedly, "What happened to Mr. Seth?"


    "That''s what I want to ask you!" Nancy said in a sharp voice, "Dad was still fine in the morning. After


    eating the congee you brought to him, he suddenly had a stomachache. Tell me, did you put anything


    dirty in it?"


    "Ms. Nancy, you can''t wrong me. I have worked in this family for 20 years and have not done anything


    wrong, but in the morning..."


    "What happened in the morning?"


    "Mrs. Ramsey entered the kitchen. I don''t know if it was..."


    Natalie could not believe that Grace had actually shifted the me to her.


    Kendrick said coldly, "Grace, you are responsible for what you say!"


    Grace was aggrieved. "I didn''t lie."


    Nancy cleared her throat and said, "Let''s wait for the doctor toe and have a look!"


    Seth leaned back on the sofa, looking sick.


    Abdominal tulence was extremely painful.


    In severe cases, people would even cover their stomachs and roll around.


    Seth must have also felt the pain, but he only frowned.


    He was indeed a man who felt no pain even when a bullet struck him.


    Natalie asked, "Is it abdominal tulence? Grandpa, let me do a massage for you!"


    Natalie stretched out her hand and pressed it under his ribs.


    Seth frowned in pain.


    "Does it hurt very much here?" Natalie said softly, "Grandpa, please bear it."


    Abdominal tulence was not a serious disease, nor did it need to be treated by a doctor, as long as a


    proper massage was applied.


    It was just that a massage to cure tulence hurt a little.


    Natalie massaged the position under Seth''s ribs in a clockwise direction several times.


    "Grandpa, do you feel better?"


    Seth nodded.


    He belched.


    Then he felt less pain.


    "Massage it for a little while more. It doesn''t seem to hurt anymore," said Seth.


    Nancy had called the family doctor.


    Now the doctor had arrived.


    "Mr. Seth, how do you feel now?"


    Seth sat up straight and said, "I''m OK. It doesn''t hurt now."


    Natalie said, "Grandpa may have abdominal tulence. I helped him massage to relieve the pain, but


    for his safety, please check him again!"


    The family doctor examined Seth again and said, "It''s really abdominal tulence. Please tell me Mr.


    Seth''s recent diet."


    "Grandpa had some cassava and sweet potato congee in the morning. Is there a problem?" Natalie


    said in a loud voice, afraid that the doctor could not hear her.


    "Elderly people have bad intestines. They should eat less milk, bean curd, cassava, and such food."


    The doctor said seriously, "I''ve listed them in the dietary restrictions I wrotest time. Luckily, Mrs.


    Ramsey massaged properly to help Mr. Seth relieve the pain, so it is not a big problem for the time


    being. Just remember the food to be avoided in the future."


    Natalie said, "Thank you, doctor. It''s good that it''s not food poisoning."


    She poured a ss of warm water and handed it to Seth. Then she said humbly, "Grandpa, please


    drink some water."


    While helping Seth to smooth his breath, she said, "I used to have tulence, and I even rolled on the


    ground in pain. Grandpa, you just frowned even though it hurt so much just now. You are really a tough


    man, as if you were not afraid of pain at all. When can I be as strong-willed as you?"


    When hearing that she was ttering again, Kendrick smiled faintly.


    "But..." Natalie suddenly changed the topic, "Grandpa, you shouldn''t have suffered from this."


    She turned to look at Grace. Her cold gaze was as sharp as a de, and it made Grace stiff with fear.

 Chapter 57 The Intimacy Between Kendrick and Natalie

    Chapter 57 The Intimacy Between Kendrick and Natalie


    Chapter 57 The Intimacy Between Kendrick and Natalie


    After saying that, Natalie stopped talking.


    As a wise person, she knew where to stop.


    Nancy frowned and scolded, "Grace, you really are old and confused. The doctor says Dad cannot eat


    such food, so why did you prepare it for him? I think it''s time for you to go home and take care of your


    grandchildren. Otherwise, we''ll all be very worried if you are the one looking after Dad when we are


    away."


    Grace had served Nancy wholeheartedly for many years, so she didn''t expect her to be the first one to


    say such mean words.


    She said with the grievance, "Mr. Seth also ate cassava and sweet potato congee the other morning,


    and nothing happened to him then. I really have no idea what''s going on today. Did he not have a good


    restst night?"


    Nancy was furious. "Stop quibbling. You have made such a mistake more than once. The family doctor


    has emphasized the food to be avoided, but you kept making the same mistake. Pack your bags now


    and nevere back. From now on, the kitchen chores will be left to Patricia and the others!"


    Grace had worked at the Ramsey''s mansion for more than 20 years, but she had never been so


    wronged.


    She wiped her tears and said, "Mr. Seth, I have been in this family for nearly thirty years. You...You


    can''t just drive me away like this!"


    Seth frowned and was quite fidgety.


    Nancy had taken a tough stand on this matter.


    She left no leeway for Grace.


    If Seth punished Grace lightly, he would lose his prestige in the Ramsey family, and then no one would


    be afraid of him in the future.


    However, he knew that Grace could not be fired.


    After all, she had worked for the Ramsay family for nearly 30 years, and no one knew his temper and


    preferences better than she did.


    Natalie nced sideways at Seth and saw the hesitation on his face.


    Apparently, he was thinking about how to deal with it.


    After thinking for a moment, Natalie came forward and took the ss from Seth''s hand. Then she


    patted his heart for him and said softly with her lips pursed, "Grandpa, Grace is indeed aged, but she


    has also worked in this family for so many years, and no one knows your preferences better than her.


    Therefore, it''s a bit too cruel to kick her out. How about this?"


    She paused deliberately.


    Seth looked at her. "Say it!"


    Natalie continued, "Deduct Grace''s performance bonus and 30% of her sry this month. Then, as


    Nancy has said, hand over the kitchen chores to Patricia and the others, and Grace will only be in


    charge of the overall arrangement."


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Her words perfectly demonstrated her high EQ.


    She not onlyplied with Seth''s wishes, but she did not embarrass Nancy either.


    After all, Nancy was now on her and Kendrick''s side.


    Natalie was quite confident that Seth would agree with her.


    As she had expected, after Seth listened to her words, his face softened a lot. He took the out given by


    Natalie and said, "OK, just do as you said."


    Then he pointed to Grace and said, "Don''t make such mistakes again."


    Natalie softly said, "Grandpa, you haven''t had breakfast yet. How about some oatmeal?"


    Seeing her smart look, Seth thought that she was very considerate, for she had guessed his mind. As a


    result, he nodded kindly and said, "OK."


    Natalie raised her eyes and said, "Grace, make some oatmeal, and prepare two tablets of EPA for


    Grandpa to take with the meal. I''ll go to the kitchen with you."


    As she said this, her voice was no longer soft, but somewhatmanding.


    Grace nodded in trepidation.


    As Natalie passed Kendrick, the two of them met each other in the eye.


    Natalie even winked at him.


    "What''s she nning to do?" Kendrick couldn''t help but think.


    ...


    After entering the kitchen, Grace began to cook the oatmeal.


    Natalie ordered her, "Go and get a ss of sugar-free milk."


    Grace was in aplicated mood. She turned her head, and when she saw Natalie''s cold eyes, her


    heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head to get milk.


    She poured the milk into a ss, ced two tablets of EPA on a lid, and put them all in a tray. After


    that, she said to Natalie, "The oatmeal will be okay in ten minutes."


    "OK!" Natalie answered. Then she walked up to Grace with both hands crossed in front of her chest


    and looked down at her.


    In fact, Natalie''s face was innocent and gentle.


    When she smiled, she looked cute and soft.


    However, when she looked at someone, her eyes exuded an overbearing aura beyond her age.


    "Grace!" Natalie said to her, "Do you know why I spoke for you today?"


    Grace was stunned for a while. Her level of education and ability to analyze logically were not good


    enough to support her thinking about suchplex things.


    However, she knew that Natalie was definitely not well-intentioned.


    "Nancy was going to drive you away, but I stopped her." Natalie said in a calm tone, "As you have


    seen, Grandpa listened to me very much, so he just deducted your bonus but didn''t fire you."


    She drew close, lowered her voice, and said, "I just want you to know who''s the boss in this family."


    Meanwhile, she thought, "Of course, Seth is the boss in the Ramsey family.


    I was only taking advantage of his favor.


    Even so, it was enough to fool Grace, who is stupid.


    Anyway, Grandpa had indeed listened to me these times."


    At that moment, Natalie felt like a scheming viin.


    She decided to act like a real viin. She put her hands on Grace''s shoulders and pressed her


    downward.


    This was the perfect pose to break down a person''s mental defenses and make her feel inferior.


    "If you and the people under yourmand dare to treat Mr. Ramsey differently, despise, or even


    ignore him again..." Natalie stared into Grace''s eyes and said word for word in a cold voice, "I''ll always


    have a way to get you all out of here right away. Do you understand?"


    Grace''s lips quivered, and her hands trembled.


    She was angry, even humiliated.


    Seeing that she didn''t speak, Natalie increased her grip and raised her eyebrows. "Do you


    understand?"


    "I see."


    In the end, Grace sumbed to her overbearing aura.


    Hearing this, Natalie finally let go of her. She went to pick up the bowl of cubilose that had not been


    served, lifted the lid, and, under Grace''s gaze, scooped up a mouthful. After she put it in her mouth,


    she nodded and said, "It tastes quite good!"


    Grace almost fainted with anger.


    When Natalie came out with the cubilose, only Kendrick and Nancy were left in the living room.


    Seth had probably gone upstairs to rest.


    Nancy was talking about something, and Kendrick kept showing a cold face.


    Natalie walked over and sat down,pletely ignoring Nancy. Then she scooped a spoonful of


    cubilose and put it in her mouth, saying, "It''s really delicious."


    Nancy nced at her and said, "This is cubilose curd, the most nutritious part of the cubilose!"


    Hearing this, Natalie thought, "I knew it! Melvin, that brute, eats a lot better than us."


    She scooped a spoonful, handed it to Kendrick''s lips, and said, "Try it!"


    She bit her lip and whispered, "It tastes much better than what we just ate."


    Kendrick lowered his head and opened his mouth, and Natalie put the spoon into his mouth.


    In the past, Natalie had no idea why some people just liked to take away other people''s favorites.


    However, she understood it perfectly now, for it was very pleasant to do so.


    When Natalie took a spoonful of cubilose herself and prepared to feed Kendrick with another, Nancy


    said in disdain, "Come on, stop being lovey-dovey at the crack of dawn. Do you have to share the


    same bowl of cubilose like this? It''s disgusting."


    After saying that, she seemed to have had enough of it. She nced at them and then left with great


    disdain.


    Natalie''s hand froze, and she lowered her head in silence.


    Seeing this, Kendrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don''t you feed me again?"

 Chapter 59 The Treatment Plan for Kendrick

    Chapter 59 The Treatment n for Kendrick


    Chapter 59 The Treatment n for Kendrick


    In early September, Owen finally returned from his overseas academic exchanges.


    At the same time, Kendrick asked someone to contact him.


    Before that, Owen had the intention of re-diagnosing Kendrick, but he was decisively rejected.


    The reason was that Kendrick would not waste his time on small probability events that were almost


    impossible.


    Therefore, Owen was surprised that someone had sessfully persuaded Kendrick to ept medical


    treatment again after years of refusing.


    [You''re really a prophet. Kendrick''s guy has contacted me. I think he has regained hope. However, I am


    not sure whether I will seed in helping him regain the ability to walk. This has no precedent in the


    whole human world. If I give him hope now but let him down in the end, I''ll feel guilty!]


    As a qualified doctor, he had a good heart.


    Owen sent an email to his imaginary predecessor on the eve of returning to Hamgrad.


    At the same time, Natalie was doing an acupuncture experiment in her room.


    Fearing that she might be discovered as she had been thest time, she stuffed a towel into her mouth.


    This acupuncture experiment was more effective than thest time.


    The response of the newly stimted acupoints was more intense than that of thest time.


    However, repeated stimtion of the same acupoint resulted in nerve fatigue and little effect.


    In this case, a slight electric stimtion could be considered.


    Natalie simted it in her mind.


    Then she thought, "I can''t electrify myself directly anyway.


    What''s more, there is no such condition for me to do so."


    Natalie spat out the towel and saw some faint blood stains on it, which should have been caused by


    her excessive biting.


    She leaned on the bed, took out her mobile phone, and then saw the email sent by Owen.


    After reading it, she said in her heart, "He''s indeed a talented doctor as I am!


    Great minds think alike."


    [Kendrick doesn''t count on this at all, so he won''t be disappointed. Therefore, you don''t have to worry!]


    Natalie e-mailed back to Owen to answer his concerns.


    [Then why did he suddenly contact me?]


    Seeing this, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "Why does he have so many questions?"


    [Put aside these unnecessary questions and worries. What you need to do now is to set up an expert


    team as soon as possible to confirm a diagnosis and treatment n. I will give you the main direction.


    The detailed implementation n will be adjusted and refined ording to your initial diagnosis and


    treatment results.]


    After Owen received this email, he was greatly relieved.


    He thought, "The person at the other end of theputer is really an expert!


    He must be an experienced doctor.


    That''s why he is so calm."


    ...


    In fact, Natalie was not calm.


    On the contrary, she was also worried.


    After all, the target of the treatment was Kendrick.


    Fortunately, she had a strong will and excellent self-regtion.


    Therefore, her negative emotions were quickly subdued.


    That night, she couldn''t fall asleep at all.


    As a result, she got up and read a book about neurology. She thought she would be sleepy after


    reading it for a while, like when she had to prepare for an exam at school. The more she read,


    however, the more awake she became.


    The next day, she got up with tworge dark circles.


    Natalie never wore make-up at home.


    She did so to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.


    For example, as an honest girl, Ashlynn would report anything she saw to Kendrick.


    She did not dare to hide anything from Kendrick.


    After all, Kendrick was her employer.


    Naturally, Natalie couldn''tin about that.


    To cover her dark circles, she even put on delicate makeup before going downstairs.


    Then she saw Rose, Ashlynn, and Alisson unpacking some boxes in the living room downstairs.


    Natalie asked, "Whose deliveries are these? There are so many of them."


    Rose turned to look at her and exined, "These are the newly released autumn clothes of all major


    brands. Mr. Ramsey asked me to choose for you. Please keep the ones you like.


    "Their sizes all fit, you just need to see if you like their styles and colors."


    Hearing this, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "Is this the life of a richdy?


    These clothes have just been released, and they are now brought to me to try on.


    Besides, they are almost all luxuries. Some of them are customized and can''t even be bought with


    money. I''m afraid only super VIPs are qualified to get them."


    Rose had a unique vision and was responsible for the business of the president''s office. She was also


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    in charge of choosing the gifts that Kendrick would give to his business partners.


    Natalie stretched out her hand and put it on the handrail of the stairs. Then she asked, "Do I have to try


    all of these?"


    Rose did not know what her previous habits were, so she respectfully said, "It''s up to you, Mrs.


    Ramsey."


    Her implied meaning was that if Natalie didn''t want to try on those clothes, she could also keep them


    all.


    Natalie chose several dresses, which she might need to wear on some important asions, and said,


    "I''ll keep these few dresses. You can return the rest!"


    Rose was surprised. "Don''t you like those?"


    Hearing this, Natalie thought, "Actually, they are all pretty.


    But I don''t need them all.


    I have a lot of new clothes from the current season in my wardrobe, and theirbels have not even


    been removed.


    It''s true that all girls like beautiful clothes.


    But there is no need to keep so many of them.


    What''s more, these are all bought with Kendrick''s money.


    Indeed, he''s very rich.


    However, I''m not the original host of this body.


    Therefore, I can''t use his money with a clear conscience."


    Thinking of this, Natalie exined, "They are good, but I''ve got a lot of beautiful clothes, which can fully


    satisfy my daily needs."


    "There will be shoes and essories tomorrow. May I ask whether you have any time to choose


    them?"


    Natalie said, "I have something to do tomorrow. I''m afraid I have no time to do that."


    She had to go to the International Neuroscience Seminar at Goldburg Hotel tomorrow.


    "Then let''s make another appointment!"


    "Well, just forget it." Natalie frowned. "I will choose them myself some other time in the future!"


    With so many clothes and shoes, it took a long time to try them on.


    And Natalie had no time for such trifles now.


    Rose had been working for years.


    Therefore, she knew what she should do was listen to Natalie.


    ...


    At the same time, Kendrick was in a meeting in the top conference room of Ramsey Group.


    Due to Melvin''s scandal, all kinds of videophones and on-site meetings had been held continuously in


    Ramsey Group to discuss solutions and whom to be in charge of the financial business as Melvin was


    absent this month.


    Because of Kendrick''s excellent performance not long ago, the board suggested that he should take it


    over.


    Kendrick sneered in his heart, "Am I here to clean up the mess for you?"


    He resolutely refused, "The business of Ramsey Hotel is steadily advancing, and the semiconductor-


    amp-chip project is about to start this month. As you all know, I am sick, and I can''t manage so many


    things at the same time. With so many capable people in the group, there should be someone who can


    bear this important responsibility!"


    His words were reasonable, and his tone even sounded a little aggrieved.


    The shareholders took the opportunity to vent their frustration with Melvin, saying he had made a mess


    of the group as soon as he arrived and had nearly ruined the financial business that had originally been


    the pir of the group. After they finishedining, they started to ask Kendrick toe back to


    take over the financial business.


    The atmosphere was deadlocked. Even when Seth called in person in the middle of the meeting,


    Kendrick still disagreed.


    He said in his heart, "First, I have to avoid suspicion instead of showing off.


    Second, I want Ramsey Finance''s stock price to bottom out so that I can merge it with Honest


    Securities when it goes bankrupt. I would then use my absolute shareholding advantage in Honest


    Securities to acquire shares of Ramsey Finance and thus gainplete control of Ramsey Group''s


    financial lifeline.


    Third, I''m not a saint. I also have a temper, okay?"


    Seeing his insistence, Seth could only give up trying to persuade him. He asked the shareholders to


    name a person on the phone.


    Hearing this, Kendrick raised his face and nced at everyone.


    His gaze was light, even emotionless.


    However, it was inexplicably frightening.


    After an unknown period of time, someone said boldly, "Kendrick, we know you are already in charge of


    many businesses. We can understand that. However, you have to choose a suitable person to take


    over this position. The financial business is very important, and the project cannot be put aside like


    this."


    Hearing that, Kendrick smiled faintly.

 Chapter 60 I Like You

    Chapter 60 I Like You


    Chapter 60 I Like You


    "Let Chad take this position!" Kendrick said.


    Chad was his uncle-inw and was a senior staff member in the group.


    He had worked hard for the group for twenty years.


    He had made no great achievements or big mistakes.


    He was just an ordinary clerk.


    However, he was good at picking sides.


    While everyone else sided with Kendrick''s uncles, he steadfastly chose Kendrick and remained loyal to


    him.


    In the project restructuringst time, he remained in the financial department under Kendrick''s order.


    In short, he was a man who could shut up everybody.


    Seeing that all the shareholders were silent, Kendrick said, "For the sake of fairness, let''s have a vote."


    Everyone thought there would at least be a secret ballot.


    However, Kendrick took the lead in raising his hand. "Time is limited. If you agree with Chad taking the


    position, just raise your hand. I agree."


    His eyes swept over everyone at the table again.


    More than two-thirds of the people raised their hands.


    That was to say, Chad seeded in taking the position.


    When Seth knew the result at home, he could not raise any objection.


    However, he was a little unhappy with Kendrick''s behavior of taking a retreat as a way to advance.


    He thought, "He''s really good at business.


    He''s only 26 years old, but his mind is so deep that I can''t even see through him."


    Seth didn''t like the feeling that he couldn''t control someone.


    ...


    After the meeting, the shareholders came to congratte Chad.


    Chad humbly said, "This opportunity is given by Mr. Ramsey. I''m really grateful for his promotion."


    Kendrick reached out his hand.


    Chad immediately crouched down.


    Kendrick patted him on the shoulder. "That''s because you''re capable enough to be unanimously


    recognized by the board!"


    Hearing this, the shareholders thought coincidentally, "Come on, Mr. Ramsey. You have directly raised


    your hand to agree.


    As a result, who would dare not agree?


    I''m afraid that the rest who didn''t raise their hands will be remembered by Mr. Ramsey!"


    Chad tteringly helped Kendrick push his wheelchair.


    At that moment, he felt that he was on the right team.


    He thought, "Although some people privately scold me as Kendrick''s dog.


    But so what?


    We are all dogs anyway.


    I picked the right boss, so I get a lot of benefits. However, those who follow the wrong boss get


    nothing."


    When arriving at Kendrick''s private office, Chad said, "Nancy has agreed to transfer her shares. May I


    ask when you will have time to sign the contract?"


    "It''s not time yet!" Kendrick said casually, "I''m not very satisfied with the price."


    Apparently, he wanted a lower price.


    Kendrick took out a gift box from his desk, and there was a PATEK PHILIPPE heritage watch inside.


    It was valuable.


    He handed it to Chad and praised him for his hard work.


    Kendrick had always been generous, especially to those who were beneficial to him.


    ...


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, Kendrick arrived home ahead of schedule.


    Natalie was watching the financial news on the sofa.


    As a result, she also knew that Kendrick had sessfully promoted Chad.


    As she was reading the news, shemented in her heart, "In this way, he can draw Nancy over to his


    side. And, he has managed to put his guy in the group''s finance department.


    Chad will definitely report everything to Kendrick.


    Also, he will promote the project only with Kendrick''s consent.


    Imperceptibly, Kendrick has doubled his power.


    I believe that if anyone dares to set against him, he wille to no good end!"


    As Natalie thought of this, she nced towards the door.


    Somehow, she felt a little uneasy.


    Kendrick was in a good mood today, and he did not look as grim as he used to.


    Natalie went to change his shoes. Suddenly, she heard him say, "Rose said that you returned almost all


    the newly released autumn clothes. Is that so?"


    Natalie nodded.


    "Don''t you like them?" Kendrick asked with concern.


    "I like them very much, but it''s a little wasteful to keep so many clothes in the wardrobe."


    "The styles selected by the brands this time are based on your previous preferences. Just tell Rose


    what you like now, and she will ask the brands to change."


    Kendrick said it casually, but Natalie thought of something else.


    Natalie was particrly sensitive, especially when it came to her changes.


    "My styles and preferences have changed a bit recently!" She smiled and exined, "Women are


    always fickle."


    Kendrick didn''t know what to say for a while.


    "Well, it sounds quite reasonable," he thought.


    Then he asked in a serious tone, "What do you like?"


    In fact, Kendrick didn''t know what Natalie liked.


    They had been married a year, but, except for a recent period, they had scarcely had any


    He remembered that at the Ramsey''s mansion that day, Natalie said she didn''t like handbags.


    And he could tell that she didn''t much like today''s newly released autumn clothes.


    "Except for food!" Kendrick stressed.


    Hearing this, Natalie debunked in her heart, "Do I really look like a foodie?


    I''m just a little interested in food!"


    Seeing that she didn''t speak, Kendrick said softly, "What else do you like?"


    All his gifts to others were prepared by Rose, and he had hardly bothered to learn the preferences of


    others.


    Natalie, however, was different in his heart.


    He wanted to know her preferences in advance so that he could get everything fully prepared for her.


    He was sure that he could satisfy all her material needs.


    Natalie puffed her face and smiled maliciously. "I like..." She paused deliberately. Then she leaned over


    to him and continued, "You!"


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    She repeated in her heart, "I like you!


    Only you.


    Everything else means nothing to me."


    Kendrick was stunned by her sudden confession.


    He lowered his face slightly to hide the unexpected panic in his eyes.


    Meanwhile, Natalie wasughing happily, revealing a look of having yed a prank sessfully.


    "What about you?" Natalie asked, "Do you like me?"


    Kendrick didn''t expect her to be so straightforward.


    He raised his eyes and looked into hers.


    Natalie''s eyes were sparkling, and there seemed to be stars inside.


    Looking at them, Kendrick thought, "She''s so smart, vivacious, lovely, and gentle.


    All the beautiful adjectives in the world should be used to describe her."


    Since Natalie didn''t get a positive answer, she was not satisfied. "I said I liked you, so you should also


    say you like me."


    "Why don''t you talk?" She puffed her face again. "Then I will take it as your acquiescence!"


    Kendrick raised his hand and put it to his lips.


    "Well, just take it as my acquiesce then!" he said in his heart.


    Seeing his silence, Natalie sighed in her heart, "My husband is really hard to train."


    Thinking of this, she said, "I have to go out tomorrow. All day!"


    "OK!"


    "I''ll go shopping," she added.


    Kendrick immediately said, "You can do what you like without deliberately telling me."


    ...


    The International Academic Exchange Conference officially began at 10 a.m.


    It was held at the Goldburg Hotel.


    It was a two-hour drive from their home to the hotel.


    To make it worse, there was a morning traffic jam.


    Therefore, Natalie took the subway there.


    After getting off the subway, Natalie walked straight ahead ording to the GPS.


    When she was approaching the door of the hotel, she was suddenly patted on her shoulder.


    Natalie turned back.


    Then she saw a tall, good-looking man with sses.


    The man was thin and handsome.


    The man pleaded, "Can you help me pay the fare? I just returned. I haven''t downloaded the payment


    app, and I don''t have any small changes now. Sorry to bother you."


    Natalie looked at him up and down for a moment.


    She thought he did not look like a liar.


    As she was hesitating, the tall man handed her the bank note in his hand and said, "Take this first. I


    won''t cheat you. Please, my meeting will start soon."


    Natalie was curious.


    She thought, "Is this person alsoing to participate in the International Academic Exchange


    Meeting?


    It seems that he''s also a professional in the field of neuroscience.


    Well, then I''ll do him a favor."


    Natalie took out her mobile phone and paid his taxi fare. Then she said, "Download a payment app. It


    will bring you great convenience if you stay in Hamgrad in the future."


    "I will remember it."


    Then the two of them walked forward side by side.


    It turned out that they had the same destination.


    The man said, "I''m going to attend a neuroscience seminar. What about you?"


    Natalie squinted and replied, "What a coincidence. Me too."


    However, when they arrived at the hotel entrance, Natalie was stopped.


    The reason was that she didn''t have an admission pass.


    In her previous life, she had always been invited as a distinguished guest to sit in the front VIP seats.


    Therefore, she had never heard of such a thing as an admission pass.

    Chapter 61 Poor at Communicating with Girls


    Natalie asked, "Can''t I go in without it?"


    The staff member nodded. "Of course, it is the rule."


    Natalie pointed at the man who had just gone in and asked, "He didn''t show it to you just now. Why did


    you let him in?"


    The staff member pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know who he is?"


    "A Heavyweight guest?" Natalie casually replied and shouted, "Sir, please wait!"


    When Owen turned around, he found Natalie stopped at the entrance, so he walked over.


    Natalie said, "I paid for your taxi fare just now!"


    "Thank you," Owen said, thinking he should not have forgotten to express his thanks.


    "You''re wee!"


    Owen had no change but a 20-dor bill. When he had given it to her, she had said she had no change


    either and told him to forget it.


    Owen guessed she regretted it now, so he took out the 20-dor bill, handed it to her, and said, "Please


    keep the change!"


    Natalie was speechless. What a weird man!


    Then, she said, "I want to participate in this academic exchange meeting, but I don''t have a ticket. Can


    you please take me in?"


    Owen said, "Huh? Okay, no problem."


    Then, he walked to the staff member who was in charge of the check-in and politely said, "This is my


    friend. We will attend the meeting together. Thank you."


    After they left the check-in desk, Natalie said, "Thank you! They said you are a heavyweight guest


    today."


    "Really?" Owen modestly smiled, "I will deliver a speech on stage."


    Then, he curiously looked at her and asked, "Are you a medical student?"


    Well, her face always made people mistakenly think of her as a college student. Maybe it was also


    because she was dressed casually today.


    She casually replied, "Yes, I study at Goldburg Medical University."


    Owen said in surprise, "I am your senior alumni!"


    Natalie thought, ¡°Senior alumni? I am your senior!¡±


    But she did not want to continue this topic, so she waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go in. The


    meeting is about to start."


    When they arrived at the door, an elder walked over and said, "Owen, you returned to Hamgrad


    yesterday, so it must a bit hasty for you to attend the meeting today. Have you drafted your speech?"


    "Why?" Owen said in confusion, "Mr. Shaw, I don''t need to draft my speech."


    Mr. Shaw was speechless.


    Looking at Natalie, he asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"


    Natalie sighed in her heart that matter where people were, their parents and mentors were always


    concerned about their emotional lives. But she had also noticed the elder had called the young


    man Owen.


    "Mr. Shaw, you misunderstood. She is a student at Goldburg Medical University. I am just her alumni!"


    "Really?" Mr. Shaw raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s your name? Are you an undergraduate or


    graduate student? What is your major?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    When she was about to tell him about her research during her doctoral period, a group of people


    suddenly came over.


    Mr. Shaw hurriedly walked toward the leader and said, "Sir, nice to meet you."


    When Natalie took the opportunity to slip away, Owen caught up with her and said, "I''ll ask the staff to


    add a seat for you next to me. The seats have the attendees¡¯ names on the back, so you can''t sit at


    will."


    Natalie looked at him and asked, "Are you Owen Gentry?"


    "Yes." Owen asked in surprise, "Do you know me?"


    Natalie nodded, calmly looked at him, and declined, "Thank you, but I can sit in the back row."


    If she sat next to him, the media might photograph her. This was an exchange meeting co-hosted by


    Goldburg Medical University and the Neurology Department of Goldburg Hospital. So, her face might


    appear in the school newspaper or the hospital¡¯s intr.


    She had a pretty face, and even her side face was unforgettable. So, she took out the mask and put it


    on, saying, "Sorry, I have an allergy."


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    She had bluntly rejected Owen. However, he was not angry but nodded. "OK, I''ll go to my seat now."


    Then, he added, "What¡¯s your name?"


    Natalie said through the mask, "We will meet again."


    Owen could hear this was a tactful refusal. Since she did not want to tell him, he politely smiled and


    walked away without asking again.


    The meeting started on time, and Natalie listened carefully. Even though they were talking about the


    most advanced research progress, their medical technologygged about ten years behind that in her


    world.


    She recorded the names of the presenters in her notebook, eliminated academic fakes, and marked


    the names of the big shots in several fields, intending to form an expert team with them in the future.


    Owen went on stage in the middle of the meeting and delivered a speech without notes, showing his


    profound professional knowledge. Within the current technological boundaries, he was at the top set in


    the industry. But he was quite humble. So, Natalie marked a big circle on his name and chose him!


    After delivering the speech, Owen saw Natalie get up to leave, so he pursed his lips, got up, and


    followed her out.


    Seeing her wait for the green light on the side of the road, he asked, "Are you going back to school?"


    Natalie looked up at him and shook her head. "No!"


    "Would you like to have lunch with me?" Owen gently said, "I want to thank you for paying the taxi


    fare."


    "Haven¡¯t you already thanked me?" Natalie said, "You took me into the meeting venue just now!"


    Did he have a bad memory?


    Owen was speechless, but he did not want to give up, so he said, "May I have your phone number?"


    "Do you want to discuss academic issues with me?" Natalie quickly said, "You can follow me on the


    question-and-answer tform. The number of my followers is growing steadily, and my ount is in


    the top set in my field."


    Suddenly, Owen didn''t know what to say. Later, he touched his forehead and said, "Okay, I will follow


    you."


    Natalie had just said it casually and had not expected him to agree so readily.


    Owen then asked, "What¡¯s your ount name?"


    Natalie kept silent.


    "I answer questions on that tform too." Owen was very persistent, saying, "And I am looking forward


    to discussing academic issues with you."


    Natalie then opened the app and showed him her ount.


    Owen was stunned and asked, "Is that your ount name?"


    "Yes! What''s wrong?"


    Owen was from a family of professors, so he was well-bred. He pursed his lips to control his expression


    and followed her. His ount had millions of followers while she had just registered her ount and


    answered a few questions.


    His followers affectionately called him God Owen. He had a handsome face and was a genius. So, he


    had countless female followers like a movie star.


    After counting the number of his followers, Natalie looked at her ount withplicated emotions


    and kept telling herself she was his senior!


    "I''m going back." Natalie waved to him and said, "See you!"


    Owen also waved his hand and said, "See you!"


    Staring after her, he felt a little frustrated, thinking he was indeed poor atmunicating with girls!


    --


    When Natalie got on the subway, she found the number of her followers was growing exponentially.


    And her ount name #QTM and #Owen follows QTM hade trending topics!


    In an instant, arge number of private messages flooded in.


    She had stayed upte and worked hard on the 3,000-word high-quality answer about neuroscience,


    but she had received only a few likes. And few people had sent messages to her before. She had only


    received messages from the system, asking her to buy a membership to listen to lectures.


    After Owen had answered a like, she instantly got more than a thousand likes.


    Everyone was discussing who QTM was. They thought since God Owen had followed QTM and given


    a like, thetter must be a big shot.

 Chapter 62 A Kick in the Face

    Chapter 62 AKick in the Face


    Chapter 62 A Kick in the Face


    Natalie silently turned off the phone.


    Although she had suddenly gotten 10,000 followers, she did not think it was a big deal.


    But she found the rumor that Owen was as popr as a movie star turned out to be true because most


    of her new followers were female.


    Fortunately, when she registered her ount, she had filled male in the gender column. Moreover, her


    ount name QTM did not sound feminine either.


    --


    Natalie got off the subway at the city center. She had said she would go shopping today, so she came


    to MAX Mall. But when standing in the huge music za, she felt a little confused, not knowing what to


    buy. After all, she had a lot of clothes, shoes, and bags at home.


    ncing at the ice cream shop, she tried to restrain her urge because she did not want to admit that


    she was a foodie. Three minutester, she had ice cream in her hand. But before she could take a bite,


    someone bumped into her and knocked her ice cream off to the ground.


    Before she could say anything, the person hurriedly said, "I''m so sorry!"


    The voice sounded familiar!


    So, Natalie asked with a frown, "Maggie?"


    "Nat, why are you here?"


    Maggie could hear Maggie''s breathing unsteady, so she guessed thetter was scared by something.


    Therefore, she asked, "Why are you so flustered?"


    "Someone is following me!" Maggie was wearing a mask and said in a muffled voice, "I have to get rid


    of them."


    After finishing speaking, she immediately ran toward the underground parking lot.


    Natalie stretched out a hand and said, "Wait!"


    Since someone was following her, she should run to an open and crowded ce instead of an


    underground parking lot! What a fool!


    Natalie felt worried, so she caught up with her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Let''s go to a crowded


    ce!"


    "No, I don''t want to be photographed." Maggie said, "If I am photographed like this, they will put the


    photos on the inte and nder me."


    Hearing this, Natalie remembered Maggie was a star.


    Recently, her new drama had been broadcast and received a lot of negativements. Manyizens


    scolded her for wasting resources and said she the shame of the entertainment industry, asking her to


    quit acting. Natalie had been too busy these days, so she had not paid attention to it.


    "My car is in the parking lot, and I will hide in it." Maggie firmly said, "Nat, don''t worry about me. You


    go!"


    Natalie refused, "No!"


    She must not stay out of it when knowing Maggie was in trouble. After all, if anything happened to


    Maggie, the entire Ramsey family would me her.


    Natalie grabbed her hand and said, "Let''s go to your car together and call the police!"


    "We can''t call the police." Maggie said, "If Grandpa knows about it, he will force me to quit acting right


    away!"


    Natalie was speechless.


    While talking, they arrived at the underground parking lot.


    Maggie pressed the car key and looked around for her car because she forgot where she had parked it.


    Natalie calmlyforted her, saying, "Don''t worry, think carefully. Which area did you park it in?"


    "Area G! Let''s go!"


    But after they took only two steps, a figure suddenly shed in front of them, blocking the way.


    "Maggie!"


    When the young man in the peaked cap suddenly raised his head, they saw a cold light shing in his


    narrow eyes.


    "Who are you?"


    Maggie was so nervous that her hand holding Natalie''s arm was trembling.


    "Someone hired me to teach you a lesson!"


    What the hell? How bold that person was! Maggie was the heroine of this novel.


    When Natalie was deep in thought, the young man was approaching them.


    Both the two women looked thin, so he believed he could handle them easily. He soon took out an iron


    rod from his waist while walking toward them step by step.


    Maggie made a quick decision, shook off Natalie''s hand, and said in a faint voice, "Let''s run


    separately."


    Natalie pushed her and said, "I''ll count to three, and you will run to your car."


    "OK!"


    "Don''t go the wrong way."


    She was still worried about Maggie.


    Maggie bit her lower lip and said, "I... won''t!"


    "One! Two! Three!"


    They decisively ran in different directions.


    After being stunned for a while, the man immediately chased after Maggie.


    The second floor of the underground parking lot was huge and empty. MAX Mall was a high-end


    shopping mall, so there were few customers. Now, no one else was in the parking lot.


    "Come out! I know where you are!"


    Hearing this, Maggie shivered with fear behind a car.


    "I found you!" The young man let out a wretchedugh and said, "When I catch you, you will be


    finished."


    He then approached the car step by step.


    "Hey, man!"


    Suddenly, someone called him from behind. When he turned around, he saw the girl who had been


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    with Maggie just now.


    He wielded the iron rod and said, "Mind your own business. Otherwise, I''ll also teach you a lesson."


    Natalie shook her head, "I don''t want to help her. I saw her."


    While speaking, she winked at Maggie, telling her to get in her car right away.


    "Where is she?"


    Natalie looked over his shoulder and replied, "She is behind you."


    Hearing this, the man instantly turned around, but he did not see anyone.


    Now, Maggie had arrived in the gap between the wall and the passenger seat, hiding well.


    "F*ck you! Ah!"


    A shrill scream suddenly sounded in the underground parking lot.


    Natalie had twisted two thin metallic chains of her bag into a bundle andshed the young man hard in


    the face without blinking her eyes. And her attack was forceful, fast, and precise, aiming at his eyes.


    The young man immediately dropped the rod, covered his eyes with both hands, and rolled all over the


    ground in pain. And his screams sounded particrly horrifying in the empty parking lot.


    "Get in the car!" Natalie said in a deep voice.


    After Maggie tremblingly climbed into the passenger seat, Natalie also ran toward the car.


    "Be careful!" Maggie shouted in horror.


    When the man lying on the ground reached out to grab Natalie''s leg, she dodged his hand. So, he took


    out a dagger with his other hand and tried to stab her.


    Natalie moved sideways, but the sharp de still hurt her calf, and she heard flesh splitting.


    Regardless of the pain, she kicked him in the face so hard that he passed out.


    Natalie quickly got into the driver''s seat and said, "Fasten your seat belt!"


    Maggie asked, "Are you driving?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie stepped hard on the elerator, and the car shot out.


    It was a nice car with powerful engines!


    When the car was running to the exit on the first floor, they suddenly saw a white lighting over. A


    car was rushing toward them!


    Natalie swerved sharply, and the tires brushed against the ground hard, making a harsh sound. Then,


    their car made a turn and ran away when it was only a few centimeters away from that weird car.


    But the weird car quickly turned around and followed up. Their target must be Maggie.


    Maggie leaned back on the passenger seat with a pale face, feeling dizzy.


    She had also seen the car behind, so she said, "That car is following us!"


    Natalie calmly said, "Don''t worry. We will get rid of it."


    She then mmed the elerator and rushed to the main road. It was the green light ahead, so she


    kept stepping on the elerator, intending to pass the crossroad quickly.


    Suddenly, a huge truck rushed toward them from the left, honking harshly!


    Maggie clutched the armrest with a bloodless face. And her teeth rattled because of the adrenaline


    rush when she shouted, "Ah! We will have a crash!"

 Chapter 63 Omnipotent but Modest

    Chapter 63 Omnipotent but Modest


    Chapter 63 Omnipotent but Modest


    When Natalie gripped the steering wheel and pursed her lips into a straight line, her mind was racing at


    high speed to judge the current situation.


    If she immediately turned on the emergency braking system to stop the car, it would take 1.7 to 2


    seconds. But it did not include the time she would spend mming the brakes. Sudden braking at a


    speed of 120 mph would cause a sideslip. And ording to the speed of the truck, it would crash into


    their car in 3 seconds.


    So, Natalie turned the steering wheel to the right without hesitation and tightly pressed her right foot on


    the elerator, not daring to let go in the slightest.


    Maggie was the heroine of this novel. Please have some Character Shield!


    Three secondster, the truck passed behind them and blocked the car following them.


    Maggie almost vomited, and her head banged heavily on the car window. When she looked up, she


    saw another caring over and shouted, "Be careful!"


    Natalie let go of the elerator, lightly tapped the brakes to evade it, and turned the steering wheel.


    Then, their car merged into the traffic flow of the rush hour.


    It was not until then did she dare to rx a little. She had been too nervous, so her brain was rapidly


    secreting dopamine, and her forehead was beaded with sweat.


    So, she took out a tissue to wipe off her sweat and said in a hoarse voice, "It''s okay now. We have


    gotten rid of that car."


    Maggie''s pupils dted when she leaned back in the passenger seat and kept holding on to the


    armrest. After a while, she said, "Are you sure?"


    Then, she looked back and saw the sun was setting. The evening glow dyed the sky crimson like the


    rouge on a girl''s face. Now, she felt like a lucky survivor from a holocaust.


    Three secondster, she screamed in the passenger seat like a groundhog.


    Natalie resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Maggie replied loudly, "I was so scared. I thought the truck would crash into our car. I didn''t expect we


    could survive. You are amazing!"


    Natalie smiled, "Am I cool?"


    "Yes!" She gave Natalie a thumbs up with an admiring face.


    If she hadn''t met Nat, she would have gotten into big trouble. Fortunately, Nat had saved her.


    Natalie thought, "I am not only being the viin but also doing what the hero should do."


    Maggie asked in confusion, "Why are you so good at driving? I''ve never seen you drive before."


    "I''m modest, so I don''t like to show off. But I''m omnipotent!"


    Maggie was speechless because she had not expected her to praise herself like this.


    After calming down, Natalie asked, "Who have you offended recently?"


    Maggie had never revealed her rtionship with the Ramsey family in the entertainment circle because


    she wanted to seed with her efforts. But sometimes, people could not seed no matter how hard


    they worked.


    She replied sullenly, "I don''t know!"


    Hearing this, Natalie looked sideways at her with sharpness in her eyes.


    Maggie leaned back in the passenger seat and said, "My drama has beenunched recently, and many


    people are scolding and threatening me in various ces every day. Maybe that man is an anti-fan?"


    Natalie shook her head and sighed, "The man said someone hired him to teach you a lesson, right?"


    While driving, she raised one hand, circled it near her ear, and continued, "Think about it carefully.


    Maybe some of your peers in the entertainment circle are jealous of your role?"


    Maggie nodded thoughtfully.


    Suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Are you injured?"


    When Natalie bowed her head, she saw her calf bleeding profusely.


    Under the high nervousness, she had forgotten about the pain just now.


    Looking at the wound worriedly, Maggie said with a deep frown, "Let''s go to the hospital!"


    "No need!" Natalie refused and asked, "What if you are photographed?"


    "But you..."


    "How far is your home? Do you have a first-aid kit?"


    "Yes, I have one. But my home is twenty minutes drive away."


    Natalie pulled over and said, "Let''s go to your ce. You will drive."


    Then, she got out of the car, sat in the spacious back seat, took a pair of scissors out of the storage,


    and cut off a piece of fabric from her pants, intending to tie it on her calf to stop the bleeding. Anyway,


    the trousers had been damaged by the man.


    Maggie''s apartment was in Grande Garden where a lot of celebrities lived. Every day, many people


    went there to take pictures.


    After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Maggie helped Natalie out of the car and asked,


    "Nat, can you walk?"


    "No problem."


    "The elevator is over there." Maggie carefully held her arm and asked, "Should I send for a doctor?"


    Natalie pursed her lips and then replied, "No need. I''ll handle it myself!"


    Seeing her so firm, Maggie didn''t know how to persuade her.


    The elevator went directly to the apartment. After entering Maggie''s apartment, Natalie sat on the sofa


    and examined the wound.


    Fortunately, she had quickly stepped aside. The wound was not big, so there was no need to suture it.


    She just needed to stop the bleeding. But it would hurt for a while.


    "I need medicinal alcohol, cotton balls, povidone-iodine, tweezers, bandages, and gauze." Natalie


    asked, "Do you have antibiotic ointment?"


    Hearing this, Maggie directly moved the first-aid kit over.


    Natalie disinfected her hands with alcohol pads, soaked the cotton balls in povidone-iodine, and then


    cleaned the wound.


    As soon as the cotton balls touched the wound, she felt a burning sensation and gasped in pain.


    Maggie hurriedly apologized, "I''m sorry, Nat. You would not have been injured if I had not bumped into


    you."


    Natalie blurted out, "It''s okay. I volunteered to help you."


    After finished speaking, she felt something wrong because it sounded like a hero''s line.


    Maggie stood aside and watched her calmly deal with the wound. It must hurt very much, but Natalie


    didn''t even frown. So, admiration suddenly arose in Maggie''s heart.


    What a strong woman!


    "How are you going to deal with this matter?" Natalie raised her head and asked while treating the


    wound, "Will you leave it to your agent?"


    "Yeah!" Maggie nodded, "I''ll talk to herter."


    "She will ask you to pretend nothing happened," Natalie said with a frown after recalling the plot of the


    novel.


    Now, Maggie''s agent was still an extremely unreliable woman.


    Maggie wanted to seed in the entertainment industry with her efforts, so few outsiders knew she


    was the princess of the Ramsey family.


    "Who haspeted with you for the role in this drama?"


    "Ste Oliver!"


    Natalie had a little impression of this name. In the novel, she was a viin who won some acting


    awards. She was good at acting and hypocritical. And she was Maggie''s good friend in the early stage.


    "Guard against her."


    "Ms. Oliver is gentle and kind. She wouldn''t do such a thing to harm me," Maggie said.


    Natalie fell silent, but anger was burning in her heart. However, she resisted the urge to scold Maggie


    and decided to forget it.


    Now, Ste hadn''t shown her true colors yet, so she was a kind person in Maggie''s eyes.


    "Come here. Help me hold the gauze." Natalie instructed, "Press the edges. Don''t put your whole hand


    on it. Otherwise, I cannot bandage the wound."


    Maggie''s eyes suddenly turned red.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie had rolled up her loose pants to her thighs, so Maggie saw the red spots like needle holes from


    her knees to her thighs at a nce when walking over. So, she asked, "Nat, what''s wrong with your


    legs? Why are there so many red spots?"

    Chapter 64 Beautiful and Cool


    Natalie casually replied, "I felt unwell in my legs several days ago, so I had an acupuncture treatment."


    Maggie looked up at her and said with a deep frown, "It must be painful. When I was forced to have an


    acupuncture treatmentst time, it hurt for a long time."


    The nerves in the knees were sensitive, so it hurt badly.


    Natalie perfunctorily nodded and raised her voice when saying, "Focus on your hands."


    The gauze was crooked!


    "Okay!" Maggie nodded and righted the gauze.


    After bandaging her calf up, Natalie slumped on the sofa and asked, "Are you sure you''re not going to


    tell your family about this?"


    Maggie said, "If they know about it, they will not allow me to work in the entertainment industry


    anymore. But I haven''t fulfilled my dream yet."


    She had loved acting since childhood, so she entered the entertainment industry. Being the princess of


    the Ramsey family was morefortable, and she could make more money. But she had still decided


    to follow her dream.


    Natalie gently said, "But if you keep them in the dark, they will feel more worried. ording to Murphy''s


    "I..." Maggie was speechless.


    She was only twenty years old, so she was inexperienced and gullible, unable to think rationally and


    maturely.


    "I''m just giving you a piece of advice. You are an adult, so you have your logic and principles." Natalie


    said softly, "You can do whatever you want as long as you can bear the consequences of your


    choices."


    Maggie looked at her in surprise.


    Natalie was the same age as her, but she somehow looked mature and calm like Ken! Nat''s and Ken''s


    temperaments were indeed simr. He was also always calm as if he did not care about anything. They


    both were gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. Sure enough, after being together for a long


    time, a couple would be more like each other.


    What a perfect match they were!


    Maggie lowered her eyes and replied, "I''ll think about it carefully!"


    She was a little confused, not knowing what to do. But she admitted Natalie''s words made sense. After


    hesitating for a while, she decided to have a meal first.


    So, she took out her phone and said, "Let''s order takeaway!"


    Natalie nodded, "Order something expensive to reward me."


    "No problem!" Maggie sincerely said, "Thank you, Nat! We''re best friends now, right?"


    Natalieughed, "Sure!"


    After choosing an expensive restaurant and cing the order, Maggie opened Twitter. But soon, her


    smile froze on her face because Natalie had be a trending topic!


    Someone posted a video of her beating the attacker in the underground parking lot online. In the video,


    Natalieshed the man with the metal chain and kicked him in the face, looking decisive, calm, and


    ruthless. And her attacks were fast and urate without hesitation.


    The person who had posted the video had blurred her face to protect her privacy and wrote, "Facing an


    attacker, the youngdy defeated him with one strike. Her attacks are neat and hard, and she looks


    beautiful and cool. Do you like her it?"


    Maggie had felt flustered at first. But after reading thements, she found everyone was praising


    Natalie. So, she breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over, and said, "Nat, you became a trending topic!


    Everyone is praising you!"


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "Really?"


    She took Maggie''s phone over and flipped through thements.


    "What a cool youngdy! I want to marry her!"


    "Wow, her attacks are ruthless. Are the man''s eyeballs OK?"


    "The man attacked her with a knife! Is she injured?"


    "Girls, let''s learn from thisdy and carry a chain bag outside."


    Natalie stroked her chin and showed a smug smile. They said she was beautiful and cool! And she


    liked thement and agreed with them!


    While swiping her phone, she asked, "Do you know what I was afraid of the most then?"


    Seeing Maggie shake her head, she said, "I was afraid you could not take the hint when I winked at


    you. Fortunately, you''re smart." Natalie took her chain bag over and said, "I tricked him into turning


    around and immediatelyshed him in the face, making him roll in pain on the ground!"


    Natalie returned the phone to Maggie and added, "Unfortunately, no one knows who I am!"


    When she thought of this, her smile suddenly froze. Then, she grabbed Maggie''s hand and asked, "My


    face is blurred, so no one will recognize me, right?"


    "Yes!" Maggie nodded firmly but soon lowered her voice when saying, "I guess so."


    "Huh?" Natalie frowned.


    "Your bag is a summer limited edition of the G brand. There are few in our country. If someone carefully


    investigates..."


    "Shut up!" Natalie stopped her.


    In the morning, she had said goodbye to Kendrick with this bag on her shoulder and even intentionally


    patted it when telling him she was going shopping!


    "Maggie, is your PR team reliable? Can they delete the post?"


    Natalie despaired as soon as finishing speaking. If they were reliable, Maggie would not have been


    harshly scolded for being poor at acting online all the time. On the question-and-answer tform, she


    was always one of the most hated actresses in votes.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie said, "If Ken sees it, both of us will be finished."


    She could imagine his tone when he scolded her. And she didn''t want him to get angry with or ignore


    her.


    "Maggie, hurry up and contact your PR team. Ask them to buy some other trending topic to suppress


    this one."


    Maggie nodded, "Okay, I''ll call them right away."


    After she called Ray, her PR manager, and asked him to help delete the trending topic, he agreed.


    Ten minutester, the trending topic was removed, and all the rted videos could not be yed


    anymore. And when Natalie searched the keywords, she found even the relevant posts had all been


    deleted.


    Ray seemed vigorous and resolute!


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and praised without reserve, "Your PR team is unexpectedly efficient!"


    Suddenly, Maggie''s cell phone vibrated when receiving a message.


    She then nced at Natalie and said, "Ray said someone deleted all rted information and banned


    the discussion before he could do anything."


    When Natalie was confused, her phone suddenly rang.


    The mobile phone on the coffee table kept vibrating with Ken''s name on the screen.


    The call was from Ken, but he barely called her because he didn''t have much to say to her.


    So...


    Natalie didn''t reach out her hand but turned to face Maggie, saying, "You answer the call!"


    Maggie kept silent because she did not want to answer the call either.


    "Ken is just calling for you!" Maggie moved away from her and said, "Pick it up! Maybe you''re thinking


    too much!"


    Hearing the phone keep ringing, so Natalie slowly stretched out her hand, picked it up, closed her eyes,


    and bit the bullet to press the connect button.


    "Where are you now?" Ken asked in an anxious and tired voice on the phone, losing his usual


    calmness.

 Chapter 65 Ken Wont Be Angry

    Chapter 65 Ken Won''t Be Angry


    Chapter 65 Ken Won''t Be Angry


    Natalie adjusted her breath because she did not want him to hear anything wrong. After all, she had


    just hit an attacker in an underground parking lot and raced on the street.


    "I''m in Maggie''s apartment." Natalie moved the phone closer to Maggie and said, "I''m going to have


    dinner with her before going home."


    Maggie smartly interrupted, "Ken, Nat is with me. I''ll send her back after dinner. Don''t worry."


    "Are you together with her all the time today?"


    Natalie''s ears perked up because she knew something was wrong. The schemed man was trying to


    induce Maggie into telling him something. So, she hurriedly winked at her.


    But Maggie did not understand the deep meaning in his words, so she nodded heavily, "Yes, we met at


    the mall and went shopping together."


    Maggie''s face was not shown in the video, and Natalie had not mentioned meeting her at the mall. But


    Maggie had confessed without being pressed.


    Hearing her words, Kendrick replied in a calm voice, "I see."


    Natalie took the phone over and said withplicated emotions in her heart, "I''ll be back around ten."


    Hearing him keep silent, she said, "Well, I will be back at eight!"


    "OK!" Kendrick replied without asking any more questions.


    After Natalie hung up the phone, Maggie said happily, "I told you that you were thinking too much!"


    She then confidently continued, "He doesn''t know it at all."


    Natalie looked at her with pity, thinking she was indeed na?ve. No! she should pity herself now! So, she


    slumped on the sofa and pondered with a frown.


    Did Kendrick know about it? If he knew, how should she exin it when she went back? Maybe, she


    just needed to wait for him to ask. But when he asked, she should...


    Natalie was confused, thinking this matter was moreplicated than the Lagrangian function


    equation.


    It was all Maggie''s fault. If she had not spilled the beans, things would not have be so


    troublesome!


    Even if Kendrick had recognized her in the video, she would just need to exin for herself. Now, she


    might have to lie for Maggie too.


    Thinking of this, she sighed, turned to look at Maggie, and said, "Peel an apple for me."


    Maggie replied pitifully, "But I don''t know how to peel apples."


    Well, she had forgotten Maggie had people peel apples and shrimp for her every day.


    Natalie picked up an apple from the fruit basket and handed it to her, saying, "Wash it! You know how


    to wash apples, right?"


    --


    "Mr. Ramsey, the video has been handed to the police, and they will identify the attacker based on his


    facial features soon."


    Nigel continued, "The full version of the surveince video is still being downloaded."


    "No need." Kendrick stared at theputer screen, put his index finger on his lips, and said, "Go and


    find out who Maggie has offended recently."


    "Does this matter have anything to do with Maggie?"


    After Kendrick reached out to tap on the Bluetooth keyboard, the picture on theputer screen


    instantly erged. Then, he pointed at it and said, "This is her car."


    Even though only a car logo and the upper part of the license te were captured, he had recognized it


    at a nce. Moreover, Maggie had admitted it herself.


    When Nigel was about to go out, Kendrick stopped him, wrote down a license te number on the


    paper, and handed it to him, saying, "Check the traffic vition information about this car today."


    "Yes, Mr. Ramsey!"


    After Nigel went out, Kendrick watched the video again. The attacker''s target was not Natalie.


    Otherwise, he would not have talked with her for tens of seconds beforeunching the attack. After all,


    it would make him lose the upper hand. Moreover, if he had not looked back after being distracted,


    Natalie would not haveshed him in the face with the metal chain so smoothly. Her attacks were


    ruthless and urate! In the end, the attacker took out a knife and shed at her calf with his right


    hand.


    Kendrick raised his hand to stroke his chin and narrowed his ck eyes.


    Twenty minutester, he received the traffic vition information about the car.


    Speeding, driving through a red light, reverse driving, and changingnes without a signal.


    And he had also received videos of the car viting traffic regtions.


    Since getting out of MAX Mall, the driver had been on the verge of losing his or her driver''s license


    forever. But Kendrick could see the driver had good driving skills and was bold and careful. After


    avoiding a collision with a truck, the car got rid of the car following it and soon merged into the traffic


    flow during rush hour.


    If the driver had not been skilled or calm enough, there would have been a severe car ident, and the


    News Channel would have reported it.


    Maggie?


    No!


    She had just obtained her driver''s license and could barely drive alone.


    But if it was not Maggie, who would it be?


    Kendrick sped his hands and pressed them against his forehead.


    He knew Natalie had a driver''s license. Before they had gotten married, the Quinn family had sent all


    her personal information and hobbies to the Ramsey family. And Old Mr. Ramsey was very satisfied


    with her.


    Kendrick raised his head, leaned back, and pursed his thin lips tightly.


    After a while, he asked Nigel in and ordered, "Delete all these videos."


    Nigel hastily nodded. When he turned around to leave, he saw Kendrick stretch out to rub his eyebrows


    as if having a headache. So, he wondered whether the woman in the video was Mrs. Ramsey. But he


    didn''t dare to ask. However, he became sure about it after a second thought. If it were not for her, Mr.


    Ramsey would not have canceled a meeting to deal with this matter.


    --


    While waiting for the takeaway, Natalie followed Maggie into her walking wardrobe to change her pants.


    The overall design of Maggie''s apartment was like a princess''s castle. And she was also as kind-


    hearted as a princess. Sometimes, she was much too kind.


    She was dearly loved by his parents and brothers, so her life was supposed to be smooth and happy


    forever. If she had not met Jared Brewer, she would not suffer so much.


    When the sliding door of a wardrobe automatically opened, Maggie stretched out her hand and said,


    "These pants are new. I haven''t removed the tags yet. Choose the one pair you like."


    Natalie chose a pair of ck sports pants and said, "This one!"


    "Nat, how tall are you?" Maggie suddenly asked.


    Natalie answered casually, "5.5 feet."


    5.5 feet was her height. So, even when wearing t shoes, she looked much taller than the average


    girl.


    Maggie gestured with her hand and asked, "Really?"


    She did not think Natalie was 5.6 feet tall.


    "But we look about the same height. I''m 5.4 feet tall," she said.


    Only then did Natalie remember that she had changed her body. Now, she was only 5.4 feet tall, 0.2


    feet shorter than before.


    She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her face, feeling familiar yet strange.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Maggieforted her, saying, "But you will grow taller as long as you


    do more stretching."


    "Generally speaking, it''s impossible. The epiphyseal line of adults is closed, so the bones cannot


    continue to grow. Unless you undergo bone surgery, you will not grow taller anymore. Those who say


    stretching can increase your height are trying to trick you into buying lessons!" Natalie suddenly said.


    Maggie was speechless, not wanting to talk to her anymore!


    Natalie looked at her watch after putting on the pants and asked, "Why hasn''t the takeaway been


    delivered yet? I promised to return home before eight. I don''t want to bete."


    Maggie asked with a frown, "Will Ken scold you?"


    Probably not.


    "I made a promise." Natalie said solemnly, "So, I must keep my word."


    Maggie bit her lower lip and said, "But women have the right to bete! What''s more, even if you''re


    <pte, Ken won''t me you!"

    Natalie nced at the time again and said, "Your brother hates people who don''t keep their promises. I


    won''t eat if it''s toote. Take me back!"


    "It''s here." Maggie said, "He put it in the lobby. I''ll go get it."


    Maggie ate very little.


    Natalie said, "Do all you celebrities eat so little?"


    Maggie squeezed her face and said, "I have gained weight recently, so I need to control it."


    Natalie said, "Oh, thank you."


    Maggie handed her the soup considerately and said, "Well, enjoy yourself."


    After dinner, Maggie drove Natalie back.


    When getting in the car, Natalie urged, "Hurry up. You should get home before 7:50."


    "I''ll do my best." Maggie pursed her lips, "Ken won''t be angry with you. Don''t worry!"


    "It''s not a question of him being angry or not."


    Natalie couldn''t exin it clearly.


    Maggie pondered for a while, and then realized, "You value him so much!"


    He was important to her, so she cared about the details.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course!"


    "Well," Maggie recalled what had happened that day with lingering fear in her heart, and her voice was


    small, "At the Ramsey family that day, Ken was scary. I thought he wouldn''t be angry because he had


    always been very gentle. But Nancy was going too far."


    When it was brought up again, Natalie felt like it had been a long time.


    Maggie thought of Nancy and then about herself after a while. Thinking of a possibility, she widened


    her eyes and asked, "Do you think Ken has known about what happened today?"


    Natalie shrugged and said, "It''s very likely!"


    Maggie fell silent. She had gotten Nat hurt.


    Natalie touched her chin as if thinking, and asked, "Based on what you know about him, what do you


    think he will do when he finds out?"


    Maggie said, "I... I don''t know him well."


    Natalie was surprised.


    The car drove to Wonder Vi.


    Maggie got out of the car, helped her out, and said, "I won''t go in. Let''s get in touch if anything


    happens!"


    Natalie watched the car turn quickly and slowly frowned.


    As soon as Natalie stepped into the vi, she met Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn said, "Mr. Ramsey is resting in his room. He said that if youe back, you can go directly to


    his room."


    Natalie was surprised, "Huh?"


    Was he going to settle a score with her?


    She took two steps forward and then three steps back and asked Ashlynn, "How is he feeling today?"


    Ashlynn was puzzled, "I can''t see it."


    --


    Kendrick was reading in bed. It was already seven fifty-eight. There suddenly came a knock on the


    door.


    Soon the door was opened, and a cute head popped out, "I''ming in!"


    Natalie pushed the door open after getting a reply.


    He was lying on the bed without looking up. She stood by the bed, feeling anxious.


    Natalie looked at him, wondering if she should do some push-ups to prove that she was okay.


    While she was thinking about it,


    Kendrick handed her the tablet in his hand, and said directly without beating around the bush, "I saw


    the video, and your response was very quick."


    Natalie smiled, "Yes!"


    Kendrick stared at her. Under his gaze, she slowly put away her smile!


    Kendrick put away the tablet and said, "Come here!"


    There was much room on the edge of the bed.


    Natalie hesitated, "I haven''t taken a shower."


    He loved to be clean.


    He didn''t say much. As soon as he stretched out his long arm, she sat down on the bed.


    He raised his eyebrows and signaled, "Where is the injury? Let me take a look!"


    Natalie lifted her trouser, revealing the professionally bandaged wound, and said, "It''s been taken care


    of."


    A gauze bandage was wrapped around her leg. He couldn''t see anything.


    Natalie looked at his downcast eyes. His nose was straight, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his


    face was cold


    She was afraid that he would be angry, so she hurriedly said, "Today it was an ident. I met Maggie


    and she was chased to the underground parking lot. I couldn''t ignore her. She is your sister. If she is in


    danger, I have to help her no matter what. I did not try to be brave."


    As she said this, her eyshes drooped. She looked quite aggrieved. He found it hard to get mad at


    her.


    Kendrick fell silent for a while. Then he took out a box of ointment from the side and handed it to her.


    Natalie looked at it and was stunned. This was a special ointment that stopped bleeding and restored


    wounds.


    ording to the timeline of the technology tree, it would be only avable two yearster.


    She asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?"


    "New medicine, not on the market yet." Kendrick naturally had his way.


    He was using a new medicine not yet on the market without approval, but he didn''t care about it that


    much anymore.


    "Apply it on when the dressing is changed, and the wound will heal quickly." Kendrick said, "Be careful.


    Do not get any water on your wound for a few days!"


    "Okay." Natalie nodded obediently. Since Kendrick already knew it, she didn''t intend to hide it anymore,


    "Oh, Maggie doesn''t want to call the police, and she doesn''t want her family to know either."


    Kendrick frowned, "I will talk to her about it!"


    He was going to have a good talk with her.


    Natalie looked at him suspiciously.


    Kendrick''s face didn''t change much. Natalie didn''t know what to say. She stood up, scratched her head,


    and said, "Well, I''m going to take a shower."


    But as soon as she got up, her wrist was grabbed.


    She couldn''t stand still. She sat back on the bed and leaned sideways in his arms.


    Kendrick looked at her deeply with dark eyes.


    Natalie thought he was going to settle a score with her.


    "Don''t get yourself hurt!" He suddenly approached her and said in a low voice.


    His low voice hit her heart at once, breaking away all her disguises.


    She had always been quite strong. This incident was provoked by herself, so Natalie didn''t dare to look


    wronged in front of Kendrick.


    But when she heard his words, her nose suddenly felt sore. It even got into her eyes.


    Kendrick could always easily mobilize her emotions, and his casual words could make her heart flutter.


    Someone cared about her.


    Natalie blinked hard, barely able to see the person in front of her.


    "OK!" She leaned on his chest and nodded. She softened her voice, "Actually, my wound hurts. But I


    was afraid you would get angry, so I pretended to be strong, and I didn''t even dare to speak."


    Was it his fault?


    "Does it hurt a lot?"


    Natalie nodded.


    "There are painkillers in the medicine cab. Ask Ashlynn to get some for you." Kendrick said softly.


    "I feel sick to my stomach today, and I can''t take painkillers." Natalie lied without changing her face.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    So?


    She raised her face and said, "Why not use a different method to relieve the pain!"


    Kendrick frowned.


    Natalie stared at him as if she wanted to see into his heart.


    There were too manyplicated emotions in her eyes. Of course, it included surging explicit or secret


    romantic feelings.


    She was looking forward to something.


    "What do you want?" Kendrick was helpless.


    Natalie approached him suddenly and said, "Kiss me and the pain will stop!"


    "Are you serious?"


    "Yes."


    His lips covered hers. All of her words were blocked in an instant.

 Chapter 67 Do it Again

    Chapter 67 Do it Again


    Chapter 67 Do it Again


    Natalie was stupefied with shock. Before she could react, his lips had already left hers. It onlysted a


    second or two, short and fast.


    She only felt the warmth and softness of his lips. That was it?


    Kendrick restrained all his emotions and the excitement in his ck eyes was quickly reced by


    calmness. He said restrainedly, "Go take a bath!"


    While he was calm and rational, Natalie''s eyes were blurred, and she instantly blushed.


    Her heart softened. She unconsciously bit her lips, and slowly raised her hand to caress her lips.


    She looked at him shyly and timidly. Kendrick''s mind went nk.


    "I didn''t feel it." Natalie said suddenly, "Do it again."


    Then Kendrick found his neck heavier when she put her arms around it and pressed her lips to his.


    How should she kiss? Natalie searched quickly in her brain. Sorry, no archives.


    She consciously bit his lower lip lightly. He clenched his fists instantly.


    Natalie held her breath for too long and she was quickly out of breath. His breathing was also quite


    heavy.


    She let go and took a deep breath to avoid suffocation. Then she gathered herself, lowered her eyes,


    and whispered, "It doesn''t hurt anymore!"


    Kendrick was surprised. He blushed again.


    Natalie''s mind was nk at the moment, and she didn''t know what to do next. She only knew that she


    was feeling so happy. She stood up dizzily and walked forward as if stepping on a ball of cotton.


    When she went out, she almost bumped her head, which made him frown.


    --


    Natalie sat on the bed after taking a shower and changed her dress.


    She cleaned the wound, opened the ointment Kendrick had given her, and dabbed some on her skin


    with a cotton swab.


    A cool feeling spread. The pain of the wound was relieved a lot.


    This medicine was not yet on the market, so one had to have a special channel to get it.


    Natalie suddenly remembered thest time he had asked her about cold medication. Her eyes


    narrowed.


    When Kendrick took out the medicine just now, shouldn''t a normal person ask what kind of medicine it


    was instead of wondering where he got it?


    Natalie gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.


    Kendrick was such a scheming mean, setting traps everywhere. Fortunately, he didn''t ask more


    questions for the time being.


    What if he asked someday? Then... just make him shut up!


    Natalie thought of his appearance just now. He seemed to be blushing a little, and he couldn''t breathe.


    It looked like he had never kissed.


    She was a lucky girl! She hummed happily.


    --


    Natalie had a good night''s sleep.


    When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. The wound on the leg didn''t hurt as much.


    When she went downstairs, Kendrick was having breakfast slowly in the dining room. Natalie saw that


    it was eight o''clock.


    Something was wrong! Wasn''t he supposed to be working in thepany at this time? He was a


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    workaholic.


    Natalie pulled the chair, smiled calmly, and greeted him, "Morning, honey. Aren''t you going to the


    Kendrick shook his head, "There is no important meeting today."


    She nced at him secretly and found that his face was a little strange. She was concerned, "Didn''t


    you sleep wellst night?"


    She wasn''t good at finding topics.


    Kendrick continued to deny it, "I read a book for a while."


    That was it!


    "Sometimes I also stay upte reading books. Knowledge always makes people lose track of time. But


    what books have you been reading recently? Can you rmend one to me?"


    Kendrick silently pushed the boiled eggs and pumpkin congee in front of her, "Have breakfast first!"


    Natalie frowned, "It''s so light."


    "Isn''t your stomach upset?" He suddenly raised his face and looked at her.


    Natalie fell silent.


    "I''ve told Ashlynn to eat lightly for a few days," Kendrick added.


    Natalie was very quiet chewing a boiled egg.


    Kendrick fixed his deep eyes on her face, watching her have breakfast quietly.


    After a while, he said, "All the new carsunched this year are here. You can choose one for your travel


    He was going to give a car to her? Natalie was taken aback. Was he testing her again?!


    "The subway and bus are very convenient, and I''m used to it." Natalie didn''t know what to say, and she


    said this after thinking for a long time.


    "Habits can be changed." Kendrick''s tone was t but strong, "I have no reason to let my wife squeeze


    around in the crowd."


    Then he smiled slightly, "Aren''t your driving skills pretty good?"


    Natalie thought, "I knew it!"


    "It''s okay. The most important thing is the ability to adapt." She responded vaguely.


    Kendrick just stared at her without saying a word.


    "Well... since you want to buy a car for me." She looked into his eyes and said, "Choose one for me. It''s


    difficult for me to choose. I''ll listen to you."


    Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly and finally nodded.


    "Don''t buy an expensive one. It''s enough if I can get around." Natalie added, "The price should be


    about a hundred thousand."


    She hoped he wouldn''t give her a million-dor car. She couldn''t afford it.


    Kendrick hadn''t expected her to ask so little. The car that the maids drove to buy groceries was about


    the same price.


    "You let me choose, so just listen to me."


    Natalie fell silent.


    --


    When Maggie was still hesitating about whether to tell her family about it, she received a call from


    Kendrick.


    He said gently, "Come to thepany in the afternoon. I want to talk to you."


    Maggie almost dropped her phone on the floor.


    She faltered, "Ken, I''m sorry. I have a gig this afternoon."


    "I checked your itinerary." Kendrick said bluntly, "You have been idle at home all month long."


    Maggie was speechless. Why was he so direct? It was so embarrassing!


    "I''ll wait for you until three o''clock." Kendrick issued an ultimatum, "After three o''clock, you will be very


    sorry."


    With that, he immediately hung up.


    Maggie was walking back and forth in the living room with her mobile phone in hand.


    From Ken''s tone, she guessed he didn''t seem very angry. He probably wouldn''t go hard on her!


    Then she would go to see him. It was no big deal.


    When she first worked in the entertainment circle, she had been bullied by a drunk director. Later, when


    Ken found out, the director just vanished, as if he disappeared in front of everyone all of a sudden.


    She had heard a lot about Kendrick Ramsey over the years. He was a ruthless man, not to be trifled


    with.


    Maggie sighed, got dressed, and drove to the Ramsey Group.


    As soon as she opened the office door, Ken threw a stack of documents on the desk and motioned her


    to read them.


    Maggie held her breath and picked up the documents with trembling hands.


    "I''ve taken care of the two men in the underground parking lot for you." Kendrick said, "As for Ste,


    take care of her yourself."

 Chapter 68 A Sharp Pain Came All Over Him

    Chapter 68A Sharp Pain Came All Over Him


    Chapter 68 A Sharp Pain Came All Over Him


    Ste? Maggie froze.


    What did this matter have to do with Ste?


    Seeing his sister''s stunned look, he somehow felt a little annoyed in his heart. He restrained himself


    and exined, "You robbed her of the role that originally belonged to her, and she took revenge."


    "Re...really?" Maggie still didn''t believe it.


    If she weren''t his sister, he wouldn''t have talked to her. He had zero tolerance for idiots.


    "I''ve given you all the evidence." Kendrick said in a cold voice, "Judge yourself."


    Maggie looked at the documents in her hands, which contained clear and detailed ount transaction


    records as well as screenshots of the video of Ste meeting the man who followed her, and every


    frame was very clear.


    Such hard evidence was right in front of her. Maggie had no choice but to believe it.


    She felt angry at being betrayed. She gritted her teeth and said, "I''ve treated her as a good friend. How


    dare she treat me like this?"


    Thinking of this, Maggie raised her head and asked, "Ken, how did you deal with those two?"


    She wanted to learn from it.


    He had just broken the right hand of the man holding a stick and the legs of the other man driving.


    Kendrick cleared his throat lightly, and said, "I filed awsuit against them."


    Maggie nodded, and then shook her head, "I don''t want to call the police."


    She said with a sad face, "If I call the police, our parents and Grandpa won''t let me continue to work in


    the entertainment industry."


    Kendrick nkly typed out a document and pushed it in front of her.


    It was a summary of the data of the film and television dramas she had acted in since entering the


    circle. It had been sorted out by Nigel using his professional expertise overnight.


    Maggie froze when she saw it. It was so detailed.


    "You have been in the industry for a year and a half. The investment in you is nearly 200 million, and


    the ie is less than 10 million." Kendrick stated the facts coldly, "Unless they want tounder


    money, no one will continue to invest in you. Besides, read online reviews about yourself. Any search


    terms rted to you are negative."


    It had even reached its peak recently.


    "The ratings of the new drama you just appeared in is 0.218, and it''s the overall data of the three TV


    tforms that aired the drama at the same time." Kendrick said word by word without showing his


    sister any mercy, "Whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, none of the dramas you


    participated in have seen a rating higher than 6."


    Hearing his words, Maggie blushed.


    He had never been so harsh on her. He had encouraged and helped her secretly at most times.


    This time, he was very angry.


    Maggie forced a smile, "But this time, everyone said that I have improved a lot, and many people


    praised my acting skills. Ken, my acting skills are okay."


    It was just that the script was so bad.


    Kendrick pursed his lips tightly, and his expression didn''t soften at all.


    "Whether your acting skills are good or not, there could be different opinions." Kendrick said coldly, "I''m


    just telling you the established data."


    "I will work harder." Maggie innocently assured, "Ken, believe me, and you have always supported me."


    Kendrick turned his face away and fell silent.


    After a while, he raised his face and said, "Ramsey Media is short of staff. Are you interested?"


    Maggie frozepletely. She finally understood what Ken meant. He wanted her to leave the


    entertainment circle.


    Kendrick was a person with strong willpower. Once he had an idea, he would see it through


    aggressively.


    Even if Maggie refused now, she would eventually be forced to withdraw from the circle due to various


    force majeure factors.


    She didn''t understand. Why did Ken, who had always supported her, suddenly change his mind?


    Ken had always been gentle with her.


    When she was a child and couldn''t do a math problem, Brett had said angrily, "Maggie, I''m going to


    wring your head off and put it in the washing machine to dry to see if there is something wrong with


    your head.


    "You''re not my sister. My sister can''t be so stupid.


    "You despise me for not being able to teach you. But why don''t you despise yourself for not being able


    to figure it out?"


    But Ken had always taught her patiently.


    Later, she came first in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Film and Television


    Academy.


    Even when her family objected, Ken said that they should let Maggie choose what she liked, ande


    back if she didn''t like it. The Ramsey family could afford a second chance.


    "I..." As soon as Maggie tried to say something, she met his cold eyes.


    She almost burst into tears.


    No one could change Kendrick''s decision. It would be no use begging him.


    "I will think about it." Maggie walked out of the office in a daze.


    She bit her lips and took out her phone, feeling a little dazed.


    Flipping through the address book on her phone with her fingers, she finally stopped when her eyes fell


    on Nat''s name.


    Without hesitation, Maggie called her.


    --


    Natalie just finished reading the financial newsletter. She sold her stocks in an orderly manner


    ording to the market trend and economic situation.


    She was getting ready to take a good look at the drama where Maggie was scolded miserably. She


    was nning to refute those haters.


    But Maggie called her. What? Did they have a mutual affinity?


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie answered the phone, "Cutie, what''s the matter?"


    Maggie was out of breath from crying, and it took her a full three minutes to exin the matter clearly.


    His brother wanted her to retire from the circle.


    Natalie froze. Retire? If Maggie retired from the circle, how would the original storyline continue?


    But this was not a question that should be considered because, with her arrival, the storyline had


    changed a lot.


    "I... I don''t know what to do, so I just... called you." Maggie was extremely sad, "No...no one can


    change Ken''s decision. Nat, can...can you help me?"


    Natalie pouted and frowned. She didn''t quite understand, "Why did your brother say that suddenly?"


    "I... I don''t know. He called me over today and said he had something to talk to me about. Then he


    showed me a lot of bad rating data. I think he meant that I should retire from the circle. I... I didn''t


    expect this to happen."


    "Oh, I see." Natalie sighed in her heart, and softlyforted, "Don''t cry. I will talk to your brother."


    "Well...thank you." Natalie hung up the phone.


    She looked serious.


    Where the hell was the plot going? How could Kendrick have the idea of letting his sister quit the


    circle? Hadn''t he always supported his sister?


    Natalie sighed again.


    She picked up her phone and nced at her husband''s itinerary. From 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., he would


    be conducting daily training in the rehabilitation hall.


    When Natalie arrived, the doctor just gave Kendrick an injection.


    It was a hormone that could promote muscle growth and reduce muscle loss.


    But at the same time, there would be a rejection reaction, and the body would produce severe pain


    from the nerves to the bones.


    Even anesthesia couldn''t relieve the pain.


    Moreover, Kendrick''s body was not as sensitive and flexible as ordinary people''s. Anesthetics could


    damage his nerve cells.


    So he had always refused anesthesia injections.


    Cold sweat dripped from his head, and sharp pain from his body came all over his limbs. He tightly


    grasped the cushion under his body and clenched his fists.


    He leaned there feebly.


    His handsome face was pale, and his bangs were soaked in sweat and fell on his forehead.


    His clothes were soaked in sweat too.

 Chapter 69 A Hug Might Help

    Chapter 69 A Hug Might Help


    Chapter 69 A Hug Might Help


    Natalie had seen death and suffering. She knew that all living beings were suffering. She was calmer


    and more rational than ordinary people.


    But when she saw Kendrick like this, her heart seemed to be pulled out of her chest by hand, bringing


    out a sense of suffocation. She was so shocked that she froze in ce. It took a long time before she


    came to her sense and walked towards him slowly.


    Kendrick was leaning there with his eyes half-closed and his eyshes drooping slightly.


    As the physiotherapist turned, he caught a glimpse of Natalie standing there out of the corner of his


    eye.


    His ck eyes opened immediately, and he turned around. His eyes fell on her face.


    Natalie didn''t do a good job of expression management.


    Her brows deeply frowned, and her eyes were not even in focus. The expression on her face was even


    moreplicated than words could describe.


    She was lively most of the time, and she rarely looked like this.


    Did he scare her? Kendrick wondered.


    He resisted the huge pain in his body, clenched his fingers tightly, put them on his lips, and cleared his


    throat lightly. His voice was hoarse and tired, "Sorry, I scared you."


    Natalie was heartbroken when she heard his words.


    "No..." She squatted down, lowered her eyes, and burst into tears when she spoke.


    She had always thought she had an iron will. Who could make Natalie cry? She would never cry for a


    man.


    But now, she felt so upset. She just felt sorry for him.


    "I''m here to see you." She kept her head down and sobbed. She couldn''t say anything more.


    Cold sweat kept falling from Kendrick''s face and dripped down on his corbone along his clear


    jawline. His face was pale as paper. His eyebrows were ck and his lips were pale, but the inside of


    his lips was stained with blood because of his gritted teeth.


    He was morbid and weak to the extreme, yet it gave birth to a strange beauty.


    He let out a long breath, panting, ready to reach out to take the towel handed over by the nurse.


    Natalie quickly took the towel and said, "I''ll do it!"


    She wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck. Hearing him panting heavily in pain, she said in a


    hoarse voice, "Does it hurt a lot?"


    How much did it hurt? It felt like thousands of steel needles piercing his bones. Countless nails were


    nailed into his bones one by one.


    Some people would cry loud during a massage. Such musculoskeletal pain was a hundred times


    stronger than that.


    Kendrick was thinking about how to reply. In a blink of an eye, he saw tears in her eyes condensing on


    her long eyshes.


    "It''s fine!"


    Men couldn''t cry out in pain.


    "It must hurt a lot. I know." Natalie mumbled.


    She knew that such pain could not be relieved. She couldn''t do anything.


    Natalie wiped off his sweat and reached out to hug him.


    She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, let his chin rest on her shoulder, and whispered in his ear,


    "A hug might help."


    This unexpected hug left Kendrick stunned for a few seconds and he didn''t know where to put his


    hands.


    Perhaps her words did have a soothing effect, and he felt that the pain in his body was lessening.


    Kendrick slowly reached out, patted her on the back, and said, "I''m sweating a lot."


    She hugged her even tighter. She just wanted to hug him!


    Kendrick sighed slightly.


    The doctors and nurses on the side all looked over. Everyone was smiling. What was going on?


    Kendrick let her hold him for a while, and then turned to whisper in her ear, "Let me change first, okay?"


    So many people were watching!


    He was sweating all over, and it was quite ufortable.


    She could feel his warm breath on her ear and the side of her face. She blushed instantly, let him go


    awkwardly, and nodded.


    Then she kept her head down and didn''t speak.


    After a while, Kendrick changed into clean clothes and was pushed out by the nurse.


    Natalie knelt and held his hand. She couldn''t help feeling sorry for him.


    After Kendrick took a shower, the simple and clean white T he was wearing made him not as cold and


    serious as him in his usual suit and tie, and the bangs hanging on his forehead made him gentle and


    homely.


    After the great pain, he looked tired and powerless all over


    His face was still pale, and his skin was clean and clear at a close distance. His face was slightly


    flushed after the shower.


    He was only twenty-six years old, the best years of one''s life.


    He was so gentle and fragile. Seeing him like this, Natalie wanted to hug and kiss him. She tried to


    restrain herself!


    While she was thinking wildly, he suddenly said, "I have daily trainingter. I have to stay until eight


    o''clock. Why don''t you go back first?"


    "I won''t go back. I''ll stay here with you." Natalie shook her head.


    Kendrick pursed his lips and said in a low but serious voice, "The dinner here is terrible."


    Natalie wondered if he was so thoughtful.


    She pouted, stretched out her hand, and lightly tapped his shoulder to express her dissatisfaction.


    Kendrick frowned slightly.


    Natalie hastily stretched out her hand to touch andfort him, "I''m sorry I hurt you."


    --


    Kendrick was right. The dinner here was really bad.


    To maximize the preservation of food nutrients, the nutritional meals in the rehabilitation center were


    boiled.


    There was very little oil and salt. They were high-protein, high-quality carbohydrate foods. All in all, they


    were unptable.


    Natalie was not a picky person. She gave Kendrick the boiled beef on her te and said, "You should


    eat more of this."


    They were sitting by the window in the dining room. The setting sun fell on the table, spilling a little


    golden light.


    For a long time, Kendrick had been alone. It was these doctors and nurses who dealt with him the


    most.


    This was his exclusive spot, and he had spent most of the day here almost every month, enduring the


    severe pain.


    But today was different. She was here.


    Natalie was there unpacking the nutrient solution in the bag. She couldn''t tear it open with her hands or


    her teeth. She was trying to fight with the packaging with a frown.


    Kendrick sighed and reached out his hand to signal.


    He took it, turned it upside down, and said, "The opening is here."


    "I know." Natalie began to quibble, "But I want to see if the other side can be torn open."


    Kendrick unpacked the nutrient solution package and handed it to her with a faint smile, "You''re so


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    silly."


    Natalie was dazzled by the way he smiled. She poured the nutrient solution directly into her mouth.


    Kendrick hurriedly said, "This is concentrated and you need to dilute it with water."


    He was shocked and amused.


    Natalie gasped. She didn''t know how to react.


    She simplyined, "Well, I didn''t know, and you didn''t tell me in advance."


    She even snorted.


    Kendrick refuted, "I reminded you."


    When he was preparing the nutrient solution just now, she had been staring at his hands. He had


    reminded her, and she nodded as if she was listening carefully.


    But she soon forgot it. It seemed she had a bad memory.


    Natalie was not ashamed at all. She rolled her eyes, pointed to his cup, and said, "I want to drink


    yours."

    Chapter 70 He Blushed so Easily


    Chapter 70 He Blushed so Easily


    Kendrick handed her his cup naturally as if he wouldn''t say no.


    She was so cute and bright. Who would have the heart to refuse her?


    Natalie took a sip and gave him a thumbs up, "Good. It''s delicious."


    It was just that the six major nutrients were concentrated in proportion. It didn''t have much taste.


    But seeing her look happy, he felt that the pain in his body had subsided a lot.


    --


    While Kendrick was working out in the training room, Natalie took the opportunity to find his physical


    therapist to ask for his physical evaluation report.


    She told him that she was Kendrick''s wife and wanted to know the situation.


    Dr. House in the data center didn''t know her, so he hesitated for a while.


    Natalie said, "Do I need to show you our marriage certificate?"


    Dr. House sighed, "That''s not what I mean. It''s just that Mr. Ramsey hasn''t let anyone apany him


    for many years, so I don''t know you."


    Natalie said politely, "I will apany him from now on."


    Dr. House called up the data and said, "Mr. Ramsey''s personal information is all here. If you don''t


    understand anything, you can ask me."


    Natalie said, "Thanks. Please go ahead and get back to work. I''ll take a look."


    Dr. House nodded, "Okay."


    Natalie quickly downloaded the data and saved it in her cloud disk.


    The data was densely packed. But there had been no fluctuations over the years, just maintaining the


    status quo.


    The date could be traced back to more than ten years ago. Kendrick had been trying to extend his life


    alone for so many years.


    His life had been saved by his parents. So he had to cherish it.


    No matter how much pain there was, he could only endure it. He could never have the idea of giving up


    his life.


    How could she not feel sorry for him when she saw him like this?


    When Dr. House came back, Natalie had copied all the data into the cloud disk.


    She adjusted her mood and thanked him again.


    Dr. House looked at her sad face andforted her, "Mr. Ramsey has surpassed many ordinary


    people in being able to maintain the status quo for so many years. He has extremely strong willpower,


    even if he can''t stand up..."


    "He can." Natalie smiled with teary eyes. She repeated firmly, "He can!"


    On their way back, Natalie said to Kendrick, "I will apany you every month in the future."


    He stared at her.


    "But..." Natalie frowned, "I want to bring my food."


    She said apologetically, "I''m sorry. I really can''t suffer with you on this matter."


    Kendrick fell silent. He smiled slightly.


    --


    It was past nine o''clock when Natalie got home and took a shower.


    When she came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, her phone suddenly rang.


    Natalie went to the bed, picked it up, and found that it was messages from Maggie. [Nat, have you


    talked to my brother? A brand called me today and said they are considering terminating our contract.]


    [Help me please!]


    Natalie suddenly realized that she had forgotten all about this. Seeing Kendrick in pain, she felt so


    sorry for him that she forgot all about it.


    She dried her hair and changed into her pajamas before she knocked on Kendrick''s door.


    Natalie sighed. Why do I always seem to have malicious intentions?


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie sighed. Why did she always seem to have malicious intentions?


    Kendrick said, "Come in."


    When she opened the door, she heard his angry voice, "Mny, I won''t allow anything to happen to


    you. Do you hear me?"


    Natalie froze. Mny? Wasn''t it the name of the heroine in the drama Maggie participated in?


    A picture of the heroine was disyed in the center of the poster with the slogan: a lifetime from a


    female ve to a queen!


    It was a heroine-centered big production.


    Was Kendrick still watching her sister''s show?


    Natalie ran over and said, "Are you watching Maggie''s new drama too?"


    Kendrick said lightly, "I''m just contributing to the yback volume."


    Natalie said, "Let''s watch together."


    He was stunned for a while and then silently supported his body and moved inside.


    Natalie took the opportunity to sit down and leaned over to give him some spoiler, "Here she didn''t die.


    The emperor said that if she died, he would chop off the heads of all the imperial doctors and bury all


    her pce maids. She struggled and survived. "


    Kendrick listened carefully to what was toe.


    He finally knew why the total rating of the three simulcasts of this drama was only 0.2.


    He put away the tablet and teased, "You asked me to watch it together, and then you spoiled it all to


    me?"


    Natalie looked up at him pitifully.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows, "What''s wrong?"


    "Maggie told me you weren''t very supportive of her..."


    "Yes, I asked her to quit the circle." Kendrick asked straightforwardly, "She asked you to talk to me?"


    "I think her acting skills are quite good and she has great potential. If she polishes them carefully..."


    Kendrick stared at her and smiled, "How much did you charge her?"


    "I sincerely think so." Natalie pleaded, "Let her try again. She likes acting."


    She asked in a super low voice, "You were very supportive of her. Why did you suddenly let her quit?"


    Kendrick thought about it calmly. He couldn''t give a definite answer. He was probably very mad at the


    time.


    Maggie had implicated Natalie and gotten Natalie hurt because of her mess.


    The knife sliced across Natalie''s leg. She had reacted quickly enough and wasn''t seriously injured.


    Natalie was lucky this time. But she couldn''t be so lucky every time.


    His anger wasn''t relieved after he dealt with those two people, so he vented his anger on Maggie.


    Kendrick said rationally, "Maggie is not suitable for the entertainment industry. I won''tment on her


    acting skills, but the data analysis shows that she is not popr in the market."


    Natalie sighed secretly. He had always been logical and orderly and he believed in data.


    She said no more.


    After being silent for a while, she suddenly said, "Well, let''s make a bet!"


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows.


    "If Maggie continues to work in the entertainment industry, can she turn things around within a year?"


    Natalie blinked, "I bet she can and you bet she can''t, right?"


    Was she trying to trick him?


    If he made the bet, wouldn''t he allow Maggie to continue in the entertainment industry?


    Kendrick looked away. He wasn''t falling for it.


    Natalie turned over, sat on the bed, pushed his arm, and said, "I have a hunch that Maggie can be very


    popr, and she can realize her dream of winning the Best Actress award."


    Seeing that he didn''t speak, she put her chin on his shoulder and persuaded softly, "I have a good eye.


    Trust me, okay?"


    "Are you ignoring me?" Natalie didn''t get any response from him and blew into his ear mischievously.


    Feeling her warm breath, he blushed instantly.


    Seeing her blushing, she was amazed and did it again.


    He was so sensitive. He blushed so easily.


    Natalie felt that she had discovered something big. When she wanted to do it again, her jaw was


    suddenly pinched by a hand.


    He turned his face and looked at her with dark eyes.


    "Stop it!" It sounded like a warning, but his voice was extremely hoarse and low.

 Chapter 71 Getting Spanked

    Chapter 71 Getting Spanked


    Chapter 71 Getting Spanked


    Kendrick cupped her chin in his hands.


    Natalie could break free easily because he wasn''t doing it very hard.


    She was so excited that she eximed while pointing at him, "Your ears are so sensitive! All I did was


    blow gently!"


    "Let me see your ears," Natalie said as she approached him.


    Kendrick became terrified and pushed her face away.


    "Does this woman even know how to keep her distance from people? Is she even aware of what she''s


    doing?" He thought to himself.


    He didn''t push her hard because he was afraid of hurting her. She stepped away from him and grabbed


    his hand.


    "Do you blush easily?" she asked, raising her face to his.


    Kendrick held back from the extreme, but she kept pushing the envelope as if she didn''t know how to


    behave in front of him.


    Natalie couldn''t help but smile at the sight of his handsome face.


    Kendrick had always been aloof and refused tomunicate with anyone.


    He was even more sensible and strong when making important decisions, which was why he


    impressed many people.


    His ears were red at the time, and he appeared embarrassed.


    He was looking away rather than at her.


    The stark contrast made him appear extremely sexy.


    Natalie was smug.


    "Are you ignoring me?" She smiled wryly and gently puffed at his cheek again, waiting for his face to


    flush.


    She sank back and fell forward,nding directly on his chest, just as she was about to observe him


    closely.


    Her waist was tightly wrapped in a pair of strong arms.


    With a snap sound, a pnded on her ass.


    He spanked her.


    Natalie felt as if a bomb had blown up in her head. An electric current of sensation quickly ran from her


    buttocks to her limbs.


    Her entire body tingled as if she had been electrified.


    She froze and didn''t regain consciousness for a long time.


    She was spanked because she didn''t listen to him.


    "Shall we continue?" Kendrick said through clenched teeth, holding her waist down.


    He then let her go. When Natalie looked up, her face was already flushed.


    She was at a loss for words.


    "He spanked me?" she kept repeating in her head.


    She stopped being smug and arrogant after freezing for a while. Her cheeks were as red as a ripened


    red tomato.


    She tried toe up with an idea quickly but came up empty.


    "What am I going to do?" she asked herself.


    Seeing her flush quickly, he began to tease her.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He asked himself, "Who blushes more easily, anyway?"


    When she finallyposed herself, she started to make excuses. "You just hit me! You''re too proud to


    ept defeat!"


    Just as she finished speaking, she realized he was about to put his arms around her again.


    After Natalie sat up in bed, she jumped out of bed and attempted to flee. She forgot that her wound still


    hurt.


    She trembled and then rolled off Kendrick''s bed.


    Kendrick was surprised by how silly she was.


    With a forward lean, he extended his hand to hold hers.


    Natalie reached for his hand and pushed herself up from the floor.


    The fall had caused her a lot of pain.


    She clenched her jaw and appeared distressed.


    Kendrick was experiencing simr feelings of pain. He wanted to lecture her when he picked her up,


    but he kept quiet.


    He took a deep breath and asked, "Where did you hurt?"


    She moaned to herself, "You hit me right in the butt, and now it hurts!"


    She wasn''t brave enough to tell him her butt hurt and have him rub it.


    "My wound."


    The scab that had formed over her wound was exposed when the bandage fell off. She had just


    bumped into the ground, so the wound was oozing blood.


    She shifted her position and attempted to bandage her wound.


    He mped his hand on her shoulder andmanded, "Stay still!"


    He was not only hitting her but also yelling at her.


    Natalie balled up a fist and gave him the cold shoulder. However, she was met with an even more


    menacing re from him than usual.


    Kendrick asked Ashlynn to bring him the kit and ointment.


    As he lifted the gauze off her wound, he frowned after looking closer at it.


    "Maggie must leave the show business, and whoever nned this can vanish from existence forever."


    he thought to himself.


    Kendrick was silent as he dabbed a cotton ball in iodine and cleaned her wound.


    He frowned, looking very annoyed.


    He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You met Maggie on the first floor, didn''t you? Why didn''t you


    go straight out with her instead of running towards the underground parking lot?"


    Natalie paused for a while to consider her response.


    She fabricated an exnation, saying she "didn''t know what to do at the time."


    "Was it because you didn''t know what to do, or because Maggie did not want to be spotted?" Kendrick


    asked. Once he realized she didn''t take it seriously, he became even more enraged.


    Natalie reasoned, and she knew he''d seen the full mall video. "She''s an actress. If she gets caught on


    camera, people will start another rumor about her."


    Natalie found this fact quite hard to take as well.


    Maggie was a bit too kind, but she was still a sweet girl.


    "Well, that''s one less thing she''ll have to worry about in the future."


    Natalie looked at him in dismay.


    He appeared to be dead set on Maggie''s acting career.


    "Why did you follow her stupid behavior?" He gave her an unexpected nce and then asked.


    Natalie refrained from making any kind of argumentative response. She nodded her head and said,


    "Well. I get it."


    Knowing she would soon forget about it, Kendrick was furious with her.


    He was annoyed that she identally hurt herself, but he knew he couldn''t treat her harshly.


    While dabbing the ointment on with a cotton swab, he whispered, "It will be fine in a few days. Please


    have some patience."


    Natalie gave a confident nod.


    She soon grabbed the corner of his shirt.


    Natalie looked up and asked, "Do you really want her to stop acting?"


    Kendrick frowned, showing no emotion at all.


    Devastated, Nataliemented, "We''ll lose a talented actress."


    "Her childhood dream was to be an actress. She began her acting career at age six and also


    maintained a strict academic schedule. You were so happy when she got into the film and television


    academy, weren''t you? You secretly rented out every theater in town for the premiere of her first film."


    Natalie said gently, "She doesn''t have any outstanding achievements right now. But, those setbacks


    and difficulties may help her mature quickly. I understand you are concerned that she will be treated


    unfairly in the entertainment industry, so you want her to return home and live a happy life. I''m d you


    can protect her, but people have to learn to grow up on their own after all."


    Kendrick looked at her with concern.


    Natalie sighed quietly to herself.


    As she watched the story unfold, she couldn''t help but wonder if her presence had altered its course.


    Maggie put in a lot of work to get into film school and be an actress. She was the kind of child


    who would go to acting sses even when she was sick with a high fever on a snowy day.


    Natalie thought every kid should be praised for their efforts if they were progressing toward their goals.


    Kendrick said firmly, "However, while your words may sway Grandpa, they won''t change my mind. It''s


    useless."


    He refused to be convinced by her.


    Natalie frowned and said, "But I''ve always suspected that I''m the reason she can''t be an actress. I''m


    not sure why I''m having these strange thoughts."

    Chapter 72 Touching Her Head


    Chapter 72 Touching Her Head


    "It has nothing to do with you, so don''t bother yourself any further than necessary," Kendrick said


    quickly.


    Natalie sighed once more. "Maggie gives a lot of herself to acting."


    "You asked me once what I wanted to do," she yanked at his shirt again.


    Kendrick waspletely fixated on her.


    "I can''t possibly list everything I''d like to do, but one of the things I long for was seeing Maggie win the


    award for best actress."


    "She''s quite eloquent." Kendrick mulled over the idea in his head. Her words triggered his thoughts.


    Natalie could asionally be unreliable with minor details, but she was always calm under pressure.


    She was respectful and kind, making it impossible for him to refuse.


    Her once again modified his rules and bottom line, but he was willing to ept them.


    He suspected that she would keep thinking about it if he didn''t say yes.


    Kendrick became less serious after that. "Well, about this..."


    Natalie smiled, "Let''s ce a wager on it. If I lose, I''ll make you a promise. But if you lose, you must


    promise me something."


    He immediately looked forward to the game like a child.


    "Are you sure you want to bet with me?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.


    "Let''s y it fair and square. How about we bet it for a year?" Natalie said.


    She extended her little finger toward him.


    Kendrick pressed his little finger against hers.


    Natalie couldn''t stopughing.


    Kendrick looked at her wound for a moment before asking, "Does it still hurt?"


    He tried his hardest not to hurt her, but he couldn''t control his strength.


    After all, he was a strong man.


    Her childlike behavior irritated him, as she forgot she should never provoke a man.


    Natalie said with a grin. "It doesn''t hurt now since you dressed my wound."


    Kendrick was at a loss for words.


    She was sitting face to face with him, and they were close enough that he could touch her head as


    soon as he reached out.


    He rubbed her hair and said, "You should probably go to bed."


    When he touched Natalie, the electricity surged back through her, starting at the crown of her head and


    moving throughout her entire body.


    She felt a warm, tingling sensation spread throughout her body.


    Twice that night, she had been "electrocuted."


    "He always seems to make up for his hurtful behavior by being nice to me afterward." she thought.


    Natalie blushed, still feeling like a whistle was blowing frantically inside her.


    She turned around but was surprised to find that she could only move her eyes. She nodded her head


    slowly to show that she wasposed.


    "Nighty-night!"


    --


    Maggie soon received a phone call from the brand with whom she coborated.


    They imed that they would not be terminating the agreement, and what happened before was that


    the contract manager had given them incorrect information by mistake. Their agreement would remain


    in effect.


    "That''s all right. I''m relieved that this misunderstanding has been cleared up."


    Maggie tried very hard to muster a cheerful expression.


    After some contemtion, she hung up the phone and began to jump up and down in joy.


    She realized her brother''s decision meant she could continue acting.


    "Well done, Natalie! I''m impressed by your ability to convince my brother! Since you can convince my


    stubborn brother, you officially be my hero! "Maggie thought to herself.


    Maggie''s excitement was too much to bear, so she immediately called Natalie to express her gratitude.


    Natalie softly said, "Your brother believes it is too dangerous for you to continue working in the


    entertainment industry after seeing you being treated unfairly and nearly being injured. He wants you to


    Maggiemented, "That''s not news to me. He has always been there for me and encouraged me. I


    appreciate it very much, Natalie. You are amazing!"


    "The entertainment industry is soplicated, so you must learn to protect yourself."


    "I will. You''re right, Natalie. Ste Oliver did do this. I''ve already reported it to the cops, and now I''m


    going to sue her."


    Natalie was a little taken aback.


    "Kendrick suggested I do that."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    When Maggie asked what he nned to do to deal with those two, Kendrick said he would sue them.


    She then took his word for it.


    Maggie said solemnly and firmly, "I figured it out. I cannot live the rest of my life hiding this secret."


    Natalie agreed, saying, "You did the right thing."


    Maggie asked, "Do I need to call Kendrick?"


    Natalie thought to herself, "Who do you think I am? Do you want me to take care of all of your


    choices?"


    "Yes, but not until sometime after 5 pm. He''s supposed to be in a meeting right now."


    After hanging up the phone, Natalie took a deep breath and folded her arms.


    She prayed silently, "Please, let everything be normal."


    Yesterday, afterpiling the data, Natalie emailed it to Owen.


    From their first encounter that day on, she was taken aback by Owen''s charm.


    Besides his intelligence, she admired that he was unassuming and reserved.


    That was a fantastic opportunity for Owen, while she had a knack for recognizing talent.


    Once they seeded, she would be a legend.


    Natalie immediately stopped herself from thinking about it.


    Owen emailed her a littleter.


    "Mr. Ramsey and I have an appointment this Friday at the rehab center. I''ve collected all of his


    credentials and stored them in a shared cloud along with my initial strategy. You can take a look at it


    anytime. I will talk further about it when I meet with Mr. Ramsey. I''d like to get his and his family''s


    approval before we take any further steps in this direction."


    Owen gave Natalie ess to the ount password.


    Natalie then immediately began reading the proposal.


    That n aligned with the broad outline she had provided before but with some significant detailed


    modifications.


    The state of medical science in this universe prevented her from implementing some of her ideas.


    Now that she had a sense of the big picture, Natalie thought things were looking up.


    She took a deep breath.


    "It will get better. Everything will get better." She thought to herself.


    --


    Maggie called Kendrick after checking the time.


    Kendrick''s icy demeanor had previously made her wary of approaching him.


    Maggie noticed that Kendrick had changed for the better since meeting Natalie, which made her willing


    to talk to him more.


    Maggie told Kendrick what Natalie had said to her.


    "Kendrick, I knew you''d always be there for me, and I knew you were worried I''d be treated unfairly.


    Don''t you worry about it. I''ll take care of myself and give my all at work. I promise I won''t let you down."


    A frown formed on Kendrick''s face.


    He hadn''t set any expectations for her, which meant he wouldn''t be disappointed.


    "I know," he cut her off before she could continue.


    Maggie added, "I''m going to sue Ste. Thank you for the advice."


    Kendrick was totally on board with her decision.


    In all seriousness, Kendrick asked, "You know you are responsible for Natalie''s injury, right? Did you


    apologize to her?"


    Maggie nodded quickly, then shook her head, "I didn''t seriously apologize to her."


    "I''m going to see her right away," Maggie said as soon as she heard the silence.


    "Bye. I''m leaving for a meeting."


    Maggie pondered what gift she should get Natalie after Kendrick hung up the phone. She considered it


    for a long time but still couldn''t think of anything.


    Besides, Maggie thought Natalie would prefer something other than what most girls loved.


    In her opinion, a handbag or lipstick would be too unimaginative of a present for Natalie.


    Sighing, she texted Kendrick, asking, "What kind of gift would Natalie like?"


    Kendrick didn''t reply immediately.


    It took him about a half-hour to respond, but he only replied one word: "Me."

 Chapter 73 The Way He Pampered Her

    Chapter 73 The Way He Pampered Her


    Chapter 73 The Way He Pampered Her


    Maggie stared at the message on her phone for a while to make sure he really relied "Me".


    She was at a loss for words.


    "I know you two love each other, but please don''t hurt me like this!" Maggie thought to herself.


    Maggie started typing, "Fine, you two lovebirds. But I can''t just stuff you in a box and give you to


    Natalie."


    She received two more texts before she could press the "send" button.


    "I''m in a meeting right now."


    "Just ask her yourself."


    Maggie finally grasped what Kendrick was saying. He was in the middle of a meeting and wanted her to


    ask the question herself.


    Maggie said, "Okay," in response.


    Inside therge conference room, the Director of Business was updating Kendrick on the status of the


    hotel acquisition. Kendrick raised his head briefly before returning his attention to his phone.


    "Ask for details," he messaged Maggie once more.


    When he asked Natalie what she liked, she replied, "I like you."


    Kendrick thought back on his conversation with Maggie.


    "If that''s the case, ''me'' as a response is perfectly eptable," he thought.


    He thought of Natalie''s words, "I like... You!"


    He couldn''t get her sultry tone and adorable face when saying that out of his mind.


    He remembered how she hadughed and how she had tears in her eyes.


    And the way her cheeks flushed yesterday.


    His memories shed before his eyes like a movie, ying out scene by scene.


    "This is the end of my report. Mr. Ramsey, did you have any feedback on my report?"


    After being politely interrupted by the Director of Operations, Kendrick stopped recalling.


    Kendrick raised his head and smiled.


    The business director was scared.


    He thought, "It took me three days and nights of meticulous work to get this ready. I even made sure


    there were no typos in the punctuation! He''s not going to criticize me, is he?"


    "That''s great." Kendrick encouraged, "Keep up the good work."


    His head dipped once more as he texted Maggie, "Did you get the answer?"


    He sounded like he was desperate to know the answer.


    Maggie replied, "I''m asking her. I''vee up with a great way. I will get her detailed answer without


    letting her know my real intention."


    --.


    Maggie soon sent Natalie a questionnaire about her personal preferences and interests.


    Maggie exined that she needed Natalie''s help with a social studies project and suggested that she


    Natalie replied, "That''s too long! I don''t feel like reading it."


    Maggie didn''t give up but sent Natalie some cute emojis and money.


    Maggie also noted that the questionnaire would partly determine her final exam score.


    Natalie immediately epted the money and now she had no choice but to fill in the questionnaire.


    Before filling it out, she asked, "Maggie, is this questionnaire anonymous?"


    "I guess so. I am the only one who can see your answers."


    Natalie began filling out the form.


    Most of the questions on the survey were multiple-choice, but there were also a few quiz questions at


    the end.


    "Name a wish you really hope toe true. (In recent days or in the near future)."


    Natalie answered, "My most recent wish is that Kendrick''s leg heals quickly and that he is no longer in


    pain. My wish for the future is to travel to the North Pole with him to watch the aurora borealis"


    "What would you want the most if someone offered you a gift right now? (Only the ones that would


    actually happen. You are free toplete more than one)."


    Natalie was lost deep in thought.


    She already had it all, and everything she owned was top-notch.


    She even had a husband when she arrived here.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    After considering it, she finally responded with "the book Neurology, Fayman edition."


    She couldn''t buy the book online, and the only ce with the book written in Fayman was the Faymany


    Library.


    She couldn''t fly all the way there just to read that book.


    "Ramon Hale''stest album."


    Ramon Hale was the most popr folk singer in the world. He released a new album recently and she


    really loved it.


    "Chestnut pie from Seven Luck."


    Natalie had a craving for warm chestnut pies every autumn. However, since Seven Luck was such a


    popr bakery, there were always a lot of people lining up in front of it. She wanted to eat chestnut


    pies but didn''t want to waste her time waiting in line.


    She sent the questionnaire to Maggie afterpleting it and said she could ask her to fill out any


    questionnaires as long as she paid her.


    Maggie was speechless.


    Maggie sent the questionnaire to Kendrick after reading it.


    Getting Ramon Hale''s record and Seven Luck''s chestnut pie was easy for them. Maggie could buy the


    record from her friends, and Kendrick could buy the entire Seven Luck.


    Maggie found this first wish difficult to achieve.


    She deliberately circled it to show Kendrick that it was challenging toe true.


    Readers were never permitted to borrow books from the Faymany Library.


    Kendrick pressed his lips together.


    Natalie enjoyed reading medical books recently.


    ording to Ashlynn, Natalie had purchased many of those books and was intelligent enough to read


    them.


    Kendrick replied, "I''ll take care of it."


    He carefully began with the first multiple-choice question. Then, he discovered that Natalie enjoyed


    reading and swimming, that her favorite color was blue, and that her favorite flower was the lily of the


    valley. She had many favorite foods, buttro was her least favorite.


    When he was about to finish reading the questionnaire, he noticed Natalie''s wishes.


    His eyes widened, and he then slowly showed a smile.


    "Well, Maggie had done quite a good job." Kendrick thought.


    This was the first time he hadplimented Maggie.


    --


    Alisson Olsen worked as the interior disy designer at Wonder Vi.


    She managed the decor of the homes of famous and powerful people because she had studied interior


    design and had a good eye for art.


    She visited Wonder Vi weekly to look after the flower arrangements.


    When she arrived today, someone told her that Kendrick would rece all the flowers in the house.


    The florist had already matched the flowers, which mainly were priceless lilies of the valley.


    There were even blue lilies of the valley, a rare species that most people wouldn''t have the chance to


    see.


    All these flowers were shipped by air from Audale.


    Kendrick had no particr taste in flowers. As a result, the florist would match the flowers in the house


    and obtain his approval before cing them.


    No one could exin why Kendrick requested new flowers out of the blue.


    As someone with strong professional ethics, Alisson did not ask about anything she should not have.


    After rearranging the bouquets, Alisson sighed over the lilies of the valley in the living room''s


    centerpiece.


    "Their costs from cultivation to shipping equate to more than six months ofbined sry of you and


    I," she said to Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn said, "Wow! I need to be extra careful when I clean the house! I can''t afford this no matter how


    long I save. Will these flowers wither?"


    "The flowers have been preserved in a special way that allows them to stay in the nutrient solution for


    up to two weeks. But, they are so fragile that they will be reced after half a month."


    "Why did Mr. Ramsey suddenly want to rece all the flowers?"


    "I have no idea! I''m confused about that too. We need to stop wondering why and start doing what they


    say."


    The two continued to whisper.


    "What are you two muttering about?" Natalie asked as she entered the house.


    She inhaled deeply, bringing with her the sweet aroma of the lily of the valley.


    "What''s up with all the lily of the valley?" Surprised, Natalie asked.


    "Yes, these flowers were reced just today. Mr. Ramsey told them to do so." Alisson replied.


    "Kendrick changed out all of the flowers in the house for lily of the valley? And there are some blue


    ones here that I''ve never seen before. Could he have changed them because he knows I like them?"


    Natalie reflected herself.


    She then thought she might have been overconfident.

    At night...


    Natalie ventured, "Did you rece all the flowers in our house with lilies of the valley?"


    Kendrick raised his eyes and looked at Natalie.


    Kendrick thought, "Isn''t it obvious? Will a duck swim?"


    There were lilies of the valley in the dining room, in the living room, in the study, and even in Natalie''s


    bedroom.


    Kendrick pushed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and nodded proudly.


    Then Kendrick looked at Natalie and asked, "Do you like it?"


    "Yes, of course, I like it. My favorite flower is the lily of the valley." Natalie asked in confusion, "But how


    do you know that I like it?"


    "Today, the withered flowers needed to be reced by fresh flowers, and there were lilies of the valley


    airlifted from Audale."


    Natalie thought, "Was it just a coincidence?"


    Natalie''s feelings in her eyes changed slightly.


    Kendrick found it in time.


    The next second, Kendrick said, "Maggie told me that you like the lily of the valley, and I just reced


    all the flowers with it."


    Natalie thought, "I knew it!"


    "He never tells the truth."


    Natalie pressed her lips together and asked with a smile, "Do you know what the flowernguage of the


    lily of the valley is?"


    "Be happy forever," Kendrick replied.


    "I can''t believe you know it!" Natalie was surprised and asked again, "It''s a good implied meaning,


    right?"


    After knowing that Natalie liked the lily of the valley, Kendrick immediately studied it. Now he not only


    knew its flowernguage but also its habits and characteristics. If Natalie discussed with Kendrick how


    to cultivate the lily of the valley, he could even say it clearly and logically.


    Kendrick nodded and suddenly said, "These words are for you."


    Kendrick thought, "I will do my best."


    "To make you happy forever."


    ...


    On Friday, Kendrick officially set aside a day for meeting Owen.


    This appointment was strictly confidential.


    No one knew it except for Natalie.


    If the treatment n was redrawn in the future, it would also be confidential.


    Kendrick didn''t even n to tell his grandfather.


    Kendrick was very cautious.


    His trust in people was extremely low.


    Only Natalie could make Kendrick feel at ease.


    Before leaving, Kendrick said suddenly, "Dr. Gentry graduated with a Ph.D. at the age of 22. He''s


    young and promising."


    Natalie thought, "Can he be better than me?"


    "I also graduated with a Ph.D. at the age of 22."


    "I was involved when my teacher healed the president''s leg."


    "It''s just that I was inexperienced at that time, and I didn''t participate in the whole process and I wasn''t


    the chief surgeon."


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "However, I knew the basic diagnosis and treatment n."


    Natalie originally wanted to say it was not bad but thought that it would affect Kendrick''s confidence.


    Natalie said, "At present, he is the top expert in this field. We should believe in him and also believe in


    ourselves."


    Natalie held Kendrick''s hand and said, "I believe everything will get better. I have confidence, and so


    should you!"


    Kendrick didn''t speak.


    Kendrick thought that the doctor was not even as confident as Natalie was!


    But Kendrick saw Natalie like this.


    Kendrick also seemed to have a different courage from usual.


    Then Kendrick held Natalie''s hands.


    Natalie''s hands were soft, warm, and small in Kendrick''s palm.


    The car moved forward smoothly.


    The sunshine in September shone into the car, and the space in the car was bright and roomy. The


    trees along the roadside were lush and exuberant.


    Kendrick thought, "If possible, I hope there is no end to this road."


    Kendrick just held Natalie''s hand like this.


    ...


    Owen specially came to the central gate ten minutes in advance to greet Kendrick.


    To be honest, Owen was quite nervous.


    After all, he had only seen Kendrick from his teacher''s file before.


    Owen hadn''t seen the real person yet.


    He devoted himself to scientific research in the medical field, and he didn''t know enough about


    business leaders.


    However, Owen was fully prepared.


    Owen had even written the treatment n and was ready to show it to Kendrick.


    If Kendrick and his family could agree, Owen would devote all his remaining time to the n.


    At nine fifty-five.


    Owen looked up after looking at his watch. Then he saw the wheelchair moving slowly in front of him.


    The tall man who looked like a bodyguard was holding an umbre.


    It was a beautiful girl pushing the wheelchair forward.


    Owen hurriedly walked over and said, "Mr. Ramsey, this way please."


    Owen led Kendrick into the consulting room.


    Natalie also wanted to stay.


    Owen asked, "Who is this?"


    "My wife," Kendrick exined.


    Natalie happened to look up and met Owen''s gaze.


    Owen froze.


    It seemed that Owen saw something incredible.


    Owen thought, "Mrs. Ramsey! She''s actually Mrs. Ramsey!"


    Natalie smiled and said, "Dr. Gentry doesn''t seem to know that Mr. Ramsey is secretly married."


    Owen''s mind went nk because of the fact.


    Owen suddenly knew why Natalie had refused him that day.


    Owen thought, "Sure enough, it was my wishful thinking."


    "Fortunately, nothing too embarrassing happened."


    "Otherwise, I''ll feel humiliated."


    Owen quickly got back hisposure and became serious and rigorous again. He said, "Please wait


    here, Mrs. Ramsey. I need to take Mr. Ramsey for a physical examination, and I''ll give the resultster."


    Natalie nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much."


    Then Natalie squatted down and held Kendrick''s hand. She said, "Don''t worry. It''s just a routine


    checkup. I''m waiting for you here. Let me know if you need anything!"


    Natalie was very spoiled and gentle to Kendrick.


    Everyone must envy Kendrick.


    ...


    The checkup started at ten o''clock in the morning and ended at three o''clock in the afternoon.


    Natalie was busy running around to get various test sheets.


    She didn''t even take a sip of water.


    As she ran back and forth between the two buildings of the medical center, she felt like she went back


    to a long time ago.


    Natalie thought, "Sure enough, I still can''t escape my destiny as a medical student and a doctor."


    The test results showed that Kendrick''s physical indicators were normal.


    It was due to Kendrick''s self-discipline and persistence over the years.


    "Can I insist on not eating sugar, oil, salt, and high carbohydrate food for many years? Can I rely on


    protein and various amino acid injections to keep my body growing?"


    Natalie asked herself in her heart and knew she couldn''t.


    But Kendrick could.


    Kendrick exemplified asceticism.


    At five o''clock in the afternoon, when Natalie returned to the consulting room from another building, she


    saw that Owen was discussing the treatment n with Kendrick.


    After handing the test sheets to Owen, Natalie panted and said, "Have you finished the checkup?"


    "Yes."


    Natalie thought, "Oh!"


    "I can finally have a break."


    Natalie exhaled deeply and slouched in the seat immediately, fanning herself with her hands hard!


    Seeing Natalie out of breath and her flushed face, Kendrick pulled a tissue out to wipe her sweat.


    Natalie sighed, "It was almost fucking... It almost heated me to death."


    Natalie thought, "Beautiful women can''t swear."


    "I should keep that in mind"


    "Have a rest and drink some water," Kendrick said softly. Then he took the ice water prepared on the


    table, twisted off the cap, and held it to Natalie''s mouth.


    Natalie drank water rudely.


    As a result, Natalie identally choked.


    Natalie coughed badly.


    Kendrick was speechless.


    Kendrick didn''t expect Natalie to choke on a bottle of water.


    He thought, "Well, she''s a bit stupid."


    Kendrick patted Natalie on the back and asked in a soft voice, "Feel better?"


    Natalie blushed while coughing in Kendrick''s arms. After a while, Natalie raised her head and asked,


    "How far along have you gotten? Show me the n."


    Owen was speechless.


    Although Natalie put it bluntly, Owen still handed her the n.


    At first nce, Natalie frowned.

 Chapter 75 Kendrick Writes Her Name Carefully

    Chapter 75 Kendrick Writes Her Name Carefully


    Chapter 75 Kendrick Writes Her Name Carefully


    As soon as Natalie frowned, the gaze of the two men settled on her face.


    "Do you have any questions about the n?"


    Owen was the first to ask.


    Natalie thought, "Yes, of course!"


    "Why is the dosage inconsistent with what was agreed before?"


    "Why not use flow cytometry to detect the phenotype of bone marrow nerve cells?"


    "Why..."


    However, when Natalie noticed Kendrick''s frowned brows, she pressed her lips together and bit back


    the words that she was going to say.


    Natalie told herself frantically in her heart.


    "I''m now a girl who dropped out of school as a sophomore and majored in literature and art


    appreciation."


    "I don''t know anything about medicine, and I don''t know how to use a scalpel."


    "I don''t even know what MDS gic testing and antibody testing are!"


    Natalie forced a smile and said, "I... I''ll take a look at it again!"


    Owen said, "Mrs. Ramsey is the student of Goldburg..."


    "That''s right!" Natalie immediately raised her head and said, "I''m very surprised. Dr. Gentry, you''re


    extremely professional and you''re a top expert in the field of neuroscience. You have rich and


    advanced medical experience. We have great confidence in you. I believe you can help my husband


    stand."


    Owen was a little shy because of Natalie''s words.


    Owen was about to speak.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    But Natalie interrupted Owen again, "You must also be very confident, right?"


    Natalie thought, "Do you dare to say no?"


    Owen pressed his lips together, looking serious. He straightened himself up and replied, "I will do my


    best to help Mr. Ramsey."


    Then Owen sincerely admired, "With Mr. Ramsey''s self-discipline and persistence, I believe there will


    be good results."


    Owen had seen many people who were disabled and incapacitated.


    Many of them were either violent and stubborn, or felt sorry for themselves and were lifeless.


    But Kendrick was different.


    Kendrick still maintained his love for life.


    Besides, his pain tolerance was different from ordinary people.


    When Owen gave Kendrick a bone marrow puncture just now, Owen found that Kendrick had such


    strong endurance that Kendrick didn''t say a word even though it was so painful.


    Most people subconsciously burst into tears under this degree of pain.


    But Kendrick''s eyes were only slightly red.


    Kendrick looked gentle but was extremely tough.


    Natalie kept nodding and couldn''t help praising, "He insists on exercising from six o''clock in the


    morning to do rehabilitation training and falls asleep on time at twelve o''clock every day. He never eats


    foods high in sugar, oil, and salt. He''s very self-disciplined. He''s awesome, isn''t he?"


    Natalie thought, "You must admire him!"


    Kendrick nced at Natalie with aplicated expression.


    Kendrick thought, "Does she extremely enjoy saying nice things about people?"


    Owen said, "Mr. Ramsey is indeed admirable."


    Natalie said with a smile, "I''ll leave him to you, Dr. Gentry!"


    Owen hadplicated feelings.


    Today was the day with many emotions in Owen''s heart, which made Owen in a muddle. However,


    because of his professionalism, Owen still solemnly nodded and said, "Please rest assured."


    ...


    It was almost seven o''clock in the evening when Kendrick finished the checkup and dealt with the


    follow-up matters.


    Owen invited them to dinner.


    Kendrick politely declined.


    Kendrick said, "Next time, I will invite you alone."


    Owen showed understanding. Owen thought, "There may be different etiquette in Hamgrad. Maybe


    there is no rule for doctors to invite patients to dinner."


    Owen showed the two people out of the consulting room.


    Kendrick said, "Dr. Gentry, don''t bother to see us out. Thanks for your time!"


    Natalie looked at Kendrick and felt that his attitude was a bit strange. Natalie thought Kendrick might be


    too tired today because of so many physical examinations.


    Natalie turned to Owen and said with a smile politely, "Goodbye. Call us if you need anything."


    Owen waved goodbye.


    As Natalie passed the front desk, she asked for a piece of pink card.


    Kendrick turned sideways and asked, "What''s this?"


    "A card to record your mood during your diagnosis and treatment." Natalie continued, "Every time we


    always have good luck."


    Seeing Kendrick''s expression, Natalie immediately said, "Don''t doubt it. It really helps."


    In Natalie''s former world, patients would be guided to write optimistic words. Having a good mood was


    also an important help for their own recovery.


    Natalie wrote down the time and date and handed Kendrick the pen and paper. Then she said, "Come


    on."


    Seeing that Kendrick was a little stunned, Natalie continued, "It''s just writing your mood today. Be


    optimistic. You can write that you''re in a good mood today and believe you can make it."


    Kendrick said nothing.


    Kendrick was very obedient to Natalie.


    So Kendrick wrote it down obediently.


    Kendrick''s handwriting was very beautiful, neat, and elegant, just like himself.


    Kendrick just sat in the wheelchair and wrote seriously with his head down.


    Many women passing by all looked at Kendrick''s face.


    They hadplicated feelings in their eyes.


    But there was definitely a touch of surprise in it.


    Natalie gently leaned her face on Kendrick''s arm without any change of expression.


    Natalie thought, "He''s mine. He''s mine."


    "You''re not allowed to look at him."


    After writing, Kendrick was ready to put the cap on.


    Natalie hurriedly said, "Your name. Don''t forget to sign."


    Kendrick solemnly wrote his name at the bottom!


    Kendrick thought for a while and then began to write on the paper carefully again.


    Natalie got close to taking a look and found that Kendrick was writing her name.


    Kendrick wrote very seriously.


    He was more serious than when he signed a project worth hundreds of billions of dors.


    When their names were juxtaposed, it showed a strange sense of harmony.


    Natalie tried her best to control her expression and said reservedly, "Make it a paper crane."


    Kendrick paused for a moment.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "Don''t you know how to do it? I''ll teach you, okay?"


    Kendrick gave a short positive answer.


    Natalie began to patiently teach Kendrick to fold the paper crane. After Kendrick finished folding,


    Natalie praised, "Well done! You don''t look like a beginner!"


    Kendrick thought, "Idiot. Everyone knows how to fold a paper crane."


    Kendrick said modestly, "You taught me well."


    Natalie thought, "Wow!"


    "He got me."


    If Natalie hadn''t been in public now and needed to be reserved, she would have kissed Kendrick again.


    Natalie threw the paper crane into the ss jar and put it back at the front desk for them to keep.


    Natalie believed in science.


    But she also believed that paper cranes could bring good luck to people.


    ...


    Owen returned to his consulting room to continue working.


    Owen''sputer was now filled with all kinds of information about Kendrick.


    In theing days, Owen would focus all his attention on Kendrick.


    Owen opened hisputer and rewrote the treatment n.


    He wrote for a while and then stopped.


    He thought of what happened today and shook his head.


    Owen thought, "Is Kendrick''s wife a student of Goldburg Medical University?"


    "She also specially went to attend the neuroscience exchange meeting."


    "But she seemed unwilling to admit it."


    Owen was smart. After knowing Natalie''s thoughts, he didn''t mention it again.


    Owen took out his mobile phone to see the ounts he followed and found that the ount of QTM


    had been canceled because of breaking the online rules.


    Now the homepage of the ount was nk.


    Owen wondered what this person did.


    Then he saw a post from another ount named "Natalie has something to say".


    "I just sent an anatomical picture of the human abdominal cavity to your female fan, and then I was


    reported. She said I piggybacked on you, and she made personal remarks for 500 words on me. I


    reported her unsessfully. I''m really pissed off!"


    Owen couldn''t figure it out.


    Owen''s phone vibrated at that moment, and it was a call from Brynn.


    Owen answered the phone and called Brynn mom.

 Chapter 76 I Feel So Happy to Be Cared About

    Chapter 76 I Feel So Happy to Be Cared About


    Chapter 76 I Feel So Happy to Be Cared About


    Brynn was Owen''s mother. To be precise, Brynn was his adoptive mother.


    A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Owen, how''s it going? Are you getting


    together with your beloved girl?"


    Owen sighed, "Well..." He said with a bit of embarrassment, "She is married!"


    "What?" Brynn was shocked and said, "That''s a pity. It''s okay. There are many good girls. Shall I


    introduce you to a girl? It''s said that she is a mixed-race princess. What do you think? Is she your


    type?"


    Owen replied, "Forget it, mom. I just want to engage in scientific research."


    "Well, scientific research is important, and your partner is also very important." Brynn continued, "All


    right, if you don''t like her, I won''t force you. Are you used to living in Hamgrad?"


    "Yes, I''m quite used to it. Are you going toe back?"


    Brynn was silent.


    After a while, Brynn smiled slightly and said, "I''m not."


    Brynn was Hamgradish, a professor of gic engineering, currently teaching at a private university in


    Cruxham.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Because of the need to keep patients'' privacy secrets, Owen couldn''t disclose the relevant information


    about Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment to anyone. Therefore, Owen only told Brynn that he was still


    developing in his professional field.


    Brynn joked with a smile, "My talented boy, don''t just focus on academic research. Justmunicate


    more with girls."


    Owen thought, "I really tried my best."


    "But it''s really hard."


    "Reading literature is more interesting."


    ...


    Maggie waited at Wonder Vi for more than two hours.


    After Maggie ate a whole piece of cake prepared by Ashlynn, Kendrick and Natalie came back.


    If Kendrick and Natalie didn''te back, Maggie would have to eat another piece of cake, which was


    not good for Maggie.


    "Where have you been?" Seeing Kendrick and Natalieing back together, Maggie got up and


    asked.


    "We were out," Natalie replied.


    Maggie was speechless.


    She thought, "Natalie is really good at meaningless words."


    Seeing Maggie''s unhappy expression, Natalie said, "Well, I went out for a stroll with Kendrick. The


    weather is pretty good. Maggie, why are you here?"


    "Ie to apologize to you!" Maggie said solemnly.


    Then Maggie looked at Kendrick and saw Kendrick''s warning and cold gaze. She pressed her lips


    together and whispered with her head down, "I''m really sorry for thest time I hurt you. I bought you a


    gift, Nat."


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and was a little surprised.


    "This is Ramon''s record. Maggie took out the record from the gift bag and handed it to Natalie. Maggie


    said, "The signed version is for you."


    Natalie was surprised.


    Natalie hurriedly walked over and took it. She asked, "Did you buy it?" Natalie had tried to pre-order


    online but got nothing.


    "I got it from a friend."


    At this moment, Natalie finally felt that Maggie had a character shield.


    Natalie said happily, "Thank you! I like it so much. Can you help me get an autographed photo of the


    NTN team? They''ve been quite popr recently."


    Maggie nced at Kendrick.


    Maggie thought, "Natalie, are you sure you want an autographed photo of young handsome boys?


    Natalieughed and said, "Well, I''m kidding."


    Maggie took out another paper bag. There were limited and popr desserts of Seven Luck in it,


    including chestnut pie, red bean toast, and cranberry pretzel.


    Natalie was shocked again and said, "It''s hard to line up to buy it."


    Maggie didn''t im credit for herself. She said, "So I asked the driver to line up early in the morning.


    Nat, if you want to eat it in the future, just call the shop, and they will deliver it."


    Natalie thought, "Is this the Ramsey family described in the original book as wealthy and powerful?"


    "I really love it."


    Natalie opened the package of a chestnut pie and put it into her mouth.


    Natalie thought, "It''s so delicious."


    "I''m so cheerful!"


    Kendrick couldn''t help smiling and looked at Natalie. Kendrick said, "Be careful. Don''t choke."


    Finally, Maggie took out the set of Neuroscience in Fayman that was as heavy as a brick from her bag!


    Maggie thought that the books almost dislocated her hand.


    But Maggie could only bear it for Natalie. Certainly, Maggie was not a fool. Maggie immediately


    stretched out her hand in front of Natalie and said, "Nat, see. To help you take the books, my hands are


    red, and now it hurts so much that I don''t have any strength at all."


    As soon as Maggie finished speaking, Kendrick looked at Maggie immediately.


    After eating the chestnut pie, Natalie was shocked.


    Natalie didn''t expect Maggie to actually get the set of books for her.


    Natalie opened her eyes wide and couldn''t help sighing in her heart again.


    "Is this the princess of the Ramsey family?"


    "I''ll find you a massage oil. You''ll be better soon after smearing it." Natalie picked up Maggie''s hand


    and blew it a few times. Natalie said, "All right, it doesn''t hurt anymore."


    Maggie was speechless but a bit happy.


    Natalie put the books in her arms with a smile and said, "Maggie, you are so awesome. You can get me


    this set of books. I really love it."


    Maggie said modestly, "It''s nothing. Actually, Kendrick helped me."


    Maggie thought, "How did Kendrick do it? He made the printing factory start work overnight, and such a


    new set of books was printed and airlifted back to Hamgrad overnight."


    "Sure enough, Kendrick can do anything sessfully."


    Natalie nced at Maggie with a smile and then at Kendrick, who was gentle and quiet.


    Natalie felt as if she had fallen into the soft clouds.


    She had an unrealistic feeling that she couldn''t touch the ground.


    Natalie thought, "I really feel so happy to be cared about."


    "Except for my teacher and his wife and my senior female fellow, there are more people who treat me


    well now."


    "It makes me feel that I''m not lonely in this world."


    Natalie walked over and squatted down. She raised her head and looked at Kendrick tenderly. Then


    she said, "Thank you."


    Maggie interrupted their eye contact and asked, "But, Nat, do you read these books? It looks very


    esoteric, and I can''t understand it."


    Natalie replied, "Well, I''ve been studying recently. I''m studious."


    Maggie thought, "I''ll give you the benefit of the doubt."


    Natalie also brought Lunstead''s honeydew melon. She asked Ashlynn to cut it and bring it to have a


    taste.


    After taking a bite of the melon, Natalie thought it was so sweet and felt very happy.


    Natalie wasn''t idle. She fed Kendrick a piece of melon.


    Natalie felt so happy that her heart seemed to bubble.


    Maggie was rxed after giving the gifts. She said, "I''ve prepared the rtive information and


    evidence. I''ll sue Ste this week, and I must ruin her reputation to let her know that I''m not easily


    bullied."


    Kendrick nodded and said, "I''ll find you awyer."


    Natalie agreed, "Matthew is verypetent, and you can consider it. He has rich experience in civil


    and criminal cases."


    Natalie thought, "Matthew also sessfully helped me get money from Nora."


    Certainly, Natalie didn''t forget to tter Kendrick, "In fact, Kendrick is awesome, and his people are all


    excellent."


    Kendrick smiled lightly and said to Maggie, "Ask your team to suspend public rtions activities this


    time, and I''ll find someone from Ogilvy PR to help you."


    Ogilvy PR didn''t take cases casually.


    Once Ogilvy PR took a case, it would definitely win thewsuit.


    Maggie nodded immediately and said, "Thank you, Ken!"


    Seeing the sweet newlywed couple, Maggie was embarrassed to continue disturbing them. She said,


    "Then I''ll go back first." Maggie took several steps and suddenly remembered something. She returned


    and asked, "Nat, are your knees better? Does it still hurt after acupuncturest time?"

 Chapter 77 Then Take It Off

    Chapter 77 Then Take It Off


    Chapter 77 Then Take It Off


    Natalie originally forked a piece of melon into her mouth with a smile.


    Hearing Maggie''s words, Natalie stopped eating and jumped up from the sofa. Natalie hooked around


    Maggie''s neck and held Maggie''s arm with the other hand to push her out.


    "Are you going back? I''ll show you out." Natalie smiled softly and turned Maggie''s face back. Natalie


    said, "Let''s go!"


    Natalie thought, "If you dare to speak one more word, you''ll never be allowed toe back."


    Maggie was pushed out of the Wonder Vi by Natalie.


    Natalie returned to the living room. She originally wanted to bypass Kendrick and run upstairs directly,


    but her books were still there. Therefore, Natalie ran over with small steps and wanted to take the


    books, and Kendrick directly blocked her way.


    "What happened to your knees?"


    Kendrick raised his eyes and asked.


    Natalie replied perfunctorily, "Nothing. They''re pretty good."


    Then Natalie jumped a few times to show that she was okay.


    Kendrick wasn''t swayed by it. He just raised his head slightly and stared at Natalie.


    "I''m going upstairs first."


    Natalie''s arm was grabbed before Natalie took a step.


    "Let me have a look," Kendrick said.


    Natalie quickly considered the solutions.


    "How did I deal with itst time?"


    "Got it!"


    "Take off my pants."


    Thinking of this, Natalie immediately put a hand on the waist of her pants.


    "Do you want to have a look?"


    Kendrick did not change his expression.


    "Then I''ll take it off."


    Kendrick still stared at Natalie.


    "I''ll really...really take it off."


    Kendrick almost didn''t blink, and his expression seemed to say take it off!


    Kendrick seemed to say, "I''ve seen your chest, kissed your lips, and pped your butt."


    "It''s nothing to look at your legs."


    Because of Kendrick''s gaze, Natalie felt her blood freeze and was going to copse. Natalie thought,


    "He should turn his face and ask what you''re doing. Why did he think outside the box?"


    Natalie''s hand froze.


    After a while, Natalie withdrew her hand with an embarrassed expression.


    Kendrick released Natalie''s hand and suddenly said after being silent for a while, "If you are injured


    somewhere, don''t hold out on me." Kendrick continued to say in a low and gentle voice, "I won''t do


    anything to you."


    Kendrick never scolded Natalie or beat her.


    Although sometimes Kendrick was very angry, he was still restrained.


    Kendrick''s low voice melted Natalie''s heart. Natalie said gently unconsciously, "It''s all right. I just didn''t


    feel well a few days ago, and I had acupuncture in my knees."


    "Let me have a look." Kendrick didn''t make a concession.


    Natalie had no choice but to roll up her pants.


    In fact, the red marks on Natalie''s knees were almost healed, but they still looked a bit scary.


    Kendrick immediately had an extremely gloomy look.


    Kendrick suppressed his anger and asked, "You don''t want your legs anymore, do you?" He touched


    Natalie''s knee and looked up at Natalie. Kendrick asked again, "Who gave you acupuncture?"


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie thought, "He said he would do nothing to me just now."


    "He''s angry again."


    "See, he looks fierce again."


    Natalie pouted and said, "I just felt my knees a little sore, so I went to a massage parlor for


    acupuncture. I''m fine!"


    Natalie thought, "I can go up to the eighth floor in one breath and then do ten groups of jumping jacks."


    "Which massage parlor?"


    "I... I don''t remember."


    Seeing Kendrick''s cold expression, Natalie hurriedly said, "You said you won''t do anything to me, and


    you''re angry with me now. You don''t keep your word."


    Kendrick didn''t respond to Natalie''s words but just said, "Since you can''t remember, I''ll ask Brock to


    figure it out."


    "I asked to have acupuncture myself," Natalie said.


    "There is no difference," Kendrick said in a cold voice.


    Kendrick thought, "Having acupuncture in the knees is dangerous. If there''s any mistake, both legs will


    be incapacitated."


    "No matter who asked to do it, there''s no need for that massage parlor to continue running."


    Natalie was going to copse.


    Kendrick was too pushy. He looked like a pushover but not.


    Kendrick was so smart that it was difficult to be fooled.


    But Natalie had no choice.


    Natalie thought, "I can''t say that I gave myself acupuncture, and I''m super good at it. I know all the


    acupoints of the human body, and I also know that people will feel the strongest pain and react the


    most violently when the golden needle is inserted at a 45-degree oblique angle.


    Natalie bit her lip and said in a husky voice, "I was wrong. I won''t be like this in the future. Can you not


    pursue the matter? I really asked for it."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick with pleading.


    Kendrick met Natalie''s gaze.


    Natalie''s clear and beautiful eyes could always let Kendrick make a concession.


    In the end, the anger in Kendrick''s eyes finally drained away.


    Kendrick pressed his eyebrows and slowly put down Natalie''s rolled-up pants in silence.


    Kendrick did it softly and straightened up.


    After a while, Kendrick said calmly, "I can''t walk, but you can. Don''t always let your legs get hurt."


    Kendrick thought, "Girls should take care of their bodies."


    "Her legs were not only scratched by a knife but pricked by a needle."


    "How painful it is!"


    Natalie''s heart lurched for Kendrick''s gentleness.


    Kendrick raised his head again, and his expression softened a lot. He asked, "Got it?"


    Natalie nodded.


    "If you hurt yourself again..." Kendrick warned in a cold tone, "You''ll just stay at home and be not


    allowed to go anywhere!"


    "Got it," Natalie replied well-behaved.


    When Natalie was about to hold the set of books back to the room, she asked curiously, "Can you tell


    me how you got this set of books?"


    Kendrick said calmly, "I asked the printing house to reprint the set and airlift it back overnight."


    Natalie said in shock, "It works this way?"


    Kendrick thought, "As long as it''s for you, it certainly works."


    When Kendrick requested it in the chat group of Beyond Club, the top people in the world were all


    confused that the mysterious club chairman, known as the financial genius KC, suddenly remarked


    online and offered a reward.


    What was even more strange was that Kendrick just wanted a set of books!


    But since it was Kendrick''s request, the top people hurried to carry it out without a doubt.


    Natalie squatted down and said sincerely, "Thank you for making so much effort to give me the set of


    books. I like it very much."


    "It''s nothing." Kendrick said calmly, "I have many alumni, and they will help me if I make a request."


    Natalie thought, "You are really awesome!"


    With her thumb up, Natalie said, "You''re so excellent. Tell me quickly what else did you hide?"


    Natalie remembered that Kendrick seemed to have a double degree in finance and electronic


    information technology.


    Kendrick asked, "Are you curious?"


    Natalie kept nodding.


    "You can find out by yourself," Kendrick said proudly.


    Natalie snorted softly and thought, "I also hide a lot of things from you, and I won''t tell you."


    Thinking of this, Natalie suddenly asked cautiously, "What do you think of me?"


    Kendrick frowned slightly and was confused.


    "Do you...think I''m only a foodie?"


    Natalie thought, "I''m not!"


    Kendrick pressed his lips and said, "Nothing bad."


    Kendrick thought, "Smart people will get hurt."


    "It''s better to live a simple and happy life without thinking too much."


    "I''m not." Natalie denied, "Actually, I''m also awesome!"


    Kendrick just looked at Natalie.


    Kendrick thought, "Yeah, I know it."


    "You''re intelligent."


    "You can understand things quickly without extra exnation."


    "If you weren''t smart, I wouldn''t look at you more."


    "But you seemed to suddenly be smart at a certain point."


    "It''s a sudden change."

 Chapter 78 Get Out of My Way

    Chapter 78 Get Out of My Way


    Chapter 78 Get Out of My Way


    "You''re awesome." Kendrick agreed, "You dare to have acupuncture in your knees!"


    Natalie thought, "Is it not over yet?"


    Natalie pouted and hoped Kendrick wouldn''t mention it again.


    "Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, dinner is ready, please have a meal."


    Ashlynn walked over from the restaurant and said this.


    "Dinner time!" Natalie immediately put down the books.


    Kendrick looked at Natalie and shook his head slightly with a smile.


    Kendrick''s heart seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, and he was not deste anymore and


    became vigorous.


    ...


    In the evening, Natalie sent an email to Owen and asked him how the treatment n was going.


    Owen was very honest and did not hide anything.


    He even sent the most recent n to Natalie.


    Natalie circled the dosage of the medicine and asked Owen why it was different from what they had


    discussed before.


    Owen replied, "Mr. Ramsey has much better endurance than ordinary people, so I increase the dosage


    within the scope of medication."


    Natalie''s typing hand froze.


    "One more milligram of medicine, one more pain for Kendrick."


    Natalie typed these words and suddenly realized that she became emotionally involved.


    Owen followed the best n in both medication and medical instruments, which was because of his


    professional quality with no personal emotions.


    Natalie knew that it was her who wavered.


    Because Kendrick''s pain affected Natalie''s emotions.


    Natalie slowly deleted the typed words.


    Doctors could bepassionate and kind-hearted, but they were forbidden to have personal emotions


    for patients.


    Once they had personal emotions, the effect of treatment would definitely be affected.


    Natalie covered her face and was full of unspeakable emotions for an instant. She was unwilling to


    make Kendrick suffer, but she also knew that the follow-up treatment must be extremely painful.


    Since Kendrick agreed to re-diagnose, he would inevitably have to bear the subsequent pain.


    It would be ten times or even a hundred times more painful than it was now.


    Actually, it didn''t matter if Kendrick disagreed. He had a good life and was also the sir of the Ramsey


    family who was out of reach for others. Kendrick had great abilities and a firm will, and he would


    definitely take over the Ramsey Group soon in the future.


    Maintaining the status quo wasfortable and easy.


    But it was difficult and ineffective to change it.


    Kendrick was so smart and he must be able to think of it.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Even so, Kendrick agreed atst.


    Natalie hadn''t thought about it carefully. Now when she recalled, she felt as if her heart was grabbed by


    someone, and she was too painful to breathe.


    Tears blurred Natalie''s eyes. After thinking for a while, Natalie finally emailed Owen, "Do it your way!"


    After a long time, Natalie wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked herself why she


    was crying for a man again.


    Natalie thought, "I have a strong will and I can''t cry easily."


    "The crybaby is Maggie, not me."


    "I''m strong."


    Natalie calmed down and sent Owen the acupuncture video she had organized and produced and the


    neural picture of the human body she had drawn.


    Natalie was temporarily unable to act in her own capacity.


    Natalie thought, "Owen,e on. Otherwise, you don''t deserve to be called a genius."


    ...


    Natalie stayed upte to trante Neurology and didn''t go to bed until four o''clock in the morning.


    It was already the most advanced professional book.


    Natalie knew all the knowledge in the book.


    Natalie had already made a decision. She didn''t need to show up for the early treatment, and she could


    guide Owen. However, Owen couldn''t finish the follow-up operation alone. Natalie had to be the chief


    surgeon.


    Natalie thought, "How can I hide it then?"


    Natalie sighed and thought, "I''ll y it by ear."


    "I really don''t have time to think so much now."


    Natalie woke up at 8 o''clock the next day and then saw a message from Kendrick.


    "The car has been picked. Don''t forget to test it today."


    Testing the car?


    Natalie just remembered Kendrick had said he would buy her a car.


    Natalie thought in surprise, "He bought it!"


    Natalie sat up and was stunned.


    She thought, "I have studied hard and worked hard since childhood. Besides, I saved a lot of people


    when I grew up. I have never hurt any good people."


    "Therefore, I can have such a perfect husband."


    Sure enough, at ten o''clock in the morning, the automobile sales service shop called Natalie and said


    that the manager would pick her up to test the car in person.


    It was the super VIP treatment!


    The car was a Mercedes-Benz S-ss car, worth millions of dors.


    Kendrick''s most important requirement for cars was high safety, so his Maybach used lightweight


    reinforced bulletproof steel tes.


    Even the AK47 couldn''t pierce the ss and car body. Besides, almost ten airbags protected


    Kendrick''s safety in all directions.


    Natalie thought, "A rich man can do whatever he wants!"


    Natalie tested the car happily, showing that she had been around. She thought, "Well, I''ve also driven


    the royal blue Lamborghini of my senior female fellow before."


    "Mrs. Ramsey, if there''s nothing wrong, please sign it!" The manager smiled tteringly and continued,


    "It''s the exclusive car specially ordered by Mr. Ramsey for you."


    The manager obviously knew Natalie''s identity. At this moment, he regretted that he was not a girl and


    could not marry Kendrick.


    Natalie hesitated and sent a message to Kendrick.


    "Are you sure to buy it?"


    Kendrick replied, "I''ve already paid, and the refund procedure isplicated."


    Natalie was speechless.


    Actually, Natalie also had millions of dors in her ount.


    But Natalie was a cheapskate and was not willing to buy such an expensive car.


    Finally, Natalie picked up the pen and pretended to be calm to sign her name.


    Natalie thought, "Sure enough, the new car is so great and has a powerful engine." The moment


    Natalie drove out, she felt that the whole world was hers.


    Natalie drove the car home.


    Many people took the initiative to slow down to keep their distance when they saw Natalie''s car logo


    and license te.


    Natalie was unimpeded all the way until she entered the Wonder Vi. A figure suddenly appeared on


    the road, and the person walked straight past Natalie''s car.


    Natalie immediately mmed on the brakes.


    The person mmed into Natalie''s car with a bang.


    Natalie immediately opened the car door and got out of the car. She went over and saw a woman in


    red. Natalie took out her mobile phone and took a few photos as evidence. Then Natalie stepped


    forward and asked, "Are you okay?"


    The woman raised her head and shouted in surprise, "Natalie, it''s you! I''m looking for you."


    Natalie was confused.


    Natalie thought, "Who is this?"


    "I don''t know her."


    The woman stretched out her hand and was about to grab Natalie.


    Natalie avoided the woman decisively.


    "Natalie, Orion has been sentenced to fifteen years. Are you so indifferent? You''re so hard-hearted."


    At this time, Natalie suddenly remembered the woman was Litzy. Litzy might have just finished her


    cosmetic medicine activity, and her face looked full of dermal filler. Natalie didn''t recognize Litzy at all.


    Natalie spread her hands and said, "It seems that thew is fair and just."


    Litzy was angry, struggling to get up from the ground and patting the dust on her ass. She said, "Don''t


    make cutting remarks. It''s enough for him to be sentenced to imprisonment for so many years! Why


    don''t you just let him go? He almost died."


    Natalie frowned.


    Natalie thought, "What is she talking about? I can''t understand a word."


    "Drop the act. It''s Kendrick!" Litzy gnashed her teeth and said, "It''s Kendrick who asked someone to


    beat him, and he got hemiplegia."


    Natalie thought, "Kendrick asked someone to beat Orion, and Orion got hemiplegia."


    "Litzy said a lot. Is that what she wants to express?"


    "It''s impossible."


    "Kendrick is so gentle and has never spoken to me loudly. He can''t do such a thing."


    "Besides, Orion is nothing. Kendrick doesn''t have to teach him a lesson."


    Natalie frowned and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. Kendrick didn''t do that! It''s normal for people in


    prison to be beaten. Who is Orion? Kendrick doesn''t even remember his name, let alone ask someone


    to beat him. You are so crazy, no wonder you m into my car. I should give you two pills of


    cephalosporins and a bottle of liquor. Get out of my way!"

 Chapter 79 Dislocate Her Arms Directly

    Chapter 79 Dislocate Her Arms Directly


    Chapter 79 Dislocate Her Arms Directly


    Litzy was so surprised that she opened her mouth because of Natalie''s words.


    "Don''t you believe me?" Litzy pointed to Natalie and kept repeating, "You don''t believe me. Why?


    Natalie, are you deceived by him?"


    Natalie was so annoyed.


    Natalie thought, "She''s just like bubble gum, and I can''t get rid of her."


    "I should have hit her in the head with a cupst time."


    "I shouldn''t have been polite to her."


    Natalie didn''t talk with Litzy anymore. Natalie wanted to open the car door and get back into the driver''s


    seat.


    Litzy was so bold that she blocked Natalie in front of the car door with her arms open.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows.


    Natalie thought, "Well, is she challenging my patience?"


    "Get out of the way!"


    Natalie was furious.


    Litzy was frightened by Natalie''s sharp eyes. Litzy slowly moved an inch away. There were lots of


    thoughts shing into Litzy''s mind. Litzy finally knelt directly in public and cried out, "Nat, please save


    Orion. Please help him reduce his sentence. If he''s really in prison for fifteen years, his life will be


    ruined."


    Natalie grabbed Litzy''s cor and threw Litzy aside.


    Litzy rushed over again and hugged Natalie''s ankle. Litzy shouted, "Or you can find a doctor for him.


    Because of Kendrick''s words, no one in Goldburg dares to save him. If it goes on like this, his legs will


    be incapacitated."


    Natalie thought, "It doesn''t look like she''s lying."


    "It seems that Orion was beaten a lot in prison."


    "Anyway, he deserves it."


    "People who want to bully Kendrick''s people wille to no good end."


    "Even if the man is just a bodyguard, Kendrick will protect him."


    Natalie sighed with emotion and thought, "He really watches his men''s back."


    "No wonder so many people are loyal to him."


    "Then so be it," Natalie said lightly.


    Litzy opened her eyes widened and couldn''t believe Natalie was so indifferent.


    Natalie lowered her head and looked at Litzy contemptuously. Natalie said, "Orion hurt Kendrick''s


    person. Do you think all he has to do is just go to jail? If Kendrick didn''t punish Orion as a warning to


    others, anyone would dare to bully his men, and Kendrick would have no prestige in front of his


    subordinates. It''s all Orion''s fault. He''s so stupid and impetuous. I just want to say that he deserves it."


    "Why did you put in a word for Kendrick? Do you know what kind of person he is? He is ruthless and


    unscrupulous. Once one provokes him, he will immediately show no mercy to that man."


    Natalie looked at Litzy coldly and said, "I know better than you about Kendrick, and I don''t need you to


    tell me."


    "We are friends, Nat. Are you really so indifferent?"


    Natalie had better endurance because she got the new car today.


    After hearing Litzy''s words, Natalie sneered, "Friend?"


    "You get nothing from school. You''re such an idiot and swindler. You''re so ignorant, selfish, and


    hypocritical. You can do nothing but have stic surgery and take selfies. You even have an affair


    when you''re with Orion. Your life is meaningless. I have nothing inmon with you from the


    beginning, let alone the spiritual world. Why do you think we are friends? If you''re good-looking, I can


    force myself into telling myself that appearance is power. Just look in the mirror and look at your


    deformed face. You can directly pierce your throat as soon as you lower your head."


    Natalie finished speaking in one breath without panting.


    Litzy flushed with shame because of Natalie''s words.


    Suddenly, a car whistled behind them.


    The car came from behind.


    Natalie wanted to pull out her leg, but Litzy held it hard.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie suddenly had a gloomy look and said coldly, "But some of your words are right. Kendrick is


    merciless when he''s offended, and so am I."


    After speaking, Natalie forcibly lifted her leg held by Litzy and then kicked the crazy woman''s chest


    without mercy.


    It made Litzy ck out and almost vomit blood. Litzy directly fell to the ground.


    Natalie pulled out her foot and sneered, "If you dare to appear in front of me again in the future, I will


    also make your legs incapacitated."


    Litzy struggled to get up and stretched out her hand. Before Litzy touched Natalie, a tall figure came


    and blocked Litzy''s view.


    After crisp sounds, Litzy gave a cry of anguish.


    The figure was Brock.


    Brock held Litzy in an armlock and dislocated her arms directly.


    Natalie was stunned.


    "Well..."


    Natalie looked back and saw the ck Maybach 62s parked not far away with its windows closed, but


    she knew Kendrick must be inside.


    Seeing Natalie''s shocked expression, Brock touched his head and felt a little regretful. Brock thought, "I


    seem to have scared Mrs. Ramsey because of my quick and ruthless movements."


    Brock immediately bowed to Natalie at a ny-degree angle and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Ramsey.


    I scared you. I saw she pester you, so I couldn''t control my strength in a hurry."


    The tall mixed-race man bowed to Natalie respectfully and humbly.


    "I''m not scared," Natalie said.


    Natalie thought, "It was just too fast, and I didn''t get it at the moment."


    "Mr. Ramsey asked me to do it." Brock immediately let his boss be the scapegoat. Brock said, "He


    thought you were bullied, and let me teach this woman a good lesson!"


    Brock thought, "It was Ken who asked me to dislocate her arms."


    "It''s true. Please believe me!"


    "Well done," Natalie nodded and encouraged. If Brock weren''t too tall, Natalie would pat him on the


    shoulder to encourage him.


    Natalie thought, "That''s so typical of him as an agent. He''s really good at fighting and moves without


    hesitation."


    Brock made a phone call and asked the security guard of Wonder Vi to deal with Litzy.


    Litzy rolled on the ground in pain and wailed.


    Litzy''s arms hung feebly by her side.


    Seeing this, due to professional habits, Natalie squatted down, touched Litzy''s arms, and then gave


    Litzy''s dislocated arms reduction.


    Litzy almost fainted with the pain.


    "Your arms are all right. You''re not injured. Don''t try to ckmail medical bills." Natalie stood up and


    kicked Litzy''s arm. "Get out of here. Don''t let me see you again."


    Brock looked at Natalie from the side.


    Brock thought, "Wow, Mrs. Ramsey is so cool."


    "She can give the tricky dislocated arms reduction!"


    ...


    Natalie drove the new car back to the vi garage.


    Kendrick got out of his car and waited for Natalie in the courtyard.


    Under the sunset, Natalie ran over, looking lovely.


    Natalie had long, straight, and slender legs. When she ran, everyone envied her legs, and she looked


    like a fawn.


    Looking at Natalie''s lively appearance, Kendrick seemed to see himself in those days. Natalie''s life was


    like another side of the mirror, which Kendrick longed for but could not have.


    Kendrick smiled slightly and asked, "Do you like the car?"


    "Yes! It''s so cool." Natalie said with a big smile, "When I was driving on the road, the drivers took the


    initiative to keep their distance from me for fear of nicking my car. For so many years..."


    Natalie thought, "For so many years, I haven''t driven unimpeded."


    Natalie certainly couldn''t say that.


    Natalie coughed and stopped.


    "I''m d you like it." Kendrick looked at Natalie gently. He liked Natalie''s smiles, which were full of


    vitality, so he always wanted to do something to make Natalie happy. Giving gifts was a good way.


    Brock came over at this moment to report that Litzy had been cklisted by the security system of the


    Wonder Vi. Once her facial features were recognized by infrared rays, Litzy would be identified as an


    illegal intruder, and the rm system would be activated.


    Kendrick just gave a short answer. He nced at Natalie as if waiting for her to speak.

    Chapter 80 My Waist Is Almost Broken


    Natalie thought, "Of course, I agree with it!"


    "It''s better to add an invisible power grid."


    "If Litzy gets close, she''ll immediately get an electric shock from the 220V high voltage."


    However, Natalie knew that she couldn''t say that.


    Natalie responded wittily, "I was deceived by her and mistook her as a friend. Now I know clearly that


    she is hypocritical and selfish, and I''ve made a clean break with her and will no longer contact her."


    Kendrick stared at Natalie.


    Natalie''s eyes were clear and pure.


    Kendrick thought, "If I read it correctly in the car, Natalie kicked the lunatic''s chest."


    "She came to me today because Orion was sentenced to 15 years, and she wanted to ask me to help


    him reduce the sentence. I''m not a judge and can''t help him. I''ve already rejected her before, and she


    still didn''t give up," Natalie added.


    Natalie didn''t want to hide anything.


    "Orion was sentenced to 15 years because of multiple crimes," Brock exined.


    Although the judge tried to figure out Kendrick''s mind when he ruled, that was the result.


    Natalie said, "If one does something wrong, he has to pay the price. I believe thew is fair!"


    Natalie thought, "That jerk has nothing to do with me."


    "I don''t even want to mention his name."


    Natalie touched her head and said, "She also said..." Natalie didn''t hide it and said directly, "She said


    you asked someone to make Orion''s leg incapacitated."


    Kendrick was still calm and said with a smile, "And?"


    "I didn''t believe it at first." Natalie said directly, "Because you''re such a gentle person, and there''s no


    need for you to have it in for such a nobody. Then I figured out that you punished him as an example to


    others."


    Natalie acted as if she had seen through Kendrick and said, "In this way, no one will dare to bully your


    people in the future!"


    Brock showed a bad expression on the side.


    Brock thought, "Mrs. Ramsey is so outspoken."


    "Is this something that can be said?"


    "Moreover, Mr. Ramsey just looks gentle, even sometimes not."


    "At that time, I waspletely convinced by Kendrick''s means, so I decided to be loyal to him.


    "Of course, the main reason was that he took a gun to my temple."


    "If I didn''t agree, he would kill me!"


    Kendrick smiled.


    Kendrick felt it was a little funny because he didn''t think so.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Kendrick was just in a bad mood one night and wanted to vent his anger on Orion.


    That was all.


    Kendrick didn''t need to maintain his dignity by Orion at all.


    Seeing Kendrick''s smile, Natalie thought she was right.


    Kendrick stopped smiling and said, "It''s getting dark. Go in first."


    Natalie pushed the wheelchair and walked inside.


    "I''m over it." Kendrick said suddenly, "I won''t ask any more about it!"


    Kendrick would no longer care about the previous things. He remembered what Natalie had said, "Just


    remember the present and future me."


    "OK!" Natalie smiled slightly.


    Natalie thought she finally got rid of a big problem.


    ...


    In the evening, Natalie read a book in the room for a while.


    After reading a few lines, Natalie began to be distracted.


    Natalie thought, "What is Kendrick doing now?"


    "Reading a book?"


    "Or reading the files and dealing with work?"


    "Is he wondering what I''m doing, too?"


    While thinking about it, Natalie felt the medical book was boring, which had never happened before.


    Natalie thought that men indeed affected her learning efficiency.


    She kept repeating in her heart, "As long as I don''t think of a man, I can learn efficiently."


    After repeating several times, Natalie began to wonder if Kendrick would also feel that women affected


    his work efficiency.


    Natalie thought, "No, he can''t think so."


    Natalie put down the book.


    Then she patted her head.


    She wondered if she was really in love.


    Natalie had never been in love before, and she didn''t know what it was like to be in love.


    Anyway, Natalie would think of Kendrick as soon as she was free.


    Natalie got up and opened the door. She hovered in Kendrick''s doorway, thinking about an excuse to


    enter his room.


    Natalie thought, "Girls need to be reserved asionally."


    When Natalie thought about it, she nced at the entrance of the stairs.


    Baron came up with a tray.


    It was warm milk on the tray.


    Natalie ran over immediately.


    It scared Baron so that he almost dropped the tray.


    "Baron, you can have a rest, and I''ll bring it to Kendrick."


    Baron handed it to Natalie and said, "Thank you. Be careful, it''s a bit hot."


    "You''re wee."


    Natalie knocked on the door with milk.


    "Baron asked me to bring you the milk."


    Kendrick looked up and found it was Natalie.


    Natalie put the milk aside and said, "It''s a bit hot. You can drink itter!" Natalie sat on the edge of the


    bed and nced at the document in Kendrick''s hand. She asked, "What are you reading?"


    "I printed out the treatment n that Dr. Gentry just updated, and it will be the consultation of doctors


    next time." Kendrick said, "It''s scheduled for next Friday."


    "It''s so soon!" Natalie was stunned. Then she suddenly remembered that Kendrick had little time and


    had to race against time.


    Kendrick frowned slightly and said, "Owen is well prepared. He even made aparative analysis of


    my medical records for many years. In addition, he has made sure the list of experts for my review."


    Kendrick didn''t expect Owen to have a great ability to analyze data.


    Kendrick also thought that Owen had a high work efficiency.


    But Kendrick was not easy to praise someone.


    Natalie thought, "I made the analysis. I stayed up for almost three nights, and my dark circles are still


    here."


    "The list of experts is also from me."


    Natalie could only say, "Dr. Gentry is excellent!"


    Kendrick turned his face and nced at Natalie expressionlessly.


    Natalie didn''t notice Kendrick''s expression and said, "Then you should follow Dr. Gentry''s advice. It''s


    right to listen to a professional. Don''t have too many ideas of your own."


    Natalie thought, "I''m talking about you, Kendrick."


    "You always have your ideas!"


    Kendrick squinted slightly and said indifferently, "You think highly of Owen. You praised him in front of


    me from the beginning. Maybe I should introduce you to each other."


    Natalie felt something was wrong when she heard this.


    Natalie would make a joke about other things.


    But this matter...


    Natalie said cautiously, "I just admire the professional as an ordinary person, and give us confidence in


    each other to put you at your best."


    Seeing Natalie''s cautious appearance, Kendrick felt that he was a little touchy.


    Kendrick directly said that without thinking.


    Kendrick lowered his head and continued to read the documents.


    Natalie saw Kendrick ignoring her, she yed the old trick again. She put her breath in Kendrick''s ear.


    But Kendrick was unswayed.


    Natalie thought, "Won''t his ears be red?"


    Natalie was confused and got close to taking a look, and Kendrick just waited for this moment.


    Kendrick directly sped Natalie''s wrist, and Natalie''s hand was behind her back, which made Natalie


    fling herself into Kendrick''s arms.


    Natalie wanted to straighten herself up but had no strength in her waist.


    Their chests clung to each other.


    Natalie was still moving.


    When Natalie struggled, Kendrick clearly felt Natalie''s breasts rubbing against his chest.


    Natalie said angrily, "Let me go. My waist is almost broken in this way."


    Natalie''s waist was unsupported, hanging in the air, which made Natalie feel extremely tired.


    Natalieboriously moved her body up and then straightened herself up. She begged for mercy, "I''ll be


    well-behaved. My waist is really going to break."


    Seeing that Kendrick wasn''t about to release her, Natalie rubbed him with her face. Suddenly, Kendrick


    released Natalie, and Natalie knocked on Kendrick''s face because she lost her center of gravity.


    Both of them felt their lips a little cold.


    Someone took the initiative to kiss another one.


    Natalie swore that she definitely didn''t take the initiative.


    Because Natalie''s lip was quickly bitten by Kendrick.

 Chapter 81 Natalies Wish

    Chapter 81 Natalie''s Wish


    Chapter 81 Natalie''s Wish


    Natalie''s breath was filled with Kendrick''s masculine scent.


    She quickly searched her memory.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    With thest experience, she didn''t panic much. She reached out to hook Kendrick''s neck and kissed


    him back passionately.


    She even dared to break into his teeth with the tip of her tongue.


    Kendrick''s ck eyes instantly darkened a lot.


    Their breaths mingled, and they could distinctly feel each other''s temperature.


    The cold cedar cologne belonged to Kendrick, and the sweet rose perfume belonged to Natalie.


    They blended together and created a hot and erotic atmosphere.


    The joy in Natalie''s heart spread. She couldn''t help but think, "I''ve never met a man like him who''s as


    dazzling as a star in my life. He''s restrained, gentle, yet domineering. He takes good care of me in this


    strange world.


    Women never want much.


    All we wish for in life is to be loved and pampered.


    That''s all!"


    The love that oozed from the bottom of her heart made Natalie actively deepen the kiss.


    Natalie was bold but inexperienced.


    As a result, she soon became out of breath.


    She felt like she was about to faint.


    "Breathe." Kendrick finally realized that the little fool in his arms hadn''t exhaled during the kiss. Due to


    Natalie''s initiative just now, he had thought she was good at kissing, but he hadn''t expected her to be


    out of breath so soon.


    Natalie gasped heavily and pulled herself back from the edge of suffocation. She leaned softly against


    his shoulder and felt that her cheeks were blushing. She suddenly noticed that even her fingertips were


    trembling.


    After calming down, Natalieined, "You took advantage of me off guard and deliberately kissed


    me."


    After saying that, she continued in her heart, "It''s him. It''s definitely him who hit his lips on mine.


    At that time, I was afraid of hitting him in the face and tried my best not to move my face, but he


    actually leaned his face forward himself.


    It must be him.


    He even bit my lips and the tip of my tongue."


    After waiting for a while, Natalie still didn''t hear Kendrick speak. Just as she was about to straighten up


    and look at him, she suddenly heard him ask, "Do you like it?"


    Natalie didn''t speak.


    She lowered her head a bit, feeling shy.


    She thought to herself, "What should I do next?


    Now that I have regained my breath, should I try it again?"


    Just as she was thinking, Kendrick''s hoarse voice suddenly came from above her head, "Get off me for


    a moment."


    Natalie finally realized that she was sitting on his legs.


    She quickly got up and then saw Kendrick pull a thin nket over hisp.


    Seeing that, Natalie thought in confusion, "It''s now September, and the air conditioning is not on. Is he


    feeling cold?


    Perhaps his legs are a bit ufortable."


    Just as Natalie was about to speak, Kendrick said, "I have some documents to deal with. There will be


    a group executive meeting tomorrow."


    "Okay, okay." Natalie quickly nodded.  "Then remember to drink the milk. I''ll go for some reading."


    Kendrick nodded.


    After Natalie had left the room, Kendrick leaned back against the head of the bed and calmed his rapid


    breathing.


    He dropped his eyes to his crotch.


    Then he clenched his hand into a fist and knocked on his forehead.


    "Damn it!" he cursed.


    ...


    Natalie returned to her room and started reading.


    Her mind, however, was upied by the kiss.


    As a result, she could not concentrate on her reading at all.


    She couldn''t help but think, "Well, he really has a great influence on my learning."


    She reached out to touch her lips and suddenly saw a new e-mail on herputer screen.


    As she had expected, it was from Owen.


    Natalie clicked on it and saw a long message. She skimmed it and quickly sorted out the key points.


    Owen had a conflict with someone.


    That person was Glenn Murphy, a professor of traditional medicine who was in charge of acupuncture


    in Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment n.


    Owen was skilled in modern medicine and surgery.


    As for acupuncture, he had learned some theory but never practiced it.


    Therefore, he turned to Glenn, who used to be his teacher.


    He gave Natalie''s drawing of acupoints and acupuncture n to Glenn.


    Glenn nced at them and asked, "Owen, you already have your own n, so why should I


    acupuncture your patient? Am I a cat''s paw? Don''t you think it will ruin my reputation if this is known by


    others? I won''t do that."


    Owen was surprised. "Prof. Murphy, but you have already agreed to join the expert group and signed


    the confidentiality agreement."


    Glenn had been at the forefront of traditional acupuncture for many years and had never been


    arranged.


    Therefore, he said, "Even so, I don''t have to listen to you in everything. Can''t I have some autonomy?"


    Owen was a mild man, and he couldn''t argue with his teacher anyway. As a result, he could only say,


    "The n has been approved by Mr. Ramsey."


    "He doesn''t understand anything about treatment, so he would certainly listen to you." Glenn


    fool him?"


    Owen had no choice but to say, "Any question is wee during the consultation on Friday. We''ll


    resolve your concerns then, okay?"


    Glenn snorted coldly.


    Owen immediately e-mailed Natalie to inform her of the situation.


    Natalie was not very surprised.


    She had always known that such experts were too proud to listen to others. After all, she was one of


    them at times.


    That was why she would say that Owen was different, for he could always maintain a humble attitude


    towards learning.


    She prepared the answers to the questions that Glenn might raise so that Owen could use them at the


    Friday consultation meeting.


    Acupuncture did not ount for arge proportion of the overall treatment n. It was only an auxiliary


    treatment in the early stage.


    The core was spinal nerve surgery.


    Therefore, Owen was very important in the n.


    Natalie clearly knew that Owen was the only one except her in this world capable of performing the


    surgery on Kendrick.


    And, the important parts of the n were all decided by her.


    As a result, she felt that questioning Owen was actually questioning her.


    Natalie narrowed her eyes slightly.


    She was determined to switch whoever questioned too much.


    ...


    There was a morning meeting the next day.


    Nigel found that Kendrick was a bit strange.


    He noticed that Kendrick had been touching his lips.


    He even looked somewhat absent-minded.


    However, even so, he still pointed out an inconspicuous mistake in Nigel''s work report.


    Nigel suspected that the dry autumn weather had made Kendrick''s lips ufortable.


    He immediately sent a message in the group chat of the president''s office. [Nigel: Who''s free to buy a


    lip balm for Mr. Ramsey? He has been touching his lips this morning. I suspect that it''s because it''s a


    bit dry in the early autumn.]


    [Rose: Mr. Ramsey has one himself. I saw him use it once. It even has a strawberry pattern on the


    package.]


    [Nigel: Really?]


    [Rose: Absolutely.]


    Rose then sent a picture of the same lip balm in the group chat.


    Seeing that, Nigel couldn''t help but think, "Have I been neglecting my bosstely? Why do I feel I don''t


    know him anymore?"


    In the afternoon, Nigel went into Kendrick''s office to report on the progress of the Ramsey Hotel


    business, saying that they received positive responses as soon as the concept of smart hotels was


    proposed. The upancy rate increased by 30%pared tost month, and it was estimated that


    the revenue for this quarter would reach the sum of the first two quarters.


    Kendrick did not show much joy, for he had always been an emotionally restrained man. He just


    He unconsciously bit his lower lip and said, "All my work this month will be focused on the Ramsey


    Technology project. You don''t need to report to me everything about the hotel business. I just want a


    result."


    Nigel nodded.


    Kendrick frowned as if he had thought of something. "Where is Melvin now?"


    "He secretly flew back from Melpoolst Friday and is now in Weirburg, using a different identity."


    For the convenience of cross-border round trips, almost everyone in the Ramsey family had dual


    identities.


    Kendrick sneered, "Keep an eye on him. Without my permission, no media is allowed to report this


    matter."


    After saying that, he continued in his heart, "Since Seth suspects me, I will take the initiative this time


    and inform him in advance of this matter, so that he''llpletely shut up."


    Nigel nodded. "Yes, Mr. Ramsey."


    Kendrick motioned him to go out.


    After taking a few steps towards the door, Nigel stopped, turned around, and asked hesitantly, "Mr.


    Ramsey, do you need a lip balm?"


    Kendrick''s hand, resting on his lips, paused instantly.

 Chapter 82 Kendricks Possessiveness

    Chapter 82 Kendrick''s Possessiveness


    Chapter 82 Kendrick''s Possessiveness


    When Nigel came out of the office, he bumped into Rose.


    He stopped her and said in surprise, "Mr. Ramsey really has a strawberry lip balm. I saw it!"


    Nigel had not expected to be able to silence Kendrick with a question.


    After he asked the question, Kendrick took out a lip balm from the drawer, which meant he had.


    Rose said, "I have seen it several times and I feel like it has been used for quite some time."


    Nigel frowned. "It must be Mrs. Ramsey''s. No normal man would use a lip balm with a strawberry


    pattern."


    Rose nodded in agreement. "I think so." She pointed inwardly and said, "Mr. Ramsey''s in a good mood


    about girls. Of course, he wasn''t asking about me. I know who I am."


    "What did you say?"


    "I said that I usually bought myself some bags, lipstick, and things like that. I told him that if I liked


    someone, I would like whatever he gave me. Guess what Mr. Ramsey said?"


    Nigel got excited. "Let''s go to the break room to make some coffee and talk about the Q3 work n."


    When the two of them arrived at the break room, Rose said, "Mr. Ramsey said no matter what, he


    couldn''t choose a gift casually but to think over it carefully."


    Nigel was surprised. "What a high EQ! Mr. Ramsey is really good at pleasing a girl!"N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Rose spread out her hands. "For any man, once he cares about a girl, he''ll be 100% devoted and self-


    taught."


    ...


    On Friday''s consultation meeting.


    Kendrick specially spared out a day.


    Over the past nearly twenty years, he had participated in countless such diagnosis and treatment


    consultation meetings,rge and small.


    Seth had even gathered many teams of famous doctors from around the world for him.


    Unfortunately, all their efforts ended in failure.


    Until recent years, there were still top medical teams attempting to treat him, but they were all rejected


    by him, except this time.


    At the long table in the conference room, Kendrick took the main seat.


    Natalie sat to his left, while Owen sat opposite Natalie.


    After Owen finished his narration, Glenn questioned that Owen''s acupuncture n was so


    unconventional that he had never seen it in all these years. He also said that Owen was mainly


    engaged in modern surgery and was not good at acupuncture.


    Owen said unhurriedly, "This acupuncture n is improved on the previous one. Although I majored in


    modern surgery, I also studied acupuncture under your guidance. I am proficient in basic theoretical


    expertise, so I''m not bad at it. Besides, you did not raise any objections at the beginning."


    Glenn was silent for a while.


    Then he said, "I''m in doubt about the n. For Mr. Rong''s safety, I suggest that I should draw up a new


    acupuncture treatment n."


    Glenn had been silent before Owen had finished his narration. Apparently, he now felt that Owen''s n


    had a high probability of sess, so he jumped out to get a piece of the cake.


    Kendrick listened to them in silence.


    After all, he was not a medical professional, and as he had given them great respect, he would


    naturally have no personal opinion.


    Owen frowned.


    The entire conference room was extremely quiet.


    Suddenly, Natalie''s voice rang out.


    "If I remember correctly, Prof. Murphy once treated Mr. Ramsey with acupuncture six years ago." Her


    calm and clear voice broke the silence.


    Natalie turned to look at Glenn. "It didn''t work at all that time."


    Her cold gaze stiffened Glenn''s body.


    "Of course, Prof. Murphy, I am not questioning your professionalism. It''s just that Mr. Ramsey could not


    fully recover with acupuncture alone, so we decided to go with a n that blends traditional and


    modern medicine. Acupuncture will only be used in the early stage to stimte his nerves and


    muscles, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the difficulty of surgery."


    Natalie''s words were ordered and clear.


    Everyone''s gaze fell on her.


    "Dr. Gentry''s n has been approved, and during the initialmunication, you did not have any


    objections. We nned to go through a consultation this morning and move into the diagnosis and


    treatment stage in the afternoon. Therefore, your sudden change of n will put all the previous


    preparations in vain."


    "I was out of concern for Mr. Ramsey," Glenn tried to exin.


    "I understand." Natalie followed his words, but with a forcible tone, "The n can be adjusted again,


    but Prof. Murphy, please be prepared. If there is no breakthrough within a month, we will adopt a new


    n. What do you think, Prof. Murphy?"


    Glenn was stunned.


    He couldn''t help but think, "Why doesn''t she look like a patient''s family at all? Why is she so calm and


    rational?"


    However, since Natalie, Kendrick''s wife, had said so, Glenn could only agree.


    Natalie looked around the several experts at the table and said in a forcible and indubitable tone, "Dr.


    Gentry will be in charge of the overall diagnosis and treatment n. He has the final say on all


    decisions and will be the only person tomunicate directly with Mr. Ramsey. As for the rest of you,


    just listen to him."


    Owen was also stunned.


    However, he felt Natalie''s infinite trust in him.


    Such trust doubled his confidence.


    Natalie asked again, "Do you have any questions?"


    No one raised any more questions.


    Kendrick looked at her and slightly pursed his lips, and his expression didn''t change.


    However, he sensed that she was partial to Owen.


    It was undisguised in his eyes.


    He thought, "Why does she trust him so much?


    But what she said was indeed true.


    We need to give Owen 100% trust and absolute dominance in decision-making to avoid subsequent


    contradictions.


    But why am I just feeling so ufortable?"


    Even so, Kendrick still unhurriedly said, "What Mrs. Ramsey said is what I mean."


    ...


    After the meeting, Owen stayed to discuss the afternoon''s diagnosis and treatment.


    Natalie talked with him for a long time.


    They went through all the details of the specific n and precautions.


    Kendrick remained silent on the side.


    In the end, Natalie finally remembered him and turned to ask him, "Honey, do you have any other


    questions?"


    Kendrick said, "No."


    "Then that''s all, Dr. Gentry. Would you like to have lunch with us?"


    Before Owen could reply, Kendrick suddenly said, "I have a video meeting at noon."


    Hearing that, Owen said, "Mr. Ramsey''s time is precious, so I''d better not disrupt you. I''ll go to prepare


    for the afternoon diagnosis and treatment now."


    After saying that, he immediately turned and left.


    Natalie nced at Owen''s back and then turned to look at Kendrick. "Since you have a video meeting


    Kendrick raised his face and pointed to his mobile phone. "The meeting was canceled just now."


    Natalie lost her words for a moment.


    Then she said, "Then I''ll order some food online. What would you like to eat?"


    "I have no appetite now," said Kendrick.


    Natalie was not stupid, and she naturally saw that something was wrong with Kendrick. She reached


    out and pushed him. "What''s wrong with you? Are you angry? Just because I talked to Owen for a


    while?"


    She was aggrieved. "Isn''t that for you?"


    Natalie bent over him and stared into his eyes. "Don''t you know who I am concerned about?"


    At that moment, Owen returned for the documents he had left behind. As he reached the door, he saw


    Natalie, who had been forcible, calm, and rational in the meeting, bending over the man in the


    wheelchair with a gentle expression and kissing him, as if to coax him.


    He froze in ce.


    The man in the wheelchair raised his eyes as if he had noticed him. He then sped the girl by the


    waist and held her in his arms. His eyes were filled with intense possessiveness.

 Chapter 83 Owens Embarrassment

    Chapter 83 Owen''s Embarrassment


    Kendrick''s thin lips touched hers.


    A vague sound came from his lips, and his warm breath fell upon her cheek.


    His ck eyes turned indescribably dark.


    Natalie was caught by his deep voice. She knelt with one leg between his knees, her hands resting on


    his shoulders for bnce.


    To look formal, she was wearing a white shirt paired with an ocean-blue one-step skirt today.


    Kendrick''s gaze fell upon her legs.


    Set against his straight ck suit pants, her legs under her skirt were slender and fair.


    She was extremely beautiful and sexy at the moment.


    Owen stood awkwardly at the door, wanting to leave.


    Suddenly, Kendrick reminded Natalie with a smile, "Dr. Gentry is here."


    Natalie looked back and saw Owen.


    She immediately put her legs down and stood straight.


    She was a bit embarrassed.


    Owen was also embarrassed, and he exined, "I''m back for the documents I left here."


    Natalie touched her sideburns and handed the documents on the table to Owen with both hands.


    Owen took them and was about to leave. At that moment, he suddenly heard Kendrick say, "Dr. Gentry,


    I have some questions for you."


    Owen was a little surprised, for Kendrick had not asked any questions just now.


    He politely said, "Please go ahead."


    Kendrick crossed his hands on his chest and pursed his lips. "Please sit down." He then turned to look


    at Natalie and said in a gentle voice, "Nat, order some food for Dr. Gentry as well."


    Natalie was a little surprised at this.


    She said, "Okay. Can I order a set meal?"


    "I''m okay with it," said Kendrick.


    "So am I." Owen sat there somewhat restlessly.


    Kendrick and Owen discussed several unclear details of the n for some time.


    Owen felt a little under pressure.


    However, as a capable doctor, he still withstood Kendrick''s tricky problems in his professional field.


    Unexpectedly, Kendrick suddenly asked, "Dr. Gentry, you have strong data analysis skills. Did you self-


    teach at your work?"


    Owen didn''t know what to say for a while.


    Natalie was also a little stunned.


    Owen could only say, "As a doctor, I have to deal with various types of data every day. In order to


    reduce my work pressure, I taught myself."


    Kendrick smiled lightly and said, "That must have taken you a lot of effort." He smiled again, pointed to


    the document at hand, and said, "But there are some problems with the data in this document."


    Natalie leaned over to take a look and then found that it was her negligence that had caused an error in


    the variance statistic, resulting in inurate significance testing.


    She couldn''t help but think, "I really didn''t expect Kendrick to see that.


    But I''m not very surprised, actually.


    After all, he majored in financial mathematics.


    What should I say now?"


    Owen forced a smile and said, "Then I''ll analyze it again."


    "Let''s correct it now. I''m here anyway," said Kendrick.


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "The problem is, Owen doesn''t know how to analyze data.


    This is the data I have processed using Python programming. I even stayed up that night to get it done.


    At that time, I was too sleepy and made a mistake."


    Thinking of this, Natalie hurriedly said, "Our food arrived. Let''s have lunch before that, okay? It''s more


    efficient to solve problems when we are full." She reached out and tugged at Kendrick''s sleeve. Then


    she bent down and whispered in his ear, "Honey, just spare him! If you continue like this, he''ll want to


    pack his luggage overnight and return to Cruxham."


    Perhaps Kendrick was pleased by the sweetness and softness of her voice.


    He made no further attempt to embarrass Owen.


    Natalie immediately trotted out to pick up the high-end Kettledolish set meal from the delivery guy.


    She felt that she was already sweating profusely.


    She thought to herself, "I prevaricated it over now, but what should I do to cover it up for Owenter?


    It''s all because Owen is too stupid. Why didn''t he say that he had someone do the data analysis?


    No, it''s mainly because Kendrick''s question was too tricky, so Owen couldn''t react for a moment and


    naturally fell into his trap."


    With that in mind, Natalie was not in much of a mood for lunch. She opened the package and put a


    piece of seaweed wrap in her mouth. Since her mind was upied, she even felt that the food was not


    delicious at all.


    Owen was also thinking about what he should do.


    Only Kendrick remainedposed.


    His gaze fell back on Natalie''s face, and he suddenly frowned.


    Natalie stared nkly straight ahead.


    Suddenly, a hand gently sped her chin.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Then she finally came back to her senses.


    Kendrick reached out his thumb and touched the corner of her lips, wiping the seaweed from her face.


    "Why are you in a daze while eating?" Kendrick asked in a voice that was almost audible to only the


    two of them, like a murmur between lovers.


    Natalie quickly stopped pondering and forced a smile. Her gaze fell on the newly opened soup, and she


    asked, "Do you want some soup?"


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and slightly nodded.


    After that, he didn''t move anymore. Natalie was stunned for a moment before she got his meaning. She


    reached for the bowl of soup, scooped up a spoonful, and held it to his lips.


    Kendrick slightly turned his face and said in a louder voice, "It''s a bit hot. Blow it for me."


    Owen naturally heard it.


    He said to himself in his heart, "I don''t know much about Kendrick.


    I have just heard from others that he''s gentle and restrained, and aftering into contact with him, I


    can see that he''s emotionally stable, rational, and mature.


    But after all, he is the fourth young master of the Ramsey family.


    And, he does look like a young master now.


    Look how finicky he is!"


    Owen silently swallowed the seaweed wrap in his mouth.


    He felt that he was extremely full.


    After hearing Kendrick''s words, Natalie couldn''t help but roast in her heart, "Isn''t that what I said to


    him? He learned it from me.


    And this soup has been left aside for a while, so it''s not hot at all.


    Fine!


    Perhaps Mr. Ramsey''s temperature perception is different from ours."


    Natalie could only withdraw her hand and slightly blow on the spoonful of soup before handing it back


    to his lips.


    After being fed by Natalie a few times, Kendrick was very satisfied and said, "I''ll do it myself. Just


    continue your lunch."


    After lunch, Natalie diligently packed the lunch boxes.


    Owen also helped her to tidy up.


    Seeing that on the side, Kendrick immediately closed the lid of the packaging box and said, "I''ve


    packed it up."


    Natalie was puzzled by his expression of waiting for praise.


    She turned her face and saw the oil stains on his hands. Then she quickly took out a piece of wet


    tissue and wiped the backs of his hands. "Just leave it to me."


    Owen pretended to be deaf.


    He just wanted to leave immediately.


    However, he was afraid that Kendrick would suddenly stop him and ask him various tricky questions.


    After clearing the table, Natalie turned to look at Kendrick and said, "Dr. Gentry should go and have a


    rest now. He has been in a meeting all morning and will be in charge of the diagnosis and treatment in


    the afternoon. We need to keep him energized."


    Kendrick did not speak.


    Natalie tugged at his sleeve. "I''m also sleepy. I want to rest on your shoulder for a while, can I?"


    She seemed calm, but in fact, she had almost lost all herposure.


    She couldn''t help but shout in her heart, "Is he really going to keep Owen here before Owen corrects


    the data for him? Does he have a grudge against Owen? That''s too mean!"


    Suddenly, Kendrick lifted his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "Please go and have a rest, Dr. Gentry.


    My wife is also sleepy. Please don''t let anyonee here."


    Owen felt relieved and said, "Okay, then I''ll go now. Please have a good rest."


    After Owen left, Natalie leaned against Kendrick''s shoulder and asked, "Do you want to take a nap?"


    "I want to deal with some documents."


    Kendrick was not sleepy.


    After all, he had been injected with amino acids for many years, so he was more energetic than


    ordinary people.


    After lying on his shoulder for a while, Natalie felt a little ufortable, for his shoulder was too hard


    for her to rest her face on.


    She straightened up and said, "I think I''d better lie on the table."


    In fact, lying on the table would numb her hands and leave countless sleep marks on her face.


    Kendrick reached out to her and said, "Come here!"


    Natalie was confused. "What?"


    Suddenly, Kendrick wrapped both hands around her waist. Natalie immediately fell onto hisp and


    was drawn into his arms.


    "Continue your sleep," he said softly.

    Chapter 84 Natalie''s Comfort


    Chapter 84 Natalie''s Comfort


    Natalie''s petite body leaned against Kendrick''s chest, and when she looked up, she could see his


    handsome side face and clear jawline.


    His mother was from Bannworth, so his silhouette blended the delicacy of the south.


    Kendrick''s eyes fell on the tablet in his hand, and he was now seriously making notes.


    Meanwhile, Natalie was looking at him intently.


    Her gaze fell from his chin to his Adam''s apple.


    That was apletely different appearance characteristic of a man from her.


    She thought for a moment and wanted to reach out and touch it.


    Suddenly, Kendrick looked over at her.


    She was afraid that he would suddenly ask her to get off him, so she hurriedly closed her eyes,


    pretending to be asleep.


    Kendrick smiled lightly, silently dealing with the documents.


    There was silence all around with no one disturbing.


    The autumn sun at noon shone in, bright and warm.


    Sometimes, life seemed too long, and sometimes, too short.


    When people finally figured out what they really wanted, time had passed.


    Natalie felt that she was lucky, for she had always had a clear goal.


    She slept in his arms, smelling the scent of cedar on his body, and suddenly had the idea of being like


    this for a lifetime.


    ...


    At 3 p. m.


    Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment began.


    Natalie was waiting outside.


    She said in her heart, "You wished me safety, and I pray for you to get better soon."


    A nurse took a piece of card paper from the front desk and gave it to her to fold a paper crane.


    Nurses in the diagnosis and treatment center rushed in and out.


    She used to be like them.


    Back then, she was often too busy to have time to eat.


    Even before she opened her eyes and entered this world, she had been relying heavily on glucose


    injections to maintain her physical strength for prolonged surgeries.


    She had saved many people and was thanked by many.


    She had umted good karma.


    Therefore, Natalie was sure that she would cure Kendrick.


    Suddenly, the mobile phone she had put aside rang.


    Natalie picked it up and saw that it was a call from Lamont.


    "Ms. Quinn, I have already contacted Maggie''s team, and themunication has been very smooth.


    Maggie is interested in this role and agreed to take it. Her team didn''t object either."


    Due to thest incident, Maggie was considering changing her team.


    She could tell that her team didn''t want to work for her anymore.


    Besides, Maggie''swsuit against Ste had be heated news online.


    After Maggie was heavily cursed by Ste''s fans, the situation suddenly reversed.


    The police issued a notice to arrest Ste.


    Although her full name wasn''t exposed, someone had already taken photos of her being taken away by


    the police in the early morning.


    In an instant, the tag "Ste''s Fans Should Apologize to Maggie" topped the hot search list.


    Lamont was overjoyed because it had brought great poprity to his unreleased TV drama.


    Compared to his excitement, Natalie was much calmer. "Finalize the contract with her. I won''t interfere


    with the subsequent filming."


    "Okay, please mind your business. I''llmunicate with Maggie. She''s been very poprtely. Some


    people are even guessing if she''s the daughter of the Ramsey family just because her surname is


    Ramsey," said Lamont whileughing.


    Apparently, he didn''t believe it.


    Then he added, "But who knows? What happened this time is quite strange. Maggie had just


    announced on Twitter that she wanted to deal with Ste, and the next day, Ste was taken away.


    That''s Ste Oliver, a film queen! I have never seen such a quick p in someone''s face."


    Natalie smiled and asked, "Why do you care about this so much?"


    "I have to. If she''s really from the Ramsey family, I must be polite to her. After all, no one in the Ramsey


    family is easy to mess with."


    Natalie folded the paper crane in her hand and said, "Then who do you think is the most powerful in the


    Ramsey family?"


    "Brett. He''s the most domineering in the entire Goldburg. Fortunately, he''s now in the military


    overseas," said Lamont.


    Natalie was silent for a moment and then said, "Mr. Stone, you''re wrong."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Lamont didn''t dare to offend his sponsor, so he quickly said, "Who do you think it is, Ms. Quinn? I''m all


    ears!"


    Hearing that, Natalieughed and said in her heart, "Of course Kendrick!


    Who can be as powerful as my husband?"


    Hearing herughter, Lamont instantly felt a chill. He desperately racked his brain to think about


    Natalie''s meaning. Then he asked, "If you''re talking about someone in the business world, it should be


    Kendrick, right?"


    "Be confident. It''s naturally him! Contact me if anything happens," said Natalie.


    Natalie hung up and continued folding the paper crane.


    Glenn would give Kendrick the first stage of acupuncture treatment today.


    Glenn had treated him many years ago.


    However, due to the limitations of the times and his ability, it didn''t work.


    Natalie waited until six o''clock.


    Finally, Owen pushed Kendrick out of the operation room.


    Owen walked over to her and stopped at a proper distance.


    Then he said, "Mr. Ramsey is very cooperative, and the diagnosis and treatment process is long and


    boring. Let''s do it together." Owen habitually reached out for a high-five as encouragement between the


    doctor and the patient.


    Natalie naturally didn''t want to embarrass him.


    However, she knew that if she high-fived Owen, Kendrick would probably trouble Owen again.


    Therefore, Natalie crouched down and took Kendrick''s hand.


    Kendrick didn''t move.


    He thought, "Does she want me to high-five Owen?


    How foolish it is!


    I will never do such a thing!"


    Natalie patted his hand and said, "Let''s give each other some encouragement and confidence!" She


    looked at him expectantly.


    Kendrick loosened his hand and was forced by her to high-five Owen reluctantly.


    "Come on, you can definitely get better!" Natalie said.


    "These are patches that can promote blood cirction." Owen handed Natalie a bag. "Apply a patch to


    each of his knees every night before going to bed."


    Natalie took it over and said, "Thank you."


    Owen reminded her of some more precautions, and Natalie nodded repeatedly.


    She seemed to be always smiling, unconsciously infecting others.


    Owen also smiled lightly. "Feel free to contact me if you need any help."


    ...


    Back at the Wonder Vi.


    Baron was the first to wee them and ask, "Mr. Ramsey, how are you doing? Do you feel any


    better?"


    He was surprised that Kendrick was suddenly willing to spend time on diagnosis and treatment again,


    but he quickly realized that it was because of Natalie.


    "It''s only the first day," said Kendrick.


    Baron hurriedly said, "You''re right. I am too impatient. I''ll wait patiently, and I believe there will be a


    good result."


    Now, under the guidance of Natalie''s words and deeds, everyone around Kendrick had be very


    good at praise and encouragement.


    "Baron, do not let his knees touch the water when you help him take a bath tonight," Natalie reminded.


    "Yes, Mrs. Ramsey."


    Natalie turned to Kendrick and said, "I''ll help you apply patches on your kneester. This kind of


    delicate work is a bit difficult for Baron, so I''ll do it."


    While speaking, she nced at Baron casually.


    Baron immediately said, "Yes, I''m getting older, and sometimes I can''t see clearly at night. Mrs.


    Ramsey, you''re always careful and considerate, so you''re the best one to do that."


    Hearing that, Kendrick couldn''t help but roast in his heart, "They are not trying to put a thread through


    the eye of a needle, okay?


    So, why do they need to see everything clearly?"


    Even though Kendrick didn''t agree with them, he had to listen to them.


    Natalie put away the patches given by Owen. Seeing that it was about time, she took two patches and


    knocked on Kendrick''s bedroom door.


    When she opened the door, she saw Kendrick leaning against the bed and lifting his legs with a


    cushion.


    Meanwhile, he was staring at the acupuncture marks on his knees.


    It seemed that he was thinking about something.


    Natalie walked over and sat down by his bed, her gaze falling on his legs.


    There was a long scar on his knee, which was left by the surgical sutures back then. It had been deeply


    imprinted on his skin as time had passed.


    Kendrick was a little awkward to let her see his wounds.


    He subconsciously wanted to put down his pants legs.


    Natalie stopped him.


    She slowly touched his knees with her fair fingers, leaned over under his gaze, and gently kissed the


    scar that had spanned his life for nearly twenty years.

 Chapter 85 Sleeping in Kendricks Arms

    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


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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.

 Chapter 86 Barons Suggestion

    Chapter 86 Baron''s Suggestion


    Chapter 86 Baron''s Suggestion


    The girl in his arms let out a whimper.


    A strand of hair fell on her lips, making her itchy.


    Kendrick raised his hand and gently put the hair behind her ear.


    Then he kissed her cheek close to her ear.


    He whispered, "It''s alright now. Continue to sleep."


    ...


    At 6 a. m., Kendrick''s rm clock rang on time.


    At the moment it rang, a hand reached over and turned it off.


    The world then returned to tranquility.


    At the same time, Baron wasing up from downstairs, ready to serve Kendrick.


    Just as he arrived at the door, he received a message.


    It was from Kendrick.


    [Kendrick: Wait a moment. Don''te in now.]


    Baron was puzzled and looked at the time. It was already six o''clock.


    Usually, Kendrick had already gotten up at this time.


    Therefore, Baron thought he was strange today.


    He went downstairs and saw Ashlynn. Then he said, "Prepare breakfastter. Mr. Ramsey hasn''t


    gotten up yet."


    Ashlynn looked at the time and asked, "Is Mr. Ramsey feeling unwell today?"


    Baron frowned and said, "Maybe because of the diagnosis and treatment yesterday, he''s a bit tired


    today. Let''s wait and see."


    Ashlynn continued her housework.


    When it was about eight o''clock, she asked in surprise, "It''s sote now. Why hasn''t Mr. Ramsey gotten


    up yet?"


    She thought, "It''s so strange!


    As a work machine, Mr. Ramsey has a schedule that is almost urate to every second.


    What''s going on today?


    Moreover, Mrs. Ramsey hasn''t gotten up as well."


    Usually, Natalie would get up and have breakfast before 8 o''clock.


    Even if she stayed upte the night before, she would still get up early in the morning. Otherwise, she


    would feel that the whole morning was wasted.


    Baron said, "I''ll go up and take a look again."


    ...


    Natalie opened her eyes around 7:50.


    She found something wrong.


    She was not in her own bedroom.


    After being stunned for a moment, she turned her face and bumped into a hard chest.


    She looked up.


    The next moment, she saw her husband''s handsome face.


    Then she finally remembered that yesterday she had wanted to hug Kendrick, who was feeling down,


    for a while longer.


    Unexpectedly, she fell asleep in his bed.


    Kendrick slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, who was stunned. Then he asked, "What''s


    wrong?"


    "What time is it now?"


    Kendrick reached for his mobile phone and then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "7:50."


    "What? Thatte?" Natalie panicked and said, "Did you sleep in today? Didn''t the rm clock ring? Is


    there a meeting this morning?"


    Hearing that, Kendrick couldn''t help but think, "What a touching good wife.


    Even though at such a moment, she still doesn''t forget to remind me of my work."


    Then he said, "No."


    Actually, there was a small meeting.


    It was not very important.


    Therefore, he postponed it to ten o''clock.


    Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door, and Baron''s voice rang out, "Mr. Ramsey, are you


    awake? Are you feeling unwell?"


    In fact, Kendrick had only slept in for less than two hours.


    However, it scared Baron so much that he even thought that Kendrick was not feeling well.


    In a moment, the door was pushed open from the inside.


    Natalie said with her face down, "Mr. Ramsey is awake. Just get in, Baron."


    After finishing speaking, she ran away.


    Baron revealed a surprised expression.


    He thought, "Did they sleep togetherst night?


    Very good."


    He controlled his expression and pushed the door in.


    Kendrick noticed that Baron was a little strange today, looking somewhat hesitant.


    He said, "Baron, if you have anything to say, just say it."


    "Do you want to consider moving to the host bedroom, Mr. Ramsey?"


    Kendrick was confused. "What?"


    "This room can be used as a baby room in the future," Baron kindly suggested.


    Kendrick was a bit speechless.


    He paused for a moment. He wanted to speak, but he didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    "What are you talking about?" Kendrick''s voice was slightly hoarse.


    "Having a baby is a matter of time. After all, if there is a first time, there will be a second time," said


    Baron seriously.


    Kendrick didn''t speak.


    After a long silence, he suddenly said, "She''s still too young."


    He continued in his heart, "She''s only twenty-two years old, although she''s way more intelligent and


    rational beyond her age.


    But she''s still too young.


    And, she said she had something big to do, which would surprise me.


    Therefore, I''m waiting.


    I want to watch her walk step by step towards her peak."


    ...


    Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment proceeded smoothly ording to the n.


    Natalie always apanied him personally.


    She would even bring pastries and delicious food to the medical staff.


    She strived to make every detail perfect.


    She even specially bought a cervical massage machine for Owen, which was the warmth that every


    doctor needed the most.


    Of course, before doing so, she consulted Kendrick''s opinion.


    Kendrick said, "Just do what you want to. I''m not an unreasonable man."


    He always thought he was very generous and rational.


    Owen was moved by her thoughtful gift,


    He had pushed aside all interviews and symposiums for Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment, devoting


    himself to it and strictly keeping it confidential ording to the agreement.


    He didn''t even tell his mother anything when being asked on the phone.


    Brynn asked, "You have a secret, but you don''t want me to know, do you?"


    Brynn was extremely intelligent, and she was also a genius girl in thest century. She had made great


    achievements in the field of gic and biological engineering, but at the age of 25, she resolutely


    went abroad and never entered Hamgrad again.


    "Yes, but I have signed a confidentiality agreement, so I cannot tell you anything about it. Please rest


    assured. It is definitely a good thing. It''s about saving someone''s life."


    "Owen, you are a genius. As the saying goes, there is only a narrow gap between a genius and a


    madman. I asked you to study medicine because I wanted you to save more people and put your


    talents in the right ce."


    "I have always kept that in mind. I will never do anything bad for any benefit."


    Brynn emphasized again, "You must remember your words."


    After hanging up, Owen organized Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment records into a document and e-


    mailed his senior.


    He sat in the chair and remembered something.


    He thought, "Mrs. Ramsey knows something about neuro-medicine.


    I''ve read her lengthy answer in the Q&Amunity of nearly 3,000 words, with a clear and


    professional logic, which is not at the level that ordinary master''s students can achieve.


    However, during these few diagnoses and treatments, she never admitted that she actually knew


    something about neuro-medicine. Instead, she always politely and gently said, ''Just listen to Dr. Gentry.


    He''s the most professional.''


    It''s like she has unlimited trust in me.


    What is she hiding?"


    Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door.


    "Dr. Gentry?" Natalie called out to him outside.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Owen hadn''t expected her toe to him.


    He sat up from his chair and asked, "Mrs. Ramsey, what can I do for you?"


    "I''m here for the blood test report and the imaging document."


    Owen handed her the documents, and when she turned around, he suddenly asked, "Excuse me, may


    I ask you a question?"


    Natalie turned around and said, "Please go ahead."


    Owen pursed his lips and said, "Last time we met, you said you were a student at Goldburg Medical


    University, right?"


    "I made it up to participate in the meeting."


    Owen was silent for a moment.


    Then he said, "But you are not unfamiliar with neuro-medicine. On the contrary, I have read your


    answers in this field, and I think they are quite knowledgeable and insightful. However, during these few


    diagnoses and treatments, you have been hiding your true talents..."


    Owen was always a straightforward man.


    When he had any questions, he would raise them directly.


    Natalie said in her heart, "In fact, I''m your respected senior."


    "About this, I..."


    Before she could say more, a nurse suddenly ran in and said, "Dr. Gentry, there''s something wrong


    with Mr. Ramsey. Pleasee with me and take a look!"

    Chapter 87 An Emergency


    "What''s going on?"


    Without hesitation, Owen immediately stood up and walked out.


    "Mr. Ramsey is already in aa apanied by allergic reactions."


    Kendrick came over today to receive a new drug injection diagnosis and treatment.


    Natalie followed up and asked, "What was he injected?"


    Her tone was so sharp that the nurse was stunned for a moment before answering, "ording to the


    n, we injected NGF into his muscles today!"


    NGF was a nerve growth factor.


    It was thetest drug that promoted nerve cell growth. Owen brought it back from Cruxham.


    "Besides NGF, is there anything else?"


    "No!" said the nurse with certainty.


    Natalie didn''t ask any more questions and ran all the way to the ward.


    Kendrick had fallen into aa.


    She quickly checked his breathing and said, "Get ready for CPR."


    Owen immediately came over to help with chestpressions.


    Three minutester, Kendrick''s heart returned to beating.


    Suddenly, someone said, "He still needs artificial respiration!"


    Natalie''s ears moved.


    "Let me do it!" she said.


    "Mrs. Ramsey, please calm down. Let Dr. Gentry..." The nurse''s anxious voice rang out.


    However, before she could finish speaking, Natalie had already ced her hand on Kendrick''s


    forehead and raised his chin with the other to keep it tilted back. She then took a deep breath and


    lowered her head to blow into his mouth.


    After seeing his chest rise, she turned his face to one side. After hearing his breathing, she finally


    released his chin.


    While doing all this, Natalie did not show any signs of panic.


    Her professionalism and seriousnesspletely stunned the nurse.


    "Inject adrenaline immediately, with a dose of 0.5mg each time and an interval of ten minutes!"


    No one moved.


    Natalie nced coldly at them.


    Owen ordered, "Just do it!"


    After the first injection of adrenaline, Kendrick regained some of his consciousness.


    Natalie carefully examined his body.


    The rash that had originally spread to his chest began to subside.


    His breathing became steady.


    His vital features were being restored gradually.


    She straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief, "It''s alright. Don''t worry."


    Looking at her, Owen suddenly felt that he was useless now.


    "It''s an allergy caused by excessive NGF injection. Reduce the dosage to 30ug from now on!" said


    Natalie.


    Owen exined, "During the clinical trials conducted in Cruxham, 40ug is a safe dose range."


    "I know," Natalie said, "but this drug has not been clinically tested in Hamgrad, so reducing it to 30ug is


    safer. Remember to change the injection sites to avoid affecting absorption! No medication is allowed 6


    hours before injection!"


    Owen said, "Got it!"


    After speaking, the two looked up at each other.


    They both felt a little weird.


    Natalie coughed lightly and said, "He will wake up soon."


    NGF was a new drug.


    The sample size for clinical trials was notrge enough.


    Kendrick''s immune system overreacted to it.


    As a result, he encountered an allergic shock.


    Fortunately, he was alright now.


    Natalie bent down to grasp Kendrick''s hand tightly and whispered, "It''s okay now."


    Then she said in her heart, "I am here.


    It won''t put you in any danger."


    Natalie turned around and said to the nurse, "Let me know if he wakes up! I will personally exin this


    matter to Mr. Ramsey. You don''t need to say too much. I don''t want any unnecessary


    misunderstandings."


    She went out and turned left to wash her face in the toilet.


    Her body had been soaked in sweat.


    Even her hair had been wet with sweat.


    Natalie looked up and saw her pale face in the mirror.


    She had been very nervous just now.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    The fear and worry that spread from the bottom of her heart couldn''t be avoided, but she forcefully


    covered it with calmness.


    Natalie came out after washing her face and met Owen outside the ward.


    He said, "Mr. Ramsey is alright now. He is expected to wake up in twenty minutes."


    Owen frowned slightly, and his eyes fixed on her face.


    Natalie smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"


    Owen realized his impoliteness and withdrew his gaze. He coughed slightly and asked, "Can we have


    a talk somewhere else?"


    ...


    The two of them sat down on a sofa in the hall to rest.


    Owen bought two bottles of water and handed her one. "Have some water."


    Natalie didn''t refuse it.


    She unscrewed the cap and drank more than half of the bottle of water in one gulp.


    Owen''s lips moved, and he had too much to ask.


    Seeing that, Natalieforted, "Kendrick has undergone anti-allergic testing before, and NGF is safe.


    So, the only reason for this is an overdose, unless the nurse deceived me and injected him with other


    drugs. I don''t think she would dare to do that.


    "A dose of 40ug is safe for ordinary people, but Kendrick has special physical conditions. Or maybe his


    immune system overreacted to new drugs due to years of drug injections.


    "You don''t have to me yourself too much. Just follow your n. I will exin this to him."


    Owen had contact with many family members of patients.


    When encountering critical situations, they were always panicked and irrational, unable to even listen to


    the doctors. They might even get very excited and hurt the doctors.


    To his surprise, Natalie, who was so young, had a calm and fearless attitude that was not in line with


    her age.


    The professionalism and experience she had just demonstrated even surpassed most doctors.


    Owen couldn''t help but ask, "Excuse me, have you ever been on the clinical front line?"


    Natalie smiled.


    In fact, she had always been on the clinical front line in herst life.


    "You are very professional and calm, with excellent professionalism as a medical staff member, but you


    have been deliberately concealing it. You don''t want Mr. Ramsey to know about this, right?" asked


    Owen tentatively.


    "Everyone has secrets." Natalie said, "Will you keep it a secret for me, Dr. Gentry? Or are you going to


    tell Mr. Ramsey the truth?"


    "If Mr. Ramsey knows that his wife has saved his life, he''ll be very moved."


    Although Owen had been shown PDA by them many times, out of concern, he still wanted to remind


    Natalie.


    Natalie lowered her eyes and smiled lightly.


    "You''re right, but I never told him I''m a medical professional."


    Natalie suddenly admitted.


    Owen was stunned.


    "There are even no traces rted to medicine in my life. In fact, my major in university was literature


    and art appreciation. I dropped out of my sophomore year and barely obtained a certificate of


    As Owen listened to her, his expression remained surprised.


    "May I ask how you obtained your medical expertise?"


    "By self-teaching."


    Owen didn''t quite believe it.


    After all, even top medical professionals like him had undergoneplete and scientific professional


    knowledge education.


    His medical expertise was obtained through countless nights of experiments and studying.


    "See? You don''t believe it, and Mr. Ramsey naturally won''t believe it either. It''splicated to exin.


    Besides, what if he can''t ept it and divorces me after knowing my secrets?"


    Owen was stunned again.


    After a while, he nodded. "I see."


    He had no hobby of undermining the happiness of others.


    Therefore, he decided to keep it a secret for Natalie.


    Seeing that it was about time, Natalie stood up and said, "I should go see him now. Thank you, Dr.


    Gentry."


    Owen said, "That''s what I should do. Thank you for your understanding."


    He thought, "She bought me a cervical massage machine.


    Besides, in an emergency, she chose tofort me and ask me not to me myself.


    She really has strong empathy.


    Perhaps that''s because we''re both doctors."


    Natalie returned to the ward, and Kendrick had just woken up and opened his eyes.


    At first nce, he saw her face.


    His fingers moved.


    Then he was held by a soft hand.

 Chapter 88 Breathing While Kissing

    Chapter 88 Breathing WhileKissing


    Chapter 88 Breathing While Kissing


    "Are you awake? Would you like some water?"


    Hearing the soft female voice, Kendrick suddenly felt relieved.


    Natalie put a ss of warm water in front of his lips and carefully fed him.


    He just had an adrenaline shot, so his face and lips were bloodless.


    Seeing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Natalie lovingly wiped them off.


    She knew the treatment would not go on without a hitch. All sorts of contingencies were bound to arise.


    She and Kendrick must stay strong.


    "It''s an allergy caused by drug overdose." Natalie gently exined, "It is the most advanced drug that


    had not been poprized in our country, so weck samples for clinical trials."


    "I''m fine."


    Kendrick did not want her to worry, so he slightly smiled, "It''s not the first time I have had an allergy."


    He had received treatment for years and had encountered more serious dangers before.


    Therefore, he was calm and would not me his doctors or nurses. They were dutifully taking care of


    him. He knew their difficulties and hardships, and he was always tolerant toward them.


    After resting for a while, he felt better. So, he propped himself up, sat up, and said, "Natalie, please


    send some fruits and flowers to the doctors and nursester. I want to thank them."


    Natalie hurriedly nodded, "No problem. You can count on me."


    His care and tolerance for the doctors and nurses deeply moved her. There were many kind people in


    the world. But few people in adversity could still care for others.


    He always made her want to cry and love him more.


    Seeing no doctors or nurses around, Natalie leaned over, kissed him on the face, and said, "You are


    the best man I¡¯ve ever met."


    After three knocks on the door, Owen came in with a medical record book and briefly described


    Kendrick¡¯s current condition.


    Because he had undergone CPR and artificial respiration treatment, he would be hospitalized for


    observation.


    Kendrick was drinking water. Hearing artificial respiration, he abruptly raised his head.


    Natalie exined, "Your condition was dangerous, so Dr. Gentry gave you artificial respiration


    treatment."


    Both Owen and Kendrick were stunned.


    Kendrick almost choked. Slowly putting down the ss, he showed aplicated expression.


    The corner of Owen''s lips twitched. But he had promised to keep the secret. Moreover, it was saving


    Kendrick¡¯s life. So, he kept silent. However, Kendrick gave him an unfriendly stare.


    Seeing this, Natalie couldn''t helpughing, "I was joking."


    She leaned over and whispered in Kendrick¡¯s ear, "I did it."


    She blinked and added, "I told you I have taken first-aid courses."


    Kendrick picked up his ss and took a sip of water, feeling as if riding a roller coaster.


    While slowly drinking, he suddenly asked, "Is it the first time you have conducted artificial respiration?"


    Was he jealous?


    Natalie immediately exined, "We used dummied in ss, and you are the first real person."


    Kendrick hoped she was telling the truth.


    Owen had not left. He coughed and told them the dos and don¡¯ts. After asking Kendrick to have a good


    rest, he walked out of the room, eager for fresh air.


    As soon as he left, Kendrick reached out to pinch Natalie''s earlobe and twitched it slightly. Then, he


    narrowed his eyes and asked, "Now you dare to lie to me, don''t you?"


    The little liar was getting too presumptuous now. He had not expected her to dare to tell such a lie.


    Natalie gasped in pain and begged him for mercy, saying, "I was just joking!"


    Her earlobe was small and delicate, so he couldn''t help rubbing it with his thumb.


    Her ears instantly burned and flushed.


    Soon, she heard him chuckle as if teasing her for her shyness.


    "Why are your ears so red?" Kendrick knowingly asked.


    She had yed a trick on him, so he must ¡°retaliate¡±.


    Hearing this, Natalie was annoyed and felt shy, thinking he was much too talkative today.


    No! She must not let him win. At the thought of this, she suddenly turned to look at him and asked,


    "You asked me if it is the first time I have conducted artificial respiration."


    Kendrick looked up at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.


    Soon, she leaned over, kissed his lips, and exhaled into his mouth. Then, she naughtily said in a soft


    voice, "It''s the second time now."


    When she put her hands on his sides and kissed him from above, the astonishment in his eyes slowly


    turned into a gentle smile.


    And his eyes were twinkling with deep affection.


    After the long kiss, Natalie proudly said, "Last time, you said I couldn''t breathe while kissing. But I can


    do it now."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    It was like artificial respiration.


    No! She should not have thought so. It was not romantic at all.


    When Kendrick leaned back on the bedhead, his handsome face became much ruddier. And even the


    corners of his eyes were slightly red.


    Looking into his gentle ck eyes, she felt as if sinking into them. So, she unconsciously bit and licked


    the lips he had kissed. When Kendrick saw this, his eyes darkened.


    "I''m going to buy fruits and flowers now. The shops nearby will close soon."


    She looked at her watch and pulled her senses back, reminding herself that she still had important


    things to do.


    Before leaving, she kissed him again and said, "Have a good rest."


    --


    Natalie bought a lot of fresh fruits andrge bouquets for the medical staff and told them it was Mr.


    Ramsey that wanted to thank them. But because of his health condition, he could not do it in person.


    The doctors and nurses liked her very much because she was pretty, gentle, decent, and sweet-


    mouthed.


    Several nurses hugged her and said they believed Mr. Ramsey would recover.


    Natalie had prepared a big bag of fruit for Owen. She had troubled him a lot. Fortunately, he was a kind


    person.


    When she knocked on the door and entered his office, he had just hung up the phone.


    She put the fruit on his desk and said, "Dr. Gentry, thank you for your hard work. I bought you some


    fruit."


    Owen frowned and thanked her with a gloomy face.


    Natalie hurriedly asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Prof. Murphy called me and said his hand was seriously injured. He can¡¯t continue the acupuncture


    treatment!"


    "What kind of injury? Trauma or fracture?"


    "Fracture. He will need at least three months to recover."


    Three months were too long!


    The treatment had already started. The interruption would inevitably affect the effect.


    Natalie frowned and felt suspicious.


    So, she asked in confusion, "Is he injured? Maybe he changed his mind and used this excuse to


    withdraw. Last time, I refuted his words and made him lose face. Is he angry with me?"


    Owen said, "He might have other thoughts, but he values his reputation very much. He is my teacher,


    so I know him well. He told me he was confident and would try his best the day before yesterday. I don''t


    think he would quit on his initiative."


    Natalie rubbed her chin, thinking the timing was too coincidental.


    "No matter if he is injured or just wanted to quit, it''s not a good thing."


    She then calmly asked, "Do you have any alternative candidates? Can you rece Prof. Murphy?"


    Owen frowned because he was not confident in his acupuncture skills.


    But a candidate suddenly popped up in his mind.


    However, it seemed somewhat impossible.

 Chapter 89 Pigtail

    Chapter 89 Pigtail


    Chapter 89 Pigtail


    Owen thought carefully but could not rmend a suitable candidate to Natalie.


    He said, "Prof. Murphy is the best Hamgrad acupuncture doctor. So, his withdrawal will have a great


    influence on others."


    He didn''t say anything more but stared at her. However, she instantly got what he meant.


    If the cleverest student in a ss said a math problem was so difficult that he could not work it out. His


    ssmates would suspect whether they could solve it. Moreover, even if they solved it, they would


    offend people.


    "Do you have his address?" Natalie asked.


    She wanted to see whether he was injured with her own eyes.


    Seeing her murderous look, Owen hesitated to speak.


    Natalie coughed and said, "I just want to visit the patient."


    Owen did not buy her story, so she continued, "The treatment has started. It must not be suspended.


    Dr. Gentry, it is time for you to save the situation!"


    Owen felt stressed.


    He considered for a while and slowly said, "Actually, I have a candidate in my mind."


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who?"


    Owen roughly said he knew a doctor named Mr. Q who was quite aplished in acupuncture and


    treatment n.


    But he didn''t reveal much personal information because Mr. Q was unwilling to let others know.


    Natalie was speechless.


    "He has always cared about Mr. Ramsey''s condition but cannot take up the treatment in person for


    personal reasons."


    Owen frowned and said in admiration, "Although I have only exchanged emails with him, I am sure his


    medical skills are higher than mine."


    Natalie remained silent.


    "If hees, the treatment will go on more smoothly."


    She thanked him forplimenting her in her heart and asked, "Have you asked him about it?"


    Owen honestly answered, "If I ask him questions unrted to medicine, he will get angry."


    Natalie thought she had never gotten angry with him. But sometimes, he was indeed a little annoying.


    She stood in ce and touched her chin while thinking.


    After Glenn quit, they could not find a more suitable candidate now. Owen was not proficient in


    acupuncture. So, it was inappropriate to let him do it.


    Had fate chosen her?


    Natalie lightly sighed. She had nned to control the direction of the pre-adjuvant treatment and


    perform only the spinal surgery on Kendrick.


    But now...


    "What kind of person is Mr. Q? Do you know him well?" Natalie asked.


    Owen replied, "His medical skills were high, but it''s hard tomunicate with him. I''m not sure if I can


    persuade him in."


    She nodded, "I see."


    He asked, "Will you exin it to Mr. Ramsey?"


    She shook her head, "I won''t tell him about it until you confirm it."


    He nodded, "OK."


    --


    When Natalie walked back to the ward, her footsteps became heavier. She showed a gloomy face and


    curled her lips downward.


    But when pushing open the door, she put on a smile because smiles could heal people.


    "I bought a lot of fruits and distributed them to the doctors and nurses. They are happy."


    Natalie put the fruit on the coffee table and said, "I will peel an apple for you."


    Kendrick was watching TV on the hospital bed when he said, "Thank you."


    Natalie never let go of any chance to act coquettishly, so she moved her hand in front of his eyes and


    said, "Look! The bag was too heavy, so it left a red mark on my hand."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Kendrick held her hand and lightly rubbed it with his thumb, making her feel slightly itchy in her palm.


    Then, he softly asked, "Are you feeling better?"


    "Yeah." She smiled, "Continue watching TV. I''ll peel an apple."


    If he continued rubbing her hand, she might not have the strength to peel the apple anymore.


    It was evening news time.


    While peeling the apple, she watched the news with him.


    On the screen, Rnd, the President of Hamgrad, was attending a summit.


    Natalie noticed he had a bad cervical spine at a nce. Anyway, most middle-aged men had bad


    cervical spines.


    However, the president was well-maintained. He was tall, vigorous, and imposing, looking handsome.


    When he shook hands with a man, she saw his hand in close-up. There were calluses between his


    thumb and index finger, so she guessed he had often used guns when he had been young. His left


    shoulder seemed injured because he had subconsciously protected it with a frown.


    When Kendrick looked over, he saw her peeling an apple while watching TV. And the peeled skin did


    not break off.


    Why was she staring at Rnd?


    He lightly coughed and asked, "Is President Williamson handsome?"


    Natalie looked away from the TV and said, "Just so-so. He is not as handsome as you!"


    She handed the apple to him and said, "Here you are!"


    The apple was too big, so Kendrick didn''t want to nibble at it.


    Natalie frowned, "What''s wrong?"


    She suddenly realized what he meant and asked, "Do you want me to cut it into pieces?"


    Seeing him nod, she angrily said, "You are going too far! Can''t you eat it like this?"


    He replied, "But I always eat apples in small pieces."


    Natalie knew he was pampered. The temperature of his drinking water was always 40 degrees. And his


    house was with constant temperature and humidity all year round.


    So, she cut the apple into small pieces for him.


    But when he forked a piece to feed her, she praised him for being caring at heart again.


    On the TV screen, the president was ying a game with elementary school students on campus, and


    the atmosphere looked enjoyable.


    Seeing the gentle and benevolent look in his eyes, Natalie couldn''t help saying, "He seems to like


    children very much."


    Kendrick harshlymented, "He is an unmarried middle-aged politician who has no children. So, he


    can only use such a method to win people''s favor and trust."


    Natalie found it hard to refute his words.


    She decided to stop talking because she had always said the wrong words today.


    --


    Kendrick was hospitalized, so Baron came with his clean clothes in the evening and helped him take a


    shower.


    Natalie couldn''t help them because the bathroom in the hospital was too small for three people.


    But she offered to help him wash his face.


    Kendrick had been busy recently and had no time to have a haircut, so the hair over his forehead had


    blocked his sight.


    When Natalie was about to use the facial cleanser, she was afraid the foam would get on his hair. So,


    she wiped the water off her hands, took out a ck hair tie, and said, "I''ll tie the hair over your forehead


    up. Otherwise, it would get stained with foam."


    Kendrick was stunned and said, "I can wash my face by myself."


    He did not want to tie his hair.


    Natalie said, "It will get stained with foam even if you wash your face by yourself."


    The hair over his forehead was long. If it got wet, she would have to dry itter.


    So, she leaned over and said, "I''ll quickly tie it up. It will take a few seconds."


    Kendrick refused because he was a man. How could a man wear a pigtail?


    Natalie imagined the picture and suddenly began to look forward to it.


    She coaxed, "Don''t worry! No one else will see it. We''re alone here now."


    Kendrick said in a deep voice, "Don''t be naughty."


    As soon as he finished speaking, she aggrievedly pouted.

    Natalieined, "You''re yelling at me!"


    "I am not." He just increased his voice a little.


    It might be that his tone was a little serious.


    She shouldn''t look so aggrieved.


    "But you are!"


    "..."


    "Today, I ran from Area A to Area B with theboratory report for you and carried fruit from the first floor


    to the 20th floor. I peeled apples for you, and you even forced me to cut them into small pieces."


    Her hand was supposed to hold a scalpel.


    Natalie looked very aggrieved, "You wouldn''t even let me braid your hair."


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Kendrick felt speechless.


    "Okay." He interrupted her, "Go and lock the door."


    "It''s locked." Natalie smirked, "I locked it after Baron left."


    She stretched out her hand to tie his bangs into a braid and flicked it to make it sway from side to side.


    Staring at her husband''s face, she sighed secretly.


    It was a wlessly handsome face.


    Exposing his forehead did not affect his good looks in the slightest.


    He was handsome as always.


    Natalie washed his face gently and meticulously and cleaned him up bit by bit with a towel.


    She had never been so patient with herself.


    After washing his face, Natalie brought a mirror to him.


    His face darkened instantly.


    "You''re handsome." Natalie smiled, "You''re handsome no matter what."


    Kendrick ignored her, tearing off the rubber band nkly.


    It was outrageous!


    --


    Kendrick was still under observation.


    Nurses woulde in every once in a while during the night to check on his situation.


    So he told Natalie to go back to sleep.


    Of course, she refused.


    "You suddenly went into shock today, and it scared me." Natalie said, "I have to stay with you until you


    leave the hospital."


    She always had a lot of reasons.


    And they were irresistible.


    "I''ll go wash up." Natalie put her phone on the coffee table aside and said, "I''ll remind you to take your


    medicer."


    Kendrick continued to use the tablet to read the document and make annotations.


    Now Ramsey Group''s financial business was temporarily controlled by Kendrick.


    When Melvin came back, Kendrick would give him a big gift.


    His phone at hand suddenly rang.


    Kendrick nced at the caller ID. It was Seth.


    He picked it up.


    "Where are you now?"


    "I''m in the hospital." Kendrick said in a respectful tone, "Grandpa, please go ahead and tell me if you


    have anything to say."


    "How did you end up in the hospital?" Seth frowned.


    "Regr nerve injections," Kendrick replied.


    Kendrick had beening to the hospital regrly for injections for many years.


    Seth didn''t suspect anything, and said, "I''ve already confirmed that your Melvin''s men are in Weirburg.


    You go to talk to the media, and don''t reveal anything about this matter."


    "I see."


    "What happenedst time has nothing to do with you." Seth said, "Edgar has found out."


    It had been revealed by Nancy.


    His children were all trouble-makers.


    Kendrick took the opportunity and exined, "It''s good to find it out, Grandpa. Please believe that I


    have always put the interests of the Ramsey family first."


    Seth sighed, "I believe in you. You did a good job this time."


    He had told Seth Melvin''s whereabouts in time.


    Kendrick reported on his recent work and told Seth that the financial business was running smoothly


    and Melvin could take it over when he came back.


    Seth was stunned, "You are going to give it to him?"


    Kendrick smiled lightly, and said in a tone of nonpetition, "I''m really busy. And my body hurts


    obviously in autumn."


    Hearing what he said, Seth could only say, "Let''s talk about it when Melvines back. Take a good


    rest and wear more clothes. Young people like to wear less to look chic. Don''t do that for your health.


    Put on long johns."


    An hour had passed before Kendrick hung up the phone.


    He pursed his lips and looked cold.


    The finance business must be returned to Melvin.


    Otherwise, when the financial business capital chain was broken, who would take the me?


    He leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes, thinking.


    The phone rang. It was Natalie''s phone, not his.


    Natalie just came out of the bathroom right now. Her pajamas hung loose on her.


    Then she heard the email alert she had set up.


    She looked up. It seemed he was going to pick up her phone on the coffee table.


    No! The thought popped into her head, and Natalie ran over immediately.


    Kendrick had already picked up the phone.


    He hadn''t seen it yet when she jumped into his arms and reached for the phone.


    Kendrick frowned. Is there anything he can''t see?


    But she jumped too fast. Her upper body was pressed on his left hand. Even his hand felt the softness


    of her breasts.


    Natalie felt something was wrong.


    She looked down. His hand was visibly pressed against her chest.


    She immediately got up to get her phone.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows, "Why are you nervous?"


    "I''m not. I have to ce an order at zero o''clock. If it''ste, I won''t be able to get it." She straightened


    up, but she didn''t realize that her clothes were unbuttoned, and arge piece of her skin was exposed.


    Kendrick returned the phone to her with a slight sideways face.


    Natalie took the phone and looked at it, wondering if he had seen anything.


    "Fasten your buttons," he said suddenly.


    Natalie looked down and hastily adjusted her clothes.


    When she came out of the shower just now, she didn''t wear anything inside.


    She buttoned it up, deleted the email notification, and clicked into the shopping app, only to find that


    the product had been removed from the shelves.


    It was toote.


    Kendrick looked at her expression and asked, "Didn''t you get it?"


    "No, I was too slow. It''s been sold out."


    Kendrick leaned over to take a look.


    Well, it was a limitedmemorative edition phone case and action figure for couples.


    He sighed, "Just let the merchant put it on the shelves again."


    Natalie said nothing.


    Before she came to her sense, he said again, "Forward the link to me."


    Natalie obediently forwarded the link to him.


    Ten minutester, Natalie got a message alert, "Dear customer, the product you fancy has been put


    back on the shelves."


    What? She didn''t know how to describe her feelings at the moment.


    After cing the order, Natalie touched her ear and said, "I''ve bought it."


    After a while, she looked again, and the product had been taken off the shelves again.


    "Honey!" Her voice sounded so light and unreal.


    "What?"


    "You''ve always made me feel like I''m living in a dream. I''m afraid that one day I''ll wake up and find that


    it''s just a dream, but I don''t have anything."


    For him, it was just such an easy thing to do. He didn''t think she should be so emotional.


    Natalie reached out and hugged him, buried her face in his chest, and took a deep breath, "Tell me I''m


    not dreaming."


    Kendrick pinched her face and said calmly, "No, you''re not dreaming."


    Natalie caressed her face and pinched it too. It was real.


    She wasn''t dreaming. She did travel to another parallel world and became the wife of the man she had


    loved most.


    "I''m going to the bathroom." Natalie straightened up.


    After she closed the door, she turned on her phone and saw an email from Owen.


    As expected, he had invited her toe and treat Kendrick.


    Natalie took a deep breath.


    She was a little excited when she was typing, "Okay. We will discuss the details when we meet."

 Chapter 91 He Was Lectured by Her

    Chapter 91He Was Lectured byHer


    Chapter 91 He Was Lectured by Her


    Natalie and Owen made an appointment to meet at the Neurological Medical Center.


    Such an important meeting shouldn''t be conducted in a small cafe.


    When Owen arrived, Natalie was already sitting on the first floor of the center waiting for him.


    He was surprised. Is Mrs. Ramseying to get the test report again today?


    "Mr. Ramsey''sboratory report has beenpiled into an electronic file. You don''t need toe here


    in person." Owen said politely.


    Natalie looked up at him, and stretched out her hand, "Sit down, please. I ordered a ss of lemonade


    for you."


    They would never drink coffee unless they stayed upte to publish articles.


    Owen sat down.


    He thought she had some questions. But Natalie didn''t speak for a long while.


    Owen nced at the time and sounded very apologetic, "Mrs. Ramsey, I have an appointment with


    someone today. Excuse me. If you have any questions about Mr. Ramsey''s diagnosis and treatment, I


    will answer some of them now."


    Natalie sipped her lemonade through a straw.


    She looked up and said to him, "Didn''t you ask me to meet?"


    Owen looked confused.


    He didn''t ask her out. Was his assistant''s schedule wrong?


    Owen looked down at the phone schedule. There was a new email in the mailbox, "I''m right across


    from you."


    Owen raised his face and looked to the opposite side. There was no one!


    He looked down at the phone to make sure it was Mr. Q''s message.


    But there was only Natalie on the opposite side.


    He looked up again and his expression changed instantly.


    He suddenly realized something and froze in ce.


    No way!


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Natalie shrugged and said, "Are you very surprised to see Mr. Q?"


    Owen was stunned.


    His eyes widened in disbelief.


    "It''s me." Natalie said, "Mr. Q you have been emailing."


    Owen waspletely stunned. He took a sip of the lemonade in front of him, and finally rxed after


    putting it down, "Mrs. Ramsey, it''s you?"


    He paused for a long time, "Have you been joking with me all this time?"


    "No." Natalie said sternly, "As you know, I couldn''te forward for some reason. I originally thought


    that you would perform the early-stage adjuvant treatment and I would only need toplete the mid-


    term spinal cord surgery. But now the situation has changed. ."


    Natalie handed the diagnosis and treatment records to Owen and said, "The results show that his


    nerve cells are showing signs of rejuvenation. The diagnosis and treatment must not be interrupted. I


    will participate in the early and mid-term. You can cooperate with me at ease."


    Her tone was familiar and aggressive.


    It was indeed Mr. Q!


    Owen took another sip of lemonade and almost choked himself.


    It took him a full twenty minutes to calm himself down.


    "So, what do you need me to do?"


    "Tell Kendrick that Prof. Murphy quits, and you will do the needlester."


    Owen was surprised.


    "This is just an excuse." Natalie said, "I will personally do acupuncture for him."


    Owen was stunned.


    At this moment, he felt like being on a roller coaster and he couldn''t describe his feelings.


    It took him a while to hear his voice, "Well, you''re going to hide it from Mr. Ramsey?"


    Natalie was silent.


    "I still don''t understand." Owen''s voice was softer.


    It was a non-professional question. He would probably be scolded if he asked.


    But Natalie looked solemn. Maybe she didn''t think herself.


    "Maybe we can only hide it for a while." Owen calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Ramsey...has been


    checking my background."


    Natalie looked up, stunned.


    "I think thest data analysis probably aroused his suspicion. He is a cautious person." Owen said, "I


    can stand the investigation and there is no falsehood. I have recently started to learn statistical analysis


    by myself."


    Awesome! Natalie was impressed by Owen.


    "I''m just reminding you that Mr. Ramsey may eventually find out." Owen said, "Besides, do you want to


    be the daughter of the sea?"


    In the fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", the little mermaid rescues the prince, but the prince


    mistakenly thinks that the princess of the neighboring country has saved him.


    Natalie had a subtle expression, and she joked, "Then you are the princess?"


    Owen looked speechless, "I don''t think so."


    Natalie pursed her lips, "Now is not the time. I will make it clear to him after the surgery ispleted


    and he regains his ability to move."


    It was too early now. He wasn''t prepared for it.


    Firstly, she didn''t want to be sent to a mental hospital. Secondly, she didn''t want to be arrested by


    those from the Institute of Quantum Physics for research. Thirdly, she didn''t want to affect his emotions


    if the operation didn''t seed.


    "We have a long-term cooperative rtionship. So let me make it clear first. If I start acting emotionally


    during the treatment, please stop me!" Natalie said earnestly.


    She didn''t want to get involved too early because she was afraid that her feelings for Kendrick would


    affect the oue.


    She was not rational all the time. Yesterday when he went into aa, she forcibly suppressed her


    anger and did not re up.


    Owen nodded in agreement


    At this moment, he had iparable confidence. He was going to climb to the top of medicine with his


    colleague Mr. Q!


    Natalie stood up, "By the way, the experimental steps in the paper you publishedst year can be


    further optimized so that the recovery time of the mice will be shorter and the pain will be reduced. I will


    teach you the details."


    Owen said, "Please enlighten me!"


    --


    Kendrick soon learned that Prof. Murphy had quit and that Owen would rece him.


    He looked unhappy, "Dr. Gentry is good at neurosurgery. When did he learn acupuncture? He said in


    thest meeting that he is just proficient in theory."


    Natalie said with a calm face, "Dr. Gentry is a student of Prof. Murphy, so it''s not surprising that he


    knows some acupuncture skills. I think he was just being humble in front of his teacher."


    Kendrick turned to look at her.


    Natalie looked at him too.


    She didn''t back down. No matter how you look at me, this was what I said.


    Kendrick and she looked at each other. Then he looked away, and asked again, "Why am I going to be


    blindfolded?"


    "Look, it''s written here." Natalie pointed to the updated n and said, "It is to prevent intuitive contact


    from affecting your mentality. It is a kind of humanistic care."


    "I''m not that vulnerable!" Kendrick said confidently, "This reason is not valid."


    It couldn''t convince him.


    Natalie squinted. Why does he have so many questions? Is he a doctor?


    "The doctor said so. You should just follow it!" Natalie persuaded patiently.


    "Doctors aren''t always right, and I''m justified in debating."


    Kendrick was not easy to fool.


    Natalie took a deep breath. She was pissed off!


    "If Dr. Gentry can''t give a reasonable exnation, I can''t follow it," Kendrick said coldly.


    "Why do you have so many questions?" Natalie was a little anxious, "The doctor said that he was doing


    it out of humanistic considerations. Facing one''s scars is a painful thing in itself. No matter how strong


    and brave a person is, his mood will change after facing it many times. Why don''t you just listen to the


    doctor?"


    After she finished it in one breath, she stopped to catch her breath.


    Kendrick froze.


    He realized that he had been reprimanded by her.


    He was lectured by her!

 Chapter 92 He Was Kissing and Comforting Her

    Chapter 92 He Was Kissing and ComfortingHer


    Chapter 92 He Was Kissing and Comforting Her


    Kendrick froze.


    He was silent for a long time.


    Other than Seth, very few people would speak to him in that tone. Not even Seth would talk to him like


    that.


    Due to his impable performance, Seth would just subtly warn him about something.


    So this was the first time he had been lectured like this in so many years!


    It was just... something new.


    "I''m not disobeying the doctor." Kendrick pursed his lips, looking rather aggrieved, "I just have some


    doubts."


    After being silent for a while, he said again, "You are right. I won''t ask more questions."


    Natalie looked down and secretly sighed.


    How could there be such a gentleman like him?


    She felt that her tone just now was too harsh. She shouldn''t have been so fierce.


    Natalie leaned over, reached out, and touched his face. Her eyes were clear and apologetic, and her


    voice was a little softer, "I''m sorry. I was a little harsh just now. I didn''t mean to me you."


    Kendrick said, "I thought you were mad."


    Natalie shook her head, "No."


    He raised his eyebrows as if he didn''t believe it, "Really?"


    "Really! "Natalie whispered in a soft tone.


    He just stared at her.


    After a while, Kendrick stretched out his hand, pinched her slender chin with his thumb and forefinger,


    and lightly kissed her lips.


    His voice was vague and deep, "Don''t be angry."


    He was kissing andforting her.


    Just as Natalie was about to speak, the back of her head was held down by his other hand and she


    was brought forward. He opened her teeth and kissed her with his tongue


    His kissing skills were much better.


    Even Natalie didn''t need to do anything. The initiative waspletely on his side, and she could only


    be forced to bear it.


    He liked her very much. Feelings could not be hidden. Hence there was his intense possessiveness.


    Natalie''s mind went nk and she could barely breathe.


    She was forced to stop and take a deep breath.


    "I..." Just as she was about to speak, she heard a chuckle above her head, and then he raised her chin


    with one hand.


    He kissed her passionately again.


    Loving someone is a beautiful thing, especially when the person you love happens to love you.


    Natalie was kissed so passionately by him that she felt dizzy in his arms.


    Was this what being in love felt like?


    Thinking of it, she said, "Dr. Gentry said that your nerve cells have shown signs of regeneration, which


    is good news. If we persist, we will have better results."


    Speaking of this, Natalie remembered one thing.


    Kendrick''s diagnosis and treatment results were good, so the n needed to be re-optimized and


    adjusted for the next diagnosis and treatment.


    She was going to write it tonight.


    It was past ten o''clock now.


    Kendrick held her in his arms, caressing her cheek with his fingers.


    Her skin was smooth and soft.


    She is probably going to stay with him tonight! Kendrick thought so.


    Sleeping with her in his arms wasfortable and reassuring.


    But when he was thinking about it, she moved in his arms and sat up.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "What''s wrong?" Kendrick was puzzled.


    "I haven''t finished reading a book, so I decided to finish it tonight." She said, "I''m leaving you alone.


    You have a morning meeting tomorrow on Monday. So go to bed early."


    Kendrick froze.


    "Good night!" Natalie walked out the door.


    Kendrick was confused. What book is so fascinating?


    Sitting on the bed, he picked up a book, nced at it, and threw it back.


    What''s so great about these books?


    His phone suddenly rang. It was Brock.


    Kendrick pressed the answer button.


    "Boss, I''ve found out. Glenn has secretly visited the presidential pce, presumably to treat President


    Williamson''s shoulder injury. I heard that he has suffered from an old injury recently."


    No wonder Glenn had lied that his hand was injured and he couldn''t do acupuncture.


    It turned out that he was up to something else.


    Kendrick snorted lightly.


    "Owen''s background information has been checked and there is no falsehood. He was adopted by a


    Hamgradishdy in a Cruxham orphanage when he was two years old. His adoptive mother is now


    teaching at a private university and is an expert in the field of biogic engineering. Her name is


    Brynn Quinn. There is no relevant information about her in the country."


    It was as if it had been deliberately erased.


    Brynn Quinn? Kendrick frowned slightly at the name.


    He asked, "Did you go into the archives?"


    "Yes." Brock said, "There is only the record of her leaving the country."


    Had someone deleted it?


    Kendrick asked again, "Is there anything else?"


    "Tomorrow, Mr. Seth will hold a board meeting to re-elect the members of the board of directors. Melvin


    will participate remotely. You can rest assured. ording to the current number of votes, Nancy will be


    excluded anyway."


    Kendrick''s voice was very indifferent, "Send more people to prevent trouble."


    --


    Ramsey Group held a regr meeting on Monday.


    ording to the voting results, it was decided that Nancy would be removed from all positions on the


    board of directors.


    Most of her shares had been transferred to Kendrick.


    In this way, she waspletely kicked out.


    She refused to ept it and went toin to her father in tears.


    Seth pped the table and said, "You know what you have done yourself. I hate family infighting


    regardless of the overall situation the most in my life. I''m teaching you a lesson this time. You''re an


    adult. It''s time to grow up!"


    His words were harsh enough. Nancy was stunned by the scolding.


    She thought about it carefully and finally realized that she had been tricked.


    Kendrick! It must be him!


    Nancy rushed to Kendrick''s office in a huff when her husband Chad happened toe out and


    stopped her, "He''s taking a rest. Don''t go in and disturb him."


    Hearing his words, Nancy was furious.


    The shame of being pped was brought up again. She raised her hand to p her husband, but he


    pinched her wrist and reprimanded her coldly, "Don''t make a scene here!"


    He shook off her hand vigorously.


    Nancy felt even more furious. She pointed at him and cursed angrily, "You are indeed Kendrick''s


    henchman!"


    Chad''s face darkened. He sneered and said something that was widely circted in the business world


    Nancy copsed and fainted from anger.


    When Kendrick knew this, he just smiled and said nothing. It was a good show.


    He didn''t have to be so extreme


    But thinking of that p at the Ramsey family that day and Natalie''s tears falling on the back of his


    hand, he decided that he couldn''t go easy on Nancy.


    --


    In the afternoon, Kendrick and Natalie came to the Neurological Medical Center.


    As his nerve cells regenerated, the treatment process was sped up and scheduled for Monday and


    Friday.


    He was blindfolded and underwent acupuncture treatment.


    There was darkness in front of him, and he couldn''t see anything.


    But this time waspletely different from thest time.


    He could feel that the person who was treating him with needles was decisive and skilled.


    Glenn was hesitant and not skilled enoughst time.


    Suddenly that hand identally touched his knee.


    It was soft and smooth.

 Chapter 93 Its Hard to Make an Appointment With Her

    Chapter 93 It''s Hard to Make an Appointment With Her


    Chapter 93 It''s Hard to Take Her Out on a Movie Date


    Kendrick didn''t feel pain in his legs, but he could feel the temperature.


    Just now, Kendrick clearly had a deeper feeling that was different from the past.


    He felt something other than the temperature.


    Kendrick subconsciously wanted to take off the blindfold but failed to do it.


    There was a chuckle in Kendrick''s ear.


    It was Natalie''s voice.


    With a pair of hands approaching, the darkness disappeared, and everything was bright.


    Natalie took off Kendrick''s blindfold and said with a smile, "You can''t take it off by yourself."


    It was designed to prevent someone from taking off his blindfold before acupuncture.


    Kendrick was surprised and said, "You''re here!"


    Natalie nodded and said, "I''m here all the time in case you need any help."


    Natalie had indeed been there all the time.


    If Natalie lied and said that she was not there, it would arouse Kendrick''s suspicion even more.


    Kendrick was cautious and smart.


    Kendrick looked at Natalie and then at Owen on the side.


    "The acupuncture time is shorter thanst time." Owen continued, "In the future, I will control the time


    within 30 minutes. Mr. Ramsey, are you feeling unwell?"


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and looked at the acupuncture marks on his legs.


    "If so, remember to tell us!" Natalie continued "For example, do you have a tingling sensation or a


    strong sense of touch?"


    "No," Kendrick said.


    Natalie squatted down, stroked Kendrick''s knees, and slowly put down the bottoms of his trousers.


    This time, Kendrick didn''t feel the same touch just now, as if that moment was just an illusion.


    ...


    It was four o''clock in the afternoon.


    The autumn sunshine was great, and Natalie proposed to go out for a walk to get some fresh air.


    "Hanging out can lighten you up!" she suggested.


    Natalie wouldn''t say that it was because she smelled the aromas of roasted chestnuts and roasted


    potatoes.


    Kendrick naturally couldn''t refuse.


    Natalie was pushing Kendrick''s wheelchair, so she was the decision maker.


    Outside the hospital was a business street, and there were not many people now.


    Sycamores were nted on both sides of the street, and leaves were shedding.


    The sky was vast.


    The scene was as quiet as a picture.


    Natalie suddenly said, "It seems that roasted chestnuts and roasted potatoes are sold over there again.


    Do you want to taste them?"


    Kendrick replied, "If you want to eat, just buy them."


    "Okay, wait here for a while."


    Kendrick parked his wheelchair next to the rest bench and watched Natalie trot to the stall selling


    roasted chestnuts and roasted potatoes.


    The mobile phone rang suddenly.


    It was a call from awyer.


    "Mr. Ramsey, the personal share transfer letter has been prepared, but the shares can only be


    transferred after being blocked for three months because Ms. Nancy''s shares have just been


    transferred to you."


    Nancy was out.


    Nancy was also publicly humiliated by her husband and became a joke in the entire upper ss. Now


    she was drowning her sorrow at home and was extremely depressed.


    Nancy even came up with the idea of repurchasing the shares she had transferred.


    But Kendrick would certainly not give the shares back.


    In addition, Kendrick wanted to give these shares to Natalie.


    Since Natalie wanted shares of Ramsey Group, Kendrick would give her.


    Buying Nancy''s shares and kicking her out would not make Kendrick feel happy.


    It was only when Kendrick thought that those shares were gifts for Natalie that he felt it was a good


    thing.


    Kendrick responded indifferently, "Well, prepare the documents required for the transfer in advance."


    Kendrick hung up the phone and saw Natalie smiling at the vendor. After weighing the chestnuts, the


    vendor''s hand holding the shovel shook and gave Natalie more chestnuts.


    Natalie''s smile was the reason why she could have great meals in the cafeteria at the university.


    Kendrick felt it was a little funny.


    Natalie seemed to be always optimistic with a smiling face.


    However, she wasn''t like this before.


    Natalie became optimistic only recently.


    After buying roasted chestnuts and roasted potatoes, Natalie went to the juice shop to buy a cup of


    juice before going back.


    Natalie took a sip of juice in front of Kendrick and said, "I know you don''t like this, so I didn''t buy it for


    you, and I didn''t see the mineral water you often drink."


    After all, Kendrick only drank the water filtered and purified by cial rock formations for 20 years all


    year round.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick''s face and then at her hands. She was embarrassed because she found she


    only bought things for herself.  Natalie held the juice to Kendrick''s lips and said, "Why don''t you taste


    it?"


    Natalie was just being polite.


    Unexpectedly, Kendrick really lowered his head and took a sip of juice with Natalie''s straw.


    Kendrick obviously didn''t like the taste, but he still nodded and said it was not bad.


    Natalie pressed her lips and smiled. She sat down on the bench next to Kendrick, peeled a chestnut,


    and stuffed it into Kendrick''s mouth. Then Natalie said that the vendor who sold chestnuts was so nice


    and gave her a lot more.


    Kendrick said indifferently, "You had a bright smile, and he might be an idiot if he couldn''t take a hint."


    Natalie retorted, "But I smiled at you every day, why didn''t you give me something in return?"


    Kendrick was confused.


    He had decided to give Natalie the shares of Ramsey Group.


    But Kendrick couldn''t tell Natalie about it yet.


    "I''m not someone who can give you benefits just because of a smile."


    Natalie snorted and thought Kendrick was stubborn and reluctant to admit it.


    ...


    In the evening, Natalie sent a text message to Owen, telling him that she would meet him tomorrow.


    Natalie would repeat the experiments Owen had done before and tell him how to improve and how to


    operate ording to the experiments.


    Ashlynn knocked on the door and said, "Mrs. Ramsey, it''s time to apply an ointment to Mr. Ramsey."


    Natalie didn''t remember it until Ashlynn reminded her.


    As soon as Natalie went out, Ashlynn said, "I''ve already prepared another pillow in Mr. Ramsey''s room.


    If you need anything, just call me."


    Natalie was speechless.


    Natalie wondered why these people desperately wanted her to sleep with Kendrick in the same room.


    Natalie thought, "I''m gonna read the literature andprehensive cases of diagnosis and treatment


    aftering back!"


    After Ashlynn finished speaking, Baron brought a ss of milk and gave it to Natalie. Baron said, "Mrs.


    Ramsey, I think you must be very tired.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie went into the room with the milk and indeed saw a double of pillows on the bed instead of the


    previous single pillow.


    After looking around, Natalie found Kendrick had already applied the ointment to himself.


    Natalie nced at the acupuncture marks on Kendrick''s legs and found they were not so obvious.


    It seemed that it was much better thanst time.


    Natalie thought her skills were among the finest.


    Kendrick said, "Owen was more proficient than his teacher."


    Natalie kept calm and told herself not to becent.


    Kendrick said before Natalie could speak out, "Glenn''s skills are like what you did in the massage


    parlor on the streetst time."


    Glenn left many blood marks.


    Glenn seemed not to be proficient at the acupuncture points yet.


    Natalie just said, "Dr. Gentry will be very happy to hear you praise him so much."


    Kendrick stopped talking and thought about something.


    After a while, Kendrick looked up and said, "Tomorrow..."


    Natalie immediately said, "Tomorrow I have to go to Goldburg Medical University and send your nerve


    cell smear to theboratory for analysis."


    "What about the day after tomorrow?"


    "I will get the analysis results in the day after tomorrow." Natalie said with a grim look, "I''ll ask them to


    make analyses overnight."


    Kendrick frowned and said, "Just let Nigel do these."


    Kendrick thought, "It''s hard to take her out on a movie date."


    "Nigel didn''t participate in the whole process, and he will be in a muddle."


    Kendrick said impatiently, "He is the CEO''s special assistant, and he will never be in a muddle."


    The staff in the CEO''s office didn''t dare to be in a muddle.


    Natalie tentatively asked, "What''s going on that day? Why do I have to be there?"


    Kendrick said softly, "There''s a new movie. I don''t know if you like it or not."

 Chapter 94 Carry Me on Your Back

    Chapter 94 Carry Me on Your Back


    Chapter 94 Carry Me on Your Back


    Natalie was suddenly enlightened and asked in surprise, "Oh, are you making an appointment with me


    to watch a movie? When are we going? Do we need to buy tickets in advance?"


    Kendrick looked at Natalie and replied with a smile, "We don''t need to buy tickets. I have a home


    cinema, and we''ll see a movie at home."


    Kendrick wouldn''t watch a movie outside.


    The home cinema on the negative floor could directly y thetest movies from all over the world.


    The facilities inside were also extremely luxurious.


    The equipment was top-of-the-line.


    They could enjoy the feeling of booking the whole cinema at home.


    Natalie thought she was a person with a narrow view.


    Natalie quicklyputed the time in her heart that the experiments required and the follow-up results


    required, and then said, "At seven o''clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, we''ll watch a movie


    together after I get the results."


    Natalie was a little shy because she had been single for so many years and had not watched a movie


    with the opposite sex.


    Natalie wondered if holding hands and watching a movie was the necessary step to falling in love.


    Natalie pinched her face and tried to be reserved. She smiled and said, "That''s a deal. Don''t forget to


    prepare some popcorn and coke that day." Natalie rested her chin and looked forward to it. She finally


    said, "I''m going to have a break. Good night!"


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He asked, "Are you going to read books tonight?"


    Natalie nodded and replied, "Yes, I haven''t finished them yet."


    Natalie had to trante a long Fayman literature review tonight.


    Kendrick thought Natalie really loved studying.


    "Okay."


    Although Kendrick was unwilling, he still said okay.


    ...


    Natalie passed by the cinema on the way to Goldburg Medical University and saw a movie promo


    ying on the Led screen.


    It happened to be the film that Kendrick chose that had just been released.


    Ramsey Group had distribution rights for most overseas films.


    Certainly, Kendrick could y one of them at home.


    At the entrance of the cinema, several couples came out with buckets of popcorn, talking andughing.


    Natalie was waiting for the green light and then smiled when she saw these affectionate couples.


    Natalie hoped Kendrick and she could be like this one day.


    Natalie thought, "We can walk hand in hand on this wide road together."


    "If I''m tired, I will pout prettily to Kendrick and let him carry me on his back."


    "I''ll jump on his back when he squats down."


    "There is still a long way to go in life, and we''re going to spend the rest of life together."


    ...


    Owen was waiting for Natalie in the neurosurgeryboratory.


    Natalie seemed very happy today.


    Natalie was in high spirits with a bright smile.


    Well, she seemed to be very happy every day.


    Owen couldn''t help asking, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"


    Natalie wanted to say that a single man didn''t understand, but she felt that it would hurt Owen. Natalie


    touched her face, calmed down, and said, "I''ll send the smear for analysis first. Are the experimental


    instruments ready?"


    "Yes."


    "Okay, hope the experiment goes well." Natalie continued, "I have an appointment tomorrow night.


    You''ll observe it yourself and send it to me in the form of a report."


    Owen was speechless.


    He was curious and asked, "What kind of appointment?"


    After speaking, Owen felt that he shouldn''t have asked.


    Natalie was in a good mood and answered, "It''s certainly a date to watch a movie!"


    "With Mr. Ramsey?"


    Natalie couldn''t help rolling her eyes and thought, "Would I dare go to the movies with another man?"


    "Yes." Natalie nodded shyly and looked lovely.


    However, after Natalie entered theboratory in a white robe with a mask, she immediately had a


    solemn look and said, "Help me record the experimental data."


    ...


    Kendrick asked Rose to order popcorn and coke in advance.


    It would be delivered to the door at that time.


    Although Kendrick didn''t like popcorn and coke, he would satisfy Natalie with all his heart as long as


    Natalie liked.


    Aftering out, Rose met Nigel and whispered, "Mr. Ramsey has definitely been in love recently. He


    is beaming with pleasure."


    Nigel frowned and said, "I''m afraid he won''t be able to beamter."


    "Why?" Rose looked behind and saw Reuben.


    Rose smiled politely and walked away.


    Reuben was here today for West Goldburg''s development project.


    Reuben was unsure about something.


    He always thought something was weird.


    But he couldn''t figure it out.


    Reuben heard that Kendrick and Natalie had a good rtionship. Last time, someone saw the two


    drinking juice and eating chestnuts together outside the hospital, and they were just like lovebirds.


    Reuben was a little skeptical.


    First of all, Natalie and Kendrick were not the people that could be lovey-dovey.


    Secondly, Natalie didn''t like chestnuts.


    When Natalie was a child, ine or Hanna jokingly stuffed a chestnut into Natalie''s mouth, which


    blocked Natalie''s bronchus and made Natalie almost die.


    Since then, Natalie had be afraid of chestnuts.


    However, Reuben had heard about Kendrick''s affection for Natali.


    Reuben thought, "If I had known that she was so capable and could get Kendrick''s favor, I should have


    been nicer to her and should not have signed the deration."


    Reuben entered the CEO''s office.


    Kendrick looked at Reuben coldly and said, "Everything is set out in the contract. Do you have any


    questions?"


    Reuben was uneasy because of Kendrick''s gaze.


    Reuben suddenly thought of a sentence in the upper ss, that was, one could get a lot of benefits if


    he was Kendrick''s man.


    So Reuben was here more to show his loyalty now.


    "No." Reuben shook his head and continued, "I''m here today not all because of the project. I miss Nat


    a little bit. I haven''t seen her for a long time."


    Sarcasm flickered in Kendrick''s eyes.


    "Can I meet her?"


    "No way."


    Kendrick directly refused without hesitation.


    Kendrick thought, "Reuben made Natalie so embarrassed that time."


    "He wants to see Natalie again."


    "No way!"


    Reuben didn''t dare to speak anymore. He took out a bag and said, "Well, can you give this to her?"


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Kendrick squinted slightly.


    "It''s the ravioli that her grandmother personally prepared for her. Originally, her grandmother brought


    fresh chestnuts, but Natalie doesn''t eat chestnuts, so I didn''t bring them."


    Kendrick was surprised and thought, "Natalie doesn''t eat chestnuts!"


    Kendrick frowned slightly and asked, "What did you say?"


    Reuben thought Kendrick hadn''t heard clearly and said, "Natalie choked on a chestnut when she was a


    child. Since then, she has never eaten chestnuts."


    Kendrick said nothing more.


    Reuben didn''t know what Kendrick meant. As soon as Reuben was about to say something, Kendrick


    nced at him coldly.


    "Take these things back." Kendrick continued, "Nigel, see him off."


    ...


    Natalie got home on time at 6 p.m.


    The experiment went well today.


    Owen was dumbstruck after the experiment.


    They only needed to observe and record the data tomorrow.


    Natalie threw the car key at the entrance and saw Kendrick''s shoes.


    Natalie thought, "Is he back so early?"


    "Is Mr. Ramsey back?" Natalie asked.


    "Mr. Ramsey got home at 5 p.m. He''s now in his study."


    Natalie said, "I''ll go up and have a look!"


    Natalie casually took out the two chestnuts left yesterday from the paper bag and went upstairs. She


    knocked on the door of the study and entered the room.


    "I''m back, let''s go down and have dinner together!"


    Kendrick sat at his desk, reading something.


    It seemed to be some files.


    After a while, Kendrick looked up and saw Natalie peel a chestnut and throw it into her mouth.


    "Reuben came to me today."


    Natalie didn''t care about it and said, "It''s so bad."


    "Indeed." Kendrick continued, "He said something strange."


    "What?" Natalie asked, leaning against the door.


    "He said you choked on a chestnut when you were a kid. Since then, you''ve never eaten chestnuts."

 Chapter 95 I Love You

    Chapter 95 I Love You


    Chapter 95 I Love You


    Natalie almost choked on herself.


    Natalie thought, "Really?"


    She had no relevant memories in her mind.


    "Yes." Natalie first admitted it and then calmly exined, "But I''m gradually oveing my fear. I can''t


    give up chestnuts because of choking once."


    Natalie was really good at mouthing off.


    Besides, Natalie also thought on her feet.


    Kendrick stared at Natalie silently.


    The file beside Kendrick''s hand was the information about Natalie that the Quinn family gave.


    Kendrick hadn''t read it carefully before.


    Today Kendrick opened it and read it.


    Then he found a long list of matters needing attention above.


    Natalie disliked and wouldn''t eat many kinds of food, including chestnuts.


    However,tro was not on the list.


    "What happened?" Natalie asked, "Did Reuben say bad things about me again?"


    Natalie thought, "Reuben said bad things in front of mest time, and does he also want to say them to


    Kendrick behind my back?"


    "No." Kendrick denied, "He came to me for the project today. He just said something about you


    incidentally."


    Kendrick didn''t hide it.


    He told Natalie what Reuben had said.


    "He has never cared about me or understood me." Natalie said calmly, "He suddenly cared about me


    just because I have some value. Don''t pay attention to him and don''t be soft on him."


    After speaking, Natalie nced at Kendrick and said in an injured tone, "When he showed partiality to


    his other daughters, you were also there and saw it in the attic of the Quinn''s mansionst time. He


    ignored me and allowed his other daughters to bully me."


    Kendrick certainly remembered it.


    Suddenly, Kendrick had a frosty look.


    Natalie continued, "I have nothing to do with him. If you are curious about my past, I will tell you


    personally. Don''t learn it from other people, because the information is biased."


    It was normal that people in love couldn''t help wondering about each other''s past.


    Natalie knew about Kendrick''s past.


    Kendrick''s previous life was gloomy, so he was restrained.


    Kendrick was special to Natalie.


    "Okay." Kendrick agreed and asked, "Did you often get bullied in the Quinn family before?"


    Natalie walked over, hugged Kendrick''s neck from behind, and put her face on his face.


    This posture would increase a sense of trust and dependence on each other.


    "Yes." Natalie whispered, "I got bullied because I was too young and no one helped me, but..." Natalie


    quickly changed her tone and said, "No one dares to bully me now because you will protect me."


    That was emotional intelligence.


    Even if Kendrick didn''t understand romance, facing Natalie''s gentle words, he would first let go of his


    doubts andfort Natalie, "I will deal with the Quinn family."


    Reuben never thought that his ttery would finally be thest straw of the Quinn family.


    Natalie didn''t move and continued, "I will protect myself. Don''t you think I have changed a lot recently?"


    Natalie stole a march on Kendrick.


    Natalie thought, "Instead of being questioned, she''d better ask Kendrick in return."


    Kendrick thought Natalie had indeed changed a lot.


    For example, Natalie now dared to ask Kendrick in return, which made Kendrick feel they were nip and


    tuck.


    Kendrick didn''t have such a feeling even in business.


    "Yes." Kendrick replied, "You are very different from before, or I didn''t know you enough before."


    The two hardlymunicated even if they were married for a year.


    They had different thoughts and different hobbies.


    Besides, Kendrick was indifferent and cautious.


    He never opened his mind to others easily.


    If Natalie hadn''t been proactive enough, they wouldn''t have a story at all.


    "Where?" Natalie asked tentatively.


    "From personality to hobbies." Kendrick thought for a while and said honestly, "It''s like you''re a different


    person."


    Natalie thought for a while and suddenly had an impulse to say that Kendrick was right.


    Natalie wanted to tell Kendrick the truth. She wanted to tell him that she was actually not the original


    Natalie but just a soul from another world.


    Natalie wanted to tell Kendrick that she only borrowed his wife''s body and changed the story of the


    divorce to forcibly live with him.


    "Of course, no one is changeless." Kendrick saw Natalie frowning slightly and then said slowly and


    solemnly, "You''re great now."


    Kendrick thought, "You''re very great."


    "I like everything about you."


    "More importantly, we have a spiritual resonance."


    "Besides our bodies, the resonance is from the depths of our souls."


    As Natalie said, they were just like the two independents that began to have an attractive force.


    Natalie understood Kendrick and knew what he needed.


    Every hug and kiss was warm.


    Even if Natalie got old or changed her appearance, as long as the sincere soul was still there, Kendrick


    could still recognize her.


    Natalie was stunned.


    It seemed that Kendrick answered himself.


    After a pause, Kendrick said seriously, "Be careful when you eat chestnuts. Don''t choke on yourself


    again."


    That was exactly what Kendrick wanted to say most.


    "Okay. Let''s go down and have dinner!" Kendrick patted Natalie''s face as he said.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie rxed her eyebrows and felt her heart so sweet as if a piece of candy melted in her heart.


    She wrapped Kendrick''s neck and directly kissed him.


    Natalie opened Kendrick''s mouth with her tongue and entangled with his tongue, and their hot and


    humid breath were intertwined.


    Natalie thought, "I love him so much!"


    "No word can describe my deep love."


    Natalie even wanted to say, "Be good, and I''ll give you my life."


    But Natalie didn''t say that. She touched Kendrick''s Adam''s apple and kissed it little by little. Finally, she


    said softly in his ear, "I love you."


    ...


    Dinner was dyed until 7 p.m.


    Natalie said, "The anatomic slices have been sent today. The results wille out tomorrow, and I''ll


    keep an eye on it."


    In fact, Natalie not only sent slices but also did experiments today.


    The next week was a data observation period.


    Owen would do it next week.


    Kendrick was peeling shrimp for Natalie.


    That was right.


    Kendrick, who was used to being taken care of, was peeling the shrimp in person.


    He probably didn''t get back hisposure because of Natalie''s sweet words.


    After hearing Nataliein that the shrimp was so difficult to peel, Kendrick directly peeled the


    shrimp for her without speaking.


    Although it was inappropriate for such pretty hands to peel shrimp, women couldn''t always obey men''s


    words.


    Women should ask men to take the initiative to do something so that they would feel that they were


    needed.


    Otherwise, unteral efforts would make the couple too tired.


    Ashlynn walked over with the soup. She had sharp eyes and saw many red marks on Kendrick''s neck


    at a nce. Kendrick''s neckline of the white shirt was slightly open, so the marks were more obvious.


    Ashlynn watched Kendrick peeling shrimp and asked worriedly, "Mr. Ramsey, are you allergic?"


    Natalie looked up at Ashlynn.


    Ashlynn touched her neck and motioned to Natalie. Ashlynn continued, "There are a lot of red marks."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick''s neck and saw obvious marks.


    They were obviously hickeys!


    It was Natalie who made them.


    Natalie couldn''t helpughing.


    As soon as theughter came, Kendrick looked up at Natalie with a warning in his deep eyes.

 Chapter 96 Dont Push Your Luck, Nat

    Chapter 96 Don''t Push Your Luck, Nat


    Chapter 96 Don''t Push Your Luck, Nat


    Natalie pressed her lips and said solemnly, "Yes, stop peeling shrimp. I''ll apply some ointment to your


    neckter."


    Ashlynn didn''t understand such things, so she really thought Kendrick was allergic.


    Ashlynn also said that seafood wouldn''t be prepared these days.


    Natalie chuckled and said meaningfully to Kendrick, "Your skin is so sensitive!"


    Natalie had just kissed up along Kendrick''s Adam''s apple with less force.


    Unexpectedly, the marks were so obvious.


    Kendrick took out a wet tissue and wiped his hands slowly. Seeing Ashlynn still wanting to talk, he


    raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you idle?"


    Kendrick thought, "What''s going on?"


    "These people seem to be very idle."


    "I don''t pay her to gossip."


    Ashlynn hurriedly turned around and left.


    Natalie smiled and said, "Don''t be hard on her. A boss like you is really strict."


    Kendrick raised his eyes and looked at Natalie indifferently. He said, "You''ve finished your meal, right?"


    Natalie stopped hercent smile, lowered her head, and began to eat the shrimp that Kendrick


    had peeled for her.


    Natalie thought, "Don''t push your luck, Nat."


    Natalie couldn''t help but secretly look at Kendrick, out of the corner of her eye.


    Natalie saw Kendrick raising his hand to touch his Adam''s apple.


    She felt he was very sexy!


    Suddenly, Kendrick''s gaze settled on Natalie.


    Natalie immediately withdrew her gaze.


    "Are they really obvious?" Kendrick asked suddenly.


    Natalie raised her eyes, bit her lower lip slightly, and nodded embarrassedly.


    Kendrick kept looking at Natalie, and then his gaze settled on Natalie''s neck.


    Kendrick squinted slightly.


    Natalie inexplicably felt a chill in her neck and felt it was very dangerous.


    She hurriedly lowered her head and continued to eat.


    Kendrick looked at Natalie silently for a few seconds, and his eyes roved around her earlobes and


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    vicle.


    Kendrick snorted after a while.


    After hearing it, Natalie felt Kendrick was telling her to wait and see.


    ...


    Natalie kept tossing and turning all night.


    Reuben''s sudden concern almost exposed Natalie.


    Fortunately, Natalie was good at mouthing off.


    However, she was confused about Kendrick''s reaction.


    Natalie recalled it carefully.


    Kendrick had said that Natalie was great now, which meant that Natalie was recognized by him.


    Natalie had guessed that Kendrick might be unwilling to go back to the past.


    So Natalie had been so impulsive that she directly said she loved Kendrick and took the initiative to


    kiss him.


    Natalie wondered if it was too rude.


    Then she thought, "Forget it. I''ve done many rude things. It''s nothing!"


    The two of them hardly talked about the past when they got along now.


    They were all smart and were fine now. There was no need to worry about the past.


    The moonlight fell on the side of the bed. Natalie sat up and rested her chin in her hands.


    Natalie thought, "Before telling him the truth, do I need to let him brace himself in advance?"


    "For example, let him watch some movies or read books on soul travel."


    Natalie sighed.


    It was a bitplicated, which was not what Natalie should bear at her age.


    Natalie patted her face and told herself, "Don''t think too much. He trusts you for now. Just tell him the


    truth after the operation. If he can ept that I''m not his real wife, we can still be together. If not..."


    Natalie thought, "Nothing is impossible!"


    "I have many advantages. How can Kendrick not ept me? There''s no reason that he doesn''t love


    me."


    "Mr. Ramsey hates deceiving and blowing hot and cold!"


    This sentence suddenly appeared in Natalie''s mind.


    Natalie had alreadyid down but sat up again in an instant.


    She held her head and forced herself to calm down.


    She thought, "Anyway, I''ve deceived him.".


    "It''s okay to deceive him for a while."


    "Don''t be scared."


    "Just sleep. I have business tomorrow."


    ...


    Owen stayed up all night to help Natalie observe the mice and record data.


    The data would y a key guiding role in follow-up diagnosis and treatment.


    Owen was still suspicious before, but he waspletely convinced after Natalie independently


    Owen''s mother taught him a saying, "There''s always someone better, and there''s no limit in the


    universe."


    It made Owen always be in awe of science.


    Seeing Owen''s obvious dark circles under his eyes, Natalie said with concern, "You can have a rest


    first, and I''ll record the data."


    Owen said feebly, "The experimental results are on the desktop. Please check the data."


    "OK." Natalie expertly put on her white robe. She opened the experimental ssware and found


    something strange.


    The mice had died.


    "Owen!" Natalie shouted, "Something wrong!"


    Owen was not sleepy at all and ran over to take a look.


    All the mice of the experimental group had died, while the mice of the control group were alive.


    Owen was stunned.


    Natalie frowned and asked, "All went well before I left yesterday. Did anyonee into theb?"


    After all, it wasmon that unreliable junior apprentices destroyed the senior apprentices''


    experimental results.


    "No, I locked the door."


    Natalie pinched her eyebrows and said, "First find out the reason, and then restart the experiment. The


    data is very important, and it must be urate."


    "OK!"


    The two began to investigate from the beginning of the experiment and finally found that it was


    because the experimental reagent was contaminated.


    The mice''s death had nothing to do with the design of the experiment itself and Natalie''s operation.


    Natalie''s face was beaded with cold sweat.


    After finding out the cause, Natalie heaved a sigh of relief.


    Owen looked at Natalie. Thest time Natalie was sweating was when she heard Kendrick suddenly go


    into shock in the hospital.


    At that time, Natalie also looked pale, but she still calmlypleted the first aid steps.


    Natalie said in a husky voice, "I''ll restart the experiment. You have a rest first."


    "No, I will help you."


    "You are so sleepy. I''m afraid you will be careless, and another group of mice will die.


    Owen was speechless.


    He took a deep breath and agreed, "Okay, I''ll get you lunchter. What would you like?"


    "Wholemeal bread."


    Wholemeal bread was convenient and filling, but it didn''t taste good.


    Natalie didn''t care about it during her work.


    She could even rely on oral glucose to maintain her strength when she was really busy.


    ...


    Around 6 p.m., the popcorn and coke booked by Rose were delivered to Wonder Vi.


    Rose also bought a bunch of roses very thoughtfully.


    There was also a love poem on the heart-shaped card hidden in the flowers.


    Rose thought, "It''s happier to watch other people fall in love than I am in love."


    Kendrick specially selected the time at 7 p.m. because it was also the time for the film''s global release.


    This was the first time Kendrick and Natalie officially watched a movie together.


    It would be memorable.


    However, Kendrick took pictures of popcorn and coke and sent them to Natalie at 6 p.m., but there was


    no reply.


    Until 6:30 p.m., Kendrick still got no text message.


    Kendrick dialed Natalie''s phone number.


    But Natalie didn''t answer the phone.


    Kendrick thought, "What''s going on?"


    He frowned and began to worry about Natalie.


    Kendrick continued to call Natalie, but she still didn''t answer the phone.


    Kendrick had a very gloomy look at this moment.


    The movie would start at 7 p.m., and Natalie had to be home before 7 p.m. at thetest.


    Yesterday Natalie told Kendrick that she would be home before 6:30 p.m.


    However, Natalie didn''t reply to the message and didn''t answer the phone. Kendrick wondered what


    she was doing.


    Kendrick called Brock without hesitation and asked him to find out where Natalie was!

    Chapter 97 Kendrick Can Feel His Legs


    Brock learned from Kendrick that Natalie drove to Goldburg Medical University by herself today, but


    Nataliedidn''t reply to the text message.


    In addition, Kendrick ordered Brock to investigate in secret and not to rm anyone.


    Brock immediately set out to investigate.


    From the surveince video, Brock saw that Natalie did not drive out after entering Goldburg Medical


    University.


    Brock thought Natalie certainly didn''t leave school.


    Brock saw Nataliee into the neuroscienceboratory building through the surveince video.


    It indeed matched Natalie''s whereabouts.


    But...


    Brock also saw Owene out of the building soon and buy arge bag of wholemeal bread and two


    bottles of milk.


    Brock didn''t dare to hide anything.


    He sent a copy of the surveince video to Kendrick.


    ...


    Owen slept in the lounge for a while, and it was almost eight o''clock in the evening when he woke up.


    He rubbed his eyes and went out. Then he saw that the lights in theboratory were still on.


    Owen frowned and asked, "Why are you still here?"


    Natalie didn''t turn around and replied, "I''m gonna finish processing the data."


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    "It''s eight o''clock now."


    Natalie froze. She turned around and looked at Owen in disbelief. Natalie asked, "What? It''s eight


    o''clock! Is it in the morning or evening?"


    Owen was speechless.


    "It''s in the evening."


    Hearing this, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "It''s okay. I didn''t stay up."


    No!


    Natalie suddenly thought of one thing.


    Owen reminded Natalie at this time, "Didn''t you say you have an appointment tonight?"


    "Stop!" Natalie almost cried and continued, "I remember now." Natalie quickly took off her gloves and


    white robe. Then she picked up her mobile phone in her coat and took a look.


    She turned on airne mode.


    As soon as she turned on the inte, she saw a text message.


    It was sent by Kendrick.


    Natalie was helpless. She put on her clothes and said, "I''ll go first. You record the data and don''t make


    mistakes."


    "Okay, will youe tomorrow?"


    Natalie said, "You should ask me will I still be alive tomorrow?"


    Owen was speechless.


    Natalie walked directly towards the parking lot aftering out of the building.


    Natalie called Kendrick while walking.


    After the phone was connected, Natalie said, "Sorry, I turned on airne mode before, so I didn''t


    receive the message. I will be back soon."


    Kendrick said indifferently, "OK, be careful on the road."


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.


    Sheputed the time.


    It would take 40 minutes to get back from Goldburg Medical University, even if Natalie drove on the


    highway.


    Good grief!


    From the beginning of the experiment to the test data, Natalie was so busy that she didn''t have time to


    check her cell phone, which made her two hourste.


    Even Natalie felt that it was ridiculous.


    Natalie hoped Kendrick wouldn''t be angry.


    It was impossible that Kendrick was not angry, but Natalie still hoped Kendrick wouldn''t be too angry.


    She hoped Kendrick could cool down after hearing her sweet words.


    Natalie drove the car home at a high speed.


    When Natalie got out of the car, she faintly smelled the reagent on her clothes.


    While rushing upstairs, Natalie saw Ashlynn walk downstairs. Natalie said, "Mr. Ramsey is in the home


    theater on the negative floor."


    Natalie made an ok gesture toward Ashlynn. After quickly taking a shower and changing into clothes,


    Natalie took the elevator to the negative floor.


    When Natalie opened the door of the home theater, it was dark inside.


    Only the projector shed faintly blue.


    Natalie saw Kendrick sitting on the sofa and ying with his mobile phone.


    Kendrick sat in the dark. He didn''t look up when he heard the sound of opening the door but simply sat


    there. Suddenly, Natalie had an idea of leaving now.


    As soon as Natalie had the idea, Kendrick looked at Natalie.


    Natalie had to walk over and apologized sincerely, "Sorry, I''mte."


    Kendrick said nothing.


    After a while, Kendrick raised his head and raised his eyebrows. He said, "Why?"


    "I was visiting the Neuroscience Research Center today and turned my mobile phone on airne


    mode, so I didn''t receive the message. Besides, I forgot the time."


    "It takes forty minutes from Goldburg Medical University to Wonder Vi, and you just made up such an


    excuse."


    Kendrick was obviously angry.


    "I didn''t make up an excuse. It''s a fact," Natalie said.


    Kendrick pressed his temples.


    Kendrick leaned back on the sofa. His face was hidden in darkness, which showed a certain coldness.


    "With whom?"


    "I was alone," Natalie replied.


    Kendrick stretched out his hand to Natalie and said, "Come here!"


    When Natalie approached, Kendrick directly dragged her, and Natalie directly sat on hisp.


    Kendrick sped Natalie''s waist with one hand. He leaned forward and said, "Owen was there too."


    "Well, he came to do the analysis today." Natalie didn''t deny it and continued, "I said hello to him and


    asked him to buy me bread and milk. I didn''t take them for free. I gave the money to him."


    Kendrick squinted.


    Natalie didn''t seem to be lying.


    Kendrick smelled the fragrance of shower gel on Natalie''s body. Then he grabbed her neckline slightly


    and said indifferently, "You changed clothes, right?"


    "There is a bit ofboratory smell on my body during the visit. I''m afraid you don''t like it, so I took a


    bath."


    Kendrick released Natalie and stared into her eyes. He said word by word, "I waited for you for two


    hours."


    Two hours...


    No one dared to let Kendrick wait for two hours.


    Kendrick had done nothing but only sat there, staring at the time on the cell phone for so long.


    Natalie said softly, "I''m sorry. It''s my fault. Don''t be angry, okay." She wrapped around Kendrick''s neck,


    feeling extremely guilty.


    "You didn''t reply to the text message and didn''t answer the phone."


    Kendrick thought, "Do you know how worried I''m about you?"


    Natalie didn''t dare to retort at all. She sweet-talked Kendrick, "I''m really sorry. You can punish me for


    whatever you want." Natalie approached to kiss Kendrick and said, "Let me kiss you."


    Kendrick didn''t move and said nothing.


    After kissing Kendrick twice, when Natalie saw Kendrick had no reaction, she didn''t dare to continue to


    kiss and didn''t know what to do.


    Natalie had used all of her tricks, and other tricks were beyond her ken.


    As soon as Natalie left Kendrick''s lips, her jaw was sped by Kendrick. Then he kissed Natalie hard.


    It waspletely different from the gentle kiss before. It was a possessive kiss.


    That was Kendrick! He was not as gentle and good-natured as he showed on the surface.


    He was bossy and powerful.


    Natalie was suddenly afraid. Soon her lips hurt, and she tasted the blood in her mouth.


    Kendrick let Natalie go and pinched her jaw with one hand. He stroked her lips and squinted slightly.


    Kendrick warned Natalie with a low voice in her ear, "Nat, I believe you. But if you dare to lie to me and


    have something to do with other men..."


    Kendrick moved his hand down and stroked Natalie''s slender neck. He was not as gentle as before,


    looking dangerous. Kendrick gradually increased his strength.


    "I don''t mind disabling him."


    Natalie nodded hurriedly and said, "I didn''t lie to you and didn''t dare to do so."


    Kendrick kissed Natalie again and moved down to kiss her body along her lips.


    A click came.


    It was the sound of the back button unbuttoned.


    Natalie suddenly felt pain, and her pupils were dted.


    Kendrick bit Natalie.


    Or...


    Natalie hurriedly got up in fright and nced at Kendrick in horror. She was very shocked because it


    was extremely different from her imagination.


    It was not a sweet love like candy.


    Natalie got rid of Kendrick and ran away.


    When Natalie ran to the door, she suddenly remembered something. She leaned against the door,


    carefully reached out her hand to her back, and fastened her bra sp. Then Natalie opened the door


    and ran away hurriedly.


    Behind Natalie, Kendrick''s eyes were so deep.


    Kendrick stroked his lips.


    Soon, he frowned deeply.


    He kept feeling a continuous and regr tingling in his legs.


    Kendrick seemed to feel his legs.

 Chapter 98 She Was Not Experienced Yet

    Chapter 98 She Was Not Experienced Yet


    Chapter 98 She Was Not Experienced Yet


    Natalie ran all the way back to her room and closed the door, leaning against the door and panting.


    She lifted her clothes carefully and took a look toward her chest.


    Her chest skin turned red.


    It hurt a little too.


    It was bitten by him.


    Natalie could only ept kisses on and above her neck for the time being.


    As for kisses below her neck¡­


    She was not experienced yet.


    Therefore, when Kendrick bit her, she ran away in fright.


    Natalie touched her neck. Her mind was in a whirl. After she calmed down, she suddenly got worried.


    Did Kendrick get angrier?


    It was agreed that she would take whatever punishment he gave her.


    However, she ran away in the middle of it.


    She didn''t reply to his messages, and nor did she answer his call. She was evente for two hours too.


    It was her fault.


    But he couldn''t bite her. No one had ever touched that part of her body except herself.


    However, a voice soon said to her, "He bit you. So what? Didn''t you bite him before?"


    Natalie was confused.


    She took a sip of water and tried to ignore the crazy voice in her head, thinking of getting back to check


    on Kendrickter.


    ¡­


    Kendrick reclined on the sofa. The numb feeling didn''t vanish. Instead, it grew even worse.


    So, he couldn''t move at all.


    His phone rang.


    It was Brock.


    "Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey did visit the neuroscienceboratory for a day today. Dr. Gentry stayed up


    "Mrs. Ramsey also went to the library alone to read for two hours at noon."


    Brock talked to the teachers and students of the Neuroscience Research Center at Goldburg Medical


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    University.


    After that, he reported to his boss.


    As a subordinate, Brock usually reported facts and results without adding his own judgment.


    But today, he couldn''t help but say, "I think Mrs. Ramsey was so obsessed with the science world that


    she forgot about time."


    Brock thought Natalie was intelligent and lovely. She didn''tete on purpose.


    Kendrick exhaled. "I got it."


    He hung up the phone and thought for a while.


    Natalie was indeed interested in neuroscience recently and bought many books to study on her own.


    It seemed that she didn''t finish her studies when dropping out of university.


    So did she want to make amends for the past?


    At the thought of this, Kendrick pressed his lips slightly and wondered if he should ask her to go back to


    study.


    Studying was indeed a good thing.


    Only by studying could girls be more independent and self-reliant.


    Moreover, Natalie didn''t have any friend. She stayed at home with him, and life was boring and


    monotonous.


    If she had a dream, he should support her as her husband.


    "Are you there?"


    Suddenly, the door was pushed open quietly, and Natalie''s voice came through.


    Seeing that Kendrick was still sitting there in the same posture, she turned on the light and entered the


    room.


    He looked frightening in the dark.


    She thought it was safer to turn on the light.


    Kendrick closed his eyes at the sudden brightness. When he opened his eyes again, Natalie was right


    in front of him.


    Didn''t she run away?


    Why did shee back?


    "What''s wrong? You''re sweating a lot." Natalie noticed something was wrong when she got near him.


    His face was pale, and his head was covered with cold sweat.


    Natalie quickly took a tissue from the table and wiped his sweat. When she touched his skin with her


    fingers, she frowned. "Are you running a fever?"


    His temperature was slightly higher than usual.


    It was a slight fever.


    "I''ll fetch the thermometer."


    Natalie turned to leave, but he stopped her.


    "My legs..." He said in a hoarse voice, "They are numb."


    Natalie paused.


    When Natalie came back to her senses, she widened her eyes and quickly squatted down, putting her


    hands on his knees and asking in disbelief. "Your legs are numb. Can you feel them now?"


    Kendrick nodded.


    Natalie abruptly jumped up and said, "I''ll call Owen now. We''ll go to the hospital."


    Seeing that he didn''t budge, Natalie pointed at him and said sternly, "If you''re still angry with me, you


    can do whatever you like to me when wee back. But you have to go to the hospital now. Don''t


    make a fuss."


    She would let him bite any part of her.


    Kendrick said helplessly, "How do you want me to move?"


    Damn it.


    He could feel his legs.


    But he couldn''t walk.


    Natalie pped her forehead and said, "I''m sorry. I''ll ask Brock toe over."


    ¡­


    Owen felt that he was on the verge of a sudden death.


    He stayed up all night.


    In the afternoon, he slept on the sofa for a while.


    After taking a shower, he was about to go to sleep.


    Suddenly, Natalie called and asked him to go to the treatment center, saying Kendrick could feel his


    legs.


    She said seriously, "Please keep it a secret."


    Owen quickly got out of bed without hesitation. "I''ll be right over."


    "Drive safe."


    Natalie added before hanging up the phone.


    She handed Kendrick the antipyretics she brought from home and said, "Take some medicine first."


    Kendrick followed her instruction obediently.


    After a while, Natalie raised her hand and touched his forehead. "The fever is gone." She held his hand


    and said with undisguised excitement. "It''s a good thing."


    When Kendrick saw that she was more excited than him, his mouth quivered. He wanted to say


    something, but he didn''t know what to say.


    He thought he must have lost his mind to ravish her a kiss just now.


    The two of them went to the hospital.


    When they arrived, Owen was there.


    Owen quickly arranged a series of physical examinations for Kendrick.


    He was thinking of asking Natalie to assist him, but he changed his mind when he thought of her


    identity. The words on the tip of his tongue turned into the usual constion that he gave to the


    patient''s family. "Don''t worry. Take a rest. Please wait for the results patiently."


    When Kendrick finished all the physical checkups it was three o''clock in the morning.


    The results woulde out tomorrow morning.


    He was alone in the ward. Natalie was not there.


    After a while, the door was pushed open.


    Kendrick quickly raised his face.


    It was a nurse.


    Kendrick was disappointed.


    The nurse came to change the new dressings for him. Following that, she handed him an envelope and


    said, "Mrs. Ramsey asked me to give it to you."


    Kendrick opened the envelope suspiciously and saw a heart folded by pink letter paper inside. He


    unfolded the paper, on which it was written, Letter of Apology.


    "Dear Mr. Ramsey, are you still angry with me? I''m really sorry for forgetting about the time and missing


    our first date. No matter how I exin, I seem to look for excuses for my mistake. But I want you to


    forgive me. Please ept my sincere apology. I''m right at the door of your ward. If you are not angry


    with me, please ask me toe in and take care of you."


    At the end of the letter, she left, "I''m sorry, but I love you. Nat."


    Natalie was tactful.


    When she didn''t know if Kendrick was angry, she resorted to this method to make up with him.


    Kendrick''s anger had vanished long ago.


    When he read the letter, he didn''t think it was a big deal that she waste for two hours.


    He had made a big fuss over nothing.


    Natalie had the right to bete.


    And she deserved to be spoiled and favored.


    Kendrick gave a faint smile and said to the nurse gently, "Please ask her toe in."


    Natalie pushed open the door and went up to his bed.


    Kendrick stretched out his hand to her.


    He held her hand and let her sit next to him, tugging at her delicate ear and saying, "You can''t do this


    again."


    His voice was gentle, and there was no usation in his tone.


    Natalie nodded and reached out to wrap his neck with her arms, pressing her face to his. "Let''s watch a


    movie tomorrow. I''ll buy a big bucket of popcorn."


    Kendrick said softly, "Okay."


    After a while, he suddenly asked, "Does it hurt?"

 Chapter 99 What Am I Afraid of

    Chapter 99 What Am I Afraid of


    Chapter 99 What Am I Afraid of


    Natalie was lost in Kendrick''s gentleness.


    His words instantly woke her up.


    Well...


    How should she answer his question?


    It didn''t seem right, no matter if she said yes or no.


    When she thought of that feeling, she trembled slightly, her face turning red.


    In fact, her bark is worse than her bite.


    Natalie fumbled helplessly for words and said yes softly in the end.


    It hurt at that time.


    Kendrick didn''t ask any more questions, touching her hair and saying softly, "I''ll be gentle from now on."


    Natalie was confused.


    Her brain seemed to stop functioning.


    What was this man talking about?


    "I lost control." Kendrick whispered in her ear softly, "I scared you."


    Natalie was frightened.


    When he put his hand on her neck and said those threatening words, she felt fearful instantly.


    Natalie was intelligent.


    But Kendrick was far more powerful than her in this world.


    Moreover, he was not as gentle and easy-going as he looked.


    Definitely not.


    She had never seen anyone who had offended him walk away scathed.


    "I have only you." Natalie said in a soft and aggrieved voice, "I dare not act carelessly. Your words


    frightened me. Please don''t say that again."


    "Okay."


    Kendrick gave in to her grievance and timidity.


    But he enjoyed doing that.


    Kendrick gripped Natalie''s chin.


    He gently traced her earlobe with his thin lips.


    Natalie closed her eyes.


    She was amazed.


    This man was a good kisser.


    When he moved his hand from her waist to her back, Natalie came back to her senses.


    Natalie widened her eyes and grabbed Kendrick''s wrist.


    What was he going to do?


    The two of them looked at each other.


    Kendrick''s eyes were deep and brooding.


    He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her.


    The desire in his eyes was evident.


    Any woman would surrender to such a handsome man when he looked at her like that.


    Natalie bit her lip.


    Various thoughts filled her head. In the end, she looked down and said, "Let''s do it next time. It hurts


    today."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He withdrew his hand and cleared his throat softly.


    Natalie quickly ran away and pretended to get water for herself.


    Sure enough, Kendrick was not satisfied with the kisses above her neck.


    He wanted to explore the other parts of her body.


    Natalie drank up two sses of water before she calmed down. She came back to him and changed


    the topic.


    "The test results will be avable tomorrow. We''ll have to wait."


    Kendrick had known about this.


    She didn''t need to tell him about it.


    Natalie said, "Would you like some water?"


    She wanted him to calm down.


    "No, thank you."


    Natalie didn''t know what to say.


    She pursed her lips.


    Kendrick looked up at her and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back to study at the university?"


    Natalie almost spat out a mouthful of water.


    Study at the university?


    She had studied for years and taken many exams before she graduated with a doctorate degree. She


    didn''t have to do experiments, analyze the data, and clean the test tubes every day now.


    She had changed ce.


    Did she have to go back to study at the university?


    Natalie didn''t want to do that at all.


    But she couldn''t tell him the truth.


    Natalie forced a polite smile and said in confusion, "Why do you say that?"


    "I see that you have been studying hard recently, and you are interested in neuroscience. If you want to


    go back to school, I can admit you without any exams, and you can choose the major you like."


    It was not upright to do that.


    And it went against his principles.


    But he always made an exception for her.


    Only her.


    Kendrick added, "Keep a low profile. Don''t get discovered."


    Natalie said inwardly, "I just failed to reply to your messages and answer your phone and waste for


    two hours. Do you punish me by sending me back to university to study? Why don''t you ask me to start


    over from high school?"


    Natalie could hardly smile.


    But she had to smile.


    At the same time, she had to think of a way to refuse tactfully.


    "You don''t have friends, and you can meet people on the same wavelength in college." Kendrick


    sincerely suggested, "You don''t have to stay home all day."


    Of course, she couldn''t get too close to the boy students.


    Natalie said inwardly, "Thank you very much for being so considerate."


    She tried hard to force a smile and put down the ss, saying, "Thank you for caring so much about


    me, but I haven''t thought of going back to study. I want to spend more time with you."


    When Kendrick was about to say something, Natalie interrupted him.


    She quickly cupped his face with her hands and said with gritting teeth, "Why do you suddenly push me


    away? Are you..." She narrowed her eyes and said menacingly, "Are you seeing someone else?"


    Kendrick held her wrist and said, "No."


    How could he have someone else?


    He would only love her in his life.


    "I was joking." Natalie let go of his face and said, "Let''s talk about it when your legs are recovered."


    She wouldn''t go even if his legs were cured.


    Kendrick looked down at his legs.


    A me of hope was kindled in his heart.


    ...


    The analysis result came out the next morning.


    Kendrick''s legs had regained some feelings.


    His nerve cells were growing fast.


    It was a good sign.


    Kendrick could even have the bone marrow nerve surgery earlier than nned.


    After Natalie heard the report from Owen, she almost jumped up with excitement. She gave Owen a


    high five. When she thought of Kendrick, she stooped and held his hand. "Come on. Give Dr. Gentry a


    high five and celebrate the good news."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He was tired.


    He was manipted by her passively.


    Natalie said seriously, "Please keep it a secret. Don''t tell anyone about this."


    Owen nodded and said, "We will follow the medical n and keep the whole a secret."


    ...


    Natalie wheeled Kendrick out of the ward and chatted with him on the way.


    He sat in the wheelchair and listened to her with a faint smile.


    Anyone who saw them would think they were a perfect match.


    When they went past the lobby, someone suddenly stopped them.


    Natalie looked up.


    It was Melvin.


    His right hand was numbtely, and he sometimes couldn''t control it, so he came to the neurological


    treatment center to see if he needed surgery.


    Coincidentally, he ran across his nephew.


    "Kendrick, long time no see." Melvin went up to them and asked, "Do youe here for your legs?


    How are you doing? Getting better?"


    Kendrick said lightly, "Same as before."


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    "Don''t be depressed. It doesn''t matter if you can''t stand up. You''ve been sitting in a wheelchair for


    years. You should have gotten used to it." Melvin shook his body and fixed his eyes on Natalie, smiling


    at her viciously. "Kendrick can''t move his legs. Please take good care of him."


    Melvin continued sarcastically, "If you have a baby, Seth will give you more shares, and no one will say


    Kendrick is impotent."


    Natalie raised her face and said mockingly, "Melvin, Grandpa cares more about you than Kendrick and


    me because you don''t have any children in your forties. Your face is red, and I guess you have taken


    too many potency tonics. To be frank, those tonics could do nothing but weaken your kidneys." She


    sighed and continued, "You''vee to the wrong ce. You should go to the andrology hospital not far


    from here."


    Melvin raised his hand to p Natalie.


    Before he reached her, his hands were pinned behind his back by someone.


    Brock was always there to protect Kendrick and Natalie.


    Melvin lost hisposure and shouted, "Kendrick, I''m your third uncle. I''m your elder. I dare you to


    hurt me."


    Kendrick looked up at him and chuckled. "What am I afraid of?"


    After he spoke, his face darkened, and his disguised gentleness vanished. He nced up at Brock.


    Brock quickly gave Melvin a back suplex and neatly flung him to the ground. Melvin growled in pain.

 Chapter 100 I Had a Nightmare

    Chapter 100 I Had a Nightmare


    Chapter 100 I Had a Nightmare


    Melvin tried to struggle.


    Brock put his leg on Melvin''s neck directly and pressed his face to the ground hard with his knees until


    Melvin grimaced in pain.


    Melvin waved his hands frantically like a clown.


    After enjoying Melvin''s embarrassment for a few seconds, Kendrick said slowly, "Melvin, don''t forget


    that you are a hit-and-run suspect. You show up so ostentatiously. Do you think the surveince


    cameras were only decorations?"


    Kendrick leaned forward slightly with mocking eyes. "Or do you want Grandpa to apany you as a


    guest in a legal program on TV?"


    Melvin came back secretly.


    He didn''t tell anyone.


    Hearing this, Melvin panicked and hurriedly said, "Damn you. Don''t ever try to frighten me. Do you


    believe that I''ll kick you out of the board?"


    Kendrick smiled faintly. "Let''s wait and see."


    He instructed Brock, "Drag him away."


    Brock took off his jacket and covered Melvin''s face, dragging him away ruthlessly.


    Natalie watched them leave.


    "Stop looking at them. Let''s go," Kendrick said softly.


    Natalie came back to her senses and asked apprehensively, "He won''t go to Grandpa and tell on us,


    will he?"


    Kendrick was calm. "I hope he will do that."


    He wanted to take this opportunity to test Seth''s attitude.


    Seth was partial to Melvin in the past few times, but he might reweigh everything after what happened


    Natalie looked at his calm face and fell into deep thought.


    "Do you want to see Grandpa''s attitude this time?"


    Kendrick looked up at her.


    Natalie knew she had guessed it right.


    She wheeled him forward and said, "Grandpa has been harsh on you. Maybe he has a high


    expectation for you, or perhaps..."


    Natalie couldn''t figure out Seth''s attitude toward Kendrick.


    Seth was a great man, and it was not easy to guess his mind.


    "He is defensive against me. He''s afraid that I will weaken his authority." Kendrick said, "But he relies


    on me. I didn''t fail any of the projects handed over to me."


    Seth knew well that Kendrick was the best sessor he could find.


    However, old men always wanted to show their authority and prove that they still had the say from time


    to time.


    "I respect him so that he can''t find faults in me, and he can''t manipte me either." Kendrick chuckled.


    "He can do nothing about me, so he has been struggling inside and hesitating between choices and


    resignation. Of course, it might be thest joy in his life."


    Natalie was stunned. "Are you a psychologist?"


    She said inwardly, "Does your grandfather know that you are so scheming?"


    Kendrick stopped smiling.


    Brock came over and whispered in Kendrick''s ear habitually.


    Kendrick said: "Just tell us directly."


    There was nothing that Natalie couldn''t hear.


    "I''ve hung him in the underground garage and will put him down in two hours. The surveince video


    here has been deleted in time. It won''t have any impact."


    Kendrick nodded and said, "Drive us back first."


    ...


    Natalie hardly slept all night.


    It was three o''clock in the afternoon when they got home. Natalie was so sleepy that she fell asleep as


    soon as shey on the bed.


    Kendrick was not sleepy.


    He worked in the study and asked Nigel toe and report on work.


    Nigel hastily drove over.


    Just when he arrived at the gate to the vi, he received a message on his phone.


    "Go upstairs quietly."


    Nigel quickly pressed his lips and began to walk on tiptoe from the gate of the vi.


    After he changed the shoes, he went upstairs carefully, not daring to make any noise.


    He was afraid that he would lose his legs if he made a sound.


    Nigel pushed open the door quietly with his fingers and said in a subdued voice.


    "Boss, I''m here."


    Kendrick looked up at him and motioned for him to close the door and speak normally. "Let''s get


    started."


    After Nigel reported on the daily work, he took out a stack of documents and said, "This is the personal


    file and school report cards of Reuben''s youngest daughter Hanna. She was exempted from the


    entrance exam a year ago as a special talent in art. She skipped sses many times, but she


    managed to pass the exams by bribing the teachers. Apart from that, she bullied her ssmates at


    school. She has entered a student-exchange program and will study abroad in her sophomore year."


    Kendrick motioned for Nigel to take the documents back.


    He didn''t even want to look at them.


    "You sort out the information and post it on the Inte to put pressure on the school to expel her


    directly."


    Nigel nodded. "Okay, I''ll do it right away."


    Kendrick said with cold eyes, "Find out who got her admitted without the entrance exam. No one can


    break the rules in the education system."


    Nigel said inwardly, "You seemed to ask me how to get admitted to Goldburg Medical University without


    taking the entrance exam not long ago."


    However, he didn''t dare to say that, and nor did he dare to ask.


    As expected, Kendrick started to deal with the Quinn family.


    Nora was only the first person.


    The rest of them couldn''t escape.


    Kendrick nced at the clock. It was seven o''clock in the evening.


    Natalie was still sleeping.


    Kendrick motioned for Nigel to bring him a book on finance from the bookcase next to the bed.


    The study was big.


    There was a wall of bookshelves.


    Various kinds of books filled the bookshelves.


    When Kendrick was small, no one yed with him.


    He read the books alone.


    Books brought inner peace to him and consoled his heart.


    Kendrick had been lonesome over the years.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Apart from Baron, only books kept himpany.


    It took Nigel a long time to find the book.


    He was delighted when he saw the book.


    Suddenly, the door to the study was pushed open.


    Someone came in.


    Nigel heard a girl''s soft voice. "I had a nightmare."


    Natalie ran in, barefooted.


    She bumped into Melvin in the daytime, and that might affect her.


    She had several nightmares.


    Natalie even dreamt that everything was an illusion, a dream that she imagined.


    A remote and empty voice said to her, "You don''t belong to this world. You must leave."


    She almost cried. "I belong here. I belong here."


    Following that, Natalie woke up.


    She was in the dark.


    It was quiet. She was alone.


    A whistle came from nowhere and struck her heart.


    She instantly got frightened.


    When she saw the light in the study, Natalie hastily ran over.


    She threw herself into Kendrick''s arms and took him by surprise.


    Tiny sweat broke out on her forehead.


    Kendrick frowned and held Natalie in his arms, saying gently, "I''m here with you."


    His voice consoled Natalie deeply, who recovered from her fear and came back to her senses.


    She looked up and saw Nigel hiding in the corner next to the bookshelf by the window.


    Nigel was at a loss about what to do. He wanted to leave quietly, but he was discovered.


    Natalie felt embarrassed and intended to get up.


    But Kendrick pressed her shoulders and stopped her.


    He gave Nigel a warning look and beckoned him to get out.


    Nigel held his breath and quickly put down the book. With his back turned to them, he swiftly ran away.


    Luckily, he didn''t see what he was not supposed to behold.


    Otherwise, he would lose his eyes.


    After Nigel left, Kendrick reached out to touch Natalie''s face and pat her back, coaxing her and asking


    her not to be afraid as if she was a child.


    Natalie calmed down and exhaled slowly, leaning in his arms and whispering, "I dreamt we were forced


    to separate. After I woke up, I didn''t see you. I got frightened and ran over. Did I interrupt your work?"

    Chapter 101 Help Me Take Off My sses


    Chapter 101 Help Me Take Off My sses


    "No." Kendrick said, "Nigel came to deliver the documents and insisted on staying to read a book."


    He raised his hand to touch her forehead and pressed it gently.


    He tried to soothe Natalie and calm her down.


    "It''s just a dream. Don''t take it seriously." He said in a soft voice, "I''m always here, and we will never


    separate."


    Natalie finally regained herposure.


    She had scared herself.


    The color returned to her face, and she repeated his words, "We will never separate."


    No one could separate them.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick with firmness in her eyes.


    He wore a pair of rimless sses at work and looked gentle and elegant.


    Why?


    Why did he look so handsome even when he wore sses!


    The light in the study shone on him, and half of his body was hidden in the shadows. He looked


    handsome and charming.


    Natalie narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, Kendrick said, "Help me take off my sses."


    His voice was deep and hoarse.


    No one could refuse him.


    Natalie obediently stretched out her hand and carefully took off the sses. When she was about to


    ask if she should put them away, Kendrick tilted his head and kissed her lips.


    It turned out that he asked her to take off his sses for a kiss!


    How could he seduce her like this?


    Thousands of fireworks seemed to bloom in her mind.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    And there seemed to be countless butterflies flying.


    She even seemed to hear whistles blowing crazily.


    It was like a dream.


    She enjoyed it.


    She hoped she would never wake up.


    But soon, she heard him gasp softly.


    He even frowned.


    Natalie hastily let go of him and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "My legs seem to hurt."


    Kendrick furrowed his brows tightly.


    Natalie quickly jumped off hisp.


    He had been injected with nerve growth medicine during the day. He used not to feel anything.


    But now he felt slight pain apart from the numbness.


    Natalie asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"


    Kendrick shook his head and said, "No, it''s better now."


    Natalie was worried and happy at the same time.


    This meant his legs were slowly regaining consciousness.


    It proved that the treatment n was feasible.


    Natalie didn''t dare to show her excitement and took out her mobile phone, saying, "I''ll call Dr. Gentry to


    see what he will say."


    Kendrick was considerate at the moment and said, "We''re not in a hurry. I guess he''s taking a rest."


    Natalie quickly held his face with infinite gentleness in her eyes and said, "You are so kind!"


    He was considerate and cared about others.


    She loved him.


    Owen had been working for two days without sleeping, and now he could have a good rest.


    When he woke up, he looked at his cell phone.


    Natalie messaged that Kendrick could feel slight pain in his legs, which not only regained partial


    consciousness. However, the pain was fleeting.


    Owen sat up abruptly in bed.


    He texted Natalie back and asked a few questions in detail. After he gave her a professional reply, he


    made an appointment for Kendrick to take a follow-up visit on Friday.


    Natalie nced at the time of his reply.


    It had been eight hours since she sent him the message.


    How could he sleep that long?


    How did he graduate as an MD?


    Natalie yawned.


    She stayed up until two or three in the morning.


    Fortunately, she was young.


    She could burn the midnight oil.


    On the desk, there was a thick stack of scientific reports that she printedst night.


    She tranted the documents and annotated andmented on the pages.


    Natalie nned to give the documents to Owen when she saw him next time.


    As his senior, she would give him her solicitude.


    Natalie stayed up almost every nighttely.


    She could see her haggardness in the mirror.


    She was a young girl and cared about her appearance.


    Natalie stretched out her hand to pat her face. "Hold on. You can take a good rest after the surgery


    goes smoothly."


    Naturally, Kendrick also noticed her haggardness and thinness.


    Her chin got pointed, and her face was no bigger than a palm.


    Natalie had been staying with him day and night without taking a rest.


    Kendrick told her directly, "I''ll ask Brock to take me to see Owen on Friday. You should stay at home


    and take a good rest."


    Natalie tried to argue, "I''m very energetic."


    Kendrick said sullenly, "Look at your face."


    Natalie stretched out her hand and touched her face. She didn''t dare to say anything. After being silent


    for a while, she suddenly raised her face and asked uncertainly, "Do I look that bad?"


    Kendrick thought she was haggard.


    Natalie looked more like a patient than him.


    Seeing that Kendrick fell silent, Natalie pressed her lips and said with low confidence, "Will you dislike


    me?"


    Right after she spoke, Kendrick flicked her forehead with his fingers.


    Why did she say he disliked her?


    "You''re too tired." Kendrick said gently, "It damages your health if you look after me day and night."


    Natalie touched her forehead. It hurt a little.


    She said, "Brock can''t take care of you alone."


    "It''s fixed."


    Natalie didn''t say anything else.


    She would go with him on Friday, and Kendrick could do nothing about her.


    ...


    Of course, Kendrick knew what she was thinking.


    He wanted Natalie to take more rest. She was too tired.


    Kendrick thought for a while and found someone he could trust the task to.


    When Maggie received a call from Kendrick, she felt uneasy.


    Things had been going smoothly for hertely.


    Ste was put in prison.


    Maggie had officially terminated her contract with her formerpany.


    Presently, she was in touch with the director of a new drama. Although she would take a supporting


    role, the script was good, and it was a high-level production.


    Maggie wondered why Kendrick called her.


    Kendrick made his request curtly.


    Maggie said, "Kendrick, do you want me to take Natalie out for fun?"


    He should have told her earlier. She had been worried for a long time.


    "It''s getting coldtely, and I want to enjoy the hot springs. I''ll ask her to go with me. Don''t worry.


    Nothing bad will happen this time."


    If anything happened, she would be in trouble.


    She would be too ashamed to see Kendrick.


    Kendrick thought Maggie got his intention much faster than before.


    He said, "Make her happy. I''ll give you a big presentter."


    Maggie said, "I promise I''llplete the mission well."


    ...


    Natalie soon received a message from Maggie.


    Maggie had bought two hot spring tickets.


    She wanted to go on a vacation with Natalie.


    Natalie clicked her tongue.


    She thought Maggie had to hang out with her because thetter didn''t have a boyfriend.


    Natalie said to Kendrick, "Doesn''t Maggie have any filming to dotely? She has nothing to do and


    asks me to enjoy hot springs with her."


    She found the free trip tempting.


    But she didn''t have time to do that.


    Kendrick said lightly, "Go with her."


    Natalie said, "I''ll do it next time. I''m busytely."


    "You never know when the next time will be." Kendrick said, "Maggie is free recently. If you refuse, she


    will be upset."


    That was true.


    Maggie had been through a lot of thingstely.


    She even posted a short article telling everyone how she felt on Twitter.


    And this made her a trending topic again.


    No matter what she did, those haters would never like her.


    Maggie was good at pestering.


    She kept sending Natalie cute emojis.


    She wouldn''t give up unless Natalie agreed to go with her.


    Natalie thought Maggie was a spoiled princess.


    Natalie said helplessly, "Okay, I''ll go with her."


    Kendrick looked at her tiny face and pinched her cheek, muttering, "Why don''t you put on weight?"


    Natalie quickly pouted her cheeks. When she was moved by his concern for her, she heard him say in


    confusion, "You eat a lot."

 Chapter 102 Its My Fault

    Chapter 102 It''s My Fault


    Chapter 102 It''s My Fault


    Natalie stopped getting food with her fork.


    She turned her face and swallowed the food in her mouth, denying it. "No, I don''t eat a lot."


    Kendrick smiled with affectionate eyes. "So it''s my fault."


    The orchids in the greenhouse were tended by him carefully. They burst into life and bloomed one after


    another.


    However, Natalie was getting thinner.


    Natalie nodded quickly andined, "You only care about the orchids, which are more fragile than


    me."


    What she said was ungrateful distortion. Kendrick stretched out his hand and pinched her ear, saying,


    "You have to shell the eggs and pick the fish bone by yourself from now on. Don''t ask me to analyze


    the stock market..."


    "I''m sorry. It''s my fault." Natalie instantly looked pitiful and quietly pulled her ear away from his hand. "I


    didn''t rest well. I''ll go out with Maggie this weekend. What''s your n?"


    "I''ll go to West Goldburg and handle some affairs on Saturday." Kendrick withdrew his hand and said,


    "Call me if you need my help."


    ...


    On Friday, Kendrick went to the nerve treatment center for a follow-up visit.


    He was blindfolded for acupuncture as usual.


    His legs regained more consciousness evidently.


    The instrument showed that his neural and muscr tissues quivered to different degrees.


    Natalie stifled her excitement and collected herself to focus on the acupuncture.


    In the middle of the treatment, Kendrick''s phone rang.


    Natalie raised her eyes and motioned for Owen to fetch the phone.


    However, Kendrick asked her to pick up the phone.


    Natalie was surprised.


    She didn''t know what to do.


    Owen came to her rescue and said, "Mr. Ramsey, I''ll pause the acupuncture and apply medicine to


    you."


    Natalie hastily picked up the phone on the side.


    She heard a deep low male voice from the other end of the line.


    "He has taken action. Please..."


    Natalie said, "I''m sorry, but Mr. Kendrick is not avable for the moment."


    The man fell silent.


    After a while, he said sorry and hung up.


    His number was not on Kendrick''s contact list.


    Natalie told Kendrick the phone number. "I didn''t quite get what he said. You call him backter."


    Kendrick was unruffled and said lightly, "Okay."


    After the acupuncture, Owen gave Kendrick an injection of nerve growth medicine.


    At these moments, Natalie couldn''t bring herself to look at Kendrick.


    No constion could alleviate his pain.


    Owen saw her face turn pale. He went out of the ward and said to her, "Things are getting steady. We


    can advance the surgery to next month and try to finish it by March next year."


    Natalie said, "Okay." She took out the thick stack of documents. "I tranted half of it, and you have to


    do the rest."


    Owen took the thick stack of paper and thought for a while before saying with concern, "You look


    haggard. You should take a good rest so that you can have sufficient energy and willpower to look after


    him."


    Natalie nodded. "Thank you for your concern."


    Owen flipped through the documents and said, "As for the medicine to be used after the surgery, we


    need to decide on the recuperation n."


    Natalie knew there were many medicines to be invented or on research in this world.


    She said, "Okay, I''ll work on it."


    Owen put away the documents and saw Natalie staring at the phone frame on his desk.


    He pointed to the photo and exined, "It''s my mother. The photo was taken at Faymany University


    twenty years ago. I was only six at that time."


    The photo taken twenty years ago was blurry, and Natalie couldn''t see his mother''s face clearly.


    However, she could feel the elegant intelligence of Owen''s mother.


    Natalie sighed inwardly.


    She was an orphan in both worlds.


    In the end, she praised, "Your mother is beautiful and elegant."


    Owen smiled gently and said with admiration, "She''s a genius, much better than me."


    He soon stopped smiling and said worriedly, "I can''t cover you timely in every treatment. Mr. Ramsey


    will notice it over time."


    Natalie pressed her lips. "I''ll stop the acupuncture after two treatments, and he''ll have low-frequency


    impulse current therapy."


    Owen said, "You will have to make the preparation for the surgery."


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Natalie nodded. "I''ll do it this week."


    ...


    At five o''clock on Friday afternoon.


    Maggie came to pick up Natalie and went to Jade Vi for the hot springs.


    She thought Kendrick was generous.


    He reserved the whole vi.


    Besides, he would cover all the expenses.


    Because of that, Maggie offered to carry the luggage for Natalie.


    Natalie handed Maggie the luggage.


    Maggie carried it to the boot and saw Natalie say goodbye to Kendrick reluctantly. She thought, "Won''t


    they separate for only two days? She wille back Sunday afternoon. Do they have to disy their


    love in public?"


    Natalie said to Kendrick, "I''ll go with Maggie. Stay at home and take a good rest. Remember to take


    medicine and apply the medicine pads."


    She gave other instructions.


    Kendrick chuckled with amusement. "Hurry up. Maggie''s waiting for you."


    Natalie looked back and saw Maggie leaning against the car window impatiently.


    Natalie pressed her face against his and said goodbye to Kendrick.


    Maggie quickly sat up and started the car.


    "Nat, what''s in your suitcase? Why is it so heavy?"


    "Well... my clothes and myptop."


    "I don''t believe you. I guess you have put bricks there."


    "And a book."


    Maggie said in bewilderment, "Why do you take a book on vacation?"


    "I can''t sleeptely. I can only fall asleep after reading for a while at night."


    Maggie was speechless.


    "We will have dinner before going to the hot springs. I''ve ordered barbecue for two people." Maggie


    said, "I''ll meet the producer and director of a new movie."


    "Who''s the director?"


    "Lamont Stone. He''s not famous."


    Natalie widened her eyes and looked at Maggie.


    Maggie said, "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing. Is he the director of The Fallen Empire? We watched the moviest time."


    "Yes. After we sign the contract tomorrow, I''ll join the crew." Maggie lowered her eyes with a disturbed


    look.


    "This movie will be a big hit." Natalie looked at Maggie confidently. "You will get popr and be a


    big star."


    Maggie was not confident.


    After Kendrick tossed the stack of data in front of her, her confidence was shattered.


    "Will I?"


    Natalie said, "Yes, of course."


    She invested in the movie.


    Natalie said, "Yes. Be confident. Once you get confident, you can do anything."


    Maggie sat up straight. "I believe you.''


    ...


    After Maggie and Natalie checked in at the hotel, they went to the restaurant.


    When they went past the reception desk, they saw a woman making a scene.


    "I made a reservation in advance. Why can''t I check in?"


    The receptionist said impassively, "We are not open to the public for this weekend. We will refund you


    by double."


    "Not open to the public? Why didn''t I receive a notice?"


    "Perhaps you missed our message."


    Maggie said quietly to Natalie, "We''ve reserved the whole ce."


    Natalie said, "That''s luxurious."


    Kendrick reserved the vi, but he didn''t allow Maggie to tell.


    As the two of them whispered, the fussy woman suddenly turned to them and said, "Since it''s not open


    to the public, why can they stay here? I saw them check in just now."


    Following that, she said in disbelief, "Natalie, why, it''s you!"


    Natalie thought, "Who do I run across this time?"

 Chapter 103 Im Thinking about You

    Chapter 103 I''m Thinking about You


    Chapter 103 Think About You


    She stepped forward and found this woman was actually ine.


    Natalie smiled, "Of course it''s me. Because I''ve rented this ce." ine clenched the handle of the


    suitcase tightly as countless thoughts ran through her mind.


    ine pursed her lips but then swallowed her words and turned to leave. She was understated now,


    which was a departure from her previous attitude of arrogance.


    Natalie was puzzled, thinking, ¡°Why did she run away when seeing me? Did she suffer mental trauma


    from being pped on the face?"


    Natalie clenched her hands, thinking it would be more useful to use violence.


    ine turned around and took two steps before meeting Hanna who had parked her car and was


    Just as Hanna was about to ask why ine left so soon, she saw Natalie who was standing with a


    thoughtful look on her face.


    Hanna lost her temper and rushed to Natalie, raising her fist.


    But before she approached Natalie, a surge of pain in her knee caused her fall into the ground.


    Natalie had seen Hanna before she did and kicked Hanna on her leg.


    Hanna fell to the ground. As her fat body hit the ground with a thump, even the receptionist gave a


    slight tremble.


    "What¡¯s wrong with you?" Natalie was puzzled. "Do you have to have a beating?"


    Hanna struggled to sit up and started yelling, pointing her finger at Natalie.


    Maggie couldn''t stand her shouting anymore and went to get the security guards.


    Natalie stopped her. "Wait."


    Natalie learned Hanna''s meaning from the string of abuses. She figured it out and frowned. "You said


    your father has sent your mother to a mental hospital, and you were forced to drop out of school,


    right?"


    Hanna nodded.


    Natalie shrugged her shoulders. "But what does it have to do with me?"


    "It''s all because of you." Hanna barked, "My dad was forced by Kendrick, and Kendrick must also have


    forced the school to dismiss me. Now I can¡¯t study or go abroad. I¡¯m only 18 years old. You''ve ruined


    my life!"


    ¡°That¡¯s lucky for you. You don¡¯t like studying anyway." Hearing that, Hanna gritted her teeth in rage.


    She looked around and found ine was gone.


    ¡°I know you¡¯ve told on us." Hanna said bitterly, "How did we offend you? Why do you do this to us? You


    are a bi..."


    There was a p.


    Natalie grabbed the vi brochure and smacked Hanna''s face with it.


    The p almost made Hanna see stars and she felt a burning pain on her cheek.


    Natalie withdrew her hand and said lightly, "You should learn from ine. She¡¯s smart because she


    runs away as soon as she sees me."


    Natalie rolled up the brochure and tapped it in her palm, saying, "You are stupid. Since you are so sure


    that it has something to do with me, shouldn''t you kneel to me and beg for mercy?"


    Natalie sighed. "If you swear at me, I''ll go to my husband to tell on you again." Natalie stared at Hanna


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    with cold eyes. "By the time, you¡¯ll suffer worse."


    Hanna was shocked as she met with Natalie''s cold eyes.


    "Beg me." Natalie smiled and said, "If I''m in a good mood, I''ll let you go."


    Hanna breathed heavily, goggling at Natalie, and her face turned pale. She found Natalie had really


    changed a lot, because she had a cold aura that stopped others from bullying her.


    "Will you...let me go back to school if I beg you?"


    Natalie sneered, "Of course...no!"


    Hanna''s face froze, and she almost growled, "Then why did you say that to me?"


    Natalie said indifferently, "Giving you hope before making you despair." After she finished speaking,


    she signaled the security guards to pull Hanna away.


    Natalie put the brochure back and saw Maggie''s astonished face. She waved her hand in front of


    Maggie''s eyes. "What''s wrong?"


    Maggie was then back from her surprise and said in a tone of reverence, "You are amazing!"


    Natalie said lightly, "Don''t be soft-hearted to this kind of person, or they¡¯ll take you down with them."


    She nced at Maggie and warned, "Stay away from such scumbags, and you will have a better life."


    But Natalie didn¡¯t expect that Kendrick would fix the Quinn''s family so quickly.


    As expected of him, he was so resolute and efficient.


    Natalie and Maggie went to the restaurant to eat. After a short rest, they went to a spa.


    The moment Natalie entered the warm water, she felt her body was totally softened.


    She had sponged off the kind of luxury enjoyment only once or twice her previous life.


    Natalie picked up a grape and threw it into her mouth and said to Maggie, "What time will we meet


    Lamont tomorrow?"


    Maggie was taking a selfie when saying, "We¡¯ll have dinner with him at six o¡¯clock in the afternoon. He


    said it took him three hours to transfer from the bus to the subway and get there. Is he that poor? He


    told me he has received a 1.5-million-dor investment!"


    She then sighed, "I doubt if it''s true. Who would have invested so much money in a web-only drama?"


    Natalie said, "Perhaps the investor is a visionary and thinks the drama will be popr."


    Maggie looked at her confident face and began to acquire confidence.


    After soaking in the warm water for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.


    Natalie changed into a Kettledolish style nightgown and went to bed. She looked at the clock and it was


    only around ten o''clock. She sent Kendrick a message asking what he was doing.


    He replied, ¡°Processing some files."


    Natalie texted, ¡°Guess what I''m doing."


    ¡°Taking a spa?"


    ¡°It¡¯s done already."


    Kendrick kept guessing and his answers were still wrong.


    Finally, Natalie texted, ¡°Think about you."


    Just after she sent the message, Kendrick started a video call.


    Natalie picked it up and said with a smile, "You''re actually processing files, instead of thinking about


    me."


    She had just taken a bath and her face was crimson with a girlish timidity.


    Kendrick didn¡¯t speak.


    He smiled and then said, "Ask me again."


    Natalie asked again.


    A deep and mellow voice sounded on the phone. "I''m thinking about you," he said, stressing each


    word. Every word hit her heart.


    Natalie thought, ¡°Damn it, he charmed me again."


    They chatted for a while until Natalie heard a knock on the door. She put down her phone and said, "I''ll


    go have a look."


    It was Maggie. She came to rehearse with Natalie, holding a stack of scripts in her hand.


    Natalie asked, "Isn''t it toote?"


    ¡°Tomorrow, Mr. Stone wille over, and by the way, he¡¯ll audition me, so I want to practice tonight."


    Maggie continued, "I''m a bit unsure about the emotions. Can you give me some advice?"


    Natalie let her in and closed the door.


    The two sat down on the sofa and started to chat.


    Kendrick''s voice came from the earphones. "Is that Maggie?"


    Natalie said, "Yes, I have to go."


    Sitting opposite her, Maggie suddenly raised her face and grabbed Natalie¡¯s sleeve when Natalie was


    going to turn off the video. "Look at this part," Maggie said.


    Natalie¡¯s petite body was swathed in the loose nightgown. As she was pulled, her cor hung open.


    Her jewel-like shoulder was revealed and appeared on the screen.

    Chapter 104 Fasten Your Clothes to Avoid Cold


    Natalie turned the phone screen to face down and hurriedly gathered her gown around her.


    Maggie yelled at this moment, "Sorry I pulled your gown."


    Natalie lowered her eyes and coughed. "You hang up first!"


    Kendrick hummed softly in an inexplicable tone. Then Natalie heard the video being turned off.


    Looking up, she saw Maggie smiling.


    She moved over and asked, "You didn''t see anything, did you?"


    Maggie pursed her lips. "I didn''t see anything, but...Kendrick should..." Maggie looked up and said in


    surprise, "Nat, you are blushing."


    Natalie hooked her arm around Maggie''s neck, threatening, "I think you need a beating."


    Maggie looked at her curiously, "Nat, you haven''t..., have you?"


    "What?" Natalie asked.


    Maggie said carefully, "My grandpa said that he wanted a grandchild and that he would raise the child."


    Natalie muttered, "It''s too soon!" After all, Kendrick didn''t even mention it. Natalie didn''t give a thought


    to it, either.


    Natalie took the script from Maggie''s hand and said, "Which part do you not understand? Tell me. I''m


    going to sleep soon."


    Maggie pointed at a paragraph, "Give me some advice about the emotions here."


    When the two finished the rehearsal, it was almost twelve o''clock.


    After Maggie left, Natalie picked up her phone and wanted to text Kendrick but didn''t know how to start


    the chat.


    Finally, she sent a sentence. "Good night, go to bed early."


    Ten secondster, her message was responded. "I can''t sleep."


    Natalie didn''t know what to reply, thinking, "He doesn''t follow the usual script. What should I reply to


    him?" She immediately searched the Inte. Soon she found an article titled "When a man says he


    can''t sleep, a woman with high EQ will reply with the sentences."


    Natalie browsed through it and got an answer.


    First,fort him and help him rx. She texted, "It''s probably because you have read too many


    documents, you can apply some soothing essence."


    "I did it."


    Natalie remained speechless and then replied, "Then I''ll chat with you for a while."


    "Go to sleep." Kendrick texted back.


    Then he added, "It''s cold on the mountain, so fasten your clothes."


    Natalie remained silent, thinking, "He must be thinking about something."


    ...


    The air was fresh in the mountain in the morning. Natalie got up early and finished her morning run.


    Maggie was taking pictures and saw her. "Nat,e here and let me take pictures of you!"


    Natalie refused, "I''m sweaty from running, and my hair is messy. I don''t want to take pictures."


    "Then you take some pictures of me, okay?"


    Natalie wanted to refuse but changed her mind considering she was invited here by Maggie. She took


    a few photos of Maggie.


    Maggie looked at the photos and marveled, "Have you studied photography?"


    Natalie was surprised. "It''s easy once you know light andposition, isn''t it?"


    Maggie was speechless.


    Seeing Natalie leaving, she asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Going back to sleep." Natalie returned to her room, turned on herputer, and began writing a


    surgical n.


    The surgery wasplex. Firstly, the scar formed by the necrotic cells must be removed, and then the


    cogen scaffolds should be nted to guide nerve regeneration and repair the damage, which would


    take a long time.


    But luckily, under Owen''s help, she would feel less stressed.


    Natalie finished the n and sent it to Owen. She looked up and found the sun was setting. It was five


    o''clock.


    She thought, "I came here to work, not to rest."


    Natalie got up, washed her face, and put on some makeup before sending a message to Maggie


    asking where she was.


    "I''m at Sunset Restaurant. Come soon, or you won''t see the sunset." Maggie texted back.


    Natalie dressed and went over.


    Again, she saw Maggie taking selfies in the restaurant. Natalie walked over and asked, "Why don''t you


    take an assistant with you to take pictures of you?"


    "I''m terminating the contract with my former agency, so I don''t have assistants."


    "It''s fine. When you be a movie queen, you''ll have a few assistants surrounding you, taking


    pictures of you, carrying your bag, and lifting your skirt." Natalie sat down and said with a smile, "The


    plight is temporary. When the sun sets, it will rise tomorrow. You''ll see the dawn."


    Looking at Natalie, Maggie wanted to say something.


    Finally, she sighed, "Although you are two years older than me, you know a lot more than me.


    Moreover, you''ve be apletely different person."


    Natalie asked, "Have I be better or...?"


    "Of course, you''ve be better!" Maggie said, "Brett also praises you, saying you''re calm and


    responsible. He never praised anyone.


    Natalie smiled and said, "Since you are so sweet, I can take more photos of you."


    After taking the pictures, she handed the phone to Maggie and said, "Choose any photos for your


    Tweet. Each one is beautiful and doesn''t need to be refined."


    Maggie said, "Okay, the buffet is ready. If you''re hungry, eat it first. I''ll wait for Mr. Stone."


    Before she could finish speaking, Natalie had disappeared.


    ...


    Natalie returned with a buffet.


    As soon as she sat down, she heard Maggie say, "I''m on trending!"


    Natalie asked, "You were on trending days ago and were being abused. What did people say about you


    this time?"


    "No. The photos you took of me are praised by Terrell, which is on trending."


    "Who is Terrell?"


    "The movie king with the title ''Best Director and Producer of the National Film Festival''!" Maggie


    screamed with excitement.


    Natalie saw thement the movie king wrote. "An excellent photographer of superb light application


    andposition. The photos have good artistic conception and atmosphere."


    Natalie felt amused, acknowledging the praise.


    Natalie said, "Please say thank you to him for me."


    Maggie asked, "Can I say the photographer is my friend?"


    "Okay," Natalie said.


    Natalie browsed through the news and found people were discussing this thing on almost all major


    social tforms.


    The gossip groups had vigorous discussions especially.


    Terrell Barton was rarely active in the social medium after he did a grand m and retired at the age of


    25. This time, he actually praised a young celebrity and left ament, though he was praising photos


    rather than Maggie. But it was also astonishing enough.


    Natalie browsed through the posts.


    The news about Terrell flooded the screen and reminded her of something. Natalie thought of Maggie


    had won the International Actress Award for her role in a film directed by Terrell.


    Natalie flipped through the entertainment posts and found a piece of social news with fewments.


    It was said that there was an injury incident in West Goldburg that was rted to Ramsey Group.


    However, after she refreshed the page, this post was deleted.


    Natalie frowned, thinking, "West Goldburg? Kendrick is in West Goldburg today."


    She quickly took out her phone and searched the Inte. Again, those posts were gone when she


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    refreshed the page.


    Obviously, someone was keeping the news from the public.


    Natalie had a bad feeling and immediately called Kendrick.


    After a while, Brock answered the phone and said Mr. Ramsey was resting in the back seat and could


    convey messages for her.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said, "I just want to ask him if he''s back."


    "I am driving him back."


    "Okay, then I''ll let you drive."


    After hanging up the phone, Natalie said to Maggie, "Give me the car key. I need to go back."

 Chapter 105 Kendrick Is Injured

    Chapter 105KendrickIs Injured


    Chapter 105 Kendrick Is Injured


    Maggie opened her eyes wide. "Now?"


    Natalie didn''t exin much. "Give it to me."


    Maggie handed her the car key and Natalie got up and walked outside in a hurry.


    At the moment, Lamont was walking in and knocked into her.


    Lamont held on to the door in time to bnce himself. Just as he was about to swear, he raised his


    head to see Natalie. He swallowed his words and even put on a smile.


    But Natalie didn''t give him a look and hurried towards the parking lot.


    She quickly started the car and rushed out with a swoosh. She thought, "Hope I just worry too much.


    Kendrick, you must be safe."


    Now her mind in a mess. After calming herself down, she called Nigel again and asked him to deliver


    something to the vi.


    Nigel sounded very anxious and told her that he was not avable.


    Natalie asked, "Do you have something important to do?"


    After all, Nigel was not experienced enough and didn''t know how to answer, for fear that he would


    divulge the secret.


    He was not as mature and responsible as Brock.


    Nigel said, "Can you wait any longer?"


    Natalie said, "If you''re busy, I won''t trouble you. I''ll be back tomorrow anyway."


    She hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and rushed towards Wonder Vi.


    It was autumn in Goldburg, so it got dark early. The streetlights were dim.


    It took more than an hour to go downtown from the suburbs.


    She was driving on the road alone.


    Natalie was still focused on driving.


    But she couldn''t control the disturbing thoughts in her heart.


    Today was the weekend. Ashlynn and Baron were all on vacation.


    It was extraordinarily quiet when she got home. She input the code and opened the door to see a


    stream of blood on the ground. "He must have been seriously injured." Natalie thought and rushed


    upstairs without changing her shoes.


    When she was on thending, she heard Brock''s voice. "The doctor can''te! Why?"


    He hurried downstairs and saw Natalie on the stairs.


    Brock was quite startled. Natalie rushed over and asked, "What happened? Is Kendrick injured?"


    Then she saw that Brock''s sleeves were soaked in blood, and his coat was also stained.


    The scene hit her like a thunderbolt. She pushed Brock aside and rushed into the bedroom. She smelt


    blood and saw Kendrick lying back against the pillows. His white shirt was stained with blood and he


    was so pale.


    Natalie rushed in front of him and was speechless for a moment.


    Kendrick was a little confused due to blood loss, though he could still see Natalie. He frowned and


    opened his mouth when Natalie stopped him. "Don''t speak."


    Natalie checked and found a deep wound on his left leg. After she dressed the wound, the bleeding just


    couldn''t be stopped.


    The left shoulder of his shirt was torn. Thankfully, his shoulder was not seriously wounded.


    "Then the blood on him is..." Natalie pondered.


    Natalie looked back and asked Brock, "Will the doctore?"


    Brock nodded. "Nigel is driving the doctor here."


    Natalie calmly said, "You go to themunity hospital to have your wound dressed. I''ll take care of


    him."


    "I''ll wait for the doctor." Brock didn''t move, thinking, "My employer is not out of danger. I can''t leave."


    Natalie gave him a sharp nce. "What can you do here? Do you know how to stitch the cut? Take


    care of yourself first. I have no time for you!"


    She went downstairs and quickly got the medicine box. She had put many necessary medicines into


    the box before, including surgical sutures.


    Brock watched her pat Kendrick''s face and softly call his name.


    "There is no anesthetic, so bear with it." Natalie said, "I''ll treat your shoulder first."


    The shoulder only had a superficial wound, and no muscles or fascia were wounded. She simply


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    sterilized and bandaged it.


    Brock hadn''t left yet and asked her if she needed help. Anyway, he also knew a bit about dressing


    wounds.


    Natalie turned around and said, "Take care of your hand. Do you want it to be paralyzed?"


    Brock was speechless. Natalie said in a deep voice, "I''m here. Don''t worry. The doctor should be here


    soon."


    Just as Brock opened his mouth, he heard Kendrick''s voice. "Brock, go and treat your wound first."


    Natalie stood up and ran out to bring a small towel back to treat his leg wound. She started to untie his


    pants, but the man''s belt was soplicated for her that she couldn''t untie it.


    Natalie coughed and said, "Take it off yourself. Do you have any strength?"


    Kendrick was speechless.


    "Don''t hesitate. You don''t want to die, do you?" Natalie reached out her hand to zip his pants again.


    Kendrick stopped her and untied the belt himself. He quickly took his pants off and felt pain in his leg.


    When Natalie disinfected his wound with alcohol, he came out in cold sweat with pain.


    "Open your mouth," Natalie said.


    When Kendrick obediently opened his mouth, a towel was stuffed into his mouth.


    "I''ll stitch your wound. I don''t have anesthesia, so bear with it." She took out the medical surgical suture


    and began to stitch the wound.


    Brock must have protected Kendrick from being beaten seriously. That was why Kendrick had no fatal


    wounds except for his shoulders and legs.


    She looked at his face soaked in cold sweat and said, "It''ll be over soon."


    Kendrick had to ovee the pain. Now his legs have recovered consciousness, so the pain became


    much intenser. But luckily, the cut avoided the main artery.


    Natalie stitched it, with scissors in one hand and a tweezer in the other. Brock was driven away by her.


    She found it hard to tie a knot after many attempts. Finally, she brought her head down to Kendrick''s


    knees, bit the thread, and tied a knot.


    Kendrick felt her breath on her legs. He was painful and embarrassed at the same time.


    Nigel''s voice came from outside. "Dr. Foley, hurry up! He is dying."


    Nigel pushed the door open to see the most shocking scene of his life.


    His boss, lying in bed with a small towel in his mouth when Natalie was kneeling on the ground with her


    face between Kendrick''s legs.

 Chapter 106 Mrs. Ramsey, Are You a Surgeon?

    Chapter 106Mrs. Ramsey, Are You a Surgeon?


    Chapter 106 Mrs. Ramsey, Are You a Surgeon?


    Nigel quickly recovered from his shock, stepped back, and closed the door. He turned around and said


    to the doctor and his assistant, "Wait a minute!"


    Always keeping calm was the basic quality of a president''s assistant.


    Nigel knocked cautiously on the door and asked, "Boss, the doctor is here. Can wee in?" He


    hoped Kendrick didn''t see his reckless behavior just now, for fear that he would "lose" his eyes.


    Natalie cut the suture and heaved a sigh of relief. She forgot that she was still lying between the


    Kendrick''s legs.


    She wanted to get up when Kendrick grabbed her. Natalie thought he was still in pain, so she raised


    her face and said, "Your wound has been stitched up. I''ll let the doctor in."


    She straightened up and identally let her eyes fall on somewhere in his body. She turned her face


    away, feeling her cheeks burning.


    Nigel knocked on the door again, thinking anxiously, "Come on! It''s not the time yet. He''s dying."


    Natalie opened the door and went out with a sweaty face. She said in a hoarse voice, "Go in and treat


    his shoulder. Give him an injection of immunoglobulin."


    The doctor hurriedly bypassed Nigel. Nigel wanted to go in, but Natalie grabbed him by the cor.


    "What are you going in for?" Natalie frowned and said coldly, "Except to cause infection."


    She let go of him and said, narrowing her eyes, "Go downstairs with me. I have something to ask you


    about."


    Being stared at, Nigel stood perfectly still, thinking, "Where did Brock go? Why hasn''t hee back?"


    "Why is he injured? How did he get injured? Did you catch the attacker? Who is behind the attack?"


    Natalie asked while wiping the blood off her hands with a wet towel.


    A series of questions made Nigel freeze. Anyway, he had been trained, answering, "The attacker has


    been caught, but we haven''t known who is behind this."


    "You didn''t answer my first two questions!"


    "One of the murderers is a poor student who was sponsored by Kendrick. He said he wanted to


    express his gratitude and got a chance to approach Kendrick. Unexpectedly..."


    Natalie frowned. "Is he underage?"


    "Yes, both of them are 16-year-old high school boys. The sulfuric acid was also taken from the school''s


    chemistryboratory!"


    People tended to be off guard when it came to minors.


    Natalie frowned. "Does Kendrick refuse to go to the hospital?"


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Lin nodded. "If he is photographed, it will cause vtility of the stock price of Ramsey Group.


    Moreover, there would be rumors."


    It was the critical moment of struggling for power. Kendrick didn''t want to raise new issues.


    Natalie pursed her lips. Seeing theplicated look on her face, Nigel didn''t dare to say more.


    Natalie threw the towel into the trash can and said, "Nigel, you may go back!"


    "I want to stay. If..."


    "The wound has been treated. He''s fine. Do you have anything to report to him?" Natalie said.


    "No."


    "Then go back. I will contact you if we need your help." Natalie signaled him to leave.


    "Okay!"


    Not long after Nigel left, Brock had his wound stitched and returned.


    "Is...he okay?"


    "The doctor is treating him. The wound is not very deep. He''s safe," Natalie said.


    It was not so deep as Brock''s wound.


    Brock had raised his arm to prevent Kendrick from being knocked by a fatal blow in the neck.


    Natalie brought him the special ointment from her room and said, "Apply the ointment after you get


    home. It can help your wound to heal."


    The ointment had been given to her by Kendrick. Brock didn''t take it, knowing the ointment was a


    special drug that had not been listed. The price of it was tens of thousands of dors. In addition, it was


    prohibited in the country, and almost no one has ess to buy it.


    "I can''t take this."


    "I still have a new one," Natalieforted.


    "You''re badly injured because of him. You shall take good care of yourself, or he''ll feel guilty."


    Her exnation was fair. Brock epted it and thanked her.


    The doctor came downstairs and said that the wound had been treated properly and immunoglobulin


    had been injected. He then gave some precautions.


    Natalie asked the doctor for some anti-inmmatory drugs. The doctor asked curiously, "Mrs. Ramsey,


    are you also a surgeon?"


    He was surprised that the cut was stitched so perfectly that it would not leave any scar.


    Natalie took the anti-inmmatory drugs and said with a smile. "I just happened to have learned wound


    treatment."


    Natalie turned around and went upstairs, saying to Block, "Brock, could you please call a taxi for the


    doctor?"


    ...


    Kendrick leaned against the pillow in a daze.


    He was a tidy person.


    Now that his clothes and the sheets were stained with blood, he couldn''t sleep at all.


    Natalie couldn''t do it alone, so she called Baron back to help.


    She carried a basin of hot water, soaked a towel in it, and silently wiped the blood off his face.


    Kendrick''s eyelids were quite heavy, his lips were colorless, and he had no strength to speak.


    When his face felt the warmth from the towel, he struggled to open his eyes and saw Natalie''s tight lips


    and her furrowed eyebrows.


    Kendrick started to think, "Her eyebrows are usually in a beautiful curve.


    Now her drooping eyebrows make her look serious and cold."


    Feeling Kendrick''s gaze, Natalie remained still expressionless.


    It was because the facial muscles became stiff after mental tension, making it difficult to make any


    expressions.


    Moreover, how could sheugh at his situation?


    She cleaned Kendrick''s face, keeping a cold face, which made him uneasy. Then he furrowed his


    brows and gasped.


    "Is your wound hurting?" Natalie finally spoke.


    "Hmm." Kendrick nodded.


    "Bear with it." Natalie said helplessly, "Let''s see until tonight, and you don''t take painkillers."


    She pulled her face to rx the tense muscles, then looked at him again and said, "When you get


    injured next time, go to the hospital right away."


    "It''s not a serious injury." Kendrick''s voice was hoarse.


    "Don''t have luck." Natalie warned, "What if the doctor didn''te in time and the wound was infected?


    Is the stock price of Ramsey Group more important than your life?"


    Kendrick finally knew why she got angry!


    "This is not a small matter! "She emphasized.


    Kendrick didn''t speak.


    Just now he heard her scolding Nigel fiercely.


    And her face looked unhappy since she came in.


    Kendrick dared not refute her now.


    "It didn''t hurt your bones, and I can still help you stitch the cut." She wrung the towel dry again, put his


    hand in her palm, and cleaned the stains between his fingers." But I can''t treat all kinds of wounds."


    Kendrick pursed his lips.


    Natalie stared at him, thinking, "He has many questions about me.


    Just raise them. Is that so strange that I can sew up a wound?"


    She waited but didn''t hear Kendrick speak. Then she said, "Do you have anything to say?"

 Chapter 107 Stay with Me

    Chapter 107 Stay with Me


    Chapter 107 Stay with Me


    Kendrick said, "No."


    Natalie got up. "I''ll get a new bowl of water."


    When she came back, she saw Baron rushing back. Together, the two changed the sheets. Baron saw


    her sweaty face and her stained clothes and said, "Mrs. Ramsey, you may tidy yourself up. Leave this


    to me."


    Before Natalie could speak, her stomach convulsed. The sudden pain almost made her call out.


    Baron saw her face and was about to say something.


    Natalie stopped him. "Be careful not to touch his wound."


    "Don''t worry, I will be careful."


    "Okay, I''ll go wash my face."


    It was already nine o''clock in the evening, but Natalie didn''t eat after this noon. No eatingbined


    with mental tension could easily lead to stomach cramps.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She hurried out of the room. Steadying herself with one hand against the wall, she bit her hand as the


    pain surged up.


    Suddenly, her hands and feet felt cold and numb, and she couldn''t even walk. She slid down against


    the wall and sat on the ground, huddling herself up to suppress the pain.


    After her hands regained consciousness, she pressed Point Liangqiu with her thumb to calm down.


    As the pain dissipated, she was soaked in sweat, gasping heavily. Then she struggled to get up and


    walked towards her room.


    ...


    Baron helped Kendrick change into a loose ck nightgown.


    When seeing Kendrick''s wound, he almost sobbed, thinking, "Mr. Ramsey''s legs have just gained


    consciousness. Why should he suffer this again?"


    He couldn''t help but ask, "Was it Melvin who did this?" Melvin was Kendrick''s uncle.


    Kendrick was silent. He doubted that, too, but she had no evidence yet.


    Baron gritted his teeth. "If it was him, I''ll deal with him at the risk of my life. For these years, you have


    treated him with respect, but he has always been hard on you, despite the fact that you''re his nephew."


    Kendrick interrupted, "I will deal with this myself." He closed his eyes and recalled the scene.


    That teenager had seemed to be aiming at his legs. When the teenager approached him and bent over,


    he took out the knife from his sleeve and stabbed at his legs.


    Hispanion took a bottle of sulfuric acid to help him to escape. The two cooperated with each other.


    Obviously, the person behind the attack had been well-prepared and even instigated minors tomit


    crimes.


    Kendrick opened his eyes, his eyes filled with chilling coldness.


    The door was pushed open again by Natalie. She had changed into clean long-sleeved pajamas, with


    her long hair hanging on her shoulders.


    She was holding a cup of brewed protein powder.


    Kendrick signaled Baron to take away the dirty clothes and sheets.


    Baron immediately picked up theundry basket and went out.


    Natalie sat down by the bed, and now her face had returned to normal. "I made you a cup of brewed


    protein powder. It can help your wound."


    Kendrick smelt it and frowned slightly. He didn''t feel like drinking it. "Is there nothing else?" he asked.


    "It''s the best for you now." Natalie put the cup to his lips. She did not back down on some issues.


    "Take a painkiller after drinking it," Natalie looked at the time and said.


    Kendrick finished the cup of brewed protein powder.


    The protein had a slightly unpleasant smell and it revolted him since he had smelt blood for so long.


    Natalie took out a tissue to wipe his mouth. Looking at his pale face, she sighed silently.


    But now she didn''t ask before he had a good rest.


    She caressed his cheek and said, "Sleep early tonight." Kendrick frowned and held her wrist.


    "What''s wrong?" Natalie asked.


    "The doctor said that I might have a fever at night due to the inmmation of the wound."


    "I''ll be in the next room. You can call me," Natalie said gently.


    Kendrick stared at her. "Stay with me."


    "I''m afraid I will touch your wound." Natalie was worried.


    Right now, his wound was hurting badly, so he didn''t have the strength to speak anymore. He just


    grabbed her hand and didn''t let go.


    Natalie had no choice. She fed him a painkiller and anti-inmmatory drug, then took out the


    antipyretics and put them on the tea table. "I''ll stay with you for a while."


    She was going to get him to sleep before leaving because she was afraid she would touch his wound


    when sleeping.


    Natalieid down the pillow and helped him lie down. She slid into the nket and turned off the light.


    She wanted to wait for Kendrick to fall asleep and left. But she had been exhausted all day.


    As soon as shey down, she was out like a light.


    ...


    When Natalie slept soundly at night, she heard a voice.


    She woke up and heard Kendrick saying, "Water..." He repeated it again.


    Natalie turned on the light. She poured a small cup of warm water to feed him. When her fingers


    touched his hot cheek, she was not surprised that he had a fever. Fortunately, it was not a high fever.


    She picked up the anti-fever medicine to feed him.


    Kendrick was in a daze, the wound was hurting him, and he waspletely unconscious.


    Natalie melted the powder into the water and carefully fed it to him with a spoon.


    But Kendrick didn''t even open his mouth.


    Natalie wished she could open his mouth and pour the medicine in, but she didn''t have the heart to do


    so.


    She heaved a sigh. She took a sip of the medicine, put her lips next to his, and patted his face, saying,


    "Open your mouth."


    Feeling the touch, Kendrick gained his consciousness and opened his mouth.


    It took Natalie at least five minutes to feed him the anti-fever medicine.


    Natalie returned to bed and turned off the lights, but now she was not sleepy anymore.


    Five minutester, she touched his forehead and found his fever was gone.


    In fact, Natalie hadn''t taken care of anyone like this before. This work was what nurses did.


    The pain in the wound made Kendrick sleep badly. He was being troubled by nightmares and


    murmuring.


    But Natalie couldn''t hear his words clearly.


    Natalie guessed that he was affected by what had happened on the day and dreamed of something


    bad.


    She carefully hugged him, gently patting his face and saying, "Kendrick, are you having a nightmare?"


    Natalie thought she heard Kendrick give a snort.


    Natalie held him in her arms, patted his back and whispered in his ears, "It''s okay. Don''t be afraid, I''m


    here."


    Kendrick gradually quieted down. Then Natalie felt a hand around her waist.


    Kendrick got deeper into her arms and pressed his face against hers, seeming to feel secure.


    Natalie dared not move, given his injuries.


    After a long while, Natalie was going to let go of him to sleep.


    Suddenly, Natalie felt cold and found her pajamas were lifted up.

 Chapter 108 He was Like a Little Pet

    Chapter 108 He was Like a Little Pet


    Chapter 108 He Was Like A Little Pet


    Natalie was stunned.


    But Kendrick didn¡¯t seem to do anything more. Instead, he put his face to her obediently and listened to


    her heartbeat.


    She thought that he just wanted to feel secure as he had a nightmare.


    But soon something went wrong.


    He rubbed against her with the tip of his nose.


    And then he started to lick like a little pet.


    She became speechless, "..."


    She was dumbfounded.


    What was that?


    Subconsciously, she wanted to say no to his licking.


    However, she heard him snort, "It hurts..."


    He looked wronged and weak.


    She dared not make unexpected movements at the moment for fear that she should tear his wound. As


    she hesitated, he had already started to do whatever he wanted.


    The moonlight streamed in through the window.


    She had lost her mind. Finally, she heard the sound of his sucking and his soft murmur, "Nat..."


    He was calling her name.


    ...


    Natalie woke up early in the morning.


    She had stood at the washstand for a full-twenty-minute.


    She didn''t take out the washcloth to clean her face until the foam was dry on her face and her skin


    became tight.


    When she thought that Kendrick rubbed himself against her like a little petst night, her face was


    burning.


    She had reasons to suspect that he had nned it for a long while.


    After washing her face, she was in a daze again when she sat in front of the dressing table and applied


    skin lotion to herself.


    If it weren''t for the fear that she might tear his wounds, she wouldn''t allow him to take an ell.


    After patting her face, she lifted her clothes and had a check. She seemed to have a scratch a bit. No


    wonder she felt a little hurt this morning.


    She clenched her fist silently.


    There was a knocking on the door.


    It was Ashlynn. She said that the breakfast was ready and that she might trouble Natalie for bringing it


    into Kendrick''s room.


    He got an injury in his right shoulder, making him awkward to eat.


    Natalie looked back and asked with her eyes lowering, "Where''s Baron?"


    She wanted Baron to help him eating.


    Now she didn''t want to see him much.


    "Baron just went out." answered Ashlynn.


    "He can eat with one hand." Natalie gestured and showed Ashlynn how to do that with her left hand.


    "..." Ashlynn was stunned for a long while before she said with a gloomy face, "Mrs. Ramsey, I dare not


    say that to Mr. Ramsey."


    Natalie got up.


    She went to the shelf outside the door to pick up the tray and pushed the door open.


    Kendrick leaned against the head of the bed, looking much better thanst night.


    As he saw hering inside, he frowned slightly, "Did you go backst night?"


    She looked up to him, finding that he was calm. Except that he was a little upset when he woke up in


    the morning and didn''t see her by his side, he didn''t show many feelings.


    "Yeah. I left in the middle of the night." She said, "I was worried that I might touch your wound. I didn''t


    sleep well."


    He didn''t say anything more.


    After staring at her for a while, he found that she avoided eye contact instead of looking at him.


    She handed the cup to his mouth. It reminded her of something when she saw him taking a sip of the


    milk and protruding the tip of his tongue to lick the milk on his lips, and she turned her face away


    immediately.


    And then she peeled the eggs in silence.


    He took a little bite of the egg. Seeing that she was absent-minded with her eyes downcast, he raised


    her chin and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"


    And then she met his gaze.


    She was quite puzzled.


    Was she too innocent?


    He just kissed her from her neck down to the waist up. She felt shy even when she thought about it.


    How could he be so calm?


    Could he forget about it!


    She cleared her throat, "You had a little feverst night."


    "Yeah, I had a nightmare." responded he.


    She became wide-eyed, "Did you dream of anything?"


    "I don''t remember." He frowned, "It is not fresh in my memory."


    Sure enough!


    He just yed with her body.


    And then he forgot everything.


    Seeing her changing expression, he slightly squinted and eyed her for a while. As he settled his eyes


    on her neck, he found no mark there. He raised his eyebrows, "Last night, I..."


    She foisted the remaining half of the egg into his mouth directly.


    ...


    At ten o''clock, Natalie changed dressings for Kendrick.


    The specific surgical dressings had a strong effect. She applied itst night and found that the wound


    recovered obviously.


    She applied the dressings to his wound carefully with a cotton swab and said, "I heard from Nigel that


    those who hurt you were two underage high school students?"


    "That''s right. They are two poverty-stricken students sponsored by the group, instigated by someone."


    said he.


    "Do you straighten it out?" asked she.


    Hearing that, he pursed his lips.


    It was not hard to guess the truth.


    What had happened should have something to do with Melvin.


    He turned to her and promised, "It was because of my carelessness this time. Well, none of this will


    happen again."


    "You always say that I hurt myself," she curled her lips, "please don''t make yourself in danger. Well,


    you just start to feel your legs. What should we do if you hurt your nerves again?"


    He lowered his eyes and looked at the wound on his leg.


    She sewed it in a rather delicate manner.


    Obviously, she was quite an expert.


    Even Dr. Foley said the wound was properly treated when he saw it.


    Kendrick was thinking about something.


    Many questions thronged on his mind.


    She always left him many confusions and secrets.


    However, if he asked, he was sure she would make a lot of excuses to avoid the questions. After all,


    she was a really quick thinker.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    If he asked her this time, he felt she would say that she used to be hurt a lot in the family so she could


    deal with her wounds.


    He cleared his throat, "Dr. Foley told me yesterday that the wound was treated properly."


    She nodded, "Well, I used to get hurt rather frequently in the Quinn family and thus I learned how to


    handle those wounds."


    Hearing that, he had a deep and dark look. He touched the top of her hair and said, "Thank you."


    He thought that a man should be sensible to see the big picture.


    If she refused to talk about it, pressing her wouldn''t do anything good but stiffen their rtionship.


    But as for something he wanted to know, he always had a way to find out.


    His deep look disappeared and then he touched her head again, saying, "Will you get theptop for


    me?"


    Hearing that, she became wide-eyed immediately, "You want to work?"


    "Yeah. The strategic n for Quarter 4 needs toe out today."


    "No. Look, you haven''t recovered and you should take more rest."


    "I have promised to hand it in today." said he gently.


    As someone responsible for the strategy, once he dyed, the subsequent projects would then be put


    off. Many of his subordinates were waiting for his n to be implemented.


    She frowned, "Can''t Nigel and his colleagues write for you?"


    He smiled, "As for the strategic n, well, they just can''t keep up with my thinking, nor meet my


    requirements."


    Right right. What a demanding man.


    He stared at her face for a while and said, "Write it for me."


    She could follow his thoughts.


    They could be on the same wavelength.


    "What?" Natalie looked at him.


    He just squeezed her instead of his assistants and subordinates.


    That was the capitalist, wasn''t it?


    He just didn''t leave his wife alone!


    However, didn''t his focus and responsibility make her like him in the first ce?


    She chose him to be her Mr. Right.


    Just put up with his own way!


    She mumbled, "All right. I will take theptop."


    She took theptop back and opened it as she sat on the bedside. She found him saying with a smile,


    "Don''t be that upset. Well, you won''t write it in vain. I will give you a gift..." He added after a pause, "But


    it will take some time."


    She asked subconsciously, "What?"


    "The Ramsey Group." said he.

 Chapter 109 You are Mine

    Chapter 109 You are Mine


    Chapter 109 You are Mine


    Kendrick felt that he was bound to win the Ramsey Group.


    At first it was a kind of confidence.


    He was confident that he would bring the group to the top.


    However, at the height of the business, he was the only one there.


    But it was different now. He got someone he wanted to share with.


    He wanted to hold her hand and enjoy the prosperity and beauty of the world with her.


    The group and she were both his.


    Natalie was stunned. As she had read the original book, certainly she was clear how important Ramsey


    Group was to a man like him who was supposed to shut out any love and be devoted to his career.


    At the moment, he made such a promise to her.


    Could it mean that she was more important than the group in his heart?


    Of course, she wouldn''t be that stupid to ask him which was the more significant one.


    Certainly, she was capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with him.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said after a serious thinking, "Ramsey Group is yours." She rolled her lips


    with love in her eyes. She looked as gentle as the river, "And you are mine."


    And that was enough for her.


    Seeing her gentle look, Kendrick would just kiss her if it wasn''t for the injury in his shoulder.


    ...


    Natalie followed Kendrick''s thoughts to make a strategic n.


    She was bright, quick to get his point.


    He pointed to the screen and said, "Make some changes here." Soon his phone rang. It was Brock.


    He turned on the speaker.


    So Natalie could hear their conversation clearly.


    Brock had found out preliminarily that what had happened was closely rted to Melvin.


    He would keep gathering evidence.


    Kendrick frowned deeply after hearing that.


    He and Melvin had maintained a superficial harmony before that and it could even say that he


    respected Melvin a lot. But in recent years, his outstanding ability and achievements showing in his


    work had naturally made Melvin look rather ipetent and useless.


    Especially after Nancy was pushed out, Melvin gained power on the surface.


    But in fact, Kendrick was the real winner.


    As he and Melvin had conflict before, Melvin just harbored a great dislike for him.


    Kendrick hung up the phone.


    He found that Natalie had a murderous look. She gnashed her teeth and said, "It does have something


    to do with him. How dare he instigate minors to hurt you?"


    Kendrick pursed his thin lips tightly with a serious look.


    "Does grandpa know about your injury?"


    "No yet."


    "I will tell him!"


    Kendrick looked up to her and said, "Nat, leave it alone." He lowered his voice, "Don''t get involved."


    She put the notebook at the bedside and jumped to her feet, saying, "How can I leave it alone? Melvin


    intends to kill you and I can''t bear it." She became so infuriated, "I mean, at this time, how can''t I get


    involved? In the eyes of those outsiders, we are one. Certainly your pain is my pain."


    "Besides..." Natalie sat down again and their eyes became level. She said solemnly with a serious look,


    "I have told you at the beginning that I will face and move together with you."


    Kendrick frowned deeply, "Look, I will find a way to tell grandpa. Just don''t worry. I will handle it well."


    "It''s different." She held his hand and said, "Why don''t I just tell him, if you want to do that? Will you cry


    and ask grandpa to save you?"


    Kendrick was speechless, "..."


    "I know you won''t. You will only say that the injury is not serious and it does not affect the group''s stock


    price."


    "..."


    "Just look at Melvin. How crafty he is. Whenever he makes a mistake, he will just mention his mother


    who has passed away for many years. And then your grandpa''s heart will be softened." She was


    analyzing, "The squeaky wheel gets the upgrade grease. But you won''t cry and just swallow your


    grievances instead."


    She reached out to caress his face and said in a gentle voice, "You just never show it, no matter how


    badly you are hurt or how sad you are. That''s why your grandpa keeps training you. But you have to


    say it if you feel the pain, just like what you did to mest night..."


    Last night she was tricked by his expressions of being hurt.


    And then he got her, well, her body with his mouth.


    Natalie coughed lightly, "Look, you have to speak your grievances out, otherwise no one will know."


    Kendrick remained silent.


    "I''ll tell grandpa when I have evidence."


    He still disagreed with her.


    "How about tossing a coin? I''ll go for a head and you go for a tail." Natalie said, "We''ll leave it to God to


    decide!"


    How could she have so many tricks?


    Really, he had never seen someone like her before.


    The coin was thrown into the sky.


    It fell on the bed. The coin showed the head.


    "Just admit defeat for bet, Mr. Ramsey." said Natalie.


    As it was head when she tossed the coin, the coin would be more likely to present the head when it fell.


    If she controlled her force to throw the coin and made it turn three times in the air before it fell on the


    bed, she would get what she wanted.


    She had yed it many times.


    And she hardly lost.


    ...


    The autumn rain was beating on the windows.


    It became colder and colder in Goldburg for days.


    The wind was so strong at night that it seemed to cut right through people''s faces when it blew in them.


    Seth sat reading in the study.


    He had gradually stepped back from power because of his health over the past few years. But he was


    still so possessive.


    He had three sons and a daughter.


    The eldest son was a conservative conformist.


    The second son died young.


    The other two were not worth mentioning.


    Among his grandchildren, Brett, his favorite one, showed no interest in business instead.


    Only Kendrick.


    He was the jewel in the crown, brilliant but not ring at all.


    But Seth hesitated.


    If Kendrick was in perfect health, Seth wouldn''t have any hesitation or worry to give Kendrick the group


    As Seth was thinking about it, there was a knocking at the door.


    Edgar, the butler, knocked on the door of the study and said, "Mr. Seth, Mrs. Ramsey is here."


    Seth looked at the time and said in puzzlement, "It''s prettyte now. Why is sheing?"


    "Well, I don''t know yet. It''s raining hard outside. She is soaked through and crying, without saying the


    reason to be here."


    "Let her in then."


    "All right."


    Seth pretty much liked this clever granddaughter-inw who could always get round people.


    As he found that she came inside sobbing and that she looked like a drowned rat, he asked her


    hurriedly, "What''s wrong? What''s it then?"


    "Grandpa," Natalie''s voice choked, but she still spoke out clearly, "Kendrick is seriously injured.


    Someone wants to kill him. Well, I am scared. Please save us!"


    Hearing that, Seth stood up and said in a solemn voice, "Injured? Well, don''t cry. Just tell me what has


    happened, all right?"


    She told him everything specifically.


    "Kendrick refused to go to the hospital because he was afraid of affecting the stock price of the group.


    Instead, he asked a doctor toe to our house for treatment. Well, we have been keeping it a secret


    for fear that you should worry. But I''m so scared," She looked at Seth''s face out of the corner of her


    eyes as she cried, moving on, "that I juste here. Sorry to interrupt your rest. Will you me me,


    grandpa?"


    "No. How can I do that? Well, Kendrick shouldn''t have kept such a serious issue from me." Seth had a


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    worried look on his face, "How is he now?"


    "The wound has been treated and he is all right for now. He woke up in the morning, but he is still in his


    lethargy."


    Hearing that, he became a little rxed and then he asked, "Who did it? Have you found out?"


    She chewed her lips and her tone showed a great note of horror. She tried to suppress her sob and


    said, "I dare not say."

 Chapter 110 Two Peas in a Pod

    Chapter 110 Two Peas in a Pod


    Chapter 110 Two Peas in a Pod


    Seth''s face darkened. He said in a magisterial voice, "What are you afraid of?"


    Natalie lowered her eyes, as if she didn''t dare to look at him.


    "It involves human life. So important. Just don''t hesitate and speak it out."


    As he was an impetuous fellow, he just hated something like that.


    But she was waiting.


    The light of the study fell on her, making her poorer as she was soaked through. She just raised her


    face slowly and her tearful eyes were reddish about the rims.


    "It''s..."


    There was a rattling at the door.


    "Let go of me. Let me in."


    Melvin''s violent voice swelled from outside.


    Sure enough, the idiot came here impatiently.


    Before she arrived, she revealed to Melvin the fact that she would go here. She was sure that he would


    alsoe here as he felt guilty.


    The door was pushed open vigorously. Melvin just ignored the persuasion and directly went in. He


    walked towards Natalie fiercely as he saw her.


    Seeing that, she was terrified. She screamed and hurriedly ran behind Seth, "Grandpa, he wants to kill


    me."


    Seth pounded the table and scolded Melvin, "What are you doing?"


    Melvin stared at her with his bloodshot eyes. He pointed at her and said to Seth, "Dad, just don''t


    believe what she has said. Kendrick''s injury has nothing to do with me."


    She hid behind Seth with coldness showing in her eyes.


    Well, well Melvin!


    You just confessed without torture, didn''t you?


    "Melvin, the news of Kendrick''s injury is not revealed to the public. Then how do you know about it?"


    Melvin was speechless, "..."


    "That''s none of your business." He had a glib tongue, "All I know is that you harbor evil intentions and


    want to have dirt on me."


    He turned to Seth after saying that. He lidded his eyes quickly with an aggrieved look, "Dad, just don''t


    listen to an outsider''s nder and wrong your own son!"


    "She has said nothing." Seth stared at his useless son with his breath bing fast. He pounded the


    table and asked angrily, "Did you do this or not?"


    Melvin looked at Natalie who was behind Seth, which made her so scared that she lowered her eyes.


    He thought quickly in his mind.


    So she came here toin without saying anything about him.


    He was sure that she had no evidence.


    Otherwise, she would have spoken it out.


    Thinking about it, Melvin denied the question confidently, "It has nothing to do with me. I swear."


    And then he started his old trick again and sobbed out, "Dad, I''m sure mom won''t wrong her child if she


    were still alive."


    Natalie sneered and clicked the phone to y the audio.


    "For god''s sake, I must kill him this time, otherwise I can''t take the aggravation. I find that he recently


    goes to the neurological clinic rather frequently. Well, I don''t know if his legs are all right. This time you


    can just ask your men to have a check. Probably he just pretends it. Two high school students? Well,


    good, good idea! Isn''t he always keen on charity education? Just let him blunder in his work!"


    Melvin was dumbfounded.


    He didn''t expect that she would keep the record in her hand and y it at that moment.


    She squinted her eyes slightly, showing great coldness.


    Well, Melvin, you asked your men to hurt Kendrick, dared not admit it, lied and even used your own


    mother to fend for yourself.


    This time, even though you survived, you would be greatly hurt.


    "Bang"


    A bone china teacup flew over and hit the wall behind Melvin, falling to pieces in an instant.


    Seth was furious, "You wretch... you..." He became so angry that he couldn''t express his rage with any


    words and could only pound the table wildly.


    Edgar, the butler, hurried in and patted Seth on the back, "Calm down. Your health matters."


    "Edgar, bring me my crutch."


    "Mr. Seth, although Melvin makes an unforgivable mistake, after all he..." said Edgar immediately.


    "Go and get it!"


    Seth walked up to his son Melvin and kicked him on his shins to make him kneel down.


    Was the showing?


    Natalie watched silently.


    She was thinking about how to add the fuel to the me.


    Melvin held his father''s thigh, flustered and frightened, "Dad, I was wrong. But it was not my fault.


    Kendrick. Kendrick provoked me first. He asked his bodyguards to hurt me and hang me in the garage.


    I was so angry about that. But what I have said are just words in a fit of rage. I never want to kill him."


    He pulled off his sleeve and pointed to his arm, saying, "Look, his men beat me like that. I just can''t be


    bullied and not fight back, can I!"


    Immediately, Natalie stepped forward and said, "That''s because you spoke rudely to grandpa."


    She looked at Seth and no longer showed any signs of cowardice, "Grandpa, Melvin has said to


    Kendrick like, ''You are just a cripple no matter how capable you are. Well, Seth will give me the group


    one day. And then I will kick you out of the board immediately, just like what I have done to Nancy.''"


    "Grandpa, you are in good health, but Melvin has already started to n the inheritance. How horrible it


    was! I mean, I was astonished when I heard it at the moment. He just talked about it in the hospital, a


    public ce. What if someone overheard it? So immediately I asked Brock to stop him."


    Melvin waspletely stunned.


    What the hell!


    Now he began to know what it meant to nt stolen goods today.


    Certainly birds of the same kind lived together!


    Two peas in a pod.


    She was as deep as Kendrick.


    "I have never said something like that!" Melvin tried to get out of it angrily.


    Although Natalie didn''t read the loveline carefully in the original book, she remembered the family''s


    internal struggles clearly.


    Melvin once drank and said that the group would be his sooner orter, which offended Seth.


    That was why she dared to say it.


    "Do you dare to swear that you have never said something like that at any time or ce?"


    "I..."


    At that time, Edgar had brought the crutch.


    Seth took it and hit Melvin directly on the back.


    Hearing the terrible wailing, Natalie felt great inexplicably.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    There was coldness on her face. As she watched the continuous blow, she did the timekeeping and


    then held Seth''s arm finally. She cried and said, "Grandpa, your health matters. Anger is not good for


    it."


    Seth was furious at the moment and shook her off.


    She just fell to the ground and hit her elbow. It hurt so much that she felt her blood froze.


    And then Seth stopped and asked if she was all right.


    She struggled to stand up and said, "I''m fine. Please calm down." She raised her hand to wipe the


    tears from her eyes, patted Seth on the back and begged, "Grandpa, why don''t we go and see


    Kendrick? He still mentioned you when he was in aa."


    Seth threw away his crutch and gasped for breath. He gradually calmed down after taking a few pills.


    "Let''s go then." It had drained Seth, but he still struggled walking out.


    Melvin was beaten so hard that he could not get up.


    Soon a pair of delicate little white shoes showed up in his view.


    He looked up.


    Natalie was looking at him with a condescending attitude.


    Her look was inscrutable to him. He could only feel great coldness, as if there were ice down through


    his limbs.


    And then he saw that she smiled a bit.


    She lifted her leg and stepped right over the back of his hand.

 Chapter 111 Seths Urge

    Chapter 111 Seth''s Urge


    Chapter 111 Seth''s Urge


    At ten o''clock at night.


    Kendrick received a text message.


    Seth wasing to visit him.


    He didn''t know what Natalie had said to Seth.


    However, he wasn''t very worried.


    He knew that although Natalie would asionally get angry, she always had a sense of propriety.


    It was just that they were in the Ramsey family, so it was inevitable that they would be drawn into such


    family disputes and conflicts.


    Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.


    Then Natalie''s voice sounded, "Grandpa, with your visit, Kendrick will definitely recover faster!"


    Leaning against the head of the bed, Kendrick smiled faintly.


    "This woman talks the talk again," he thought.


    The door was gently pushed open.


    Seth walked in and held out his hand. "Don''t move. Just lie on the bed!"


    Natalie cleverly pulled over a chair for Seth to sit down and said tactically, "I''ll leave you two alone."


    Seth said in a deep voice, "Natalie has already told me about this matter, and I generally know what


    happened. What are you nning to do?"


    After a short silence, Kendrick looked up and said in a gentle and respectful voice, "I''ll listen to you,


    Grandpa."


    "Why listen to me?" Seth said with a gloomy face, "It''s up to you. Whether you want to send Melvin to


    jail or kick him off the board is fine. What would you like to do to vent your anger? Just say it!"


    Kendrick frowned slightly. In the end, he said slowly, "I n to rest for some time." His tone was weak


    but sincere. "I''m really tired of dealing with so many things that have happened during this time. No


    matter how cruel Melvin is, he''s still my elder. I never thought of sending him to jail."


    He coughed several times, which made his wounds hurt again. He frowned in pain, but he still said


    orderly, "My existence threatens him. How about this? I''ll resign from Ramsey Group and retain only


    the shares. If needed, I can be a decision advisor."


    Kendrick would never jump into a trap. He would only retreat in order to advance.


    "Are you serious?"


    "Yes."


    Seth sighed, "It''s not your fault. Why should you resign?" With an exasperated expression, he said


    angrily, "Melvin is really a jerk!"


    He quickly calmed down and said, "Take a rest for a while. At the regr meeting next week, I will ask


    Melvin to publicly apologize to the shareholders and then take the me and resign. I will help you


    promote the M&A of Ramsey Technology to reduce your pressure."


    This actually gave Kendrick great support.


    Kendrick quickly thanked him.


    Seth pondered for a long time, and his gaze fell on the pillow beside Kendrick. "The matter of having a


    baby can be put on the agenda now. Do not focus solely on your work. Discuss it with Natalie. After all,


    she has been married to you for over a year."


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and didn''t speak. After a while, he looked up with his lips pursed and said,


    "Nat has been married to me for over a year, but I haven''t actually promised her anything. I''ve been in


    bad health for so long, but she doesn''t mind it at all.  She has been taking care of me wholeheartedly."


    Seth got his point. "Then arrange a position for her in Ramsey Group."


    Kendrick continued, "She is also particrly filial and respectful to you. She''s always very sensible.


    She has long been a member of the Ramsey family."


    After saying that, he thought to himself, "A position means nothing.


    Shares count the most."


    Seth was a little surprised. "Do you want to give her some shares?"


    ...


    Natalie was sitting on the sofa downstairs reading.


    Upon hearing footsteps, she put down the book in her hand and then saw Sething downstairs.


    "Grandpa, are you going back now?"


    "Yes. You should also rest earlier. Call me if anything happens," said Seth in a soft voice.


    "Okay."


    "Take good care of him," Seth warned, "I will handle this matter, so don''t be afraid. Did you hurt yourself


    from fall just now?"


    Natalie shook her head. "I''m fine. Grandpa, do not be angry. It''s bad for your health."


    She walked Seth out, handed him the gift bag, and said, "Grandpa, here are the nutritional


    supplements I specially selected for you. Take them back and eat them every day, and you won''t catch


    a cold in winter."


    Seth epted it and said, "Thank you."


    "Let me walk you to the parking lot!"


    "No, just go back." Seth waved his hand at her, and his voice softened unconsciously.


    Seth had experienced ups and downs throughout his life.


    He hadn''t expected to be cared about so attentively in hister years.


    Therefore, he would naturally feel somewhat touched.


    In the car, he said to Edgar, who was driving, "Contact the legal team leader for me tomorrow. I want to


    talk to him about some changes in shares."


    ...


    Natalie returned to the living room.


    She felt some pain in her elbow joint.


    It became ck and blue from her fall.


    She couldn''t help but think, "It''s really not easy to act phony!


    There is a price to pay.


    But I''m quite proud.


    After all, everything is within my n."


    She smiled at the thought and poured out a ss of milk. Then she went upstairs and brought it to


    Kendrick.


    "Grandpa has already left. Go to rest after drinking this ss of milk," said Natalie as she walked in


    with the ss of milk.


    Her smile was probably too obvious.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so happy?"


    Natalie sat next to him and described the scene vividly, "Your grandfather kicked Melvin down with one


    strike. Then he swung his cane and hit Melvin!"


    Evidently, she had been very happy while watching it.


    However, Kendrick''s expression was quite gloomy.


    He thought, "From now on, I willpletely embark on the path ofpeting for power. I will definitely


    take the whole Ramsey Group in control."


    "Why are you still unhappy?" Natalie looked at him and asked," Did Grandpa show his preference for


    Melvin again?"


    "No," said Kendrick, "he will ask Melvin to take the me and resign, and..."


    "And what?"


    "He agreed to give you some shares of Ramsey Group." Kendrick smiled. "You can enter Ramsey


    Group as a shareholder and directly participate in decision-making."


    "What deal did you make with him?"


    Natalie knew that Seth would not be so nice to her.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Suddenly, he said, "I promised him one thing."


    Natalie was curious.


    Kendrick said with a smile, "I promised to give him a great-grandson."


    Natalie''s eyes widened instantly.


    "What?"


    She thought, "How can he give birth to a baby?


    Isn''t that my business then?


    But..."


    Natalie covered her face with both hands.


    She blushed a little.


    Her reaction made Kendrickugh. He reached out and touched her head. "I was teasing you. Let''s talk


    about this in the future."


    Natalie blushed even more at that.


    She thought it sounded even stranger.


    "Drink your milk!" Natalie quickly handed him the ss of milk and said, "It''s not hot now."


    Kendrick took a sip of the milk and said, "You can start to consider which department you want to go to


    after entering Ramsey Group."


    Natalie held her small face with both hands and still felt a bit unreal. "Am I really going to get some


    shares of Ramsey Group?"


    "Yes. You said it yourself that you wanted to enter Ramsey Group as a decision-maker," said Kendrick.


    In fact, Natalie had just said it casually at that time.


    Kendrick, however, had taken her words to heart.


    He remembered many of the things she had inadvertently said.


    Cared for and cherished by him, Natalie knew that she was not the only one giving.


    Her heart rippled and softened, and she reached out to take the ss from Kendrick''s hand. Then she


    saw some milk stains on his lips. With some unknown impulse, she leaned over and gently wiped the


    stains off with the tip of her tongue.


    Kendrick immediately lifted his unharmed left hand, sped it around her neck, and kissed her.


    As he kissed deeper and deeper, his Adam''s apple rolled up and down unconsciously, and his eyes


    grew extremely dark.


    Soon, his hands began to move over her body.,

    Natalie reached out to stop him and said, "You haven''t recovered yet!"


    With his lips attaching to hers, Kendrick said in a deep and blurry voice, "Then be a good girl and don''t


    move!"

 Chapter 112 Seths Decision

    Chapter 112 Seth''s Decision


    Chapter 112 Seth''s Decision


    Natalie fell silent.


    She couldn''t help but think, "How can this man me me?


    I''ve really misjudged him."


    While she was thinking, her slender waist was seized by Kendrick.


    He felt quickly and deftly for the buttons on her back, and as his slender fingers flickered, he had them


    off in an instant.


    Natalie was stunned for a second and subconsciously tried to get up.


    Kendrick, however, reached out and pressed on her shoulder.


    "What?"


    He raised his eyebrows, pressed his thin lips to her ear, and gently dropped a word.


    He did not seem satisfied.


    His voice was deep and enchanting.


    It made Natalie feel that it would be a great disappointment if she tried to run away now.


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and kissed her lips again.


    At the same time, he twisted his fingertips upwards.


    Natalie waspletely stiff.


    She instantly clenched her hands tightly.


    In the end, Kendrick stopped himself, for he couldn''t help but gasp in pain because of his shoulder


    injury.


    Natalie was originally distressed for him.


    She looked up and wanted to say that she would help him apply some ointment. Unexpectedly, she


    heard him chuckle, "Why did you forget to breathe again?"


    Natalie swallowed her words.


    She met his dark eyes.


    The smile in his eyes was deep and mingled with jest.


    Kendrick raised his hand, gently touched her red lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "I was much gentler


    this time."


    He did not lie. He had not used any force just now. He had just gently stroked it.


    Natalie''s face flushed again.


    She became angry with embarrassment.


    She raised her hand and struck him on the jaw.


    Then she got up and left.


    Kendrick hadn''t expected that.


    He was stunned for a moment and raised his hand to touch his face.


    Then he chuckled softly.


    ...


    Soon, Kendrick was eating a bitter pill of his own making.


    Natalie asked Baron to feed him and change his dressing.


    The reason she gave was very grand.


    She said his wounds would heal faster that way.


    Although Baron did not know the necessary logical rtion between the two matters, he still listened to


    Natalie.


    Kendrick, of course, refused Baron to feed him face-to-face.


    As a result, he was forced to practice eating with one hand.


    Kendrick endured it for the first time.


    The second time, he simply could not pick up the food and mmed his fork directly into the tray.


    He thought with anger, "Forget it.


    I just did not control my hand, did I?


    Why should I suffer like this?"


    Kendrick was really annoyed this time and refused to eat directly.


    Natalie naturally had a way of dealing with him.


    She directly mixed a ss of nutritional supplement and said seriously, "It''s more convenient and


    useful to drink it this way. You can replenish all six nutrients by drinking this, and your wounds will


    definitely recover faster."


    Kendrick was so angry that he evenughed, "Did I offend you?"


    Natalie muttered, "You didn''t behave yourself."


    A few days earlier, Kendrick had pretended that his wounds hurt and lied to her, then said he did not


    remember.


    Yesterday, he even moved his hands over her body.


    Because of that, he suffered from wound dehiscence again.


    Kendrick silently picked up the ss, raised his face, and drank the extremely disgusting supplement.


    Natalie smiled and asked, "How is it? It tastes not bad, right?"


    She had specially made it for Kendrick.


    Carbohydrates and proteins were mixed ording to the optimal ratio.


    Kendrick replied with no expression, "It''s really delicious. Don''t let me drink it next time."


    Natalie was speechless for a while.


    ...


    Seth agreed to give Natalie some shares.


    Of course, it was a tiny fraction, not even worth mentioning.


    However, it gave her a lot of say.


    After signing his name on the equity change agreement, Seth asked Edgar, "Edgar, which department


    do you think is most suitable for Natalie?"


    Edgar pondered for a moment and gave a proper answer, "Mr. Seth, why not let her start with an intern


    for some time before deciding which department to put her in?"


    Seth shook his head. "She is smart and proud. How would she agree to start with an intern? I feel like


    she wants to make some great achievements."


    After saying that, he thought to himself, "She came to me andined on a rainy night.


    Despite suffering a lot of grievances, she spoke very clearly and logically.


    She''s a really smart girl!


    In such a short period of time, this girl has changed drastically, as if she had been reborn. She''s not as


    timid and timid as before. Instead, she has be bold, meticulous, and eloquent."


    Edgar continued, "Then why not ask Mr. Ramsey to make the arrangement? He knows Mrs. Ramsey


    the best."


    Seth thought again, "Could it be that she has changed a lot because she was trained by Kendrick?


    Kendrick is indeed very skilled at knowing and employing people."


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Seth dispelled his doubts and made up his mind. "Put her in Ramsey Fashion to exercise her!"


    Ramsey Fashion was an edge department.


    It could really exercise people.


    After saying that, Seth sighed, "The Ramsey family is sorge, but I actually cannot find anyone more


    capable than Kendrick."


    Edgar echoed, "Mr. Ramsey is indeed capable, proactive, and progressive. Of course, he was trained


    and promoted by you, Mr. Seth."


    Seth added, "I do have considered handing over Ramsey Group to him, but I still need to observe him


    for some time. I have to know whether he has the heart to tolerate others in the Ramsey family."


    The infighting within a wealthy family had always been cruel.


    It was not rare for a new generation of inheritors to directly deprive their elders of all their power and


    send them to prison.


    News that the new head of LK Group had forced his own brother to jump from a building in a scramble


    for power not so long ago had yet to subside.


    Edgar said tactfully, "Mr. Ramsey has suffered such serious injuries this time, but he can still forgive Mr.


    Melvin. He''s really a tolerant man."


    Seth said no more about this and handed him the document. "Go arrange it for me!"


    ...


    Natalie soon learned that she would be arranged into the marketing department of Ramsey Fashion.


    She was a little speechless.


    After all, she had not yet given her opinion.


    However, she had already been arranged.


    The reason she got was that after reading her resume, Seth thought this position was the most suitable


    for her.


    Natalie didn''t know what to say for a while.


    She thought, "In fact, I most want to work at Ramsey Biomedicine.


    But it doesn''t matter!


    My greatest strength is that I have strong adaptability and all-around ability.


    Therefore, wherever I''m ced, I can shine brightly."


    Natalie pored over Ramsey Fashion''s brochure.


    She then discovered that although it was called fashion, it was not, in fact, fashionable.


    Ramsey Fashion had acquired several beauty and skincare brands that had low visibility and poor


    sales.


    It had even published a monthly magazine called "Ramsey Fashion: The Icon".


    This name sounded very old-fashioned to Natalie.


    The cover alsocked a sense of artistic fashion.


    Natalie thought no normal person would want to buy such a magazine.


    Natalie finally understood Seth''s purpose now.


    She thought, "Apparently, Seth is not yet satisfied by exercising Kendrick.


    He wants to exercise me too.


    He wants to show me the cruelty of society."


    Natalie put the tablet away and went out to the study to ask Kendrick for details.


    She said to herself in her heart, "I''m going to work with him soon!


    Can I go to thepany in his Maybach 62s every day?


    As soon as the car door opens, my long legs in high heels will step out of the car.


    I must look very domineering in that way."


    As she passed up the stairs, Natalie noticed Nigel approaching.


    His walking posture was extremely strange.


    He was tiptoeing in trepidation.


    Natalie felt like he was walking with his butt tightened.


    Natalie frowned and asked, "What''s wrong with you? Why are you walking like this?"


    Seeing her standing on the stairs, Nigel immediately returned to his normal walking posture and said,


    "Mrs. Ramsey, I thought you were resting."


    Meanwhile, he thought, "Because if I dare to make any noise, my legs will be gone."


    "Are you here to report on your work?" Natalie asked.


    "I''m here to deliver Mr. Ramsey some documents."


    Nigel handed her the document pouch with both hands. "Mrs. Ramsey, could you please hand it over to


    Mr. Ramsey for me?"


    Natalie took the document pouch and weighed it. Then she discovered that it was rather heavy.


    There seemed to be a paper book inside.


    Natalie knocked at the study door and handed Kendrick the document pouch in her hand. "Nigel


    brought it here to you."


    Kendrick opened it, took out the magazine inside, and handed it to her. "Take and read it!"


    Natalie fixed her eyes upon it.


    Then she saw the name of the magazine.


    It was called "Ramsey Fashion: The Icon".

 Chapter 113 Natalie Fainted

    Chapter 113 Natalie Fainted


    Chapter 113 Natalie Fainted


    Although Kendrick had been forced by her to drink nutritional supplements for two days, she was his


    wife no matter what.


    Therefore, learning that she had been assigned to the marketing department of the fashion business,


    he still gathered relevant information for her.


    Kendrick handed her another document. "This is the organizational structure and revenue situation of


    the department."


    Natalie hurried to take it.


    "Sam Rubio, the current director of the marketing department. You should be assigned to work with


    him. He doesn''t report his business to me. If there is a conflict with him, you cane directly to me,"


    said Kendrick.


    "Hey!" Natalie was unhappy." How could I have conflicts with people for no reason?"


    She continued in her heart, "I didn''t enter Ramsey Group to cause trouble, okay?


    He''s so mean!


    How could he say that about me?"


    Natalie promised, "Don''t worry. I will definitely be very slick."


    "That doesn''t seem like a good word," said Kendrick lightly.


    His implied meaning was that Natalie shouldn''t be that proud.


    Natalie was speechless for a moment.


    She sat down in the chair next to Kendrick, flipped through the document, and asked, "Who does Sam


    report to?"


    "Susan Ramsey," Kendrick added, "my youngest grandaunt."


    Susan was Seth''s youngest sister.


    She lived in North Gilfolk and was not in Hamgrad.


    However, the fashion and media business had to report to her.


    She also had a sizable stake in Ramsey Group.


    Natalie was familiar with this name.


    It was mentioned in the original book.


    She remembered that one of Susan''s eyes seemed to be blind.


    "She has been recuperating for the past year due to a tumor in her brainpressing the optic nerve,


    which caused blindness in her right eye."


    This was the reason for the marked decline in the performance of the fashion business division.


    Natalie naturally asked, "Did she not have the surgery?"


    Kendrick shook his head. "That''s too dangerous."


    Natalie pursed her lips and asked no more questions.


    "The internalplexity within Ramsey Group is great. If there is anything that you cannot handle,


    "Okay!" Natalie obediently nodded. "I will work hard at Ramsey Group." She smiled and said, "I''ve set a


    small goal. I''ll create a profit of 15 million dors after I enter Ramsey Fashion."


    Kendrick also smiled. "Share the bonus with me at the end of the year then."


    He thought, "I got hurt like this in order to get her shares.


    I have to get some back anyway."


    Natalie frowned. "You''re always thinking about my money."


    Suddenly, Kendrick remembered something and said, "Being reminded by you like this reminds me of


    something. You still owe me 100 thousand dors."


    "I won''t pay it back to you."


    Kendrick raised his hand and squeezed her face with a warm smile in his eyes. "You are indeed a little


    scammer."


    "You are indeed a little scammer!


    Little scammer!"


    The words rang in Natalie''s ears.


    She suddenly felt a little suffocated.


    She began to gasp and was a bit out of breath.


    Kendrick realized something was wrong with her. He immediately held her and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Natalie said in her heart, "It hurts so much!


    My heart hurts so much."


    Natalie propped her hands against the table and tried to get up.


    Her eyes, however, suddenly darkened.


    The next moment, she fainted.


    ...


    Natalie had a long dream.


    She dreamed that she had been taken home by Easton from a ce full of transparent sses that


    looked like aboratory.


    She grabbed his hand and shouted, "Daddy!"


    Easton crouched down and said, "I am not your father, and I am not qualified to be your father. You can


    call me Easton or Mr. Wright."


    He took her hand and went home, then said to her, "This is my wife, and this is my daughter, Violet. Nat


    will live with us from now on."


    Violet gave her a doll and held her hand. Then she asked with a smile, "Nat, can I tie your hair?"


    Her name was Natalie Quinn.


    However, she never knew why she had that name.


    Easton had never told her.


    Someone was calling her name in her ear.


    "Nat...Nat..."


    One sound followed another.


    It was like a cry in the distance.


    Natalie opened her eyes.


    Then she met a pair of anxious, concerned eyes.


    The next moment, her hand was tightly held.


    Natalie finally realized that it was Kendrick.


    She sat up in a daze, propped herself up, and asked, "Why am I lying here?"


    "You suddenly fainted." Kendrick frowned tightly. "A shock caused by hypoglycemia."


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "Well, I indeed haven''t had much rest during this time."


    A ss of water was handed to her lips, and Kendrick said in a soft voice, "Have some water."


    Natalie slowly sipped some water and regained some strength.


    She fixed her eyes on Kendrick.


    She thought, "I actually feel a sense of relief.


    I''m still in this world.


    Everything is true."


    For some reason, her eyes turned wet, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Hug me, okay?"


    Kendrick reached out and wrapped her in his arms.


    Two hours ago, she had suddenly fainted.


    He waspletely frightened and felt an unprecedented sense of panic.


    He even felt as if his heart had been torn open.


    He had never expected to be so frightened one day.


    Kendrick tightened his grip, causing Natalie some pain.


    However, she didn''t want to push him away at all.


    The doctor knocked at the door and walked in.


    He said it was a sudden shock caused by hypoglycemia.


    He then instructed Natalie to pay attention to her diet, stay upte less, not overwork, and maintain a


    calm mindset in the future.


    Natalie hurriedly nodded.


    Kendrick''s expression was gloomy.


    Natalie was on an intravenous drip.


    Her face was very pale.


    She reached out, took Kendrick''s hand, and asked, "Did I scare you?"


    "Yes," Kendrick admitted, "I''m very worried."


    "I''m fine." She forced a smile. "It''s just hypoglycemia. I''ll be alright after replenishing enough nutrients."


    "Okay, then what do you want to eat?" Kendrick asked seriously.


    Natalie smiled. "I''m not hungry yet."


    She reached out, touched Kendrick''s somewhat stiff face, andforted him, "Don''t worry. You have


    not fully recovered yet, so how could you rush to the hospital with me?"


    "I''m fine."


    Natalie regained some strength after her intravenous drip was finished.


    In fact, she was alright and could be discharged.


    However, Kendrick didn''t allow it.


    He insisted she should stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.


    It seemed to him that it was free to live in such a high-end ward.


    Natalie had no choice but to stay.


    At nine o''clock in the morning.


    Kendrick appeared in the ward on time.


    He also brought her a nutritious breakfast.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie had finished brushing her teeth with one hand and was about to wash her face. It was


    inconvenient, so she asked for help and said, "Can you help me tie my hair up?"


    Kendrick put down the breakfast in his hand and asked, "What should I do?"


    "Justb it and tie it up with a band," she said with a smile, "just like what I did to your hairst time."


    Hearing that, Kendrick couldn''t help but sigh in his heart, "Come on!


    Don''t mention it again, okay?"


    Kendrick took ab, let her lean against hisp, and began tob her long hair.


    After that, he started to tie up her hair.


    His movements were a little clumsy.


    After tying it, he found that he had missed a strand of hair. He had OCD, so he loosened the tied braid


    and started over.


    Natalie was a little speechless.


    "I shouldn''t have made this request," she thought.


    In the end, Kendrick still made it, although it was not very beautiful.


    "Just consider it a crooked ponytail of the trend!" Natalieforted herself in her heart.


    After she had washed her face, Kendrick fed her some porridge while saying, "The nutritional


    supplement you made for mest time was very delicious. Would you like to try it?"


    Natalie reached out to pat him and smiled with her lips pursed.


    She felt that Kendrick was really stingy.


    After feeding her a few times, Kendrick pulled out a piece of tissue to wipe the corners of her lips and


    said, "Today is yourst day for observation in the hospital. I will go for a follow-up by myselfter. Just


    rest here and wait for me."


    Natalie suddenly remembered that it was Kendrick''s acupuncture time today.

    Chapter 114 Kendrick Is Fooled by Natalie


    After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Natalie asked, "When will you leave?"


    "At two o''clock in the afternoon."


    Natalie quickly calcted the time it would take to get from the hospital to the diagnosis and treatment


    center.


    It would take at least forty minutes, not counting the wait for a taxi.


    Kendrick put down the breakfast box in his hand and said, "I''ll leave after having lunch with you."


    Natalie''s eyes widened instantly.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    He thought Natalie was not happy with this.


    "Don''t you need to go to thepany?"


    She now felt that Kendrick had been with her more than staying at thepany.


    "No," he said.


    He had just finished speaking when his mobile phone rang.


    Kendrick said in a t tone, "I''m not in thepany. Turn it into a video meeting."


    Natalie was stunned.


    After hanging up, Kendrick said, "I have a meeting now."


    Then he went to the sofa for the meeting.


    He spoke in full Fayman.


    It was a multinational meeting.


    Natalie had good Fayman listening and could tell that the meeting was about the project of Ramsey


    Technology. Kendrick nned to bring in returned talents in the semiconductor, AMP, and chip


    industries.


    The project had only been restarted for just one month.


    However, Kendrick quickly advanced and formed a research and development team.


    These people were basically his alumni when he was studying in Cruxham.


    When the project stalled, he didn''t give up onmunication, and now it was finally yielding some


    results.


    The video meetingsted for about an hour.


    Kendrick looked a bit gloomy after the meeting.


    Natalie spected that he should be confused and uncertain about the future.


    After all, the semiconductor industry in Hamgrad had just started,


    It would take a long time to surpass international giants.


    However, she believed that Kendrick would definitely be able to make it.


    "Although our semiconductor industry startedte, it has a solid foundation and arge reserve of


    talents. Coupled with policy support, the outlook is particrly broad. Additionally, you must trust your


    own vision."


    Natalie restrained her usual yfulness and said solemnly, "The research and development team you


    formed will definitely be able to develop the world''s most advanced nanochips."


    Her eyes seemed to sparkle with a forward-looking vision beyond the times.


    It was as if she could see further into the future.


    Kendrick was taken aback for a moment. He was surprised that he had only furrowed his brows, but


    she could actually tell what he was worried about.


    He pursed his lips and said, "It is not that easy, and the challenges and risks are unprecedented."


    Natalie smiled lightly. "Have you ever been afraid of challenges and risks?" Her gaze fixed on him, and


    she said in a firm and admiring tone, "Has there ever been anything that you want to do but fail?"


    Kendrick chuckled lightly.


    He epted her ttery.


    He restrained his smile and remained silent for a while before suddenly saying, "Nat."


    "What?"


    Natalie looked at him gently.


    In fact, he had only a sudden desire to call her by her name.


    It seemed to him the most beautifulnguage in the world.


    "Will you feel aggrieved working at Ramsey Fashion?" Kendrick paused for a moment and asked


    again.


    It was a marginal department with a low budget.


    Also, it was at a loss.


    In fact, if Natalie wanted it, Kendrick would find a way to put her in another department.


    "Not at all!" Natalie''s eyes flickered. "My biggest advantage is that I can ovee difficulties and make


    what is impossible possible. Moreover, my all-around ability and adaptability are super strong. Give me


    some time, and I''ll turn losses into profits."


    She smiled again. "Making 15 million dors is not a joke. I''m serious."


    Kendrick hadn''t expected to hear that.


    He thought, "Fine then!


    I was over-worried."


    Natalie smiled at him and asked, "Do you want to know how I''ll make 15 million dors?"


    "Tell me."


    "That''s a trade secret. I won''t tell you."


    Seeing that Kendrick''s face turned dark, Natalie immediately threw herself into his arms and said, "Oh,


    I feel dizzy."


    Kendrick frowned and asked, "Are you experiencing hypoglycemia again?"


    Upon hearing the chuckle, he realized that he had been fooled.


    Natalie looked up and kissed him on the chin. "You''ll soon know."


    ...


    Kendrick had lunch with Natalie.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Before leaving, he gently kissed her forehead and said, "Stay here obediently, and I''lle to pick you


    up at night."


    Natalie nodded obediently, but in fact, she was thinking about how to get out of the hospitalter.


    She sent a message to Owen saying she would be thereter.


    She told him to hold on by himself for a while.


    After Kendrick had left, Natalie immediately pulled out the infusion needle and walked out.


    However, as she had just pushed the door open, she bumped into a nurse who hade in to


    examine her.


    "Are you going out?"


    Natalie nodded and said, "Yes, there''s something urgent at home."


    "But..."


    The nurse stopped her from going out and said, "You haven''t finished your drip yet. Mr. Ramsey said


    you should stay for another day."


    Natalie stepped back and sped her hands. "Please, I really have something urgent to do. I''lle


    back to continue my drip after I get that done." She showed the nurse her hand and said, "You can put


    the infusion needle into my vein again after Ie back, okay?"


    The nurse didn''t know what to say.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll exin it to Mr. Ramsey," said Natalie.


    With that, she lifted her hand and pressed it against the nurse''s shoulder, pushing her away.


    It was already 1:40 when Natalie got into a taxi.


    She sent a message to Owen asking him to wait for her, saying she would be there soon.


    ...


    Kendrick showed up at the diagnosis and treatment center at 1:50 p.m.


    Owen read Natalie''s message.


    However, he had no time to reply to her.


    He could only put his phone aside and get up to examine Kendrick. He found a wound on his leg and


    quickly asked, "Are you injured?"


    He finally understood why Kendrick''s follow-up was dyed.


    Kendrick nodded. "Something unexpected happened."


    Owen carefully examined the wound and asked, "Was the pain strong at that time?"


    "No," Kendrick said while recalling, "but as the wound heals, the pain is obvious."


    Owen nced at the scar and said, "If the healing speed is too fast, the pain will also increase!"


    He thought, "I specte that Kendrick should be using some special drugs.


    But...


    Look at the direction of the scar suture..."


    Owen, out of professional habits, said to Kendrick, "The doctor''s stitching technique is quite


    professional and ingenious. That''s why you will not have any scars on your leg. Apart from that, the


    wound will also heal faster."


    Kendrick looked up at him. "Will non-professionals have such techniques?"


    At that moment, Owen seemed to realize something. He paused and cautiously replied, "It''s not ruled


    out that the person has deliberately studied and trained."


    "Let''s start!" said Kendrick.


    At 2 o''clock.


    Natalie had not yet arrived.


    Owen couldn''t wait any longer, so he instructed his assistant to prepare for the acupuncture treatment.


    He pushed Kendrick into the diagnosis and treatment room.


    ...


    Natalie urged the taxi driver to speed up all the way.


    However, it was already toote.


    She sent messages to Owen, but he didn''t reply.


    She could not help wondering what he was doing.


    The driver couldn''t help but say, "Little girl, I can''t drive any faster. This is not an F1 race car!"


    It was only a cheap, light sedan.


    As a result, if the driver drove any faster, the car would fly straight away at turns.


    Natalie covered her face and said, "Please drive at will!"


    It was half past two when she finally got out of the taxi and paid.


    Natalie rushed into the diagnosis and treatment center.


    Then she ran upstairs.


    She soon realized that she could not do so. She leaned against the wall to catch her breath. After


    calming herself down, she walked steadily towards the treatment room.


    Natalie drew a deep breath outside the door.


    Then she raised her hand and wanted to push the door in.


    Just at that moment, the door was opened from the inside.

 Chapter 115 Natalies Excuse

    Chapter 115 Natalie''s Excuse


    Chapter 115 Natalie''s Excuse


    The one who came out was Owen.


    He closed the door and pulled Natalie away before asking, "Why are you here?"


    Her face was pale, and her breathing had not yetpletely calmed down. She said in a hoarse voice,


    "I''mte. Let me catch my breath before entering. Have you held on until now?"


    Owen was speechless and said after hearing her breath return to normal, "I have already applied


    acupuncture for him."


    Natalie raised her eyebrows.


    "You gave him acupuncture?"


    "Yes." Owen nodded.


    Seeing Natalie''s expression, Owen immediately added, "I''ve watched you do that many times and


    practiced it by watching your videos for a long time. Don''t worry, there won''t be any mistakes."


    "You didn''t show up, so I had no other choice. I can''t always take your credit," he exined.


    He didn''t want to be the princess pretending to save the prince in "The Little Mermaid".


    Therefore, he devoted himself to practicing Natalie''s acupuncture techniques by watching her videos


    for a long time.


    Owen was well-versed in theory.


    Therefore, it didn''t take him too long to put it into practice.


    Natalie gasped and said, "Owen!"


    He turned his face away.


    "I know, I seldom praise anyone, but today, I want to praise you." Her face was flushed with excitement.


    "You are not only talented but also diligent and eager to learn. Over time, you will definitely be the top


    guide in the field of neuroscience in the world."


    Owen hadn''t expected her to praise him.


    He turned his face back and said humbly, "I''m ttered, but I do want to climb the peak


    wholeheartedly."


    Natalie reached out and grasped the sleeve of his white coat. "You don''t have to be so humble. You''re


    capable enough to be like that."


    Owen asked curiously, "What about you?"


    Natalie frowned, and her face turned pale instantly.


    Owen reached out to help her and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale."


    "I''m fine. Is he still being applied with medical ointment?"


    "Yes. We will have a neural response test for himter." Owen paused and then said with concern, "Sit


    down and rest for a while, and I''ll go get you a ss of water."


    Natalie shook her head. "I don''t need that."


    She added, "From now on, you will be responsible for the acupuncture. Have you reviewed the surgical


    n? Do you have any questions?"


    Owen stared at her and said, "I have circled my doubts and emailed you the n. ording to his


    current recovery rate, the surgery can be performed by the end of next month."


    Natalie suddenly held out her hand.


    Owen was stunned for a moment and reached over to give her a high-five.


    "The surgery will definitely be sessful!"


    A light but determined smile spread over Owen''s handsome face.


    Suddenly, an old saying urred to him.


    He thought, "With great friendshipes great life. Toward the same goals will we strive.


    My trip to Hamgrad this time will always be on my mind in my life."


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ...


    It was already 6 p.m. after Kendrick''s re-examination.


    The effect was obvious.


    His leg sensations were gradually recovering.


    Initial estimates were that the surgery could be carried out next month.


    Once the surgery was sessful,bined with subsequent rehab, Kendrick would be able to stand


    up.


    The surgical n had been reviewed by Kendrick. It would use the most advanced cogen scaffold to


    guide stem cell regeneration and repair the damaged spinal cords.


    Owen emphasized to him some pre-surgery matters.


    The two of them were talking.


    Suddenly, Kendrick''s phone rang.


    He was told by the hospital that Natalie had been discharged.


    He was also told that she had pulled out the infusion needle herself and left directly.


    The connotation was somewhat provocative.


    Kendrick hung up and then saw a message from Natalie on his phone, saying that she had been


    discharged and returned home.


    Kendrick didn''t know whether to be angry or not for a moment.


    ...


    Natalie was at home trying to think of a proper excuse for her discharge.


    After pondering for a long time, she still couldn''te up with a reasonable one.


    She said to herself in her heart, "I''m just capricious.


    I just don''t want to stay in the hospital.


    It doesn''t seem phony to say so, right?"


    Soon, the sound of the car engine came from downstairs.


    Kendrick was back.


    Natalie was pacing the room, thinking, but before she could think of an excuse, there was a knock at


    the door.


    She could only get out of bed and prepare to open the door.


    Kendrick, however, had already entered in his wheelchair.


    "The hospital said you were discharged directly after pulling out the infusion needle."


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "Why are they so good at filing aint?


    Do they have to disclose every detail?"


    Natalie could only stammer, "Well, I, I just don''t want to stay in the hospital. I want to go home."


    Kendrick kept a cold face.


    "I have to say, she can always make me angry every now and then," he thought.


    With that in mind, he asked, "You haven''t recovered yet, so why are you in such a hurry toe


    back?"


    "I''m already alright."


    "Do you insist on refuting me?"


    Apparently, Kendrick was angry.


    He was now warning Natalie.


    After thinking for a moment, Natalie frowned and looked at him in grievance. "It''s really ufortable


    being in the hospital. The food is terrible, and you have to waste your time staying with me." She said


    pitifully, "I''m really fine now."


    Kendrick was now on the verge of rage, and his face was still very dark.


    Before he could speak, however, Natalie crouched down and embraced him. She rubbed her face


    against his shirt and snorted, "I was wrong. Don''t be so fierce to me."


    Kendrick fell silent.


    He thought in helplessness, "I shouldn''t have pampered her so much.


    Look how capricious she has be.


    Does she think she can smooth this over by acting coquettish like this?"


    Kendrick pulled her away and said coldly, "You''re always so capricious."


    "I am not."


    "Your mouth is really hard, isn''t it?"


    Kendrick suddenly raised his voice.


    He felt her so disobedient that he really wanted to spank her.


    However, as soon as he had finished speaking, he felt a soft touch on his lips.


    Natalie directly kissed him and then said in grievance and sorrow, "Is my mouth hard?"


    She directly refuted Kendrick with her action.


    Her implied meaning was that her mouth was soft.


    Kendrick was so angry that he even wanted tough.


    He didugh.


    Natalie hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "Don''t be angry with me anymore.


    Let''s go have dinner, okay?"


    Kendrick was not very angry now, and he said, "Eat more tonight."


    "That''s for sure."


    ...


    Kendrick''s legs were almost healed.


    During his rest, he left behind a pile of documents that had not yet been dealt with.


    At night, he was lying in bed reading documents.


    Meanwhile, patches were applied to each of his legs.


    His leg sensations almost returned to normal, especially the tactile sensation.


    When he touched his legs with his own hands, he could clearly feel the temperature.


    Suddenly, he thought, "Today''s acupuncture traces seemed a bit different from the previous ones.


    Also, Owen seemed less steady than the previous few times.


    Several times, I even felt that he had slightly missed the acupoints.


    But I have to say, acupuncturebined with nerve drug injection is still very helpful for my leg


    recovery."


    As he was thinking so, the door of the cloakroom was opened.


    Natalie walked straight out of the cloakroom.


    Kendrick raised his eyes.


    Then he saw that she had changed into professional attire.


    She was wearing a light blue silk shirt, paired with a ck one-step skirt.


    His gaze rested upon her.


    Thest thing that remained in his sight was Natalie''s fair, straight, and slender legs.

 Chapter 116 Couples Phone Cases

    Chapter 116 Couple''s Phone Cases


    Chapter 116 Couple''s Phone Cases


    Natalie would go to work at Ramsey Group next Monday.


    She tried on several professional outfits in the cloakroom before deciding that thest one suited her


    better.


    The shirt was simple and stylish in design.


    The skirt was hip-long and slim-fitting, with a slight opening at the side.


    She looked elegant and exquisite, but not overly mature in this outfit.


    "How do I look?" Natalie circled in front of Kendrick. "I''ll wear this outfit to thepany on Monday.


    What do you think?"


    Kendrick withdrew his gaze and smiled approvingly. "It''s perfect for you!"


    However, he then frowned and said with concern, "The temperature will drop on Monday, so it will be


    cold to dress like this."


    He lifted his hand andid it on his chin. His deep eyes met hers, and he smiled faintly. "You''ve just


    recovered, so wear more."


    Natalie felt that he had a point.


    "Okay, then I''ll change the skirt into pants."


    "It''s up to you."


    That was exactly what Kendrick wanted.


    "Wait, the phone cases arrive. I''ll bring them over."


    Natalie had been waiting for a long time.


    She ran back to her room and took over the couple''s phone cases that had just been unpacked. She


    shook them and said, "I specially customized them. Let''s put them on!"


    The cartoon phone cases specially designed by the creative store had their initials at the bottom of the


    patterns.


    The couple''s style was very obvious.


    As soon as Kendrick took out his phone, everyone would know he was in love.


    Natalie sat on his bed, swaying with her calves dangling, looking very eye-catching.


    Kendrick handed her his phone.


    She quickly put on the phone case for him and handed the phone back to him. "It''s quite cute."


    Kendrick felt a little embarrassed.


    He ced the phone in his palm and looked at the phone case, feeling that it did not match his usual


    style.


    "Don''t you like it?" Natalie asked tentatively.


    "asionally changing my style is not bad." Kendrick raised his eyes to look earnest.


    Natalie also reced her phone case and made a pair with his.


    She had despised such things when she was single.


    Since she fell in love, however, things had been quite different.


    After applying the patches for a while, Kendrick took them off and said to Natalie, "The follow-up


    worked very well today. Dr. Gentry suggests I have the surgery next month."


    Speaking of this, he frowned slightly.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Kendrick couldn''t express this feeling, but he still frankly said, "Although Owen is at the forefront of this


    field, there has never been a sessful case before. I have read his surgical n, and it is advanced


    to surpass the times."


    He added, "It seems to use cogen to guide nerve cell regeneration or what."


    "Cogen scaffold bridging," Natalie blurted out without hesitation.


    "Did you read the surgical n?"


    Natalie remained calm and said, "I''ve heard Dr. Gentry mention it before, so I remember it."


    She quickly changed the topic and asked, "Do you have confidence in the surgery?"


    "There won''t be any worse results." Kendrick smiled. "At worst, I''ll still be sitting in a wheelchair."


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said, "Have some confidence!"


    She held out her hand as a sign.


    Kendrick took her hand.


    "Say that you have great confidence."


    He didn''t understand, but he still said it ording to Natalie''s meaning.


    Natalie silently prayed, "The surgery will definitely be sessful."


    ...


    Sam, the director of the marketing department, had been informed in advance that a new colleague


    would arrive this week.


    He had also been tactfully told that the neer was of a higher rank than him.


    That was to say, the person was not here to be his subordinate.


    Sam was 35 years old and had been working in the marketing industry for ten years.


    Now, a neer had suddenly arrived, with a higher rank than him.


    This gave him a strong sense of crisis.


    He arrived at thepany at 8 o''clock on Monday for the first time and gathered all his subordinates


    together for a meeting.


    "I just received the news that our department has a new colleague airborne this week, and this person


    has a pretty high rank." Sam looked around and said, "I''m not sure what specific position this


    neer is in."


    "A man or a woman?" someone asked.


    "A woman." Sam pondered. "I guess she''s not young."


    "That''s a bit troublesome," someone let out a long sigh, "but since she''s airborne, I don''t think she''ll


    stay long."


    As soon as the person had finished speaking, the door was pushed open.


    The conference room was suddenly silent.


    The human resources manager ushered Natalie in.


    The moment the door was opened, the eyes of everyone fell upon her.


    She was wearing a light blue shirt and ck pants.


    Her style of dress was simple and understated.


    Then everyone looked up at her face.


    The next moment, they were stunned by Natalie''s young age.


    Sam was also stunned.


    He thought, "Has this new colleague just graduated from college?


    Then why is her rank higher than mine?


    She must have some connections with some superiors at Ramsey Group!


    I must give her a swagger!"


    Just as he was thinking about this, Natalie turned to look at his face and asked with a smile, "Does the


    marketing department have a rule for meetings at 8 o''clock on Monday?"


    Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment.


    Sam coughed and said, "This week''s tasks are heavy, so we decided to have an early meeting for work


    arrangements."


    "I see." Natalie pulled out a chair and sat down, then asked, "Sam, I''m notte, am I?"


    Sam was named and had to brace himself and say, "No."


    "That''s good." Natalie smiled and said, "I will arrange future meetings. Reduce all tedious meetings and


    try tomunicate online as much as possible."


    Silently staring at her, Sam couldn''t help but think, "She has a high rank and a mysterious background.


    Also, she does not seem to be easy to mess with.


    Could it be that, with the help of advanced medical aesthetics and stic surgery, she just looks like a


    recent college graduate?


    But there were no signs of beauty surgery on her face."


    The human resources manager took the opportunity to ask Natalie, "Should I introduce our colleagues


    to you?"


    Natalie waved her hand and said, "No, I know everyone." She swept her gaze over everyone and said


    their names and the job responsibilities one by one.


    Except for her voice, the conference room was silent.


    Everyone showed a shocked face.


    "Let''s continue the meeting! I''m listening," Natalie said.


    The meeting focused on finalizing marketing ns for its beauty and skincare brands for the uing


    mega sale.


    Natalie had but one expression as she listened to the n.


    She was very confused.


    She thought, "What era is it now? How can we still use such an antiquated method as TV advertising to


    invite big stars to endorse?


    Now the live streaming sales in this world have just emerged.


    The lead anchors have yet to appear.


    Therefore, we should seize the opportunity to coborate with the anchors to hype a single product.


    Then let beauty bloggers rmend our products and promote them in an advertorial way.


    In this way, a marketing closed-loop will form."


    Thinking of this, Natalie stood up.


    Then she directly interrupted Sam, who was assigning tasks to his subordinates.


    Sam was shocked. "Do you have any questions?"


    Natalie waved at him and said, "Get down. Let me speak."


    Sam hadn''t reacted yet.


    Natalie, however, had already switched off his PowerPoint and connected the projector to her own


    ...


    At twelve twenty.


    The meeting was over.


    Natalie took a sip of water and found that Sam had already left.


    She had been too focused on her speech just now.


    Therefore, she hadn''t paid any attention to Sam.


    She put down her ss and sincerely said, "If anyone is willing toe to my project team, please


    send me a message about the content you want to be responsible for. If you are not willing, I will not


    force you." She pped her hands and said, "Let''s have a break and go to lunch!"


    As soon as she had finished speaking, text messages popped up on her phone screen.


    Several colleagues had texted her.


    She had even been asked to lunch.


    Natalie first replied to the colleague who had invited her to lunch.


    [Natalie: No problem. Are there any good restaurants around here? Let''s go together.]


    Before she could send it out, she received a message from Kendrick.


    [Kendrick: Is the meeting over? Come and have lunch together.]

 Chapter 117 Natalies Period Suddenly Comes

    Chapter 117 Natalie''s Period Suddenly Comes


    Chapter 117 Natalie''s Period Suddenly Comes


    Looking at the message, Natalie thought, "Although I made an appointment with my colleague first.


    But...


    I can''t turn Kendrick down, can I?


    Therefore, I have to refuse my colleague and go out together next time."


    Natalie went downstairs and walked from Block B to Block A.


    Just as she arrived at the entrance to Block A, she met Sam.


    Natalie was puzzled and thought, "What is he doing here?"


    The two of them met each other in the eye, and Natalie kindly asked, "Have you had lunch?"


    Sam turned around and left.


    His eyes even seemed red.


    Natalie decided to ignore him. She swiped her card and went straight to the floor where Kendrick''s


    office was.


    ...


    Kendrick was unpacking the high-end food boxes.


    His white shirt was clean and neat, and his tie was light blue.


    With his drooping eyes, he looked handsome and gentle.


    He nced at the time and was about to send another message to Natalie.


    Just at that moment, the door was pushed open.


    "What delicious food did you order? Smells so good."


    Natalie walked over and sat down. Then she directly put a piece of pork rib in her mouth and said, "I''ve


    been having a meeting all morning. I''m so tired."


    Her voice was even husky.


    She thought, "I really don''t understand how Kendrick can sometimes go through three or four meetings


    in a day."


    "Did your first day of work go well?"


    Natalie nodded. "My colleagues are all very friendly. We got along very well with each other, and I was


    even asked to have lunch together."


    "Then why didn''t you go?"


    "Didn''t you send me a message? Therefore, I came here."


    Kendrick suddenly reacted. "It''s me who dyed you and your colleagues in promoting rtionships."


    Natalie helped him unpack the food boxes and said with a smile, "You''re the most important, but I have


    to eat together with them tomorrow because we need to create a project together!"


    Kendrick''s phone suddenly beeped several times.


    He nced at it and frowned slightly. Then he looked up and asked, "Did you scold Sam to cry in the


    morning meeting?"


    Natalie was stunned for a moment.


    She lowered her voice and said, "I just refuted him a few words and denied his n."


    She hadn''t expected Sam to cry.


    Natalie looked up and asked, "Did hein to you?"


    "He contacted Rory of the human resources department toin about you, and Rory told me."


    Sam had suffered a lot of grievances.


    Therefore, he directly reported to Rory, who was the vice manager of the human resources department.


    He said to Rory, "If she stays in the marketing department, I''ll resign! I have never been humiliated like


    this!


    "It''s an insult to me to deny the n I worked out all night without a single exnation!"


    Natalie asked, "Did he really cry?" She wore an expression of contempt. "He''s so phony!"


    She immediately twisted her lips and said, "Then I''ll cry too."


    Kendrick smiled helplessly.


    "Heined about me, then what should I do?" Natalie was a bit worried.


    She couldn''t believe that she had already beenined about by her colleague on her first day of


    work.


    Kendrick said, "I''ll pretend that I didn''t receive anyints."


    He then reminded Natalie, "If you really can''t get along with him, you can set up a project team on your


    own."


    "That''s what I did." Natalie nodded. "I''ll avoid having any contact with him!"


    "Let''s have lunch." Kendrick handed her a fork. "Have a rest here after lunch."


    ...


    Kendrick had a private lounge in his office.


    When he worked toote, he would simply rest there.


    After lunch, Natalie went straight to Kendrick''s bed to lie down and sleep.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "Having a meeting the whole morning is really exhausting.


    But it''s not that hard for me.


    I can still handle it."


    Natalie yawned and closed her eyes.


    Soon, however, her stomach suddenly growled.


    Then something seemed to shoot out of her lower part.


    She roared in her heart, "Excuse me?


    Does my periode?"


    Natalie immediately got up and went to the toilet.


    Then she discovered that her period had really arrived.


    She had been staying upte recently, and this had caused her period of dy. She hadn''t expected it


    toe now.


    And, the flow was quite heavy.


    ...


    Kendrick was at his desk, sending out mail.


    He instructed Rory to handle the conflict between Sam and Natalie, asking him to transfer Sam to


    another position or take charge of other businesses.


    Meanwhile, Natalie would be responsible for the promotion of beauty brand marketing this time.


    He was about to talk to Susan about this matter as well.


    Suddenly, his mobile phone beeped.


    It was a message from Natalie.


    Kendrick was surprised that she had not yet slept.


    He picked up his phone and checked the message.


    Natalie first sent him a pitiful emoji.


    Then she sent him a text message.


    [Natalie: My aunt has arrived.]


    Kendrick was stunned for a moment.


    At first, he didn''t understand what it meant.


    He replied to her. [Kendrick: What?]


    After Natalie received it, she remembered that Kendrick had never dealt with girls before and naturally


    didn''t know what that meant.


    She thought, "How should I exin it scientifically to him?


    Periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium?


    Should I say so?"


    As she was thinking, she received another message.


    [Kendrick: I''ve already asked Rose to buy it for you.]


    Natalie was a little embarrassed.


    She reached out and patted her head.


    She thought, "Why did ite at this time?


    No wonder I was in such a short temper this morning.


    Now I finally know why.


    I can''t me myself, can I?


    After all, anyone on her period will have a bad temper."


    Rose quickly went to buy Natalie a pack of sanitary pads, a piece of disposable underwear, and a pair


    of ck pants in size S.


    Natalie tidied herself up and was no longer sleepy.


    She walked out with a blush and whispered to Kendrick, "It stained your bed."


    Kendrick was puzzled. "What?"


    Natalie clenched her fingers and lowered her voice even more. She really wished she could disappear


    in an instant. "There is blood on your bed."


    Kendrick got it.


    He cleared his throat and said, "It''s okay. I''ll have someone clean it upter."


    Rose knocked at the door and came in. Then she handed a ss of hot chocte to Natalie and kindly


    said, "Please have some hot chocte. It can relieve the pain."


    Kendrick couldn''t help but think in confusion, "Will it hurt?"


    Natalie held the ss and took a cautious sip.


    Kendrick looked at her pale face and asked, "Does it hurt?"


    "I''m fine now."


    Natalie hadn''t felt much pain yet.


    It was just that her period flow was heavy.


    "Go rest on the sofa." Kendrick nced at the time and said, "If you''re not feeling well, take a leave this


    afternoon."


    Natalie covered her lower abdomen and walked to the sofa to sit down.


    Kendrick turned on the floor heating in his office.


    Natalie was not cold, actually.


    Soon, however, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.


    It seemed to be the cause of this body.


    The menstrual pain was severe.


    Natalie leaned there, feeling weak.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Her lower abdomen was throbbing with pain.


    She felt extremely ufortable.


    Therefore, she could only curl up.


    She felt a little better by pressing her hands hard against her lower abdomen.


    Kendrick was not in the mood for work now.


    He had no idea that it would hurt so much when a woman was on her period.


    Drinking hot chocte could ease some of the pain.


    However, it clearly did not work for Natalie.


    She even started holding herself and groaning.


    "Does it hurt very much?" Kendrick came over and asked with concern.


    Natalie nodded with difficulty.


    "What about having some more hot chocte?" Kendrick handed her the remaining half ss of hot


    chocte.


    Natalie shook her head and said in a weak and extremely aggrieved voice, "I can''t drink more."


    Kendrick didn''t force her but asked, "Tell me where it hurts."


    Natalie put her hands on her lower abdomen and said, "Here." She looked up at him and described the


    pain to him, "It feels like there''s an awl pricking my lower abdomen."


    Kendrick frowned deeply.


    He reached out to cover her lower abdomen and seriously asked, "Here?"


    "Yes, it hurts so much."


    The heat of his palm prated her skin.


    For a moment, Natalie suddenly felt no pain.


    She did not know whether it was a psychological effect or something else.


    Soon, however, the spasms began again, and she snorted in agony. The pain was so unbearable that


    she bit her lower lip and leaned over to his ear. Then she asked in an extremely low voice, "Can you


    massage my lower abdomen for me?"

    Chapter 118 Spencer''s Banter


    Chapter 118 Spencer''s Banter


    Kendrick had never taken the initiative to care for others.


    Not to mention the use of bodynguage.


    Natalie''s soft, pitiful voice, however, made his heart tremble. He reached out and rubbed her lower


    abdomen stiffly.


    "Do you feel better?" He kept frowning.


    He had no experience in dealing with such a situation.


    Natalie shook her head honestly.


    Across the fabric, it was impossible to warm the skin at all.


    She didn''t know how to guide him, so she could only say, "Go search how to do it yourself!"


    Kendrick really went online to search.


    "Massage clockwise along the lower part of the navel to warm the lower abdomen."


    He spoke directly and candidly about the method offered by the experts.


    Natalie couldn''t help but think, "You don''t need to say it out, do you?"


    "Lie up a bit." Kendrick put down his phone and pressed his warm hand through the hem of her shirt


    onto her lower abdomen.


    Natalie turned her face aside, not daring to look at him.


    She felt his warm palm.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    It touched her skin and brought her warmth.


    The pain had subsided again.


    Natalie''s gaze shifted downward.


    Then she saw Kendrick''s fair and slender hand with distinct joints slightly curling up, patiently pressing


    against her skin.


    His hand was not far from her private parts.


    Natalie''s head went nk, and she felt the blood seemed to flow even more fiercely.


    She bit her lips, her ears burning, and whispered, "It doesn''t hurt anymore."


    "Really?"


    "Yes."


    Her voice was extremely low.


    Kendrick withdrew his hand. Fearing that she might catch a cold, he buttoned the hem of her shirt


    again.


    Natalie finally turned back to look at him.


    Then she noticed that he didn''t seem so calm either.


    His eyes were deep and dark.


    The two of them met each other''s eyes.


    She blushed, and her eyes were still watery with pain.


    When Kendrick saw that, his Adam''s apple rolled, and his eyes turned even darker.


    He said, "If it still hurts, let Rose go buy some medicine for you." Kendrick touched her cheek with his


    warm finger and said in a low voice, "Rest here this afternoon."


    Natalie nodded obediently and rested on the sofa for about thirty minutes. Feeling much better, she


    stood up and said, "I have to go back and modify the n now. The mega sale ising soon, and


    there is not much time left. I''m afraid we won''t be able to make it."


    Kendrick hadn''t expected her to be so diligent and responsible.


    He looked up at her. "I''ll have someone fetch yourputer here. Don''t run around."


    Natalie said, "I..."


    "Is there a problem?"


    Her expression was a little embarrassed and yet a little expectant. "My colleagues said they ordered


    low tea and waited for me to join them."


    There were lots of cute little cupcakes that looked delicious.


    Besides that, there was also milk tea.


    Natalie was now on her period, so she just craved sweets, and she couldn''t control her desire at all.


    Kendrick fell silent for a while.


    Then he calmly said, "What do you want to eat? I''ll let Rose buy it for you."


    Now, Natalie really did not know how to refuse.


    ...


    Rose received the message and immediately took a taxi to a nearby five-star rmended bakery for


    red velvet cake and rose pancakes. She also brought Natalie a cup of hot milk tea on the way.


    When she knocked at the door and came in, Natalie was curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a thin


    nket.


    She was holding aptop and revising her project n.


    Rose ced the dessert on the table beside her and was about to go out when she was stopped by


    Natalie.


    "Thank you very much." Natalie smiled at her. Then she opened the paper bag and said to Rose,


    "Taste it."


    Rose had wanted to refuse.


    However, Natalie had already handed the paper bag to her hand and said, "Just take one piece!"


    Seeing that, Rose thought, "Is she ying coquettish with me?


    The kindness of such a beautiful girl is really irresistible!"


    Rose carefully wrapped it in a piece of tissue and said with a big smile, "Then I''ll go out now. Please


    send me a message if you need anything."


    The rose pancakes were freshly baked.


    They were the best-selling items in the bakery.


    When Rose arrived at the shop, there were only three left.


    Natalie ate a piece and said to Kendrick at his desk focusing on working, "The rose pancake is really


    delicious. I''ve left you a piece of it. Would you like to try it?"


    Kendrick raised his face slightly and said, "Just leave it there."


    Natalie lifted the nket and put on her shoes. Then she walked over with herptop and the paper


    bag.


    She sat down next to him and asked, "Are you free now?"


    Kendrick was writing a Fayman email and turned his face at that. "What''s the matter?"


    Natalie pointed to her n and said, "I can''t figure out the expenses and benefits here. Can you help


    me?"


    She reached out and wrapped her arm around his, tugging at it.


    Kendrick leaned closer and asked, "Where?"


    "Here, and here."


    Kendrick turned on the data software and typed a few lines of Fayman code.


    The system started the calction automatically.


    He nced at the figure and frowned. "Did you set a GMV of 15 million dors?"


    Natalie nodded. "Yes, I set a small goal of 15 million dors."


    Kendrick opened the financial statements and said, "Last year, the total sales of all brands did not even


    reach 15 million dors."


    "I know, and that''s why I set this goal."


    Kendrick looked at her and put his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature.


    "I''m not having a fever." Natalie took down his hand. "This goal will definitely be achieved this year. I


    have confidence."


    Hearing that, Kendrick finally realized that Natalie was not joking when she said she wanted to make a


    profit of 15 million dors.


    With a serious expression, he began to exin to her what went wrong with her calction method.


    Nataliey on the table, listening while looking at his side face.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "His eyshes are so long!


    When he looks down, they cast a shadow under his eyes.


    Why is the bridge of his nose so tall and straight?"


    With that in mind, Natalie reached over and scraped his nose, then pinched the bridge of it.


    "Are you listening to me?" Kendrick held her restless hand.


    "Yes." Natalie immediately repeated his words.


    Then she even gave him a proud smile.


    "Don''t try to stump me," she said to herself.


    Soon, however, her nose was pinched by Kendrick in retaliation.


    Natalie immediately pretended to cry and said in a pleading tone, "I can''t breathe."


    While the two of them were ying, the door was suddenly pushed open.


    "Kendrick, I have something to tell you."


    When the man at the door saw the scene in front of him, he immediately withdrew to knock at the door.


    "May Ie in?"


    Kendrick let go of Natalie and said, "Come in."


    The one who came in was Spencer.


    He never had the habit of knocking at the door before.


    Usually, he would swipe the fingerprint and then push the door in directly.


    He had never expected to see such a scene.


    He couldn''t help but think, "Why would this man bring his wife to work?


    Can he really focus on his work under such circumstances?


    I really can''t understand it!"


    Spencer coughed several times and said with banter, "It seems that I shouldn''t have been here now."


    Kendrick gave him no face at all. "If you want to go out, no one will stop you."


    Hearing that, Spencer thought in anger, "Damn it! He''s really dicks before chicks!"


    He took two steps inside and angrilyined, "You asked me here!"


    Kendrick said, "I asked you toe at four o''clock. What time is it now?"


    "I just want toe earlier, can''t I?"


    Natalie frowned. She could not understand why Spencer looked so aggrieved. She could not bear it, for


    her period blood was flowing freely again.


    She got up quickly and headed for the toilet.


    Spencer walked over, let out a snort, and began to apud. "Amazing, you actually brought your wife


    to work." He then sneered, "Aren''t you afraid of getting tired of her?"


    Kendrick didn''t want to talk much to him and asked, "Where is the thing I want?"

    Chapter 119 Natalie Is Jealous


    Spencer handed Kendrick the USB drive in his hand and said, "The information is all in here."


    Then he couldn''t help but roast, "You are really so mean to me now."


    Kendrick put away the USB drive and asked, "Anything else?"


    "Yes. I recently learned a secret about President Williamson. Are you interested?"


    Kendrick lowered his eyes and said, "No."


    Spencer didn''t give up and continued, "Listen, he actually has..."


    His gaze fell on the paper bag on the table.


    He smelled the fragrance of roses.


    Then his hand reached out uncontrobly.


    With a click, Natalie came out of the toilet.


    Then she saw Spencer stuff the half of a rose pancake in his hand into his mouth.


    "Hey!" She was toote to stop him.


    Natalie ran over, looked at the empty paper bag, and then saw Spencer slowly pull out a piece of tissue


    and wipe his fingers gracefully.


    She was stunned. "Did you eat it all?"


    Spencer nodded. "Well, I just ate one piece."


    "That''s only one piece!" Natalie was unhappy. "That is what I left for my husband."


    Only then did Kendrick discover what Spencer had done.


    Spencer looked around to confirm that there was no soup.


    He cautiously took a step back and suddenly said to Kendrick, "Kendrick, I identally ate it. You won''t


    me me, will you?"


    Natalie hadn''t expected him to be so phony.


    She walked over and circled her husband''s neck,ining to him, "Let him give it back to us!"


    Kendrick patted her hand and said with a smile, "That''s not enough. Let him treat us to dinner."


    Natalie nodded in agreement. "Good idea."


    Spencer finally understood.


    He realized that Kendrick and Natalie just wanted him to treat them to dinner.


    "Fine." Spencer gave up the struggle.


    After all, he hade to see Kendrick today on a serious matter.


    He needed Kendrick''s theoretical support for semiconductor, AMP, and chip technologies.


    ...


    Spencer ordered a barbecue delivery to Kendrick''s office.


    Before Kendrick could speak, Natalie took the lead and said, "I love it. Add arge bottle of milk as


    well."


    Spencer deliberately asked, "Kendrick, do you have any objections?"


    "You must dare not have it!" he sneered in his heart.


    Kendrick was silent for a moment and then said lightly, "Just do it!"


    One of Spencer''s lifelong dreams was to have a barbecue in Kendrick''s office.


    Now, his dream hade true.


    Spencer was particrly excited as they grilled, eating nonstop.


    "After finishing this meal, I''ll shut down for a month. No one will be able to contact me," said Spencer.


    Natalie curiously asked, "Are you going to practice in the mountains?"


    Spencer paused for a moment and then said in a mysterious tone, "Do you know? The quantum


    Natalie''s hand paused as she picked up a steak.


    "Parallel worlds?"


    "Yes, there is another world outside of our own. I am not sure about the specifics. I was not involved in


    the detection project. This project was initiated twenty years ago," said Spencer.


    Then he deliberately asked, "Do you know who the initiator is?"


    Natalie asked, "Who?"


    Spencer pursed his lips and said, "Our president, Rnd Williamson."


    This topic was quickly stopped.


    Natalie asked no further questions.


    She silently bit into the steak that Kendrick had ced on her te. However, she couldn''t help but


    think, "The parallel world was detected.


    Is it the world in which I was born?


    So, this world is more than just a book?


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    It is a real existence.


    It''s just that someone has put his pen to paper to record the stories that are happening in this world.


    Coincidentally, I read it."


    "What are you thinking?" Kendrick''s voice suddenly rang out.


    It was warm and clear.


    Natalie came back to her senses and looked over at him.


    She thought, "My love in my lifetime.


    He''s right next to me."


    She smiled lightly and pointed to the te. "I want grilled shrimp. Pick it up quickly, or it''ll be less


    delicious!"


    Spencer immediately said to Kendrick, "Grill a piece of tripe for me as well!"


    Kendrick refused him and said, "Can''t you do it yourself?"


    Spencer immediately fell silent.


    ...


    Natalie had dessert and a barbecue today.


    She was so satisfied that she even forgot about her period pain.


    When she went back home in the evening, she found that everyone in the group chat was still chatting


    about work. Therefore, she quickly sent her revised n to the newly built project group chat.


    There were several self-owned beauty and skincare brands under Ramsey Group.


    Among them, Flower Face focused on the makeup of Hamgradish aesthetics.


    Natalie decided to use lipstick as a starting point andbine online and offline marketing to turn it into


    a popr product.


    Compared to the previous n proposed by Sam, the marketing expenses of her n had been


    significantly reduced.


    And, it was more in line with the consumption trend of young people.


    After all, no woman would mind having an extra tube of lipstick in their makeup box at home.


    True red, beanstalk red, maple red, cherry red, and even period red...


    After finishing arranging work in the group chat, Natalie thought to herself, "I''m really a marketing


    genius."


    Then she happily went to bed after a shower.


    ...


    When she woke up, it was two o''clock in the morning.


    Natalie felt a faint pain in her lower abdomen again.


    She decided to go downstairs and pour herself a ss of hot water.


    She found that drinking more hot water really helped.


    As she passed the study, however, she saw that the light inside was still on.


    "Hasn''t Kendrick slept yet?" she thought.


    Natalie walked over and heard a sounding from inside.


    She got closer.


    Then she seemed to hear the voice of a young woman speaking.


    Natalie was stunned.


    She listened carefully.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "Who is he talking to on the phone?


    It''s sote.


    Is the other party a woman?"


    She put her ear to the door to hear better.


    Unexpectedly, the door was not tightly closed.


    She suddenly knocked it open.


    The man on the phone was clearly stunned.


    Natalie stood at the door and then saw him say goodbye to the person on the phone with a gentle


    smile.


    The next moment, a clear female voice came from the speaker, "Okay, I will convey what you said to


    Grandma. Ken, rest early."


    Natalie couldn''t believe what she had heard.


    Her anger surged up instantly.


    She froze in ce and asked angrily, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"


    Before he could speak, she walked over and asked, "Is it a woman?"


    "I heard it all! Don''t try to deny it," added Natalie.


    She thought, "She even called him Ken!


    He actually smiled so gently, and his voice was also very gentle!"


    Kendrick looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you still up sote?"


    "Don''t shift the topic. Who was that woman on the phone just now? She just called you Ken!" Natalie


    interrupted.


    Kendrick smiled lightly and asked, "Why are you so angry?"


    Seeing him not answering her questions, Natalie became even angrier.


    "If you don''t exin it to me clearly, I''ll..."


    "What will you do?"


    Natalie fell silent.


    She thought, "I must have been too kind to him. That''s why he''s so bold."


    Seeing that Natalie was really angry, Kendrick stopped teasing her. He pulled her over, put his arm


    around her waist, and showed her the call records.


    The caller ID for thest contact was Alin.


    "Alin is Susan''s granddaughter, my cousin." Kendrick put Natalie on hisp and patiently exined,


    "Let me show you some photos."


    After reading the photos of the Ramsey family, Natalie finally understood that they were rtives.


    However, she still didn''t give in. "Even so, you shouldn''t have called her sote. It''s easy to make me


    misunderstand."


    "She is abroad, and there is a time difference from us."


    Natalie couldn''t argue anymore.


    She bit her lip and sincerely said, "I''m sorry to misunderstand you!"


    Kendrick looked up at her with a meaningful smile. "Is that all?"


    Then he gently grabbed her chin with his slender fingers, rubbing it ambiguously. Meanwhile, his other


    hand climbed onto the buttons on herpel, and he chuckled in a low voice, "I don''t ept it."

 Chapter 120 Natalies Reward for Kendrick

    Chapter 120 Natalie''s Reward for Kendrick


    Chapter 120 Natalie''s Reward for Kendrick


    Natalie met Kendrick''s eyes.


    She felt that his gaze was evil.


    She immediately argued again, "I didn''t know, and you smiled so gently." Natalie lifted the corners of


    her lips with her hands and said with jealousy, "That''s how you smiled."


    "He has never smiled at me like this before," she added in her heart.


    Seeing that she was still refuting it, Kendrick clicked on his desktop e-mail and showed her the


    overseas e-mail he had just sent.


    The recipient was Susan.


    The content was about organizational changes in the marketing department and Natalie''s assignment


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    for the uing beauty and skincare line marketing promotion.


    Different people were responsible for the different business lines of Ramsey Group.


    Susan, who was ill, had asked Kendrick to take over her business temporarily. He had never consented


    because he did not want to take over the mess to distract his mind.


    It was now, however, under his management.


    After reading the contents of the e-mail, Natalie finally understood what was going on.


    She thought, "He ismunicating with Susan to expand my voice!


    Fine, I was a bit aggressive just now.


    It must be because of my period.


    Otherwise, I wouldn''t have been so angry."


    Natalie looked away from theputer screen, puffed out her face, and poked Kendrick in the


    shoulder.


    Her expression wasplex.


    She was moved, ashamed, and regretful.


    She pouted her mouth again and said, "Fine, then I''ll give you a reward."


    "You can kiss me!" She coiled her arms around his neck and pursed her lips in a shy, coquettish way.


    "Where should I kiss?"


    Kendrick asked calmly.


    Natalie leaned her cheek over to him.


    She wanted him to kiss her on the face.


    Kendrick remained unmoved. He slowly put her hands back behind her and then grabbed her wrists


    with one hand.


    Natalie could not move now.


    Then, under Natalie''s gaze, he calmly unfastened two buttons from herpel.


    His slender fingers moved slightly.


    The next moment, half of her pajamas slipped onto her shoulders.


    Natalie was stunned.


    Soon, her back was pressed against the desk, and she felt some coolness.


    He held her hands so tightly that she could not move at all.


    She could only watch him bend over and kiss her.


    She couldn''t help but think, "Haven''t I known Kendrick well enough?


    Or, is every man like that?"


    The kiss was a long one.


    Natalie tried her best to suppress her groans and said, "I have to go to work tomorrow.


    "There are still many things I have to deal with.


    "Kendrick!!"


    In the end, she said helplessly, "Honey! Let go of my hands. They hurt so much."


    The hand that held her wrists was finally released.


    Kendrick finally raised his face and slowly buttoned herpel.


    "You said that I could kiss you."


    He seemed to be in a good mood.


    He was even teasing her.


    Natalie fell silent.


    "I just let you kiss my face!" she thought.


    Natalie bit her lip with a somewhat unhappy expression and did not look at him anymore.


    Then she tried to get off him, but as soon as her toes touched the ground, a numbness came over her.


    Suddenly, her legs went weak, and she instinctively used her hand to find a support point.


    Then she felt that her hand had touched something.


    She rubbed it tentatively.


    Then Kendrick''s voice rang from above her head, deep and hoarse, "Where are you touching?"


    Natalie was stunned for a while.


    Aftering back to her senses, she said incoherently, "I should go to bed now. I have to wake up


    early tomorrow."


    ...


    Natalie arrived at thepany at nine o''clock.


    She received an e-mail from overseas at ten o''clock.


    She then learned that this time she would be fully responsible for marketing the beauty and skincare


    line.


    She had to report the progress and the final result of the work to Susan, who was now overseas.


    Susan was 55 years old, and she was Seth''s only living biological sister.


    She lived abroad all year round.


    She had an eye for art and fashion.


    And, she owned arge stake in Ramsey Group.


    Natalie reported her work to Susan by phone at ten o''clock.


    Unexpectedly, Susan asked, "Can we have a video chat?"


    Susan wanted to see Natalie.


    Natalie did as Susan had requested.


    Then she saw an elegantdy, who could be seen to be elderly, but still well-kept. She smiled kindly


    and said, "Just call me Susan."


    Natalie knew that one of Susan''s eyes was in a state of blindness due topression from a brain


    tumor.


    As a result, she could not focus her gaze when looking at people.


    Susan herself, however, was optimistic.


    After listening to Natalie''s report, she praised her, "You are really thoughtful. Your n is refreshing,


    but..." She paused and then asked with a smile, "Don''t you think the goal you set is too high? If it


    cannot be achieved, who will make it up for you?"


    Susan kindly reminded her, "Kendrick is not responsible for this business."


    Natalie sighed in her heart, "It''s just a goal of 15 million dors.


    Why does everyone think it''s too high?


    Moreover, I will be responsible for all the results myself and will not seek support from Kendrick."


    Natalie could only promise, "The total sales amount of 15 million dors will definitely be achieved. This


    is my annual performance evaluation, and I will be responsible for it."


    Susan did not embarrass her anymore.


    She just smiled faintly and said, "If you can''t achieve your goal, you''re not the only one who will suffer


    losses."


    After all, Kendrick had repeatedlymunicated with Susan via multiple e-mails.


    He had asked her to give Natalie 100% trust.


    He had even made some concessions of interest.


    Natalie thought she was referring to the entire department and immediately said, "Susan, I have


    confidence in this project, and my project colleagues will also try their best to reach the goal."


    "Okay." Susan smiled kindly. "Then I''ll wait for your good news."


    She picked up a piece of tissue and wiped the unintentional tears from her right eye. "There''s


    something wrong with my right eye. I can''t see clearly now, and I''ll even cry from time to time."


    Natalie said with concern, "You can drink some cassia seed and honeysuckle water. Coupled with daily


    massage, it can reduce eye pressure."


    Susan sighed, "I''ve seen many doctors, but they can''t cure my eye." She pointed to her head and said,


    "There''s a tumor in my brain, and that''s why I''m one-eye blind."


    Natalie frowned deeply.


    "Go to work! If you have any questions,municate with me promptly," said Susan gently.


    ...


    Kendrick had lunch alone this afternoon.


    He looked lonely and pitiful.


    In fact, Natalie had not entirely forgotten him.


    She had asked him if he had eaten.


    She even said she could bring him back a takeaway.


    [Kendrick: I have just had my lunch.]


    Seeing this message, Natalie instantly felt at ease.


    "Well, it turns out that I don''t have to worry at all," she thought.


    She casually sent him aforting emoji. Then she put down her phone and continued to listen to her


    colleagues gossip about the group.


    As they chatted, the topic returned to the Ramsey family.


    "Have you heard such a sentence? "asked mysteriously Nia Caldwell, who was in charge of content


    copywriting. Seeing everyone shake their heads, she proudly said, "I would rather be a dog beside


    Kendrick than a person by your side. Guess who said this?"


    Natalie couldn''t help butugh, "This person really has a high consciousness!"


    "It was said by Kendrick''s uncle-inw. It''s really ssic. I would like to call it the annual slogan of


    Ramsey Group."


    Nia pointed at people opposite her one by one and then asked, "Are you guys willing?"


    "I am willing!" said Sadie Moon, who was in charge of advertising, without hesitation.


    Natalie didn''t speak.


    Nia looked over at her and asked, "Natalie, do you have any different thoughts?"


    Natalie pursed her lips and smiled. "Can I be Kendrick''s wife?"


    Nia was stunned for a moment and then said solemnly and sincerely, "I advise you to give up this idea


    as soon as possible, for Mr. Ramsey is already married."


    "Yes, it''s said that his wife is very young, only eighteen years old. It''s also said that she''s already


    pregnant. Of course, I''m not sure. They are all hearsay," echoed Sadie.


    Natalie was speechless for a moment.


    She roasted in her heart, "Why don''t I know that I am 18 and even pregnant?"


    Nia had originally been holding her cheeks, but upon hearing that, she immediately sat up and began


    gossiping, "Mr. Ramsey''s legs are paralyzed, then..." She narrowed her eyes and smiled ambiguously.


    "Are you talking about having sex?" Sadie immediately got her meaning and pped her hands. "It


    should be Mrs. Ramsey on top!"

 Chapter 121 He Will Never Vent His Anger on You

    Chapter 121 He Will Never Vent His Anger on You


    Chapter 121 He Will Never Vent His Anger on You


    Natalie almost spat out the water in her mouth. She gestured for a pause and said, "Stop taking


    nonsense."


    They were both young girls who had just entered the workce, so it was improper to dive into such a


    topic.


    Natalie fell silent, lowered her head, and quietly ate.


    She and Kendrick had never had sex or adopted the "girl on top" posture. They had not reached that


    ce yet but had only kissed!


    "Natalie, I''ve submitted the marketing budget request for approval. Please review and approve itter,"


    Sadie said while drinking Coke.


    "OK."


    Sadie looked at her and asked with concern, "Is the food too spicy? Why are you blushing? Even your


    ears are red! Would you like a bottle of Coke?"


    Natalie smiled, "No, thanks. I will be fine soon."

    -


    Natalie reviewed the marketing budget request and thought there was no problem, so she approved it


    and submitted it to the Finance Department for approval.


    But it was soon rejected by Daisy in charge of fund approval in the Finance Department. And the


    reason was high-sounding. The details of the purposes were not clear, so the request was rejected.


    Natalie immediately sent a message to Daisy on the officemunication software, asking, "Hi Daisy,


    can you please point out what details are not clear enough?"


    Daisy soon replied, "I''m having a meeting."


    An hourter, Natalie asked again. But Daisy did not reply after reading the message.


    Natalie was speechless. She did not want to waste time, so she directly went to the Finance


    Department.


    When the ss door opened, she saw many people happily eating snacks while exchanging gossip.


    And the office area was surprisingly lively.


    Natalie walked to Daisy''s desk, put the printed contract in front of her, and loudly asked, "What details


    are not clear enough?"


    Daisy was startled by her sudden voice. Aftering back to her senses, she looked at Natalie and


    said, "Many ces are not clear. I can''t understand it, so I rejected the request. Do you have any


    problem with it?"


    Daisy was pretty and was an executive''s girlfriend. Her approval always depended on her mood. If she


    was unhappy, she would reject the request and ask the requestor to revise the format. And she would


    not approve and submit it to her supervisor until she was satisfied.


    She was annoying.


    The Marketing Department frequently needed to apply for budget, and she often rejected them for no


    reason. Most employees believed "the less trouble, the better", so they tolerated it every time. And they


    even sent snacks to Daisy to please her, lest she make trouble for them.


    Natalie looked at her and smiled, "You can''t understand it because your professional ability is


    insufficient. Do you have an ounting qualification certificate?"


    Daisy had entered the group through the back door, so she had no professional certificate.


    She blushed with embarrassment, suddenly pointed at the contract, and said, "Here! Why will it cost


    eight hundred dors to hire an unknown beauty KOL?"


    Daisy turned to face her colleagues and asked, "Have you heard of Royce?"


    Royce was not famous now. But he would be a Top KOL soon. And no woman could resist his


    brainwashing advertisement.


    "Buy it! Buy it! After putting on the lipstick, you will be the most charming woman!"


    Seeing her colleagues shaking their heads, Daisy said with a smug smile, "I don''t understand it. Can


    you please exin?"


    Seeing Natalie keep silent, she ironically sneered, "Is he your friend? If so, I must not approve this


    request. And I will ask the Compliance Depart to investigate if there is any transaction under the table!"


    Natalie did not flinch but retorted, "Who do you think you are? Why do I need to exin to you? Are


    you Susan?"


    She coldly continued with a smile, "Susan has approved this marketing n. Are you questioning her


    decision? Do you need her to exin it to you in person?"


    The smile disappeared in a sh, and Natalie quickly put on a cold face and said, "You just need to


    control the risk and make sure the budget is within a reasonable range. This is the average price for


    KOL like him. If you don''t understand the market situation, you should have consulted the marketing


    department before you rejected the request."


    Daisy nced at her phone, suddenly raised her head, and said, "Well, I will review the request again. I


    have something urgent to do, so I must take off now. Let''s talk about it tomorrow."


    Tomorrow? It would be toote!


    Natalie gripped her wrist and said, "Leave after you approve the request."


    "I haven''t reviewed it yet, so I can''t approve it."


    "Review it now!"


    Daisy flew into a rage and asked, "Who do you think you are? I said I have something urgent to do!


    Can''t you understand humannguage?"


    Natalie frowned, "It''s not time to get off work yet! How can you leave now? Do you think it is your


    Daisy had entered the Ramsey Group to muddle along. The group was sorge that there were all


    kinds of people. Some people werezing away every day. But if such people did not make things


    difficult for others, people would not deliberately make trouble for them.


    But Daisy had crossed the line.


    "Let go!" She shouted and stretched out to pinch Natalie.


    When the sharp nails dug into Natalie''s arm, she shouted in pain and let go.


    But Daisy lost her bnce and fell backward to the ground with a loud bang. She sat on the ground,


    pretended to be unable to get up, and wailed, "My arm hurts! It broke."


    Natalie squatted down, calmly touched her arm, and coldly said, "Stop pretending! You''re fine!"


    -


    Yesterday she scolded a colleague into tears. Today, she had even hit a colleague from another


    department.


    Kendrick thought she hade here to mess things up instead of working. She regarded thispany


    as a martial arts gym and wanted to challenge her colleagues one by one!


    He reached out to rub the center of his eyebrows and looked at the time. It was seven in the evening.


    So, he took out his phone and sent her a message, asking, "Have you had dinner?"


    "No"


    "Do you want toe over?"


    Thirty minutester, she finally replied, "I''m not hungry."


    Kendrick was speechless and casually threw the phone on the table.


    Natalie didn''t want to meet him because she knew someone must haveined to him.


    She had been here for only two days but had two conflicts with her colleagues!


    Would he think she was a troublemaker?


    She must not go to meet him now because he needed time to digest it.


    At eight, Natalie went to Kendrick''s office and bumped into Rose before going in. She whispered in


    Natalie''s ear, "Mr. Ramsey is not in a good mood now."


    Natalie frowned, "I''d better leave!"


    Rose pushed her inside and said, "Don''t worry, he will never vent his anger on you!"


    Then, she quickly closed the door.


    While Natalie walked over, Kendrick did not even look up.


    When she was about to exin, he raised his head and emotionlessly said, "I''ve approved your


    request."


    When her mobile phone suddenly beeped, she knew it was the notification of the approvalpletion.


    After passing countless checkpoints, it was finally approved. And the funding would be allocated


    tomorrow.


    She beamed with joy, happily ran over, sat on hisp, rubbed her face against his, and said, "You are


    the best."


    Kendrick put on a poker face and said, "Knock it off!"


    After he had helped her, she said he was the best. But just now, she had not replied to his message


    until half an hourter.


    Kendrick said, "I need to ask you something."


    "She fell by herself! I didn''t push her."


    Natalie immediately exined what had happened in the afternoon and told him everyone was secretly


    He said, "You always can justify yourself!"


    Hearing this, she immediately grimaced at him. Seeing him remain expressionless, she suddenly bent


    over and groaned, "My stomach hurts!"


    Kendrick stared at her and asked, "Does it hurt again?"


    Natalie desperately nodded.


    After patiently rubbing her stomach for a while, Kendrick looked down. Seeing the sly and triumphant


    smile in her eyes, he knew she was pretending. So, he narrowed his eyes, pressed his fingers on her


    skin, and moved his hand upward.

 Chapter 122 The First Choice and Only One

    Chapter 122 The First Choice and Only One


    Chapter 122 The First Choice and Only One


    Natalie immediately cast a wary look at him.


    Her reaction made his dark eyes sh with smiles. When his fingers stopped at her ribs and made a


    circle, it felt so itchy that she almost failed to hold back her groans. When he pinched her waist, she


    instantly shrank, causing her forehead to identally hit his chin.


    They were both stunned. Kendrick soon came to his senses, stretched out to rub her forehead, and


    asked, "Does it hurt?"


    She nodded. Seeing his red chin, she also reached out to rub it. And the office suddenly fell silent.


    "My stomach grumbled. Did you hear it?" Natalie suddenly said, ruining the intimate atmosphere.


    Kendrick was speechless. He took out his mobile phone and asked, "What do you want to eat?"


    She fluently replied, "Crab Roe and Shrimp dumplings."


    It was only then that Kendrick remembered he hadn''t settled ounts with her yet. After ordering the


    food, he showed her their chat history and asked, "Why did it take so long for you to reply to my


    message?"


    He had waited thirty minutes, but she had simply replied she was not hungry. When he had wanted to


    ask about it just now, she had brought up another topic.


    Natalie leaned over to have a look and said, "Well, I was angry with Daisy at the time and wondering


    why thepany hired her. She is ignorant and domineering. And she often intentionally creates


    conflicts between colleagues and dys the progress of work. She has vited ourpany''s values.


    If things go on like this, she will cause great losses."


    She had forgotten toin just now. Remembering it now, she added, "And she pinched me."


    It was Daisy that had started the fight. But there seemed no trace on her waist now.


    Kendrick pursed his lips and said, "I will ask the HR department to start an internal investigation


    tomorrow. If what you said is true, I will fire and cklist her."


    Entering the cklist meant Daisy must not work in allpanies under the Ramsey Group. If the new


    be fired.


    Seeing him speaking so coldly and ruthlessly, Natalie hadplicated emotions. So, she leaned


    against his chest and said, "I did not reply in time because I was afraid you would scold me if I came."


    After all, she had made trouble twice as soon asing to work here.


    "Although I was a little uneasy then, I believed you could distinguish between right and wrong."


    She decided to tter him first.


    Kendrick interrupted, "Knock it off. It will not work on me."


    Hearing this, she punched him in the chest with her small fist.


    He held her hand, ced it on his heart, and said, "I''ve emphasized that you shouldmunicate with


    me when you have any problems."


    "It was not a big deal. Your time is precious. I did not want to trouble you."


    He suddenly said, "I would not think you were troubling me."


    She had said she was the first choice and the only one. Although he had not responded then, he had


    kept it in mind.


    Natalie almost covered her face and screamed because it was hard to hide her pride and joy.


    When their eyes met, he thought she would passionately kiss him after hearing his affectionate and


    touching words. But the beauty lightly bit her lower lip with her white teeth, shyly looked at him, and


    softly said, "If so, please let the Finance Department quickly review and approve my other budget

    request!"


    Daisy had rejected her request, so she had not submitted the other one yet.


    Kendrick was speechless, thinking she was insatiable. He looked at the file submitted by her on his


    mobile phone and suddenly asked, "Who is Royce?"


    "He is a makeup KOL. I n to sign a five-year contract with him. And all the brands under our group


    will cooperate with him."


    Natalie clicked on the shopping software and opened Royce''s live broadcast. He was handsome and


    eloquent. Although he did not have many followers, he sounded witty.


    Seeing Kendrick frown, Natalie knew things would not be easy.


    Sure enough, he habitually asked, "Why do we have to sign a five-year contract with him?"


    Kendrick opened the ranking list and found Royce''s name at the bottom. Then, he said, "His current


    poprity is moderate. The live broadcast industry has frequent iterations. Are you sure he will be


    more popr? Can he remain popr for five years?"


    Natalie wanted to p herself. She had chosen to go to the fashion marketing department because she


    did not want to directly report to Kendrick. Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of energy dealing


    with him because of his usual critical work attitude.


    But now, she had shot herself in the foot.


    She took a deep breath and exined, "Although he is not the most popr one, the number of his


    followers has been increasing. And the unit sale of his customers is at the forefront. He has best sales


    performance in cosmetics for three years and has a strong ability to sell goods. We should cooperate


    with him in advance because of his great potential."


    This exnation could not convince Kendrick, so he remained silent, pondering and weighing the pros


    and cons.


    "Susan has read the n and thinks it is ok," Natalie added.


    Hearing this, he instantly turned to look at her, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a sullen face, "Do


    you think I shouldn''t have asked?"


    The Ramsey Group was internallyplicated. And the fight for equity and power had be


    increasingly fierce.


    Kendrick had a strong desire to control everything and did not allow others to interfere when making


    important decisions. Moreover, he had been secretly expanding the boundaries of his authority.


    Natalie realized that she had said the wrong words but felt wronged.


    She had taken the shares ande to work here because she wanted to increase their brand


    awareness, help the group make profits, and prove herself.


    She had made the ns after careful consideration, although she had used her knowledge of how the


    world would develop in the next two years.


    Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, she suddenly didn''t want him to hold her. When she tried to stand up


    from hisp, she failed to push away the arm around her waist because he was unwilling to let go. She


    wanted to pry open his fingers, but there was a great disparity between them in strength.


    While leisurely watching her making efforts in vain herk, Kendrick rhythmically tapped his fingers on her


    waist.


    When she looked up at him in anger, he reached out his left hand to pinch her chin. But she turned her


    face away to avoid him.


    He sped her chin with one hand, turned her face back, and said with amusement, "Are you angry?


    Can''t I ask you questions about your work?"


    "But your attitude is too bad!"


    He had always been stern at work and often scolded the executives. And his words were so harsh that


    they wanted to push open the window and jump off the building.


    But Natalie had never seen it. He had always been gentle and partial toward her.


    She was in her period today, so she was moody. Because he had always pampered her, so she feared


    nothing and angrily said, "You doubt my n. You don''t trust my ability! And you even red at me!"


    She thought of his evil deedsst night. He had pressed her against the table, fixed her hands behind


    her back, and prohibited her from moving. Once she had moved, he would bite her harder. She didn''t


    know how to describe that feeling. But something had turbulently flown out together with her menses.


    Kendrick pressed his index finger on her lips, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "I have never


    doubted your n."


    Soon, he felt a slight tingle from the fingertip because Natalie bit on it.

 Chapter 123 A Bad Man

    Chapter 123 A Bad Man


    Chapter 123 A Bad Man


    He instantly narrowed his dark eyes, quickly put his fingertip on her lower jaw, and slowly swept along


    the inside.


    Natalie had wanted to retaliate against him and never expected it to backfire on herself. When she was


    stunned, he pressed the finger against her pte. She felt so ufortable that tears welled up in her


    eyes. So, she held his hand to stop him from continuing.


    But she underestimated his evilness. When Kendrick saw her slightly opened crimson lips and teary


    eyes, an undercurrent surged in his eyes, making them look like the deep sea without light.


    He did not want to let her go. So, he yed with the tip of her tongue and continued to tease her.


    "Are you still biting me?"


    His finger touched the position close to her throat, so her face turned pale.


    Seeing her admit defeat, he slowly retracted his finger. When he picked up the cup on the table to feed


    her water, she turned her face aside.


    His actions just now made her feel inexplicably ashamed and inadaptable.


    He held the cup in front of her lips and coaxed her, saying, "Have some water."


    Seeing her not respond, he chuckled, "What about I let you bite me again?"


    Hearing this, she lowered her head and obediently drank the water.


    After putting the cup down, Kendrick unhurriedly said, "You just came to thepany and set a target


    of 15 million dors. Many eyes are watching you. You must control risks in advance to avoid


    subsequent trouble."


    Her face was still pale, although she had drunk the water.


    Seeing her so pitiful, he gently stroked her forehead and said, "If you are determined, you can sign the


    contract with him."


    They were on the same boat, so he would not let her bear the pressure alone. He would help her when


    she got in trouble.


    Natalie finally caught her breath and said, "I have confidence. I have a unique judgment of character.


    And I believe he will be a remarkable sess."


    When she looked up at him, she did not dare to stare at his face for too long.


    Suddenly, his phone rang. The takeaway had arrived. Then, she ate in unusual silence. She always


    talked during meals, so he was not used to her quiet today.


    When Natalie was eating with her head down, she saw him reaching out one hand from the corner of


    her eye. So, she reflexively leaned aside to avoid it.


    After he wiped the crumbs off her cheek, she saw a meaningful smile in his eyes. So, she felt she had


    misjudged him.


    D*mn it! He turned out to be such a bad man!


    --


    Daisy swore she would seek revenge and make endless trouble for the marketing department at night.


    But the HR department made an appointment with her early in the morning.


    The Ramsey Group was well organized and had high efficiency.


    Before she could defend herself, the HR manager said with a smile, "ording to our investigation and


    the feedback from your colleagues, we confirm you neglect your duty and create conflicts between


    colleagues at work. In addition, you lied on your resume. I am sorry, but you do not meet the


    employment requirements of the Ramsey Group."


    Daisy was suddenly fired. And her name immediately disappeared from the OA system. She had left


    something in the office. But when she came back to fetch it, the ess control system refused to let


    her in.


    Everyone was incredibly happy to hear the news.


    When Natalie came out with her notebook after a meeting, she walked past Sam''s working desk and


    saw him carefully cleaning it.


    When Sam heard Daisy had been fired in the morning, he was so happy that he wanted to let off


    fireworks at Ramsey Industrial Park to celebrate it. Daisy had not done him any favor and often


    rejected his requests for no reason. And he had even humbly begged her several times.


    But he soon realized Natalie was not simple and suspected she was also some executive''s woman. He


    could not afford to offend her, but he could avoid her. So, he instantly decided to stay away from her.


    "Are you moving away?"


    Although Natalie hade for only a few days, she was good at saying hypocritical words in the


    workce.


    Sam showed a fake smile and said, "Yes, I''m going to move to the front. Your team should sit together


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    for bettermunication."


    It was a good ce with excellent natural light. Since he had moved here, he had quickly gotten a


    promotion and pay raise.


    "Thank you."


    Natalie happily epted his kind offer.


    Sam''s attitude was exceptionally friendly when he replied, "You''re wee. Go for it! I believe you will


    achieve 200% of the goal."


    After cleaning the desk, he soon left, thinking he was smart. Fortunately, he had only secretly


    or retreat with ease. He had worked in the advertising and media circle for ten years, so he had a good


    sense of proportion.


    --


    When the budget was approved, themunication with Royce''s team was alsopleted.


    He was not famous now, so he had not signed a contract with any big MCNpany. Therefore, it


    would be easy to talk over the contract.


    Natalie handed the matter over to Sadie. She was busy every day, so she assigned such detailed work


    to her team members.


    Sadie looked at the contract and uncertainly asked, "Natalie, why are we signing a five-year contract


    with him?"


    Natalie took Flower Face''s Crimson Fairy lipstick out of her bag and carefully applied it on her lips in


    front of the makeup mirror.


    Then, she turned to face Sadie and asked, "How do I look?"


    Sadie ttered her, saying, "You look great. It made you look more fair-skinned."


    Natalieughed, "That''s it?"


    Sadie frowned, unable to think of any other suitable adjectives for now.


    Natalie showed a pretty smile and said, "You should say the color of the lipstick is terrific! It sets off my


    fair skin and makes me the prettiest woman in the office. And it''s very suitable for daily makeup in


    autumn and winter. Every girl must have one!"


    Sadie was speechless.


    Natalie put the lipstick back into her bag and said, "If you say it this way, your words will sound more


    contagious and make others more willing to buy it."


    She sent Royce''s live broadcast to Sadie and said, "He praises every lipstick with diffident words. He is


    anguage genius. Believe me! You will want to ce an order after watching it."


    Sadie was convinced.


    Today was Sadie''s birthday, so Nia booked a private room in a restaurant and bought a cake to


    celebrate it.


    Nia sent Natalie a message, asking, "Natalie, today is Sadie''s birthday. Would you like to have dinner


    with us?"


    They were working in the same project team, and all the team members were hard-working and


    honest, so Natalie readily agreed.


    But she must inform Kendrick in advance. He had note to thepany today because he had


    gone to the Ramsey family to report to Seth on the progress of the work. And he had fetched a thing in


    passing.


    On the way back home, he received Natalie''s message.


    "Okay,e home early."


    "We will go to see a movie after dinner, " Natalie replied with a crying emoji.


    They had never gone to see a movie together for several reasons. But now, she was going to watch a


    movie with others?


    "You owe me a movie. When will you go with me?"


    "On Sunday! I have already selected the movie. We will watch it after the medical check."


    Then, she sent him a long string of hearts, dazzling his eyes.


    Kendrick smiled, took out an exquisite velvet square box from the gift bag beside him, and opened it,


    revealing a delicate silver bracelet.

    Chapter 124 Will You Abandon Me?


    The weather was excellent on Sunday. Falling ginkgo leaves were everywhere on both sides of the


    street. Many tourists were taking pictures under the red wall. And autumn felt gentle.


    Kendrick had a medical exam today. He hadpleted the acupuncture treatment. And the low-


    frequency pulse electrotherapy had started.


    While waiting outside, Natalie was reading his medical exam report.


    Judging from his current recovery speed, he could undergo the operation in the middle or at the end of


    this month.


    When Owen came over and stood in front of her, she looked up and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "We have trouble."


    Natalie stood up and followed him to his office.


    "The recovery drug GM-1 is banned."


    Owen told her the bad news, turned on theputer, and printed out the recently banned drugs. GM-1


    was on the list.


    GM-1 was the most advanced drug to promote nerve growth and embryonic tissue development.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Although its production process was extremelyplex, it was powerful. Hamgrad had not mastered


    the technique yet. And it was rare in the world.


    Natalie had been involved in the research and development of the drug, so she understood what Owen


    meant as soon as he mentioned it.


    Owen said, "I have a spare injection. I brought it back in the name of academic research when I


    returned from abroad. But it is not enough. And the current domestic pharmaceutical technology cannot


    produce GM-1for the time being."


    Natalie said with a deep frown, "GM-1 is the most important recovery drug. Unlike other drugs, it is


    indispensable."


    "Smuggling?"


    Natalie shook her head, "There''s no need to take such a big risk."


    She nced at the list of prohibited drugs and said, "We need to figure out a legal way. Can you


    contact other doctors and ask them to help bring some back in the name of academic research?"


    Owen frowned, "The president signed the executive order in person, so the control must be strict. But I


    will give it a shoot."


    "Thank you, Owen."


    Owen gently smiled in response.


    He was a sincere and kind person, so Natalie was willing to give him all the honors and a ce in


    future textbooks.


    Then, he seriously said, "Mr. Ramsey is recovering quickly. It is estimated that he can undergo surgery


    in mid-tote October."


    "Okay, please make the arrangements and notify him after you set the time. I will let him drop every


    work no matter what."


    Natalie looked at Owen and soothed him, saying, "Don''t worry. I''ll be there too."


    Owen sighed, "If Mr. Ramsey knows..."


    Natalie sighed in a mncholy voice, "Let''s wait until the surgery is sessfully performed."


    -


    Natalie kept thinking about GM-1 after leaving Owen''s office. And she googled President Williamson.


    He held a dual Ph.D. Ph.D. in quantum physics and economics, so he must be very smart. No wonder


    he had been voted as the president!


    But he was not kind to the Ramsey Group. Since he hade to power, he had beenmitted to


    weakening the power of the plutocrats to reduce their influence on the economy. And the Ramsey


    Group bore the brunt of it.


    Kendrick asked bedside her, "Why are you sighing?"


    Natalie was surprised to hear it and asked, "Did I sigh?"


    "Yes."


    And her sign was low but sad.


    Meeting his ck eyes, Natalie didn''t know where to start, so she perfunctorily said, "I have intermittent


    mood swings. Don''t worry. I''ll be fine after having something yummy."


    Kendrickughed and asked, "What movie are we watching tonight?"


    Natalie winked at him and said, "A romanticedy. No spoiler. You will know soon."


    --


    The movie Natalie chose was named Love in Another World.


    The heroine was a college student who lovedics. By ident, she entered one of her favorite


    used her gentleness and kindness to tolerate and influenced him. In the original story, he became a


    murderer and ended up in jail. But after meeting her, he studied hard and changed his life.


    It was a very positive story. Natalie had searched online for a long time before finding this niche low-


    budget film.


    Kendrick frowned, not wanting to watch a campus movie.


    Natalie intended to help him get psychologically prepared, so she coaxed him, saying, "It has a score


    of 8.0. It must be not bad."


    It was their first movie date, so they should watch a sweet romance movie than a mind-twisting


    suspense one!


    When Kendrick turned on the projector, Natalie immediately went to fetch the popcorn and coke she


    had bought in advance.


    At the end of the movie, the heroine returned to her original world. And the hero gave up everything


    and followed her back, although he had already be a top star in his world.


    When the movie ended, a line of words slowly appeared on the screen.


    "Love stays oceans apart, oceans an easy reach."


    Kendrick quietly watched it with a poker face. The core of the movie was thest sentence. But Mr.


    Ramsey couldn''t understand it because of his life experience.


    When he raised his hand to turn on the wallmp, he found Natalie had quietly cried in the dark.


    It was a sweet romanticedy. Why was she crying?


    Heforted her, saying, "It''s just a story. There are a lot of dramatic elements. Don''t take it seriously."


    He took out a tissue, held her face, and wiped off her tears.


    Natalie had always been optimistic and cheerful. So, it was rare to see her so vulnerable and sad.


    After he coaxed her in a deep voice for a while, she finally said in a muffled voice, "If you were the


    hero, would you give up everything to stay with your beloved woman?"


    Kendrick fell silent because he had never thought of such a thing before. In his world, he barely gave a


    thing to get another.


    Seeing him keep silent, Natalie thought she should not have asked such a silly and boring question.


    The atmosphere froze.


    When she was about to break the ice, Kendrick''s slender fingers brushed her hair and touched her


    neck. Looking into her eyes, he solemnly and seriously answered, "I will go wherever you go!"


    He wiped away tears in the corner of her eyes with his thumb and smiled, "Unless you don''t want me to


    stay with you."


    He leaned over, pressed his forehead against hers, and deliberately lowered his voice when asking,


    "Will you abandon me, Nat?"


    She would never abandon him. She wanted to be with him forever, so she immediately shook her head


    hard and solemnly replied, "No."


    She then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him full of the vor of c and caramel.


    Soon, he took the initiative, and the kiss became aggressive.


    Natalie''s mood swung. As soon as he lightly struck her tense heartstrings, a string of notes flew out.


    She felt dazed and unrealistic as if stepping on a cloud.


    When she sobered up, her top had slipped from her shoulders to her waist.


    When he put his hands on her shoulders, his slender fingers were lightly fiddling with the thin ck


    straps.

    Chapter 125 Honey


    Natalie immediately said, "Kendrick!"


    Kendrick paused, moved his thin lips away from hers, kissed her earlobe, and said in a deep voice,


    "How should you call me?"


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ken."


    Her mind was unclear for the time being.


    After he punitively bit her earlobe, she finally came to her senses and called him honey.


    Hearing this, he chuckled, tilted his head, and stared at her with a gentle smile. The yellow light was


    dim. When it fell on his face, his smiling handsome face looked softer. Natalie''s heart melted into sugar


    water by his smile, and it was bubbling.


    Soon, he kissed her lips again. And then, the gentle kisses went all the way down her neck and


    corbones.


    Her long ck hair hung freely over her fair-skinned and smooth back, making her look like Aphrodite


    born in the sea foam. And she was the symbol of beauty and love.


    After a while, Natalie inexplicably shivered with cold because of the temperature.


    Kendrick raised his head and asked, "Is it cold?"


    He touched her skin and felt a little cold. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he restrained


    himself, put her coat on her, and then stretched his hands to her back to fasten the buttons. But he


    found it a bit difficult to button up her bra.


    He knew how to untie it but did not know how to button it. Men were all like this!


    "I can button it myself," Natalie said, but her voice was different from usual.


    Leaning against his chest, she silently and shyly fixed her clothes.


    When Kendrick looked down, he saw her cheeks blushing as if she were wearing rouge. And he


    thought she looked quite pretty like this. He could not help smiling. After all, she had boldly flirted with


    him several minutes ago but suddenly felt shy now.


    He handed the blue velvet box to her and said, "I have a gift for you!"


    Natalie took it over in surprise, raised her head, and asked, "What is this?"


    Kendrick motioned to her to open it.


    It was a delicate silver bracelet that was exquisitely shaped.


    "I prepared it a long time ago," he said.


    It was the Ramsey family''s tradition that men must give their beloved women a bracelet with their


    family emblem. It was a token of their love.


    Kendrick had prepared it before getting married but had not found a proper opportunity to give it to her.


    He took out the bracelet, pointed to the heart-shaped ornament, and said, "The ginkgo leaf engraved


    here is the Ramsey family''s emblem."


    Ginkgo was tenacious and calm. There was a petiole and two leaves. It meant the couple would stay


    together in harmony.


    After listening to his exnation, Natalie felt sweet in her heart. And it felt pleasant to be his beloved


    woman.


    She also saw his name engraved under the ginkgo leaf in an elegant curlicue. And it meant the


    bracelet was from him.


    Kendrick held her slender left wrist, carefully put the bracelet on for her, and said, "Don''t take it off!"


    She must wear it for the rest of her life because it was a token of his possession.


    --


    Natalie hade to thepany for a week but hadpleted the work others would spend a month


    doing.


    She was extremely efficient and quickly implemented her n.


    After signing the contract with Royce, she required him to finish at least twenty live broadcasts about


    Flower Face from October 10th to November 10th.


    At the same time, she began to contact beauty bloggers with loyal followers for advertisement.


    After Daisy had left, her requests for budget and contract had all been approved quickly because


    everyone guessed she had a backer.


    Even the HR vice president Mr. Levy was polite to her. After she said that she was short of hands and


    that it was troublesome to coordinate the work with other teams, Mr. Levy immediatelymunicated


    with other departments, saying her project was so important that everyone must cooperate. Mr. Levy


    had worked here for nearly 20 years, but Natalie had entered the group for a week!


    Chad was the head of the financial business and Kendrick''s uncle. But he was also very friendly to


    Natalie and had even offered to give his parking space to her.


    So, all the employees believed her backer must be enormously powerful.


    Natalie knew how people were talking about her behind her back. Many people were waiting to see her


    make a fool of herself because they did not believe she could aplish the goal. But she did not


    care.


    Although she was aggressive and tough at work, she was easygoing at other times and never shirked


    responsibility. And she had never yelled at any of her team members.


    Sadie admired her very much. Although Natalie was two years younger than her, the former''s vision


    and ability were far superior to hers. Sadie wasn''t jealous but just wanted to ride on her coattails.


    When Natalie was having a meeting with the supply chain and operation departments in the afternoon,


    Sadie opened Twitter to collect information rted to Flower Face.


    Soon, a negative message popped up.


    A beauty blogger named Haylie posted a long tweet. She said after trying the lipstick of Flower Face,


    she had an allergy. Her lips swelled, and she had a rash around them. She even started to have


    allergies in her neck and cheeks. Now, she had been put on a drip in the hospital. During this time, she


    had only used Flower Face''s lipstick. And the doctor had told her it might be a cosmetic allergy. So, she


    advised her followers to pay special attention. If they had sensitive skin, they should not try Flower


    Face''s lipstick. Otherwise, they might suffer from allergies like her.


    Haylie had millions of followers and was a top beauty blogger. Flower Fac had not selected her this


    time because her price was too high. The input-output ratio was too low, so it would not be cost-


    effective.


    Sadie had a bad feeling. If this matter was blown up, it would affect the subsequent live broadcast sale


    and even the whole promotion. So, she immediately sent a screenshot to their chatting group and


    @Natalie.


    Natalie was speaking at the meeting and was stunned when seeing Sadie''s message.


    The number of retweets had reached one thousand and was still growing. Many media and Haylie''s


    friends in the circle had retweeted it to support her. If things continued like this, it would be a PR


    crisis. Natalie rubbed the ce between her brows, feeling a bit tired.


    She immediately said, "Let''s end today''s meeting. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any


    problems, we canmunicate online. The colleague from the quality control department needs to


    stay here for a little longer."


    Natalie showed him Haylie''s tweet and said, "A beauty KOL said she has an allergy after using our


    lipstick and has been hospitalized. The number of retweets has exceeded one thousand."


    "Our lipsticks are made of natural materials and have undergone strict hormone and allergen tests.


    How could such a thing happen?"


    Natalie wanted to bang on the table because he was talking nonsense.


    She pursed her lips and said, "Send me the test reports issued by all authoritative organizations. Find


    out the production batch number of the lipstick she used and send that batch for future inspection."


    The colleague immediately went to execute her order.


    Natalie then flipped through Haylie''s tweets.


    Haylie looked distinctive and was like two people before and after putting on makeup. Her videos were


    funny and rxed, so she had a lot of loyal followers.


    Many of her followers had leftments tofort her, saying they would never buy any products of


    Flower Face in the future.


    Natalie frowned deeply. She was not sure whether someone had maliciously framed them. Or maybe


    Haylie had indeed had an allergy after using their products.

 Chapter 126 Deep in Love

    Chapter 126 Deep in Love


    Chapter 126 Deep in Love


    Natalie calmly thought for a while and gradually had a clear solution in her mind.


    She immediately asked her colleagues to deal with the negative trending topic.


    After getting the inspection letter from authoritative organizations, she asked the PR department to


    issue an official statement on Twitter. And she had personally reviewed the draft. It was a PR Trilogy.


    They must express their concerns, disassociate themselves from the matter, and tell people they would


    pay close attention to the follow-up.


    Kendrick called her at eight in the evening.


    She had told him she would go backte in advance and asked him not to wait for her.


    "Why haven''t youe back?"


    Natalie replied in frustration, "Something went wrong, so I have to deal with it now."


    "Is it because of the lipstick allergy?"


    Kendrick was paying attention too.


    Natalie sighed, "Yes. We are contacting Haylie, but she refused tomunicate with us."


    "It will not help even if you wait in thepany. Come back. It''s going to rain."


    "OK."


    When Natalie drove back, a light rain began to fall and rattled on the car windows.


    It was getting colder in autumn. She suddenly felt life in this world was much more difficult than the


    previous one because she often had "missions impossible".


    There had been too much unwee newstely. GM-1 had been banned. She had just worked in the


    Her emotional life was going on too smoothly, so God must give her some setbacks in other aspects,


    right?


    Natalie stared at the bracelet on her left wrist with a faint smile. As long as he was by her side, there


    would be no need to worry about anything.


    Kendrick was waiting for her to have dinner together at home. Before she arrived, he asked Ashlynn to


    heat the food again.


    The lights in the house looked warm.


    After changing her shoes in the hallway, Natalie saw Kendrick waiting for her in the dining room.


    Instantly, all her worries disappeared. And she could see only him in her eyes.


    She quickly walked over and asked, "Are you still waiting for me?"


    "Yeah."


    Kendrick served her a bowl of soup and said, "Eat. We''ll talk about the troubleter."


    Natalie obediently began to have the meal.


    After dinner, She told him the ins and outs of the whole thing as well as her current processing


    progress.


    Kendrick had no problem with it. Her handling was indeed prompt and effective.


    Natalie took out her mobile phone, showed him Haylie''s Twitter, and said, "Last year, she promoted the


    lipstick of a foreign brand. We cooperate with the same manufacturer. And our raw materials are


    simr. She did not have any difort then. But when she used Flower Face''s lipstick, she had


    allergies. It is unreasonable!"


    Kendrick nced at her and frowned.


    "Maybe one of ourpetitors bought her over and asked her to frame us. But she is a KOL with


    millions of followers, I don''t think she needs to risk her future for money. What''s more, Flower Face is


    not a top-tier brand. There is no need to adopt such a dirty method against us."


    Natalie patiently analyzed, "I guess something else caused her allergy, but she does not know."


    Therefore, she wanted to meet Haylie to confirm what was going on.


    Suddenly, Kendrick''s cell phone rang. It was from Brock. And he said Haylie was at Prosperity Hospital


    which was a high-end private hospital under the Ramsey Group.


    Natalie immediately got up, intending to go to the hospital.


    Kendrick stopped her and asked, "Do you know what time it is now?"


    It was ten o''clock. And it was raining heavily outside.


    Natalie insisted on going, but he grabbed her by the hand and said, "Let Brock contact her."


    Natalie said, "No, Brock will scare her."


    Then, she added with a smile, "Brock is capable. But as soon as he appears in her ward, she will think


    he wants to break her arm."


    Kendrick was amused by her words.


    Natalie opened Twitter and showed it to him, saying, "Although our PR department has taken action,


    negative hashtags constantly appear. If I can''t solve it as soon as possible, it may cause an


    immeasurable loss to our brand image."


    She squatted down, held his face, and said, "I must deal with it properly to prevent it from causing any


    impact on the promotion. Could you please let me go?"


    They were simr people, so their characters perfectly fit.


    Her flirtation had not moved Kendrick at the beginning. It was her personality and way of doing things


    that had attracted him and made him deeply in love with her.


    "Let Brock go with you."


    Hepromised in the end.


    "I''ll be back soon!"


    Natalie kissed him on the cheek and said with a gentle smile, "I love you!"


    -


    Haylie had stayed in the hospital for a day, and her condition did not improve. She took out her mirror


    and looked at her face for a long time. The rash was still severe. She was a beauty blogger, so her face


    was an extremely important asset.


    The door was pushed open, and a gust of wind came in. Someone walked into the ward, but the


    The woman in the front was wearing a ssic khaki windbreaker, ck high-waisted trousers, and


    stiletto heels. Haylie did not see her face until she got closer. She was young and wearing exquisite


    makeup, but her aura was aggressive.


    "Who are you? How could you break into my ward? I''m going to call security!"


    Natalie approached her, sat beside her bed, took out a business card from the bag, hand it to her, and


    said, "I am Natalie Quinn, the brand director of Flower Face!"


    Haylie widened her eyes and looked at Natalie and the big mixed-race man behind her in horror. After


    all, his neck was thicker than his face. And she wondered whether they hade to silence her.


    Natalie smiled, "Don''t be afraid. I''m here to find out what is going on. I won''t harm you. And I hope we


    can friendlymunicate. If Flower Face''s products have any quality problem and cause you any


    harm, I will apologize andpensate you."


    She then turned to look at Brock and said, "Please go out first!"


    Brock obediently went out.


    Natalie took out two documents from her limited-edition bag and handed them to Haylie. Seeing she


    manage to get the bag, Haylie thought Natalie was awesome!


    Natalie unhurriedly said, "This is theposition analysis of Flower Face''s products. You have once


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    promoted lipsticks with simrposition. Did you feel any difort at that time?"


    Haylie subconsciously touched her neck and replied, "No!"


    She was wearing a silver ne, and there was a rash around her neck.


    Natalie stopped her, saying, "Don''t touch your neck. The allergy will get more serious."


    Haylie immediately dropped her hand.


    "Our lipsticks have been tested. They are free of hormones and do not have any chemicals harmful to


    humans."


    Natalie stared at her and asked, "Is there any exposure to other allergens?"


    She patiently and gently added, "If you figure it out, you will recover sooner. You rely on your face to


    make a living. If you cannot update your channel for a long time, your poprity and ie will be


    affected."


    Haylie was upset about her ie decrease, so she angrily said, "The doctor said it is an allergy to


    cosmetics. I have applied nothing new to my skin but your lipstick. I have used the other products


    before and never had an allergy."


    Natalie took another look at the rash around her neck, stared at her ne, and asked, "Have you


    worn the ne for a long time?"


    "No, it is new."


    "Silver?"


    "It is a gift from my boyfriend. And he said it is solid silver."


    Natalie showed a thoughtful look, immediately got up, and left the ward.


    Brock followed behind her and asked. "Ma''am, where are we going?"


    "Go to meet her doctor."


    She had guessed what was going on. It was the ne instead of the lipstick that had caused the


    allergy.

 Chapter 127 Men Are All Jerks

    Chapter 127 Men Are All Jerks


    Chapter 127 Men Are All Jerks


    Dr. Sloan was on duty in the dermatology department today. When he was updating medical records,


    the door was pushed open.


    "Can I have a look at the medical records of the patient in Ward 3602?"


    Dr. Sloan raised his head in astonishment and looked at the unexpected visitor.


    Natalie walked over to him and continued, "Her symptoms are not like those of a cosmetic allergy. It


    should be a metal allergy."


    "Who are you?"


    Dr. Sloan raised his voice and asked, "Who let you in?"


    How could she arrogantly order him to do things? What a rude woman!


    Natalie was speechless, thinking her tone was indeed improper.


    She froze for a while. When she was about to speak politely with a smile, Brock suddenly walked over


    and banged on the table so hard that the sses on it rattled.


    "Watch your mouth! This is Mrs. Ramsey!"


    Brock stood in front of him, folded his arms over his chest, and widened his eyes in anger.


    Dr. Sloan freaked out. Aftering to his senses, he adjusted his sses that almost fell off his nose


    bridge, looked through the medical records, and said, "Here is her medical record!"


    Natalie had a rough look and politely said, "Please prescribe some chlorpheniramine for her and


    persuade her into sending the ne to a testing institution forponent identification."


    When Dr. Sloan hesitated, Brock red at him again. Seeing this, Dr. Sloan immediately got up and


    went to the ward.


    The doctors had spected it was an allergy to metal jewelry this afternoon, but Haylie had said it was


    impossible because it was a sterling silver ne.


    Silver ions were stable and would not cause allergies unless they contained impurities. Haylie''s allergy


    symptoms had not been relieved after an entire day, so she also began to have doubts. Therefore,


    when Dr. Sloan asked her to take off the ne for inspection, she handed it over after hesitating for


    a second.


    Natalie smiled, "Ms. Wyatt, we will bear the testing fee. But if the ne is confirmed to be the


    allergen, please cooperate with us and rify the matter."


    Meeing Natalie''s seemingly gentle but cold gaze, Haylie lowered her eyes and remained silent.


    After a while, she said, "Let''s just wait for the test results now!"


    Then, she raised her head to look at Natalie and asked in embarrassment, "Can you please pour me a


    ss of water?"


    It was not convenient for her to do it because she was on a drip.


    Natalie nodded and went to pour her a ss of warm water.


    Haylie picked up her cell phone, dialed a number, and asked, "Where are you? Why don''t youe to


    take care of me?"


    The person on the other end of the phone might have said something to anger Haylie. Then she


    furiously cursed, "I am hospitalized and haven''t eaten anything since this morning. Why can''t you


    watching! F*ck! How dare you hang up on me!"


    Haylie threw away the phone and patted her chest to calm herself down.


    Natalie handed a ss of water to her and gently said, "Drink some water. It''s hot. Be careful!"


    Haylie took the ss over and thanked her.


    The water temperature was just right.


    After downing the water in one gulp, she was still angry. So, she picked up her phone and called the


    man again, but he rejected her call.


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Haylie opened her mouth and shouted out a string of filthy words.


    Then, she clutched her stomach and wailed on the bed, "I''m starving to death! The takeaway can''t be


    delivered. And no one is taking care of me!"


    Natalie put down the ss and asked, "What do you want to eat? I''ll ask my friend to buy it."


    Haylie had not realized she was still there until hearing her words.


    She instantly sat up, cleared her throat, and asked, "Won''t it be too troublesome?"


    Natalie shook her head, "No. And you can order anything you want."


    "Well, fried chicken and Coke will be fine!"


    "No problem."


    Natalie soon asked Brock to buy the food.


    After taking the medicine, Haylie felt less itchy in her neck and face. She lightly scratched her neck,


    took out her mirror, and found the rash had subsided a lot.


    Natalie had also noticed it.


    When Haylie put down the mirror, she happened to meet her gentle eyes, and her hair suddenly stood


    up on end.


    So, she drylyughed, "I feel less itchy now."


    Natalie smiled, "That''s great. I''m relieved to see your condition improving."


    Haylie had thought Natalie would scold her. But she said nothing after expressing her care. So, Haylie


    felt she had underestimated Natalie. She turned out to be such a broad-minded big-picture thinker.


    Soon, Brock brought fried chicken and Coke into the ward.


    He was tall and burly, wearing ck clothes and trousers. As soon as he walked in, the ward became


    cramped.


    Haylie nkly stared at the big man who was almost 6.2 feet tall and found he was mixed-race. And his


    tough facial features made him look very manly.


    Embarrassed by her gaze, Brock put down the food bag and said, "Ma''am, I''ll go out now."


    "Okay."


    Watching him go out, Haylie withdrew her gaze, took out a chicken leg from the bag, and gnawed on it.


    After taking two bites, she suddenly said in a sobbing voice, "Men are all jerks! There is no good man


    in the world!"


    Natalie was speechless, thinking Kendrick was an exception. No! Sometimes, he was also very bad!


    Haylie thought of something, suddenly had a mental breakdown, and burst into tears. Seeing her raise


    her hand and indiscriminately wipe her face, Natalie guessed it was because her boyfriend had refused


    to take care of her.


    Natalie never interfered in other people''s emotional lives, so she just handed her a tissue in silence.


    After crying for a while, Haylie calmed down, wiped the tears off with the tissue, and whispered, "I''m


    sorry. Please don''tugh at me."


    She then raised the chicken leg and said, "Thank you for the supper."


    Then, she picked up her phone again, deleted the tweet, and said, "I deleted it. And I''m sorry for the


    bad influence I caused."


    Natalie stood up and said, "Have a good rest. I won''t disturb you any longer. When the test results


    "Okay." Haylie nodded, pointed to her bag, and asked, "Can you still buy this bag? I have long wanted


    one, but it is always out of stock."


    Natalie smiled, "I will try."


    "Thanks!"


    --


    After leaving the ward, Natalie asked Brock to check where the ne was purchased.


    It was a T-brand ne. But she guessed it was a high-quality knockoff. And ordinary people could


    not see the difference with the naked eye.


    Even though Haylie had promised to help rify the matter, Natalie wanted to y it safe. So, she had


    a backup n.


    After Haylie had deleted the tweet, many people began to suspect Flower Face had threatened her.


    It was early morning now. Natalie told the PR department that they did not need to issue a statement. It


    was better to let things simmer now. Since they could make use of this misunderstanding to publicize


    their products for free, they must not miss such a good opportunity.


    It was two in the morning when she arrived home.


    The autumn night was freezing. So, her hands and feet were cold. Her clothes were wet in the fine rain,


    but she did not feel ufortable. And her footsteps became much lighter than before.


    If she handled this matter properly, it would not have any negative impact on the brand but would


    be a good marketing opportunity.


    The night light at home was still on. And it was warm inside the house.


    Natalie lightly changed her shoes at the entrance. When she tiptoed into the living room, she found


    Kendrick leaning back on the sofa under a thin nket while reading a book.


    Why had not he gone to bed?

 Chapter 128 I Love Only You

    Chapter 128 I Love Only You


    Chapter 128 I Love Only You


    Seeing Natalie back, Kendrick closed the book and asked, "Have you solved it?"


    "It''s almost done. Haylie deleted the tweet. After the testing resultse out tomorrow, she will


    cooperate with us to rify it."


    Natalie let out a sigh of relief and said, "It has nothing to do with our cosmetics. The allergy is caused


    by her jewelry."


    Seeing her little face turn pale with cold, Kendrick held her cold hand. But Natalie naughtily pulled it out


    and stuck it to his neck. He shrank his neck because of the cold. However, he did not push her away


    but let her press her hand on his neck.


    Natalie quickly withdrew her hand and put it back in his palm.


    Kendrick held her hand until it got warm and said, "Go upstairs to take a shower. It''s gettingte. Let''s


    talk about it tomorrow."


    "Aren''t you going upstairs?"


    "I''ll stay here for a little longer."


    Natalie didn''t force him but went back to her bedroom to take a shower.


    She was sleepy but excited. Fortunately, she had a keen eye and enough experience to tell it was a


    metal allergy. If she handled it properly, it would not have any negative influence on the promotion but


    would bring unexpected gains.


    Was it because of her good luck?


    Not really. It relied on her capability!


    Natalie was proud of herself, hummed a song, turned off the shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and


    left the bathroom.


    When she put on her pajamas before going to bed, there was a knock on the door. After opening the


    door, she saw Kendrick holding a ss of hot milk outside. He had stayed downstairs to warm the milk


    for her.


    She secretly apologized to him for having thought he was a bad man and immediately let hime in


    with a smile.


    The temperature of the milk was just right.


    She downed it in one gulp, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said, "Haylie did not maliciously intend to


    frame us, but her tweet caused damage to our brand image. We can sue her. But I think this is a good


    marketing opportunity."


    If they sued Haylie, thewsuit would take a long time, and Flower Face might not necessarily take


    advantage of it.


    But if they made use of the twist to market their products, it would bring a win-win result. After all,


    Haylie had a lot of followers.


    Kendrick said, "A win-win situation is the best."


    "Do you also think so?"


    Natalie blinked. After getting his support, she became more confident and said, "I will persuade her into


    cooperating with us."


    Natalie yawned and threw herself on the bed with her hair wrapped in a shower cap.


    Kendrick immediately frowned, "Get up and dry your hair."


    She mumbled, "But I''m too sleepy!"


    She was so sleepy that she would fall asleep as soon as closing her eyes.


    Kendrick helplessly asked, "Where''s the hair dryer?"


    "I don''t know. Somewhere in the bathroom."


    While she was resting with her eyes closed, he whispered in her ear, "Lie here. I will help you blow your


    hair dry."


    When she opened her sleepy eyes, she found he had brought the hairdryer over. Although she was


    sleepy, she still moved her head to him and mumbled, "Turn on the second gear."


    When the warm air blew on her hair, she felt indescribablyfortable. She had washed and dried her


    hair by herself for years because she used to be single. Now, she felt as if walking on cloud nine.


    When Kendrick was carefully drying her hair, he ran his fingers through her thick and smooth hair,


    letting it slip between his fingers.


    Natalie suddenly said, "Honey."


    "Yes?"


    "Why are you so nice to me?"


    Kendrick was amused by her question and asked, "Who else do you think I should be nice to?"


    After his gentle voice reached her ears with the warm wind, she asked again, "You love me too, don''t


    you?"


    She kept her eyes closed as if asleep, and her voice was soft.


    Heughed, "Who else can I love?"


    "Answer my question! Do you love me?"


    While speaking, she ented the word "me".


    Kendrick nodded, "Yes, I love you."


    She felt satisfied and muttered a few more words, but he didn''t hear what she had said.


    After a while, Kendrick put away the hair dryer. When he was about to leave, she grabbed his sleeve


    and asked, "Where are you going?"


    She didn''t open her eyes but put forth a lot of strength in her hand.


    "I''m going to bed," he replied.


    "Okay."


    Natalie moved a little inside, patted the ce beside her, and said, "Sleep!"


    Then, she threw a pillow at him. There were two pillows on her bed. She often rested her head on one


    and held the other while sleeping.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Kendrick held the pillow and smelt her fragrance on it. After he turned off the light, the room fell silent.


    As soon as hey down, a small head appeared in his arms.


    She rubbed her face against his chest while talking in her sleep, saying, "Men are all jerks."


    He thought she was scolding him in her dream. But she soon added, "I think she is wrong. You''re a


    good man. But I couldn''t refute her words at that time."


    She then muttered about the allergy.


    Kendrick ventured, "How did you know it''s a metal allergy?"


    Natalie paused for a second and vaguely replied, "I''ve seen it before."


    "Where?"


    Natalie didn''t reply because she had fallen asleep.


    --


    When Natalie woke up at eight in the morning, there was no one beside her. But she remembered


    Kendrick had slept next to herst night. He must get up early today.


    She had been so sleepyst night that she only remembered he had helped her dry her hair.


    Natalie washed up and put on make-up. When she went downstairs, Kendrick was having ck coffee


    at the dining table. He needed coffee to make him more energetic.


    Natalie said good morning, sat down beside him, and said, "I will go to the hospitalter."


    "The testing results havee out."


    "Show me!"


    Kendrick motioned for her to finish her breakfast first. So, she stuffed the sandwich into her mouth, took


    a sip of milk, and said, "I''m done."


    She then looked through the electronic testing report. Sure enough, the ne was not sterling silver


    but had other metal impurities which had caused Haylie''s allergy. The hospital also said her condition


    had significantly improved after she had taken the medicine. After all, the rash had almost disappeared.


    When Natalie rushed out without hesitation, Kendrick stopped her and said, "Put on your trench coat."


    He was worrying about her all the time.


    Natalie put on her windbreaker and said, "I''ll be back after solving the problem."


    --


    Brock got to the hospital before Natalie and showed the testing report to Haylie.


    It was not a sterling silver ne but contained other impurities. It was a knockoff.


    "It must not be a fake!"


    Haylie said in disbelief, "He said he bought it in the shopping more! And there is a receipt!"


    But she had long thrown the receipt away.


    "Do you remember the date and time? I can help you check it," Brock said.


    Haylie carefully recalled it. It was an anniversary gift after they had dated for three years. He had made


    a special trip to the shopping mall to buy it and shown her the receipt. Because it was expensive, she


    felt very moved then.


    She had never expected it to be fake.


    Brock was efficient, so he soon found out Haylie''s boyfriend had indeed bought a ne at T''s


    counter. There was a consumption record. And the counter must not sell knockoffs.


    So, why had she received a fake?

 Chapter 129 Betrayal

    Chapter 129 Betrayal


    Chapter 129 Betrayal


    When Natalie arrived, Haylie was sitting on the hospital bed in a daze.


    Natalie didn''t know what she was thinking because she was emotionless.


    Sitting opposite her, Natalie said, "The test results proved it is the ne that caused the allergy.


    Since you are allergic to metal, do not wear any jewelry. And you will recover soon."


    Haylie frowned, "I don''t understand. There is a purchase record at the counter. How did the ne


    be a fake? Where is the genuine one?"


    The ne was T-smile, the most popr sterling silver jewelry this year.


    Natalie didn''t answer her question but had her spection. Haylie''s boyfriend had either sold the


    genuine ne or given it to someone else.


    Haylie took the ne out of the bag, put it in her palm, and looked at it.


    The longer she stared at it, the more fake it looked!


    Once a woman had doubts, she would instantly be Sherlock Holmes who had a keen eye and


    clear mind.


    She carefully recalled with a frown and finally remembered one thing.


    Her boyfriend Din''s assistant Gloria had praised her beautiful ne not long ago and said she


    had bought one for herself.


    Haylie had been unhappy to hear her words then because she could not understand why she had


    bought the same one and had suspected Gloria was intentionally irritating her.


    What had Din said?


    He had said it was because Haylie had brought out the ne''s value and beauty that Gloria had


    bought the same one. It was apliment to her taste.


    Haylie had thought his words made sense despite the weird feeling in her heart. Now, she quickly


    watched the rey of Din''s live broadcast. Sure enough, when the camera switched to Gloria, she


    saw the same ne around her neck.


    Haylie believed her boyfriend had cheated on her, so she abruptly stood up and walked outward.


    Natalie asked, "Where are you going?"


    "I will go to settle ounts with him!"


    "Are you meeting him like this?"


    She had not washed her face or put on makeup. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were full of


    wrinkles.


    Haylie stopped her steps, turned to look at Natalie, and said, "I''ll go home. Let''s talk about the matter


    Natalie unhurriedly said, "The legal department of the Ramsey Group intends to sue you."


    Haylie froze in ce. Although she had deleted the tweet, the negative impact was irreversible.


    Seeing her so frightened, Natalie continued, "But I stopped them."


    Haylie breathed a sigh of relief, secretly ming Natalie for stopping in mid-sentence.


    She hesitated and asked, "What do you want?"


    "Compared to what you want to do now, what I will say is crucial to your future."


    Natalie tenderly looked at her and added, "You have lost your love."


    Haylie had dated Din for three years, but he had sent her a fake and caused her to be hospitalized. It


    was not a matter of love but an intentional injury to some extent.


    "If you go to settle ounts with him now, you will also lose your career."


    Natalie had kept her tone steady, but her words made Haylie''s heart skip a beat.


    She continued with a gentle smile, "Sit down. Let''s talk."


    --


    Haylie was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. Then, she posted a Vlog on Twitter. She said


    she had almost recovered and figured out the allergen. It was her metal jewelry instead of lipstick. But


    she didn''t mention the ne. Then, she solemnly apologized to Flower Face for the damage she


    had caused to its brand image, saying she should not have rashly posted aint online before


    finding out the real reason. She had also personally tried a few different shades of Flower Face''s


    lipsticks in the video.


    However, not manyizens were discussing the follow-up of this matter. When spreading rumors, they


    had excitedly joined in the fun. But few people were interested when the truth came out.


    Some executives of the group were dissatisfied with the handling of this matter, thinking they should


    not have easily let go of Haylie but should have sued her. After all, the Ramsey Group was not easy to


    mess with. Their legal department had been invincible in recent years, and the winning rate of the


    But Kendrick bore all the pressure for Natalie.


    Two dayster, Haylie suddenly posted a selfie with morous makeup on Twitter. Her delicate lip and


    eye makeup made her look like a ck-hearted queen.


    She usually shared sweet and popr daily makeup tutorials with her followers, but they still thought it


    was a preview of the new makeup tutorial.


    But she posted a long tweet at ten in the evening, saying she had broken up with her boyfriend


    because he cheated on her. They had dated for three years and had even talked about getting married,


    but he had two-timed her.


    After Haylie had left the hospital, she had never mentioned the allergy to the ne in front of her


    boyfriend. She had endured the disgust, made him rx his vignce, and slowly collected evidence.


    First, she found he and Gloria had yed phone games together at night. Then, she found out he had


    transferred money to her several times. Finally, she checked his travel records and discovered he had


    taken a taxi from the studio to a hotel three months ago. Although he had deleted all their chat history,


    she had still gotten many clues.


    There would always be evidence left when men cheated on women.


    When Din had told her he would not go home tonight because of product selection, she had instantly


    guessed he going to date Gloria. So, she had dressed herself up, put on extremely aggressive


    makeup, and went to the hotel to catch them red-handed.


    --


    This matter quickly became a trending topic.


    Din had be a well-known parasite. While making use of Haylie''s fame and resources to make


    money, he was sleeping with his female assistant.


    He had sent Haylie a fake ne and caused her to be hospitalized, but he had never gone to the


    hospital to visit her and had even sent the real ne to his lover.


    Natalie did not have time to join the discussion online because she must make use of this opportunity


    to market Flower Face''s lipstick.


    #Flower Face Cinnabar# also became a trending topic because Haylie had worn it when catching her


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ex cheating on her. Flower Face Cinnabar was a retro dark red, making her look like a Queen.


    When aizen had recognized the shade of the lipstick, Haylie had given her a thumbs up.


    Natalie called Sadie and said, "Continue tounch the advertisement. Ask all our cooperating beauty


    bloggers to promote our products now. Ask Nia to review the drafts."


    Sadie was so excited that her voice trembled when she said, "The search index is soaring! It is natural


    traffic! And the number of readings on the topic has exceeded one hundred million."


    Natalie calmly said, "Go for it!"


    --


    At two in the morning, the number ofments under Haylie''s tweet had exceeded one hundred


    thousand.


    Many girls with tender hearts and many people who had been hurt in love had expressed their support


    for her and apuded her decisiveness.


    When a girl met a scumbag, she must break up with him in time no matter what he promised. A leopard


    could not change its spots. Once he cheated, there would be countless cheats in the future. Moreover,


    girls could still lead a good life without men.


    Reading thements, Natalie had mixed feelings.


    Kendrick loved only her now. But what would happen in the future?


    After he recovered and stood up, he would attract countless women because of his superior condition.


    Would he still love her then?


    Natalie rubbed her temples with both hands. She dared to give up everything else for love. And she


    believed she also had the sobriety to decently leave when his love dissipated.


    But she was willing to believe Kendrick would never disappoint her. People should not betray those


    who loved them.

 Chapter 130 Mens Underwear

    Chapter 130 Men''s Underwear


    Chapter 130 Men''s Underwear


    No one had expected Haylie''s allergic incident to have such an absurd ending.


    But life was always a ridiculous mixture of sorrow and joy.


    Haylie had remained silent for three days after posting the tweet. When she appeared in the live


    broadcast again, her makeup was so light that it couldn''t hide her haggardness.


    Even though she looked rxed. But she was sad because she had deeply loved her ex. She shared a


    lot about her experience. She had been furious when knowing the truth but had calmed herself down to


    collect evidence. When she had caught them red-handed, she had immediately driven the scumbag out


    of her house and broken up with him without hesitation.


    Her actions were so decisive that many model women admired her.


    She specially thanked Flower Face for being extremely generous. They had not pursued the matter but


    decided to cooperate with her to introduce more good products to her followers. And she said every girl


    should have Flower Face Cinnabar lipstick. Wearing it, everyone would feel more confident.


    And the lipstick was soon sold out.


    --


    When Natalie came to thepany the next day, she saw a bouquet and some choctes on her desk


    from the HR department. They wanted to praise her for her outstanding performance in handling this


    PR crisis.


    Some colleagues had doubted her ability before. But now, the way they looked at her had changed.


    No one had expected Natalie could turn the tide in the face of such a crisis and make the impossible


    possible.


    When they searched Flower Face on the Inte, manyizens were spontaneously rmending


    their products. And many people were imitating Haylie''s retro makeup that day. So, it became a new


    trending topic.


    Natalie calmly epted thepliments from all parties. But she knew she must thank Kendrick


    because he had blocked the doubts from the other executives for her.


    During a break, Natalie grabbed Nia and Sadie in the tea room and asked if they had sent gifts to their


    boyfriends.


    She felt guilty and said, "I''ve been busy with work these days, so I haven''t paid much attention to him.


    He seems a little unhappy."


    "Have you quarreled?"


    Natalie shook her head, "No. He is a sensible person and has helped me a lot."


    "How about sending him a watch to express your affection?" Sadie suggested.


    Natalie sighed, "I can''t afford it."


    His watches were all expensive. So, she had not had enough money to buy such a gift.


    "What kind of person is your boyfriend?"


    Nia grasped the key point and asked, "Does he have any hobbies?"


    Natalie was stumped.


    "I asked him about it before, but he doesn''t have any hobbies but growing orchids."


    Natalie looked at them and said, "I can''t give him a pot of orchids, right?"


    Nia said, "Send him something he needs to keep to his skin. A shirt, a tie, underwear, or socks."


    She meaningfully blinked and added, "If you send him such things, he will love you more!"


    Natalie asked, "Are you sure?"


    "Of course, I''m experienced."


    "Okay, I''ll go shoppingter."


    Natalie got off work early and entered a men''s designer store in the mall. She had never sent gifts to


    men, so she did not which area to go to.


    Seeing this, a salesperson immediately walked up to her and enthusiastically asked, "Do you want to


    buy clothes for your boyfriend?"


    "Yes, I want to give him a present."


    "What about this hand-woven cashmere scarf? It''s a new arrival. The weather is getting cold, and it can


    keep him warm."


    Natalie thought the scarf was pretty good because Kendrick needed to keep warm in autumn and


    winter.


    The salesperson''s words touched the spot, so Natalie was moved and chose a dark gray cashmere


    scarf. And she had not noticed it was so expensive until identally seeing the price tag.


    She had never bought any clothes over ten thousand dors for herself and only had several clothes


    more than one thousand dors.


    But it was OK. She must not be stingy when buying things for her husband.


    The salesperson enthusiastically asked, "Do you need anything else?"


    Natalie waved her hand, "No, thanks. I''ll take a look around by myself."


    Next to them was the men''s underwear area.


    Natalie intended to pick some socks and panties.


    Seeing her hesitating for a long time, the salesperson walked to her again and said, "You can choose


    the size ording to his height and weight."


    Natalie was speechless. The store had turned the heat on, so her face flushed.


    "Is this the first time you buy underwear for your boyfriend?"


    "Yes!"


    "I suggest you consult him first because we can''t refund your money if the underwear is not suitable."


    "I know his size," Natalie said.


    She had seen it when helping him pack his luggage.


    She finally chose two pairs of in underpants with few patterns and a few pairs of cashmere socks.


    She wanted to keep him warm in autumn and winter to prevent him from catching a cold.


    When she went to swipe the card, she looked at the total number in a daze, thinking she must work


    hard to make money. Otherwise, she could not afford to support Kendrick who had been pampered


    since childhood.


    --


    Kendrick had been sulky these days but had neverined because men must be broad-minded.


    But when he returned home, his mood instantly became gloomy because Natalie said she was


    shopping and asked him not to wait for her for dinner.


    She must be hanging out with her colleagues again. They had worked hard and sessfully handled a


    PR crisis together, so they must have be good friends!


    The temperature today was low, so his leg hurt badly. He soon took a bath andy down on the bed to


    rest. After applying the medicine, the pain was not relieved, especially in the knees.


    His leg strength and perception had significantly improved recently, so his knees could bend without


    external help now.


    When Kendrick was reading the news with his tablet, there was a knock on the door.


    Natalie asked, "Have you gone to bed?"


    No one answered.


    She looked at the time and found it was only nine in the evening.


    Had he gone to bed so early?


    Just now, Ashlynn had told her Kendrick looked gloomy and tired today. So, she decided to give him


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    the gifts tomorrow.


    But when she was about to leave, he suddenly replied, "Not yet!"


    Natalie pushed the door open and walked in, hiding the paper bag behind her back.


    Kendrick looked up from the tablet and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Hearing his sullen tone, Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "Can''t I meet you if there is nothing


    wrong?"


    Seeing him lower his head, Natalie reached out to poke him on the shoulder and said, "I was just


    kidding."


    She shook the paper bag in front of his eyes and said, "I bought you gifts."


    Kendrick looked up in surprise.


    Natalie sat beside him and said in a guilty tone, "I haven''t talked to you much these days. I should not


    have made you feel neglected. So, I got off work early today and went to the mall to buy you gifts."


    "What did you buy?" Kendrick''s tone softened.


    Natalie took the scarf out and said, "A scarf. It''s getting cold. It can keep you warm because it''s made


    of cashmere."


    Kendrick touched it and found the fabric delicate and soft, so he knew she had spent a lot of money.


    Natalie continued, "I also bought you some cashmere socks. You will feel cold in your legs in winter."


    Seeing something else in the bag, he asked, "What else?"


    Natalie remained silent with a hesitant look, so he reached for the bag and opened it. When he looked


    inside, he saw men''s underwear.

 Chapter 131 Dont Leave Me

    Chapter 131 Don''t Leave Me


    Chapter 131 Don''t Leave Me


    Noticing that Kendrick had seen the clothes, Natalie closed the bag and said, "I bought them in


    passing."


    Kendrick opened the bag and took the clothes out. After having a look, he said, "It''s the right size."


    Natalie didn''t know what to say.


    She pretended to be calm and said, "I saw itst time."


    Kendrick looked at Natalie.


    "I... Last time, I packed your luggage before you went on a business trip." Natalie continued to exin,


    "Then I saw the trademark."


    Natalie thought, "It''s so expensive."


    "It''s winter now. Wrap yourself up warm," said Natalie in a low voice.


    She took the scarf and changed the topic, "Try it on first." She directly wrapped the scarf around


    Kendrick''s neck and casually circled it twice. Then she said, "Handsome man."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He lowered his head and adjusted the scarf well to show it was worth the price.


    "Do you know how to knot a tie?" Kendrick suddenly asked.


    Natalie shook her head and thought, "Of course not."


    But she read the room and said, "You can teach me."


    "I''ll teach you tomorrow morning." Kendrick took off his scarf, pointed at the handbag, and then asked,


    "Do I need to try on these?"


    Natalie replied, "You can try them on yourself. I''m going to take a shower."


    ...


    After taking a shower, Natalie received a message from Susan.


    Susan sent a long voice message.


    She praised that Natalie had dealt with the crisis well and said that she looked at Natalie with new


    eyes.


    Susan had thought that Natalie was just smart, but she didn''t expect that Natalie could still keep calm


    in the face of an emergency and helped the brand side y a good upswing.


    Natalie was not just beautiful but also very capable.


    Susan liked Natalie more because of the incident.


    She had been polite to Natalie just out of self-cultivation.


    But after this incident, Susan was really happy for Kendrick and Ramsey Group.


    Susan made an overseas call to Natalie.


    After the two chatted about work, Susan started to ask about the Ramsey family.


    She had been married abroad for love for many years.


    Now she was suffering from an illness, so she missed her family very much.


    "Call Ken. I want to talk to him too."


    "Okay, I''ll call him now."


    "Don''t you live together?"

    Susan keenly captured Natalie''s hidden meaning.


    "He... He''s still working in the study."


    Natalie had already gone out of the room and found that the light in the study was on, so she lied


    through her teeth like this.


    Originally, Kendrick wanted to lie down to sleep because he was in a better mood after receiving the


    gift.


    However, Kendrick still had something to deal with, so he came to the study.


    Natalie knocked on the door and handed the phone to Kendrick. She nced at the desk and found


    that Kendrick was drawing.


    The manuscript paper was densely filled withplex integrated circuit diagrams, which were the


    internal structure of the semiconductor materials.


    It was hard for ordinary people to understand.


    Natalie flipped through the next paper and found it was a still-life sketch.


    Kendrick probably drew it casually out of boredom, but theposition of the picture was very good.


    Natalie didn''t know Kendrick could sketch.


    She looked at Kendrick curiously.


    Kendrick was frowning and said, "I''ll think about itter. Take care of yourself. Don''t worry about other


    things."


    Natalie didn''t know what Susan had said, but vaguely heard Susan mention shares.


    Natalie withdrew her gaze and then flipped through the third paper.


    It was an unfinished sketch portrait with only a rough outline.


    The drawing was supposed to be Natalie.


    Ten minutester, Kendrick hung up the phone and put the mobile phone on the desk. He saw that


    Natalie was staring at the sketchbook.


    "Which woman is this?" Natalie asked in a clear voice and handed Kendrick the sketchbook.


    Kendrick asked rhetorically, "Can''t you recognize yourself?"


    Although the details were not outlined, the outline of Natalie''s features could be seen clearly.


    Putting down the sketchbook, Natalie suddenly remembered something and asked, "When did you


    draw it?"


    Kendrick replied, "I don''t remember."


    "You won''t forget." Natalie continued, "Was it a long time ago?"


    "No," replied Kendrick, "it was half a month ago."


    Kendrick drew the first draft intermittently.


    He was not satisfied with it, so he stopped drawing.


    "That''s good," said Natalie in a low voice.


    Hearing this, Kendrick frowned slightly.


    "Then why didn''t you go on?"


    Kendrick stared at Natalie''s face carefully and said, "I''m not satisfied with it because I think itcks


    elegant subtlety."


    Kendrick thought that Natalie''s features were not the most attractive, but her lively aura.


    When Kendrick was drawing, he would close his eyes and recall Natalie''s face.


    But when he started to draw, he always felt something was wrong.


    "Then stop drawing," said Natalie suddenly.


    Kendrick drew Natalie, but it was not the real her.


    Kendrick held Natalie''s hand and said seriously, "Give me some time to figure it out, or what do you


    want me to draw you like?"


    No matter how heavy the clouds were in front of Natalie''s face, Kendrick could blow them away.


    "I''ll tell you when I have an idea," said Natalie in a soft voice.


    When Natalie met Kendrick''s gaze, she suddenly raised her voice and said, "You haven''t told me


    whether you like the gift I gave you."


    Kendrick thought, "You don''t give me a chance to tell you at all!"


    "You left faster than anyone else."


    Kendrick put his arm around Natalie''s waist and took her to sit on hisp. He held her in his arms,


    rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "I like everything you give me."


    Natalie was happy because of Kendrick''s words. She put her arms around his neck and said, "I also


    want to thank you for blocking so much pressure for me."


    Originally, Kendrick wanted to say, "It''s nothing. Those people could do nothing to me."


    At the moment when Kendrick almost said these words, he suddenly thought of something, and then


    what he said waspletely different.


    "They blocked me in the meeting room." Kendrick sighed, "And they forced me to agree to sue." He


    frowned and looked at Natalie''s eyes with an embarrassed expression. Then he continued, "As you


    know, those people from the legal affairs department are not easy to deal with. They argued for nearly


    three hours. I... I refused them under huge pressure."


    Kendrick''s words made Natalie''s heart ache, and a distressed look immediately appeared on her face.


    Kendrick saw this and felt happy.


    "Then they should understand now that you are the only one who is right." Natalie suddenly said


    confidently and firmly, "They will be more convinced of your decisions in the future!"


    Kendrick turned his head slightly and thought, "That''s not what I want to hear."


    Natalie touched Kendrick''s chin and coaxed, "I know you''re the best. Actually, I knew it was a leap of


    faith. Fortunately, you seeded in the end."


    She smiled but said sadly, "Although Haylie has gained a lot of attention this time, she cried many


    times when Imunicated with her that day."


    Everyone wanted sweet love.


    All of a sudden, Natalie raised her head and said solemnly, "If..." She bit her lips and said firmly, "If


    you''ll be unfaithful to me in the future, I will leave!"


    Kendrick was stunned for a while.


    He gazed into Natalie''s eyes and swore, "I won''t!" Kendrick held Natalie in his arms again, grabbed her


    wrist, and rubbed her silver bracelet with his fingers. Then he continued in a husky voice, "Nat, don''t


    leave me."


    Kendrick didn''t like to hear Natalie say leave.


    Kendrick pinched Natalie''s wrist so hard that it hurt, and Natalie could feel his nervousness and


    depression.


    Natalie held Kendrick''s face in her hands and saw his tearful eyes. She immediately had mixed


    emotions. Then she lowered her head slightly and kissed his lips.

 Chapter 132 Help Me, Nat

    Chapter 132 Help Me, Nat


    Chapter 132 Help Me, Nat


    Natalie rarely took the initiative to kiss Kendrick, so it made him calm slowly.


    Natalie bit Kendrick''s lower lip, which made him feel a little pain.


    She suddenly thought of what Kendrick had done to her before, so she left his lip.


    Then she kissed Kendrick on the jaw and kissed him down slowly along his side face.


    Soon, she saw Kendrick''s Adam''s apple rolling up and down.


    It made Kendrick look very sexy.


    Natalie raised her hand to touch Kendrick''s Adam''s apple. Then she boldly kissed it and made a circle


    with the tip of her tongue.


    Natalie clearly felt that Kendrick froze and he even breathed quickly.


    She wascent and thought, "You flirted with me like this several times before."


    Natalie raised her head with sparkling eyes. Then she kissed Kendrick on the cheek and said, "Good


    night!"


    As soon as Natalie was about to get up, a hand on her shoulder stopped her instantly.


    Kendrick wrapped his arms around Natalie''s slender waist and made her get close to him.


    Kendrick didn''t say anything but just stared at Natalie with deep eyes.


    Soon, Natalie realized that something was wrong. She struggled slightly, but Kendrick bit her earlobe.


    Kendrick said in a deep and husky voice in Natalie''s ear, "Don''t move."


    Natalie didn''t dare to move anymore.


    There was a moment of silence.


    Kendrick suddenly said, "Help me, Nat."


    Natalie asked, "Help you...what?"


    Kendrick held Natalie''s left hand.


    Natalie followed Kendrick''s gaze and then blushed immediately.


    She wanted to stand up, but Kendrick held her hard.


    "It''s all because of you." Kendrick suddenly whispered in Natalie''s ear, "I feel very ufortable."


    Kendrick''s husky and sexy voice made Nataliepletely irrational.


    When Natalie held Kendrick''s thing with her fair and slender hand, Kendrick was also irrational and


    looked at her with deep eyes.


    In the end, Kendrick could only see the bracelet sh a silver light with the movement of Natalie''s wrist


    in the moonlight.


    ...


    The next day...


    In the cloakroom, Kendrick selected a tie with dark blue stripes.


    When he was about to wear it, Natalie pushed the door open and came in.


    Natalie felt a little embarrassed. She looked away and said, "Aren''t you going to teach me to wear a


    tie?"


    "Come here."


    Natalie walked over and stooped down in front of Kendrick. She said, "I watched a teaching videost


    night."


    She thought, "I just have a general idea, but I''m unversed to do it."


    She reached out and helped Kendrick wear his tie awkwardly.


    Kendrick didn''t say anything and neither did Natalie.


    After a while, Kendrick suddenly grasped Natalie''s fingers.


    Natalie withdrew her fingers subconsciously.


    Kendrick said, "Enough."


    He thought, "I indeed came on to herst night, but I don''t think I''m bad enough for her to strangle me


    with a tie in the early morning."


    "That''s it, right?" Natalie straightened up and asked loudly.


    "Yes."


    "All right. Let''s go downstairs to have breakfast!"


    The breakfast was light.


    Eating the toast, Natalie lowered her eyes without a word.


    She didn''t even hear Kendrick calling her twice.


    "Drink some milk."


    After saying that, Kendrick handed a ss of warm milk to Natalie.


    Natalie was absent-minded.


    She didn''t hold the ss steadily, and the milk almost slopped over onto the table.


    She hurried to pick up the ss, and the milk sshed all over her hand.


    Fortunately, the milk was not hot.


    Frowning, Kendrick took out a tissue and then wiped Natalie''s hand carefully.


    Last night, Kendrick also held Natalie''s hand and wiped the whitish liquid on her hand slowly with a wet


    tissue.


    At that time, Natalie was held in Kendrick''s arms and dared to say a word.


    Natalie remembered the scene and then withdrew her hand quickly. She said, "I''ll do it myself."


    Kendrick gazed at Natalie with a smile.


    After drinking a ss of milk slowly, Kendrick said to Natalie, "Dr. Gentry and I have decided to have


    the operation on me in ten days. I will be free for a week."


    Natalie raised her head in disbelief and asked, "A week?"


    The preoperative examination would take a whole day.


    Besides, the operation was extremelyplicated, and it would take a long time to recover.


    "I don''t have much time."


    The merger and acquisition waspleted this month.


    In addition, Kendrick had finished the semiconductor design drawing and would put it into production


    soon.


    All the projects needed to be pushed forward.


    Natalie couldn''t help but say, "Do you think it is just an appendectomy? A patient needs at least a week


    to recover even if it''s just an appendectomy."


    "You should set aside two weeks!" Natalie continued, "You probably can''t do anything in the next two


    weeks."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He was about to say something but saw Natalie grasp the ss.


    Kendrick thought, "Never mind. There''s no need to argue with her about such a thing."


    "I''ll take care of you all the time." Natalie continued softly, "I won''t go anywhere during this period. I''ll


    stay with you, and I''ll also deal with my work in advance."


    ...


    After Natalie arrived at thepany, she was soon informed that she would attend a staff meeting at


    eight o''clock in the evening.


    She was asked to make a report on this marketing event.


    The colleague in the human resources department also said that Kendrick would also attend this


    meeting, and she let Natalie not be perfunctory.


    After all, everyone knew that Kendrick was serious about work.


    Last time, Kendrick even found a small mistake in a senior manager''s slideshow.


    Natalie was speechless.


    She hated meetings the most.


    What was worse was that the meeting was in the evening.


    Natalie thought, "Do these people have no nightlife?"


    Kendrick was also speechless and helpless.


    Actually, he didn''t want to attend the meeting.


    If he identally said something that embarrassed Natalie, he would definitely suffer a lot after he went


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    home.


    However, this matter escted, so Kendrick had no choice but to give everyone an exnation.


    Kendrick pinched his eyebrows and prepared his wording now.


    ...


    At eight o''clock in the evening...


    The senior executives of Ramsey Group gathered in the meeting room on the top floor.


    None of them dared to bete.


    Kendrick hade in advance.


    When it was time to start the meeting, Kendrick signaled for Natalie to make a report.


    It took Natalie a whole day to make the slideshow, and she used a lot of data to prove that the


    marketing effect was excellent.


    This marketing event had high attention, and it could almost be a ssic case in the industry.


    Besides, Natalie reported logically and perfectly.


    Because of that, the senior executives didn''t pick on Natalie.


    They just asked a few friendly questions.


    In fact, no one wanted to work overtime toote.


    Sitting there, Kendrick put his fingers on his lips. He had no intention of asking questions.


    Natalie walked to her seat and sat down again.


    Then she saw a message on herputer.


    It was from the colleague in the human resource department.


    The colleague reminded Natalie that she could apply for taking tomorrow off in lieu, because the


    meeting was toote.


    When Natalie was about to thank her colleague, she found something was wrong.


    Natalie noticed that she still streamed her desktop to the screen.


    She thought, "Well, everyone saw the chatting records."


    This morning, the colleague reminded Natalie to report carefully because Kendrick was strict.


    Natalie just replied jokingly, "If he dares to pick on me, I will put a gag on him immediately."


    How happy Natalie was at that time, while how embarrassed she was now.


    There wasughter in the meeting room already.


    It was normal to tease Kendrick in private, but it would be unlucky if Kendrick caught it.


    Natalie exited the chat software in silence.


    When Natalie was about to end the projection screen and act like nothing happened to leave with her


    have a few questions."

 Chapter 133 A Lip Color That Slays

    Chapter 133 A Lip Color That ys


    Chapter 133 A Lip Color That ys


    The moment Kendrick spoke, the meeting room suddenly became quiet.


    The senior executives didn''t smile anymore and silently sympathized with the neer from the


    marketing department who worked very well.


    They thought, "Sure enough, Mr. Ramsey will definitely warn her because of her arrogance."


    "After being asked a round of questions by Mr. Ramsey, she will have a new life."


    "From that time on, she will handle every difficulty easily."


    When Natalie met Kendrick''s gaze, she didn''t read any emotions from his eyes.


    She pressed her lips, opened her slideshow again, and said with a smile, "Please go ahead!"


    Kendrick asked several questions based on this marketing incident.


    Natalie answered the questions unhurriedly.


    She made the strategic n by herself, so she naturally answered calmly.


    Hearing Natalie''s answers, Kendrick nodded slightly and then changed the topic, "After this wave of


    attention, do you have any new nning cases for marketing?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    She thought, "Wasn''t my task just to give a report on the marketing event?"


    "Why did he ask me about the new marketing program?"


    Natalie knew it was impossible to reason with her boss.


    After thinking for a while, Natalie said, "I am currently making a new marketing n that will focus on


    the theme of Valentine''s Day. Next year, Flower Face will sell a new series of lipstick. The shade of


    lipstick is cardamom red, or it can also be called a lip color that ys. Actually, men who fall in love for


    the first time are the prime target group!"


    Kendrick looked up at Natalie.


    Natalie said calmly, "Men who fall in love for the first time usually don''t know what to send their


    girlfriends as a gift. Even though they know lipsticks are the best gifts for girls, they still don''t know how


    to choose the shade of lipstick."


    Natalie opened a slide, pointed at the shades of lipstick, and asked, "Does any of the men here know


    the difference and applicable scene of these shades?"


    Everyone was silent.


    Soon, the meeting room was full ofughter.


    Natalie smiled at Kendrick as if she was saying, "I''m sure you don''t know either."


    "Cardamom red lipsticks for young consumers around 20 years old is my new marketing n." Natalie


    continued, "The theme will be ''The First Lipstick Given by the First Love''. A young man can choose this


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    lipstick as a gift on a first date or his girlfriend''s birthday or when he pisses his girlfriend off."


    "Gentlemen, when you fell in love for the first time, did you feel confused about choosing a gift for your


    girlfriend?"


    When Natalie mentioned the first love, all the men present immediately began a heated discussion.


    It seemed that every man had an unforgettable first love.


    Even if a man had broken up with his first love for various reasons, in the end, the first love was still his


    unforgettable woman.


    Kendrick listened to people''s discussion quietly without saying a word.


    When Natalie looked at Kendrick, he also looked at her.


    Natalie coughed and made a summary. When she thought the meeting was over, Kendrick suddenly


    said, "I have onest question."


    Natalie was confused and thought, "Why does he still have a problem?"


    "Did I pick on you just now?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    She was just moved for a second, and Kendrick''s words suddenly made Natalie calm down.


    Everyone was curious about Natalie''s answer.


    After all, Natalie had said she would put a gag on Kendrick.


    "No!" Natalie replied through gritted teeth.


    "That''s good." Kendrick breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "I seem to dodge a bullet."


    ...


    The meeting was from eight o''clock to eleven o''clock.


    Natalie was starving.


    After she drove back home, she made a bowl of instant noodles and swore that she would no longer


    talk to Kendrick.


    Natalie thought, "Damn it!"


    "The meeting could have ended at nine o ''clock, but he insisted on going on."


    As soon as Natalie took the first bite of instant noodles, Kendrick was back.


    When Kendrick came over, Natalie immediately put on an aggrieved expression, as if asking Kendrick


    to coax her immediately.


    Kendrick asked with a smile, "Are you angry?"


    "You did pick on me but deliberately asked me if you did so." Natalie felt she had a tough time during


    the meeting because of Kendrick''s questions.


    "Then why didn''t you say yes?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    "If I said yes, I would be so embarrassed. After all, I couldn''t really put a gag on you."


    Catching the glimmer of a smile in Kendrick''s eyes, Natalie was even angrier and said, "You almost got


    me. Fortunately, I''m smart. What do you think of the new n?"


    "It has a highlight." Kendrick continued, "But whether it is a good marketing n or not will depend on


    the following implementation."


    Natalie lowered her eyes. After a while, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you ever


    had a first love?"


    There was a lively discussion at the meeting, but Kendrick didn''t say a word.


    Kendrick looked at Natalie and paused.


    Natalie frowned and thought, "I don''t think there''s an unforgotten woman in his heart!"


    "Or did he have a crush when he was a child?"


    "Yes!" Kendrick suddenly replied.

 Chapter 134 You Are Shameless

    Chapter 134 You Are Shameless


    Chapter 134 You Are Shameless


    Speaking of this topic, Kendrick suddenly remembered Natalie''s tone at the meeting.


    Kendrick felt there was regret in Natalie''s tone when she mentioned first love.


    Natalie rolled her eyes and pouted. She said, "Of course, I had a crush!"


    She lowered her eyes and sighed intively, "But he probably won''t pursue me anymore."


    After speaking, Natalie raised her head and said with regret, "Because he knows that I am married."


    It was probably because Natalie acted well and said in a sad tone, and Kendrick immediately had a


    gloomy look.


    Kendrick restrained himself and then said calmly, "Natalie Quinn!"


    Oops!


    Unexpectedly, Kendrick called Natalie''s full name.


    Kendrick was organizing hisnguage with a serious face.


    Natalie suddenlyughed and looked into Kendrick''s deep eyes. She said, "This person not only didn''t


    pursue me but was always angry with me. If he is happy, he''ll call me Nat. If not, he''ll call me Natalie


    Quinn. He dares to do so, maybe just because I love him!" Then Natalie turned her head and asked,


    "Am I right, Mr. Ramsey?"


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He found that he was set up by Natalie.


    Kendrick pinched Natalie''s chin and said with a smile, "Don''t just say half the words!"


    Natalie snorted, "If I hadn''t done so, I wouldn''t know your true colors." She sneered and pretended to


    get even with Kendrick. "You were about to warn me just now, right?"


    Kendrick indeed had the intention, but Natalie interrupted him.


    Natalie still grasped Kendrick''s tie in her hand.


    She got up and boldly knelt on Kendrick''sp. Then she leaned forward and bit his upper lip.


    Natalie took advantage of Kendrick''s distraction to tie his right hand to the armrest of the wheelchair


    with his tie, and she tied a fast knot.


    Natalie smiledcently and said, "It''s a small punishment."


    Kendrick said nothing.


    He couldn''t move his right hand at all.


    "Let me go."


    "No!"


    Kendrick was helpless and said, "I''m going to take a shower."


    "Then find a way by yourself."


    Natalie was in a good mood after ying a trick on Kendrick and even gave him an idea. She said, "If


    you can''t untie it, you can ask Baron to help you."


    As for how to exin it, it was not Natalie''s business.


    Kendrick tried to untie the tie but found it didn''t work at all.


    Natalieughed and said, "Don''t even bother. You''ll never untie it. Why don''t you think about how to


    beg me?"


    Natalie was in a good mood and thought, "If he begs me, I''ll probably let him go."


    Kendrick raised his eyes and saw that Natalie''s eyes were full of expectation.


    He seemed to see the words "beg me" on Natalie''s forehead.


    "Please!"


    Unexpectedly, Kendrick really begged Natalie.


    But Natalie thought Kendrick''s begging was so simple.


    Natalie was dissatisfied and said, "That''s all?"


    Natalie thought, "He should admit his mistake and beg me in tears."


    Kendrick frowned and thought for a while. Then he bent over and calmly took out a pair of scissors


    from the storage cab next to the sofa.


    "No! Don''t get clever!"


    Natalie was unhappy.


    Moreover, this tie was so expensive. Natalie didn''t want Kendrick to cut it off.


    Natalie immediately stepped forward to stop Kendrick.


    Natalie thought, "Forget it."


    For the sake of the price of the tie, she took the initiative to let Kendrick go and said, "This kind of knot


    can''t be untied by one hand."


    "It''s amazing!"


    Hearing the praise, Natalie couldn''t help being cocky and taught Kendrick how to knot.


    "Is that so?"


    "Yes... No!"


    Natalie''s eyes widened in surprise.


    Natalie thought, "When did he tie my hand to the armrest?"


    Kendrick smiled and pretended to have an epiphany. He said, "I see. One can''t untie it with one hand,


    right?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    She red at Kendrick immediately and shouted, "Let me go!"


    Kendrick smiled softly and rejected Natalie.


    "Kendrick!"


    "What?"


    "You are shameless!"


    Kendrick had no qualms about epting Natalie''s words.


    He looked at Natalie jokingly and proudly.


    Natalie got angry and tried to untie the tie.


    "Don''t even bother. Why don''t you think about how to beg me?"


    Kendrick said exactly the same as what Natalie had said.


    Natalie was speechless.


    She said, "Please!"


    "That''s all?" Kendrick raised his eyebrows as if he was dissatisfied.


    Natalie looked around and didn''t know where Kendrick hid the scissors.


    "Then you just keep this!" Natalie didn''t beg Kendrick anymore but directly sat on hisp. The two


    looked at each other. Natalie said, "Let''s see who can''t stand it first."


    Three minutester...


    Natalie kissed Kendrick''s face and asked with a smiling face, "Let me go?"


    Natalie could tell Kendrick''s refusal by his expression.


    Natalie directly kissed Kendrick''s lips and stuck her tongue in his mouth. At the same time, Natalie


    stroked his Adam''s apple, pressed it gently in circr motions with her fingertips.


    That day, Natalie had found that Kendrick liked it when she did so.


    She knew it from the frequency of his breathing.


    Natalie''s sweater was loose.


    Kendrick stroked upward along Natalie''s slender waist and then pinched her suddenly. He asked in a


    low voice against her lips, "Who are you going to punish?"


    Natalie did not reply.


    However, Kendrick naturally had a way to let Natalie speak.


    "I... Myself."


    "Who can''t stand it first?" Kendrick asked again.


    "It''s...me."


    Natalie was young and got carried away easily.


    So Kendrick easily got Natalie.


    ...


    Kendrick would have an operation on October 15th.


    For this reason, he used the name of a business trip to announce to the board of directors that he


    would not be in thepany for nearly ten days.


    Even so, the executives still had to report their work.


    They were unable to give themselves a holiday though Kendrick was not in thepany.


    If the performance was not good, they would still be criticized when Kendrick came back.


    Natalie also asked for two days off in advance.


    In any event, she must be sure that she had the whole day on October 15th.


    The surgery would take a long time.


    If Natalie was not healthy enough, she wouldn''t be able to operate on Kendrick''s legs.


    To maintain strength and energy, Natalie had been consciously and systematically controlling her diet


    since the end of September.


    She quit all the high sugar and carbohydrates.


    She strictly followed the nutritional recipes to have meals regrly. No matter how unptable the food


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    was, she could eat expressionlessly.


    Actually, Natalie hated the taste of albumen powder.


    But she still forced herself to drink a cup of it every morning. After drinking, she had to deceive herself


    that the albumen powder tasted really good and that she could drink it tomorrow.


    In addition, Natalie adjusted her body clock and started abination of anaerobic and aerobic


    exercises.


    At six o''clock in the morning.


    In the living room, Kendrick saw Nataliee up from the gym on the negative first floor. She was


    sweating in a white sports bra and ck sweatpants with a high ponytail, showing her slender and firm


    waist.


    Kendrick could even see Natalie''s firm abs.


    Kendrick found that Natalie had gotten up very early recently.


    Natalie started exercising at five o''clock.


    Kendrick thought, "She''s under a lot of pressure at work."


    "So she has to exercise to relieve the pressure. Is that so?"


    When Natalie passed by Kendrick, she raised her arm and asked, "Do you feel my great strength?"


    Natalie just finished her shoulder and back training.


    The load weight was increased by eleven poundspared to before!


    Natalie felt that she could easily defeat an ordinary man.


    Kendrick looked at Natalie''s thin arms and didn''t see the obvious muscles.


    He was a little embarrassed and considered how to express it with euphemistguage.


    "Maybe you can''t see my muscles now." Natalie immediately gave her an out. She put Kendrick''s hand


    on her arm and said, "Pinch it."


    Kendrick pinched Natalie''s arm twice.


    "It''s hard, right?" Natalie asked.

    Chapter 135 Wear Mine


    Natalie''s lower abdomen was t, and the lines were smooth and clear.


    Her waist was slender.


    The hip line was perfect under the cover of tight ck pants.


    Kendrick stretched out his hand at Natalie''s signal.


    Kendrick just touched Natalie''s lower abdomen for one second.


    Before Kendrick could feel the strength of her firm abs, Natalie suddenly grabbed his hand.


    Natalie said, "You''reing on to me in the early morning!" She took a step back and continued with a


    smile of triumph, "You are indecent!"


    After speaking, Natalie immediately ran upstairs.


    She thought proudly, "Humph, you can''t touch me."


    "Bite me if you can!"


    Kendrick was fooled by Natalie again.


    He bit his lower lip, squinted slightly, and then smiled.


    He thought, "Well done!"


    "I''ll make you regret it!"


    "Or I''ll eat my hat!"


    ...


    Kendrick would be hospitalized three days in advance for a preoperative examination.


    Natalie was packing a bag for Kendrick at home.


    She washed and dried the two new ck underpants she bought for Kendrick. Then she put them in a


    small suitcase.


    There were also cashmere socks and some loose loungewear in the suitcase.


    Kendrick was very cool about this surgery.


    He even leisurely watered his orchid in the greenhouse.


    After packing the bag, Natalie came down from upstairs and then opened the ss door of the


    greenhouse.


    Suddenly Kendrick said, "Nat, look, the orchid is blooming."


    It was a beautiful cymbidium tortisepalum.


    It was quite elegant, just like a perfect jade with a delicate texture.


    Before someone got close, a faint fragrance came.


    Kendrick raised the flower for a long time.


    Unexpectedly, it bloomed at this point.


    Natalie immediately eximed, "It''s a good sign!"


    "It''s been waiting for this moment to bloom." Natalie squatted down and approached to see the orchid.


    She couldn''t help but say, "It knows that you are going to have surgery, so it''s telling you that the


    operation will be sessful. It blooms to bless you."


    Flowers were alive.


    The orchid blooming quietly at this moment must have a profound meaning.


    A smile also appeared on Kendrick''s indifferent face because of the blooming orchid.


    Kendrick suddenly remembered the word Desmond wrote for him at Saint Hill Temple that day.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    It seemed that Kendrick had a good life since then.


    Natalie sniffed the fragrance of the flower and then turned her head to Kendrick. She said, "Take a


    picture of my side face."


    Natalie wanted to take a photo with the orchid that represented luck.


    Kendrick took a picture of Natalie''s side face with his mobile phone.


    In the picture, Natalie looked beautiful with a gentle smile.


    The sunshine fell on Natalie''s face, showing her delicate facial features clearly under light and shadow.


    Her nose was as pretty as a perfect jade, and she was as elegant as an orchid.


    Natalie got close to Kendrick and took a look at the picture. She praised, "Good job! Have you studied


    photography skills on purpose?"


    Kendrick replied, "If you master the skills of lighting andposition, you can also do well."


    Natalie was speechless.


    She thought, "It sounds so familiar."


    "Save the photo." Natalie continued, "Don''t delete it."


    Kendrick gave a positive answer.


    Then he silently changed the wallpaper.


    ...


    Brock drove Kendrick to the hospital at night.


    He didn''t know why Kendrick went to the hospital.


    He just thought Kendrick went there for a simple check.


    Brock could tell that Kendrick was in a good mood.


    Kendrick looked at the phone screen while chattering with Brock about topics outside of work.


    Kendrick would only talk to Brock about work before.


    Brock was a Hamgradish-Fayman.


    He had been trained as an agent since he was a child and worked for the CIA for ten years.


    However, he was betrayed by his boss.


    When Brock had his back against the wall and was at risk of deportation, it was Kendrick who helped


    him to prove his innocence.


    Since then, Brock had quit the CIA.


    "Are you nning to get married in the near future?"


    Brock was stunned.


    He didn''t expect that Kendrick would ask such a gentle question.


    "No... Nope."


    "Don''t be nervous." Kendrick smiled slightly and continued, "You have been working for me for about


    four years, and you don''t even have any personal time. If you''re nning to get married, I will give you


    a long paid holiday."


    Brock was so moved.


    He thought, "Ken is too kind!"


    "No." Brock said solemnly and firmly, "Four years ago, from the moment you rescued me, I only belong


    to you."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He thought there was no need to say that.


    Brock swore sincerely, "All my life, I will only obey you and be loyal to you!"


    "If necessary, I would die for you."


    "All right." Kendrick interrupted, "Just drive the car."


    Brock had never said such sweet words to Kendrick but only obeyed his orders quietly.


    Kendrick didn''t know why Brock suddenly said these inexplicable words.


    It was a bit beyond the employment rtionship.


    Fortunately, Natalie was not in the car.


    ...


    Natalie quickly drove to the hospital by herself.


    She first met the medical team that would perform the operation.


    There was not just Owen, but also other professional doctors from the Department of cerebral surgery,


    the respiratory department, and the Department of cardiovascr medicine.


    Owen was in charge of the most important spinal nerve surgery.


    Everyone had a meeting in the evening.


    After the meeting, Natalie stayed on the grounds of asking about preoperative affairs.


    Owen told Natalie that everything was ready.


    Natalie would follow Owen and couldn''t walk around at will.


    Otherwise, Natalie couldn''t get through the ess control system in the operating room.


    "I know." Natalie said, "Let''s check again these days to avoid all the risks that can be avoided."


    "OK," Owen said and nodded.


    "Are you nervous?" Natalie asked suddenly.


    Owen took a deep breath and replied, "Of course, I''m nervous. After all, I have never performed such a


    simr operation before."


    "Don''t be nervous." Natalie encouraged, "I''ll be with you."


    "One more thing, I have contacted someone and can bring GM-1 back to the country in the name of


    academic exchanges." Owen continued, "It is expected to enter the customs at the end of this month."


    "Great." Natalie said with excitement, "Owen, thank you so much. I will give you a gift after the


    operation."


    "No, thanks." Owen smiled and said, "Just treat me as your friend all the time."


    "I will." Natalie said in a gentle tone, "I won''t scold you anymore."


    Owen thought humbly in his heart, "In fact, it is nothing."


    "Actually, I''m used to getting your scolding."


    Owen stretched out his hand.


    Natalie was confused about it.


    "High five." Owen said, "Just give me some courage."


    Natalie stretched out her hand.


    The two gave each other five.


    "Good luck!"


    ...


    Natalie went to the first floor to fill in the hospitalization information.


    After taking the medical records, Natalie returned to Kendrick''s ward.


    Natalie opened the door and said, "I have finished the hospitalization information. I''ll just wait to sign


    the informed consent on the day of the operation."


    Kendrick had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed.


    He had all kinds of physical examinations tomorrow.


    "I''m going back first." Natalie finished telling the matter needed attention and continued, "I wille


    after go to thepany to get the documents tomorrow morning. Take a rest early, good night."


    Kendrick checked the time.


    It was at midnight.


    "It''s inconvenient to drive back sote."


    It was sote that Natalie would arrive home at half past one.


    "Sleep here," Kendrick added.


    Natalie was hesitant and said, "But I didn''t bring my clean clothes."


    She originally wanted to sleep in the ward starting tomorrow, so she didn''t pack for herself.


    "You can wear mine."

 Chapter 136 Nat, You Are Indecent

    Chapter 136 Nat, You Are Indecent


    Chapter 136 Nat, You Are Indecent


    Kendrick made a suggestion quickly and kindly.


    Kendrick also said that the hospital was close to thepany and that Natalie could get upter


    tomorrow morning.


    It was undoubtedly a huge temptation.


    "Okay then!" Natalie agreed. She got a navy blue silk nightgown and went to take a bath.


    Natalie thought about the arrangements for the next few days in her mind while taking the bath.


    She would go to thepany to deal with the work tomorrow.


    The day after tomorrow, she would stay with Kendrick in the hospital and give him a mental


    establishment.


    The surgery would start at 10 a.m. three days from now.


    After thinking about all the arrangements, Natalie directly reached out for the towel on the shelf.


    As a result, the clothes fell to the floor.


    Natalie hurriedly picked them up from the ground.


    The base shirt was a little wet.


    The bad thing was Natalie''s underpants were totally wet.


    Natalie was speechless.


    ...


    It took Natalie less than 30 minutes to take a bath today.


    When Natalie came out of the bathroom, Kendrick had alreadyid down. The wallmp was left in the


    senior ward with a faint yellow light.


    Natalie was relieved,ing out in a big nightgown. She opened the corner of the quilt, said good


    night, and quickly turned off the wallmp. The room was dark.


    After a while, Kendrick suddenly said, "Come closer!"


    There was a lot of room between Kendrick and Natalie.


    Kendrick thought, "Is she guarding against thieves?"


    Natalie cleared her throat and said sternly, "I''m going to get up early tomorrow!"


    Kendrick was puzzled and asked, "Does it have anything to do with youing closer?"


    Kendrick wondered if there was any contradiction between the two things.


    Natalie frowned slightly.


    She didn''t know how to exin.


    "I''m afraid I''ll disturb your sleep!" Natalie got a perfect excuse.


    "Aren''t you afraid of falling to the floor at night?"


    Natalie touched it backward and found there was nothing.


    Natalie might fall on the ground when she turned over.


    She thought, "Am I thinking too much?"


    "Did I misunderstand Kendrick''s deep concern?"


    Natalie could only get close to Kendrick.


    Sure enough, a hand immediately held Natalie''s waist.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Kendrick just patted Natalie gently and said softly, "Good night."


    Natalie closed her eyes with ease.


    Next second.


    Natalie felt that the belt of her nightgown was untied. Kendrick pinched her waist and asked, "Where''re


    your firm abs?"


    In this case, firm abs would certainly disappear.


    Natalie was quite embarrassed and said, "After I had a little for dinner, firm abs disappeared."


    Kendrick was amused and said, "Well, a little."


    Soon, he found another surprise.


    He was somewhat surprised.


    Natalie quickly grabbed Kendrick''s wrist and asked, "What are you doing?"


    "What are you doing?" Kendrick asked rhetorically, "You wear nothing inside, do you?"


    Natalie exined, "I identally got my underpants wet while taking a shower."


    Fortunately, the lights were not on.


    So Natalie could force herself to exin.


    "Really?"


    Kendrick deliberately drawled, which made Natalie feel shy.


    "Nat!" Kendrick suddenly called Natalie and then patted her ass four times. He said word by word, "You


    are indecent!"


    Natalie was speechless.


    She opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.


    "I..."


    Natalie didn''t know what to say.


    Natalie''s mind went nk, and she was unable to retort.


    Natalie heard Kendrick''s softughter and instantly understood that he was retaliating.


    Natalie became angry from embarrassment and said, "You asked me to stay and wear your clothes."


    "Did I ask you to wear nothing inside?"


    Kendrick found a hole in Natalie''s words and retorted.


    Indeed, Kendrick was right.


    Natalie had nothing to say in reply.


    She was so angry that she hit Kendrick''s chest with her forehead and showed her sharp teeth to bite


    him.


    Kendrick gasped immediately. Then he pinched Natalie''s cheeks, which made her lips pout.


    A sound came.


    Kendrick smacked Natalie on her butt without hesitation.


    Natalie cried out.


    Kendrick said leisurely, "If you call out louder, the nurse wille in."


    Natalie was silent.


    "Tell me!" Kendrick held Natalie''s neck and pressed her to his chest. He asked, "Am Iing on to


    you?"


    "Of course!"


    After Natalie finished speaking, Kendrick''s lips curved in a smile.


    "Want another smack?"


    "No, you''re not!"


    "Who is indecent?"


    Natalie was pressed on the back of her head by Kendrick and was unable to move at all, so she had no


    choice but to sumb. She finally said that she was indecent.


    Kendrick was the winner.


    He patted Natalie''s ass with satisfaction and tied up the loosened belt. He said, "Get dressed. Good


    night!"


    Natalie clenched her fists.


    ...


    At nine o''clock in the morning.


    Natalie went to thepany for an early meeting and told colleagues in the project team that she


    would take a day off on October 15th and would bepletely out of contact.


    Natalie asked them to deal with work by themselves first and left the work they couldn''t handle to her.


    She would handle it aftering back.


    The advance publicity of Flower Face these days was very good.


    The number of searches and sales had been skyrocketing.


    Thest incident drove nearly 10 million sales.


    Natalie was going to continue to cooperate with Haylie to sell cardamom red lipsticks next year.


    "Natalie, there will be a live stream at 9 p.m. tomorrow." Sadie reminded Natalie, "Will youe?"


    It was a live stream with a target sales amount of 500 thousand dors proposed by the operating


    team.


    Natalie agreed to the n a while ago.


    "Okay." Natalie agreed, "Just confirm the promotion and special offers information before the start of


    the live stream."


    After the meeting, Natalie went to the parking lot with herptop.


    Someone drove a car straight towards Natalie from a distance, as if trying to hit her.


    The driver mmed on the brakes in front of Natalie eleven inches away.


    Natalie was so angry at the dangerous behavior that she just wanted to knock on the window and curse


    the driver.


    The car door opened.


    A slim woman first got out of the car from the passenger seat, in a red dress and a white Chanel chic


    embroidered cotton tweed coat.


    Then the driver''s seat door opened, and someone got off.


    It was a man who Natalie was familiar with. It was Melvin.


    No wonder!


    Most people couldn''t do such a stupid thing.


    Melvin patted his lover on the shoulder and motioned for her to leave first.


    When his lover was unwilling to leave, Melvin raised his hand and was about to p her. Then the


    woman left unwillingly at once while pursing her lips. When she passed by Natalie, she looked at


    Natalie up and down for a while.


    Melvin walked weakly towards Natalie with arms akimbo.


    After walking in front of Natalie, Melvin began to apud.


    Melvin apuded for more than twenty seconds.


    Then he pointed to Natalie''s face and said, "You''re really something. I fucking underestimated you


    before."


    Melvin stomped his feet in anger, crying andughing. He continued, "I never thought Seth actually


    gave you shares and let you work in Ramsey Group."


    Natalie didn''t want to get entangled with Melvin and said, "If you are dissatisfied with it, just find


    Grandpa and talk to him." After speaking, she directly passed by Melvin and was going to drive to


    leave.


    However, Melvin blocked Natalie''s way.


    Natalie suddenly shouted forward, "Brock!"


    Melvin subconsciously let Natalie go through but found there was no one behind him.


    When Melvin turned around, Natalie had already run away.


    Melvin suddenly realized that he was fooled and then spat in anger.


    The phone rang.


    Melvin answered the phone.


    "GM-1 is banned, and the embryonic tissue of your in vitro fertilization is temporarily unable to


    develop."


    Melvin was stunned and then yelled, "I don''t understand your words. Can you make it easier? You


    mean that the child can''t grow up, right?"


    "Yes, GM-1 is currently the only medicine that can quickly promote embryonic development, but some


    time ago the president signed an executive order prohibiting its use."


    "It''s your business! Find a way to solve it!" Melvin was furious and continued, "You must get the


    medicine by hook or by crook. This child is my hope! Do you understand?"

 Chapter 137 Do You Like Children

    Chapter 137 Do You Like Children


    Chapter 137 Do You Like Children


    Kendrick just finished the test in the morning.


    He was extremely ufortable, leaning against the head of the bed with a depressed look.


    Owen was talking to Kendrick about the operation.


    Seeing that Kendrick didn''t respond, Owen said, "Have a good rest."


    Actually, such a patient was quite reassuring.


    He didn''t have much of his own thoughts during the treatment.


    Besides, he basically followed the advice of professional doctors.


    Getting along with Kendrick this month blew Owen''s mind and changed Owen''s previous cognition of


    Kendrick.


    Although Kendrick was asionally arrogant and naive, most of the time he was gentle and rational.


    "Wait." Kendrick stopped Owen and said, "I have a few questions."


    "Go ahead."


    "What are the chances of me standing up again?"


    "Eighty percent," said Owen.


    It was Owen''s conservative estimate.


    Natalie had even told Owen that it could be ny percent.


    However, Owen didn''t dare to tell Kendrick the truth.


    After all, there was no precedent for such a kind of surgery.


    Kendrick smiled.


    He had never asked this before. He just passively epted everything.


    Now, Natalie was not here, so Kendrick simply asked Owen about it.


    "Eighty percent." Kendrick repeated it and then continued, "There was no precedent for reference


    before." Kendrick looked up at Owen.


    Owen was nervous because of Kendrick''s gaze.


    "Cogen scaffold bypass graft guides nerve cell regeneration. Is this the surgical n you proposed?"


    "Yes."


    Kendrick continued, "But you haven''t studied any subject rted to it before."


    This idea waspletely ahead of the way that no one had ever tried in this era.


    Kendrick wondered how Owen came up with the idea.


    "It''s feasible," Owen exined the medical principles to Kendrick.


    "I''m not questioning your professional ability." Kendrick continued, "I just think that there is a missing


    link in the chain."


    Owen couldn''t get a reasonable exnation for a while.


    "My wife trusts you." Kendrick paused and added, "Certainly, I trust you too."


    Owen finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    ...


    When Natalie entered the ward holding flowers, she happened to see Owening out.


    Owen wanted to say something but then hesitated. Finally, he just looked at Natalie and gave a hint to


    her.


    Natalie was confused.


    She couldn''t understand what Owen meant at all!


    Looking at Owen''s downcast look, Natalie wondered if Kendrick embarrassed Owen again.


    Natalie opened the door of the ward and put flowers in the vase. Then she said, "When I came in just


    now, I ran into Dr. Gentry. His expression is difficult to describe."


    Natalie thought, "His expression is like my expression on that day when I was asked several sharp


    questions in the meeting room."


    Kendrick replied directly, "I asked him a few questions."


    Natalie wondered what questions could make Owen so frustrated.


    Natalie asked, "What did you ask?"


    "About the operation." Kendrick smiled and changed the subject, "Why are you back so early?"


    "I simply had one meeting and arranged work. Nothing serious."


    Kendrick frowned suddenly and subconsciously bent down to cover his stomach.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s okay." Kendrick shook his head, straightened up for a few seconds, and then continued to annotate


    the documents.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick''s pale face and said with concern, "Take a break. Stop reading the


    documents."


    Work was endless.


    In the name of a business trip and leaving, Kendrick only had ten days off.


    There must be many people who watched Kendrick like a hawk just because he was in charge of the


    He would be put at risk if he was not careful.


    With great power came great responsibility.


    Kendrick was in a condition that was not as easy as he showed on the surface.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Moreover, he had broken legs.


    The people who showed respect to and ttered Kendrick might disdain him in private.


    Even Kendrick''s grandfather, Seth, still hesitated because of Kendrick''s broken legs when choosing a


    sessor, even though Seth knew clearly that Kendrick was the most suitable person.


    Kendrick obediently put the documents aside.


    After Kendrick took the medicine in the morning, his stomachache-like burning hadn''t been relieved up


    till now.


    "Drink some water." Natalie fed Kendrick water. Looking at his pale face, she felt her heart ached.


    Natalie stretched out her hand to gently help Kendrick massage his stomach clockwise.


    "Do it like this!"


    Kendrick unbuttoned a button on his clothes and held Natalie''s hand to put it on his stomach.


    Natalie thought, "You started it first."


    "If you say that I''m indecentter, I''ll teach you a good lesson."


    Natalie put her hand on Kendrick''s stomach and slowly massaged him.


    "Feel better?" After about five or six minutes, Natalie asked.


    Kendrick replied, "Go on."


    He closed his eyes contentedly.


    Natalie didn''t refuse Kendrick although he smacked her on her buttst night.


    Natalie thought, "How kind I am!"


    Kendrick drank another ss of warm water and leaned against the head of the bed. After a while, he


    had a better face.


    Natalie took advantage of the situation to feel Kendrick''s abdominal muscles.


    Natalie thought in surprise, "Even if he lies down, the outline of his abdominal muscles is still so clear!"


    "What a self-disciplined man! Well, that''s so typical of Kendrick."


    Natalie stroked down along Kendrick''s abdominal muscles bit by bit.


    Finally, Natalie poked Kendrick''s abdominal muscles twice.


    Natalie thought, "They''re so hard."


    Kendrick closed his eyes and didn''t stop Natalie. After Natalie poked another several times, he slowly


    opened his eyes and squinted at Natalie. He asked, "Are they hard?"


    Natalie nodded shyly.


    Kendrick directly held Natalie in his arms and straightened up slightly. Then he teasingly asked in a low


    voice in her ears, "Tell me. Is it harderpared to my thing that night in the study?"


    Natalie was confused.


    That night? In the study?


    Kendrick held Natalie''s hand and helped her recall.


    Natalie instantly blushed.


    She wanted to say something but couldn''t find the right words. Then she picked up the pillow and


    mmed it on Kendrick''s face.


    Natalie stuffed the documents into Kendrick''s hand. Pretending to be fierce, she said, "Just read your


    documents. Work hard and don''t ck off!"


    Natalie thought, "It''s still working time."


    "Everyone is working hard."


    "Only Kendrick is so idle that he actually has time toe on to me!"


    "I must stop this kind of bad behavior in time."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    Natalie stood up and drank a cup of water to calm down. She came over with the cup and said, "I met


    Melvin in the parking lot of Ramsey Industrial Park today."


    Kendrick raised his eyes and asked, "Did he do anything to you?"


    "He blocked my way. I pretended to see Brock and called him, and it scared Melvin." Natalie continued,


    "Last time Grandpa beat him up, so he was afraid of me. Don''t worry. I will still be careful not to have a


    head-on confrontation with him."


    "What has he been doingtely?" Natalie frowned and said, "Today is the first time I''ve seen him in


    Ramsey Group. I think he''s healed."


    Kendrick raised his eyes and replied, "He is busy having a baby by IVF."


    Natalie was speechless.


    "Does he want a child?"


    "Yes, he specifically said that he wanted a boy," Kendrick replied contemptuously.


    Natalie was shocked and thought, "Does Melvin think that he could turn the table just by a child?"


    "Does he want to make aeback count on the child?"


    "Yes, but..." Kendrick said coldly, "I won''t let him seed!"


    Natalie sighed, "The child is so pitiful. He knows nothing when he''s born, and he can''t make any


    choice. He is forced to ept his destiny and is used as a cat''s paw."


    Kendrick gazed at Natalie and thought of something. He suddenly asked, "Do you like children?"

    Chapter 138 We Can Have a Baby After Your Legs Heal


    Natalie nodded.


    She added, "I like a child who is smart and lovely. He or she is clingy and sensible."


    Kendrick smiled and said, "It''s not easy to get your affection!"


    Natalie always didn''t express her love and hate clearly.


    She treated everyone politely.


    But she also didn''t get close to anyone.


    Natalie was always well ahead of others because she was excellent. Although she was sincere to


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    others, she still alienated them.


    She was indifferent.


    "You''re right." Natalie raised her eyebrows and saidcently, "So you are very lucky."


    Kendrick''s gentle smile made his face look not as pale as before.


    Natalie looked at Kendrick. Thinking of what he had said, Natalie leaned closer and asked in a low


    voice, "Do you want a child?"


    Natalie was not only Kendrick''s wife but also the hostess of the Ramsey family.


    Therefore, some things couldn''t be avoided.


    Kendrick pressed his lips slightly. After thinking for a while, he touched Natalie''s face and said, "I''ll


    respect your opinion."


    Having a baby is hard work for women.


    Kendrick knew he couldn''t take good care of Natalie before his legs healed.


    Natalie pressed her lips and suddenly said, "Dr. Gentry said that you have a 90% chance of standing


    up. After the surgery, you still need to go through a period of rehabilitation training. It will be very hard,


    but I will always be with you."


    After a pause, she plucked up the courage to say, "We can have a baby after your legs heal!"


    Natalie thought, "I''ve agreed. Kendrick, don''t give up!"


    Kendrick was stunned by Natalie''s words.


    After speaking, Natalie felt shy and thought she was not reserved.


    Natalie buried her face in Kendrick''s chest. She bit her lip and asked after a long time, "Why do you


    keep silent?"


    "OK!" Kendrick obviously just got back hisposure.


    Soon, Kendrick asked, "Didn''t you say that you wanted to go to school after my legs healed?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    Natalie forgot when she said such words.


    After a while, she suddenly remembered.


    Natalie didn''t expect that Kendrick would remember it all the time. After all, she was just saying.


    "I don''t want to go to school." Natalie immediately refused.


    Kendrick frowned slightly.


    "Do you mind that I''m uneducated?"


    "No."


    "You do." Natalie struck Kendrick''s breast and deliberately repeated, "I don''t want to go to school. No.


    No. No!"


    "As you wish!" Kendrick sighed helplessly.


    Then he thought he should consider having a baby a long timeter.


    After all, taking care of two babies was really tiring.


    Especially the childish Natalie made Kendrick sometimes have the illusion of raising a daughter.


    ...


    On the evening of October 14th, Flower Face had a live stream.


    The host was originally the Inte celebrity Nomi Moyer, but Natalie thought she was vulgar, so


    Natalie directly made Royce and Haylie the partners to host the live stream.


    It was the advantage of having the right to speak.


    Natalie could make decisive decisions.


    Natalie went to the scene to check whether the promotion information was prepared before the live


    stream, and she happened to see Royce and Haylieing.


    "Nat." Haylie came over to say hello immediately when she saw Natalie.


    Not only Haylie''s career was not damaged. but it was better than before. Her makeup was popr, and


    many Inte celebrities imitated it.


    "You''re here so early," Natalie said and smiled.


    "I''m here early to talk to Royce about the script of this live stream. After all, it''s the first time we have


    cooperated!" Haylie hugged Natalie and pinched Natalie''s face familiarly. Haylie said jokingly, "Your


    skin is so good. Tell me your secrets about skincare quickly."


    Natalie replied, "Maybe it''s because I''m young!"


    Haylie was startled, because only then did Haylie know that Natalie was only twenty-two years old.


    "Flower Face will sell new products next year, and I''ll still cooperate with you." Natalie said to Haylie,


    "There will be colleagues who will connect with you shortly."


    "Love you! You are my sweetheart." Haylie was honey-tongued and could read the room, so she could


    be an Inte celebrity with millions of followers.


    Natalie smiled demurely but thought proudly, "Is that feeling to be a sugar daddy?"


    "I''m going to find Royce to check the script. After that, I''ll touch up my foundation and then start the live


    streamter."


    "Okay, go ahead!"


    The live stream would start at 9 p.m. and end at 11 p.m.


    The preliminary preparation of the two-hour live stream took a week.


    Haylie and Royce worked well together. Both of them were humorous. They directly made the live


    stream be a talk show. The number of viewers increased from ten thousand to one hundred


    thousand and exceeded one million at the end.


    It totally exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    The sales were originally set at 3 million orders, but it directly nearly tripled to 8 million orders.


    Colleagues who were dissatisfied with Natalie''s decision to change the hosts were also convinced of


    her now.


    It was useless to boast.


    Only data could make peoplepletely convinced.


    Before the future big promotion, Natalie had already brought satisfaction to everyone.


    At eleven o''clock, several colleagues in charge of the live stream were going to have a midnight snack


    and invited Natalie to go with them.


    Natalie shook her head and said with a smile, "No, thanks. I have ns for tomorrow."


    "You have ns for Saturday!"


    "Yes, you guys can leave first. I''ll sort out the things and send them back to the storeroom."


    A female colleague was left to help Natalie clean up.


    But the colleague seemed to be unwilling. She just took the lightest box and then threw the box directly


    on the ground when they got to the storeroom. She said, "It''ste. I have to go first, otherwise, I won''t


    get a taxi."


    Natalie didn''t keep the colleague.


    She was about to stay in the storeroom by herself to check if there were any damaged or lost samples


    and then go back to the hospital.


    Thirty minutester, the light above Natalie''s head shed and then suddenly went off.


    Then Natalie heard a click from outside. It was the sound of locking the door.


    Natalie immediately turned on the shlight on her mobile phone and groped through the darkness


    toward the door, but she found that the door could not be opened from the inside.


    Someone locked Natalie inside the storeroom.


    Natalie thought, "Did the patrolling security guard lock me by mistake?"


    Natalie thought so at first, but soon the central air-conditioning started, and the cold air blew out from


    the vent above.


    Natalie looked at her mobile phone and found she had no cellphone reception. She was suddenly quite


    despairing.


    There was no signal in the storeroom. Natalie couldn''t send any text messages or make a phone call.


    Natalie tried to calm down, opened the small window, and shouted downstairs, "Is anyone there?"


    It was 11 p.m, and it was Friday!


    Almost no one was working overtime at thepany now.


    Moreover, the cool air conditioner was deliberately turned on.


    Natalie was dressed thinly, and she couldn''t resist the cold.


    Natalie took out her mobile phone again and made a voice call.


    However, she had poor reception and failed to make a voice call.


    Natalie had told Kendrick that she could go back to the hospital tomorrow morning because she would


    finish workingte. She also asked Kendrick to take a rest early.


    The time ticked away.


    Natalie didn''t give up and opened the window again to shout downstairs for help.


    As soon as the window opened, the cold wind whistled in, making Natalie colder.


    Natalie was shivering with cold.


    She could do nothing but only hope that the patrolling security guard would find her at 1 a.m.


    Natalie was very scared that no one found her.


    Kendrick''s surgery would start at 10 a.m. tomorrow.


    It admitted of no dy.


    At about midnight, there was suddenly a pat on the door outside.


    Someone said, "Is anyone inside?"


    Natalie immediately propped her frozen body up and responded, "Yes, I''m locked inside. Can you open


    the door?"

    "The door is locked." A young and clear voice said, "Please wait a minute. Don''t be nervous."


    "Help me." Natalie pleaded with a trembling voice, "Please don''t go."


    "I''m not leaving. I''ll go fetch a tool to break open the lock."


    It soon got quiet outside.


    Had he left?


    Natalie got desperate.


    Twenty minutester, she heard someone breaking the lock.


    The man didn''t lie. He came back.


    The door was opened.


    The light outside was dazzling. After Natalie got used to the light, she saw the man standing before her.


    He was gangly, around 5.9 feet tall. He waved a little hammer and said, "It took me a while to look for


    this."


    "I thought you left."


    "No." He chuckled with amusement. "How could I leave after I promised to help you?"


    Natalie raised her face and said gratefully, "Thank you!"


    The man was startled when he saw her face. After a good while, he managed to say, "Are you


    Natalie?"


    Natalie was surprised.


    She looked at his face closely. He was handsome and looked a bit childish. She guessed he was her


    age.


    But who was he?


    Was he a friend of the host?


    Natalie couldn''t remember him at all.


    "Don''t you recognize me?" The boy said in surprise, "I''m Saul Williamson from the astronomy club at


    university. We used to work on the same stargazing project."


    Natalie coughed and said, "I''m sorry. I feel cold."


    Saul sensed the temperature behind her and asked with a frown, "Is the air conditioning on?


    "Yes."


    "Come to the radiator and warm up." Saul directly held Natalie''s arm and took her to a ce with the


    radiator, making her sit down. "I''ll fetch a ss of hot water for you."


    After a while, Saul came back with a ss of hot water and handed it to Natalie. He sat next to her and


    said, "I was drawing downstairs. When I heard you shouting for help, I came up to take a look. How did


    you get locked inside?"


    "Someone did it on purpose."


    "Who is it?"


    "I don''t know for the time being." Natalie gritted her teeth and struck the table with her palm. "If I know


    who it is, I''ll ssh cold water all over her and lock her up to enjoy the air-conditioning for a whole


    night."


    The hot water in the ss spilled out when she pped the table.


    Saul edged away from her.


    He asked hesitantly, "Did you offend anyone in thepany?"


    Natalie said, "Well, I offended too many people, so I don''t know who did it for the moment."


    Saul was speechless.


    "I''m in Industrial Design Department, responsible for designing new energy vehicles." Saul majored in


    Industrial Design at university and joined the Ramsey Group upon graduation.


    Natalie took a sip of the hot water and said, "I''m in Fashion Marketing Department."


    She didn''t know anything about the man before her at all. Since he was a schoolmate of the host, she


    had to be cautious not to expose her secret.


    Saul asked again, "By the way, do you remember..."


    "Saul..." Natalie suddenly said, "I got sick at university." She pointed at her head and continued, "I lost


    some memories, so I don''t quite remember the past."


    Saul was taken aback. He said ruefully, "I''m sorry."


    "It''s okay. Thanks for saving me." Natalie said sincerely, "I''ll buy you coffee another day." She got to her


    feet and said, "I have something else to do now. I''ll drive back first."


    "Okay. Take care." When Saul saw her light clothes, he asked with concern, "Shall I give you my coat?


    It''s cold outside."


    "No, thank you. I have a coat in my car." Natalie said goodbye to him.


    Saul waved goodbye at her.


    When Natalie went to her car, she checked her phone and found that Kendrick sent her a message half


    an hour ago.


    She quickly replied to his message, "I finished my work. I was working just now and didn''t see your


    message. I''m going home now. I''lle to the hospital tomorrow morning."


    They said goodnight to each other.


    Natalie pressed her forehead with her hand and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly.


    She closed her eyes and felt the joy of surviving the disaster, saying inwardly, "The road to happiness


    is strewn with setbacks."


    When Natalie got up at six in the morning, she found that she was having a fever.


    She took a fever-reducing pill and drove to the hospital. When she saw Owen, she said, "Give me an


    injection of C7."


    Owen widened his eyes in shock, "Are you out of your mind?"


    Didn''t she know the serious side effect from the use of C7?


    "Look at me..." Natalie said in a hoarse voice, "I can''t finish the surgery in my current condition. My


    heart beats fast, and I''m a nervous wreck. I''m afraid I can''t concentrate and will fail the surgery."


    "No, I can''t do that," said Owen.


    C7 could calm one''s mind quickly, make one forget about the physical pain, and help concentrate.


    However, it had a significant impact on the heart.


    "The surgery will take over ten hours. We can talk about thister." Natalie said pleadingly, "We have


    our career together? I''ll feel sick afterward, but I can handle it."


    They couldn''t convince each other.


    Natalie raised her voice. "Owen, I regard you as my friend, but you don''t treat me the same way and


    refuse my request."


    Owen remained unruffled.


    Natalie stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve. "I''ll take only one injection, and I''ll be fine.


    Owen, I beg you."


    "Follow me." Own finally gave in.


    After Natalie took the injection of C7, her fever was reduced quickly. She felt her heartbeat slower and


    her body lighter.


    She entered the ward and encouraged Kendrick.


    Kendrick was calm.


    He evenforted Natalie and asked her not to be nervous.


    He said withposure, "I''ll do my best."


    His legs had regained consciousness, and this was beyond his expectation.


    He thought he would look greedy if he asked for more.


    Although Kendrick anticipated a better oue, he retrained himself and remained cautious, not


    wishing to bring more pressure on the people around him.


    After he spoke, he touched Natalie''s hands and asked with a frown, "Why are your hands so cold?"


    Natalie exined, "It''s cold in the morning."


    Kendrick held her hands and tried to warm them.


    After a while, he found her hands still cold and asked in confusion, "Why can''t I warm you up? Why


    don''t you put your hands in my arms?"


    Natalie gave a gentle smile and rubbed her hands, saying, "I can warm them up in this way."


    She stooped to kiss his lips and reminded him, "The surgery will start soon." She held his hand and


    pressed it, saying solemnly, "There will be good news."


    At half past nine, Kendrick entered the operating room to receive general anesthesia.


    Natalie changed into a surgical gown and wore a medical mask, following Owen into the operating


    room.


    The checkup before surgery had been done.


    Natalie lifted Kendrick''s eyelid to see if the anesthesia had started to work.


    Kendrick''s pupils were dted, and he had lost his consciousness.

 Chapter 140 The Surgery Is Successful

    Chapter 140 The Surgery Is Sessful


    Chapter 140 The Surgery Is Sessful


    "If I could get in the book, I would help Kendrick stand up."


    This was the first thought that came across Natalie''s mind when she read the story about this world.


    She skipped the drama of theplicated and hurting rtionship.


    And she went straight to the ending.


    Kendrick was still the indifferent and aloof business tycoon.


    He sat in a wheelchair and had direct control over everything in the Ramsey Group.


    He didn''t have any feelings for anyone.


    All his rtionships were built on money except for family affection.


    No one could understand him.


    From the first day Natalie met Kendrick, she had been thinking of curing him and making everyone look


    up on him.


    And now¡­


    Natalie had to concentrate all her efforts.


    "The scars have been eliminated."


    "The stent has been put inside."


    "The stem cells have been transnted sessfully."


    ¡­


    Time ticked away.


    All of the steps werepleted under the strict supervision of Natalie.


    As she operated, she exined it to Owen.


    Owen was lucky to witness the most advanced medical skills that were ahead of time.


    The scars caused by syringomyelia had been eliminated.


    It was a fiddly job, and the scars couldn''t be seen with the naked eye. They had to resort to


    electrophysiological monitoring.


    This was beyond ordinary people.


    Owen listened to Natalie intently, not daring to miss a single word.


    Suddenly, Natalie paused.


    She swayed.


    Owen instinctively supported her and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Natalie heard her heart thumping. It seemed it had skipped a beat just now.


    She shook her head and continued, "The stent can connect the nervous tissues like a bridge and help


    them regenerate."


    After she spoke, she paused for a while.


    It was eight o''clock in the evening.


    The surgerysted for a day.


    Natalie didn''t eat anything and only had glucose during the day.


    Evidently, her energy didn''t allow her to stick to the end.


    As Natalie sewed up the minimally invasive wound, she told Owen, "This kind of suture helps patients''


    rapid recovery and won''t leave any scars."


    She said atst, "I''ll leave it to you."


    ¡­


    The surgery went well.


    Kendrick''s impaired spinal cord had been restored.


    After the surgery, he would need GM-1 to speed up the growth of nerve cells.


    In this way, Kendrick could have a full recovery.


    He would walk freely without any external support.


    Natalie went back to the changing room and let out a long sigh.


    The surgery was sessful.


    If her teacher was here with her, he would praise her for her high skills.


    Natalie smiled and said inwardly, "Mr. Wright, it''s a pity I can''t tell you about this. I don''t know if I can


    meet you again in the future, but I will remember everything you taught me, and I won''t let you down."


    Natalie took off the surgical gown.


    She was wet all over, as if she was soaked in water.


    However, she felt that her body was light at this moment.


    It seemed she was floating when she walked.


    She thought something was wrong with her.


    Without thinking much, she quickly took the bracelet from her pocket and intended to wear it on her


    wrist.


    She was dizzy, seeing double.


    Everything got blurry.


    Natalie heard the raspy sound from her chest and the buzzing in her ear. She passed out and fell on


    the sofa in the lounge. The bracelet slipped away in the fall.


    ¡­


    Natalie was standing in a thick fog.


    She walked forward for a very long time.


    The clouds dispersed, and the fog lifted.


    There were two paths ahead of her.


    She didn''t know where they would take her.


    After hesitating for a while, Natalie chose the path on the right and walked along.


    She stood in front of a familiar house.


    The door opened, and Mrs. Wright''s delighted voice came through. "Nat, where have you been these


    days? You haven''te to see us for a long time."


    "Why are your hands so cold?" Mrs. Wright held Natalie''s hands and said, "Easton hasn''te back


    yet. Take a seat. I''ll get you a ss of milk."


    A big ss of milk was put in front of Natalie.


    It was tasty.


    Natalie smiled at Mrs. Wright and held the ss, drinking the milk.


    "Mrs. Wright, I gotta go back," said Natalie as she put down the ss.


    "Where are you going?"


    "I''m going home." Natalie said, "Kendrick is waiting for me at home. I didn''t tell him when I went out


    today. If I go backte, he will be upset."


    Mrs. Wright was taken aback. She grabbed Natalie''s hands and said, "Nat, what nonsense are you


    talking about? This is your home. You just got here. Why do you leave now?"


    "Mrs. Wright, actually¡­"


    Everything before Natalie''s eyes suddenly disappeared.


    She heard Owen''s voice. "Are you awake?"


    Natalie opened her eyes in a daze. After a long while, she turned to look at Owen in confusion.


    "You suddenly fainted in the lounge." Owen frowned and then said, "Thankfully, I found you in time."


    When he saw that Natalie intended to sit up, he quickly stopped her. "What are you doing? Lie down!"


    His voice was stern, and Natalie was taken aback.


    "How is Kendrick doing?"


    "He''s still in aa." Owen said, "The surgery went well, and all the stem cells have been transnted


    sessfully."


    Natalie let out a sigh of relief.


    Owen took a deep look at Natalie and said, "I suspect that you''re an alien."


    There weren''t such advanced medical concepts and methods on Earth.


    Natalie nodded and said, "Yes, I am."


    "Which are you from? I''ll keep it a secret for you."


    "M78 Neb."


    Owen was speechless.


    When he was about to say something, Natalie gasped and said with fright, "Oh, no."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Where''s my bracelet?" Natalie raised her wrist and asked, "Did you see it?"


    Owen shook his head and said, "I didn''t notice it when I helped you up."


    It was urgent at that moment.


    If Owen dyed the rescue, Natalie could die.


    Therefore, he didn''t notice the bracelet.


    When Natalie heard that, she tried to get out of bed.


    "I''ll look for it. Take a rest." Owen stopped her and said, "Don''t worry. Take it easy. No one will enter the


    lounge for the moment. If you drop the bracelet there, I''ll find it."


    Owen was exhausted from the surgery thatsted for a whole day, but he struggled to look for the lost


    bracelet for Natalie.


    Natalie told him that when she was going to put on the bracelet, she suddenly passed out.


    She didn''t know what happened after that.


    Owen searched every corner of the lounge, but he couldn''t find the bracelet.


    He moved the sofa, but the bracelet was not there.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    If the small bracelet slipped into some crevices, it would be difficult to find it.


    Owen straightened up his body.


    His forehead was covered in sweat.


    "Haven''t you found it?"


    Natalie couldn''t help getting out of bed anding to the lounge.


    Owen shook his head. "Not yet."


    Natalie saw that Owen had moved the sofa, so she stretched out her hand and fumbled each slot in the


    sofa. She had touched all the ces that her hands could reach.


    But she failed to find the bracelet.


    Natalie''s face turned pale with a trace of desperation.


    Owen asked carefully, "Perhaps you can buy an identical bracelet."


    "No, I can''t buy it." Natalie plopped to the sofa in dismay and covered her face with her hands. She


    sounded desperate.


    "I''ll look for it again."


    In the end, even Owen was desperate.


    They didn''t know where the bracelet was.


    There was no surveince camera in the lounge.


    "I''m indeed¡­" Natalie med herself in a sobbed voice, "I''m indeed stupid."


    How could she lose the bracelet?


    It was a gift from Kendrick on their first date in the cinema. The bracelet was engraved with the n


    insignia of the Ramsey family and his name. It had a significant meaning.


    When Owen was about to soothe her, his phone rang.


    After answering the phone, he said to Natalie, "He has a postoperative fever. Let''s go see him."

 Chapter 141 The Bracelet Is Lost

    Chapter 141 The Bracelet Is Lost


    Chapter 141 The Bracelet Is Lost


    Natalie couldn''t stay in the lounge to continue the search.


    Owen was right.


    If she dropped the bracelet in the lounge, she coulde back to look for itter.


    She would find it.


    Natalie nced at the clock.


    It was four o''clock in the morning.


    She grabbed the cor of her sweater and lifted it to cover half of her face, letting out a heavy sigh and


    hurrying away to the ward.


    Kendrick had a fever because of the wound.


    Thankfully, his central nervous system was not infected.


    Owen checked on Kendrick and said the problem was minor, suggesting they wait for the fever to


    reduce naturally without any medication.


    Natalie sat by the bed and held Kendrick''s hand.


    His palm was burning, and his face was red. He kept frowning at the pain without much consciousness


    in thea.


    However, when Natalie held his hand, Kendrick seemed to respond to her.


    Natalie buried her face in his palm and muttered softly, "You''ll get better."


    Owen came over and asked her to take a rest.


    Natalie didn''t want to leave.


    "He''s not out of danger." She said, "He might suffer postoperativeplications. I feel safe when I stay


    with him here."


    Owen thought she was stubborn.


    "Don''t you care about your own health?" He unusually raised his voice. "I''ll arrange for someone to look


    after him. I''ll stay here too."


    Natalie didn''t budge.


    She said, "He needs me now."


    Owen said calmly, "He won''t wake up in a short while even if you''re here. Moreover, you''ve just woken


    up. Your condition doesn''t allow you to exhaust yourself."


    Natalie didn''t say a word.


    Owen turned to leave quietly. After a while, he came back with a ss of water and handed it to


    Natalie. "Drink some water."


    Natalie thanked him and drank the water.


    She soon felt sleepy.


    Her eyelids became heavy.


    She couldn''t help drifting off to sleep.


    ...


    Owen finally managed to put Natalie on the sofa in the ward and let her take a good rest.


    He instructed the nurses to observe Kendrick closely.


    If there were any wound infections or otherplications, they should report to him immediately.


    Owen felt exhausted at this moment.


    He went to the lounge and looked for the bracelet.


    He almost overturned the sofas in the room, but he failed to find Natalie''s bracelet.


    Owen went to ask his assistants.


    They said they didn''t see the bracelet.


    The two of them didn''t enter the lounge.


    Owen didn''t know where the bracelet was.


    He raised his hand and pressed his forehead with a disturbed look.


    He thought the bracelet must be very important to Natalie.


    She seemed to have cried just now.


    Suddenly, Owen''s phone rang.


    He looked at the caller''s name.


    His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly answered the phone.


    "I''ve arrived."


    "Didn''t you say you woulde at the end of the month?"


    "I came earlier. Let''s meet tomorrow. I''ll give you GM-1. I can''t stay long here."


    "Okay." Owen said gently and solemnly, "Mother, thank you!"


    Brynn chuckled softly and said, "Owen, don''t mention it. You''re my son, and I''m willing to do anything


    for you. Moreover, you haven''t asked me for anything over the years. I''m hanging up. See you


    tomorrow."


    "See you tomorrow."


    Brynn hung up the phone.


    Owen suddenly felt relieved.


    His mother had been reluctant to set foot in Hamgrad.


    However, she made an exception for him and brought GM-1 back to Hamgrad in the name of academic


    exchange.


    ...


    Natalie slept through the night.


    The nurse told her that Kendrick''s fever was gone. He was in a stable condition. Nothing bad


    happened.


    That soothed Natalie.


    Owen brought her breakfast. There was milk, eggs, and ravioli.


    When he handed her the breakfast, Natalie pped him on the shoulder.


    She said sternly, "There was something wrong with the water you gave me."


    Owen said calmly, "I didn''t want to see you faint again."


    Natalie was speechless.


    The two of them sat on the sofa.


    After Natalie drank a ss of milk, she asked in a low voice, "Haven''t you found the bracelet yet?"


    Owen shook his head.


    Natalie sighed with a worried expression.


    "I''m doomed. The bracelet was a gift from Kendrick. He asked me not to take it off." Natalie said with a


    troubled look, "I not only took it off but also lost it. I can''t think of any reason he won''t get angry."


    Owen was speechless.


    After a while, he said, "Why don''t you tell him the truth?"


    Natalie took a deep look at Owen and said, "Why don''t I tell him that Ie from the M78 Neb


    instead of the Earth?"


    Owen said, "You''re scared out of your wits. You''re talking nonsense."


    He couldn''t give any advice on this.


    Since he met Natalie, everything had been developing beyond his imagination.


    "I''ll look for the bracelet first. If I can''t find it, I''ll see how I exin it to him."


    Natalie was in a dilemma.


    No matter how she exined it, it seemed not right even if she told the truth.


    If she went to tell Kendrick that she was the one who performed the surgery on him, he might touch her


    forehead and say, "Nat, What has got into you?"


    Natalie scratched her head and decided to stay calm and see how things would go.


    Owenforted her, "Don''t be upset. I have good news for you."


    "What is it?"


    "GM-1 has arrived smoothly, and I''ll get it tonight."


    Natalie abruptly rose from the chair and nearly spilled the milk.


    Her heart suddenly ached.


    Natalie clutched at her chest and sat down slowly, saying, "Owen, the abrupt mood swings from the


    grief and joy almost stopped my heart from beating."


    She thought she should take heart relievers with her from now on.


    Owen got serious and didn''t take her words as a joke. "Take care of yourself. Have a checkup. Don''t


    take it lightly."


    After Natalie recovered from the heartache, she asked, "Is the arrival of GM-1 a secret?"


    "It''s confidential."


    "I''ll go with you."


    Owen hesitated. His mother didn''t want anyone but him to know that she hade to Hamgrad."


    "I''ll drive you there. I don''t care who you are meeting." Natalie said, "It''s very important, and I have to


    make sure nothing unexpected will happen."


    Owen agreed to her request.


    The nurse came to report that Kendrick was gaining consciousness.


    She guessed he would wake up soon.


    After Natalie learned that, she quickly rose to go to the ward.


    Under the remaining effect of anesthesia, Kendrick was swollen all over. He felt dizzy with the pain and


    couldn''t even open his eyes.


    "Nat..."


    Kendrick said her name with difficulty.


    His voice was dry and hoarse as if his throat had been ground.


    In his dreamy state, he felt someone hold his hands.


    "I''m here."


    Kendrick suddenly felt relieved.


    Natalie had been with him all along.

    Kendrick was too weak to see who was before his eyes, but he didn''t want to let go of her hands.


    He uttered something again.


    His voice was too weak.


    Natalie had to put her ear near his mouth to hear what he was saying.


    "Don''t go..."


    At this moment, Kendrick showed Natalie his weakest side without a trace of intimidation and aloofness


    that he used to treat the world with.

    The pain in his wound was burning, and his nerves were constantly on edge.


    Kendrick''s brain was befogged, and he seemed to be in a dream. His body was light, and a thick fog


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    surrounded him. He stood there and saw a light in the distance.


    He made an attempt to lift his legs and found he could walk, so he immediately headed toward the


    light.


    He reached a ce where the dark ended and the light began.


    A girl was standing there.


    "Kendrick!"


    She called out.


    He ran over and smelled her fragrance of orange blossom and rose. That was the fresh scent of her


    favorite body wash.


    It was Natalie. She came from the light and stretched her hand at him. "Don''t stand there."


    She turned around.


    He hastily grabbed her hand and said, "Don''t go."


    She looked back at him and smiled. "I''m not leaving you." She held his hand tightly and said, "I''ll take


    you to the light. It''s too dark here."


    "Okay."


    "I can walk now."


    The girl who held his hand smiled brightly. "Of course, I know."


    The road seemed endless.


    But she walked with him, hand in hand.


    ...


    Natalie held Kendrick''s hand and said repeatedly, "I''m not leaving you." Slowly, he calmed down.


    He hadn''t woken uppletely.


    He seemed to be lost in a dream.


    But he held Natalie''s hand tightly and wouldn''t let go of it.


    When Owen checked on the wound, Kendrick wouldn''t loosen his grip.


    Owen was speechless. He beckoned Natalie to pacify Kendrick.


    Natalie wiped Kendrick''s face with a towel and whispered in his ear that the doctor hade to check


    on his wound.


    She coaxed him for a good while.


    Kendrick got sober and released Natalie''s hand.


    After Owen checked on the wound, he said, "There is no infection or bleeding for the moment." He


    lowered his voice and praised, "The wound was sewed well."


    Natalie was not proud. "It was a normal operation."


    Owen was speechless.


    "It''s better than I imagined." Owen said seriously, "There hasn''t been any immune response to the stem


    cell transntation. After his wound heals, we''ll test his reactive potency."


    Natalie asked, "Are you sure that GM-1 will arrive tonight?"


    "Yes." Owen said, "But I only learned about it before, so I don''t have any clinical experiences."


    Natalie soothed him. "Don''t worry about that."


    Owen looked at her in surprise and muttered, "You''re an emissary from the M78 Neb. Could you


    please tell me how you know about all this?"


    Natalie pressed her lips and said, "I''ll tell you when the opportunity arises."


    Owen didn''t press her. "Okay."


    He nced at the clock and said, "It''s almost time. Let''s go."


    ...


    Brynn asked Owen to meet her at nine o''clock at night.


    They were going to meet in a secluded coffee shop.


    Natalie drove Owen to the coffee shop.


    She kept her promise.


    She didn''t ask him who brought the medicine.


    After all, it was a secret.


    After she parked the car, Natalie said, "I''ll wait for you in the car."


    "I''ll be back soon."


    "Please convey my gratitude to your friend. If she needs my help in the future, I''ll try my best."


    "Okay. I''ll tell her that."


    Owen got out of the car and entered the coffee shop.


    The coffee shop would be closed at ten o''clock.


    They were thest customers.


    When Owen entered the coffee shop, a wooden sign that wrote Closed was hung on the doorknob.


    Owen went straight upstairs to the second floor.


    He saw a woman in a red turtleneck sweater sitting by the window.


    Her hair was tied up, and she looked elegant.


    When Owen approached her, she rose to give him a hug.


    After they greeted each other, Brynn sat down and said, "I''ll take a flight tomorrow afternoon."


    "Why do you leave so soon?"


    "Cedric is on his own. I''m afraid he can''t take care of himself. When I went to Sweetnd on business


    kept barking because of the shock."


    When he heard his mother jest about his father, Owen couldn''t help smiling.


    "I''ve brought it here." Brynn handed Owen a small silver suitcase. "I''ve checked on it. The medicine is


    well preserved and hasplete bioactivity."


    Owen quickly thanked her.


    "Just a reminder." Brynn tapped the table and said, "Several states in Cruxham have started to legite


    against the production of GM-1 for ethical and moral considerations."


    It was rted to the embryonic development of humans.


    Therefore, it touched the bottom line of human rtions.


    Brynn gave Owen a long deep look and said, "You''re not the only one interested in GM-1 in Hamgrad.


    Be careful. Besides, I hope you will use it in the right way."


    Owen wanted to exin it to her.


    Brynn interrupted him. "You know I trust you, but I won''t forgive you if you make a wrong use of it."


    There was no need for an exnation.


    When Brynn trusted someone, she didn''t need any exnation.


    Brynn nced at her watch and took out a small box, handing it to Owen. "I wasn''t there with you on


    your birthday one week ago. This is your birthday present."


    Owen opened the box and saw a pair of earrings.


    "What''s this?"


    Looking at her son''s confused face, Brynn finally believed no one was perfect. Owen was a genius, but


    he was an idiot when it came to love. No wonder he remained single.


    "When you meet the girl you like, you can help her wear the earrings." Brynn said, "Chase after her and


    say sweet words. Girls like sweet words."


    Owen put away the box and asked in confusion, "Mother, you don''t seem to like sweet words."


    "Who says that?" Brynn raised her brow and said, "A few praises from Cedric can make me happy for a


    long time."


    Owen thought it was different.


    His foster parents treated each other like best friends.


    "I gotta go." Brynn beckoned Owen to put away the box and said, "Contact me if you need anything. I


    won''te to Hamgrad in the near future."


    She came and went briskly.


    She was always philosophical and independent.


    ...


    Natalie had waited in the car for twenty minutes.


    She felt thirsty, so she got out of the car and went to the convenience store to buy water.


    It was raining outside.


    When she left the store with the water, she met an olddy that begged her for money.


    Natalie didn''t have any small change.


    She turned around and bought milk and bread, handing them to the olddy.


    When she saw the soaked carton board box in the olddy''s hands, Natalie guessed that the olddy


    made a living by selling junk. When she thought of this, Natalie handed her umbre to the olddy.


    The olddy quickly thanked Natalie.


    It waste autumn.


    A fine drizzle began to veil the sky and the ground like silver silk threads.


    There was a distance between the convenience stores and the parking lot.


    Natalie intended to walk there in the rain.


    After she took a few steps, her sleeve was grabbed by someone.


    Following that, an umbre opened above her head.


    "It''s not good for a girl to get wet in the rain."


    Natalie heard a gentle and slow female voice, which had a trace of age.


    She looked up and saw the woman under the umbre.


    The woman was smiling faintly.


    Natalie could see the aging signs at the corner of the woman''s eye.


    However, the woman looked elegant with her perfect features and fair skin.


    Natalie was taken aback by her face.


    The woman looked familiar.


    She seemed...

    Chapter 143 The Best Man in the World


    Chapter 143 The Best Man in the World


    Natalie was in a daze.


    Before Natalie came back to her senses and said thanks, the woman handed the umbre to Natalie


    and got in the ck car that came to pick her up.


    Natalie held the umbre and walked toward the parking lot quietly.


    Owen came from the other direction with the small suitcase tucked under his trench coat.


    He patted the suitcase and gave a delighted smile. "I got it. Let''s hurry back and freeze it in liquid


    nitrogen."


    Natalie closed the umbre and started the car.


    She thought of the face of the woman who gave her the umbre just now.


    After a while, she finally realized something.


    The woman looked like her.


    Natalie didn''t think she was bragging or was being narcissistic.


    She was startled at the sight of the woman''s face because she seemed to see herself.


    Of course, the kind woman was older than her.


    In fact, Natalie looked like her.


    ...


    Natalie tested the bioactivity of GM-1 overnight.


    It was intact and effective.


    Natalie carefully drew it out with a syringe and mixed it with other medicines proportionally.


    Owen watched it intently on the side.


    He asked curiously, "GM-1 can also promote embryonic growth. Won''t it be a great hope for


    infertile couples?"


    Natalie shook her head. "No, it can''t. The embryo will stop growing at a certain stage after being


    injected with GM-1 and thus can''t be a fetus. GM-1 was forbidden to be put into use in the


    beginning. As the research continued, the ban was lifted. However, that happened many yearster."


    It wasplicated.


    Natalie looked back at Owen.


    He was bewildered.


    Natalie changed the topic. "Do you remember the proportion and dosage of the injection medicines?"


    Owen nodded.


    "I''ll let you operate it."


    Natalie handed it over to him and teased him. "You have to figure out the process and steps and


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    include them in your research. In a few years, you will win all the awards in the medical field."


    Owen said, "I haven''t thought of that. Besides, these are not my achievements."


    Natalie shook her head. "You''re too honest."


    Owen said solemnly, "These are your achievements. If there are awards, you should get them, not me."


    He grew up with a strict upbringing, and he was an upright man.


    When Natalie saw that he was serious, she didn''t say anything else.


    ...


    Kendrick received an injection of GM-1 at three o''clock in the morning.


    He woke up at eight o''clock.


    The wound still hurt.


    But he felt an inexpressible lightness.


    His body was not heavy and weak like before.


    Especially his back.


    He felt a sharp pain there.


    Kendrick lowered his eyes slightly and saw a small head beside his hand.


    Natalie had nned to sleep on the sofa.


    But she was too sleepy.


    She fell asleep while she sat by the bed.


    In her daze, she felt a hand stroking her head.


    The hand was gentle.


    Following that, it moved to her cheek.


    Natalie opened her eyes.


    She found that Kendrick had woken up.


    Natalie sat up and rubbed her bleary eyes, staring at him nkly. "Are you awake?"


    "I''ve just woken up."


    Kendrick''s voice was dry and hoarse, but he was articte.


    Natalie sat by his bed and put his hand on her face, feeling the warmth of his palm. She stifled the


    mixture ofplicated feelings and said, "Dr. Gentry said the surgery was sessful. It''s


    unprecedented. After taking rehabilitation training, you can stand up."


    Kendrick nodded and looked at her with gentle eyes.


    The medication had distorted his vision.


    Besides, he had just woken up, so he couldn''t see clearly.


    Although he could only see the figure of Natalie, he sensed her fatigue from her voice.


    In addition, her face seemed thinner.


    Kendrick touched her face and found it angr.


    He said hoarsely, "Go take a rest."


    "Okay."


    Although Natalie agreed, she didn''t have the slightest intention to rest.


    She asked Kendrick if he was thirsty and offered him water.


    Following that, she asked if he felt hungry and if he liked to have some food.


    In the end, she asked him about the pain in the wound and if he needed a painkiller.


    Kendrick felt a sharp pain in the wound.


    His nerves were aching all over.


    His back and legs seemed to be torn and regenerated.


    There were beads of sweat on his forehead.


    "I''ll ask Dr. Gentry toe."


    After Natalie spoke, she dashed out of the ward.


    After Kendrick sobered up, he received a series of consultations and checkups.


    Owen told him that the surgery was sessful.


    His impaired spinal cord had been repaired.


    The nervous tissues were growing fast.


    Although Kendrick winced at the pain in the wound, he forced a smile and said gratefully, "Thank you


    very much."


    Owen lowered his eyes.


    He felt unworthy of Kendrick''s gratitude.


    Owen nced at Natalie and found her face pale. There was something wrong with her. He frowned


    and said, "I''ll prescribe you some painkillers. Mrs. Ramsey, please go to the first floor for the medicine."


    "Okay. Please give me the prescription."


    Owen went back to his office and poured a ss of water for Natalie. "Stay here and take a rest. I''ll


    have the medicine fetched."


    He shook his head and continued, "Go back to have a rest. Everything is fine here."


    Natalie didn''t say a word.


    She was very busy these days. The loss of the bracelet added fuel to the me, so she looked more


    haggard and paler than before and seemed to be carried away by the wind at any time.


    Owen could do nothing about her. When he saw her pale face the next day, he brought this up with


    Kendrick tactfully since he couldn''t persuade Natalie.


    Owen said that Natalie didn''t sleep much these days. She would break down if she didn''t take a good


    rest.


    Kendrick could sit up now. He leaned against the pillow with a frown and said solemnly, "Okay. I''ll talk


    to her."


    ...


    Natalie was looking for the bracelet in the lounge.


    The bracelet was nowhere to be seen.


    She stood there and felt the urge to cut open the sofas.


    Her phone rang.


    It was Kendrick. He asked where she was.


    Natalie quickly returned to the ward.


    It was time for Kendrick to take medicines. After feeding him two pills, Natalie felt ambivalent and


    wondered if she should tell him the truth.


    "Nat," Kendrick said seriously all of a sudden.


    Natalie looked up at his face, and her nerve that was on the edge suddenly broke down.


    Did he find that out?


    So he was going to question her?


    "I have something to tell you."


    Natalie interrupted Kendrick.


    He subconsciously stopped and waited for her to speak.


    Natalie put the ss aside and scratched her head, saying with difficulty, "I..." She raised her hand and


    said in a sobbed voice, "I lost the bracelet you gave me."


    After that, she couldn''t say anything else.


    She lowered her head and didn''t dare to look at him.


    Kendrick felt his chest tightened.


    The bracelet had a significant meaning. It was the first present of love that he gave Natalie.


    He froze for a long while.


    After that, he found his voice. "Did you lose it at the hospital?"


    Natalie nodded.


    She took off the bracelet before the surgery, lest the metallic ornament would affect the uracy of the


    medical instruments. However...


    "I''m sorry." Natalie shed tears and apologized, "I''m sorry, but I couldn''t find it anywhere."


    She thought Kendrick must be angry.


    Why didn''t he say a word?


    What should she do?


    Thinking of this, Natalie cried harder, and tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Come on. Don''t cry." Kendrick sighed softly and pulled her into his arms. He closed his eyes and


    exhaled heavily, saying, "It''s all swings and roundabouts."


    He soothed Natalie, and heforted himself too.

    Chapter 144 She Cried Hard


    Brock took three days off.


    He worked out, cooked, and yed games at home.


    He enjoyed the happy life of a single man.


    When Brock received a message from Kendrick, he was ying a game on another cell phone.


    Without hesitation, he quickly left a message in the game. "My mother asks me to have dinner now.


    Don''t be angry with me."


    Brock picked up his phone and read the message in confusion.


    Come to the hospital and check the surveince.


    What did Kendrick mean? Brock was at a loss, as if his boss had tossed him a nk form and asked


    him to fill it in.


    But could he say no?


    Brock texted back, "I''ll be right there."


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Kendrick gave Brock a call soon afterward.


    After the surgery, Kendrick was weak in his healing period. "Natalie lost her bracelet at the hospital.


    She''s unstable and moody, and she can''t answer my questions. You have to find the bracelet for her."


    Although Kendrick was sick, he sounded overbearing.


    Brock quickly changed his clothes and went out.


    He was going to take on a mission that sounded impossible to aplish.


    ...


    After Natalie went back home, she took a shower andy in bed, falling asleep quickly.


    She didn''t sleep well, and various thoughts came across her mind.


    In her dream, Kendrick asked her when and where she lost the bracelet, and she fumbled helplessly for


    words.


    However, Kendrick took out the bracelet and showed it to her.


    Natalie reached out to take the bracelet, but he held her hand and said, "I won''t give it to you if you


    don''t tell the truth."


    Natalie said something, but Kendrick gripped her chin and said she was a liar.


    She hastily exined, but he disappeared.


    Natalie saw the woman that she met the other day.


    The woman smiled at her faintly as if talking to her, but Natalie couldn''t catch what she was saying.


    Her dreams mixed with reality.


    Natalie couldn''t tell what was real and what was illusionary.


    She woke up in the morning the next day.


    Her phone vibrated.


    Someone sent her a text message.


    She looked at her phone. It was Saul.


    It was not surprising that a schoolmate of the host had her contact information.


    Saul said that it was a security guard who turned off the light and locked the door. The security guard


    was a deaf-mute. When he learned that no one was in the bathroom, he turned off the light and locked


    the door without knowing that the air-conditioning was on.


    The Ramsey Group offered jobs for vulnerable members of society to enhance its social influence.


    Only then Natalie remembered that she hadn''t taken revenge.


    "Do you know who you offended?"


    Saul asked wryly in the end.


    Natalie closed her eyes and thought carefully. She came up with a list of those who might hold grudges


    against her and narrowed down the scope. Following that, she asked Mr. Levy to give her the


    information about the staff members who were present at the live streaming that night.


    In the end, she identified the female colleague who sorted out the materials with her.


    It was Molly Baird, who was in charge of managing the live streamers.


    Molly was a good friend of Nomi, who was reced by Natalie.


    If Natalie remembered it correctly, Nomi was Melvin''s mistress who got out of his car that day.


    Very good.


    Hatred of her enemies, for old and new wrong, welled up in her heart.


    Natalie decided to teach them a good lesson.


    ...


    In the morning, Kendrick took a response test on his legs.


    He could bend his knees and stretch them without difficulties.


    His legs got much stronger.


    As his wound hadn''t been healed, he couldn''t take the movement ability test.


    However, the results were far better than expected.


    After Owen did the tests on Kendrick and wrote an evaluation report, he said he would go to the airport


    to see someone off in the afternoon.


    "Is it a friend of yours?" Kendrick unusually asked.


    Owen answered, "It''s my mother."


    Kendrick still remembered her name.


    Brynn Quinn.


    She was Hamgradish, but there was no record or information about her in Hamgrad.


    She was mysterious.


    Kendrick didn''t ask more questions and went back to rest in his ward. His wound still hurt a lot.


    However, it seemed insignificantpared with the torments in the past.


    Kendrick picked up a ss of water.


    Brock knocked on the door and entered the room.


    Brock spent all night sorting out the surveince and printed all the useful photos before he came to the


    ward to see Kendrick. "Mrs. Ramsey was wearing the bracelet before your surgery, but it was missing


    after that. I guess she lost it during the surgery."


    Kendrick was drinking water. When he heard that, he tightened the grip on the ss and snorted coldly,


    saying in a hoarse voice, "So this is the conclusion you drew after spending all night on the


    investigation?"


    Did Brock really stay in the CIA for ten years? Should he send Brock back to receive training?


    The sarcastic words were on the tip of Kendrick''s tongue, but he swallowed them because it was


    exhausting to speak, which would also hurt his wound.


    After being scolded, Brock admired Kendrick for being overbearing after the surgery.


    "Here are the screenshots." Brock handed Kendrick the stack of pictures. "I can''t find Mrs. Ramsey in


    the surveince cameras during your surgery."


    Brock had a difficult timest night.


    As he looked at the surveince cameras, he felt something was wrong.


    Kendrick took the screenshots and looked at them carefully.


    Indeed, Natalie was not seen in the screenshots of the surveince camera outside the operating room.


    Where did she go?


    Seeing that Kendrick frowned in confusion, Brock tried to help him out. "I guess Mrs. Ramsey was so


    worried that she went to a quiet ce and hid."


    He gave a usible exnation, "When my grandma had a heart bypass surgery, I was so nervous


    that I found a quiet corner to stay."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    The pain was so intense that he could hardly say anything, so he ignored Brock''s foolish guess.


    Kendrick looked at the screenshots again.


    He saw a picture outside his ward.


    Natalie pressed her hand on the wall, bending slightly.


    It was one o''clock in the morning.


    It was three hours after the end of his surgery.


    It was the first time she had appeared in the surveince camera.


    Her left wrist was empty.


    Brock was right. Natalie lost her bracelet during the surgery.


    Why did Natalie look sick?


    Did she feel unwell?


    Kendrick frowned.


    Looking at Kendrick''s knitted brows, Brock mustered up his courage and asked, "Why don''t you ask


    Mrs. Ramsey?"


    After all, Kendrick was a top-notch interrogator.


    He was as good as a court prosecutor.


    If Kendrick asked Natalie more questions, he would soon find some clues.


    Kendrick winced at the pain in the wound and gasped. He breathed slowly to calm down before he


    said, "She cried hard."


    When Natalie cried, his heart ached.


    At that time, Natalie turned pale and frightened. She lowered her tearful face and didn''t dare to look at


    Kendrick, thinking he would me her. However, Kendrick thought her health was more important than


    the bracelet.


    All his irritation was stifled by his concern for Natalie. He soothed her and suppressed the other


    negative feelings, which he saved to torture Brock.


    Brock understood it now.


    He touched his face and tried to force up a crying expression.


    No matter how hard he tried, he looked funny.


    "This is all you have?" Kendrick tapped on the file and asked.


    Brock had taken a few days off.


    But his efficiency and capability dropped like a stone.


    Kendrick thought he should keep Brock working nonstop.


    "This is what we can see from the surveince cameras." Brock said honestly, "As for the other


    aspects, the hospital said it was about privacy."


    Kendrick said disdainfully, "What privacy do they have since they have the surveince cameras here?"


    He endured the pain and asked, "Don''t you have any other way?"


    Brock pressed his lips and said awkwardly, "Yes, but it will take a while."


    Kendrick raised his hand and beckoned him to hurry up.


    After Brock left, it got quiet in the ward.


    Previously, Kendrick was tortured by the pain and couldn''t think clearly. His brain didn''t function well.


    But now he had a clear mind.


    He thought the whole thing was fishy and weird.


    As for the bracelet, it disappeared strangely.


    Kendrick pressed his lips.


    He thought carefully about the surgery.


    The surgery was performed by Owen and Dr. Morse, who was invited by Owen. Dr. Morse came from


    Cruxham, and he left after the surgery.


    There were two medical assistants, a nurse, and an anesthetist.


    However, before Kendrick fell into aa, he saw that the doctor in front of him was not Owen.


    The doctor was a woman that was much shorter and thinner than Owen.


    She asked the anesthetist to give him one more injection of anesthetic.


    Following that, she pped his face to see if the anesthetic worked.


    She even took off the bracelet on her wrist.


    The bracelet was exactly the same as the one he gave Natalie.


    Kendrick thought it might be an illusion under the effect of the anesthetic.


    Or he was so upset with the loss of the bracelet that he had a wild imagination.


    If it was not an illusion, who was the woman doctor?

    Natalie honored her promise.


    She taught Nomi and her friends a lesson.


    When Nomi was live-streaming, someone poured a bucket of iced water over her head.


    There were ice cubes in the water.


    The audience in the live stream was shocked.


    When the audience stared at the screen dumbfounded, another bucket of cold water mixed with lots of


    ice cubes poured over Nomi again.


    The audience thought it was a gimmick that Nomi brought forward to make fame, so they made real-


    timements and asked her to do it again. Some of them even gave Nomi generous tips.


    The number of audiences in the live stream reached a new height.


    However, the live stream soon got disrupted.


    Someone grabbed Nomi by the hair and flung her to the ground.


    A pair of ts appeared before Nomi''s eyes.


    Natalie looked down at Nomi and said, "It was me who decided to get you out of our live stream. I didn''t


    n to cooperate with you after that, but you had the nerve to offend me..." She tilted her face and said


    coldly, "Don''t ever think of being a live streamer again."


    Nomi struggled to get up and beckoned her assistant to call the police.


    Natalie smiled and said, "Do you want to call the police? I did that for you already."


    As expected, two cops arrived after a while and said someone reported that Nomi was suspected of tax


    fraud.


    Nomi was soon taken away.


    Natalie went to make a statement with the police.


    The cop in charge of the case was polite to Natalie. After she made the statement, he said, "You can


    leave now. Your friend is waiting for you outside."


    Natalie was puzzled. Who was the friend?


    She looked back.


    Saul was standing behind her.


    Previously, he asked Natalie how to deal with the pranksters.


    Natalie said she would give them a lesson and teach them the correct behaviors.


    To Saul''s surprise, Natalie asked her men to pour several buckets of cold water over Nomi in the live


    stream.


    She even brought Nomi to the police station.


    "Let''s go." Saul said, "It''s okay now."


    "Of course, it''s okay." Natalie said in surprise, "Why are you here?"


    "After I learned that you went to the police station, I got worried about you."


    Natalie said, "I called the police and told them Nomi hadmitted tax fraud."


    Saul was speechless.


    He was silent for a while, racking his brain to find a topic. In the end, he said, "There will be an Orionid


    meteor shower tonight. Would you like to go stargazing together?"


    Natalie looked indifferent.


    Saul frowned.


    Natalie didn''t show special interest in it.


    One year ago, the astronomy club watched the Cassiopeia meteor shower together, and they said they


    would observe the Orionid meteor shower in one year.


    Natalie noticed his disappointment and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "You don''t seem interested in it."


    Natalie said casually, "I have something else to do tonight."


    "Orionid meteor shower is once in a century. If you make a wish at the meteors, it wille true."


    Natalie nced at him in surprise. "Didn''t you learn science before?" She continued, "Meteors are just


    light traces produced by electron transitions of cosmic dust when it passes through the Earth''s


    atmosphere at a high speed. They are not different from dust."


    She asked in bewilderment, "Will you make a wish at the dust?"


    Saul was speechless.


    He felt helpless.


    He thought Natalie had changed a lot.


    Natalie looked at Saul''s face and felt her words were too blunt. She tried to make it up to him. "But you


    can give it a try. Maybe your wish wille true."


    "Would you..."


    "I gotta go." Natalie said, "I''ll treat you to coffee next time."


    ...


    When Natalie learned that there would be an Orionid meteor shower at night, she got excited.


    Wasn''t it romantic to go stargazing with the man she loved?


    The meteor shower would begin at eight o''clock.


    Natalie went back home to fetch a telescope before going to the hospital.


    Kendrick was wheeled out by the carer for fresh air today.


    When he came back, he saw Natalieing with excitement.


    Didn''t he ask her to go home to rest?


    Why did shee again?


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Natalie took the telescope out of her bag as if it was a treasure. "There will be an Orionid meteor


    shower tonight. It''s once in a century."


    Therefore, she had toe and watch it with Kendrick.


    The carer suggested out of kindness, "Mr. Ramsey..."


    He intended to say Kendrick needed to stay in bed and take a rest.


    Kendrick raised his hand and interrupted the carer, beckoning him not to continue.


    "When will it start?" asked Kendrick.


    "At eight o''clock."


    Kendrick nodded in agreement.


    The sky was clear tonight. The constetions in the night sky could be seen at hightitudes in the


    northern hemisphere.


    Kendrick and Natalie sat on the balcony and gazed at the sky, wrapped in the same nket.


    Natalie didn''t know much about astronomy. She didn''t have the time or mood to gaze at the stars in the


    past. She just leaned against Kendrick''s shoulder and pointed at the night sky, asking him about the


    constetions.


    It was autumn in the northern hemisphere.


    Sirius was the brightest star in the sky.


    The stars of Orion were also vivid.


    At eight o''clock, a meteor shower shed across the night sky.


    Natalie heard clearly the screams from the hallway.


    She hastily said, "Make a wish at the meteors."


    Following that, she crossed her fingers and made a wish. She was not greedy.


    There were swings and roundabouts in life, and one couldn''t have everything going his own way.


    Natalie was willing to give up everything to make her wishe true.


    She leaned against Kendrick''s shoulder and saw the meteor disappearing with a long tail of light in the


    sky. It was a fleeting moment, but it was wonderful.


    Natalie suddenly thought of a song and sang softly.


    "I''ll watch with you the meteor shower falling on the Earth. If you wanna cry, cry on my shoulder. I want


    you to believe my love is only for you, and you will see where happiness lies."


    It was so romantic.


    "My love is only for you."


    As Natalie sang, she blinked at Kendrick.


    She wondered if he sensed her love.


    Kendrick asked in confusion, "Why should I cry?"


    Natalie was speechless.


    It took her a while to calm down. She exhaled deeply and said without a smile, "That''s not the point."


    Kendrick chuckled softly. Although he felt a sharp pain in the wound when he sat up, he endured it and


    said, "I believe you."


    Natalie held his hand and said, "I made a wish. I''m not greedy, so it wille true."


    "What a coincidence. I made a wish too."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick curiously. "Did we make the same wish?" She quickly said, "No, don''t tell


    me, or it won''te true."


    Kendrick smiled without saying a word.


    He had made a wish about her.


    He didn''t value anything but her.


    A breeze was up.


    The two of them leaned against each other, and their shadows ovepped.


    ...


    It was one week after the surgery.


    Kendrick''s wound almost healed.


    After taking another injection of GM-1, his nervous tissues grew fast, and he felt the increasing strength


    in his lower part.


    He stayed in the rehabilitation center alone and took training in the daytime.


    The rehabilitation physician held Kendrick''s back and helped him up, asking him to put his hands on


    the swing rings and exercise his legs.


    When Kendrick''s feet touched the ground, they were not limp and floating as before.


    He seemed to feel the gravity.


    Kendrick could sense the existence of the ground.


    His back seemed to support his weight.


    Thinking of this, Kendrick beckoned the physician to let go.


    The physician hesitated. "It''d be safe if I support you."


    "Let me give it a try."


    The rehabilitation physician quickly dragged a soft mat over, lest there would be an ident.


    After the physical let go of him, Kendrick gripped the swinging rings hard and put his feet on the


    ground, steadying himself.


    He stood for several seconds.


    He soon sensed the piercing pain in his legs.


    Sweats broke out on his forehead.


    Kendrick breathed heavily.


    The physician looked at him in disbelief. "Mr. Ramsey, did you stand up just now?"


    Kendrick ordered, "Support me."


    The physician quickly helped him up.


    Kendrick endured the great pain and sat back in the wheelchair. He beckoned the physician to lower


    the swinging rings and clutched at them again. Gritting his teeth, he got up staggeringly from the


    wheelchair with the strength of his arms and back.


    This attempt exhausted his strength.


    He soon turned pale.


    The biting pain in his back and legs invaded his bones and spread all over his body. Kendrick held onto


    the swinging rings tightly. His fingers almost got disfigured, and his knuckles turned green and white.


    It hurt.


    Kendrick almost fainted in the pain.


    However, it could be seen that he could stand up on his own with the strength of his back.


    Although he couldn''t walk, he had made unprecedented progress.


    Brock came to report on his work. He saw Kendrick stand up from the wheelchair with the help of the


    swinging rings and steady himself.


    Kendrick stood for only a few seconds, but Brock was overjoyed.


    His mind went nk. When he came back to his sense, he dashed up to Kendrick and caught his


    falling body.


    "You... You..."


    Brock opened his mouth wide. He was too excited to say anything.


    The rehabilitation physician wanted to say something, but Kendrick gave him a warning look.


    "Keep it a secret."

    Chapter 146 My Lower Part Has Regained Consciousness


    Chapter 146 My Lower Part Has Regained Consciousness


    Brock got Kendrick''s intention quickly and made a zipping gesture near his mouth.


    He took a towel and wiped Kendrick''s sweat.


    After he calmed down, Brock stammered, "Mr. Ramsey, I saw you stand up just now."


    Afraid that he would be heard, Brock whispered softly.


    Kendrick took a deep breath and shook his head. "I can only stand for a short while."


    He could now stand up with the strength of his back, but it would take him a long while to walk and run


    like a normal man.


    He was not sure if he could do that.


    Brock touched his head and said, "It seems your surgery was sessful. Dr. Gentry is indeed a genius


    in his field."


    Kendrick was silent for a while before saying, "Have you got anything new?"


    Brock weighed his words and said, "I checked all the surveince cameras, but I couldn''t find Mrs.


    Ramsey in any of them. The surveince cameras at the exits of the hospital didn''t show she left the


    hospital. I think she was in the hospital during your surgery."


    Brock said inwardly, "Mr. Ramsey, why don''t you ask her directly where she was during that period?"


    Kendrick rubbed his forehead in frustration.


    If he couldn''t find the bracelet...


    He pondered for a while and said, "Contact Mr. Ferman and ask if he can make an identical bracelet."


    Brock asked, "Shall I continue the search for the bracelet?"


    "After you sort out the surveince, give it to me."


    "I got it."


    Kendrick added, "Give me the list of the medical staff who attended my surgery along with their detailed


    information."


    Brock couldn''t help saying, "Would you like to express your gratitude to them?"


    He thought Kendrick had a warm heart even though he looked aloof.


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He nodded.


    After Kendrick spoke, his wound started to hurt again. He leaned in the wheelchair, too weak to say


    anything.


    Kendrick nced at the ss door, at which a figure waved at him.


    Natalie seemed to be shut out of the door.


    Kendrick instructed Brock, "Go open the door for her."


    Brock quickly went to open the door. When he saw Natalie, he exined, "The ess control system


    has been upgraded, and you need to validate your face again. I''ll help you with thatter."


    It dawned on Natalie. "No wonder the system couldn''t recognize my face."


    After she spoke, Natalie went past Brock and ran toward Kendrick, squatting down and asking, "Did


    you start training so early?"


    She didn''t see Kendrick in the ward just now. She asked the carer and learned that Kendrick went to


    the rehabilitation center.


    "My wound is healing." Kendrick forced a smile. "Ie here to have some exercise."


    Natalie asked tentatively, "Do you feel better?"


    Theoretically, Kendrick''s back and legs would grow much stronger than before even if he couldn''t stand


    up for the moment.


    "I feel much better." Kendrick made aparison and said, "My lower part has regained


    consciousness."


    He didn''t feel numb as often as before.


    Natalie made a calction.


    The dosage of GM-1 could onlyst for four weeks.


    The best result of the first course of treatment was that Kendrick could stand up.


    If he failed to do that, he would need another stem cell transntation surgery.


    The current problem was that the production of GM-1 was unstable, and it was difficult to import it.


    Natalie wondered if she could find a recement medicine.


    She pondered carefully with a deep frown.


    "What are you thinking?" A hand caressed her face.


    Natalie was caught off guard. Kendrick saw the troubled look on her face.


    "Nothing." Natalie forced a smile and said, "Let''s go. I''ve brought you dinner."


    ...


    Natalie made the dinner tonight.


    There was shrimp, beef, spinach, and carrot.


    And a bowl of mild sparerib soup.


    On the vegetarian spaghetti, there was a heart-shaped egg.


    Kendrick was sore all over after the training, and his hands had no strength left.


    Therefore, Natalie fed him.


    She looked solemn. Perhaps she was tired, or she was thinking of Kendrick''s recovery n.


    Natalie forked a sparerib and moved it to Kendrick''s mouth. "Eat some meat."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He held Natalie''s hand and put the fork back in the soup, bringing her back to the present. "It will take a


    while to recover. Take it easy. I think I can stand up."


    "How about making a bet?" Kendrick looked into Natalie''s eyes. "Let''s bet if I can stand up steadily


    without external support within a month. I''ll win if I can do that."


    Standing steadily without external support?


    It was difficult to do that.


    Natalie knew he was strict with himself, but he shouldn''t bet on his health.


    She said with concern, "It''s too hard. You''ll win if you can stand up."


    Kendrick raised his eyebrow and said, "What reward will I have if I can do that?"


    Natalie suddenly recalled that she used to say they would have a baby after his legs got better.


    She lowered her eyes and bit her lip. After thinking for a while, she said, "You can have whatever you


    like."


    Kendrick squinted and gave a faint smile.


    ...


    At night, Natalie wouldn''t sleep in the same bed with Kendrick.


    His wound was still in recovery.


    If he was not careful, the wound would be ripped open.


    Natalie went to sleep on the sofa to avoid all the possible dangers.


    She felt a mixture of grief and joy these days.


    When she saw Kendrick get better today, she felt relieved.


    Once shey on the sofa, she fell fast asleep.


    The room was warm with the heating on.


    Natalie''s nket was too thick, and she felt hot during the night. In her dreamy state, she seemed to


    hear Kendrick talking.


    Was he feeling unwell?


    Natalie was wide awake at the thought.


    No.


    Kendrick seemed to be talking on the phone.


    Natalie held her breath.


    She heard him talking in Fayman.


    It was about the bracelet.


    Kendrick was asking someone to make a bracelet exactly the same as the one she had lost by


    ident.


    Natalie felt a lump in her throat.


    Kendrickforted her that it was okay.


    However, the bracelet meant a lot to him.


    Natalie bit her index finger hard to stop herself from making a sobbing sound.


    ...


    The next day, Natalie went straight to thepany to work.


    The marketing strategy was sessful this time.


    They received deposits of 1.5 million on the twentieth of the month.


    It was estimated that the sales revenue of all the product lines of the brand could reach 15 million.


    After one o''clock in the afternoon, Natalie went to the cafeteria for lunch.


    She wanted to buy a bottle of milk, but it was sold out.


    Natalie sat in her seat, dejected.


    Someone sat across from her.


    Natalie looked up.


    She lowered her head again.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Saul put a bottle of milk in front of her and said, "Here you are."


    "Thank you."


    "You look listless. Are you busytely?"


    "I''m in a bad mood."


    Natalie indicated that he should leave her alone.


    "Your stars say you are in mercury retrograde and will encounter various problems. For instance, you


    got locked up in the bathroom. Besides, you will lose something important." Saul said, "You need to be


    careful."


    At first, Natalie was annoyed by him. When she heard what he said, she widened her eyes. "Please tell


    me more."


    "After I went backst time, I read your stars, which told me about this."


    "Do you know astrology?" Natalie was intrigued. "I did lose something important. It''s a bracelet." She


    leaned forward and said, "Can you tell me where it is?"

 Chapter 147 The Bracelet Is Found

    Chapter 147 The BraceletIsFound


    Chapter 147 The Bracelet Is Found


    Saul hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Okay!"


    He asked Natalie when and where she lost her bracelet and when shest saw it. And ask her to


    describe the bracelet in detail.


    "I lost it in the lounge next to the operating room." Natalie recalled, "When I was going to put it on, I


    suddenly fainted. After I woke up, the bracelet had gone missing. The lounge was connected to the


    operating room without any passageway to outside. There are multiple entrance guards. I checked the


    surveince video recorded outside the operating room and found that no one entered the room that


    day except the surgeon staff."


    At that time, Owen had been the first to discover Natalie.


    The rest of the people had gone to take care of Kendrick and had no time to look after her.


    After hearing her out, Saul opened the astrbe and began to analyze.


    Twenty minutester, he said, "It''s still in the ce."


    "What do you mean?"


    "The bracelet is still in the lounge," Saul exined.


    Natalie curled her lips and said, shaking her head. "Are you sure? I''ve searched for it several times.


    There''s no trace of it."


    Saul said confidently, "You will find it if you search more thoroughly."


    The expression on Natalie''s face was skeptical.


    "Don''t you believe me?" Aplex look shed across Saul''s eyes. His astrology was not falsification,


    and he could truly make predictions and divination.


    He rarely did astrology for others.


    "I don¡¯t mean that." Natalieforted him after seeing his sad look, "I''ll go and look for it again


    tonight."


    "Good!" Saul smiled.


    "Thank you for the milk," Natalie said politely.


    He smiled again and said, "Good luck to you."


    ...


    During the day, Kendrick had been carefully reading the information of the medical staff offered by


    Brock.


    It recorded all of the medical staff members that came into contact with Kendrick these days. They


    were responsible for different affairs separately.


    The names of medical staff on duty in the operating room that day were also listed. Kendrick carefully


    checked it.


    From both their heights and temperament, they were not the person Kendrick had seen before he lost


    consciousness.


    Moreover, none of them wore bracelets. Even though there was one person wearing jewelry, it was a


    jade bracelet.


    After a while, Kendrick felt a severe pain in his waist. Perhaps he hurt his wound yesterday. He had to


    stop checking the list andy down.


    After a moment, the door was pushed open. Natalie came from work and brought dinner for him.


    "You don''t need toe tomorrow." Kendrick said, "I''ll leave the hospital tomorrow."


    "Aren¡¯t you going to stay a few more days?"


    "I have too many things to deal with."


    Natalie saw the pile of documents spread out on his bed and then tidied them up. She saw the


    information of the medical staff members.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    "These are the nurses and doctors that have been taking care of me." Kendrick said, "I will ask Rose to


    prepare gifts for them."


    The medical staff had been taking care of him with due diligence. Now his condition became much


    better. Natalie felt moved but bitter. She had been very diligent and wanted a gift too.


    But she had lost the important bracelet that Kendrick gave her.


    She felt too embarrassed to ask for a gift. Sitting next to him, she pursed her lips and then said, "You


    can give Valery a boyfriend, a sexy man with eight-pack abs and long legs."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie felt something was wrong.


    Because Kendrick was squinting at her. "I understand your previous description, but what does ''a sexy


    man with eight-pack abs and long legs'' mean?" He said lightly, raising his eyebrows slightly.


    The description was what Valery had said. Natalie had just reported her words.


    Hearing his question, Natalie bit her lip and exined, "Just..."


    It was not easy for her to exin.


    Natalie picked up her phone and showed the chat record to Kendrick. Valery sent a photo of a male


    model that was her favorite type.


    "Like...this."


    She felt Kendrick''s unfriendly gaze, and her voice had quieted down. Sure enough, her face then got


    squeezed by Kendrick¡¯s hand.


    Natalie¡¯s lips pouted and she said, "Valery said it. It has nothing to do with me."


    Kendrick let go of her face and asked after a pause, "Is that what you like?"


    Natalie quickly shook her head. "I didn''t even nce at it."


    She turned around and kissed his face, whispering, "I like you."


    "An aloof man," She added in a low voice,


    If it weren''t for the injury in the waist, Kendrick would definitely do something to her.


    ...


    Natalie came tonight not only to take care of Kendrick, but had asked Owen for the ess card and


    wanted to enter the operating room again.


    If she could not find her bracelet this time, she could only ept it.


    During the day, there were too many people and too many eyes.


    So at 3 a.m., Natalie quietly got up and went to the operating room.


    As for Kendrick, he had such a tearing pain in the waist all day that even painkillers couldn''t relieve the


    pain.


    At night, he was sleeping lightly and had woken up the moment Natalie got up.


    He saw her leave the ward in the moonlight, wondering, "Where is she goingte at night?"


    Two hourster, she came back again.


    Natalie tiptoed back onto the sofa and let out a long sigh, thinking, "Where on earth is it?"


    She turned over and continued to sleep. It looked as if she had gone on a sleepwalk.


    ...


    Natalie walked straight from the ward to the outside of the operating room, not hiding herself.


    When Brock who was on guard, saw her, he was very puzzled and wondered, "What is Mrs. Ramsey


    going to do in the operating room?"


    He reported it to Kendrick.


    "Is there a monitor in the operating room?" Asked Kendrick.


    "There is no monitor in the room, but there is one at the ess control."


    "Get me the surveince video." Kendrick said, "From the beginning of my surgery to the


    present hour."


    Brock left for a long time. He had seen the video before and did not find anything strange.


    Kendrick roughly browsed through the video and paused the video at one moment.


    He raised his expressionless face and asked Brock to lock down the floor immediately.

 Chapter 148 He Has Discovered It

    Chapter 148 He Has Discovered It


    Chapter 148 He Has Discovered It


    Brock stared at Kendrick''s face, afraid to blink, feeling that he would be fired the next second.


    Kendrick, his boss, hired him to solve problems, but now his boss had solved the problem in person.


    Brock thought, "What''s the use of me?"


    Brock had looked for this bracelet day and night. To his surprise, it was inside the woodenyer of the


    sofa.


    "Why is the ne inside it? "Brock asked a question that everyone was curious about.


    Kendrick squinted at him. His expression looked as if he was asking him, "Are you an idiot? Why do


    you think I know the answer?"


    Brock did not dare to say anything more.


    Brock observed the structure of the sofa and gave a reasonable exnation. "I think the bracelet fell


    into the gap of the sofa first, slid into this hole, and finally went into theyer. If you groped it with your


    hands, you wouldn''t find it."


    So, first of all, why did the bracelet fall into the sofa?


    "The first exnation, Mrs. Ramsey took off the bracelet and it identally fell into the sofa. The


    second one, someone stole Mrs. Ramsey''s bracelet and hid it." Brock analyzed it seriously and said, "I


    think the second one is more possible."


    Kendrick had been sitting for a long time and felt the pain in his wound. He rubbed between his brows


    and said irritably and impatiently, "Who dares to steal her bracelet and even hide it in the sofa in the


    rest area? Is he crazy?!"


    Brock asked, "Do you agree with the first one? Mr. Ramsey." He rubbed his head and said in confusion,


    "But what did Mrs. Ramseye here for?"


    Then something came to his mind.


    Last night when he was on guard, he saw Natalie go into the operating room with the entrance card.


    Kendrick held the bracelet in his hand and scolded in pain, "I gave you three days off. Is your mind still


    on vacation now? If you ask me again, pack up your things and get out of here immediately."


    Kendrick took a breath and pointed to the surveince picture on theputer, asking, "Who do you


    think this person is like?"


    Brock looked carefully and finally shook his head, "I can''t tell."


    Kendrick was breathing more heavily.


    The pain in his waist overwhelmed him, and he did not have any strength to scold Brock.


    Brock quickly noticed it and immediately said, "I''ll get the doctor."


    ...


    Natalie was cleaning and decorating at home.


    "Move the flowers to the left a bit. That''s nice. It looks great," She was thinking, squeezing her jaw. "It''s


    empty here. Should I put a painting here?"


    Because Kendrick was leaving the hospital tomorrow, the house had been cleaned and redecorated.


    The dominant tone had been changed into a warm tone which could help to lift his mood.


    Ashlynn took a bottle of ribbon and handed it to Natalie, saying hesitantly, "Do you really want to use it?


    Isn''t it too strange?"


    Ashlynn couldn''t imagine the scene when the cold Kendrick was covered with colorful ribbons.


    Natalie shook the bottle and said, "Of course I do. It''s so festive."


    Ashlynn was a bit scared. She looked at Natalie and begged, "Can... you tell Mr. Ramsey I''m ignorant."


    Ashlynn thought, "Please don''t tell him I bought the ribbon."


    Natalieughed loudly. "Don''t worry, I''m sure Ken will not be angry. By the way, when I spray ribbons


    on him, I need you to record a short video."


    Ashlynn stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes, looking as if she was about to faint.


    She thought helplessly, "I am just an ordinary worker. Why do I have toplete such aplex and


    dangerous task?"


    Natalie imagined the scene. She was very excited now and could not wait to see it!


    Her phone suddenly rang. Natalie was surprised that Brock was calling. She picked it up. "What''s up?"


    "Mr. Ramsey suddenly has lumbar difort, but we can''t get in contact with Dr. Gentry. This is


    urgent. Can you find a way to contact Dr. Gentry?"


    "I''ll try to contact him." She then asked, "What''s wrong with his lumbar?"


    "The doctor found that there was neuroinmmation caused by a misaligned cogen stent."


    The cogen stent was made of nanomaterials and generally, it wouldn''t be misaligned after it was


    ced.


    "What did Kendrick do? How did he make it misaligned? Was he being careless while doing recovery


    training?" Natalie began to think irritably.


    She immediately called Owen and asked him to perform the repair surgery.


    But strangely, Owen did not answer the phone.


    Natalie recalled, "Yesterday or the day before that day, Owen said he was going to the airport to see


    his friend back home. We talked a bit and then I asked for his ess card. Since then, we haven''t


    contacted each other. Where has Owen gone?"


    Without stopping to think, Natalie asked Ashlynn to tidy up the house and she drove to the hospital.


    She received a call from Owen in the parking lot.


    "Natalie, I am at the Exit and Entry Department. I have an ident and cannot make it back."


    "You do your business first." Natalie said calmly, "But I need you to call your assistant to tell him to


    follow my instructions."


    "Okay." Owen''s voice sounded tired and hoarse. He was in trouble indeed.


    But Natalie didn''t have time to think about that. She parked the car and ran to the hospital.


    The assistant told her that Kendrick needed surgery to repair the misaligned stent. But no one dared to


    perform the surgery except Dr. Gentry.


    Natalie closed her eyes, pursing her lips. Then she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Has Dr.


    Gentry asked you to follow my instructions?"


    The assistant nodded.


    "Wheel him into the operating room first," Natalie said decisively.


    Brock saw her and rushed over. "Have you contacted Dr. Gentry?"


    Natalieforted, "Don''t worry. Dr. Gentry is on his way here. Let''s take Kendrick into the operating


    room first." She reached out her hand. "Show me the CT scan."


    Brock immediately brought that to her.


    Natalie scanned it and spected that intense rehabilitation training had caused the stent to be


    misaligned.


    She suppressed her worry and said to Brock, "Don''t worry. It''s not a big problem." After that, she turned


    around and left.


    Brock asked, "Where are you going?"


    Natalie said, "Asking the doctor about his specific situation. Brock, I need you to go to the C area to


    bring over Kendrick''s blood test results."


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Okay."


    ...


    Natalie quickly changed into a medical uniform and opened the ess control of the operating room


    with Owen''s card.


    The assistant had prepared everything in advance ording to Owen''s instructions.


    Kendrick had been injected with an anesthetic and was now in aa.


    Without any hesitation, Natalie began performing the repair surgery.


    Fortunately, the cogen stent had not been moved much. The peripheral nerves around it had started


    to inme.


    Two hourster, the cogen stent was fixed.


    Natalie sewed up the incision on Kendrick''s waist and asked the assistant to clean up the medical


    waste.


    She straightened up and took off her goggles, feeling like her waist was about to break.


    She nced at Kendrick and thought, "He''s really a troublemaker. It must be because he didn''t train


    ording to the doctor''s advice, which caused the ident."


    She waved her hand above his face. If he were someone else, she would have cursed him already.


    Natalie saw his lips move, as if he was trying to speak.


    She was stunned for a moment and calcted that the anesthesia had worn off.


    She leaned over and put her ear to his lips to listen to him.


    But soon, her medical hat was lifted.


    Natalie raised her arm to grab her hat. At the same time, her mask was taken away.

    Chapter 149 She Gives Kendrick a p


    As they looked at each other, Natalie clearly saw theplex look shing across the man''s eyes.


    It was a surprised look mingled with the implication that I knew it had been you.


    Kendrick''s anesthetic had already worn away.


    During the stitching, he felt the stinging pain but still remained silent.


    Kendrick quickly let go of Natalie. Natalie put on her mask and medical cap in a hurry.


    Kendrick still fixed his eyes on her. He grabbed her wrist.


    Even though he was drugged, his strength was still strong.


    Neither of them spoke.


    Natalie''s mood wasplex, and she could clearly hear her heart thumping rhythmically.


    She was stunned that Kendrick had discovered her!


    Thinking of his behavior, Natalie believed that he had already discovered her. She wondered when she


    had made a mistake.


    In fact, the more a person tried to conceal, the more likely he would expose himself because she cared


    about Kendrick.


    For example, just now she tried to listen to what Kendrick was speaking but was cheated by him. Or


    perhaps he had been waiting for the moment.


    Natalie tried hard to suppress theplex feelings that surged up within her.


    After calming down, she suddenly raised her hand and pped Kendrick in the face. "Are you crazy?


    Do you know how dangerous it was just now? Do you want to be infected?"


    ...


    Owen was now under investigation by the Exit and Entry Department.


    Two days ago, he saw off Brynn at the airport.


    He had thought she would board a flight and leave Hamgrad to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas


    with his father.


    Butst night, he received a call from Exit and Entry Department and was asked for an investigation.


    Only then did he know that Brynn had been detained at the airport.


    The officials asked her to exin the purpose and destination of GM-1, otherwise she would not be


    allowed to leave the country.


    "I''ve told you many times. It''s for academic exchange," Brynn said impatiently to the official as she


    leaned back in her seat. "This is permitted by thew. And I have the approval documents. If you want


    to continue the interrogation and limit my personal freedom, I''ll tell you."


    She sneered, "I am a resident of Cruxham, and this will be a serious diplomatic issue."


    "Calm down. We just want to have a check. If we confirm that there are no problems, we will help you


    leave the country."


    Brynn assumed a proud posture with a pair of cold eyes. Anyway, she was going to stand up and leave


    right away.


    "Don''t challenge my patience." She said confidently, squinting her eyes slightly. "I repeat, you have no


    right to detain me."


    Quickly, the official said to her after taking a call, "You can leave now, but before leaving, you need to


    sign amitment letter."


    Brynn cursed silently, "What the darn rule."


    Brynn tried to hold her temper. After all, she was still in Hamgrad. She got up and followed the official to


    another room.


    She walked in alone and asked, "Where is themitment letter?"


    By the window, stood a tall man with a straight posture in a ck coat, exuding an extraordinary


    temperament.


    Upon hearing the voice, he turned his head.


    That was a face with age signs but was still handsome, deep, and mysterious. He had a broad


    forehead, looking like a great leader.


    Brynn raised her eyes and looked at him. Her expression froze on her face.


    ...


    Three hourster, Brynn safely left the country by ne. She was an important research schr in


    Cruxham and could not be detained for a long time.


    Owen was seeing her off at the airport.


    "I''m fine now," Brynn looked at her son''s worried face andforted him, patting his shoulder.


    Perhaps she was disturbed by this incident, and her face was extremely haggard without its usual


    elegance.


    Even her voice was hoarse and dry, and her eyes were a bit red, indicating that she had gone through


    violent mood swings.


    "That''s great," Owen muttered, "It''s all my fault."

    Brynn interrupted him, "Don''t me yourself," she said gently. "No mother would me her child."


    Over the years, she had beenmitted to ying the role of a good mother.


    Perhaps she was born calm and rational, so her emotions of love and hatred seemed to be slightly thin.


    "Mom!" Owen was moved.


    Brynn gave him a hug and patted his back with strength. "I''m going back to spend Thanksgiving with


    your father. When you have time, fly back home and I''ll roast potatoes, beef, and turkeys for you. Over


    the years, our family was rarely together."


    "Okay, I will go back when I finish my work here."


    "Well, goodbye."


    Brynn bid him farewell, and her figure receded at the boarding gate.


    Owen drove back from the airport but was told that the road had been closed because the President''s


    car was passing by. He had to take another road.


    For safety reasons, Owen immediately changed direction and returned to the hospital.


    On the way, he sent a message to Natalie, asking her how Kendrick was and if it was toote or not.


    He told her that he was heading back.


    ...


    When Natalie had stayed alone in the corner for a long time, she received a message from Owen.


    She replied, "He''s already fine."


    Then she heaved a long sigh and walked back into the ward. Brock was feeding Kendrick water


    clumsily but carefully.


    He put a ss of water at 160¨H to Kendrick''s lips and said, "Drink some water."


    Kendrick suppressed his rising anger and raised his eyebrows, questioning, "Can''t you feel it''s hot?"


    Brock had a pair of rough hands and certainly could not feel how hot the water was. He carefully blew


    on the water and put it on Kendrick''s lips again.


    Kendrick rolled his eyes. He didn''t know what he had done wrong and why he had to suffer such


    torment.


    He was lying on the bed. How could he drink the water?


    He waved to Brock to get out of the room quickly.


    "He only drinks warm water at 100 degrees," Natalie said as she walked in. "He can''t drink water when


    lying on the bed. Hand him a straw."


    Brock said happily as if he had seen a savior or an angel. "Mrs. Ramsey, you came just in time. I''ll


    leave this to you!" He fled away.


    If he stayed here, he was afraid he would be sent to Africa as a ve.


    Natalie poured a ss of water at around 100 degrees, added a straw, and put the ss to Kendrick''s


    lips.


    When their eyes met, both of them were silent.


    A while ago, Kendrick received a p, a heavy p.


    Now his cheeks still hurt!


    "If you wanna ask something, just ask." Seeing his dispirited face, Natalie sighed slightly and spoke


    first.


    Kendrick didn''t know how to start asking her. Although he had a general outline of the whole thing, he


    had a feeling of uncertainty when he had to face and ept it.


    "If you don''t want to ask me, Then I''ll ask you!" Natalie said calmly, "When did you discover me?"


    She guessed, "It was definitely not in the operating room. It must have been earlier than that.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have done such dangerous behavior with pain in her waist."

    Kendrick didn''t speak, raised himself, and leaned against the pillow, gesturing for her to open her palm.


    Natalie was puzzled and opened her hand.


    A delicate bracelet fell into her palm. Natalie was stunned. "You found it?!"


    Kendrick nodded and patiently put the bracelet on her slender wrist.


    "Where did you find it?" Natalie was surprised.


    "In the sofa in the rest area of the operating room."


    "I searched through that sofa but couldn''t find it."


    Kendrick gave her a deep nce and said calmly, "The bracelet fell into theyer at the bottom of the


    sofa. We took down the sofa and found it."


    Natalie was speechless, thinking, "I should have taken down the sofa."


    "Before the surgery that day, I saw you take off the bracelet from your hand." Kendrick said with a


    frown, "I was still conscious at that moment."


    Natalie thought, "He had seen me taking it off at that time, so with doubts he found the bracelet in the


    sofa in the operating room."


    "The bracelet can affect medical equipment, so I took it off." Natalie exined, "Perhaps it had slipped


    out when I was resting on the sofa."


    She didn''t say that the bracelet had slipped out when she put it back on. But her exnation was also


    reasonable and convincing.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows. "So, was that your plot?"


    "No!" Kendrick denied it and then pursed his lips. "When my anesthesia had worn off at the end of the


    surgery, I heard your voice." At that moment, Natalie was loudly and urgently instructing the assistant.


    Natalie''s frayed nerves rxed, and she believed that Kendrick was not lying to her and did not take


    his health lightly.


    She pursed her lips, lifted her chin, and breathed out slowly.


    She had wanted to tell him the truth when he was able to stand.


    But she didn''t expect him to discover it himself. Perhaps it was all the will of Heaven!


    "The surgeon who performed the surgery was you, right?" Kendrick began to ask her.


    Natalie nodded. It was she who cleared the scars, filled the material into the cogen scaffold,


    transnted stem cells, and even sewed up the cut on his waist.


    Although he had guessed right, seeing Natalie nod, he felt a bit at a loss.


    In addition to a shocked look, there wereplex emotions on his face.


    Many things that he couldn''t figure out now became aplete clue in his mind.


    "What about my acupuncture? Did you do it?"


    "I did your first two acupunctures. And Owen did theter ones."


    "So, Owen knows everything, doesn''t he?" Kendrick keenly captured the information.


    "Yes."


    "Did he teach you that?" Kendrick asked with uncertainty. He couldn''t figure out why she became


    proficient in medicine, the highly sophisticated neuro-medicine especially.


    Natalie smiled. "In this world, not only is Owen a genius, but also I am!" she said very confidently.


    Kendrick suddenly felt familiar but unfamiliar with her.


    He leaned against the pillow, lost in thought.


    He had received too much information in a short time, which was not within his familiar fields.


    Kendrick had countless questions in his mind, but as he gazed at her face, he couldn''t organize a


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    consciousness and strength, and he even once tried to stand.


    All of this was because of her.


    After calming down, Natalie said calmly and rationally, "Maybe you feel it''s uneptable now, or you


    may feel angry that I have deceived you. Let''s give each other some time. And you can think about


    whether you can understand this thing."


    Kendrick hated deception, and she knew that. If he could understand the deception, she would find a


    suitable time to tell him everything. If he could not, she did not need to do anything."


    Before a person loves another person, he or she must learn to protect himself or herself.


    "But!" Natalie''s expression became serious. "Your behavior in the operating room just now was very


    dangerous, which would likely cause wound infection andplications."


    Kendrick''s lips moved, and Natalie saw that he seemed to be speaking. But suddenly she couldn''t hear


    anything, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.


    She felt waves of dizziness and suffocation as if her heart was being seized by one hand.


    The final scene she saw was Kendrickzhen''s panicked expression.


    ...


    "She suffered from sudden tinnitus due to overwork." Owen had rushed back to the hospital just after


    Natalie fainted.


    "Help me out of bed!" Kendrick ordered, "I''m going to see her."


    "You just had a surgery." Owen refused, "You can''t move much." After a pause, he added, "If the stent


    is misaligned again, the recovery will be very difficult."


    "How is she?"


    "She''ll be fine. But she needs to rest, adjust her mood, and not be too emotional."


    Kendrick leaned against the pillow, unable to move with his painful waist.


    After a long silence, he asked, "It''s not the first time she''s been like this, has she?"


    Owen replied, "Because she was too worried about your surgery. Moreover, she hasn''t rested well for a


    long time, so she has not been welltely."


    Kendrick said directly, "But she confessed to me that it was she who did the surgery."


    Owen was speechless.


    Kendrick felt relieved. It felt great not to hide secrets.


    "Yes." Owen thought of something and his lips curved in a smile. "She has a high level of expertise in


    neuroscience. She is not only talented but also hardworking."


    Hearing him praise Natalie, Kendrick didn''t know how to react for a moment.


    "Do you two know each other very well?" Kendrick began to sound him out.


    Owen shook his head. "We met after I diagnosed you. Natalie and I talked about your recovery. At that


    time, I realized that she had a high level of expertise."


    Kendrick''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    "As for why Natalie is sophisticated in medicine," Owen candidly said, "I was curious at first. But you


    know, one cannot always outdo others. Besides, it''s not the most important thing."


    Owen carefully found that the answer was a secret that Natalie was unwilling to reveal.


    He solemnly said, "The most important thing at present is yourplete recovery."


    Upon hearing Owen''s magnanimous words, Kendrick looked at him in surprise with a sense of crisis,


    thinking, "It''s really dangerous to have such a man around Natalie, because they have manymon


    topics of the same field."


    Owen felt the unfriendly aura around Kendrick and said directly, "In the middle of next month, I will fly


    back to Cruxham and stay there for a period of time. I will follow up on your recovery online."


    Kendrick nodded. "Okay!"


    Owen had finished what he wanted to say. He thought of that girl and his heart was filled withplex


    emotions. As he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Please believe she has no ill


    motives or purposes." After a pause, he added decisively, sounding as if he was putting away some


    unnecessary thought. "She loves you deeply."

 Chapter 151 A Sudden Kiss

    Chapter 151A Sudden Kiss


    Chapter 151 A Sudden Kiss


    Natalie felt better after taking a rest.


    Owen walked in and handed her the medicine. "Remember to take it."


    Natalie asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you handled your affairs?"


    "It''s done," Owen smiled. I''m going to fly back to Cruxham next month. And I will find a way to bring


    GM-1 back."


    "Did you go to the Exit and Entrance Department because of GM-1?"


    "Yes, there was a misunderstanding, but it has been resolved!" Owen changed the topic. "Mr. Ramsey


    had a sudden stent misalignment today. What is the cause?"


    "It''s because of his intense recovery training." Natalie frowned. "I will keep an eye on him and prohibit


    him from doing any strenuous exercise."


    "You should look after your body." Owen crouched down and said with concern, "You are also a doctor.


    You should know how important health is."


    "You are also a doctor." Natalie hadn''t heard that since a long time ago.


    The concern from another doctor moved Natalie, and she kept nodding. "I will."


    ...


    Kendrick could have left the hospital as nned, but because of the second surgery, he was dyed


    from discharge.


    Natalie consulted with Dr. Cayden Stein, who was responsible for Kendrick''s recovery training.


    Cayden hesitated and dared not tell the truth.


    Under the pressure from Natalie, he admitted that Kendrick''s exercises were too intense during his


    recovery training.


    But having been warned in advance, Cayden dared not tell Natalie that Kendrick used a pair of hand


    rings and forced himself to stand up with his waist strength.


    Natalie suppressed her anger and said to Cayden, "If he doesn''t follow the recovery n again, just tell


    me."


    She gritted her teeth and thought, "Does he dare not listen to me?"


    Cayden nodded. "Okay, okay."


    Natalie did not appear in Kendrick''s wardter, and after her recovery, she went back home directly.


    On one hand, she was angry at herself for having indulging Kendrick. She responded to his every


    request and did as he wished, which made him more absurd.


    On the other hand, she wanted to give some time and space for each other to think.


    Natalie was very relieved now. She got the bracelet back. She didn''t need to keep the secret that it had


    been her who did the surgery and let Kendrick make his own choice.


    ...


    Kendrick had stayed up almost all night.


    He leaned against the headboard and pondered for a long time.


    He had never suffered violent mood swings before. He had been like a machine without emotions or


    emotional burdens.


    But now he felt he was being loved so deeply that he was not sure if he could repay it.


    He thought, "She didn''t look well at that time. She must have been worried about my recovery and


    overworked. I saw an acupuncture scar on her leg. She must have tried acupuncture personally. For


    this operation, she has read so many boring and sophisticated books and tranted English


    documents."


    The memories rushed toward him and overwhelmed him.


    Since Kendrick''s parents passed away, no one had cared about him to this extreme in the past twenty


    years, except her.


    He was confused and uncertain, wondering what he had that was worth her deep love.


    However, Kendrick quickly found that Natalie really seemed to want to ignore him.


    She didn''t send him any messages or tended to visit him.


    When the nurse told her about his condition, she merely said she got it.


    "Nat, are you really angry?" He couldn''t help but think.


    This was the first time Kendrick faced this situation. In the past, no matter what happened, Nat had not


    been angry with him and was always tolerant with him.


    He thought, "It should be because of my reckless behavior in the operating room that day, which might


    cause infection of the wound or the entire surgery in vain. So she got angry."


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    For the first time, Kendrick had a sleepless night.


    ...


    Natalie finished the meeting at six o''clock.


    It was a crucial time for marketing these days, and every link was very important.


    Natalie had been busy these days and deliberately left Kendrick out.


    The nurse told her that Kendrick was recovering well.


    Natalie was about to process some documents when she received a call from Brock.


    "Mrs. Ramsey," Brock sounded gloomy and upset. "Mr. Ramsey could not eat recently and could not


    sleep at night with the pain of his wound."


    "This is normal," Natalie said calmly. "Get some painkillers from the doctor. If he still can''t eat, give him


    injections of amino acids and glucose."


    Brock thought that her answer was perfect and came to the point.


    He was about to agree when receiving a warning from his boss.


    "But..."


    "But what?"


    "Could youe and see him?"


    Natalie asked, "Do you want me to go, or does he want me to go?"


    Brock didn''t understand! As a bachelor, he did not understand why Natalie asked the question. He


    wondered, "Does that make any difference?"


    But he knew that if Natalie didn''te, he wouldn''te to a good end.


    Hearing Natalie''s words, Kendrick gestured to Brock to give him the phone.


    Brock handed it over and saw his boss, who had scolded him loudly was now speaking in a very gentle


    voice that Brock had never heard in his life, "Nat, are you busy now?"


    "Yes."


    "When will you finish your work?"


    "At eight o''clock."


    "Okay, I''ll wait for you toe over..." Kendrick was interrupted by a beep. The phone was hung up.


    Natalie was surprised and saw that her phone had lost its signal. She guessed because a ce nearby


    was under construction, the signal would asionally be interrupted.


    She thought, "Did Kendrick just say he would wait for me toe over?"


    ...


    Brock saw Kendrick''s face darken and was afraid that he would throw the phone away. Brock wanted to


    find a ce to hide.


    Luckily, Kendrick handed the phone to him expressionlessly and opened hisputer to process the


    files.


    An hourter, he closed hisputer and asked Brock in a tired and hoarse voice, "Do you have


    cigarettes?"


    Brock was shocked that Kendrick, who had never touched cigarettes or alcohol, was asking for


    cigarettes. He knew that his boss was in a very bad mood.


    Brock took out his cigarette pack and handed it to him with a stoop, trying to control his trembling hand.


    He then took out his lighter to light the cigarette for him.


    Just when Kendrick put a cigarette to his lips, the ward door was pushed open.


    Natalie''s angry voice rang out. "You''re smoking! You''re impossible."


    Kendrick quickly reacted and stuffed the cigarette into Brock''s mouth, scolding, "Go and smoke


    outside!" His movement was so smooth.


    Brock didn''t drop the ball at the critical moment and ran out with a cigarette in his mouth.


    Natalie strode over and checked but found no cigarette butts. She red at Kendrick and asked, "Did


    you smoke?"


    "No!" Kendrick denied. "You can smell me!"


    Natalie sat down by the bed, leaned over to smell his clothes, and did not smell cigarettes. She raised


    her chin to smell his breath.


    "Do you smell it?" Kendrick slowly blew hot breath on her face.


    Natalie shook her head with a flushed face.


    "If you still doubt it..." A magnified handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Natalie''s eyes.


    Before Natalie could react, her lips got caught by his lips.

    Chapter 152 Honey, Don''t Ignore Me


    Kendrick sped her chin with one hand and kissed her recklessly.


    At first, the kiss was gentle but soon became deep.


    He held her rosy lips in his mouth, his teeth nibbling them. Feeling Natalie wanted to step back, he


    sped the back of her head with his other hand, pried open her mouth with his tongue, and swept


    along the roof of her mouth.


    The passionate kiss awakened Natalie''s sensory memory.


    She couldn''t retreat and could only ept the passion from him.


    Her nose was surrounded by the refreshing breath of Kendrick, listening to his heavy breathing.


    The predatory kiss made Natalie gasp for breath, and she reached out to push him, sobbing, because


    she really could not breathe.


    The man then let go of her and stroked her moist, crimson lips with his fingers. He asked in a low,


    hoarse voice, "Did you smell smoke?"


    Natalie was gasping for breath and had no time to answer him. "Don''t you believe me?" He asked


    again.


    Soon his lips covered her lips again. "Then check it again!" He said in a blurry voice.


    A knock came from outside the door, and the nurse''s voice rang out. "Mr. Ramsey, may Ie in?"


    Natalie immediately reached out to push Kendrick away, but her wrist was grabbed.


    Kendrick didn''t respond and continued to kiss her.


    During the past few days when Natalie had been ignoring him, he had been extremely sad.


    Kendrick realized how deeply he relied on her. She was indispensable to him and even was the one he


    lived for.


    As the thick andplex emotions in his heart spread, he wanted to put her in his heart.


    He felt that she was really out of breath and let go of her. He blew a breath into her mouth and lowered


    his eye, asking, "Did you?"


    Natalie hurriedly shook her head.


    Kendrick narrowed his eyes and smiled, his fingers lingering on her pink cheeks, whispering, "I don''t


    smoke."


    Natalie then remembered that he hardly touched cigarettes or alcohol.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    But Natalie red at him and said, "You better have told the truth."


    When she was getting up, Kendrick hurriedly took her hand and said, "Where are you going?"


    She had only been here for less than half an hour, and he didn''t want her to go.


    "I''ll call the nurse over!" She estimated that the nurse hadn''t heard anyone answer and was still waiting


    outside.


    After all, Kendrick was the patient with the best treatment. Everyone had to wait for him!


    Natalie pushed the door open, thinking, "The nurses are so busy, but he''s taking up the time!"


    The nurse was indeed standing at the door waiting. Natalie gestured for the nurse to enter.


    The nurse went in to take Kendrick''s temperature and told Natalie, "Mr. Ramsey has been eating


    regrly these days, so the wound is recovering well. Painkillers have been prescribed. When he is in


    severe pain, he can take one pill."


    Natalie smiled and thanked the nurse, while ncing aside at Kendrick and thinking, "Didn''t Block say


    he couldn''t eat?"


    After the nurse left, Natalie sat down by the bed, just looking at him without a word.


    After a while, she lowered her eyes and didn''t even look at him.


    Kendrick slowly raised himself to sit up and took her in his arms. He ced his chin on her shoulder,


    pressing against her face.


    "Honey, don''t ignore me! "Kendrick suddenly kissed her ear and said in a hoarse voice.


    Natalie was very surprised. "He actually called me honey! Is he still a cold and aloof man?"


    She hurriedly patted him. "You lie down."


    Just now, the nurse told her he couldn''t be sitting too long.


    Kendrick didn''t let go of her and said seriously, "Don''t exin anything to me. I know you saved me,


    and other things are not important."


    He thought, "She is a fairy, the light in my life. If I know too much about the fairy''s secrets, she will


    leave me and go back to heaven, just like what is said in a fairy story. After the fairy saves the mortal,


    the mortal discovers the fairy''s secret and questions her, and in the end, the fairy has to leave him."


    "I was being reckless that day. I''m sorry!" Kendrick apologized to her.


    After saying that, he slowly leaned back and frowned softly. "The waist really hurts. I must have


    sprained it to my waist just when I stuffed the cigarette into Block''s mouth," he thought.


    Natalie looked at him deeply. She bit her lip slightly and felt pain. "It must be because of his hard kiss."


    "Since you want to apologize, how about this?" Natalie exhaled a long breath and said gently, "You


    memorize the full text of Safety Regtions for Surgeries."


    Kendrick widened his eyes in shock and thought, "What? Memorizing the whole text? Is she joking? My


    time is so precious!"


    Natalie smiled at him as if saying I knew you weren''t apologizing sincerely.


    After hesitating for a moment, Kendrick asked, "The entire article?" He tried to negotiate.


    "Of course!" Natalie made no concessions.


    "Okay!"


    "After you''ve memorized it, tell me. I''ll take a spot check!" Natalie raised her chin and said with a smile,


    "If you make a mistake in one word..." She spoke with a slight drawl, thinking about how to punish him!


    "Dr. Quinn, how will you punish me?"


    He deliberately pressed the word "punish", which sounded somewhat ambiguous.


    When calling her Dr. Quinn, Kendrick imagined the picture of her wearing a white coat!


    Natalie coughed lightly and said seriously, "Don''t think I''m joking. I''ll bring a ruler and hit you in the


    palm if you make a mistake."


    Kendrick asked, "Why don''t you take the whip?"


    Natalie was shocked. "I''m not that fierce! It''s just a small punishment, a whip is unnecessary."


    Kendrick smiled and did not speak.


    ...


    Kendrick spent an evening memorizing the full text of the regtions.


    Natalie sat cross-legged next to him and took a check! He made mistakes in two sentences and missed


    an attributive.


    "Give me your hand."


    In the past 26 years, Kendrick had not been physically punished!


    He was clever and clever from a young age, and his parents were open-minded.


    Later, he had some health problems, and no one punished him at all.


    This was the first time in his life that someone hit his palm!


    Kendrick argued, "But the meaning is the same."


    Natalie narrowed her eyes and said, "Is that how you speak to your teacher when reciting articles?"


    Kendrick was speechless and could not argue!


    He reached out and received two hits.


    "You''ve passed it!" Natalie put away the paper and ruler and jumped out of bed. "Tomorrow afternoon,


    Block will pick you up for discharge. I have something to do tomorrow."


    She quickly put on her windbreaker. She was going back to inspect the decoration work at home.


    She hoped everything would go smoothly this time.


    She wanted to spray the whole bottle of ribbon onto Kendrick and record his flustered face!


    Kendrick was speechless and thought, "It''s okay if she won''te to pick me up tomorrow. But she''s


    not staying with me tonight. I''ve been beaten for nothing."


    Kendrick coughed, his lips pale, and said weakly, "Okay, get the painkillers for me."

    Chapter 153 The Sailor Suit


    Natalie fetched the pills immediately and asked with concern, "Does your back hurt badly?"


    Kendrick nodded, "Yeah, much more than that. My legs start to hurt too."


    She nced at the weather forecast.


    It would rain tomorrow.


    Therefore, he would feel more pain.


    She gave him the pills and sat down again. She held his hand with a slight frown and stretched out her


    hand to caress his cheek, saying gently, "Please hold on a bit. The pain in the recovery period is rather


    obvious, but after that you will feel better."


    He took the opportunity to intertwine her fingers.


    He caressed her soft palm with his thumb.


    Her hands were small and warm, and he didn''t want to let go as he was holding them.


    He felt obviously that her look and mood today were much better than those of the previous few days.


    She was not a sophisticated, deep or indifferent person, and she would smile when she was happy and


    frown when upset.


    His feelings changed with her mood.


    He would be in a bad mood when she felt sad and cried.


    But when she was delighted and smiled, he would be in a sunny and upbeat mood, as if the spring was


    in his heart!


    All he wanted for the rest of his life was that she could be safe and happy.


    Nothing else was important to him!


    Kendrick raised his hand and slowly smoothed her frowning brows, "Right, I can bear it."


    Although they hurt, he still wanted her hug andfort!


    But he couldn''t make her worry about him a lot!


    She rolled up his trouser legs and applied the heat patch on his knees, which could promote blood


    cirction and help to ease the pain.


    At that moment, something urred to her suddenly. She looked up and said, "Dr. Stein said that you


    didn''t train ording to the n!"


    He was speechless.


    She hadn''t settled it with him yet!


    "Well, probably, possibly..." He paused, "The training is a little bit overloaded."


    He was sure that Cayden didn''t reveal that he stood up.


    Otherwise she wouldn''t look like this.


    "That is not allowed!" She frowned, her tone seeming to be coquettish and warning, "Look, recovery


    must be gradual. Just take your time!" Her face copsed, "I will punish you if you dare to disobey Dr.


    Stein''s instructions next time!"


    "Nothing like that will happen again!" He behaved rather delicately.


    Her lips curved and gave him gentle encouragement, "Life is long. We have goals and know what we


    want to do, so we won''t waste time. Just don''t be in a rush."


    She gave him chicken soup for the soul.


    But he didn''t have any bad vibes about it at all. He just thought that she was smart and sober and that


    she was the perfect candidate for his soul mate.


    After saying that, she lowered her head to massage his legs for him. Seeing that he could bend his


    knees sessfully, she was so happy that she couldn''t hide the joy on her face.


    She pinched the muscles of his legs and said to him, "It''s much harder than before."


    He curved his lips when hearing that.


    It''s an ambiguous smile.


    Suddenly, she remembered those strange questions that he had asked her with bad intentions.


    She lowered her head immediately.


    But he had already held her wrist.


    "Where?" asked he.


    She gritted her teeth and refused to let him take her hands.


    "Don''t..."


    "Don''t what?" He raised his eyebrows.


    He just took her hand.


    And nothing was done!


    But she became rather shy by that single move.


    The color rushed into her cheeks.


    "Well, they just don''t hurt at all!" She ground her teeth, "It''s gettingte. You should go to bed early!"


    She bent down and kissed his cheek, "I''ll go back tonight to deal with some work. Just be good!"


    Thest few words coaxed him to let go of her hand.


    "All right. Be careful and call me when you get home!" He raised his hand to pinch her small jaw and


    lowered his voice, "From now on, just don''t hang up on me!"


    Except for Natalie, no one dared to hang up on his phone easily!


    He also got a temper!


    Something urred to her.


    "Oh, it was a misunderstanding!" She exined, "The park was under construction and I just had poor


    reception identally!" And then she straightened up and took a step back,ughing, "If you dare to


    piss me off again, I won''t answer your phone!"


    She just looked arrogant and unscrupulous as she was favored by him a lot.


    He just smiled helplessly.


    What should he do then?


    He could only continue to hold her gently in the palm of his hand and spoil her!


    ...


    Wonder Vi had been redecorated.


    Alisson came here to design it specially and created a warm feeling of home in the whole house.


    Kendrick had been in the hospital for so long and had smelt the formalin for almost half a month. It was


    time to change the environment and his mood.


    After finishing her work, Alisson came over and asked Natalie, "Mrs. Ramsey, shall I help you with your


    makeup?"


    "Sure. I want it bright and youthful!"


    Alisson made an OK gesture and said, "And an outfit for you to match the makeup!"


    Natalie trusted Alisson a lot.


    Therefore, as she saw that Alisson took out a white shirt and red dress which was like a sailor suit, she


    felt unbelievable, "Well..."


    "The whole style just matches the makeup!" Alisson was rather certain and confident of her own taste.


    The shirt had short sleeves and it revealed the waist. The pleated skirts could only cover the bottom.


    They did look youthful and charming!


    The temperature was constant in the vi all year round. As the underfloor heating was on, Natalie


    wouldn''t feel cold wearing that.


    She hesitated.


    Alisson encouraged her, "It''s the most appropriate style for you. You can easily handle something


    beautiful and youthful like that." She moved on, "It will blow others away if you try something new


    asionally."


    How could she be so good with words?


    Natalie was coaxed into consent.


    Alisson also designed a ponytail with slightly curly hair tips for Natalie. She used highlights and


    shadows to exaggerate Natalie''s good features. And she gave thetter tea brown contacts to create a


    delicate exotic feeling.


    "Wow, Mrs. Ramsey, have you ever considered being a beauty blogger?" Alisson marveled, "Your


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    features are quite impressive."


    Natalie shook her head and said, "It will be grueling!"


    ...


    Kendrick was discharged at 5 pm.


    ording to the original n, Brock would send him home while Baron would wee him back.


    Kendrick would then wait in the living room for a while to feel the changes and warmth of the house.


    And then Natalie would show up suddenly and spray colored ribbons on him, giving him a surprise.


    Meanwhile, Ashlynn would take out her phone to record the videos.


    It was perfect!


    Natalie took the ribbon cylinder from Ashlynn''s hand and patted her on the shoulder tofort her,


    "Don''t be afraid. Just say that I ask you to do so. If he mes you, I will scold him back for you!"


    Hearing that, Ashlynn had great courage immediately.


    She felt she couldn''t go wrong if she trusted Mrs. Ramsey!


    The clock struck five.


    Natalie hid by the wall in the corner.


    She heard the wheelchair stopping in the living room.


    As she found it was the right time, she ran out with a gas cylinder and sprayed the ribbons vigorously


    ahead.


    "Surprise! My love!"


    Natalie said that loudly.


    Indeed, Kendrick was surprised.


    He looked up to the young and exotic super girl before him unbelievably.


    The short top showed her slender waist.


    The red pleated skirt revealed her long, straight and fair legs.


    They just fell under his eyes.


    At the same time, another man''s voice swelled from the porch behind Kendrick, "Damn it. What the hell


    is that? I am sprayed with it all over my face. I can''t see!"

 Chapter 154 She Said She Was Not From This World

    Chapter 154 She Said She Was Not From This World


    Chapter 154 She Said She Was Not From This World


    What was it?


    Immediately Natalie''s smile froze. She looked at the tall and straight man behind Kendrick who had


    been sprayed with colored ribbons all over his face by her and who was fussing with the ribbons on his


    hair and face impatiently at that moment.


    Wasn''t he Brett, Kendrick''s second brother?


    The legendary living Death.


    Kendrick came back to his senses and patted her thigh. He nced at her, calling her to go upstairs.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    She then quickly hid the gas cylinder behind her back and hurried away.


    Basically, Ashlynn recorded Mr. Ramsey, her boss, panicking, but she saw that Mrs. Ramsey was so


    flurried that she ran upstairs and almost fell down there.


    Things were not going right.


    It was beyond everyone''s imagination.


    Immediately, Ashlynn hid the phone in her pocket and pretended that nothing had happened.


    Brett was still fighting with the ribbons. However, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn''t get rid


    of them.


    "Brett, why are you standing at the door? You''re blocking my way!" Maggie came in with her bag in her


    hand. She was dyed a bit by a phone call just now.


    As she entered the door, she saw that his second brother''s head and face were covered with colorful


    ribbons.


    Immediately, she took out her phone and took a few photos of him. And then she held back her


    Ken also got few colored ribbons on him. He was cleaning up in a slow and calm manner instead.


    Maggie thought that her second brother was so stupid.


    How could he spend a long time taking those ribbons away and even paste them together on his face?


    Brett blew a few raspberries. As he finally freed himself after a long time''s hard work, he asked loudly


    with anger, "Who did it?"


    He was tall and strong, with a short haircut. His skin color was darker than ordinary people''s because


    of years of overseas service. His loud roar made Natalie froze when she just came down from upstairs.


    God, he was so terrible!


    She pretended to know nothing and ran to Kendrick, asking him, "What''s wrong, what??"


    She took advantage of the time when she went upstairs and changed her short skirt to a home beige


    sweater and ck straight-leg pants.


    Maggie''s face appeared from behind her second brother and she said, "Well, Brett was sprayed with


    ribbons all over his face and now he is about to swear!"


    Kendrick moved calmly. He kept a distance from Brett and just pulled Natalie a little farther before


    saying to Brett, "Probably the balloon above burst!"


    God damn the bursting balloon.


    Brett just heard someone saying surprise!


    He took a deep breath and calmed down slowly.


    He was not a fool.


    He could easily know that Natalie did a "good job".


    But the instigator was now standing behind his fourth brother innocently with downcast eyes, looking


    like she knew nothing about it.


    Well, never mind.


    Harmony brought wealth!


    Brett touched his head and said, "Well, surprise to the wrong person!"


    Natalie stuck out her tongue.


    How could she know that Brett would show up suddenly!


    Brett finished his overseas service and returned to take the medal. He just came here to see his fourth


    brother with Maggie.


    And he just met Maggie outside the yard.


    He came in, but never expected that he would receive a surprise.


    Maggie ran over and took Nataie''s hand familiarly, saying, "Nat, wee here to see Ken. Wow, your


    make-up is so beautiful today. You look like a gorgeous girl!" She just flung her arms around Natalie''s


    waist and pushed Natalie into the deep of the living room, "What brand of eye shadow is it? Did you put


    on two fresh coats?"


    As Kendrick just raised his eyes, Natalie had already been pushed to turn round. His second brother''s


    voice could also be heard at the moment, "Ken, where is the 3D stereo you bought and told mest


    time? Show me then!"


    It was so noisy!


    Really!


    Kendrick felt that his ears were exploding.


    He shouldn''t have agreed that they coulde here.


    Something was wrong. It was Maggie and Brett who told him that they had arrived at the gate of the


    vi and waited for him toe back.


    ...


    As Maggie picked up a grape from the fruit basket and threw it into her mouth, she said to Natalie,


    "Nat, I have joined the filming crew. I met Mr. Stonest time. He was quite satisfied with me and said


    that the female costar was quite my style!"


    It was, wasn''t it?


    Maggie had spent more than five million yuan.


    Natalie nodded, "Sure it was!"


    "I have changed the agent team." Maggie moved on, "It has trained Mr. Q before."


    Natalie was stunned.


    Why would the team have an interest in Maggie, a fledging girl?


    Did the photo of Maggie she tookst time catch the head''s attention?


    And the story began?


    Maggie broke Natalie''s charming fantasies in time, "Thanks to Ken''s socialwork."


    Ken had said that he would give her a big gift.


    And the gift was to change a reliable team for her.


    And then she signed with mncholy and whispered to Natalie, "But I''m afraid that I''ll let him down!"


    But how could it be?


    Natalie thought secretly that Kendrick might not have much expectations of Maggie and that he just


    didn''t want her sister to be wronged in her field.


    But Natalie turned her thinking into something like this of course, "That won''t happen. Maggie, you


    have to trust yourself. I am rather optimistic about the new drama. Well, I''m not sure whether it will be


    in the limelight, but I''m certain that the drama will be popr at least. The team is rather reliable.


    And how could the brother be disappointed with his sister? You just haven''t done anything bad, have


    you!"


    As she just said something warm like that, Brett said to Maggie suddenly and unountably, "Maggie,


    you just let me down. I have asked you not to tell our parents that I''lle back early, but you just get a


    big mouth. Now they want me to go on a blind date. Well, I won''t let you get away with this easily!"


    Maggie was so scared that she held Natalie tightly and said, "We are at Ken''s house. Don''t you frighten


    me!"


    Natalie patted Maggie on her trembling back and asked in surprise, "Are you going on a blind date,


    Brett?"


    "I am~" Brett looked rather terrible. He grinded his teeth and said, "Damn it. The blind date has been


    numbered and from tomorrow on, I will start to meet number one."


    ...


    The topic of Brett''s blind date still moved on till the meal time.


    All the people present looked sympathetic andforting.


    But they were so happy that they just couldn''t hide the joy in their eyes.


    There wereints all over Brett''s handsome face, "Well, blind date number one has a master''s


    degree in sociology at a famous university. What can we talk about when we are together? Thews of


    human social development or the growth rate of the poption in the next fifty years?"


    As Kendrick heard Brett''s story, he joked happily, "How do you know what to talk about if you refuse to


    meet her? What if you two have a nice chat? As you have a simr family background and are close in


    age, I don''t think that it''s difficult for you to have somemon topics."


    "Why don''t you go and meet her!" Brett became violent.


    Kendrick said calmly, "I dare not do it." He nced at Natalie intentionally or unintentionally, "Nat is


    here, all right. Don''t cause me trouble!"


    Natalie was speechless. "..." She didn''t say anything, did she! But she also felt it funny.


    Brett became speechless. "..."


    How could Kendrick disy affection here! He immediately asked Maggie to go to the wine cab and


    get a valuable bottle of Romanee Conti to open it.


    After drinking half a bottle of wine, Brett began to say a lot, "I just don''t want to go on blind dates. Don''t


    push me, or I will go back to the army immediately."


    "But you will be handed back forcibly even if youe back." Kendrick said calmly, "It has been a long


    while since you broke up. You should let go and get it over. If you have been refusing blind dates, you


    will only be pushed harder!"


    Natalie looked at Brett, who became childish after drinking a little wine, and then Maggie, who was


    chatting with someone unknown instead of enjoying the food.


    She signed secretly.


    What a family.


    She felt that her husband was the only one sane and normal!


    "How can I get over it?" Brett pounded the table with great strength, "Damn, I was fuck and yed with


    my feelings. I had prepared a proposal ring, but..." He looked up and nced around the people on the


    table, mocking, "Do you know why she dumped me?"


    "Well, you just can''t find out the reason!" He gritted his teeth in anger, "She said she was not from this


    world and would leave sooner orter. She said we''d better break up, for fear that we should be sad


    one day!"

 Chapter 155 You Are Flatter Than Me

    Chapter 155 You Are tter Than Me


    Chapter 155 You Are tter Than Me


    "She just saw me as a fool, didn''t she?" Brett drank the wine in his ss in one gulp, "How could she


    use such an excuse if she wanted to break up with me!"


    Natalie was speechless, "..."


    She asked cautiously, "Then what?"


    "And then I was totally dumped and never got in touch with her again."


    What a sad story it sounded.


    She took the ss and silently poured herself a ss of wine.


    Kendrick stopped her as he saw that.


    She looked up and begged him in a low voice, "Just a little. It''s fine."


    How miserable Brett was. She felt that it was worth clinking sses.


    Kendrick agreed.


    She poured herself a small ss of wine and clinked the ss,forting him, "To get out of that sad


    rtionship early, Brett!"


    "No!" Brett knocked the ss on the marble table with a bang and said, "I must find her. Then she will


    see how good I am now and regret it!" He chuckled, "I will be promoted to major general soon!"


    "Probably you are just someone normal who she gets with. She might forget who you are when you


    meet her, haha!" Maggie finally found a chance to raise her head instead of looking at the screen of her


    phone and just said something like that to rub salt in his old wounds.


    It became silent at the moment.


    Natalie felt that Brett was just going to turn the table over.


    She pinched her husband''s hand under the table and thought about how they would not be affected


    To her surprise, Brett just lowered his eyes and sighed inaudibly, "Really?"


    Was it a story of a ruthless ya and a loyal affectionate man?


    Kendrick patted his second brother on the shoulder and said with concern, "You''re drunk. Just go back


    early and have some rest!"


    The wine easily went to Brett''s head as he drank it.


    It was all right to open a bottle of dry red wine which cost 50 thousand dors for him.


    Those tes and wine vessels were also very expensive.


    They were handmade.


    He felt that Brett just couldn''t smash them.


    "Right!" The living death nodded, "You go out and drive, Maggie!"


    But Maggie was not pleased.


    She didn''t want to leave yet.


    She felt that there were still so many things she hadn''t said to Nat!


    Brett raised his hand, "Stop dawdling. You just ask for trouble, don''t you?"


    "Can''t you just ask the driver to pick you up? I want to stay for a while!"


    "Just keep an eye on Brett, Maggie." Natalie was a little worried, "I will go to the show with you in a few


    days!"


    "All right!" Rtively, Maggie was willing to follow Natalie''s idea. She nced at her second brother


    and said, I''ll take the car!


    As Brett was leaving, he turned around and said, "Don''t forget to take the drugs I bring you, Ken."


    Drug?


    What drug did Kendrick need to take?


    Natalie cocked her ears.


    "All right. I will." Kendrick said with concern, "Be careful and don''t forget to go on a blind date


    tomorrow!"


    Maggie just dragged Brett away.


    Natalie saw the two of them out.


    She didn''te back until she saw them driving out.


    Atst, she felt that the humming sound in her ears stopped.


    She just heard a love story that was a bit sad but a littleic as it was told by Brett.


    They were not in the same world.


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    Was it a reason to dump him or was it the truth?


    She stepped into the living room and found that Kendrick was still sitting at the dining table. He could


    feel the quietness finally.


    She walked over and asked, "Is your second brother going to stay for a long time this time?"


    "Yeah, for about next year. He will be promoted to Major General at the end of the year and President


    Williamson will personally award the medal!"


    "That''s amazing!" She praised sincerely, "The Ramsey family are rather awesome!"


    Kendrick smiled faintly.


    "Oh right, what drugs did he bring you?"


    "Well, they are not drugs. Just some nutritional supplements." He said unceremoniously, "He just can''t


    tell the difference between these two."


    She then breathed a sigh of relief as she heard that. She sat down again and poured herself a bowl of


    soup and said with deep feelings, "Well, I don''t know that your brother has such a sad past."


    "It was his first love, so it hurt deeply!"


    Kendrick was going to pour himself a ss of wine. He found that the wine was drunk up and then he


    said, "Nat, will you go to the wine cab and get me a bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild''s 12-year-


    old Cabe Sauvignon?"


    "You can''t drink."


    "Not even a ss?"


    He was bargaining with her.


    "All right. Only a small ss."


    She fetched a bottle of dry red wine and opened it with a corkscrew. And then she poured it into a


    decanter.


    Only after listening to Brett did she know how much the story had affected him.


    He was almost expelled from the army and ruined his future.


    As she found that it was the time, she poured Kendrick a small ss of wine from the decanter. She


    just controlled the wine in an urate manner and then she poured a ss of wine for herself, "So


    Brett never got in touch with that woman again?"


    "He was so firm. Naturally, he didn''t want to see her again!"


    "If she wasn''t literally in this world?"


    "I didn''t ask him. Brett didn''t know where she came from, nor did he know whether she was alive."


    Kendrick misunderstood Natalie.


    She didn''t mean life and death.


    As Brett knew nothing of the woman''s origin or background, he could only be angry with himself when


    he got dumped after falling in love with her.


    That was the so-called "Hardly get over it."


    Natalie stood up and pushed his wheelchair upstairs to go back to his room.


    As she drank a lot of wine, there was a natural redness shown in her face. Her delicate makeup she


    still wore made her more beautiful and charming.


    "You look gorgeous today!" said he suddenly.


    She couldn''t help butugh when she heard the praise. She thought of the surprise scene and felt it so


    funny. She crouched and got into his arm, lisping out her words, "Today I... almost lost my face. I didn''t


    expect that your brother and Maggie woulde here. Well, I meant to... give you a surprise."


    She looked up with watery eyes, "But the surprise seemed to turn into a shock!"


    He pinched her check gently and said, "Surprises cane at any time." He moved on, "You wore a


    skirt today, didn''t you?"


    "I did!"


    "I didn''t see it." With a deep look, he said calmly instead, "How about wearing it again?"


    Natalie was speechless, "..."


    She knew what he meant. She chewed her lips and looked at him with a smile.


    The wine made her a bit tipsy.


    Her reactions were slower than usual.


    Kendrick undid the first button of his shirt and said, "I want to take a shower."


    "Right~"


    "Will you help me?"


    "I can''t do it."


    She drank a lot of that bottle of wine just now.


    At the moment, she felt like she was stepping on the clouds but she was unable to engage her force.


    So she talked to him subconsciously.


    "Unbutton my shirt for me!" said he suddenly.


    He was staring at her eyes, looking like he was trying to seduce her.

    She stretched out her hands and reached for his shirt cor.


    She undid the buttons for him one by one with her slim and fair fingers.


    And then she stood still obediently and let her gazes fixed on his well-defined upper body and muscr


    arms, pectorals and abdominal muscles.


    He raised his hand and threw his shirt onto the bed, "What are you looking at?"


    "You are tter than me!"


    Suddenly, she smiled at him and said that.

    Chapter 156 Why Don''t You Give Yourself To Her


    Chapter 156 Why Don''t You Give Yourself To Her


    Natalie spoke it out shockingly, making Kendrick stunned obviously.


    After a long while, he leaned forward and raised her chin slightly. He narrowed his ck eyes and


    asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"


    She nodded in affirmation, "I do!"


    And then she reached out and patted his chest.


    There were a few muffled sounds.


    She feltpletely differentpared to hers.


    "A cup!" She chuckled and thenughed.


    Kendrick was not annoyed. Suddenly, he held her hand and let his deep eyes fix on her. He uttered a


    few words with his thin lips, "The shirt is taken off. Then what?"


    As she was half-drunk and half-sober, thinking slower than usual, she saw that he just took her hand


    and pulled it all the way down.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    At that time, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.


    The memory of that night was rather overwhelming.


    He just coaxed her in the same way as now.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Didn''t you want to help me take a bath?" said he calmly.


    She didn''t say yes at all though.


    "I''ll fill the bathtub then!" Suddenly she broke free from him. She got up with her hands on the ground


    and staggered into the bathroom.


    Filling the bathtub was the first thing to do before taking a shower.


    He pursed his lips slightly and put the tip of his tongue on his pte. After paused for a while, he took


    his clothes and followed her to the bathroom.


    The air was thick with moisture.


    Natalie squatted on the floor and stretched out her hands to paddle in the water.


    The temperature was just right.


    She turned her face and found that Kendrick had supported himself to sitting on the marble tform by


    the edge of the huge jacuzzi.


    "The water... is ready!" said she.


    "Right." he replied to her lightly and called her again, "Nat,e here."


    She put her hands on the edge of the bathtub and moved herself over.


    He stepped on the ground with his knees naturally against her. He told her patiently, "And pants should


    also be taken off when taking a shower."


    The water temperature in the bathroom was rather high and the alcohol had already reached her


    central nervous system. Natalie felt that there seemed to be a humming sound in her ears. Before she


    could understand what he meant, her hand was pulled by him.


    His hand pressed lightly on her small head and his voice was so deep as if he were ying a magic


    flute with demagogic power. He said half gently and halfmandingly, "Loosen the belt!"


    His metal belt had a unique structure. The water vapor was boiling in the bathroom.


    It blurred her vision and she said nkly, "I can''t see!"


    "Get closer then."


    At the moment, he came up with many evil and unknown thoughts.


    He let his gazes, which were as dark as ink, fixed on her deep eyes.


    The metal buckle was finally undid.


    He continued to coax her patiently, "The Zip."


    She looked up to him, "Done."


    Her fair face was more beautiful than the snow and her cheeks were so delicate that it was going to


    drip fresh ruby red wine. Her lips had the color of plums.


    Kendrick put his finger on her lips and said, "And something more!"


    Natalie was stunned for a while and then she pushed him away suddenly, "No." She added in a low


    voice, "Don''t show it!"


    She thought that boys must protect themselves.


    Their underpants could not be taken off casually, nor the protected area be seen by others easily.


    There was a slight smile ying round his lips. He took advantage of herck of consciousness and


    said brazenly, "You have seen it before."


    "I haven''t." She argued with him hurriedly, like a wronged child.


    She stepped back in a hurry but was held up by his knees.


    He held her small earlobe with his hands and asked vaguely, "Aren''t you curious?"


    She shook her head and said seriously, "I know what it is like."


    There was a sudden pain in her earlobe as he pressed his hand hard. He asked in a deep voice,


    "Whose have you seen?"


    She felt the pain, "The David... Sculpture!"


    It was in all art textbooks.


    Everyone had seen it.


    He let go of his hand.


    As her ears hurt by him, she shook off his hand angrily and stepped back. She touched the switch of


    the shower identally and the cold water poured directly on her head. She screamed and looked


    extremely awkward.


    He wanted to turn off the switch.


    With a pain in her forehead, she just threw the shower away which directly hit him on the head.


    And the cold water also poured him all over.


    ...


    Kendrick had learned his lesson.


    His forehead was hit.


    And the cold water made him drenched even.


    It was rather freezing.


    What had happened just taught him that don''t have wrong intentions to his wife when she was


    unconscious, as no one knew what she would do.


    He felt it easier to get round her when she was sober.


    Natalie even asked him the next morning, "Why does your forehead be red?"


    "I hit it!" He just said lightly.


    It would be better not to talk too much about it.


    Otherwise, once she remembered what had happened, she might ignore him for a few days.


    "I''m going to do recovery training today." He changed the topic, "It is all right that Brock keeps my


    And then he coughed.


    He was freezing to deathst night.


    "Did you catch a cold?"


    "No. My throat feels funny." He said, "Make some chicken soup for me and wait for me toe back!"


    "All right. Just train ording to the n and don''t you dare overload yourself."


    He dare not do so.


    If he misced identally again, he was afraid that she might p him.


    ...


    Dr. Stein had traveled far across the ocean from Winford and had been the main physician for


    Kendrick''s rehabilitation training for five years.


    Atst, he had seen the hope recently.


    He suggested that Kendrick try standing and walking after half a month''s recovery period.


    "That long?" asked Kendrick.


    Cayden said sincerely, "Your wife also has the same suggestion."


    "So be it then!"


    Cayden was speechless, "..."


    As the training was almost over, Owen sent the test report and analyzed various physical indicators for


    Kendrick. He said that he would leave Hamgrad in mid-November ande back in January next year.


    Kendrick said that Dr. Gentry had been working rather hard during that time. If Dr. Gentry needed


    anything, he would try his best to help if he could.


    Owen thanked him for his kindness. As a big picture thinker and a doctor, he said that what he most


    hoped was that Kendrick could recover early.


    Kendrick thought secretly, "You just make me awkward as you are so good with words, don''t you?"


    Owen paused. Something urred to his mind instead and he asked, "Do you know Melvin?"


    "What happens to him?"


    "He came here recently to have surgery to restore his hand sensation, but it didn''t work well. Yesterday


    he asked his men to make a fuss here and punched the attending doctor." Owen frowned deeply and


    said, "Now the doctor has multiple fractures all over his body."


    Kendrick was speechless, "..."


    He raised his hand and pressed the ce between his eyebrows, "I will arrange to deal with it."


    After Owen left, Kendrick called Edgar, "Edgar, might I trouble you for something?"


    Hearing what Kendrick had said, Edgar replied to him respectfully and then he asked, "Shall I tell Mr.


    Seth about it?"


    "Not for now."


    "All right, Mr. Ramsey!"


    "Well, let me know if anything happens."


    Kendrick hung up the phone and then looked up to Brock, asking, "Did Melvin lose his hand?"


    "The surgery failed and his hand became even worse than before. He could hardly feel it." said Brock.


    Kendrick was silent.


    Brock took the opportunity and said, "But your surgery was a great sess. Thank God and thank Dr.


    Gentry!"


    After saying that, he found that his boss was looking up to him and didn''t seem to agree with what he


    had said.


    Brock touched his head.


    Did he say something wrong?


    Kendrick beckoned Brock to squat down and patted him on the shoulder, "And there is also a person


    you have to express your gratitude!"


    But no warned, no fault.


    "Is it Mrs. Ramsey?" Brock finally remembered, "It''s really hard for her to take care of you."


    Kendrick propped on his elbow and thought about something, "But I haven''t figured out a gift for her."


    He had bought a ne ticket for Owen toe back. After all, the tickets were in short supply in those


    days, so he just used his connections to book first-ss tickets from the intr to solve Owen''s


    worries.


    But what should he give to Natalie?


    He really hadn''t found it out yet.


    Brock touched the back of his head. Suddenly, he had some enlightenments at the moment and


    suggested, "Why don''t you give yourself to her?"

 Chapter 157 I Wont Let You Get Away With It Easily

    Chapter 157 I Won''t Let You Get Away With It Easily


    Chapter 157 I Won''t Let You Get Away With It Easily


    Kendrick looked Brock up and down and felt that something was wrong with him.


    Hurriedly, Brock exined, "I mean, to give her both your body and heart piously."


    Kendrick interrupted, "Right. I see."


    It was a rather good idea!


    Kendrick thought that he could absolutely give her his heart.


    As for the body.


    He rubbed his chin and recalled that he coaxed herst night. But she just didn''t fall into his trap and


    his head was hit instead.


    He coughed.


    He touched his forehead and found that it still hurt a little.


    (As for the body) There was no hurry!


    Many were the years toe.


    ...


    The temperature in Goldburg in November had dropped sharply.


    The wind was blowing outside the window.


    Fortunately, there was underfloor heating in the room and it was not cold at all.


    Natalie had spent much energy recently. As she had no worries now, she had a rather sound sleep.


    She slept until five o''clock.


    She heard a knock on the bedroom door.


    It was Kendrick, "Nat, are you awake?"


    She replied to him in a daze, "Yeah".


    But she soon fell asleep again.


    Finding that she only said a word and ten became quiet, he directly opened the door.


    She couldn''t be sick, could she?


    There was only one bedsidemp on in the room and the light was dim.


    Natalie was holding the quilt. Her nightgown was lifted up to her thigh and her dazzlingly fair legs were


    just shown there.


    He pulled the quilt and tucked it up for her.


    Natalie turned over and asked, "You are back?"


    There was sweetness and softness in her voice as she just woke up.


    She closed her eyes and said vaguely, "I''m so sleepy!"


    "Get more sleep then. But I bring you chestnut pie and roasted potatoes, and they will get cold if it


    takes you too long to wake up."


    Immediately, she sat up from the bed.


    He looked for her slippers, finding that she had left them near the other end of the sofa.


    He thought that she must have moved around in the bedroom without shoes on.


    There was underfloor heating.


    But she had been in poor health recently.


    He fetched the slippers and said with a poker face, "I have told you not to go barefoot indoors in


    winter." He held her slender ankle and put her shins on his legs, wanting to put on her shoes.


    "There is floor heating anyway!" said she indifferently.


    "No!"


    As she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, she talked back to him simply, "Yes yes! The


    temperature of the floor is higher than the one of the shoes!"


    She was spoiled anyway!


    She just wanted to be a bit bitchy.


    His look darkened. As he had many ways to deal with her, he just tickled the sole of her tender and fair


    feet directly with his hands.


    She never expected that he would think outside the box. She felt rather itchy, crying andughing at the


    moment. She just wanted to break free from his hands.


    But he was too strong.


    She kicked and just leaned back directly because of her unsteady gravity. She leaned on the quilt,


    looked like she wasughing and weeping all at once, "You just throw a tantrum!"


    "Want to be barefoot again?"


    If she remained silent, he would continue to tickle her feet.


    "Oh," Sheughed on the other side of her face, but she still refused to beg for mercy, "That''s not fair.


    You''re threatening me. If I agree, it will be an unequal treaty, haha..."


    She kicked her legs so hard that shepletely forgot that she was wearing a nightgown


    "The beautiful scene" just fell under his eye.


    He held her ankle and pressed it to his side.


    She felt a gust of cool wind under her nightgown and realized something btedly. She was terrified


    and wanted to get up, but she just lost her bnce.


    She couldn''t get up.


    She could only pull her nightgown down.


    But it availed to nothing.


    As she opened her eyes, she did found that he was looking at her. She said angrily, "What are you


    looking at?"


    He chuckled and there was an indescribable hint of mockery in his smile.


    Natalie became both shy and angry. She pulled the pillow to cover herself and cried, "I won''t be


    barefoot anymore. Just don''t tickle me!"


    "Do I have your word?"


    "You do!"


    "What if you get caught again?"


    "Then..."


    No. She felt that she couldn''t dig herself into a hole.


    "Haha, don''t, I... oh!"


    Come on!


    What a bad man!


    Kendrick tickled her a few more times. He didn''t let go of her feet until he saw her really crying and he


    warned her, "If I catch you barefoot again, I won''t let you get away with it easily."


    She sniffed and slowly sat up.


    She did cry.


    If the soles of the feet were touched, she would indeed make an uncontroble and indescribable


    sound, like the scream from a screaming chicken.


    She sat taking a few breaths and then she heard him asking her, "Do you know what you looked like


    just now?"


    She was weeping andughing.


    She thought she must be rather cute, didn''t she?


    She blinked her watery eyes and looked at him, hoping for a good adjective.


    His eyes were deep and there was a smile ying round his lips, "A little frog on the lotus leaf!"


    Natalie just imagined what it was like.


    Instantly, she reacted to it!


    She felt that there were ten thousand cars running over her in her mind which hardly saved her any


    face.


    What a shameful... look she had!


    God!


    She picked up the pillow and smashed it at him rudely, "It''s you, you!"


    Natalie fell into the confusion of her life on that day.


    She increasingly felt that she had misread him.


    Something was wrong with him.


    Had he changed?


    ...


    As Natalie was said to be a little frog, an unattractive little animal, she decided to ignore him again!


    She got up early in the morning and wore makeup. And then she drove to thepany, while


    Kendrick''s car hadn''t even started!


    Well, just kill him to be stronger!


    As there was a traffic jam that morning, she arrived at the park at 8:30 am. After parking the car, she


    just saw a boy in front of her, who carried a ck bag, hailing her, "Natalie!"


    She opened her eyes wide and found that it was Saul.


    He just showed up at the right time!


    She greeted him hurriedly, "Oh, what a coincidence! I''m just buying you coffee. What do you want?


    Latte or cappino?""


    "You pick!" Saul gave her a dazzling smile in the early morning of November, showing a young boy''s


    shyness and brightness obviously.


    "Let''s go inside and have a look!"


    She bought five cups of coffee at the shop.


    She gave Saul a cup of coffee and she would give the other four cups to her colleagues in the project


    team. As she had been away recently, they could still work under great pressure and aplished


    their business targets sessfully. She decided to give all of them a holiday after the big promotion


    waspleted.


    "Where have you been recently? I haven''t seen you often." Saul took the coffee and asked.


    It had been a good while since hest met her.


    "I just asked for leave because of some issues!" She said, "But you''re really amazing. I found my


    bracelet." She was so happy that she couldn''t hide her joy on her face, which was rather catching.


    "That''s great!" Saul said, "I know you will find it!"


    They walked shoulder to shoulder towards the depths of the park.


    Natalie stopped and said, "I''ll go to Zone B and walk this way. Thanks!"


    Saul also stopped, "Well, I''m going to Zone B to pick up the documents. I''ll help you carry the coffee!"


    "That won''t be necessary!" She waved his hand and said, "It must be out of the way. I won''t bother you


    to do it."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "Leave them to me!" Saul had already pinched the rope on the outer packaging of the coffee with his


    hands.


    She just wanted to say something.


    The insistent car horns were just heard behind them.


    A car wasing.


    What was wrong with the driver!


    How could he drive here?


    She turned around and just wanted to show her dissatisfaction with her gaze. As she found that it was


    a Maybach and looked at the license te number, immediately she restrained her look.


    The ck Maybach didn''t stop until it showed up in front of them.


    The car window was slowly wound down.


    Kendrick''s expressionless face just appeared.

 Chapter 158 Dont Come On To Her

    Chapter 158 Don''t Come On To Her


    Chapter 158 Don''t Come On To Her


    Kendrick never wore his heart on his sleeve. But now, all over his handsome face, from his eyebrows to


    his eyes, showed that he was in an extremely bad mood!


    Wasn''t it outrageous to paw her like that in broad daylight?


    Even though he really wanted Natalie to get in the car immediately, he still suppressed his temper.


    With so many people around, he had to save her face.


    Therefore, he raised his hand to the car window and lowered his eyes, showing an air of stern


    superiority. He nced at the face of the boy in front of him straightly and opened his thin lips to call


    the boy''s name urately, "Saul!"


    As Saul''s name was called out, he nodded and lowered his eyes, not daring to speak loudly.


    "Has the first draft of the design beenpleted?" Kendrick raised his eyebrows and said in a bad


    tone, "It''s the deadline to hand in today!"


    As the structural adjustments had been made in Ramsey Group recently, the artificial intelligence new


    energy vehicles and semiconductor chips were all integrated and nned by Kendrick.


    Now he was the highest and the only director of the group.


    He also got Saul''s internship certificate.


    "Not yet." Saul replied honestly, "Some details still need revising in the final draft."


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    "Then what are you doing here?"


    Saul was stunned by Kendrick''s stern and cold tone.


    He was arranged by the Williamson family to be an intern in Ramsey Group and also participated in


    staff meetings because of his status. At that time, Kendrick spoke at the meeting with a calm tone


    throughout. Although he said harshly, he didn''t have much mood swing.


    As a boy who had just left school, Saul could only bite the bullet and answer when he was questioned


    like this, "My colleague just bought me a cup of coffee and I wanted to help her carry the coffee back to


    the workce." He pointed to Natalie''s handbag and said, "That is quite heavy!"


    Colleagues needed to be friendly and care about each other, which was something written in the


    employee code of conduct.


    Saul didn''t think that there was something wrong with his answer.


    He felt that Kendrick couldn''t find fault with it even though he really wanted to.


    But he was young after all. To his surprise, Kendrick smiled lightly as he heard that. And then he turned


    to look at Natalie and asked her calmly, "Do you need his help?"


    His tone changed again, bing gentle and kind.


    However, Natalie heard what he had said and got another meaning, which was something like, "Don''t


    you dare say that you need Saul''s help?"


    She could have just slipped away and left Saul facing the storm alone. But she was afraid of being


    misunderstood and thus stayed.


    Sure enough, she just couldn''t run away.


    "Oh, that won''t be necessary!" Natalie reacted quickly, "It''s not that heavy. Well, I can carry it by


    myself." She nced at the time and said, "I have to go to the morning meeting."


    And then she turned around and left without looking back.


    Kendrick''s gaze fell on Saul''s face again. His look was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he said harshly,


    "Did you hear that? She doesn''t need it!"


    "Don''te on to her! Why don''t you spend that time and energy on your work so that the design draft


    will not be sent back for repeated revisions!" These were thest words he told Saul. And then he


    closed the car window and directly asked the driver to drive away.


    Saul was stunned. He pinched the strap of his backpack with both hands and was at a loss a bit.


    Before he worked in the group, he had heard some judgements of Kendrick.


    Kendrick was gentle, but rather strict and serious about his work.


    Now that was correct indeed!


    But he was not gentle at all!


    ...


    There were a few boys and girls from political families having internships in Ramsey Group.


    It was their way to enrich their lifes.


    They could just develop some contacts.


    And the group could also expand its influence and voice.


    Despite the ups and downs in politics, the Ramsey Group had always stood firm and gradually grasped


    the economic lifeline of Hamgrad.


    Even though Rnd deliberately suppressed the power of the group, the Williamson family still sent


    Saul in for an internship.


    Compared to otherme ducks, Saul was rather awesome, especially in his own professional field.


    His design draft was revised and then sent to Kendrick for final review.


    As Kendrick was clear that business was business, he didn''t make things difficult for Saul after revising


    some details and let him carry it out immediately.


    Nigel printed out Saul''s resume and handed it to Kendrick, saying, "His internship will end in January


    next year and he needs your personal rmendation letter as an application material for studying


    abroad."


    Kendrick thumbed through the resume and found that Saul was the alumni of Natalie but they had


    different majors.


    The Quinn family handled the withdrawal procedures for Natalie on the grounds that she was unwell.


    "Mr. Frank Williamson himself just found the chairman and arranged for his grandson to work here as


    an intern." Nigel reported, "Ms. Williamson wille back from studying abroad next year and might


    also work here!"


    Two old men from two families must have agreed secretly.


    "Is he the grandson?" asked Kendrick.


    "He follows his mother''s surname!" Nigel exined, "He is the president''s nephew!"


    Kendrick pushed the resume away.


    He didn''t find the arrangement of nepotism distasteful unless they kept their noses clean, which was


    the premise.


    ...


    Natalie held a meeting all morning.


    She was called to Kendrick ''s office for lunch at noon.


    As she thought of what had happened in the morning, she felt that Kendrick would get even with her.


    But he wouldn''t go so far, would he!


    She just refused Saul so clearly. She always kept a distance from the male colleagues in thepany


    and didn''t have any personal rtionships with them except for work. She had also mentioned that she


    was in love and got married, although it seemed that nobody believed it.


    But Saul just helped her take coffee.


    And he hadn''t picked up the coffee yet!


    If Kendrick became angry about it, she would also get cross!


    After brainstorming the small drama all the way, Natalie walked into the CEO''s office with a poker face.


    As Nigel saw her halfway, he thought that his boss might make some big mistake and upset her, and


    that she thus came to find fault now.


    He took the lead and bravely rushed up, "Here you are, Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey is waiting for you to


    have lunch in the office. Well, he can''t keep a thing down without you!"


    Natalie stopped and nced at Nigel with repulsion.


    She just hadn''t seen him in the past few days.


    How could he be so cheesy?


    She restrained her look and said, "I''ll ask him if he is like this!"


    Nigel responded cleverly, "Definitely he won''t admit it. But he is ording to my observation."


    She looked at him with repulsion again.


    Finally, she pushed the door open and walked in.


    Kendrick was sitting on the sofa unpacking the delivery.


    There was Kettledolish ribeye steak, seaweed wrap and creamy mushroom soup for lunch.


    He just ordered the food based on her taste.


    A thinyer of beef was piled up in a high-end food bowl, steaming with the sweet aroma of onions.


    Around it was a hot spring egg. Its soft yolk was poked by him with a spoon and was spreading out.


    He mixed the beef rice and handed it to her, "It''s not hot now. Go ahead then."


    Immediately, she forgot everything and started eating happily.


    Just as she was about to eat it all, he gave her a spoon of soup and asked coldly, "You have gotten


    paid recently, haven''t you?"


    His circuitous routine always left Qu Xi unprepared.


    "I have!" She nodded with her eyes beaming with joy. She whispered, "Quite a lot!"


    As she dealt with the crisis in a timely mannerst month especially, her performance bonus only had


    just reached 10 thousand yuan.


    But she quickly became alert.


    He wouldn''t ask her to pay the money, would he!


    She just wanted to save the money and have her own small vault!


    "No wonder!" He tutted, "So you have the money to buy someone coffee?"

    Chapter 159 Let Him Give Up


    Chapter 159 Let Him Give Up


    Natalie was speechless, "..."


    "I have bought all my colleagues coffee." She exined, "Well, I happened to meet Saul in the morning


    and I just got a do for him."


    Kendrick understood her, "The friendship between the ssmates is rather deep and it is reasonable to


    pay for a cup of coffee for all of them!"


    She denied it, "It''s just an ordinary ssmate. Well, I haven''t seen him for a long time and I''ve almost


    forgotten about him."


    "You don''t remember him, but he really cares about you instead." He told her another fact thoughtfully,


    "Well, when you were on leave for the past few days, he had asked HR about you many times. He


    asked whether you were sick and wanted to visit you!"


    Obviously, Saul had some feelings for her as he did that.


    But he never spoke it out.


    Kendrick looked at her and found that she was stunned and didn''t believe it at all. He felt that she was


    cute, but it made him worried.


    How could she be so attractive?


    "I don''t know!"


    She had never heard of that.


    He just told her about it and gave her a warning.


    What Saul felt for her was never a simple ssmate friendship.


    Kendrick hummed and said to her gently but forcefully, "Then why don''t you make it clear and let him


    give up!"


    He lifted her chin slightly and stared at her eyes, not allowing her to have any hesitation.


    That was Kendrick.


    He would never be ambiguous or back down on anything that he considered important.


    It was the first time that Natalie had encountered such a matter. She frowned, unsure whether Kendrick


    was being oversensitive or Saul did have some feelings for her.


    But Kendrick was rather assertive.


    As for other issues, he could indulge her or even turn a blind eye.


    It didn''t matter who she wanted to punish or teach lessons, as long as she felt happy.


    However, as for love, he would ever leave any trouble behind.


    She scratched her hair and said, "What if he just thinks that we are ssmates and thus cares about


    me?"


    "You think it''s just a concern from a ssmate?"


    Did Nat know nothing about men at all?


    Kendrick still said with a good temper at the moment, "A man will merely care about a girl when he


    likes her. Get it?"


    He didn''t want to talk about it anymore. He touched her face and said, "I believe that you can handle it


    well."


    It was rather normal for someone smart and beautiful like her to be loved by another man.


    Kendrick knew it clearly.


    But he wouldn''t do anything to her!


    As for those men who couldn''t control their feelings and crossed the line, he would never soften his


    heart when he dealt with them.


    ...


    There would be a live broadcast of beauty and skin care at six o''clock in the evening.


    As it was near the end of the big promotion, the scale of the live broadcast was rather important.


    Natalie and Sadie went there together.


    "The live broadcast willst for six hours and there must be more lottery draws in the middle to mobilize


    the enthusiasm of the audience." Natalie instructed, "Does Nono run the second half live broadcast?"


    "Yeah. And a cute guy is allocated! He will be responsible for the lottery draw."


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    What he needed to do was to show up in the live broadcast and announce the winners.


    Nothing was important except for his good-looking face.


    "Is he from the live broadcast team?"


    "No. I ask for help from another team."


    They walked into the live broadcast room. Sadie just ran over from a distance and said, "God Saul, you


    Natalie took a closer look.


    Saul? Not again?


    Sadie turned back and whispered to Natalie, "This is Saul from the department of New Energy. Well, he


    is also very good at ying games and we all call him God Saul. He will make a guest appearance in


    the lottery draw. He has a good-looking face, doesn''t he?"


    Natalie''s lips curled down and she tried to calm herself down.


    Saul had clocked off, but he still came to another department to help with their work.


    To put it nicely, he didn''t care about the boundaries of different departments and had a strong sense of


    responsibility.


    As for the specific reason, well!


    Saul came over and said hello to both Sadie and Natalie. He asked kindly, "Have you had dinner? How


    about joining me for it?"


    "I have!" Natalie said in a rather cold voice.


    "Sure, why not!" Sadie couldn''t hide her excitement with her voice full of surprise even.


    Natalie and Sadie just looked at each other.


    Sadie was rather surprised, "Natalie, when do you have dinner?"


    Natalie waved her hand, "You two go. I''m not hungry!"


    "Aren''t you?" Sadie asked her again, "Shall I pack some food for you?"


    Natalie just pushed Sadie away and whispered in her ear, "Just seize the opportunity I have created for


    you. I don''t want to y gooseberry."


    "Why don''t we admire the view of a handsome man together? Well, I''m not selfish at all." said Sadie


    generously.


    Natalie was speechless, "..."


    "Then we go there first and we will pack it for youter."


    "Right. You go then!" Natalie beckoned them to leave quickly, "I''ll check the discount again!"


    The live streaming equipment next to her was undergoing debugging now.


    A pile of densely packed wires on the ground hadn''t been collected yet.


    The colleague in charge of debugging stepped on the electric wire identally and the live streaming


    rack just fell down towards Natalie.


    "Watch out!"


    Suddenly a few sounds were heard in the live broadcast room.


    Natalie smelt the danger. Subconsciously, she protected her head and was about to sidestep, but she


    found that someone had rushed over and raised his hand to block the falling equipment.


    A muffled sound was heard.


    Natalie turned her face.


    She felt that there was nothing she could do to clear her name this time.


    ...


    Natalie calmed down quickly and checked whether Saul was all right.


    She found that his right hand was swollen badly. Obviously, he just broke it.


    The live streaming equipment was rather heavy.


    Saul just used his hand to prevent the equipment from hitting her directly. He was a bit silly, wasn''t he?


    Immediately, Natalie asked Sadie to apany her to the hospital for examination and treatment,


    while she would stay in the live broadcast room to check the equipment and supervise the safety,


    making sure that the live broadcast could start on time with no dy.


    At eight o''clock, Sadie told Natalie that Saul''s right hand was broken and was now being treated.


    Probably, he needed hospitalization.


    "Then it will be treated as work-rted injury and our department will pay the bill." Natalie said, "Just


    keep hispany! I wille hereter!"


    Sadie sent her a sticker which meant she had no idea whether tough or cry.


    The live broadcast ended at ten o''clock. Natalie called Kendrick and told him what had happened


    generally.


    Kendrick remained silent for a moment.


    "Was the injury serious?"


    "He broke his hands and needed hospitalization."


    Saul was injured?


    Kendrick pressed his brow.


    Actually, it was not something small.


    After all, he had special status and he had the support of the Williamson family.


    As she got no answer from him for a long time, she didn''t know what he was thinking about. She was a


    bit anxious. As she was just about to speak, he said, "Don''t worry, Nat. I will go there with you!"

    Chapter 160 Kendrick Protected His Wife Powerfully


    Natalie drove to Prosperity Hospital immediately and went directly to the orthopedics department, only


    to find that the whole corridor was blocked.


    The ck-clothed bodyguards with severity stopped anyone who wanted to get close.


    She frowned and called Sadie again, but no one answered.


    She then just stopped two nurses and asked what was going on.


    But they were hesitant to speak, obviously not wanting to cause any trouble.


    Natalie didn''t make things difficult for them. As she walked around the corridor, she heard one of them


    saying, "Was the girl just now brought in?"


    "They might cause her some trouble. Well, I heard that Mr. Williamson got injured because of her."


    Immediately, she caught one of them and asked, "Where did they take the girl?"


    Seeing that the nurse didn''t answer, she then opened the text bubble and showed it, "Should Mr.


    Ramseye here and ask in person?"


    Kendrick told her that he was almost there.


    "It''s... on the top floor!"


    Natalie took the elevator to the top floor of the hospital without saying anything, and sure enough, she


    heard the quarrels from the conference room at the end of the corridor.


    There were two bodyguards standing outside the door. As they saw hering, they stopped her


    immediately, "Sorry. No one is allowed to be here!"


    She raised her eyebrows: "How dare you stop me?"


    Those bodyguards were nomittal.


    There was crying inside, "No one instructed me. It was not intentional."


    It was Sadie.


    "Smack-"


    A stinging p could be heard from the room.


    Without further ado, Natalie dragged a chair next to her directly and threw it at two bodyguards, "Get


    out of the way!"


    The chair made a great vibration when it hit the door.


    The door opened from the inside and the face of a sullen middle-aged woman appeared at that


    moment.


    She was dressed in a ck suit. Her hair was coiled up, looking rather cold.


    "Shoo her away!" The woman snapped.


    And then she was pulled aside vigorously by Natalie and stumbled.


    Natalie took the opportunity to walk towards the meeting room and then she saw that Sadie fell


    helplessly on the ground with disheveled hair. As she was covering her face, Natalie knew clearly that


    she was confused because of the resounding p.


    "Sadie!" Natalie walked over and knelt down to help her up.


    Sadie struggled to turn to look at her. Her cheeks were severely swollen and her face was covered with


    nosebleeds. She blinked and tears poured down her face, "It was not intentional. I really didn''t see the


    line on the ground!"


    She was just a girl in her early twenties.


    With a humble family background and in looking, she was just an inconspicuous person among all


    human beings. As she had never been in that kind of situation before, she was so frightened that she


    shook her head a lot. She grabbed Natalie''s hand and said, "I really didn''t see it, and I didn''t mean to


    harm Saul. Sorry, don''t... don''t let me go to jail please."


    Her hand was trembling.


    It was obvious that she was rather terrified.


    Natalie held back her anger and wiped Sadie''s face with a tissue, "Don''t be scared. You won''t go to


    jail."


    She could roughly guess the truth at the moment.


    It must be the woman in the ck suit who threatened Sadie just now.


    Natalie stood up and calmed down, saying, "What happened today was an ident. Saul helped to run


    the live broadcast, but was identally injured by the equipment. He was immediately arranged to


    The woman in a suit scolded with a poker face, "ident? Are you seeing it as an ident?" She


    pointed to Natalie with her fingers, "Saul''s hand is seriously injured. He has anguage test at the end


    of the month which rtes to studying abroad. What if his study was dyed? Can you afford it?"


    Natalie kept her tone as calm as possible, "Please calm down. We will arrange the best doctor to give


    him treatments and all the expenses will be fully borne by the group. If you have any other


    requirements, please feel free to ask and we will try our best to make up for it!"


    The woman in ck didn''t reveal who she was. As she heard Natalie''s clear words, she looked Natalie


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    up and down, saying, "Compensation? Whatpensation? Money? You think the Williamson family is


    short of money?"


    Natalie said word by word with a calm look, "Maybe you are not short of money, but that is a


    reasonable way for us to solve the problem."


    "I will notify the group''s legal department and hold you ountable. And I will sue you ording to the


    "Then we will also do the same as you just wantonly beat, insulted and threatened my colleague!"


    Natalie said sharply.


    The woman smiled disdainfully, "What an arrogant girl. Prosecute? Who are you going to sue? Well, let


    me tell you the truth, even if you two die here today, no one will investigate! At most, someone might


    announce that you lose footing from a building. Do you understand?"


    "I don''t!" Natalie had lost all her patience at the moment and decided to leave here with Sadie.


    What had happened was under surveince.


    It was an ident, instead of a deliberate injury.


    The woman beckoned those bodyguards to stop them. As she looked at Natalie, she suddenly


    remembered that she had just been pushed by Natalie and she smiled maliciously, "Saul just broke his


    hand. Then why don''t you use your hand to pay for it?"


    Natalie looked up with a sharp gaze, "How dare you?"


    "Break their hands!"


    As the woman just said that, the door was pushed open with a bang.


    Immediately, a dense group of bodyguards came in.


    Sadie was so scared that she trembled and hid behind Natalie a bit.


    But soon she realized that it was not her hand that the woman wanted to break.


    The wheelchair slowly passed by and a cold and deep voice swelled at the door, "Whose hands do you


    want to break?"


    It was Kendrick.


    Suddenly, Natalie calmed down from her bumpy heartbeat at the moment.


    She knew he woulde.


    Sadie didn''t expect that the big boss would show up here. Did hee here to save them?


    He folded his hands on his chest and a uprush of anger showed up in his eyes which couldn''t be


    concealed at all. He raised his eyebrows, beckoning Natalie toe over.


    Natalie quickly walked towards him.


    Immediately, Brock gave her a chair so that she could sit down.


    Kendrick took her hand and whispered, "Is everything all right?"


    "Not in my heart." answered she.


    She was hurt by the woman''s threats.


    He looked up to the woman in a ck suit and then to Natalie. He suppressed the gust of anger in his


    throat and asked Natalie, "Did she threaten you?"


    "She did. She said that nobody would care even if we died here."


    After hearing that, he stroked her hair and said, "Just go out with your colleague then and leave it to


    me!"


    Some scenes might not be her style to watch.


    She nodded obediently and said, "All right!"


    ...


    When Sadie was taken out, she waspletely confused.


    Natalie asked her to sit down and gave her a ss of water, "It''s fine."


    Sadie drank the water and calmed herself down. And then she asked, "Why did Mr. Ramseye


    here?"


    Natalie pursed her lips and said, "It involves the personal safety of his employees and he won''t leave it


    alone!"


    Sadie nodded and agreed with Natalie. But she felt that something was wrong after thinking about it.


    Mr. Ramsey just held Natalie''s hand and asked if Natalie was okay, didn''t he!


    She raised her head and looked at Natalie unbelievably.


    "Could it be that..."


    Sadie ignored the pain in her cheeks and eximed in surprise, "You?"


    She lowered her voice, "Are you in some kind of rtionship that I thought?"


    Natalie didn''t know what kind of rtionship Sadie was thinking about.


    Immediately, something urred to her. She covered her mouth and let go of her hand after a long


    while. She kept apologizing and crying, "Sorry, I know nothing about it. I have said something improper


    to you before. I''m so sorry!"


    "I have a bad memory and I don''t remember what you have said. Look, Sadie, I will call a car for you


    first and you can take a leave tomorrow." said Natalie.


    What had happened was currently more troublesome than she had thought.


    They walked towards the elevator.


    As the door was opened, a youngdy with a khaki cashmere coat came out. She knocked Natalie''s


    shoulder directly and just ran to the end of the corridor with high-heeled shoes.

 Chapter 161 Kendrick Is Mean

    Chapter 161 Kendrick Is Mean


    Chapter 161 Kendrick Is Mean


    With a "ding" sound, the elevator door closed.


    Natalie smelled ady''s perfume in the elevator, which should have been left by the woman just now.


    She thought, "Why did shee to the top floor at this point?


    Is she also here for Saul?"


    Sadie covered her face and said, "That old witch pped me indiscriminately, saying that I intentionally


    hurt Saul."


    "It was an ident, Sadie!" Natalieforted her, "Everything has been recorded by the surveince


    camera, so don''t worry."


    "How could they be so arrogant and rude?" Sadie was angry, but she suddenly thought of another


    possibility.


    She said in her heart, "Saul Williamson!


    Is he a member of the Williamson family?"


    She clutched Natalie''s sleeve nervously. "Natalie, have I offended someone I shouldn''t have this time?"


    "Mr. Ramsey will handle it well. You''re an employee of the Ramsey Group, so he will protect you."


    Natalie''s voice was calm and firm.


    After saying that, Natalie helped Sadie stop a taxi and watched her off.


    She then returned to the hospital.


    Looking at the building, she thought, "I really didn''t expect it to be such a big deal.


    The woman mentioned the Williamson family.


    I remember that the Ramsey family controls the economic lifeline, while the Williamson family is a


    political family.


    With the election of Rnd, the Williamson family has be even more prosperous in recent years."


    Natalie sat downstairs and waited for a while. Although she didn''t know how Kendrick was going to


    handle this matter, she spected that a rational and calm person like him would definitely handle it


    well.


    Suddenly, her cell phone rang.


    It was a message from Kendrick.


    [Kendrick: Saul''s surgery has beenpleted. Go over and check the situation. I will be there soon.]


    When it came to important matters, Kendrick was always rational.


    Natalie took the elevator to Saul''s ward.


    There was a thickyer of ster on his right arm. When Natalie came in, she even saw him taking a


    photo of it with his phone while saying, "What text should I add when I post it online?"


    Seeing that, Natalie couldn''t help but roast in her heart, "Well, he''s really a simple-minded person.


    Does he know how many people are involved in this incident?"


    With that in mind, Natalie interrupted him, "How are you going to handle this matter?"This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Saul was confused. "What else can I do? Rest in bed for recovery, of course!"


    "I mean," Natalie paused and said, "are you going to hold to ount?"


    "No. I saw the live-stream device fall down, so I blocked it, or it would hit you both. It seemed like Sadie


    identally stepped on the line!" Saul didn''t care much. "Will thepany give me a reward for


    bravery?"


    "Of course!" Natalie said, "All medical expenses will be covered by our department!"


    "Okay. I need to take a leave. I won''t be able to draw for about a month," said Saul as he leaned


    against the bed.


    He seemed to be quite happy.


    "Can you pour a ss of water for me?"


    Natalie poured him a ss of warm water and handed it to him.


    They were alone in the ward, and Saul grew bolder. He didn''t take it over but said, "I can''t lift my arms!"


    Natalie was confused.


    "What, do you even want her to feed you?"


    As soon as Saul had finished speaking, a cold male voice sounded outside the door, mercilessly


    shattering his secret fancy thoughts.


    He recognized the voice as belonging to the man who had reprimanded him in the morning.


    Saul raised his left arm, took the ss of water, and turned his face to drink it himself.


    Kendrick hade so promptly that Natalie could not help but suspect that he had been waiting


    outside for a long time only to humiliate Saul at this moment.


    He came alone, so Natalie immediately went to help him push the wheelchair.


    With a serious and slightly angry expression, Kendrick asked coldly, "Have you exined to your family


    how you got injured?"


    Saul turned back after drinking the water and said, "I didn''t even tell them about my injury!"


    His gaze fell on the tightly clenched hands of the two in front of him, and his mind instantly went nk.


    He could hardly believe what he saw.


    "You''re interning at the Ramsey Group, so how would your family not know that you''re injured?"


    Kendrick mocked, "I know that you''re brainless in drawing, but I didn''t expect you to be so stupid on


    such a matter. What else can you do? Host a live stream for a lucky draw and announce the list of


    winners?"


    His words were indeed mean.


    Therefore, Saul naturally could not bear it. He wanted to retort, but he didn''t know what to say for a


    moment.


    "You must make it clear to your family!" Kendrick forcefully ordered, "Don''t get your innocent colleagues


    implicated. If you want anypensation, we can go through the legal process. If you dare to retaliate


    privately, I will keep you from going abroad in your lifetime!"


    Even Natalie felt that Saul was a bit pitiful.


    Being scolded like this, Saul waspletely bewildered. He moved his lips and was about to speak.


    Just at that moment, someone pushed the door in.


    "Saul!"


    Natalie turned her head and looked over.


    It was the woman who had just bumped her shoulder in the elevator.


    She walked in and said, "I know what happened, and I will go help you exin it to Dad, Mom, and


    Grandpa so that they can rest assured. Just have a good rest to recover."


    "Elsie, are you here to visit me?"


    "Yes." The woman nodded with a smile and then introduced herself, "I am Saul''s elder sister, Elsie


    Williamson!"


    She turned her gaze to Kendrick, slightly bent, and said, "Cassie doesn''t know the truth and has always


    pampered Saul. Therefore, she kind of lost control of her temper and caused trouble for Mrs. Ramsey.


    I''m very sorry!"


    After saying that, she really bowed deeply to apologize to Natalie.


    "I will also arrange an apology gift for another girl. This matter is actually a misunderstanding, and we


    can''t let one person''s negligent behavior affect the rtionship between the Williamson family and the


    Ramsey family," said Elsie in a tactful manner.


    Natalie had met many people and always had a clear eye for people, so she immediately felt that Elsie


    must be something.


    After all, she was very flexible.


    Natalie smiled and said in a sharp tone, "This is not a misunderstanding. We have the surveince


    footage, and everything will be clear after we watch it. It''s just that someone is paranoid and has


    always been arrogant. Seeing that the other party was weak, she bullied her with no mercy. If you guys


    really mean to apologize, then why didn''t Cassie show up?"


    "She is slightly injured and couldn''te here with me." Elsie frowned and looked at Natalie.


    Meanwhile, she thought, "Is this woman pretending to know nothing?


    If I hadn''t arrived in time, Cassie might have been killed."


    At that moment, Kendrick said to Saul, "It''s over. I''ve applied for a retake of your dyed exam, so just


    take a good rest. You don''t need to go to thepany recently."


    Saul could only nod. "Okay!"


    ...


    After getting into the car, Natalie asked Kendrick, "Are they all the Williamson family?"


    "Yes." Kendrick rubbed the space between his eyebrows, feeling a bit tired. "He''s Rnd''s nephew."


    He was now addressing the president by name.


    Obviously, he was extremely angry with the Williamson family.


    Speaking of this, Kendrick asked her, "Why did you rush in without waiting for me?"


    "I knew you woulde, so there was nothing to be afraid of, but I still caused you trouble," said


    Natalie with her eyes slightly lowered.


    Kendrick lifted his finger and gently pressed it to her lips.


    He didn''t want her to say such words.


    Today, Kendrick had shown his rtionship with Natalie to Saul and warned the Williamson family to


    force Elsie to apologize in person. Apart from that, he had been trusted and relied on by Natalie.


    Therefore, he was very happy now.


    Natalie put her arms around his neck, and, as if thinking of something, she suddenly said, "You are


    really mean today. Saul has been scolded by you all day."


    "Shouldn''t I scold him?"


    Natalie chuckled in a low voice and kissed his chin. "Admit it, you''re jealous!"

 Chapter 162 Kendrick Is Jealous

    Chapter 162 Kendrick Is Jealous


    Chapter 162 Kendrick Is Jealous


    Kendrick was indeed jealous, even though he didn''t want to admit it.


    He couldn''t bear any man who had any feelings for Natalie trying to get close to her.


    However, he still had a sense of propriety even when he was jealous.


    After all, being too stingy would be unreasonable.


    He knew that Natalie would not like him to be so.


    In his eyes, she was a girl who was pure, outgoing, and withoutplex thoughts.


    Kendrick believed that she also had a sense of propriety and would not do things beyond boundaries,


    but he still couldn''t control his jealousy.


    The strong feelings and uncontroble possessiveness towards her, coupled with an unknown


    inferiority deep within him, had shattered his self-esteem.


    He was worried about losing Natalie.


    He was not mature or confident enough in his rtionship with her.


    It was contrary to his usual calmness and self-restraint.


    Silence and darkness fell upon the car at the moment.


    No one saw the emotion in his eyes.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Kendrick turned to look out of the car window and said in a calm voice, "I don''t like him getting close to


    you."


    In fact, it was not just Saul.


    He wanted to keep any man who coveted Natalie away from her.


    Natalie was stunned.


    She thought, "I can feel his love and tolerance, so I''ve always considered him the person I trust the


    most.


    I have never expected his possessiveness to be so strong.


    However, Saul really has nothing to do with me."


    Fearing that the more she tried to exin, the angrier Kendrick would be, she leaned back in her


    seat and remained silent for a moment. She then turned to look at him, but his gaze remained fixed on


    the night scene outside the window.


    ...


    The two remained silent even when they reached home.


    Kendrick went upstairs and returned to his bedroom on his own.


    Natalie was in the kitchen cooking instant noodles for herself. She took a bite and found it tasteless.


    She then dropped her spoon into the bowl and also went upstairs.


    After her bath, Natalie dried her hair and sat cross-legged on the bed for a long time thinking. Thest


    conversation she had with Kendrick on Line was a text message he sent her saying he had arrived at


    the hospital.


    She got up and went to knock at his door, but there was no response, so she directly opened it.


    Darkness filled the room.


    Only his shallow breathing was audible.


    Natalie went over by the moonlight, climbed into his bed, and poked him.


    Kendrick didn''t speak.


    "Are you not going to talk to me anymore?"


    He remained silent.


    He was still in the sulks.


    Natalie touched her hair and said, "Saul is just my ssmate and hasn''t said anything to me that goes


    beyond the boundaries. I cannot think too much, can I? Otherwise, will I not be too narcissistic?"


    She continued in her heart, "In fact, many people say behind my back that I''m short-tempered!"


    Kendrick raised his hand and turned on the light.


    Natalie''s eyes were dazzled, and she sat next to him with a depressed expression.


    "Why are your hands so cold?" Kendrick took her hands and found them cold.


    He directly grasped her wrists and wrapped her hands in his arms to warm them up.


    After a long time, he said, "Nat, he is a member of the Williamson family."


    The Williamson family and the Ramsey family seemed to have a friendly rtionship.


    However, in fact, the discord between them was quite deep.


    The two families were connected only by interest, and their rtionship might break off at any time.


    Therefore, Kendrick had always avoided getting too close to the Williamson family.


    "I see. He and I will never intersect in the future." Natalie sighed and continued, "Don''t be unhappy.


    Seeing you like this, I''m also not happy!"


    His emotions could always affect hers.


    "It''s all over!" Nataliey down beside him and shrank into his arms. "Don''t let outsiders influence our


    emotions. It''s not worth it."


    "Okay!" Kendrick nodded and then asked softly, "Are you scared today?"


    "I''m fine, but Sadie may have been quite scared," said Natalie calmly. She suddenly remembered


    something and asked, "Ms. Williamson said Cassie was injured. Is that so?"


    Cassie''s arm was broken, and she had been hung on the windowsill.


    Brock had done such things for Kendrick many times.


    "It''s normal to get injured in a conflict," said Kendrick casually.


    Natalie was worried. "Then will this matter affect you?"


    "Elsie has already apologized and admitted that it was their fault. Don''t worry, I have already handled it


    properly. We''llpensate them if they need it, and that''s all!" said Kendrick in a calm tone.


    Natalie was finally relieved.


    She believed that Kendrick could handle everything calmly and rationally, without leaving any future


    trouble.


    Natalie kissed his cheek and smiled with pursed lips. "Honey, just put your heart at ease. I am not a


    goddess whom everybody loves. Even if I were, I''m yours now."


    She had always had a sense of propriety.


    That was her motto for interacting with people.


    "She is not a goddess that everyone loves, but she is the only goddess in my heart," Kendrick thought.


    And, his goddess was now thrusting her feet into his arms.


    "My feet are also cold. Warm them up for me as well," said Natalie as she bent her knees.


    Under his indulgence, she directly stepped on his abs.


    It was now winter.


    Therefore, Natalie really needed such a warm ce for her feet.


    The light from the wallmp was dim and yellow. Kendrick was lying sideways, and several buttons on


    his pajamas had been kicked loose by her, exposing his well-built abs. It was actually a seductive


    scene, but there was a pair of small feet on his abs. While kicking him carelessly, Natalie said, "It


    seems to be the warmest ce."


    Kendrick pulled the quilt up a bit, grabbed her ankle, and told her, "This is actually not the warmest


    ce."


    "Where is it then?" Natalie asked curiously, "Under your armpit?"


    Kendrick took her ankles in one hand and held them with his thigh. Then he pulled her over and asked,


    "Is it warmer here?"


    Natalie fell silent.


    The light was still on.


    Therefore, the shock on her face was evident.


    She thought, "When did his legs be so strong?


    He just had surgery less than half a month ago.


    How well exactly has his legs recovered?


    Cayden reports the same content to me every day, saying that Kendrick has been training very hard


    and following the n without over-exercise."


    Her expression was fully captured by him, and Kendrick chuckled, "Do you want to warm your hands


    too?"


    Hearing that, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "Is he asking me to put my hands between his legs to


    warm them?"


    Natalie blushed and tried to move her feet away.


    However, Kendrick''s grip was so strong that she could not even move. It was the first time she had felt


    the strength of his legs intuitively. It surprised her, but it also made her feel that something was wrong.


    She realized that she was not able to confront him at all.


    There was a great disparity of strength between men and women, and she finally understood it now.


    "Are you sure you want to move again?" Kendrick sensed her thoughts and issued a warning.


    Natalie sensed danger and softened her voice, saying, "No!"


    She didn''t dare to be mischievous at the moment. She could only shrink up and say, "That''s it! I''m very


    sleepy."


    It was already three o''clock in the morning.


    Natalie leaned on the pillow and soon fell asleep in his warm embrace.


    Kendrick stared at her for a long time before raising his hand to turn off the light.


    Her long hair draped over her shoulders.


    Her face was beautiful and clean.


    Looking at her, he thought, "Her face is not that stunning, but it can captivate my heart and manipte


    my emotions. All my joys and sorrows are due to her.


    She is the goddess of my soul.


    However, I not only want to be devout to my goddess. I also want to defile her, making her sob and cry


    for mercy."


    As soon as Kendrick had thought so, he felt a sharp pain in his waist from leaning too long.


    He mocked himself in his heart, "Well, looks like I shouldn''t have such evil thoughts.


    I should clear my mind!"

 Chapter 163 Natalies Misunderstanding

    Chapter 163 Natalie''s Misunderstanding


    Chapter 163 Natalie''s Misunderstanding


    Kendrick arranged for Saul with the best ward and caretakers.


    All expenses were covered by the Ramsey Group.


    The caretakers not only looked after Saul''s daily diet but also supervised his studies.


    It had been specifically requested by Kendrick.


    After all, Saul was about to study abroad, so the exam couldn''t be dyed.


    His right hand was injured.


    However, his left hand could still move, so doing multiple-choice papers was not a problem.


    His mouth could also move, so he could still practice his oral speaking every day.


    Kendrick had really done all he could to get Saul upied.


    Saul really hadn''t expected his boss to be so concerned about his studies that he even had all the


    simted test papers prepared for him.


    He felt as if he were receiving the care of an elder.


    He felt veryplicated.


    Kendrick promised to write him a good rmendation.


    He also told him not to worry about the internship certificate.


    Of course, the premise was that he had to stay away from Natalie.


    After yesterday, Saul''s feelings for Natalie had beenpletely shattered. He did not know until then


    that Natalie had married Kendrick. Looking back now, he felt that Natalie was not the same as she had


    been when they first met.


    He couldn''t help but think in confusion, "Did she really get sick and lose her memory?


    Is that why she has changed a lot?"


    ...


    On Friday afternoon, Kendrick had just finished a meeting.


    When he returned to his office, Rose reported that Elsie had sent over fruits, flowers, and tickets to the


    Saab fashion show to apologize to Natalie.


    Kendrick raised his hand. "Ask Mrs. Ramsey if she is willing to ept them and then handle them


    ording to her meaning."


    "Yes, Mr. Ramsey."


    "How did the Williamson family offend you?" asked Spencer from behind Rose.


    Kendrick entered the office and said, "It''s not a big deal."


    Spencer curled his lips. "I''m not worthy of knowing, right?"


    The two of them stopped by the sofa.


    Kendrick moved himself onto the sofa and sat down. "What does it have to do with you?"


    Spencer was silent for a moment.


    Then he said in surprise, "Isn''t Elsie still studying abroad? Has she returned early?"


    "Maybe."


    "Will she also be put into the Ramsey Group?"


    "It''s up to my grandfather and her grandfather!" said Kendrick in a casual tone. He took out a document


    and continued, "The candidate for the semiconductor chief engineer has not been determined by now.


    What are you guys doing?"


    Spencer looked aside. "Don''t ask me. I''m just a consultant, and I''m just back from an exploration!" He


    said excitedly, "This time we''ve really detected the existence of parallel worlds. There''s definitely a


    response!"


    In scientific matters, Kendrick remained in awe.


    "That''s good. When you figure it out, you can travel freely through time and space."


    "By the way, do you remember what I told youst time? This is a project led by President Williamson."


    "And then?"


    "He actually has a daughter! Do you know that?" Spencer''s face lit up with gossip.


    Kendrick interrupted him, "Stop your jumping mind. I am not interested in the gossip and secrets of the


    Williamson family. I just want to ask you, when will the candidate be confirmed?"


    Spencer hesitated.


    Just at that moment, Rose came in with coffee, fruits, and cupcakes.


    Spencer reached out for the cupcakes but was knocked on by a stack of documents, then he heard


    Kendrick say in a cold and sharp voice, "Don''t touch them!"


    Grievance filled Spencer''s heart in an instant.


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Kendrick pushed the fruit tray in front of him. "Eat this!"


    Spencer said, "I just want to eat cupcakes!"


    Kendrick was almost disgusted by him and wanted to pick up the document to p him in the face.


    "What, are they for your wife? Am I not allowed to eat them? Kendrick, are we friends or not?"


    Spencer was angry and refused to eat either of them. He reached for the coffee, and, as his hand


    trembled with anger, he sshed some of it on Kendrick''s leg.


    Kendrick was noticeably scalded and gasped. He moved himself over a bit and picked up a piece of


    tissue to wipe himself.


    "Sorry!" Spencer apologized and then realized something was wrong. He put his coffee down on the


    marble countertop and said in a much louder voice, "Kendrick, have your legs..."


    At the important moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Have they regained consciousness?"


    Kendrick nodded.


    "What the hell? Is this a medical miracle?" Spencer couldn''t believe it and asked, "Can you stand up


    and walk?''


    "Almost."


    Spencer stood up excitedly from the sofa, paced around in ce, and consciously zipped his mouth.


    Then he said, "I will keep my mouth shut."


    He and Kendrick had known each other from an early age, and both were of high intelligence and


    simr interests. Theyter studied abroad together and developed a deep friendship.


    Seeing that Kendrick was now regaining consciousness of his legs, Spencer was unspeakably excited.


    He sat down again and held out his hand. "Let me touch them!"


    Kendrick pushed him away with disdain. "Get away from me."


    Spencer leaned forward again. "Just let me touch your legs!"


    He wanted to examine carefully what kind of medical miracle it was.


    Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside.


    As soon as Natalie entered, she saw her husband barricaded and harassed in the corner of the sofa.


    "What are you two doing?" Her eyes widened instantly.


    Upon hearing the voice, Spencer knew who was there. He quickly sat up straight and pretended that


    nothing had happened.


    Natalie had alreadye over and asked him, "Why did you touch his legs?"


    "Can''t I touch them?"


    "No!" said Natalie decisively.


    She thought Spencer was crazy.


    "Well, I just want to touch them." Spencer took the opportunity to vent his anger.


    He said in his heart, "He didn''t allow me to eat the cupcakes.


    And she is now preventing me from touching his legs.


    Unfortunately, I won''t listen to her."


    At the thought of it, Spencer even shook Kendrick''s knee with a defiant look.


    Kendrick''s legs were still in recovery and needed to be gently attended to. Therefore, seeing this,


    Natalie began to roll up her sleeves and wanted to beat Spencer up.


    Spencer even said in a provocative tone, "What, can''t I touch him?" He reached out and tried to touch


    Kendrick''s legs again, but he was kicked away by Kendrick.


    Spencer couldn''t help but roast in his mind, "Damn it, it seems that his legs have not only regained


    consciousness.


    Looks like the motor nerves have also begun to recover. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to kick me."


    Kendrick pulled Natalie over to sit down and said, "I didn''t let him touch my legs."


    His implied meaning was that he was not dirty yet.


    Natalie ordered Spencer, "Go sit opposite us!"


    Spencer sat down opposite and picked up the document. "I''ll go back and decide on the candidate. I


    won''t bother you two." With that, he stuffed a grape in his mouth and fled.


    Natalie, still excited, nced at the door and then turned her face to ask Kendrick, "Is Prof. Mercado


    a..."


    Kendrick raised his hand and held a grape to her lips. He then asked, "A what?"


    "You two are just bros, right?" Natalie took the grape but did not put it in her mouth.


    All she wanted to do now was to figure this out.


    She thought, "Kendrick doesn''t have any friendly rtionship with other women, which I''m very certain


    of.


    But Spencer!


    This man!


    He''s different!"


    Kendrick was stunned for a moment.


    "What?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you suspecting?"


    Natalie immediately said, "I''m not suspecting you! But..."


    She didn''t know how to put her worries into words.


    Kendrickughed silently and pushed her against the corner of the sofa. He then ced one hand on


    the armrest behind her and asked with a smile, "But what?"


    Natalie shrank back and tentatively said, "You should be..."


    She stopped her messy thoughts and asked, "What were you two doing just now? Why did he want to


    touch you?"

 Chapter 164 Natalie Is Frightened

    Chapter 164 Natalie Is Frightened


    Chapter 164 Natalie Is Frightened


    Kendrick replied, "He wanted to have a look at my legs..."


    "Did he even want to look at your legs?" Natalie struggled up from the sofa and said incredulously, "Did


    you show him?"


    "Of course not!"


    Kendrick naturally didn''t know that Natalie was thinking about something strange. He frankly said, "He


    saw that my legs had regained consciousness, so..."


    "So he wanted to touch you?"


    Kendrick fell silent.


    He felt like the more he tried to exin it, the more misunderstood it became.


    Natalie said with disdain, "How could he do that? You''re already married, so shouldn''t he keep a


    distance from you?"


    She frowned and asked, "Is he gay?"


    Kendrick remained silent.


    He had known Spencer for over twenty years and had never thought about this.


    And, he had never thought it necessary to think about that.


    "Does he have a girlfriend?"


    "He used to have one!"


    Natalie thought of Spencer''s usual look and felt that he was somewhat phony sometimes. She reached


    out to hook Kendrick''s neck and said, "He''s very strange. Be careful of him!"


    Kendrick finally got it.


    He reached out and flicked on Natalie''s forehead. "He''s a man, so am I. That''s nonsense. What are


    you thinking?"


    Although Kendrick had always stayed away from women for so many years, he was not gay and knew


    very well who he had feelings for.


    "It''s not nonsense!" Natalie said solemnly, "Love is not about gender."


    Kendrick was speechless for a moment.


    Then he said, "I have known him for twenty years. We studied abroad together, and we..."


    What he had meant to say was that there was nothing between them, that they were no more than


    friends.


    "Oh my god, you two have known each other for twenty years and even studied abroad together?"


    Natalie said in an exaggerated tone, "You two have a very special rtionship. I knew it!"


    Kendrick did not know how to exin it now.


    After all, there was no such thing, and the more he exined it, the stranger it seemed.


    He looked at her lips for a while. Then he directly sped her waist, pushed her against the sofa, and


    kissed her.


    The office immediately quieted down.


    All her words were forced to be swallowed back.


    Being kissed by him, Natalie fell into a trance. As the floor heating was on, she soon felt her back


    sweat.


    "Is that enough?" After a long time, Kendrick finally moved his lips away from hers. Then he gently


    pointed his finger at her lips and warned in a low voice, "Don''t think about such nonsense. If you''re still


    worried, I''ll notify you in advance next time hees."


    After a pause, he added, "He''s the technical consultant in the semiconductor project that is about to


    Natalie naturally wouldn''t really think that there was something between the two men.


    After all, the original book also mentioned that Spencer was the only good friend Kendrick had with


    whom to talk.


    She knew that it was rare to have a few good friends in life.


    Therefore, she didn''t want her inappropriate jokes to ruin their friendship. She said coquettishly, "I was


    just joking."


    She continued in her heart, "I was intentionally acting jealous, just to see if he would be nervous and


    how he would react.


    He was jealous.


    Therefore, I want to make us even."


    Natalie put away her exaggerated expression and said, "I know you two are only bros. It''s just that..."


    She just wanted to see him exin in a panic.


    Kendrick read her mind. With a faint smile, he leaned over and kissed her again. "It''s just that you need


    to be given a lesson!"


    Natalie was leaning back on the sofa without any precautions, so her ankles were caught and wrapped


    around his waist.


    The next moment, with a pull, she was held by the waist and forced to sit on hisp.


    It was now winter, and she was wearing leggings and a skirt. Since she was deliberately stuck by him,


    she naturally could feel something wrong under the thin fabric of his suit pants.


    It was obvious.


    Natalie was frightened.


    Kendrick was still kissing her recklessly.


    When he saw her retreat, he pressed against her waist.


    After a while, he left her lips and pinched her face. He looked into her eyes with his deep eyes, let out a


    low breath, and asked in her ear, "Did you feel it?"


    Natalie''s face instantly turned red.


    She didn''t know whether to nod or not.


    She couldn''t help but think, "This man can really be very evil sometimes."


    She was afraid that he would make an even more exacting request. After all, they were in his office,


    and it was still daylight. Therefore, she hurriedly patted his shoulder and said, "I was really joking. Your


    legs have not fully recovered yet, so stop it."


    "I just want to hug you for a while, and nothing will be wrong," said Kendrick in an extremely hoarse


    voice.


    "I...I came here for a work report," Natalie immediately said seriously.


    Kendrick still held her in his arms. He reached out to tidy up his somewhat messy shirt cor and then


    took off his tie.


    "Go ahead. I''m listening!" He raised his eyebrows at her.


    "How can I report in this posture?" Natalie was speechless.


    It was indeed strange to do a work report face-to-face.


    "Then just forget it." Kendrick didn''t care about that.


    After all, he didn''t really want to listen to it now.


    Before Natalie could say more, he had blocked her lips.


    He immediately grabbed her wrist and pressed it against his belt. With his other hand, he sped her


    slender neck and drew her towards his chest. Then he leaned to whisper in her ear, "Untie it for me,


    okay?"


    His voice was cold and lustful.


    However, Natalie was sober now.


    She was shocked and said, "Are you crazy? It''s now daytime!


    "We''re now in your office! What if someonees in?"


    Kendrick reached for the tablet and tapped on the control button. In an instant, all the curtains in the


    room were slowly closed, the night lights were turned on, and the lock was upgraded to the highest


    level. No one could open the door from the outside.


    He then raised his eyebrows and looked at her.


    The implication was that it was now night and that no one woulde in.


    Natalie disagreed.


    Her born shyness and self-esteem did not allow her to agree.


    Therefore, she turned her face aside and said, "Stop it. I''m not used to it!"


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Her eyes were clearly filled with the fear of the unknown and the uncontroble.


    "Then let''s do what we didst time, okay?" Kendrick continued to coax her.


    "No, it will leave some smell," Natalie refused decisively.


    She still had to go to meet her colleaguester.


    Therefore, she felt it was embarrassing.


    Kendrick''s face darkened.


    However, Natalie didn''t care.


    She pushed him aside and sprang to the ground. After tidying up her cor, she casually nced over


    at his lower body and quickly looked aside. "Handle it yourself!"


    Kendrick''s face darkened even more. He coughed softly and managed to control himself.


    Now he was more and more unable to control himself, just like a young and inexperienced man without


    any self-restraint. He was always afraid that his goddess might run away with someone else and only


    wanted to make her his woman quickly.


    Natalie didn''t care about that, for she didn''t want him to be too insatiable.


    She nced at the time and said, "If you don''t want to listen to my report now, I''lle back


    tomorrow."


    After saying that, she wanted to turn around. Just at that moment, there was a loud knock at the door.


    Then a thick and elderly voice sounded, "Why do you lock the door? It''s now daytime!"


    Hearing that, Natalie thought in shock, "It''s Seth!


    Why is he here now?"


    She turned to look at her husband sitting on the sofa. After seeing how he looked now, she suddenly


    burst intoughter.


    She roasted in her heart, "I really want to ask if he''s embarrassed now!


    Anyway, this lecherous man deserves it!"


    There was another knock at the door from Seth. "Kendrick, what are you doing? Why don''t you let me


    in?"


    Natalieughed with a gloating expression, "Grandpa is here. How dare you lock him out? You''re


    done!"

 Chapter 165 Behave Yourself!

    Chapter 165 Behave Yourself!


    Chapter 165 Behave Yourself!


    Seeing that, Kendrick also chuckled. Then he looked up at her with a smile. "What are youughing


    at?"


    He kindly reminded her, "You''re also here."


    He then said in his heart, "We''ll have to face the embarrassment together.


    No one can run away, okay?"


    Kendrick grabbed her wrist and said, "How should we exin to Grandpa when hees inter?"


    Natalie fell silent.


    She couldn''t help but think, "How can he be so shameless?


    How dare he ask me with such a calm expression?


    It''s clearly all his fault, okay?


    I didn''t incite him."


    With that in mind, she said, "I don''t want to exin!" After thinking for a moment, she immediately said,


    "I can hide myself!"


    With that, she freed herself from Kendrick''s grasp and ran towards the lounge.


    She decided to leave Kendrick alone to deal with the embarrassing situation.


    Kendrick shook his head helplessly and thought, "What is she hiding from?


    We are not having an affair, okay?"


    Kendrick slowly moved himself to his wheelchair, pulled out a thin nket to cover his legs, and then


    went to his desk before raising the interior curtains and lowering the security level.


    Seth had tried his iris and fingerprint countless times, but he only got an illegal intrusion response.


    His face turned ck with anger.


    He hadn''t expected that there was a ce at the Ramsey Group that he could not enter.


    In the end, he seeded. He leaned on his cane and pushed the door in. Then he asked, "What are


    you doing here?"


    Kendrick said calmly, "I had a meeting all afternoon and wanted to take a break without being


    disturbed." He then respectfully said to Seth, "I didn''t know you woulde over, Grandpa!"


    Seth waved his hand and didn''t argue with him. He said, "I suddenly decided toe here. I have


    something to ask you." He walked up to Kendrick and stood in front of him. "What''s happened between


    you and the Williamson family?"


    Kendrick exined it to him and then said, "It has been handled properly."


    "Elsie specifically called to apologize to me. I thought something big had happened." Seth pursed his


    lips and said, "We also have responsibility for this matter."


    "I have arranged a senior ward and caretaker for Saul, and the medical expenses will all be covered by


    the Ramsey Group!"


    In fact, Kendrick had even thoughtfully given him many simted test papers to prevent him from


    falling behind and dying his studies abroad.


    "That''s good!" replied Seth.


    He had considerable confidence in Kendrick in such matters.


    "Elsie returned early, and her grandfather wanted to put her in the Ramsey Group for exercise."


    Kendrick replied, "I''ll let Rory arrange for her!"


    "I think she wants to work in the new energy department, which fits the future development trend. I also


    have the same idea."


    With Elsie''s identity, her working at the Ramsey Group would definitely bring more policy preferences,


    support, and even subsidies.


    That was the reason Seth had agreed on the matter.


    He didn''t want to give up such easily obtainable benefits.


    "It happens that this business has been handed over to you, so take care of her."


    "I don''t think it''s appropriate." Kendrick frowned. "In the short term, there is an advantage in interests,


    but in the long run, it is very dangerous. This business is core and confidential, and if something is


    identally leaked, the Williamson family is likely to use it to support ourpetitors!"


    Seth hadn''t expected his refusal to be so straightforward this time. He was about to get angry, but after


    hearing his reasons, he calmed down and asked, "So which department do you think is suitable for


    her?"


    "The business line under Susan, which does business with the entertainment industry."


    In that case, nothing big would happen.


    After all, there was no core or important secret.


    After a moment of thought, Seth said, "Okay." Speaking of this, he remembered something. "Natalie''s


    business capabilities have really impressed me. This year, the sales of those brands have increased


    ten timespared tost year."


    Natalie was now lying on the bed in the lounge.


    Upon hearing that, she immediately gathered her spirits and wanted to hear how Seth was going to


    praise her.


    "She used to be dull and looked stupid. How did she be so smart and articte?"


    "Everyone may change," said Kendrick.


    "That''s true. The Quinn family gave me her natal horoscope, saying she was a good match for you. In


    fact, she''s not the best match, but..." Seth let out a sigh and swallowed back the words he had meant


    to say.


    He continued in his heart, "If that girl were still alive, the engagement with Kendrick would still work.


    In that case, the rtionship between the Williamson family and the Ramsey family would not be as


    awkward as it is now.


    Reuben gave me Natalie''s natal horoscope and birth date.


    I really think that the Quinn family is too ordinary to be worthy of the Ramsey family.


    However, Kendrick''s legs are paralyzed.


    There was no better choice at that time.


    Therefore, I could only agree with the marriage."


    Thinking of this, Seth said meaningfully, "She has behaved quite well after marrying you, but don''t


    forget what you promised me."


    He leaned on his cane and continued, "I''m leaving. Come back with Natalie this weekend." He pointed


    at Kendrick and added, "Don''t pamper her too much!"


    He thought, "I''ve also heard of some gossip.


    I really didn''t expect the most outstanding son of the Ramsey family to actually be a henpecked


    husband.


    And how is Natalie able to control Kendrick?"

    Seth felt something was wrong and tapped the floor with his cane. "Did you hear me?"


    Kendrick said, "She listens to me very much."


    "You should learn from me. You must have the final say in everything at home. Otherwise, how can I


    hand over the Ramsey Group to you in the future? You must build up your authority!" said Seth in a


    deep voice.


    It was the first time he had ever said in front of Kendrick that he would hand over the Ramsey Group to


    him.


    "I see."


    Kendrick wanted Seth to leave as quickly as possible.


    After all, Natalie was still in the lounge.


    After Seth had left, Natalie ran out of the lounge and asked, "When did you pamper me too much?"


    "Come here!" Kendrick waved at her.


    Natalie walked over.


    Then Kendrick pped her on the buttocks and asked with his teeth gritted, "Didn''t I pamper you?"


    He really felt that Natalie was heartless.


    Natalie also took the opportunity to tease him, "You just hit me, so, of course, you didn''t pamper me."


    Kendrick grabbed her waist and pretended to hit her again.


    He thought, "I almost treasured her like a princess, regardless of all my principles and bottom lines,


    and afraid that she might be a little unhappy.


    Just now, I even deducted Spencer''s hourly sry as a technical consultant."


    Natalie noticed the thin nket covering his legs, which was obviously to cover something up.


    Somehow, at that moment, she suddenly grew bolder. She crouched down and leaned over to ask,


    "Are you alright now?"


    Kendrick''s face darkened instantly.


    He felt that he must really teach her a lesson.


    Seeing him silent, she bit her lips and asked cautiously again, "So, do you need my help?"


    Outside the window, night had fallen upon the city, and the stars were beginning to dot the sky.


    Kendrick''s eyes were instantly turned as dark as night.


    He had calmed down, but now he was rekindled by her words.


    Kendrick''s tongue was pressed against his pte, and his reason and his desire were mingled.


    He missed the feeling of her delicate and soft hands covering him.


    Now he gazed into her watery, clear eyes, and at her lips, which were slightly parted and crimson. In an


    instant, his reason was scattered. He only wanted her eyes to be stained with dim tears, and to hear


    her coquettish groans.


    "Yes!" said Kendrick in an extremely hoarse voice.


    Natalie raised her hand and pulled away the thin nket. Then she patted his leg and said solemnly,


    "Mr. Ramsey, please behave yourself!"

    Chapter 166 Seth Is Awkward


    Chapter 166 Seth Is Awkward


    It was Natalie''s first love.


    She knew a little about men and women, but she had no experience. In her heart, love was about hugs,


    kisses, and other sweet touches.


    As for more, she had no idea.


    However, it seemed that Kendrick was even more urgent now than she was.


    Kissing could no longer satisfy him.


    Her words instantly calmed Kendrick down. He realized that she was just teasing him.


    He thought, "I remember that she''s the one who took the initiative to incite me.


    She kissed my cheek, threw herself at me, and even bit me.


    She even calls me honey all the time.


    Her tricks were not really very clever, and I did not find her very charming at first, but her sudden


    changes made me curious to know what tricks she was ying.


    Unexpectedly, Ipletely fell into her.


    Now, I want to go further, but why is she starting to be unwilling?"


    With that in mind, Kendrick sneered, "Behave myself?


    "Why didn''t you behave yourself when you kissed me and took the initiative to sit on myp?"


    Kendrick was angry and began to rake up the past.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Natalie was silent.


    He raised his eyebrows. "Did you lose your words?"


    Natalie really didn''t know what to say now.


    She thought, "What he said is indeed true.


    But I didn''t refuse him after he fell in love with me, did I?"


    She puffed out her little face and looked up at him. Then she reached out to poke him on the shoulder


    and said in grievance, "Why are you suddenly angry?"


    Hearing that, Kendrick couldn''t help but think, "Of course I''m angry.


    She poured cold water on me at such a critical moment. I really felt as if I had fallen from heaven to hell


    in an instant. I''m even afraid that my sexual functions may be affected by such sudden excitement.


    In the long run, will there really be a chance for us to do something grown-up?"


    Kendrick''s face turned slightly cold at the thought, but he suddenly remembered that Natalie was


    inexperienced, so it was normal that she had no idea of men''s things.


    He rxed his expression and said word for word, "Fine, I''ll behave myself!"


    Natalie looked at him and asked in hesitation, "Then will you still give me the approval?"


    "He won''t be angry with me about this matter, right? After all, Kendrick should not be a person who


    brings his personal life to work," she thought.


    Kendrick almostughed out of his anger.


    He thought, "As expected, she cares only about her job."


    "It depends on my mood!" said Kendrick coldly with a stern face, but there was a teasing smile hidden


    in his eyes. Apparently, he wanted Natalie to beg him.


    Natalie snorted, "I''m wrong about you!" After thinking for a while, she said angrily, "You said you''ve


    been pampering me, but obviously, you don''t pamper me at all!"


    This heartless remark made Kendrick frown, and he pretended to reach out again.


    Natalie quickly covered her little buttocks, bounced off the ground, and ran away.


    She backed away with acent expression and said, "I won''t let you spank me again!"


    Then she turned around and was about to leave the office.


    Unexpectedly, Seth was standing at the door.


    With a serious expression, Seth leaned on his cane and coughed softly. Then he asked, "Have you


    been inside all along?"


    Natalie said, "I just woke up!"


    Seth felt a bit awkward. He waved his hand and said meaningfully, "Behave yourselves a bit in the


    Natalie fell silent.


    However, she couldn''t exin that they hadn''t actually done anything. Therefore, she obediently said,


    "Then I''ll go to work now!"


    Seth nodded and said to her, "Go back with Kendrick tomorrow. I''ll tell the kitchen to prepare what you


    want to eat in advance."


    As the door was closed, Seth remained silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Melvin told me he has


    a child now!"


    ...


    Melvin had a child, which meant that the ultimate heir to the Ramsey Group couldn''t be determined yet.


    It was said that the child was only a newly developed embryo.


    Melvin had secretly tried artificial fertilization many times and finally had a sessful test-tube baby.


    Kendrick said this was a good thing and congratted Seth on having another grandson.


    However, the human heart was alwaysplex, and he was not a pure good person. He also wanted


    to climb to the summit and had supreme control over everything.


    This emotionsted even when he was in the car back to the Ramsey''s mansion.


    Natalie thought he was still angry about yesterday''s joke and immediately teased him with a cold joke


    she had just seen, "A tourist got lost while traveling out of town. He saw a cute child, so he touched the


    child''s head and asked, ''Where am I?'' Guess how the child answered him?"


    Kendrick raised his face from the tablet. "How?"


    "The child said ''On my head!''"


    After saying that, Natalieughed and asked, "Don''t you think it''s very funny?"


    Kendrick pretended to be amused by her. He didn''t want her to know the things hidden in his heart. He


    always shared happy things with her, but as for the suppressed dark struggles, he chose to carry them


    on his own.


    ...


    The warm sunshine in winter afternoons fell on the courtyard.


    As soon as the two of them entered, they met someone who came out.


    Natalie fixed her eyes on the person.


    It was Elsie.


    She stood by the garden and said, "Grandpa, I should go home now."


    "Okay!"


    Seth smiled kindly at her and said, "Be careful on the way!"


    Elsie politely nodded. When she turned around, she saw the two of them. She also nodded at them,


    then looked up and asked Seth, "Grandpa, I haven''t seen Mr. Ramsey for many years, and I don''t know


    how to address him for a moment."


    Seth said, "We two families are friends, so just call him Ken, and she''s Nat!"


    Elsie then greeted them again and said, "Good afternoon, Ken, Nat!"


    Natalie couldn''t help but think, "I suspect that the Williamson family has set a goal for her, or she has


    set one for herself. Otherwise, why does she keeping to apologize?


    However, it seems normal for ady in Goldburg to socialize like this."


    After saying that, Elsie squatted down, cleared a piece of gravel in front of Kendrick''s wheelchair, and


    said, "Be careful of the stones." She said this to Natalie.


    Natalie politely smiled. "Thank you for your reminder!"


    She felt that Elsie was really a careful and gentle person.


    After that, Elsie left quickly.


    Natalie looked at her back for a moment and then asked with a frown, "Hasn''t she already apologized?


    Why did shee again?"


    Kendrick spected that Elsie hade for Brett, who was now on blind dates with thedies of


    Goldburg. He was about to be the youngest major general. Therefore, he was very popr


    among girls of Goldburg, many of which wanted to marry him, although they knew that he had a hot


    temper and mightmit domestic violence.


    However, they didn''t mind it, for Brett had a handsome face and a good family background.


    ...


    At night, Maggie also returned.


    She had recently changed her team, and her resources had gradually kept up. She mentioned some


    interesting things in the entertainment industry at the dinner table, which made Seth burst intoughter.


    It could be seen that Seth was very fond of his granddaughter.


    Maggie was about to do the first variety show of her life.


    "One is a tourism variety show, and the other is a love variety show. I don''t know which one is better."


    Maggie was worried and asked Kendrick and Natalie at the dinner table after dinner. Then she insisted


    on her opinion in a low voice, "I think the love variety show is more likely to be phenomenal!"


    "No!" said Natalie.


    Indeed, a love variety show was more likely to be phenomenal, but Maggie would have to be bound to


    her coupling partner. She would not be able to get rid of this business rtionship even after marriage,


    and she would even be pestered by many shippers.


    Natalie pointed to the script of the love variety show and said, "These two are breaking up. The man


    cheated on the woman and evenmitted domestic violence. All programs rted to him will be


    taken down. Therefore, the show may also be taken down soon after your filming!"


    Maggie was surprised. "These two are model couples in the entertainment industry. They have been


    together for almost ten years. Nat, where did you get the news?"

 Chapter 167 Natalie Is Sad

    Chapter 167 Natalie Is Sad


    Chapter 167 Natalie Is Sad


    Natalie said with a calm expression, "I have seen the posts rted to them on a forum. It''s better to be


    cautious."


    Maggie was still hesitating.


    She turned to her brother and asked, "Ken, what do you think?"


    "Listen to Nat."


    Maggie was silent.


    "I knew it!" she thought.


    However, she still couldn''t help but ask, "Don''t you have your own opinion?"


    Kendrick shook his head in silence.


    ...


    Natalie pushed Kendrick upstairs and heard him say at the door, "Have you also put your people in the


    entertainment industry?"


    "Well, due to my work, I have a lot of interaction with people in the industry and know some insider


    information."


    Kendrick asked no more questions and took a bath himself.


    His legs were much stronger now. Apart from not being able to stand or walk, his other leg functions


    had basically returned. The surgery removed his scars and left his entire body much lighter than


    before.


    When bathing in the tub, he couldn''t help but be curious.


    He thought, "Has she really never had any contact with medicine?


    Then why would she understand neuromodtion?


    Did someone specifically teach her?"


    Kendrick had never witnessed Natalie doing surgery.


    It was just that she was discovered by him the other day while she was suturing his wound.


    Then he learned that she was also in the operating room during his surgery.


    However, Natalie never directly revealed to him what she had done or what her medical level was.


    There was still a big difference between a rookie and a top-notch.


    Getting started and getting proficient were not the same thing.


    Kendrick felt that the matter was confused from beginning to end, as if a mist existed at the root.


    There was so much about her that made him curious.


    There were many secrets hidden.


    However, she had never specifically disclosed it to him.


    ...


    Natalie watched him obediently go to the bathroom to take a bath. Aftering out, hey on the bed


    and wiped his hair with a towel.


    She walked over, picked up a hair dryer, and asked, "Do you want me to dry your hair for you?"


    Kendrick looked very self-restrained and didn''t answer her.


    Natalie felt funny and said, "What''s wrong with you?" She turned on the hair dryer and patiently blew


    his hair. From time to time, she reached out to fiddle with the fringe on his forehead and stared at his


    face.


    Kendrick was born extremely handsome.


    His features were strong, his outline clear, and his jaw-line sharp. When his thin lips were tightly


    pressed, his cold and sharp demeanor immediately exuded, making him look unapproachable.


    However, when he smiled, he looked very gentle.


    And now, his expression was so serious that there was no trace of a smile on his face.


    "What are you thinking?" Natalie asked, "Why are you silent all the time?"


    "I''m behaving myself!" said Kendrick.


    Natalie was amused and felt that he was really stingy but also very cute. She put down the hair dryer,


    took his face in her hands, and kissed him fiercely. Then she said, "Stop being so enigmatical with me!"


    Natalie said this in a tone of great overbearingness.


    Kendrick let out a sneer.


    He said in his heart, "I must remain unmoved and cold!"


    Natalie wiped his hair with a towel and ran her fingers through the tips. Meanwhile, she said, "If you are


    still unable to stand and walk by the end of this month, we''ll need Dr. Gentry to arrange a second


    surgery for you."


    "Will he be in charge of the surgery?"


    Natalie lowered her eyes.


    She thought, "I cannot do the surgery for Kendrick.


    After injecting C7, my heart can no longer withstand such high-pressure intensity. Nor can I concentrate


    all my energy on the operating table. I won''t be able to hold it.


    I''m just like the protagonist in The Little Mermaid.


    She surrendered her tail and voice because of the prince, bing unable to speak and walking on


    the tip of a knife for a lifetime.


    And I may never be able to hold a scalpel in the operating room again.


    If it''s worse..."


    Natalie put her thoughts aside and said, "Dr. Gentry is your attending doctor. He knows your situation


    the best, so don''t worry."


    She was afraid that he would ask more and said with a forced smile, "Did you give him any gifts?"


    Kendrick gave Owen a ticket back to Cruxham.


    It was as if he longed to see him depart quickly.


    Kendrick found it a little embarrassing to say it.


    However, he really didn''t mean that. After all, Owen was straightforward and frank, so Kendrick


    naturally wouldn''t deliberately target him.


    "I asked him and he said he didn''t need any gifts," said Kendrick.


    There were not so many twists and turns between the men, and Owen really wanted nothing.


    "Let''s treat him to dinner together! It happens that he''s about to go back to Cruxham," said Natalie.


    "Okay." Kendrick nodded. "I''ll have Rose arrange it!"


    Although he was asionally jealous, he was still a rational man when necessary.


    "Go to bed early. I need to go downstairs and get a ss of hot water."


    ...


    At this point, the Ramseys had basically all gone to bed.


    Natalie gently pushed open the door, and when she reached the staircase, she saw that the light in


    Seth''s study was still on and the door was not closed. She faintly heard her husband''s name.


    Seeing that, she thought, "Although eavesdropping is not very good, the door is open.


    And the voice is not too low.


    So, it''s not that bad to eavesdrop on them, right?"


    Natalie moved cautiously over.


    "Edgar, why did such an ident happen back then?"


    "Maybe it''s fate!"


    "That child was the best match for Kendrick. At that time, the engagement was already made."


    "Yes, she was the true eldest daughter of the Williamson family!" Edgar sighed, "She and Mr. Ramsey


    were destined to get married. They should have been a perfect match."


    When Natalie heard this, she could bear it no longer.


    She even wished she were deaf now.


    She said to herself in her heart, "This tells us one thing. Do not eavesdrop on others.


    I could not even rush up and question what they were secretly talking about when I heard something


    disagreeable!


    The eldest daughter of the Williamson family?


    Elsie?


    What is her rtionship with Kendrick? Has she ever been engaged to him?


    Why was this matter not mentioned in the original book?


    Is it because it''s just the gossip of the supporting role''s childhood?"


    Natalie went downstairs and poured herself a ss of water. She felt more and more unhappy as she


    thought of the conversation between Seth and Edgar just now.


    Sheined in her mind, "What does it mean by a perfect match?


    I don''t like it!


    Who is Kendrick''s wife now? I am, but not Elsie, who is said to be the perfect match for him!


    I''m Kendrick''s one and only sweetheart."


    Natalie took a big sip of water,posed herself, and was about to go upstairs. Suddenly, she


    remembered something.


    She thought, "Wait, Kendrick''s wife.


    Whoever it is, it does not seem to have much to do with me!


    I am but a spirit wandering from another world and borrowing the body of someone else.


    Separated by two worlds, there should be no fate or intersection between me and Kendrick.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    However, I forcefully continued the fate and rewritten the ending of the divorce and the car ident."


    Natalie''s head ached at the thought. She sat down on the steps outside the door, and the cold


    moonlight streamed down her head and fell upon the steps like a thin frost.


    She couldn''t help but think, "Easton, and others, are we looking at the same bright moon now?


    If he knows I can never hold a scalpel again, will he be very angry and jump up to hit me?"


    Suddenly, her heart was filled with sadness, and it surged straight into her eyes.


    After a long time, a male voice sounded from behind her.


    "What are you doing here?"


    It was warm and full of concern.


    Kendrick had been waiting upstairs for a long time but had not seen here up. Therefore, he directly


    came down to find her.


    Natalie turned back unconsciously at the sound.


    Instantly, Kendrick met a pair of mournful eyes filled with tears.

 Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby

    Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby


    Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby


    The night in November was heavily frosty and moist. When the moon brightly shone outside the


    window, the wind was blowing the fallen leaves.


    Natalie was crying in a faint voice in the house. She was suppressing her trembling sobs, sounding


    aggrieved and pitiful. She didn''t want to cry.


    She wept to the moon on the steps, thinking no one could see the trace after the cold wind dried her


    tears.


    But Kendrick came.


    The moment she saw him,plex emotions intertwined and engulfed her so violently that more tears


    welled up.


    Then, he hugged her in his arms. She leaned against his chest, letting tears wet his shirt. He didn''t ask


    the reason and hugged her in silence.


    After she gradually calmed down, he pressed his lips against her forehead and gently wiped the tears


    off the corners of her eyes with a tissue. When he was about to speak, she suddenly asked in a muffled


    voice, "Do you like me?"


    She had asked this question once.


    This time, he gave the same answer, saying, "Who else can I like but you?"


    He pushed her tear-stained hair behind her ears with his fingers and added, "You are my wife!"


    They were eternal soulmates in a marriage. They understood each other and would grow old together.


    Natalie scratched her head and clenched her fists, hesitating to speak. She almost had a mental


    breakdown, so she anxiously asked, "Is it the only reason?"


    Kendrick thought about it in silence. After a long while, he slowly said, "You suddenly told me you did


    not want a divorce and would start to change. Then, you said we are the closest people in the world


    because we''re married. That''s when I started to seriously think about our rtionship."


    Before that day, he had just regarded her as a stranger who lived under the same roof as him. So, he


    had not paid much attention to her.


    Then, he lightly brushed his fingers across her cheek with a trace of apology on his face and began to


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    reflect on himself, saying, "Sorry, it''s the first time I have fallen in love. I haven''t seriously chased after a


    girl before. I''m sorry if I did anything that made you unhappy."


    He had never dated other women before. She was his wife, so he had missed many processes. He


    guessed she was unhappy because she felt he did not respect her enough. Respect was the


    prerequisite of a good rtionship.


    Natalie had been upset with herself for a long time. Hearing him coax her, she felt much better. When a


    woman fell in love, it was hard for her to maintain 100% rationality. So, it was normal for her to split


    hairs.


    Natalie said, "Grandpa said you spoiled me too much because you always make exceptions for me. He


    thinks you changed."


    Kendrick faintly smiled, "He lectured me because he does not want me to be too emotional when doing


    things. It has nothing to do with you. You don''t need to take such words seriously."


    He suddenly became solemn and continued, "Compared with what you did for me, what I did is


    insignificant."


    He tightly hugged her as if being afraid of losing her. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Nat, it is


    not until now that I feel like a human being instead of a machine."


    Thanks to her, he finally had the emotions of a normal person after living in the world for twenty years.


    She had taught him how to love, respect, and think for others.


    Hearing his words, Natalie felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes again.


    Anyway, it was fate that had brought them together.


    If she hadn''te, he wouldn''t havee so gentle and considerate. He would have continued to live


    like a cold and emotionless machine that could not feel the warmth of the world.


    Fate was illusory and inurate, so theirpanionship and love were more important. Elsie


    Williamson would be no match for her! Natalie believed Kendrick wouldn''t spare one more look at her.


    She sniffed, recovered from the depression, and said, "Actually, I heard..."


    She stroked her hair and frankly continued, "Grandpa and Edgar said you used to be engaged to Elsie,


    the youngdy of the Williamson family. They told me you two were a perfect match ording to the


    astrological result!"


    She had felt ufortable since hearing such words. After Elsie''s visit today, her mood became even


    worse.


    Kendrick frowned. He had heard of his engagement to the daughter of the Williamson family. But no


    one had mentioned it for many years, so he did not know the inside story.


    So, he exined, "I have no dealings with Elsie. And I have never heard of the engagement."


    He thought the two old men were too gossipy. Why had they suddenly mentioned the matter most


    people had long forgotten? He hoped they could close the door when exchanging gossip.


    He stared at her and softly said, "I don''t believe in astrology. I trust my judgment and know who is good


    to me."


    He believed his affectionate words deserved a kiss!


    Natalie lowered her eyes, feeling she was unreasonable and emotional. She thought it was wrong to


    cry for a man every day and felt annoyed. She used to scold such people. But now, she had be


    one of them.


    It must be because Kendrick was so charming that she had lost her wits for him. Otherwise, she would


    not have worried about losing him when they were leading a happy life together.


    She suddenly opened her mouth and bit his shoulder. After leaving a tooth mark, she reached out to


    pat him and hoarsely said, "You are annoying!"


    Kendrick froze because it was different from what he had imagined. He had thought they would


    affectionately look at each other and have a passionate kiss.


    Soon, she leaned over, pretended to be angry, and said, "You make me not like myself."


    Kendrick held her chin and said in a deep voice, "You did the same to me!"


    He used to be proud of his calmness, self-esteem, and principles. But she had removed all of them.


    Natalie puffed out her cheeks, looking cute and smart. She rubbed her face against his chest, raised


    her eyes, and rested her head on his shoulder, shyly whispering, "What did you call mest time?"


    Kendrick was a jerk. He had forgotten what he had said only a few days ago.


    She reminded him, adding, "In the hospital!"


    She had pretended to be cold and reserved then. But now, she wanted to hear him flirtatiously and


    dotingly call her baby in a deep voice again.


    But he was still trying to recall with a frown.


    She couldn''t take it anymore, so she said, "You called me baby!"


    Hearing this, he smiled, bit her earlobe, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Baby."


    She felt healed and sweat as if her heart was full of bubbling peach-vored soda. The pink and heart-


    shaped bubbles gathered together as if intending to raise her heart.


    Natalie regained her good mood, so she reached out and hooked an arm around his neck. When she


    was about to sweetly smile at him to express her love, a snot bubble popped out. After all, she had just


    cried badly.


    D*mn it!


    Kendrick held back hisughter and took out a tissue to wipe her face.


    He must notugh at her. Otherwise, she would cry again.


    When he lowered his head, he looked gentle and meticulous. Under the light, his handsome face gave


    him warmth.


    He was so patient and tolerant, so her uneasy and lonely heart calmed down a little bit. She instantly


    loved him even more, so she held his chin with both hands, imitated the way he had kissed herst


    time, poked the tip of her tongue into his mouth, and heavily licked the roof of his mouth.

 Chapter 169 Waiting For You

    Chapter 169 WaitingFor You


    Chapter 169 Waiting For You


    Natalie had been pampered, so she had be bolder. She was not a weak person who had no


    thoughts of her own. Instead, she was sober and knew what she wanted. She had chased after the


    man she liked. After the sess, she wanted to be dominant in their rtionship now.


    So, she preferred to take the initiative when they kissed.


    Kendrick found she was more enthusiastic when she took the initiative. When he slightly turned his


    face aside, she instantly moved closer.


    But it was a pity that they could only kiss no matter how enthusiastic she was. She was not ready to go


    further, so they could not have sex yet.


    After kissing him for a while, she panted, let go of him, and said with a red face, "It''s time to go to bed!"


    Kendrick raised his hands to rub his temples. After a long silence, he said, "I''m going to the bathroom."


    Natalie asked, "Do you need my help?"


    When he nced over, the look in his eyes was deep, sticky, and dark.


    Seeing this, Natalie felt confused. It was just a kiss. Why did he react so dramatically?


    She didn''t dare to look at him any longer. The heater was on, so she suddenly felt hot all over. She was


    usually sober and rational, but now, she was at a loss for what to say. Therefore, she slowly lowered


    her head to avoid his gaze.


    After a while, the mattress beside her was pressed down.


    He had be much more agile. Now, he could step on the wheelchair, put his hands on the edge of


    the bed, and prop himself up.


    Natalie didn''t fall asleep because she was still thinking about what had happened just now.


    They were in love, so they should let nature take its course. And she had no problem with sex.


    But they were both newbies. Although she knew the human body well, she had no experience with sex.


    When he had held her hand to masturbate, she had been dumbfounded.


    She decided to learn it by watching popr science videos. Of course, she would not tell him about it.


    Natalie turned to face him, poked his prominent nose, and said, "Can you wait for me?"


    She had said it bluntly, so Kendrick knew what she meant. But he asked, "What?"


    Natalie knew he had said so on purpose, but she still bit the bullet and said, "I must make some


    preparations!"


    Before the exams, she had always carefully studied to avoid getting poor grades. Moreover, Kendrick


    was a novice too! She did not want him to pretend to be an expert to save face.


    She directly expressed her worries, saying, "I''m a little scared! I heard it will hurt and bleed!"


    If the first time was bad, the quality of their subsequent sex life might be affected. Every girl fantasized


    about having a good memory when giving her virginity to her beloved one.


    Kendrick took liberties with her because he knew she loved him. She was reserved by nature, so she


    would never agree to have sex in the office which was a public ce.


    Although he was rational and gentle, it was hard to suppress sexual urges. He also had the inferiority of


    men. He was gentle with and doting on the woman he loved. But he was eager to see her fall into the


    boundless sea of   desires for him.


    She was pretty when looking at him with pity in a high rack. But she would be more beautiful when


    having an orgasm because she would frown, look at him with blurry eyes, and groan with pleasure.


    Kendrick stroked her little head and lied, "Nat, I''m not in a hurry. I''ll wait for you!"


    He was in no rush for now but swore to do it sooner orter.


    What a bad and shameless man!


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and gently whispered, "I am your wife. And I know my obligations. I will


    try my best."


    --


    Natalie had been on an emotional roller coaster tonight.


    She got up before seven in the morning, feeling hungry. Then, she and Kendrick went to the dining


    room together for breakfast. The aroma of the food swept away her unhappiness in winter, so she


    became more energetic.


    Kendrick fed her a bun and said, "Be careful. The..."


    Before he could finish speaking, the liquid stuffing sshed on his face. It was funny, so she


    heartlesslyughed at him and said, "Why didn''t you avoid it?"


    When he nkly pulled out a tissue to wipe his face, she put the egg she had bitten on his te and


    said, "I''m full. Eat it."


    Kendrick had many taboos, and not sharing food was one of them.


    But hearing her words, he paused to make a mental preparation and nodded, "Okay!"


    When Seth came downstairs, he happened to see this scene. Kendrick had just promised to stop


    spoiling Natalie but failed to keep his word.


    Seth stood at the stairs and recalled he used to be so domineering and aggressive that no one had


    dared to disobey him. But he had also massaged his long-deceased wife after getting married.


    Seth helplessly sighed and walked over on his cane.


    Natalie warmly greeted him, saying, "Good morning, Grandpa. What would you like milk? I will pure a


    ss for you."


    Seth nodded, "Yes, please."


    --


    After breakfast, Kendrick still had time, so he pulled Edgar to theke and said, "Edgar, I have


    something to ask you."


    Edgar respectfully said, "Mr. Ramsey, please go ahead."


    Kendrick asked, "What''s the matter with my engagement to Elsie? Why haven''t you mentioned it to me


    before?"


    Edgar was surprised and said, "There is no such a thing."


    Kendrick stared at him. If there had not been such a thing, Edgar should not have talked about it with


    Seth and made Nat unhappy.


    Edgar sighed, "You were engaged to the youngdy of the Williamson family, but she is not Ms. Elsie!"


    "Who is she?"


    Seeing him hesitate to speak, Kendrick waved his hand and said, "Fine! No matter who she is, you


    must not mention this matter anymore."


    He was sitting by theke. Seeing Natalie cheerfully walking toward him in the warm winter sun, he


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    squinted and said, "I will have only one wife!"


    Edgar nodded, "Yes!"


    Natalie fetched some fish food from the kitchen and came to feed the carp.


    She leaned on the railing by theke and threw the fish food in the small bowl into theke,


    immediately attracting dozens of carp!


    She happily joked about the beautiful carp in theke, saying, "Look at them! They don''t look grace at


    all whenpeting for food!"


    They looked as if they had starved for a long time. Such a bad table manner did not match their high


    prices.


    Kendrick lukewarmly said, "You are no better than them!"


    When Natalie clenched her small fists to punch him, his phone suddenly rang.


    The call was from Audale. So, he guessed it was about Susan''s condition.


    He quickly put on his Bluetooth earphone. After he answered the call, he froze in ce, and his face


    instantly became serious as if a mask was breaking apart, showing countless cracks.

 Chapter 170 Sadness

    Chapter 170 Sadness


    Chapter 170 Sadness


    Natalie''s smile froze, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the bowl.


    Seeing there was no more food, the carp scattered away.


    The winter sun was shining, but Natalie felt a chill down her spine.


    Kendrick hung up the phone, raised his eyes, and seriously said, "Susan may soon die."


    The call was from his cousin Alin in Audale.


    The tumor in Susan''s brain deteriorated. One of her eyes had gone blind, and she was in aa. The


    doctor had partially removed it but could notpletely get rid of it.


    Natalie had never expected her condition to deteriorate so badly within one month. Not long ago,


    Susan had praised her with a kind smile.


    When she bitterly looked at Kendrick, his gaze had drifted to the distance. Although he was in the


    winter morning sun, a shadow had enveloped him.


    Susan treated him well. She had settled down in Audale ten years ago but had never stopped caring


    about him. She had asked about his physical condition to study when he had been young. And after he


    had entered thepany, she had also helped him a lot.


    She had given him kindness and affection that few people had given him.


    When facing a beloved one''s death, few people could remain detached.


    "Has the doctor given a diagnosis?" Natalie asked.


    "Yeah," Kendrick tly replied.


    The world''s top neurologists had gathered for Susan''s consultation and finally announced the result.


    Kendrick calmly said, "It''s cold outside. Let''s go in! We must keep the matter secret until Susan wakes


    up!"


    "OK!"


    Susan held a lot of shares in Ramsey Group. Her condition''s sudden deterioration would attract a lot of


    attention and disturb her recuperation.


    The media had been extremely interested in the heir of the Ramsey Group in recent years, wondering


    to whom Seth would hand over his huge empire.


    His eldest son Dereon was conservative and mediocre. His favorite youngest son Melvin had a lot of


    scandals. Would he choose his grandson Kendrick?


    The dust would not settle until Seth died, and variables would appear at any time.


    --


    When Kendrick went to the study to have the morning meeting with Seth, Natalie called Owen and told


    him about Susan''s condition.


    They had long talked about her illness. Susan''s attending physician was Owen''s school friend


    specializing in brain nerves, so he knew some inside information.


    Owen said, "The tumor has spread, although they have removed part of it. They can only rely on


    chemotherapy and specific drugs to maintain her life for at most half a month."


    After a silence, Natalie asked, "Can you help me contact Susan''s attending physician?"


    Owen guessed what she wanted to do and said in disbelief, "Natalie, it is a case of cranial neurology."


    He had not expected her to know it.


    They did not hide from each other on academic issues. Moreover, if Owen


    helped her, things would be more convenient.


    Hearing her n to go to Audale, Owen thought she was crazy.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said, "Trust me! I can deal with all diseases rted to neurology."


    Owen said in a rare loud voice, "It''s not a question of trust! Your health condition does not allow you to


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    conductplicated surgery! You must not work on the operating table for the next half a year."


    Even small operations such as removing an appendix must be forbidden!


    "But Susan can live for half a year at most!"


    Owen was speechless.


    Then, he asked with a frown, "What did Kendrick say? Did you tell him about your condition?"


    "He doesn''t know!"


    She would never tell Kendrick about her physical condition. She had even fobbed him off without


    rifying what she had done in the operating room that day.


    Owen fell silent again.


    He felt like talking to a fool, and he had never seen such a fool before. He had thought Natalie would


    make it clear to Kendrick by herselfter, so he had beaten around the bush without giving him any


    useful information when Kendrick had asked about it.


    He did not know how theymunicated but knew Natalie must have a secret she did not want to tell


    anyone.


    Owen refused, "I won''t help you with this matter because I can''t find a reason to convince myself."


    Then, he added, "The world''s top neurologists have made a diagnosis. I am sorry for Susan."


    "Owen!" Natalie was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so she hurriedly said, "Susan is


    Kendrick''s great-aunt. She treats him well and loves him very much. The bad news today blew him


    hard. He has not spoken or eaten until now."


    Owen suppressed his depression, thinking it was because of Kendrick again.


    She did not want him to be said, so she continued to put pressure on herself regardless of her health


    condition.


    Natalie slowly added, "I can save her! Even if I can prolong her life for only a few years, it will be worth


    a try, right?"


    Owen calmly asked, "Natalie, have you ever thought about your life?"


    She replied, "It''s not as serious as you think. I''m alive and kicking! Don''t curse me!"


    Owen tightly pursed his lips and said, "Even if there is nothing wrong now, you don''t know what will


    happen in the future! If your condition deteriorates, you can no longer conduct operations. Your talent


    will be wasted, and your hard work will be in vain. You are willing to sacrifice for him now. But if..."


    If he no longer loved her in the future, her sacrifice would be a joke.


    Owen swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. He did not think it was worth it but knew doctors''


    natural mission. They must save lives and heal the wounded. And their profession required them to be


    ready for self-sacrifice at any time.


    He felt he was small-minded.


    Natalie solemnly said, "I will never regret my choice!"


    --


    Owen wondered why he must help her cover it up again. Was he a tool?


    Soon, he realized he was indeed a tool. Natalie had known she could not show up in person from the


    very beginning, so she had fooled him with tricks and asked him to help her!


    But he couldn''t help sending an email to his friend to ask about Susan''s condition, feeling he had fallen


    within Natalie''s orbit.


    When she apanied Kendrick to the hospital for follow-up medical examinations, Owen handed her


    a stack of documents and said, "This is Susan''s specific condition. Brain nerves are not my specialty,


    so I can''t help."


    "Thanks!"


    She looked better today and was wearing light makeup. The worry in her eyes had disappeared. When


    arriving with Kendrick this morning, she kept talking to him to cheer him up.


    Owen turned around, picked up a box from the table, and handed it to her, saying, "Here you are!"

 Chapter 171 He Cant Help It

    Chapter 171 He Can''t Help It


    Chapter 171 He Can''t Help It


    Natalie took it and curiously asked, "What is this?"


    "Heart Protection Pill," Owen said.


    He took it when staying upte for work. The doctor was a high-risk profession.


    He lowered his eyes, not knowing whether it was right to indulge her like this. Then, he sighed,


    "Natalie."


    "Yes?"


    He hesitated to speak because he did not have a stand to judge her choice.


    Natalie sincerely said, "Owen, thank you for all your hard work. I don''t know how to express my


    gratitude. Please don''t hesitate to contact me if you need my help. I will try my best."


    Owenughed, "Why don''t you call me brother to thank me?"


    His mother would like this smart and talented girl with the same surname as her.


    "Come on!" Natalie brought up the old thing, saying, "You used to respectfully call me Mr. Q. Did you


    forget?"


    Owen felt embarrassed, thinking she was indeed different from other girls.


    He stopped smiling and said, "I will not interfere with your decision. But there is a premise."


    Natalie nodded, "I know. I''ll take care of myself."


    --


    Standing outside the training room, Brock saw Kendrick absent-minded. He knew thetter wanted to


    see Natalie, so he rushed in and reported, "Mrs. Ramsey is talking with Dr. Gentry about your recovery


    and will be here soon. Please don''t worry. Calm down."


    Kendrick gave him a sideways look with displeasure.


    "Mrs. Ramsey, why don''t you put your legs down?"


    Did he think he was so capable that he could train with his legs up? When Mrs. Ramsey came down,


    she would scold him!


    Kendrick carelessly said, "Is there any problem? Why can''t I train like this?"


    Brock said, "Mrs. Ramsey will be here soon. Last time, I failed to record her fingerprint in the ess


    control system. So, I will go to open the door for her now."


    Kendrick instantly put his legs down and beckoned Cayden over, pretending to bemunicating with


    him.


    Seeing this, Brock tried hard to look expressionless.


    When Natalie came in and asked Cayden about Kendrick''s recovery, Cayden seriously said the training


    was going smoothly as nned and showed her the data.


    Indeed, Kendrick''s stamina and load-bearing ability had improved a lot.


    After the stand was fully stabilized, he could try to stand up.


    --


    Natalie wheeled Kendrick out of the training room and headed for the lobby on the first floor at five in


    the afternoon.


    Suddenly, a man blocked their way. Seeing this, Brock reflexively stepped forward. But several


    bodyguards in ck appeared around them, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.


    "What are you doing?" Melvin waved his hands to the bodyguards and said, "He is my nephew! Don''t


    hurt him!"


    Then, he smiled, "Kendrick, I am your uncle. Why do you want to hit me every time we meet? I didn''t


    do anything! Can''t I say hello to you?"


    Kendrick motioned for Brock to back away. He knew Melvin hade prepared because he had


    brought more bodyguards than usual.


    Brock clenched his fists, thinking he could knock all these bodyguards off.


    "What''s up?"


    Melvin sized him up and down, then looked at Natalie, and maliciously smiled, "Kendrick, you''re


    ruthless.


    He waved his hand and self-righteously continued, "Reuben is your father-inw. How could you trick


    him into the trap? He lost his wife and children, so he came toin to me. He cried so badly that I


    almost shed tears."


    He then pretended to wipe his eyes and said, "You are too viperous. Youid a mine in the project of


    West Goldburg. Does your wife know her father almostmitted suicide?"


    While speaking, he deliberately looked at Natalie. Seeing her not swayed at all, he felt confused. Then,


    he rubbed his chin and said, "I see! You did it together."


    He evilly smiled, pointed to Natalie, and said, "Reuben was right. He raised you, but you''re ungrateful!"


    Natalie coldly said, "Reuben is greedy, arrogant, and stupid. He blindly followed the trend and invested


    regardless of risks. He only got himself to me for the capital chain rupture!"


    She raised her head and mocked, "Melvin, if you sympathize with him so much, why don''t you lend him


    money to fill the hole? His wife is gone. It''s your opportunity tofort and get close to him!"


    Melvin clenched his fists so hard that his fingers creaked. He was so angry that he wanted to hi hit her.


    But Brock was standing aside like an iron tower, so he could only resentfully retract his hand. After all,


    the five bodyguards he had brought here couldn''t defeat Brock


    He took a few steps back, pointed at Natalie, and viciously said, "Wait and see!"


    She sneered, "You look like an ipetent and furious clown!"


    --


    Kendrick had been in a bad mood for days because of Susan''s illness.


    The weather was getting cold, so he caught a cold. After he forced himself to attend several meetings


    in a row, his condition worsened. He was so tired that his voice was weak when he lectured his


    subordinates.


    Hearing an outrageous report at the meeting, he angrilyughed. When he was about to scold them, he


    felt a sharp pain in his throat. Then, he helplessly smiled and showed an aggrieved look. They had


    angered him, but he could not lose his temper now.


    After feeding him the medicine in the evening, Natalie touched his hot forehead and worriedly said,


    "Rest in bed tomorrow. You can work after you recover!"


    Kendrick was infectious, so he didn''t dare to get close to her when saying, "You should go to bed early


    too."


    He had been unhappy these days, so Natalie reached out to hug him. But he pushed her away and


    said, "I have a cold!"


    She said, "I fed you medicine face to face, why are you still worried about infecting me? Don''t worry, I


    took medicine too."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    She put her arms around his shoulders, pressed her face against his chest, and asked, "Why are you


    unhappy? Is it because of Susan?"


    Kendrick frankly replied, "The news was too sudden. And I can''t do anything to help."


    Kendrick valued kinship very much. Indifference was his disguise to protect himself.


    "Is she still in aa?"


    Kendrick said, "She woke up at night! Alin told me she had talked about you and felt regretful that she


    had not returned to meet you in person."


    He pinched her cheek and said, "She praised you for being cute and smart."


    Natalie should have felt happy after being praised. But because of Susan''s illness, she felt depressed.


    She pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Can I go to see her?"


    "Do you want to go to Audale?"


    "Yes!"


    Natalie looked up at him as if making a major decision.


    Kendrick pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I''ll ask Nigel to arrange a private jet for you."


    "I hope she will get better after seeing me. If so, you will be happy!"


    Nat always considered him before acting, so it was hard for him not to love her.


    He lowered his eyes and couldn''t help slowly moving his lips closer to hers. Soon, he realized he had a


    cold.


    Seeing him about to kiss her, Natalie closed her eyes and waited. But he had held the urge back!

 Chapter 172 Marriage Letter

    Chapter 172 Marriage Letter


    Chapter 172 Marriage Letter


    Kendrick was restrained and sensible. Although he was eager to kiss and hug her, he did not want to


    infect her.


    He even wanted to let her sleep in another room but couldn''t go against his heart. He was like a child


    attracted to candy who knew it would harm his teeth.


    Countlessplicated thoughts popped into his mind, but he suppressed them and only tenderly


    hugged her.


    Natalie held his face with both hands and pecked his forehead.


    After a silence, he suddenly said, "The temperature in Audale is low. Take more thick clothes."


    After a pause, he added, "If the doctors can''t save her, don''t be too sad. God decides it."


    After a certain age, the so-called life was just a process of dying. The precious things in life would slip


    out of people''s hands one after another. There was nothing more painful than loss because loss meant


    irreparable.


    Even though there was little hope, Natalie would do her best topete with the god of death for


    Susan''s life. When she had first be a doctor, she vowed to try her best to save people.


    She rested her head in his arms. His body temperature was a bit high due to the cold. When he


    asionally coughed, his chest vibrated. So, she reached out to slowly pat his chest to help him


    breathe.


    She was not patient or gentle and did not have a good temper. But she was changing because of him.


    "Okay, I''ll discuss her condition with you when I arrive."


    Although she had said so, she believed she could save Susan.


    Suddenly, she thought of one thing and said, "By the way, Melvin said Reuben went to meet him and


    even cried."


    This matter sounded absurd. And she wondered how these two people had colluded with each other.


    The thing was notplicated.


    Kendrick hated deceit and betrayal and was not broad-minded. Reuben had yed dirty tricks behind


    his back many times, so he had set a trap for the former.


    Reuben was not smart. Compared with Kendrick, he was like a fool. He had jumped into the trap with


    all his property and gotten in trouble. The capital chain had ruptured, but no one was willing to help. So,


    he was debt-ridden and would spend the rest of his life paying off debts.


    He should not have offended Mr. Ramsey.


    These tricks were not glorious, so Kendrick understated them, unwilling to let Natalie know too much of


    his dark side. He just told her Reuben had failed to raise funds and would dere bankruptcy.


    However, Natalie paid all her attention to Reuben and disdainfully said, "He is indeed ordinary but


    confident. He is not a stock. Why did he think people would be willing to invest in him?"


    Then, she lowered her voice and murmured, "Some people are born suckers!"


    Her words amused Kendrick. And hisughter caused a fit of violent cough.


    Natalie hurriedly patted his chest and reminded him, saying, "You must be careful. Those two insidious


    may gang up against you."


    Kendrick held her finger and lightly kissed it, saying, "I will."


    --


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Kendrick quickly contacted the people in Audale, saying Natalie would visit Susan.


    Susan had said in a daze she wanted a bottle of soil from her hometown. She had been wandering


    abroad for many years. Back then, she had left home in a fit of anger. Now, she could no longer return.


    But she still missed her hometown and family.


    Kendrick and Natalie deliberately went to the ce where Susan had lived in childhood. They gathered


    a bottle of soil near the Ramsey family''s ancestral temple and sealed it.


    The Ramsey family had a history of more than one hundred years, so the ancestral temple was


    splendid.


    Sure enough, there were their iconic Ginkgo family emblems carved into the beams and pirs.


    When looking through the genealogy, Kendrick told Natalie the stories of his ancestors'' hard journeys


    with his eyes shining like stars. The pursuit of excellence and peak was the romance of men.


    Natalie looked at him while cupping her cheeks. He looked energetic and idealistic, so she was


    obsessed.


    Even though he still could not stand up, she believed he would recover sooner orter. When that day


    came, the entire world would look up at him.


    When Kendrick put the genealogy back, Natalie noticed a pile of red paper next to it.


    "What are they?"


    A member of the Ramsey family exined, "They are marriage letters."


    A hundred years ago, people must have a marriage letter before getting married. People had gradually


    abandoned the custom, but it sounded romantic.


    Natalie somehow nced at Kendrick. They had no proposal, engagement, or even wedding. So, their


    marriage seemed casual.


    Although Kendrick was not a romantic man, his emotional intelligence was normal. So, he ordered,


    "Give me a quill and ink!"


    Kendrick pursed his lips and rolled his sleeves up, revealing his wiry forearms. When the sunshine from


    the skylight lit up his side face, he looked elegant.


    He was the son of a wealthy family and had received an elite education since childhood, so it was a


    piece of cake for him to write a marriage letter.


    Soon, ck ink touched the red paper.


    It wrote, "Till Death Do Us Apart."


    Natalie did not lean over to look until he almost finished it. The quill brushed across the paper,


    revealing his deep affection for her.


    Natalie leaned on his left shoulder while watching him write. Soon, she slowly lowered her head to


    prevent people from seeing her big grin.


    He turned to look at her and whispered, "Can you use the quill?"


    While speaking, he signed his name.


    Natalie suddenly found he was romantic, so she was fascinated by him! Therefore, she did not hear his


    question.


    Seeing her keep silent, he thought her answer was no. So, he took her hand and said, "I''ll teach you!"


    Then, he held her small hand and led her to sigh her name stroke by stroke.


    Kendrick and Natalie!


    His handwriting was neat, free, and elegant, so she thought he must have spent years practicing


    calligraphy.


    After the ink dried, she carefully folded the wedding letter, intending to keep it well at home.


    When she got in the car, the blush on her face had not faded yet. And she was still beaming with joy.


    When Kendrick was about to speak, she suddenly turned to look at him and said, "I wish time would


    stop at this moment!"


    Her silly look amused him. He raised his hand to touch her face and smiled, "What nonsense are you


    talking about?"


    The days ahead were long. The marriage letter had beenpleted, so the marriage contract was


    effective now. She would belong to him for the rest of her life.


    "Give me your left hand," he suddenly said.


    Natalie stretched out her hand to him in confusion and spread her palm.


    He held her hand, turned it over, and put a delicately woven straw ring on her ring finger.

 Chapter 173 I Miss You

    Chapter 173 IMiss You


    Chapter 173 I Miss You


    When Natalie had been gathering soil in the garden next to the ancestral temple, Kendrick had


    apanied her, picked up a straw, and woven it into a delicate ring. He had dotted the ring with a


    blue flower after looking for it for a long time.


    It was romantic for a rich young man with a worth of hundreds of billions to give her a straw ring!


    "Ms. Quinn, the ring is simple. I hope you won''t dislike it!"


    He had solemnly called her Ms. Quinn instead of Nat as if it were their first meet.


    After Natalie had asked him if he liked her that day, he had thought about it for a long time.


    He had never chased after her and had missed all the necessary rituals, so she felt insecure. Although


    they were married, they still needed a sense of ceremony in their life.


    He added, "I''ll give you a diamond ring soon. You just need to wait for it!"


    He would buy a super big fancy-vivid level diamond ring. It would be at least 20 carats. Otherwise, it


    would not be worthy of Nat who was the best person in the world! But there had not been such a


    diamond at auctions recently, so he needed to wait.


    He wanted to buy a pink diamond which was more suitable for a marriage proposal, but Nat seemed to


    prefer blue. Maybe he should buy two rings for her.


    After thinking about it, Kendrick decided to keep a low profile and stay mysterious. It would be boring if


    it did not surprise her.


    Once a man cared about a woman, he would naturally be romantic.


    Natalie raised her hand before her eyes, pretended it was a real ring, took a deep breath, and


    eximed, "Look! It''s shining!"


    After putting her hand down, she said, "I will keep it in a box when we return home."


    It was too exaggerated!


    Kendrickughed, "Why don''t you boil it and make it a specimen?"


    "Good idea!"


    When the method for making leaf specimens in biology textbooks shed through Natalie''s mind, she


    identally saw faint bloodstains on his fingertip. It seemed he had gotten hurt when looking for the


    ring materials.


    He was noble and cold, so he should not have used his hands to do such things.


    She instantly held his hand up and blew it. She felt so distressed that she sucked his finger.


    When her warm and humid mouth wrapped around his slightly tingling finger, he instantly raised his


    eyes in shock.


    Natalie widened her eyes to look at him, unaware her action was a fatal temptation for a man.


    Kendrick felt thirsty. His Adam''s apple rolled up and down, and his deep eyes darkened.


    After cleaning up the blood stains with the tip of her tongue, she wiped his fingers with an alcohol swab


    and said, "The cut is small, so it will heal soon."


    He withdrew his hand and covered his eyes, suppressing his sexual urges.


    --


    Natalie arranged her domestic affairs, packed her luggage, and flew to Audale in the early morning.


    Getting into the private jet, she once again felt nice to be rich.


    Kendrick had bought this Gulfstream G650 the year beforest for international long-distance business


    trips.


    Seth was more tolerant toward Kendrick because of thetter''s health condition. When Melvin had


    wanted to buy a private jet, Seth had objected. The old man was clear about many things but inevitably


    had limitations.


    When the nended at the airport in Audale, Alin hade to pick her up after taking Kendrick''s


    order. The mixed-race girl looked haggard. But seeing Natalie, she still smiled, "Nat, nice to meet you.


    I''m Alin. Kendrick''s cousin!"


    After a briefmunication, Alin drove Natalie to the hotel. She would take her to visit Susan


    tomorrow.


    Natalie then read the document from Owen to study Susan''s condition in the hotel room.


    The tumor had widely spread. They could only cut part of it and then remove the rest.


    But it required urate surgical skills. Any mistake could cause Susan''s death. That was why the


    medical team was reluctant to conduct the surgery. No one dared to take the risk.


    So, they had dyed the surgery until now and tried to prolong Susan''s life with conservative


    treatment.


    Natalie had a surgery n. But the surgery would take a long time. She was not sure whether she


    would hold on for so long. After all, her health condition was not good either. Moreover, the risk was


    high. The chief surgeon must have courage and perseverance under increasing pressure.


    Natalie took mtonin at night. But after going to bed, she could hear her heartbeat. She raised her


    hand to stroke her chest and found she was not sleepy at all.


    Looking at the time, she knew it was early morning at home. She somehow picked up her phone and


    sent a goodnight message to Kendrick.


    Unexpectedly, he quickly replied, "Why haven''t you slept?"


    Thinking she was tired from the long flight, he had nned to call her tomorrow after she had a good


    sleep.


    "I lost sleep because I miss you!" Natalie tremblingly said and sent him a voice message.


    Kendrick quickly called her, and his voice gave her greatfort.


    Although she was so sleepy that she couldn''t open her eyes, she still said, "I want to hear you read a


    poem!"


    He hoarsely said, "Okay! What poem do you want to hear?"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    His deep voice had a hint of sleepiness, so she guessed he had also lost sleep.


    Natalie smiled, "A love poem! Have you ever written a love poem?"


    Of course not.


    Amidst the sound of the electric current, his clear and gentle voice slowly began to read a love poem.


    After passing through thousands of miles, it reached her ears.


    I want to live with you in a small town,


    We will share the endless evening and church bells,


    In the inn of this small town,


    The ancient clock faintly ticks like time gently dripping,


    Sometimes, we hear fluting from a room on the top floor at dusk,


    The yer leans against the window with a big tulip.


    --


    Natalie went to the hospital to see Susan in the morning.


    Audale''s morning was cold and quiet. The birch trees'' fallen leaves whirled on the ground. But Natalie


    didn''t have time to look at them. She hurried to Susan''s intensive care unit, who was unconscious.


    "Susan!" Natalie sat down, held her hand, and said, "I''m Natalie, I came to see you."


    She put the soil from her hometown on the table next to the hospital bed and said, "This is the soil from


    your hometown."


    Tears rolled down Susan''s temples because she could hear.


    People wandered around the world in pursuit of dreams. But most of them wanted to go back to the


    ce where they had been born and grown up in the end because of their eternal memories. However,


    too many fetters such as lovers and children prevented them from returning. So, they must choose


    between the past and the present.


    No matter where they would be buried, they did not want regrets.


    Natalie took out a tissue to wipe Susan''s tears off and said, "You will be fine. Please trust me."


    --


    Natalie met Susan''s medical team and chatted with her attending doctor Roy in the afternoon.


    Owen had talked with him in advance, so theirmunication was smooth.


    But when she said they should continue the surgery to remove the tumor, Roy hesitated, unwilling to


    take this risk. So, she patiently exined her n to convince him it was feasible.


    When their talk reached an impasse, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open.


    Then, a cold and calm male voice said outside, "Roy, please trust her!"

 Chapter 174 Natalies Secret

    Chapter 174 Natalie''s Secret


    Chapter 174 Natalie''s Secret


    Owen had been worried about her, so he had taken the earliest flight here. The long journey made him


    look tired, but his steps were firm. As a top expert, he had a high voice in the field of neuro medicine.


    Although they were good friends, Roy still respected his opinions very much.


    After he arrived, theirmunication became much smoother. After convincing Roy to perform another


    tumor cell removal operation on Susan, he turned around and whispered, "Natalie, Are you okay?"


    Natalie nodded.


    He said, "I''ll help you! So will Roy!"


    He directly made Roy a medical assistant.


    After finishing speaking, he patted Roy on the shoulder andforted him, saying, "When I publish a


    scientific research experiment article next time, I will add your name."


    It was a huge temptation. Many people dreamed of researching and publishing a joint research article


    with Owen! It was equivalent to directlynding on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise without


    climbing from the foot of the mountain step by step. And it felt great to be favored by a big shot!


    Owen had always been cautious and prudent in academics, so those who did scientific research with


    him must go through a strict selection process. He had made such a decision now because he wanted


    to return the favor.


    Roy took the olive branch from him without hesitation.


    --


    It was dusk when Owen and Natalie left the hospital.


    Owen was wearing a smoky gray woolen coat, making him look tall and thin. He was worried about her,


    so he followed her here. That was all he could do. He could not do anything more because he did not


    want to cross the line. He must keep a polite distance. It was the social intercourse code his mother


    had taught him. And he had kept it in mind all the time.


    He pointed to the bench on the side of the road and said, "Sit down. You seem confident about Susan''s


    operation."


    Natalie nodded, "It will beplicated, but I''m confident."


    "That''s good!" Owen let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I was afraid you can''t hold on because of


    your health condition, so I rushed here."


    "Thank you!"


    Owen smiled, "Have you read yourst medical report?"


    "Not yet!"


    "There is something wrong with your heart."


    Owen solemnly said in confusion, "It is congenital stenosis of therge arteries, so the side effects after


    the injection of C7 are severe."


    He continued with a frown, "You have never told me about it!"


    If he had known it, he would not have agreed.


    Natalie showed a surprised look. But it was not her fault because she did not know the original owner''s


    body had this problem.


    It was not a big deal because it would not have a big effect on her daily life and work. But she could not


    work in stressful careers.


    Now, she finally understood why she had felt so ufortable after the injection of C7.


    Owen saw a clue from her expression, so he asked in surprise, "Didn''t you know it before?"


    Natalie was speechless because he had noticed her shock.


    She lowered her voice and said, "I did not feel ufortable until that day, so I didn''t pay attention."


    Owen frowned, thinking she was talking nonsense.


    After a few words of advice, he knew she would not listen because of her stubborn character. So, he


    looked up at a bare tree and said, "You have sacrificed so much for him. Have you ever considered


    your interest?"


    He thought she was stupid. When she was in love with Keh, she was willing and eager to do


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    anything for him.


    Natalie pursed her lips and said, "It''s not just because of him. My professional ethics require me to do


    so."


    She looked at him and continued, "We vowed on the first day we became doctors..."


    When I became a member of the medical profession, I solemnly pledged myself to dedicate everything


    to the service of humanity.


    ...


    I would maintain the utmost respect for human life.


    ...


    I made thesemitments solemnly and voluntarily. And I would never go back on my word.


    Owen sighed in the wind. It was lucky for people to meet like-minded friends. He thought he was


    extremely to meet Natalie.


    But he still tenderly said, "You should also think about yourself. If you keep sacrificing, you will feel


    tired. You should learn to ask for returns. Your personality is like that of my mother!"


    Their love and hate were clear and straightforward. Once they chose to believe you, they would give


    you everything without reservation. But if you betrayed them, they would have no tolerance.


    When talking about his mother, Owen showed a look of admiration.


    Natalie praised, "She must be an elegant and greatdy. After all, she raised you into an outstanding


    genius!"


    Owen smiled, "She is a real genius, so being her child is sometimes stressful. If I lie to her, she will


    soon find out."


    He turned to face Natalie and asked, "What about you? Your parents must have been open-minded


    too."


    Natalie''s eyes instantly dimmed.


    After a long silence, she said, "I don''t have parents!"


    Owen was the first person in this world to know her secret.


    "After they abandoned me, I was adopted." Natalie tly said, "I have never met my biological parents


    and don''t know why they abandoned me."


    She was so outstanding with a strong learning ability. She could master the skills within a few days that


    others would spend a month or even three months learning.


    Owen frowned, "Have you nned to look for them?"


    "I thought about it before." Natalie said, "My teacher and his wife who adopted me have tried to help


    me find them. But there is no news after so many years. I guess they don''t want to see me."


    Owen frowned.


    "You know what?" Natalie earnestly said, "I hate people choosing between me and others because I


    am always the one who they decide not to choose!"


    Those who had been abandoned in childhood usually did not have any sense of security even if they


    grew up into outstanding people. They were afraid of being abandoned again, so they actively pursued


    what they wanted and always expected to be the first and the only choice.


    Owen didn''t know how tofort her. He empathized with her and said, "I was adopted too."


    Natalie looked at him in surprise.


    "We have the same suffering!" Owen faintly smiled, "Don''t doubt yourself because of other people''s


    mistakes!"


    Everyone had their wounds and would silently cry and lick them in the dark. After daybreak, they would


    continue to pretend nothing bad had happened.


    Natalie covered her face with both hands for a while and nodded in relief, "Your words make sense. By


    the way, this is my secret. And I haven''t told anyone about it."


    Owen was surprised because he had thought she had told Kendrick. But now, he became the first to


    know her secret! This trip was worth it!


    Owen solemnly swore, "I will keep it a secret and never mention it to anyone!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Natalie''s phone rang.


    Seeing her smile, he guessed who the caller was.


    Well, speak of the devil, and Kendrick called.

 Chapter 175 Wish You All Well

    Chapter 175 Wish You All Well


    Chapter 175 Wish You All Well


    Kendrick was very worried about Natalie.


    But he couldn''t fly back to her right now.


    Natalie answered the phone and adjusted her voice so as not to expose her emotions.


    In the cold wind on the street of a foreign country, Natalie was naturally overjoyed when she received


    Kendrick''s call.


    "Susan''s condition is not as bad as we thought!" Natalie said in a soft tone, "The doctor said she could


    have a second operation to prolong her life."


    Kendrick said happily, "This is good news!"


    "Yes, I have already visited Susan and given her a gift. She is still conscious." Natalie told Kendrick in


    detail about Susan''s situation.


    At this moment, Kendrick was making a ring specimen.


    While wearing a Bluetooth headset to talk to Natalie, Kendrick fixed the grass ring he made and put it in


    boiling water before dyeing it.


    After doing all this, Kendrick carefully packed the ring in a velvet gift box and put it in the cab where


    the marriage certificate was.


    Making a specimen of the grass ring was a delicate and energy-consuming job, which also needed


    Kendrick to focuspletely on it.


    Therefore, the time Nigel reported work was dyed. When he came to Wonder Vi, he saw Kendrick


    holding a magnifying ss to color the grass. Nigel wondered if his boss was suddenly interested in


    botany.


    "I made a specimen of the grass ring I gave you." Kendrick immediately told Natalie what he made.


    "Then it won''t dry up and fade!"


    Kendrick thought, "And it will be verdant forever, as fresh as our love and first encounter."


    Natalie didn''t expect Kendrick to really listen to her to make a specimen, and she felt very moved.


    Natalie looked at the buskers in the square, who were ying violin music in the sunset.


    Natalie said to Kendrick, "Hold on!"


    She stood up and walked over there. Then she politely asked one of the buskers in Fayman if she


    could y his violin.


    The other party was very friendly and handed her his violin.


    Natalie tested the violin''s sound and said to Kendrick, "Here we go!"


    The melodious song came with the movements of Natalie''s fingertips.


    "In my arms.


    "In your eyes.


    "The spring breeze is refreshing.


    "The green grass is like a cushion.


    "My life is short.


    "Too short to prove the deep affection.


    "On a certain day.


    "You suddenly appeared.


    "You are clear and mysterious."


    ...


    In a foreign country, Natalie yed her favorite song on the violin for Kendrick in the winter dusk.


    Tourists and pedestrians on the square stopped to look at Natalie for her dulcet song.


    Even Owen turned around in front of the fountain to listen to the song. He looked across and found that


    Natalie was ying the violin.


    It was a song he had never heard before.


    It was so melodious, telling Natalie''s iparable and deep affection.


    Owen lowered his head and stared at his toes.


    After a while, he raised his face and began to apud for the beautiful music and also for Natalie.


    Owen thought Natalie was so alive and versatile with her catching song.


    After that, Owen threw a coin into the wishing fountain.


    He thought, "Wish her all well! Hope she gets all she wants!"


    ...


    With Owen''s help, Natalie was not so nervous when she operated on Susan.


    Owen gave Natalie great confidence and courage and shared a lot of her stress.


    Natalie showed her superb surgical skills that were epoch-making in front of Owen.


    The operation ended at five o''clock in the morning.


    Natalie rested until ten o''clock in the morning.


    Hearing that Susan was awake, Natalie went to the ward and carefully removed the gauze covering


    Susan''s eyes.


    Susan recovered a little eyesight after adapting to the indoor light.


    Susan looked at the attending doctor she was familiar with and asked weakly, "Roy, did you save me?"


    Roy replied under Owen''s gaze, "To be precise, it''s Dr. Quinn!"


    He thought, "By contrast, it''s more tempting to do research and publish papers with the big cheese."


    He pushed Natalie over and said, "Mrs. Susan, she is the surgeon who performed your operation!"


    Natalie held Susan''s skinny hand on the bed and said, "Susan, all the tumors have been cleared, and


    you will soon regain your eyesight and health."


    Susan moved her mouth slightly.


    Natalie approached Susan''s ear and heard Susan thank her in a weak voice.


    Susan didn''t recover her eyesightpletely, so she couldn''t see Natalie''s appearance clearly. She


    only felt that Natalie''s voice was very familiar as if she had heard it somewhere. However, Susan didn''t


    recoverpletely, so she had no time and energy to think it over.


    Natalie didn''t bother Susan to rest anymore. She just walked out of the ward and said, "I have to pack


    my bags and go back."


    "You haven''t told Susan about your identity!"


    Natalie smiled and said, "There is no rush. I can talk to her when she gets better."


    Owen nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll stay here."


    He had to stay and observe Susan''s situation to ensure that her follow-up condition was stable.


    Owen continued to say with great emotion, "Natalie, you don''t seem to be from this era!"


    Natalie smiled slightly and thanked Owen.


    If it weren''t for Owen''s help, Natalie didn''t know if she could sessfullyplete such aplicated


    operation.


    Owen pressed his lips and said, "Don''t be polite. It''s my pleasure to know you!"


    He looked at Natalie, with respect, trust, and admiration in his eyes!


    Natalie thought, "It is also my luck to meet these outstanding people who are at the top in this era on


    this special journey."


    Natalie''s mood couldn''t be described in words at this moment. She was excited and breathed a sigh of


    relief, feeling that she had finallypleted a sacred thing. Natalie had a lump in her throat and finally


    said with tears rolling down, "Me too!"


    ...


    After having a rest for a day, Natalie set off to fly back to Hamgrad.


    Owen told Natalie that Susan''s health was improving, and Susan would recover smoothly if there was


    no problem after an observation for another week.


    In the end, Owen said, "Natalie, take care of yourself and go to the hospital immediately if you feel


    unwell!"


    Natalie nodded and said, "I feel good for the time being. Thanks to you for sharing so much pressure


    for me."


    Owen said, "Have a pleasant journey!"


    He thought, "Kendrick may be waiting for her."


    Natalie slept soundly on the ne all the way and finallynded in the capital of Hamgrad.


    It was already 11 p.m. when Natalie arrived.


    She sent a text message to Kendrick in advance, saying that she was back.


    Natalie wanted Kendrick to pick her up, but when she thought that Kendrick was not convenient for his


    legs, she just sent the text message, "I will be home soon."


    Kendrick just replied with a positive answer.


    There were few people in the huge departure lounge in winter.


    When Natalie came out of the premier ess, she saw a figure in front of her.


    Kendrick was waiting for Natalie alone at the airportte at night.


    He didn''t tell Natalie that he woulde to pick her up, so it was a surprise for her.


    At that moment, Natalie ran towards Kendrick, like a child rushing into the arms of an adult. She half


    squatted and put her arms around Kendrick''s neck tightly.


    Nothing excited Natalie more than the moment she saw Kendrick.


    Natalie had a lot to tell Kendrick.


    She wanted to tell him that she had done another thing that everyone said was impossible.


    She wanted to tell him that she fought against death to save Susan.


    However, when Natalie smelled the clean and fresh cedar scent from Kendrick''s clothes, she only shed


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    tears.

 Chapter 176 Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

    Chapter 176 Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder


    Chapter 176 Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder


    The airport was empty, allowing Natalie to release her emotions to the fullest.


    Natalie had been anxious and tense every day for the past five days.


    Fortunately, in the end, all the results were reassuring.


    Especially when Owen came to help Natalie, she felt at ease.


    When Natalie got in the car, she gradually calmed down. She sniffed and said, "Susan is already


    awake and under observation, but she''s okay."


    Kendrick took out a tissue to wipe Natalie''s tears.


    He thought, "It turns out that she is a crybaby."


    After all, Natalie had experienced life and death personally, and who she faced was Kendrick''s family,


    which was also one of her few rtives in this world. Therefore, it was normal for Natalie to have


    emotional ups and downs.


    At this time, Natalie just needed a man who could support her without any words and who could just


    wait for her emotions to dissipate.


    Natalie was always calm and even a little arrogant to the outside world. Even though she deliberately


    restrained her high-wattage aura, she could not hide itpletely.


    Only in front of Kendrick, Natalie could cry andugh and didn''t feel ashamed at all.


    As the saying went, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."


    Natalie wanted to say a few more words, but Kendrick stopped her, "You need to get some rest, and


    we''ll talk about it when we get home."


    "I''ve taken a break on the ne!" Natalie leaned on Kendrick''s shoulder and said, "I''m not sleepy at all


    after I see you."


    Kendrick chuckled. He turned his face and gently kissed Natalie''s forehead. Then he said, "Are you


    hungry? What do you want to eat?"


    Hearing this, Natalie was so excited and she told Kendrick about several kinds of food in one breath.


    "That''s so much. Aren''t you afraid of retention of food?" Kendrick was surprised, but still asked Ashlynn


    to prepare the food.


    Kendrick was in a good mood and ordered Ashlynn in a gentle tone. He even thanked Ashlynn.


    Hearing Kendrick''s words, Ashlynn was scared and hurriedly said, "You''re wee. This is my duty."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick and said with a smile, "You scared her. It seems that you usually treat her


    harshly!"


    Kendrick pinched Natalie''s mouth into a t mouth, looking at her annoyed appearance, with a smiling


    face.


    In the past few days when Natalie was away, Kendrick had no appetite for food and drinks, and all he


    wanted to do was fly to her and stay with her.


    The moment Kendrick saw Natalieing out of the airport, he was relieved, but he didn''t show it.


    Natalie also wanted to pinch Kendrick''s mouth, but Kendrick avoided her. She was not happy,


    muttering, "It''s not fair. I''m going to be angry."


    Hearing this, Kendrick obediently did not move anymore.


    Natalie held Kendrick''s face in both hands and was about to kiss him on the lips.


    The atmosphere was intimate.


    Natalie thought, "Maybe I can have a romantic deep kiss. I saw many couples having a long and deep


    kiss on the street in the square."


    Suddenly, Natalie''s cell phone rang.


    It was a colleague calling.


    She said, "As of 1 a.m. on November 11th, the total sales of Flower Face have exceeded 15 million


    dors."


    In other words, the goal set by Natalie was achieved.


    The great joy stunned Natalie and made her forget to kiss Kendrick. She held Kendrick''s face and said,


    "I''ve aplished my goal."


    15 million dors!


    It was a record-breaking sales volume.


    Natalie thought, "I must hold my head high when Ie to thepany after I have a good rest.


    Everyone has to praise me!"


    Natalie calcted her annual dividend for a while. After knowing the result was a huge number, she


    couldn''t control her excitement and said, "Am I going to be a rich woman?"


    Natalie had never seen so much money in her life.


    Although the money was not enough for Kendrick to buy a ring, he was still infected by Natalie''s joy. He


    looked at Natalie with a gentle smile and asked, "What is the first thing you want to do after being a rich


    woman?"


    "Keep a handsome man..."


    Before Natalie could finish her words, Kendrick''s face darkened in an instant.


    Kendrick thought, "Well, sure enough. When a woman gets rich, she ceases to be faithful."


    Natalie scratched her hair and said tensely, "Oh, repay the money, right? I''ll pay you back right away!"


    She directly transferred a huge sum of money to Kendrick and added a note that it was the fee for her


    sugar baby.


    Kendrick was speechless.


    But he thought having a sugar mama seemed to be good after a second thought.


    After epting the money, Kendrick also transferred twice as much money to Natalie.


    Natalie was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"


    "You can buy all the things you want!" Kendrick reminded Natalie.


    Kendrick thought, "To love someone is to buy her everything she wants!"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Natalie thought Kendrick was so crazy!


    Natalie immediately opened the shopping application and paid for everything she wanted.


    Perhaps to celebrate the special day, someone set off fireworks over the city at midnight.


    Natalie, who had been single for more than 20 years, was finally no longer alone this year.


    She looked at the sky full of fireworks outside the car window and thought, "Fate is really amazing. A


    year ago, I could never guess what would happen today. I am so lucky."


    ...


    The two of them held their fingers tightly in the car until they reached home.


    It was warm in the house.


    The servants had already prepared warm soup waiting for Natalie toe back.


    The warmth of home made Natalie feel that her choice was not wrong.


    She thought solemnly, "Since I''m capable, I want everyone around me to be safe and healthy and no


    longer suffer from illness. I have to protect myself too! I must be sure to be healthy so that I can spend


    money freely! Otherwise, I will make so much money in vain. I still want to be a rich woman!"


    Kendrick was talking to Alin over there.


    Alin said that Susan''s eyesight had recoveredpletely and her health was gradually improving,


    calling it a miracle.


    Alin also thanked Natalie specifically, saying that she had brought good luck.


    Kendrick hung up the phone and looked out the window at the beautiful fireworks in the sky.


    He wondered if he should also believe in luck.


    It seemed that from one day on, he had gone from an unloved child to a much-loved man.


    All his wishes could be fulfilled.


    Both his work and life had be simple and easy.


    Kendrick turned his face to look at Natalie and found that she was sitting at the dining table for a voice


    conference. He guessed that she was probably sharing the joy with her colleagues.


    Kendrick looked at the soup with just a few mouthfuls on the table. He knocked on the table and said,


    "If you don''t eat, it will get cold."


    "It''s over soon!" said Natalie.


    Kendrick frowned and said, "It''s sote. You can talk about it tomorrow!"


    Natalie''s Bluetooth headset ran out of juice, so Kendrick''s voice was heard when the phone was on


    speaker.


    "Natalie, who is talking?"


    "My husband!"


    "It scared me! I thought it was Mr. Ramsey!" The colleague in charge of operations patted her chest


    and said, "I almost had a heart attack after hearing such a familiar and scary voice at night!"


    Natalie was speechless!


    Kendrick was also speechless and thought, "What''s wrong with my voice? Why does my voice sound


    scary?"


    Before Kendrick could ask, Natalie put her hand over his mouth.


    Natalie shook her head, signaling to Kendrick not to talk.


    Kendrick refrained from speaking, holding the soup and feeding Natalie one spoon at a time.


    The meeting didn''t end until 1:30 a.m. At this moment, Natalie finally felt sleepy. After a long yawn, she


    looked at Kendrick in a daze and asked, "Please blow-dry my hairter, okay?"

    Chapter 177 I''m Going to Propose


    Chapter 177 I''m Going to Propose


    The question was not just as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    After blow-drying Natalie''s hair, Kendrick and Natalie certainly slept together!


    Kendrick had been thinking about how to sleep with Natalie in the same room recently.


    In the past, the two of them were strangers under one roof, and they couldn''t even say a word when


    they met each other.


    However, now their rtionship had progressed to a certain extent.


    In other words, most couples had already slept together.


    Only they lived together but slept in separate rooms. No couple in the world could be like this.


    Natalie didn''t take the initiative to mention it. Kendrick thought, " Maybe she is more ustomed to


    sleeping alone and wants to sleep together in the future. It seems that she is too shy to speak first."


    ...


    Natalie took a hot bath and came out.


    Kendrick was already sitting on the bed waiting for Natalie.


    They were in the master bedroom whose decoration waster changed into a sky-blue warm style by


    Natalie, just like her character.


    Kendrick waved at Natalie. When she sat down, he stretched out his hand to untie her shower cap,


    wrapped her hair in a towel, and rubbed her head like rubbing a puppy.


    Natalie directlyy on Kendrick''sp with her eyes closed and obediently let him dry her hair.


    Kendrick''s pampering made Natalie insatiable, and she asked him to massage her temples. Natalie


    said that she had a little bit of a migraine from the fatigue of the journey.


    Kendrick held a hair dryer in one hand to blow dry Natalie''s hair and massaged her scalp with the


    other.


    "Honey, your massage skills are good. If you are not the CEO, you can also support yourself with your


    skills." Nataliemended in a sincere tone, and it didn''t seem to be a joke.


    Kendrick was speechless and thought, "Thank you for thinking about it for me."


    He smiled and asked, "If I''m not the CEO, will you support me?"


    "Yes, but you can''t drink the pure water purified from the snow-capped mountains, you can''t live in a


    vi with constant temperature and humidity controlled by central air-conditioning, and you can''t afford


    to raise an orchid worth tens of thousands of dors. You may have a rough time with me."


    Natalie thought, "These are so expensive, so material life has to no longer be luxurious."


    Kendrick pinched Natalie''s face and said, "Then you should make money quickly!"


    Natalie was speechless.


    Damn!


    Natalie originally thought Kendrick would say with deep feeling, "It''s okay. I can endure hardship as


    long as you''re with me."


    Natalie opened her eyes, and both of them looked at each other affectionately. She gestured through


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    her eyes, indicating that love was not based on a material foundation but rather paid more attention to


    spiritual resonance so that the feelings would be sublimated immediately.


    Natalie stroked Kendrick''s chin and snorted, "I know you don''t want to endure hardship with me."


    Natalie thought, "The CEO of the Ramsey Group! What an exalted man! He always stands at the top. It


    doesn''t matter to y harmless jokes with me to have fun. But if he really bes down, it must be


    something I don''t want to see."


    Natalie closed her eyes again and said, "Harder here. Massage more!"


    Kendrick followed Natalie''s orders.


    After blow-drying Natalie''s hair, Kendrick got out of bed.


    Natalie felt Kendrick was gone, so she asked while she was still conscious, "Where are you going?"


    "Bring the pillow here!"


    Kendrick slept with Natalie without a pillowst time, and he almost got a stiff neck.


    Therefore, Kendrick must bring his pillow this time anyway.


    He thought, "It would be best if my pillow could always be here in the future."


    A few minutester, Natalie felt a gust of wind pouring in a daze and then felt Kendrick''s smell.


    Kendrick patted her on the shoulder and said, "Move in there!"


    Then Kendrick kissed Natalie''s lips and took the opportunity to ask, "I will sleep here from now on,


    okay?"


    "Okay!" Natalie agreed quickly in a drowsy state. She continued to say, "But you have to blow-dry my


    hair every day!"


    Kendrick thought, "Fine! I''ll take it as pleasing a wealthy woman!"


    He stroked Natalie''s eyes and brows, kissed her lips again, and held her in his arms.


    At this moment, he was finally at ease after worrying for many days.


    Natalie was too tired and was sleeping with shallow breathing.


    Kendrick tried his best to restrain himself.


    Finally, he just repeatedly kissed Natalie''s lips gently with deep feelings.


    He thought sadly and happily, "The days ahead are long!"


    ...


    "This 20-carat pillow-cut Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond currently belongs to Duke Rhett as a private


    collection. He has no ns to auction it for the time being."


    Holding the iPad, Brock reported the information he had collected to Kendrick in the training room.


    While doing leg training, Kendrick asked, "Have youmunicated with him?"


    He thought, "Regardless of the price, I want to get the diamond."


    "I have alreadymunicated, but he said that it was a treasure left by his grandmother, Queen


    Hadley, so he doesn''t want to auction it publicly!" Brock said in embarrassment.


    Kendrick sneered and thought, "He just wants more money."


    He raised his eyes and nced at Brock with deep eyes.


    Brock understood and did the action of twisting his neck, as if saying, "I will let someone assassinate


    him and definitely help you get the diamond."


    Kendrick frowned and said, "Can you have some legal awareness? Is that what I usually teach you?"


    Brock thought, "Kill whoever is disobedient, isn''t it? Resolve all problems with absolute force. There is


    nothing that cannot be solved with a gun against the forehead. Isn''t this what you did to me before?


    Why are you pretending to bew-abiding now?"


    Kendrick paused and said, "I must get this pink diamond, so you can just inform him directly."


    Brock touched his head and said, "Then I willmunicate with him again and try not to use violent


    means!" After thinking for a moment, Brock solemnly asked, "But as a collection, this diamond has no


    greater room for appreciation."


    It was not in line with Kendrick''s consistent investment logic.


    "Who told you I''m going to collect it?" Kendrick gave a dirty look at Brock.


    Kendrick thought, "Why has he be more and more stupid recently? The nutrition of the brain has


    definitely been absorbed by the strong muscles! What''s the use of exercising his muscles like this?


    He''s still single! He can''t even guess the simple thing that I want to get the diamond to make the


    diamond ring."


    Brock indeed didn''t guess right.


    He didn''t think that someone would walk on the street wearing a 20-carat pink diamond ring because


    the finger with the ring would be easily broken by a robber.


    "If you don''t want to collect it, do you want to rationalize your funds by buying it?" Brock simply and


    directly expressed his doubt.


    Kendrick thought, "He really deserved to be taught by me before. He is so sensitive to the operation of


    funds now."


    Kendrick pressed his lips, held back his mean words, and said, "Go ask Nigel!"


    Brock dialed Nigel''s phone number and expressed his doubt.


    "Since he doesn''t want to collect it, he definitely wants to rationalize his funds and avoid taxes through


    arge transaction," Nigel answered solemnly. Then heughed and asked, "Who is it? Isn''t it Mr.


    Ramsey? He wants to buy the pink diamond. Is he going to propose? But he''s married!"


    Brock reminded Nigel, "I''m putting you on speakerphone!"


    Nigel''sughter stopped abruptly.


    Kendrick''s expression seemed to say, "You two idiots better get as far away as you can."


    Kendrick touched his chin and said coldly but gently, "That''s right. I''m going to propose with it!"

 Chapter 178 Shes Not Used to a Man in Her Room

    Chapter 178 She''s Not Used to a Man in Her Room


    Chapter 178 She''s Not Used to a Man in Her Room


    When Kendrick said this, he was expressionless yet with tenderness in his eyes.


    Brock thought, "Wow, a man who is in love is really gentle."


    Then he immediately said that he would persuade Duke Rhett to auction the diamond in public anyway.


    He continued to think, "If I''m not allowed to assassinate him, I can threaten appropriately and create a


    little surprise for him. I''m very good at it after all."


    Kendrick propped himself up against the hanging ring with both hands and then used his waist and legs


    to exert force to slowly stand up.


    This time Kendrick no longer felt the sharp pain in his legs asst time.


    Cayden hurried over and observed carefully. He finally motioned to Kendrick to let go of the ring to see


    if he could stand still.


    Kendrick loosened the ring and stood steadily.


    He counted to five seconds before letting Brock help him sit down.


    Now Kendrick still had to rely on external forces to stand up, but he could stand still after straightening


    up. Even if he could just stand for a short while, it was already a huge improvement.


    Cayden said that it was expected that Kendrick would be able to practice walking with a walking


    machine within three months at this recovery rate. But before that, Kendrick had to spend this period in


    his wheelchair.


    Kendrick wiped off the sweat from his forehead with the towel handed over by Brock and said, "I''m in


    no hurry!"


    Compared with before, Kendrick had been in a much more stable state of mind recently, and he had


    been training in strict ordance with Cayden''s instructions unhurriedly.


    Once, Kendrick was hesitant and uneasy, worrying about the oue.


    Natalie''s endless dedication and tolerance gave Kendrick a great sense of security. That day, when


    Nataliey in his arms and cried with jealousy, Kendrick suddenly realized that he was needed and


    relied on by her.


    All along, Kendrick thought that it was just he who needed Natalie unterally and humbly, because she


    was healthy and confident, and she could still have a wonderful life even if she left him.


    However, someone like Kendrick who had been warmed by the sun was unwilling to return to a dark,


    humid, and lonely corner.


    Therefore, Kendrick wanted to train harder so that he could stand up steadily as soon as possible.


    He thought, "What kind of expression will Natalie have when she sees the scene? Will she be so cute?


    Oh yes, I can sleep by her side justifiably when I go back tonight. Even if I don''t do anything, just


    holding her and smelling the fragrance in her hair is enough to make me happy."


    Brock watched Kendrick''s expression change three times in a second.


    Confusion, gentleness, and happiness were mixed, making Kendrick even look a bit evil.


    Brock didn''t know what Kendrick was thinking but guessed it must be rted to Natalie.


    Brock knew only Natalie could make Kendrick have so many expressions.


    Kendrick threw the towel to Brock and said in a great mood, "Drive me backter."


    ...


    The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.


    Natalie was taking a bath inside. She was in a good mood and was humming a song.


    It seemed that being rich indeed made her pleasant.


    The bathroom door opened with a click.


    Natalie came out, wrapping herself up in the bath towel casually. At first nce, she saw Kendrick, who


    had changed into loungewear, sitting by the bed waiting for her.


    Natalie immediately lowered her head and wrapped herself in the bath towel tightly. She asked in


    surprise, "Why are you here?"


    Natalie was used to living alone, so she was casual at home.


    Now, she was not used to the fact that there was a man in her room.


    Kendrick''s expression was strange.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Kendrick thought, "Sure enough, women often don''t keep their word. Last night, she said that she


    wanted me to blow-dry her hair every day."


    He said, "Come here. I''ll blow dry your hair!"


    Natalie grabbed the edge of her bath towel and whispered, "Wait a minute... I''ll change clothes first."


    She thought, "The bath towel seems to fall off at any time. It''s too dangerous."


    Natalie''s nightgown and clean underwear were thrown at the end of the bed. She was used to being


    casual, but when Kendrick''s gaze settled over, Natalie felt her face burning.


    They were now in the stage when young couples who had just fallen in love were ready to live together


    after holding hands and kissing, but still had reservations about each other, so it was very easy for


    Natalie to be shy.


    Kendrick stretched out his hand and prepared to hand the strawberry-patterned pure white underwear


    and nightgown over to Natalie.


    "I can do it myself!" Natalie hurriedly stopped Kendrick.


    She quickly ran over and took the underwear in her nightgown before Kendrick could touch them.


    "I''ll change into my nightgown," said Natalie in a flustered tone. Then she quickly thought of another


    thing, "Where is my bralette? I will go down for dinnerter, and I have to wear it."


    Natalie turned around and groped around for her bralette. Kendrick looked at her and asked, "What are


    you looking for?"


    "It''s..."


    A bra!


    Natalie looked very cute with her flushed face. Kendrick raised his hand and touched her face twice. He


    pulled out a flesh-colored bralette from the head of the bed and gave it to Natalie with his fingers


    holding the bra strap.


    Then he asked calmly, "Is this one?"


    Kendrick silently remembered the size.


    He thought, "I happen to be able to hold her breast in one hand."


    Natalie was speechless.


    She thought, "It''s just a piece of clothing. Nothing to be embarrassed about."


    Natalie lowered her eyes and took the bralette. She moved aside and changed her clothes with her


    back to Kendrick.


    Kendrick could only see Natalie''s delicate and beautiful shoulders and perfect shoulder des.


    After changing her clothes, Natalie finally stood upright. She said, "I sleep alone, so I''m used to being


    casual. I''ll throw everything on the bed and eat snacks in bed."


    Natalie thought, "Last time I drank water on the bed and spilled it into the quilt. Can he stand it? If not,


    we''d better sleep separately!"


    "Just don''t throw scissors and needles on the bed," said Kendrick.


    Natalie said nothing.


    Kendrick waved his hand and said, "Come here!"


    Natalie obediently walked over andy on Kendrick''sp, letting him blow dry her hair.


    "How do you feel about today''s recovery training?" asked Natalie. Then she continued, "It''s been a long


    time since I contacted Dr. Stein."


    "My bearing capacity is gradually improving." Kendrick gently held up Natalie''s long hair and said, "My


    limbs are also much more flexible and coordinated than before."


    Natalie thought, "In this case, he doesn''t need to have a second operation. Well, is Owen back?"


    "It''s great progress." Natalie continued to say, "If your lumbar spine is ufortable, you must tell


    Cayden immediately. Don''t get ahead of yourself."


    "Okay," Kendrick responded. He suddenly said curiously, "I didn''t see Dr. Gentry there today. I originally


    wanted to invite him to dinner."


    Kendrick thought, "Owen has paid a lot in my treatment process, and I should thank him well."


    While Kendrick was speaking, Natalie''s mobile phone on the bedside table rang.


    Kendrick picked it up and found it was a call from Owen.


    Kendrick paused for a moment and handed the phone to Natalie. He said, "It''s Owen."


    Natalie was speechless.


    Natalie thought, "It''s inappropriate to ask Kendrick to leave for a few minutes. But why is Owen calling


    me now? Is it about Susan? In that case, there is nothing Kendrick can''t know."


    Natalie answered the phone in front of Kendrick and put Owen on speakerphone.


    Natalie thought, "Hope Owen won''t say something surprising."


    "Natalie, I''ve contacted the biopharmaceuticalpany in Cruxham to get the special medicine. It will


    be sent out this week. After it passes customs, remember to sign for it and take the medicine on time."


    This special medicine could dte the aorta blood vessels and relieve heart difort, which was the


    medicine Natalie needed very much now.


    Owen''s voice sounded quite excited, but Natalie had mixed feelings.

 Chapter 179 You Are the Most Important

    Chapter 179 You Are the Most Important


    Chapter 179 You Are the Most Important


    Hearing no response, Owen asked, "Are you listening?"


    Natalie bit the bullet to reply, "Yes. Thank you, but I''m okay."


    "What special medicine?" A cold male voice sounded from the side.


    Owen didn''t respond.


    When Owen just wanted to say something, he heard the busy tone.


    Natalie directly hung up the phone.


    Kendrick frowned deeply and asked, "Why not let him finish?"


    Natalie began to seek a pretext quickly.


    "You''re taking medicine, aren''t you?" Kendrick finally realized something and asked, "Are you unwell?"


    Natalie said nothing.


    After a while of silence, Natalie evaded the first issue and just said, "Well, I''m just a bit ufortable."


    "Make it clear. Where are you ufortable?" Kendrick certainly did not allow Natalie to be


    perfunctory on this topic.


    Seeing that Natalie was silent, Kendrick took out his mobile phone and was about to call Owen.


    Natalie stopped Kendrick and said, "My heart." She held his wrist and said, "The rapid heartbeat and


    palpitations caused by anxiety and exertion of staying upte, but it''s not a big deal. Many people have


    it."


    "When did it start?"


    Natalie thought, "To be precise, it started after your surgery."


    "Recently!" Natalie responded. She scratched her hair and said, "As long as I have many things to do, I


    will be anxious. I''ll be okay after self-adjusting."


    "Did you feel ufortable before going to Audale?"


    In fact, Kendrick should have noticed it.


    Recently, Natalie''s emotions had been in a state of great ups and downs, and she looked exhausted


    after returning from Audale.


    "Why don''t you tell me?" Kendrick had a gloomy face. He thought, "If I had known that she was not


    feeling well, I would never have let her fly to Audale alone."


    Natalie felt Kendrick looked so fierce!


    Natalie was bewildered just like a child who was reprimanded by an adult.


    "Natalie," Kendrick called in a soft tone. Then he paused and said word by word, "You have always


    kept things from me!"


    "I haven''t," Natalie denied it, but it was obvious that she had a guilty conscience.


    "You liar!" Kendrick was furious and snapped, "Forget about other things, but why don''t you tell me you


    feel unwell?"


    Natalie thought, "I told Owen!"


    Of course, this was not the point.


    Although Kendrick was furious, he was still sane.


    "I... Don''t be angry." Natalie was helpless. She added, "In fact, it''s just like a cold and fever. I''ll be okay


    when it''s over."


    The experience of living under others'' thumbs at an early age made Natalie develop a character of


    relying on herself in everything.


    Natalie had never received the unique favor of others.


    She knew that she was not her father''s biological daughter.


    Therefore, she did everything in a measured way. She tried to solve things by herself without bothering


    others.


    Seeing that Natalie was still quibbling, Kendrick even wanted to p her ass. He took a long breath,


    calmed himself down, and asked, "Nat, what do you take me for?"


    Natalie thought, "It sounds like I betrayed him."


    Natalie didn''t know why Kendrick didn''t let the matter go. She bit her lip and said, "My husband!"


    Hearing this, Kendrick sneered, "Really? But I know you are unwell from another person!"


    Even though Kendrick controlled his emotions, he couldn''t suppress his anger.


    He felt that Natalie wasn''t dependent on him, which made him feel uneasy!


    "Owen is a doctor!" Natalie was helpless and continued to say, "He can give me professional advice!"


    Kendrick thought, "Well, she thinks it''s useless to tell me, right?"


    Kendrick was annoyed and regretful for letting Natalie fly to Audale alone when she was extremely


    ufortable.


    No matter how gentle Kendrick was usually, he had a very frosty and gloomy look in the light now.


    It made Natalie scared.


    Natalie didn''t want to quarrel, and she didn''t think she was wrong. She pulled Kendrick''s sleeve and


    said, "Let''s go down for a meal!"


    Kendrick was unmoved.


    Natalie said, "I didn''t want you to worry. You already have a lot of things to do every day, and you are


    deeply troubled. Besides, it just so happens that Susan is sick, so I don''t want to give you any trouble."


    Natalie was so sensible and caring, which made Kendrick''s heart hurt.


    But Kendrick didn''t need Natalie to be so sensible.


    Kendrick was very angry.


    Actually, he was more angry with himself why he didn''t notice that Natalie had been unwell during this


    period.


    Kendrick suddenly raised his head and said loudly in a fierce yet gentle tone, "When will you


    understand? You are the most important to me!"


    Natalie was stunned for a while.


    After speaking, Kendrick propped himself up on the bed, moved himself to the wheelchair, and left the


    room in silence.


    ...


    Couples in love would also have contradictions.


    Different ways of thinking would lead to different starting points for each other''s behavior, resulting in


    friction.


    It could be considered a sweet annoyance!


    On the one hand, Kendrick was angry that Natalie kept everything from him. On the other hand, he was


    also angry with himself because he didn''t notice her difort and even let her go to Audale.


    Kendrick thought, "Sure enough, sleeping in separate rooms means that there are many things I won''t


    know! Well, did I have a bad attitude toward herst night? She couldn''t even say a word."


    Kendrick sat at his desk, and the document was opened on the first page for three hours.


    A rtionship novice urgently needed a professional counselor.


    Kendrick thought, "Brock and Nigel, who are single, are not worthy of being counselors."


    When Kendrick was thinking about it, his office door was pushed open.


    Spencer came in with a stack of documents and said, "I have confirmed the list of personnel. Here you


    are!"


    Seeing that Kendrick didn''t respond, Spencer asked, "What are you thinking? Your expression is very


    solemn. Were you reprimanded by your wife?"


    Kendrick raised his head, looked at Spencer a few times, and suddenly said, "I have a friend."


    "Isn''t your friend me?" Spencer blinked his charming eyes and thought, "I am the only confidant since


    childhood!"


    "He quarreled with his girlfriend," said Kendrick.


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Spencer was speechless.


    "He was very angry because his girlfriend didn''t tell him when she was sick."


    What Spencer thought in his heart was that the friend Kendrick said was himself.


    Certainly, Spencer would not speak it out. After all, he had a high emotional quotient. But he still knew


    the general condition from Kendrick''s brief words.


    Spencer thought, "He just quarreled with his wife. And he doesn''t know how to reconcile!"


    "Both of them are right. One is afraid that the other is worried, and the other is out of concern," Spencer


    Kendrick said in confusion, "Isn''t it more worrying if she doesn''t tell her boyfriend? And there will be


    misunderstandings!"


    Spencer said at random, "She''s just like the heroine of a TV y. She will desperately hide it from the


    other party when she has a terminal illness or something. When the truthes out, the two hold their


    heads and cry bitterly, and their feelings will be sublimated all at once."


    As soon as Spencer finished his words, Kendrick looked at him fiercely, as if saying, "Shut the fuck up.


    Believe it or not, I will make you suffer from terminal illness immediately."


    Then, a stack of documents hit Spencer''s head, which made him jump up and down without any grace


    or demeanor.


    ...


    Because of Spencer''s words, Kendrick was very nervous and worried. He immediately called Natalie


    and ordered forcefully, "Go to the hospital for a physical examination now!"


    "But I don''t have an appointment!" Natalie said cautiously.


    "No need to make an appointment, just go!" Kendrick said peremptorily.


    Three hourster, all Natalie''s medical examination reports were sent to Kendrick''s mailbox.

 Chapter 180 Regain Dominance

    Chapter 180 Regain Dominance


    Chapter 180 Regain Dominance


    The medical examination reports were all about routine items, showing that Natalie only had anemia,


    and there were no other major problems.


    Kendrick thought, "Didn''t I say that all physiological and biochemical indicators need to be tested? Why


    did she just have a routine examination?"


    Kendrick immediately called the director of the hospital and asked him about it.


    The director replied trembling, "Mrs. Ramsey went back after the basic project of the physical


    examination. We advised her to do a cardiopulmonary and thoracic CT ording to your wishes, but


    she said it was very troublesome and she didn''t have time for the time being."


    The director was very clever. He shifted the me to Natalie.


    His words indicated that it was none of his business and that he had already informed Natalie


    ording to Kendrick''s request, but Natalie didn''t listen to him.


    Kendrick pressed his lips and hung up the phone.


    He thought, "Good, very good.


    I gave her too much freedom.


    Now she dares to follow her own temperament in everything.


    She had hidden her illness from me. Now she didn''t even want to have a health checkup.


    I must regain my dominance in the family!


    No one dares to disobey me."


    ...


    After the routine items, Natalie went home directly. On the way home, she read the medical


    examination reports and found she just had anemia and should pay attention to her diet and rest more,


    and there was no big problem.


    She didn''t do a cardiopulmonary examination because she thought it was troublesome, a waste of


    time, and useless.


    Natalie thought, "I''m clear about my own physical condition. The doctors dare not offend Kendrick and


    will report everything in detail to him. They may make a fuss, and I will probably not even be allowed to


    go to thepany at that time."


    At seven o''clock, Kendrick got home.


    Natalie just came down from upstairs and saw that Kendrick didn''t mean to say hello to her. She


    naturally put her outstretched hand behind her ears and pretended to run her fingers through her hair.


    Sure enough, Kendrick mentioned the matter at the table.


    Natalie said, "I have done all the medical examinations. Nothing else is necessary. Besides, it was too


    must be waiting for them to go home and have dinner together, so I didn''t want to waste their time."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    He said calmly, "Then go to the hospital tomorrow."


    Natalie reminded Kendrick, "Tomorrow I''ll have a retrospective meeting. I have to prepare my report."


    "I will notify all departments to postpone the meeting."


    Natalie looked at Kendrick in disbelief and said, "Don''t be so capricious!"


    "I don''t think I am the capricious one." Kendrick put down the fork in his hand and looked up at Natalie,


    which made her turn her face away.


    Kendrick thought, "I''m absolutely right on this.


    So, I''m not going to back down.


    What''s more, Natalie dared to hide it from me once, and she will do it again if I don''t teach her a


    lesson.


    Based on this...


    She may dare to hide something more important from me in the future!"


    Nataliepromised and said, "It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have kept this matter from you!"


    Kendrick thought Natalie didn''t confess her fault sincerely.


    Kendrick asked calmly, "Is that all?"


    He was calctingly trying to get words out of Natalie.


    Natalie didn''t know how to answer, because she knew there were so many things that she didn''t tell


    Kendrick.


    Seeing Natalie''s expression, Kendrick knew that she still kept something from him. He looked at


    Natalie with deep eyes, as if saying, "Sure enough, I know you''ve been hiding a lot of things from me."


    After warning Natalie in a soft way, Kendrick pretended to be generous and said, "I allow you to keep


    something from me, but since I know about this, you can''t go through the motions." He continued to say


    coldly and forcefully, "I will arrange for top international cardiologists toe and examine you."


    Kendrick didn''t tell Natalie that the cardiologists were expected to arrive next week.


    Natalie was stunned.


    But she quickly came around and thought, "This is his usual style of doing things! He will never


    Withplex emotions, Natalie calmed down for a while and said, "It''s not a big deal, and it''s not worth


    using such precious medical resources."


    Natalie thought, "If someone powerful asks me to see a patient and I have to go, I will definitely be very


    angry and feel I''m fooled when I find the other party has only a small skin injury."


    Moreover, Natalie was faintly worried Kendrick would find something.


    She thought, "The C7 I injected should have been metabolized by now. He''s not gonna find anything, is


    he?"


    Kendrick was silent and thought, "That''s a deal, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation."


    "I know my own body." Natalie continued to say, "I will have a good rest during this time."


    Kendrick responded, "Okay. Before the doctors arrive, you should always stay at home."


    Natalie was speechless.


    She widened her eyes and said, "I still have work to do."


    "Handle it at home!"


    Natalie said, "I also have a department party! The restaurant and the private room are already


    booked."


    "Didn''t you say to have a good rest yourself?" Kendrick raised his eyes and asked calmly.


    Kendrick thought, "She still wants to go to a party! She''s probably going to karaoke after the meal! She


    can only think about it now but can''t go! I can''t just let go of the matter of deceiving me. After all, I''m


    serious about regaining my dominance in the family."


    Natalie was speechless for an instant.


    She thought Kendrick was so overbearing and domineering.


    Natalie was not in the mood to have dinner at all, so she put down her fork and walked directly


    upstairs.


    "Come back!" Kendrick shouted in a deep voice.


    Kendrick thought angrily, "The physical examinations show that she is anemic and underweight. How


    dare she not have a meal!"


    Natalie was stopped by Kendrick''s roar and she thought, "It will be too humiliating for me to turn around


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    and go back! Humph, I''m not afraid of you!" Then Natalie lifted her legs and walked upstairs.


    Kendrick''s face instantly darkened, and the atmosphere became charged and stifling.


    Kendrick put down the fork in his hand and ordered slowly to Ashlynn, "Go and call her down."


    Ashlynn nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Mr. Ramsey."


    Kendrick continued to say in a deep voice, "If she doesn''te down, you can quit."


    Ashlynn immediately turned around and ran upstairs. She knew Kendrick was really angry.


    When Kendrick threatened people with an expressionless face, it meant that he was really angry and


    took the matter seriously. No one dared to disobey him at this time.


    ...


    After going back to the room, Natalie sat on the bed and thought calmly, "Are we arguing?


    In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong in this matter.


    If I encounter this situation again, I may still keep it a secret.


    So is this matter unsolvable?


    Sure enough, there would be no trouble if I wasn''t in love."


    Natalie casually took out a book named Love Psychology and read it lying on the bed.


    There was a knock on the door, and Ashlynn''s voice sounded. "Mrs. Ramsey, may Ie in?"


    "Yes!"


    Ashlynn lowered her head and walked in cautiously. She said, "Mr. Ramsey asked you to go down for


    dinner!"


    "I have no appetite," Natalie softly refused.


    "But..." Ashlynn was at a breaking point at this moment. Sure enough, people who worked for others


    would have to face such a dilemma. Ashlynn walked to Natalie''s bed, squatted down, and said in


    embarrassment, "If you don''t go down, I will be fired."


    Natalie said disapprovingly, "He''s just bluffing. Don''t be afraid."


    Ashlynn was anxious and turned pale. She almost cried and said, "No, Mrs. Ramsey. You don''t know


    about it. Mr. Ramsey always speaks seriously, and he never jokes."

 Chapter 181 You Just Want to Sleep With Me

    Chapter 181 You Just Want to Sleep With Me


    Chapter 181 You Just Want to Sleep With Me


    Ashlynn burst into tears and said to Natalie, "A long time ago, a maid was disobedient and wanted to


    seduce Mr. Ramsey, and it irritated Mr. Ramsey. Then his bodyguard directly broke her wrist and threw


    her out.


    "After that, all the contact information of this woman was cut off, and there was no news about her.


    "Besides, the result of a former driver sent by a rivalpany to steal trade secrets was very bad."


    Ashlynn trembled when she thought of the results of those people.


    She thought, "Today, in any case, I have to persuade her to go downstairs.


    Kendrick is invincible in business, not by virtue and courtesy.


    Whoever believes he''s a fucking gentleman and polite is an idiot.


    He was skilled in manipting people, tempering justice with mercy. That''s why Brock and others obey


    him with noint.


    Only Natalie is a special one. He never uses those means to deal with her."


    Natalie didn''t know these things. Listening to Ashlynn crying, she changed her look and asked, "Did he


    ask you to tell me that?"


    Ashlynn was even more scared. She shook her head hurriedly and replied, "No, I''m so scared that I


    say this without thinking." Ashlynn begged, "Mrs. Ramsey, please go downstairs for dinner, okay?"


    Natalie stared at Ashlynn and found that her face was pale with tears rolling down in fear.


    Natalie thought, "During this period, Kendrick''s gentleness has almost made me forget his original


    temper. He''s still arrogant and overbearing."


    Natalie sighed. She touched Ashlynn''s head and said, "OK!"


    Ashlynn breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Natalie profusely.


    ...


    Natalie returned to the dining table.


    Kendrick served her a bowl of warm sparerib soup.


    The cufflinks on Kendrick''s cuffs reflected light under the crystalmp overhead. Kendrick put the bowl


    in front of Natalie with his slender hand.


    He said gently and patiently, "Be careful not to burn your mouth."


    The atmosphere was no longer charged and oppressive. Kendrick looked gentle and kind under the


    light.


    Kendrick''s present image waspletely different from what Ashlynn just said as if he had never done


    those fearful things.


    This was human beings,plex and fickle.


    Natalie lowered her head and drank the soup quietly, looking obedient and docile on the side.


    Kendrick put a bowl of noodles in front of Natalie and said, "Have some noodles."


    Natalie didn''t dare to disobey Kendrick!


    While eating, Natalie felt that Kendrick was really annoying. She didn''t expect him to threaten her with


    the person around her and force her to submit.


    Kendrick saw Natalie''s expression.


    He guessed that she might scold him in her heart.


    He thought, "My dear wife is not obedient and has angered me, but I still have to take a fine line. I want


    to teach her a lesson and not make her sad. It''s really difficult!"


    Seeing Natalie endearingly eating with a fork and holding her bowl in her hand, Kendrick pinched her


    earlobe with a slight force, as if a punishment.


    Natalie gritted her teeth and turned her face to stare at Kendrick.


    Kendrick asked calmly yet meaningfully, "Are the noodles not delicious? Ask Ashlynn if she prepared


    the meal halfheartedly."


    Natalie only felt a rush of blood to the head.


    She knew that she hadpletely made Kendrick angry this time, and she estimated that he wouldn''t


    cool down for a short time.


    Just as Natalie expected, as soon as she finished the noodles, she saw Ashlynn take a big bag to the


    refrigerator. Ashlynn put all the ice cream Natalie secretly hid in the freezer into the bag. It seemed that


    Ashlynn was going to throw them away.


    Before, Kendrick turned a blind eye to the fact that Natalie ate ice cream in winter.


    But now it was obviously different.


    Kendrick wanted to throw all the ice cream away.


    "Don''t touch my ice cream," Natalie protested angrily, trying to stop Ashlynn.


    Kendrick directly grabbed Natalie''s wrist and pressed her on the chair.


    Natalie could only watch her various vors of ice cream taken out of the refrigerator.


    "Don''t throw them away," Natalie said hurriedly.


    She thought, "Anyway... It''s okay to give them away."


    Ashlynn said, "I''ll give them to themunity staff!"


    She smiled at Nataliefortingly, as if saying, "This is what Mr. Ramsey meant. I can''t help it."


    Ashlynn was in a constant state of tension, and she seemed to have a breakdown at any time.


    She thought, "Help! I feel this job is very dangerous. I really want to resign, but the boss pays me a lot."


    Natalie took a deep breath to calm down.


    She finally understood something and thought, "Kendrick isn''t a gentle and good-tempered husband!


    He is clearly overbearing and unreasonable. I praised how obedient my husband was in themunity


    Q&A before, and many women asked me how to make their husbands obedient. But now... It''s so


    embarrassing!"


    Natalie was so angry and asked with her cheeks puffing out, "Why are you having trouble with my ice


    cream? Did they provoke you?"


    "It''s winter now, and you will catch a cold easily."


    Natalie was speechless and thought, "Kendrick is the winner! It''s useless for me to say anything now. I


    have to obediently ept the doctor''s examination, stay at home, and not go anywhere these days.


    Only in this way, he can cool down."


    Sure enough.


    When Ashlynn came back, Kendrick told her to take good care of Natalie for the next few days. If


    Natalie was still unwell, Ashlynn would be responsible for it.


    Kendrick said this in front of Natalie.


    In addition, he also said that Natalie''s colleagues, who liked to send her work text messageste at


    night, were not only inefficient but disturbed her rest. If this happened again, her colleagues would be


    fired.


    In short, what Kendrick indicated was that if Natalie didn''t take a good rest and became healthy, he


    would vent his anger on everyone around Natalie and hold them ountable.


    Natalie silently thought, "Owen had better note back. As soon as hees back, he may be


    hunted down by Kendrick!"


    She sighed and turned her face to look at Kendrick with piteous eyes.


    "Do you have a problem?" Kendrick asked politely, seeming to respect Natalie.


    Natalie thought, "I don''t dare to have any problems! If I have, I will never see those colleagues."


    Kendrick knew Natalie very well and got her easily.


    Kendrick was very satisfied.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    He thought, "I''m really good at regaining my dominance in the family. Of course, the most important


    thing is that I''m entirely in the right."


    Kendrick said, "Besides, you are not allowed to stay upte recently!"


    "Okay." Natalie directly agreed and nodded.


    "I will supervise you to go to bed on time," Kendrick finally added.


    ...


    Kendrick''s words meant that sleeping in separate rooms must be a thing of the past.


    Kendrick thought, "It''s because we have slept in separate rooms that I don''t know anything. I have to


    take preventive measures."


    At 11 p.m., Kendrick washed up and came directly to the master bedroom after processing the


    documents.


    Natalie had alreadyid on the bed with her mobile phone, replying to the messages in the work chat


    group.


    Kendrick tapped her phone and pointed to the clock. He said, "I''ll give you another three minutes."


    Natalie thought, "Three minutes? Do you think I will listen to you? I just want it to be over in a minute!"


    Natalie turned on airne mode and put her phone on the bedside table. After lying down, she nced


    at Kendrick and suddenly said, "You just want to sleep with me."

 Chapter 182 Give in to His Wife

    Chapter 182 Give in to His Wife


    Chapter 182 Give in to His Wife


    Natalie said the words to ease the tension between the two of them.


    However, Kendrick wore a solemn look on his expressionless face without smiling.


    Natalie''s tense nerves suddenly reached the breaking point.


    She instantly shuddered and felt that something heavy was covering her. She sat up and took a deep


    breath.


    Kendrick also sat up quickly.


    His lumbar vertebra recovered well recently, and it was much easier for him to straighten up than


    before.


    Of course, Natalie didn''t notice that.


    She turned away and nced at him with difficulty, getting out of bed.


    Before she moved, Kendrick gripped her wrist.


    "Where are you going?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Looking at his handsome but cold face, Natalie lost control of her emotions. "You''ve gone too far."


    Kendrick didn''t seem to know that he had made a mistake.


    Natalie clenched her fists, and the yellow light shone on her head. At this moment, she felt aggrieved.


    "You knew what I cared about the most, but you used it to threaten me and forced me to listen to you."


    She had her weakness.


    But he couldn''t attack her with that.


    Natalie didn''t lose her temper out of good upbringing and politeness when they were with Ashlynn in


    the dining room downstairs, nor did she want an outsider to see the disputes and shes between


    them.


    "You treat me with the same method that you use on the others." Natalie gritted her teeth and said in a


    trembling voice, "Indeed, you y your cards well. You know everyone''s weakness, and the people


    around you are in awe of you, but I''m different from them. Our rtionship is not built on money or


    employment."


    "It was wrong to keep it from you." She ran her fingers through her hair, her eyes turning red, but she


    tried to control her emotions and spoke her mind. "You thought I didn''t care about you because you


    were not the first to know about it. Your anger was justifiable, but you couldn''t threaten me, Kendrick."


    She looked up at him with misty eyes. "You frightened me."


    In this world.


    They were not equal.


    He had a much higher social status than her with his wealth and power. Being the son of the Ramsey


    family might be only the tip of the iceberg.


    But she was only an unloved daughter, who married him to bring good luck to the family.


    She knew she offended him this time.


    Although he didn''t punish her for the time being, he threatened her directly and indirectly that the


    people she cared about wouldn''t be spared if anything happened to her.


    He was ruthless.


    And she felt a great pressure on her.


    Kendrick didn''t interrupt her and listened to her quietly.


    Up to now, they had hardly any contradictions and talked to each other frankly.


    He cared about her so much that he lost hisposure and took the hardball approach.


    He frowned slightly, feeling confused and uncertain.


    Love was indeed a myth to him.


    "I... didn''t." He denied it and gave in, holding her waist and pulling her into his arms. "I wanted you to


    have a good rest."


    "You did." Natalie didn''t give in and pushed him away,ining, "You told me that you would make


    things difficult for the people around me if I didn''t listen to you."


    Kendrick was lost for words.


    Well, that was his idea.


    But he didn''t implement it yet.


    He would have resorted to various methods and gotten his way if it had been someone else.


    But it was Natalie this time...


    He didn''t know what to do.


    "You can''t do this to me." Natalie shook her head. Her eyes were very red, and her voice was


    extremely hoarse.


    Following that, she grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him. "Go to sleep by yourself."


    ...


    Everyone trembled with fright at the morning meeting in the Ramsey Group.


    Kendrick tossed the nning report of the Strategy Department at the conference table with a thud,


    and it slid on the long table from one side to the other. The paper was sent flying and scattered on the


    ground.


    "Who wrote it?" Kendrick asked sternly in a cold voice, "Did you examine it before turning it in?"


    It was one of his principles that his emotions shouldn''t affect his work.


    But the nning report was awful.


    He was enraged by it.


    After the morning meeting, the atmosphere in the president''s office was frigid. When Nigel entered the


    room with a cup of ck coffee, he saw Kendrick sitting behind the desk with a solemn look and


    reading something on his mobile phone.


    Nigel put down the coffee carefully and turned to leave quietly.


    However, he was stopped by Kendrick.


    Nigel straightened up slowly and turned around, asking, "Mr. Ramsey, what can I do for you?"


    At first, Kendrick looked at him with anticipation, but he thought of something and gave Nigel a look as


    if saying, "You''re worthless." He waved his hand and asked Nigel to leave.


    Nigel swiftly left the office.


    Kendrick continued to search in the forum.


    The keywords he used were "bicker", "reconcile", and "my wife is angry".


    He read the answers with a frown for a long while, not satisfied with them.


    In the end, he logged in and posed a question.


    After that, Kendrick got back to work. There was going to be a rey meeting of the sales campaign at


    Ramsey Fashion in the afternoon. Natalie was absent, so he had to go there and preside at the


    meeting.


    When he was contemting, there was a constant buzz of texts on his mobile phone.


    Someone answered his question.


    [Wow. Was KC''s ount stolen? He hasn''t logged in for five years, and he asked such a question once


    he got online.]


    [KC, is it you? You haven''t been around for five years. Did you get married?]


    [KC, when will youe up with the investment course?]


    Kendrick used this ount when he studied overseas, and it was marked with E-sports AMP and


    investment. After he came back to take over the Ramsey Group, he stopped using the ount. When


    he raised the question, he forgot to use a different ount.


    Since he had posed the question, he couldn''t delete it now. Besides, the post quickly got popr, and


    many warm-hearted people helped him solve the problem.


    [Coax her. It was your fault to anger your wife, whether you were right or wrong.]


    It seemed thisizen was a devoted husband.


    [I didn''t expect KC to bicker with his wife one day. Although he is awesome in Esports and investment,


    he has to give in to his wife.]


    [Bro, I don''t have any advice for you except that you have to give her gifts, admit your mistake, and


    apologize.]


    [Don''t coax her. Leave her alone for a few days. She will know that a wife should be obedient to her


    husband.]


    Did this guy want him to die?


    Kendrick quickly cklisted the guy.


    Some people asked him to tell them exactly what had happened so that they could give him specific


    advice.


    Kendrick exited the forum and rubbed his forehead. In the end, he called Ashlynn and asked her to buy


    the ice cream, all seven vors.


    Ashlynn said hesitantly, "But you..."


    Kendrick said coldly that Natalie was not allowed to eat any ice cream yesterday.


    "Buy the ice cream first. Don''t tell her about it until she gets better."


    Ashlynn said inwardly, "Then why did you do that yesterday? Did you give the ice cream to the


    However, Ashlynn didn''t dare to speak her mind and went out to buy the ice cream.


    "By the way..." Kendrick asked again, "What did she do today? Did she have meals on time?"

 Chapter 183 Will You Sleep with Me Tonight

    Chapter 183 Will You Sleep with Me Tonight


    Chapter 183 Will You Sleep with Me Tonight


    "Yes, she had the meals on time." Ashlynn parroted what Natalie told her, "Mrs. Ramsey said she didn''t


    dare to skip any meals."


    Kendrick was speechless.


    Was Natalie still angry with him?


    He covered his face with his hands, wondering if he should rush home now.


    His mobile phone buzzed. He had a meeting in the afternoon. It was a rey meeting of the promotion


    campaign.


    The news that Kendrick lost his temper in the morning meeting spread quickly. As a result, the staff


    from the Cosmetics Department was frightened. Natalie was absent, and no one could confront the


    angry president.


    To their surprise, Kendrick seemed amiable at the meeting.


    He praised them for working hard and exceeding their performance target.


    Therefore, he doubled their team-building budget. As Natalie was not feeling well and was away on


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    sick leave these days, the department would postpone the dinner party until she got better.


    Kendrick was gentle and kind. Instead of picking on them and scolding them, he praised and


    encouraged them.


    As a result, the staff was willing to work for the Ramsey Group for the rest of their life.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Natalie watched a movie alone.


    There was a constant buzz of texts on her mobile phone.


    Her colleagues were concerned about her health.


    They said Kendrick had doubled the team-building budget, and they would have a dinner party when


    she got better.


    It could be seen that they were genuinely happy and hoped she could get well soon.


    After Natalie replied to all the messages, she left the movie theatre on the basement floor and went


    upstairs, running across Kendrick who had juste back.


    It was five o''clock in the afternoon.


    He came back early.


    Their eyes met, and he took the initiative and said, "Nat, hang up the clothes for me."


    "Okay."


    Natalie went up and took his coat, hanging it on the clothes rack.


    He had juste back from outside, and his face was pale because of the coldness. As a result, his


    eyes looked deeper. She couldn''t help reaching out to cup his face and warm him up.


    Kendrick held her hands. He could feel the warmth of her palms on his face.


    He handed her the chestnut pie hot from the oven and said, "It''s still hot."


    ...


    Kendrick bought Natalie a chestnut pie to coax her.


    He also bought a big bouquet of lilies of the valley and put it in her room.


    He even wrote the work n of the first quarter of next year for her.


    Finally, she offered, "I''ll dry your hair tonight."


    He leaned against her legs and listened to the hair dryer brushing his ears. The warm wind blew at his


    face, and her gentle fingers ran through his hair. At that moment, he thought it was cold to sleep alone.


    He stretched out his arms and wrapped her waist, burying his face in her arms and whispering, "I won''t


    force you from now on."


    He wouldn''t stress his dominance in the family.


    He would forget about it.


    Natalie wouldn''t sumb to tough approaches, but her heart softened when Kendrick gave in and


    showed hispliance.


    He used to impress her with his ruthlessness.


    He seemed proud and aloof.


    But now hey in her arms and showed her his feelings and emotions.


    Perhaps this was marriage.


    They showed their imperfect sides to each other and tried to ept and tolerate them.


    After all, one shouldn''t only see the good side of his lover when falling in love.


    Natalie asked, "When will the doctore?"


    In fact, she felt weak inside, wondering what problems the doctor would discover about her.


    Kendrick propped on his arms and sat up, ncing at her and noticing the worry and fear in her eyes.


    Everyone would feel frightened when facing something unknown such as a physical checkup, so they


    usually chose to escape.


    "Next Monday." Kendrick held her hands and said, "I''ll go with you."


    "What if..." She suddenly asked in a low voice, "There is a small problem..."


    Owen said she suffered from congenital arterial stenosis.


    She had just known about this.


    Therefore, she asked Owen to get the medicines for her, lest something unexpected woulde up.


    Kendrick was taken aback.


    The two of them had never discussed this before.


    She wanted to show him her best and lively side. She loved him carefully.


    "Then take treatments," Kendrick gave his advice.


    He was wealthy.


    He was able to get the best medical resources in the world for her.


    Looking at her clean face, he gave a faint smile and reached out to touch her face. "What problem can


    you have? You''re young and healthy. Don''t scare yourself."


    He smiled and continued, "Are you afraid I will abandon you if you are sick?"


    Natalie was startled.


    Kendrick stretched his arms and held the skinny girl in his arms, patting her back. "You never detested


    me. You made a painstaking effort to cure my legs and took good care of me. I was angry that you hid


    your problem from me, but I was angrier with myself for not being reliable in your eyes. Don''t stress


    yourself. Don''t be afraid to trouble me. You can even lose your temper with me as you like."


    Kendrick was a man of few words, and it was rare of him to speak so much.


    "I was angry with you yesterday."


    Kendrick said softly, "It was my fault. I didn''t consider your feelings."


    He thought she was a child neglected by her family, so she didn''t dare to lose her temper when she


    was angry.


    "I love the good side of you as well as the bad side. In this way, our rtionship canst long, can''t it?"


    His voice was gentle and deep.


    It was the answer he came up with after long deliberation.


    Natalie was always self-conscious in front of him. She only smiled at him and never told him about her


    vexation and depression.


    Natalie nodded in his arms.


    "If you feel upset, tell me right away."


    "Okay."


    Kendrick put her on hisp and kissed the tears on her lips, asking in a soft voice, "Will you sleep with


    me tonight?"


    Natalie lowered her head.


    After a while, she raised her face and kissed his lips. "Okay."


    Kendrick was relieved.


    "In fact..." Natalie ran her fingers through her hair, ready to tell him something about herself.


    Suddenly, Kendrick''s phone rang.


    He picked up and said with a frown, "It''ste. We are sleeping."


    The person at the other end of the line said something.


    Kendrick said impatiently, "Let''s talk about it tomorrow."


    Natalie heard the voice and guessed someone called Kendrick from Ramsey''s mansion.


    Kendrick hung up the phone.


    He didn''t want to go there.


    Natalie tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What''s the matter with Grandfather?"


    "Nothing. Leave him alone." Kendrick pulled her in his arms and said, "Go to sleep."


    He was not going anywhere tomorrow. He would just stay at home with her.


    After a while, Natalie''s phone rang. It was Seth calling.


    She hung up the phone and said, "Grandfather asked us to go back."


    Something big must have happened.


    Otherwise, Seth wouldn''t have called them at nine o''clock at night.


    The two of them packed up and went to Ramsey''s mansion under the cover of night. Before they got to


    the living room, Natalie heard Reuben''s voice in the distance. The voice was clear in the night wind of


    December. "Mr. Ramsey, I''m sorry for keeping it from you."

 Chapter 184 They Forced Her to Divorce Kendrick

    Chapter 184 They Forced Her to Divorce Kendrick


    Chapter 184 They Forced Her to Divorce Kendrick


    When Natalie and Kendrick entered the living room, they saw several people sitting at the round table.


    Seth was sitting in the seat of the host with a solemn face.


    Reuben stood humbly on Seth''s left-hand side.


    Melvin sat on the right of Seth. When he saw Natalie and Kendricking, he squinted slightly, a trace


    of maliceing across his eyes.


    Melvin sighed when he saw that everyone was present. "Reuben, repeat what you said just now. Tell


    us clearly what you kept from us."


    Reuben nced at Natalie who had juste. There was no affection in his eyes, only resentment


    caused by embarrassment.


    He let out a long sigh and stressed each word. "In fact, Natalie''s birthdate doesn''t match that of Mr.


    Ramsey." Reuben lowered his eyes awkwardly and said, "We tempered with her birthdate. Here is her


    real birthdate. There might have been a mistake in the calction back then."


    Natalie stood at the door and frowned.


    She didn''t know that they changed her birthdate.


    Since Reuben admitted it in front of so many people, it must be true.


    Judging from his tone, he especially changed her birthdate to please the Ramsey family so that she


    could marry Kendrick.


    Natalie instantly calmed down, her intelligent mind quickly specting why Reuben said these words.


    The host of her body married Kendrick because of her birthdate. Now that her father revealed that it


    was a lie, the marriage could be considered a fraud.


    If it was a fraud...


    Then...


    Natalie looked up at Seth, who sitting stiffly in the light, and then nced at Melvin, who sneered and


    was eager to cause trouble.


    Millions of ideas came across her mind.


    Melvin had ganged up with Reuben as expected.


    Reuben threw away all his caution and took the risk of deceiving the Ramsey family to expose this.


    There must be a reason.


    What did they want?


    They attempted to force her to divorce Kendrick.


    Melvin had a child, but the heir of the family had not been confirmed yet. Sabotaging Kendrick''s


    marriage was the most effective way to slow down the announcement.


    After all, Seth wished that Kendrick could have a child as soon as possible so that he could hand the


    Ramsey Group to thetter.


    At the thought of this, Natalie couldn''t help ncing at Melvin and Reuben and wondered who came up


    with the smart idea, which dealt a blow to both Kendrick and her. Melvin looked at her fiercely as if he


    wished to tear her into pieces.


    Natalie was worried in the car just now, but she somehow rxed at this moment.


    Melvin and Reuben teamed up to deal with Kendrick and her. However, Seth was best qualified to


    speak on this among the people present.


    As expected, when Natalie thought of this, Seth tapped the table and looked up at her. "Do you have


    anything to say about your father''s revtion?"


    Natalie was taken aback. Why did he ask her? Didn''t they decide that her birthdate matched that of


    Kendrick?


    She replied calmly, "I listened to my father and married Kendrick. As for the matching, it was done by


    the experts. Grandfather, you were part of it and decided on the marriage."


    Natalie thought, "Are they trying to pass the buck? No one can escape."


    "Old man, you are responsible too."


    Seth turned grave. He took the slip of paper from Reuben and realized he had been fooled.


    Kendrick frowned deeply and pressed his lips tightly.


    "It''s a fraud!" Melvin stood up and thumped the table, saying angrily, "Reuben, how dare you deceive


    us with your daughter?" He turned to Kendrick and said, "No wonder Kendrick didn''t get better after


    marrying her. Instead, he got unlucky. It turned out her birthdate is false and doesn''t match his."


    Melvin wascent and turned to Seth. "Dad, we can''t let it go easily. This woman has brought ill


    luck to our family. The Ramsey Group has been declining sincest year."


    After that, he sighed ruefully. "Although Kendrick is crippled, you can''t bully him like this. How could you


    gang up to deceive him? I''ll seek justice for him today."


    Natalie wished she could silence Melvin. She said resentfully, "Mind your own business. Don''t


    embarrass yourself with your stupidity. Do you have a say in this matter?"


    "Do you see that? She''s rude and doesn''t respect her elders," Melvin said loudly. Natalie found him


    annoying. He gave a sidelong nce at her and tried to add fuel to the me.


    "Enough!" Kendrick said with undisguised impatience.


    Did Seth ask them toete at night because of this?


    Kendrick''s knitted brows became smooth slowly, and he nced at everyone. In the end, he fixed his


    eyes on Seth and said, "Grandfather, I don''t believe in the birthdate matching."


    At this moment, he had figured out what was going on and knew what these people were up to. He said


    calmly, "Marriage should be based on love instead of matching birthdates. Otherwise, it''s meaningless."


    Seth looked up at Kendrick.


    The expression on his face kept changing. After he heard what Kendrick said, he frowned slightly as if


    saying, "I knew you would stand up for her. Shut up."


    Kendrick got his intention, but he continued anyway, "Moreover, I''ve been married to Natalie for over a


    year, and we get along well. It doesn''t matter why we got married back then. I only care about the


    result."


    As long as the result was good.


    He would just try to keep it.


    If there hadn''t been so many people present, he would have expressed his deep love for Natalie.


    Natalie was standing next to him nervously.


    He pulled her closer and said in a soft voice, "Sit down. Don''t stand there."


    Natalie''s hands were cold.


    The sudden revtion of the mismatched birthdates confused her. When she touched his warm hand,


    she didn''t seem to see anything when themp shone on her head.


    Kendrick''s words clearly showed that he didn''t care about that.


    Natalie sat down in confusion, straightening her back.


    She was ready to take whatever came to her.


    Seth wore an angry look as if saying, "I knew you had no principles at all." Reuben turned ashen, and


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Melvin stamped his feet in anger. "Kendrick, my nephew, why do you side with her? The Quinn family


    deceived you into the marriage. They lied to us. How can you stand it?"


    There was mockery in Kendrick''s intelligent eyes. "Then ask Reuben to return all the wedding gifts."


    "Will you divorce her after he returns the wedding gifts?" Melvin asked, "This girl ganged up with her


    father. Don''t spare her."


    "Why should I divorce her?" Kendrick said with feigned confusion, "Nat has cut all her ties with the


    Quinn family. I''ll give the wedding gifts to her."


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Kendrick wanted both his wife and the wedding gifts. Wasn''t he too cunning?


    A dead silence fell upon everyone.


    Even Seth was considering the feasibility of Kendrick''s n.


    It killed two birds with one stone. In this way, Kendrick married Natalie without any expenses.


    Melvin rubbed his chin. This was not what he wanted. He winked at Reuben, beckoning thetter to


    Reuben tightened his grip on the table as if he had made up his mind. He raised his face and said


    sorrowfully, "In fact, there''s something I didn''t tell you. Natalie suffers from congenital heart disease."

 Chapter 185 I Dare You to Hurt Her

    Chapter 185 I Dare You to Hurt Her


    Chapter 185 I Dare You to Hurt Her


    Undoubtedly, Reuben was good at drawing everyone''s attention.


    His words stunned everyone present.


    He mentioned a disease that sounded terrible and filled the people with fear. They felt Natalie would die


    anytime.


    The host of her body suffered from the disease, and Natalie learned it from Owen. Her mother didn''t


    protect her well during pregnancy, so she had aortic stenosis, but it was not serious and wouldn''t affect


    her daily life.


    Of course, it didn''t matter much for ordinary people.


    For such a wealthy family as the Ramsey family, the women who married into the family should have


    excellent and wless genes, lest the next generation would be affected.


    Seth was choosing his heir at the moment.


    Reuben suddenly brought this up.


    His purpose was self-exnatory.


    Natalie looked up at Reuben and Melvin calmly and sneered quietly. Sure enough, everyone got smart


    in the fight for the best benefits. They were well aware of what Seth cared about the most, and they


    knew where to start.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    At this moment, she calmed down.


    She suddenly felt greatly relieved.


    She had been hiding this from Kendrick for days. She was in a dilemma, wondering how she would


    exin her condition honestly to Kendrick.


    After all, it was not only a matter of her own health.


    And this was not something only concerning the two of them.


    She was married to the top wealthy family.


    So, she needed to consider the health of her children.


    Fortunately, she didn''t have to worry about that now because Reuben had told the Ramsey family


    everything.


    Natalie wanted to bow to Reuben at this moment and expressed her gratitude.


    She couldn''t feel his affection for her at all. Instead, he did everything to corner her and even wished to


    kill her.


    Natalie believed that Reuben would not hesitate to trample on her if she was abandoned by the


    Ramsey family today.


    Why did he do that?


    She just cut her ties with him.


    He failed in his investment because he was greedy and selfish. She didn''t even make any moves to


    deal with him.


    What a heartless man!


    Kendrick turned pale at Reuben''s revtion, and he looked colder in the light. He turned to look at


    Natalie with difficulty.


    Was this what she had been keeping from him?


    Was she afraid?


    He didn''t know why.


    Was she afraid that he would detest her after he found out he was deceived?


    After all, her physical checkup report showed she was in good health when they got engaged.


    Kendrick was struggling inside at this moment. He wished to p himself for threatening her a few days


    ago. He had frightened her, so she didn''t dare to tell him about it and turned to someone else secretly


    for the medicine.


    Natalie broke the silence and said slowly, "To put it urately, aortic stenosis is caused by external


    factors such as the medicines taken during pregnancy, viruses, pollution, and radiation. But the


    problem is minor and doesn''t affect one''s work, study, and daily activities."


    Natalie gave a brief introduction to the disease.


    She didn''t allow Reuben to fool everyone in front of her.


    She knew much better than him.


    When people heard this, there was silence again.


    Melvin sneered evilly like a poisonous snake. "Your disease is not serious, or you would have died.


    How about your children? Are you going to put our dignified descendants in such danger?"


    He suddenly raised his voice and said with grief, "You have an eight percent chance of passing the


    disease to your children. Kendrick is crippled, and his life is wretched. How can his children suffer from


    heart disease? What''s the meaning of life if they can''t run, jump, ride horses, go skiing, or go surfing?"


    His words hit home.


    He said these words with ulterior motives.


    But he had a point there.


    What kind of children did Natalie want to have?


    She couldn''t just give birth to them without making ns for their future and health.


    The silence encouraged Melvin, who continued earnestly, "I''ll cite an example for you so that you know


    what eight percent means."


    Natalie thumped the table with her hands and abruptly stood up, looking into Melvin''s eyes. Her cold


    eyes silenced him instantly.


    She gripped the edge of the table as if she would upturn it the next second.


    She had had enough of it.


    Among the men present, Reuben was worthless and good at nothing but stabbing her from behind. He


    failed in all his investments. He was a cursed man.


    Melvin was worse. He would be rejected even if he donated his organs because he was a hepatitis B


    virus carrier. He was notoriously indiscreet about his private life and might carry HIV.


    Seth was headstrong, autocratic, and self-centered. He didn''t ept criticism, and everyone had to


    coax him even though he was in his seventies. Kendrick inherited half of his characteristics.


    As for Kendrick, her husband, he didn''t know how to rub the essence oil even though he was taught


    many times, and she had to massage him patiently again and again. Last time, her hair got sucked into


    the hair dryer when he dried her hair, and he asked her if she noticed the burnt smell. Considering that


    he had stood up for her just now, she would spare him.


    The three old men gathered together now.


    Were they going to teach her a lesson?


    No matter what, she was a genius. Although she was not adored, she was well respected. Everyone


    greeted her respectfully.


    But now, she was an insignificant wife in a wealthy family. Why did she have to lie low and please


    everyone?


    Natalie picked up the cup on the table and tossed it to the ground, making a loud sound.


    "You don''t have to tell me this!" She raised her eyebrow and said icily, "Who are you to teach me what I


    should do?"


    Natalie sneered and continued, "Do you care about my children? Why don''t you do something good for


    your child? If he knows that his father is a nasty man when he grows up, he will be ashamed. He won''t


    dare to make friends, nor will he dare to express his love for the girls. He doesn''t know who his mother


    is. He will feel embarrassed because his father sucks. What''s the meaning of his life?"


    Natalie ridiculed Melvin fearlessly.


    She was not afraid to take the challenge.


    Her words hit home. Enraged, Melvin tossed a cup at Natalie violently. Kendrick quickly protected her,


    and the cup hit his back. His navy blue coat got wet, and the cup shattered on the ground.


    Kendrick felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, but he only frowned slightly.


    The tension in the air was intense.


    Melvin was fuming with anger.


    He was determined to teach Natalie a good lesson today.


    This scheming woman had brought him ill luck recently. The woman he fancied was sent to prison by


    Natalie, and Seth detested him. The board of directors was a group of fence sitters who took Kendrick''s


    side.


    Melvin wouldn''t tolerate it.


    He rolled up his sleeves and dashed at Natalie to hit her.


    Before he moved, a dark muzzle pressed against his waist.


    It was an M1911 11.43 mm pistol with the safety off.


    Kendrick raised his eyebrow and said in a steady but menacing voice, "I dare you to hurt her."

    Chapter 186 Let''s See Who Gets Killed First


    Melvin froze and was rooted to the ground. He stared at the pistol on his waist and took two steps


    back.


    Seth was surprised. He had never expected Kendrick to raise a gun on such an asion. This was


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    evidently a provocation and deration of war. Kendrick didn''t take anyone seriously. Was he going to


    rebel? Did he still want to have the Ramsey Group?


    Many thoughts came across his mind in an instant, but Seth was experienced, so he raised his eyes


    slightly and said with feignedposure, "Kendrick, put down your gun."


    Kendrick pointed the pistol at Melvin and ordered him expressionlessly, "Get back to your seat."


    Melvin recovered from the shock and nced at his father. Suddenly, he got bold and said, "I dare you


    to shoot me. Come on. Shoot me."


    He pointed his finger at Kendrick defiantly and said provocatively, "Shoot me and my father today, and


    you will have the Ramsey group. I dare you to do that."


    The tension in the air was intense.


    The bodyguards in the mansion filed in.


    They formed a crowd in the living room.


    Reuben had edged to the back and nned to hide under the table if there was a fight.


    Seth pped the table and said, "Put down your gun. Do you hear me?"


    Natalie suddenly uttered, "Grandfather!" She dashed up to Kendrick and stood between them to


    alleviate the menacing presence of Seth. She said calmly, "Please ask Melvin to go back to his seat."


    Why did Seth force Kendrick to put down the gun?


    It was Melvin who started it.


    Since Kendrick got injuredst time, his contradiction with Melvin had been intensifying. They didn''t


    have to pretend they cared about each other in front of everyone. The whole Ramsey Group knew


    about the discord between the two of them and started to take sides.


    Natalie believed that Kendrick would shoot Melvin.


    She couldn''t hide behind Kendrick and let things go out of control.


    It was not something she wished for.


    Natalie said slowly to Seth, "Melvin started it first. He framed Kendrick and seriously injured him.


    Kendrick has to put on guard against him."


    She paused and continued in a choked voice, "Kendrick''s movement is impaired, so he has to protect


    himself with the pistol. You know well that he is not reckless. Please ask Melvin to step back, and I''ll


    ask Kendrick to put down the pistol."


    Natalie stretched out her hand, beckoning Kendrick to give her the pistol.


    Seth stared at her and pressed his lips tightly. He admired her for keeping herposure and


    exining it for her husband. She had saved everyone from embarrassment.


    Seth agreed. "Melvin, go back to your seat."


    Melvin pursed his lips arrogantly.


    He didn''t believe that Kendrick dared to shoot him.


    He was Kendrick''s uncle.


    Kendrick couldn''t shoot his elders.


    He thought Kendrick was bluffing.


    Melvin wouldn''t step back.


    He would see who would win.


    "If you don''t want to die, go back to your seat," Natalie suddenly said. The pistol was in her hand, and


    she pointed it at Melvin, looking at him with fierce eyes. "I''ll count to three."


    When she took the pistol, Kendrick slipped the safety catch back, lest she would get hurt.


    To his surprise, Natalie took the pistol and pointed it at Melvin.


    Damn it.


    Reuben screamed inwardly for help and curled up under the table with fright.


    Kendrick was stunned.


    "One..." Natalie thumbed off the safety catch of the pistol and put her fingers on the trigger, aiming at


    Melvin.


    He was a big living target at short range.


    Shooting him was much easier than shooting the moving target at the shooting range.


    She could even let the bullet whistle past his ear and shoot the vase behind him.


    "What a crazy woman! If you dare to shoot me today, I''ll..."


    "Two..."


    Yes, she was a crazy woman today.


    She wished to kill him with potshots.


    Melvin suddenly flinched at her cold and fierce gaze. His legs went soft, and he plopped on the chair


    next to Seth, panting heavily.


    He had calcted inwardly. Kendrick was his nephew, and it was immoral to shoot at a rtive.


    But Natalie was not.


    She was a crazy woman with heart disease who would be driven out of the Ramsey family.


    She was fearless.


    Melvin thought she was dealt a heavy blow, judging from her expression.


    She might lose her head and shoot him.


    "Enough." Seth turned ashen. He failed to figure out what was going on. He took a deep breath and


    said in a deep voice, "Natalie, you''re a girl. Aren''t you afraid to hurt yourself? What if the gun goes off


    by ident?"


    He saw the determination and murderous intent in her eyes, so he stretched out his hand calmly. "Give


    me the pistol."


    Natalie put down the pistol and slipped the safety catch back, unloading the gun skillfully like a gun


    expert.


    She put the gun and bullets on the table. "Grandfather, I''m sorry for disturbing you. It''s an instinct to


    protect myself from the danger."


    Seth was an experienced old man, and he had witnessed indoor gunshots dozens of times, but this


    was the first time it had happened to his family. He turned livid and frowned deeply.


    Melvin shouted, "Dad, look, they are crazy. They dare to pull guns in front of you. They don''t respect


    you at all."


    Seth didn''t handle Kendrick''s injury fairlyst time. He only suspended Melvin from his position without


    taking away his shares.


    Ever since then, Kendrick integrated semiconductor amps with artificial intelligence, and he had made


    a big progress.


    Seth didn''t think he should dishearten Kendrick now.


    Therefore, he said sullenly, "Shut up. All of you can leave now. Kendrick, stay behind."


    It seemed he wanted to have a talk with Kendrick alone.


    Kendrick thought for a while and knew what Seth was going to say.


    He refused, "It''s toote today. Grandfather, please go to bed first. You can discuss it with Natalie and


    me in the daytime tomorrow."


    If he stayed, Natalie would get suspicious.


    Kendrick didn''t want to do that.


    Seth was speechless.


    He took some cardiac medicines at night, lest he would die of anger sooner orter.


    Kendrick was the ideal heir.


    Seth expected him to be ruthless and put the interest of the group before anything else.


    Why did Kendrick suddenly change?


    Seth rose slowly in anger. He waved and said resentfully, "Go ahead. Let''s see who gets killed first."


    ...


    Kendrick''s bodyguards swarmed into the living room to escort them away.


    The farce paused for the time being.


    It was only the first act.


    There would be the second and third acts.


    Natalie stood in the empty living room and looked at the ancient and grand decorations. It was like a


    dream.


    Her strength seemed to be drained out of her body, and she felt exhausted as if she had just acted in a


    blockbuster movie. Themp shone on her head, and she gritted her teeth, feeling a mixture of


    At the same time, she felt greatly relieved.


    It seemed something heavy had been removed from her shoulders.


    Kendrick reached out to hold her hand and said, "Let''s go back."


    "I want to take a walk."


    He didn''t object and asked the bodyguards to follow them.

 Chapter 187 Ill Spank You

    Chapter 187 I''ll Spank You


    Chapter 187 I''ll Spank You


    Ramsey''s mansion was located in the city heart, wherend was scarce and valuable.


    It was one o''clock in the morning.


    The streetmps cast yellow light on everything.


    Ginkgo leaves fell off the trees that lined the street and paved the ground, which made a rustling sound


    when being stepped on.


    It was windy at night. The cold wind shed across Natalie''s face.


    Her warm eyes soon turned cold under such a low temperature.


    Natalie strolled on the street nkly.


    One hundred yards away from her, several bodyguards in ck were following her, as well as a ck


    Maybach, which stalked her several hundred yards behind her.


    The ridiculous farce was not over yet. She was taking a break at the interval.


    Many things would be different after today.


    The war of the heir officially started.


    Fate took them along this path, and it wouldn''t be easy to mber to the top.


    One hour ago.


    Natalie thought she would upturn the table if Kendrick showed any sign of hesitance. She would tell


    them to go to Ms. Williamson if she didn''t deserve to be Kendrick''s wife.


    She didn''t want to be an aggrieved wife in a wealthy family. She could support herself even by ying


    violin on the street.


    Why did she have to please everyone in the family and consider the pros and cons of everything? She


    had been living in fear. She was summoned to Ramsey''s mansionte at night many times. They didn''t


    even let her sleep.


    However, Kendrick chose to stand up for her


    He even used a gun to threaten them.


    It was the most direct defiance to Seth. Natalie didn''t expect Kendrick to do that.


    At that moment, all her confusion and anxiety seemed to go away.


    Owen used to ask her tactfully if it was worth doing all this. At that time, she said she wouldn''t regret


    her choice, but she was not confident.


    No matter what came out in the end, she was chosen firmly by Kendrick in that instant.


    Therefore, she was willing to apany him along the thorny and bumpy path and watch the sunset


    with him on the summit.


    Natalie stopped walking and turned around, heading toward the Maybach.


    ...


    A piece of porcin scraped Kendrick''s hand and left a bloodstain.


    It was cold, and the wound scabbed.


    He didn''t notice that. When he brought Natalie oatmeal and milk, she saw the bloodstain.


    Natalie quickly put down the ss and went to fetch the first-aid kit, treating his wound and putting a


    bandage with strawberry patterns on it.


    "Don''t touch water for a few days." She instructed, "If you can''t wash your face, call me."


    "Okay."


    After experiencing the emotional scenes together, the two of them were quiet and reserved.


    Kendrick said first, "I asked the doctor toe two days earlier. I''ll apany you to the physical


    checkup the day after tomorrow."


    Natalie nodded.


    "I asked the doctor just now, and he said it wouldn''t affect daily life." Kendrick tried to soothe her in a


    calm voice, "Don''t take Melvin''s words to heart. Have a good recuperation."


    "I''ll tell Grandfather about it." Kendrick added, "I didn''t marry you to have children."


    After Natalie learned about her disease, she thought of having children carefully.


    She was confused and ambivalent.


    The disease was much more serious than a wound on the hand or a cold. She couldn''t throw herself


    into his arms and say with pouty mouth, "I have a wound. I caught a cold. I can only get well if you kiss


    me."


    Kendrick''s words broke Natalie, who didn''t know what to say.


    Love was a matter concerning only two people.


    But marriage was not.


    There were too many things to consider.


    Kendrick hadn''t had such a deep experience of marriage before today. When Natalie was questioned in


    the light, he suddenly realized why she tried to keep it from him and hesitated.


    "I..." Natalie took a deep breath and said, "I was impulsive today."


    Melvin was Seth''s son, no matter what.


    Seth might be angry when she scolded Melvin.


    "You haven''t lost your temper for a long time." Kendrick gave a faint smile. "It was a golden chance."


    Natalie gave a wry smile.


    "Don''t you feel cold?" She held his hand and said, "Go to bed. I''ll warm your hands."


    "What happened today is only a start. It''s not the end of it." Kendrick frowned and turned solemn. "We


    will encounter difficulties on the path and face many choices."


    He had a feeling that things would get difficult.


    "You chose to defend me today. I''m touched." Natalie said understandingly, "I''ll respect whatever


    choices you make in the future. And I will face many choices too." She smiled and continued, "Let''s


    follow our hearts."


    She was optimistic and cheerful. She didn''t want to be a wretched wife of a wealthy family.


    She wouldn''t allow the conservative and stubborn parents or grandparents to separate her from the


    one she loved. Such a thing would never happen.


    They had reached the fork in their life and faced different paths. Everyone had his own choice. They


    had to make the most beneficial choice sensibly after deliberation.

    Natalie apologized sincerely, "I''m really sorry for keeping my disease from you. I punished myself for it."


    She took a piece of paper from the nightstand and said to Kendrick, "Look, I''ve learned the rules by


    heart. I even wrote it down."


    Her handwriting was graceful on the paper.


    She made a long list of dos and don''ts ording to the instruction of the doctor.


    She asked him to learn the rules by heartst time, and she did the same this time.


    Each of them did it once.


    It was fair and square.


    Kendrick had never expected Natalie to learn them by heart and write them down.


    In fact, he was not angry with her anymore.


    She was lovely andpliant. She was not unreasonable at all. How could he lose his temper with


    her?


    "You can test me." Natalie said, "If I make a mistake, you can hit my palm."


    She gave him the paper eagerly.


    Kendrick took the paper and did what she asked, testing her on a few questions.


    She made two mistakes.


    Although Kendrick was strict, he was ready to spare her because he doted on her.


    However, Natalie stretched out her handpliantly.


    Kendrick had to hold her hand, but he soon let go of it. "I won''t hit your palm."


    He loved her and couldn''t bring himself to hit her even though she made a mistake.


    He wouldn''t hit her palm?


    Natalie asked in surprise, "If you won''t hit my palm, which part do you want to hit?"


    Was he going to spank her again?


    Kendrick raised his brow without saying a word.


    Natalie touched her head and lowered her face, saying sullenly, "Are you going to spank me again?"


    What a surprise!


    Kendrick thought it was a good idea.


    He gave a faint smile and said, "Yes. Lie down on your stomach."

    Chapter 188 He Only Wants to Kiss Her


    Natalie struggled inwardly, trying to talk herself into doing it.


    Let him spank her.


    As long as he was happy.


    She knelt on the bed and turned around. Kendrick held her waist and kept her totally under his control.


    Kendrick pulled her into his arms and put his palm on her caudal vertebrae, moving it down slowly and


    asking, "How many mistakes did you make?"


    "Two." Natalie was certain of it.


    She would receive two spanks from him.


    "Really?" Kendrick raised his brow and said, "But I remember you made three mistakes."


    "I made two mistakes. I didn''t lie to you." Natalie quickly told him about the two mistakes and tried to tell


    him she did learn the rules by heart without loafing.


    However, Kendrick insisted that he was right. He mischievously bit her delicate earlobe and muttered in


    a hoarse voice, "Think about it carefully."


    He was behind her, and Natalie couldn''t see his face, but she could sense his warm breath on her face.


    She got dizzy and felt numb all over.


    At this moment, she started to suspect if she was wrong.


    How many mistakes did she make?


    Two or three?


    She got uncertain after being questioned by him.


    Kendrick didn''t seem eager to get her answer and moved his lips gently from her ears to her neck. He


    rubbed against her neck and bit it softly. She lost her bnce and almost fell forward.


    Thankfully, his hands were holding her waist, or she would fall to the bed.


    "Three... three."


    Natalie gave in shamefully.


    "How dared you lie to me in the beginning?" Kendrick didn''t release her.


    There was a faint smile on his handsome face and undisguised tenderness in his eyes. She was a


    lovely girl with an interesting soul, who brought much fun to his dull life.

    However, a liar was not a good girl, and he had to teach her a lesson.


    "I didn''t," Natalie denied. She remembered she had made two mistakes, but she wasn''t allowed to


    argue with him.


    "Don''t you admit it?" Kendrick put his slender fingers on her caudal vertebrae, and Natalie almost


    jumped up. When she sat up, her bottom was spanked by him.


    "This is the first spank." He said, "Lie down."


    Natalie thought she just needed to lie there and let Kendrick give her a few spanks like punishing a


    child. It would be over in less than thirty seconds.


    She hadn''t expected this. Evidently, Kendrick was not willing to spare her.


    Natalie turned away and looked at him with sorrow in her eyes. "Just spank me this way."


    She felt awkward when shey down.


    Natalie felt shy and blushed, her eyes getting misty. Her tone was reproachful, but she didn''t dare to


    speak loudly since she made the request.


    Looking at her, Kendrick felt more desire to bully her.


    He gave a faint smile and told her gently that she had to be punished for her mistake. Otherwise, she


    wouldn''t remember the lesson. He asked, "Don''t you extend your hand when your teacher punishes


    you for your mistake? Will you ask him to hit your hand like that?"


    As Kendrick spoke, he wore the same expression as that when they were at the hospital.


    Natalie was speechless.


    She owed him that, and now she had to pay him back.


    Her lips quivered for a good while, but she failed to refute it, so she had to lie down on her stomach


    with his hands on her waist.


    "Did I hit the left part just now?" Kendrick''s eyes darkened.


    Why?


    How did he have so many tricks?


    Did he have to spank on a different part?


    "Don''t you remember it?" Kendrick raised his eyebrow slightly and covered her bottom with his palm.


    "Yes. Yes," Natalie quickly replied.


    "Then I''ll hit the right part."


    "Hurry up." Natalie urged, her face was red with heat, and her ears were burning.


    Now that she was in his hands, Kendrick wouldn''t spare her easily.


    But...


    He couldn''t bring himself to hit her.


    "Get up," Kendrick suddenly said.


    Natalie was puzzled. "Don''t you hit me now?"


    Was he angry?


    "I won''t hit you anymore." He said gently, "Don''t cry."


    He raised his hand and wiped her tears, asking, "Does it hurt?"


    It was not hurting.


    But Natalie felt shy.


    The rapid secretion of dopamine and adrenaline stimted thecrimal nd.


    Natalie shook her head honestly. "No."


    "There are two more spanks."


    She was good and obedient, not daring to escape the punishment, so she reminded him sincerely.


    "Nat,e over." Kendrick beckoned her.


    Natalie was docile. She didn''t sumb to harshness. When she was treated harshly, she would get


    angry and defy to the end. When she was treated gently, she was lovely andpliant.


    She thought he was giving her an instruction, so she moved closer and sat next to him.


    "I''ll do it another day," Kendrick said generously.


    He had plenty of chances to do that.


    Moreover, he only wanted to kiss her now.


    Kendrick pulled her closer to him and gripped her chin. He lowered his eyes and kissed her rosy lips.


    She kissed him back swiftly and passionately. It was a long and affectionate kiss. He invaded every


    inch of her mouth forcefully and gently. She trembled like a rose in the wind.


    All her anxiety was eased by his kiss.


    They sped their hands tightly. Once they got together, they didn''t want to part.


    They could smell each other''s scent when breathing.


    They didn''t have a wonderful time these days. They encountered many disturbing problems, and their


    nerves were tense.


    After Kendrick took off her mask in the operating room, Natalie was afraid of him as well as the outside


    world like a newborn hedgehog whose shell was stripped off. He was smart and aggressive. If he


    wanted to know about something, he wouldn''t give up until he got what he wanted.


    Natalie admired his strength, but she was afraid of him when he was stronger than she imagine and got


    out of her control.


    When her mind went nk, he had a strong desire for her body. His sense of insecurity and


    possessiveness made her uneasy, and his ruthless methods frightened her. It turned out he would use


    such methods on her.


    At this moment, Kendrick was no longer a cold description in the book. Instead, he was lively and


    But that day he said to love a person, one had to ept the different sides of the person.


    After seeing the good and bad sides, one could confirm if he loved the person or not.


    It suddenly dawned on Natalie.


    The admiration for the star was not love if she backed down when seeing its dented surface.


    It was only a superficial feeling.

    Chapter 189 That Is a Kiss Bite


    Natalie looked at him with gentle eyes and spoke in a timid voice, "I''m thinking, you have the ability to


    make me love you so much."


    At first, she just liked him. How could such a cold, proud, and handsome man not be liked?


    However, he defended her everywhere, making her even more determined. She was like a child who


    had never eaten sugar, so a little sweetness could make her happy for a long time.


    Kendrick, who received the confession, now had a hint of a smile in his eyes but pretended to be


    reserved, saying, "I am extremely lucky to be loved by you." After all, Ms. Quinn was a person with high


    expectations.


    The wind sobbed loudly outside the window.


    The room was warm with the heating on.


    Natalie leaned in his arms, touched her neck, and thought to herself, "Fortunately, it''s winter.


    Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to see people."


    She closed her eyes to go to sleep when suddenly he asked, "Do you want to learn how to use a gun?"


    Natalie''s eyes immediately opened.


    She could use a gun. She was once a shooting champion!


    Her grade at the training ground was ten.


    "Okay!" She replied confidently.


    "I will have Brock teach you," Kendrick said, "He shoots with good uracy."


    Natalie thought, "Brock may not be as good as me."


    "Can''t you teach me yourself?" She said, squeezing into his arms," I want Mr. Ramsey to teach me."


    Kendrick could only sit and shoot due to leg problems, but he shot with good uracy.


    Her words sounded sweet and suggestive to Kendrick. He hugged her and thought, "How can I refuse


    such a seductive girl?"


    "Okay, but I..."


    "I''m very smart," Natalie interrupted, blinking at him and saying," With a little guidance, I can learn to


    use it."


    She said, "Next time you encounter danger, I will stand in front of you."


    "No!" Kendrick refused in a rarely cold tone.


    "You protected me today," Natalie said softly." "Can''t you let me protect you?"


    Holding a gun was a great taboo. Now it was just the peace before the storm.


    "Nat!" Kendrick said word for word, "I told you that if you get hurt because of me..."


    He once said coldly that he would not have any gratitude for her.


    Because he couldn''t repay such deep love.


    After several days, he faced the problem again. He couldn''t say that heartless remark again.


    "Don''t do that," Kendrick said solemnly as he stroked her cheek, "Protect yourself." He added, "Love


    yourself before you love someone."


    If one loved someone, don''t die for them, but live for them!


    "Do you hear me?" Kendrick frowned.


    "Okay!" Natalie nodded. "I will surely protect myself."


    If others told Natalie to protect herself, it might not work. But upon hearing Kendrick''s simple words,


    she even wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, eat regrly, go to bed and wake up early every


    day, exercise regrly, and make herself healthy and energetic, so that she could be with him forever.


    "Can you apany me to the examination the day after tomorrow?" She hooked her little finger


    around his finger and leaned against his arms "I''ll be a bit afraid if I go alone. With you by my side, it


    would be much better."


    She was showing weakness! She had softened up!


    Kendrick said softly, "Don''t be afraid, I''ll be with you."


    She suddenly felt that the wind outside the window was not so loud.


    At the Ramsey''s mansion.


    Seth sat alone in the study, with the clock pointing towards 3 a.m.


    The messy living room had been tidied up. Edgar knocked on the door and asked, "Sir, why are you


    still awake?"


    "How could I fall asleep?" Seth knocked on the table and said, "Why do they have to trouble me every


    day?" He picked up the M1911 and pounded it heavily on the table. "Kendrick dares to point a gun at


    his uncle today. Would he point a gun at me tomorrow?"


    Edgar walked up tofort him. "Mr. Ramsey is a rational person. As you''ve seen, it''s an empty gun.


    He didn''t want to shoot Melvin. He just wanted to scare him."


    He smiled and continued, "The way Mr. Ramsey protected his wife today was a bit like how the way


    you used to be. Have you forgotten? When you were in Norford, you also protected your wife with a


    gun. She was Ms. Lynch at that time."


    Seth recalled his time in Norford forty years ago.


    "But he''s not as good as you. You fired the gun indeed, and after that, Ms. Lynch waspletely


    devoted to you."


    Seth was overjoyed, and scenes of the years before him rose before his eyes. Soon, he stopped


    smiling and said, "What are you talking about? That''s his uncle. Does he really dare to shoot him?"


    Edgar agreed, "Yes, Mr. Ramsey is rational."


    He remembered Kendrick''s solemn expression today and spected that at that moment, Kendrick


    was definitely thinking of Melvin.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    He thought, "One day in the future, Melvin may really die at the hand of Kendrick."


    "How can he possibly be rational? "Seth was still furious. "Do you remember how he was today? He


    was so disobedient to me for the woman. What''s wrong with him?"


    Edgar said calmly, "Mr. Ramsey is newly married and tends to be emotional. It''smon. I think Mrs.


    Ramsey is a sensible person, so you don''t have to worry too much."


    Seth remained silent for a moment and said, "Natalie is not simple. She''s arrogant. Her sensible


    behavior is only temporary, and Kendrick has indulged her. I reminded him multiple times, but he still


    remains unmoved. If I give Ramsey to him, he will immediately give him to Natalie."


    "I chose Natalie because she has a peaceful personality. I don''t know why she has changed so much


    over the past year and how she has kept Kendrick under control."


    In short, Natalie used to be easy to control, but now she was not. Edgar was also aware of that, but he


    dared not say more.


    "If she were my granddaughter, I would have cultivated her well, but she''s not..." Seth nced at


    Edgar, his butler and old friend who had apanied him for many years. "We can''t continue like this


    and let Ramsey fall into her hand."


    ...


    Apanied by Kendrick, Natalie was much more peaceful when she went for the examination.


    When she examined others as a doctor, she was peaceful.


    But when it was her turn to be checked, she couldn''t bepletely calm.


    Before the cardiac examination, Professor Nn Knox, who had been intimidated and lured by


    Kendrick, came all the way here and gave Natalie a full body examination.


    When the report came out, Nn had a serious expression on his face.


    Kendrick frowned deeply. Natalie took a deep breath to calm down.


    She guessed, "Do I have any other problems? It can'' t be. I''m watchful of my health."


    "Subcutaneous tissue bleeding was found in the neck and behind the ears." Nn said solemnly, "It''s


    moderate. I suggest a blood test."


    Natalie was speechless.


    That was...a kiss mark. She turned her face to look at Kendrick with piercing eyes.

 Chapter 190 My Heart Beats for You

    Chapter 190 My Heart Beats for You


    Chapter 190 My Heart Beats for You


    Not everyone in this world knew what a kiss bite was like. Kendrick rubbed his chin and thought for a


    long time.


    He wanted to tell Nn that this was a small ident caused by uncontroble emotions between


    lovers.


    But he was afraid Nn couldn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°This is a love bit!" Kendrick said expressionless and sinctly.


    Both Natalie and Nn were speechless.


    Since it was a love bit, then it was nothing to worry about!


    Natalie was staying at the hospital tonight, waiting for tomorrow''s examination.


    Kendrick made time for her in the afternoon.


    The two of them turned off their phones andy on the sofa watching a rxing movie. Afterward,


    Kendrick received a call which should be a business call.


    Natalie said grandly, "You go to work. We''ll have a video call tonight.¡±


    Kendrick smiled lightly and touched her head, saying, "Okay." He then warned, "Let me know as soon


    as the reportes out.¡±


    ¡°Okay!" Natalie nodded andforted, "There won''t be a big problem.¡± She put her hand on her chest


    and said, ¡°Do you know why?¡±


    Kendrick was puzzled.


    ¡°Because of you!" Natalie pointed to her heart and said, "It always beats for you.¡±


    Kendrick smiled, revealing his perfect teeth.


    His smile was often faint and hardly as sunny as that on his face right now.


    Kendrick thought, ¡°She¡¯s really good at saying love words.¡±


    If it weren''t for theck of time, he would definitely give her a long kiss.


    ...


    After Kendrick left, Natalie continued to watch the movie.


    However, watching it alone was boring for her. She fast-forwarded the movie to the end and turned off


    the TV.


    Her phone suddenly rang. It was Owen.


    ¡°Natalie, I have two pieces of news to tell you. One is good and the other is bad.¡±


    Natalie was speechless.


    She took a breath and said, "Owen, I''m going to have a heart examination at the hospital. Please watch


    your words.¡±


    ¡°Sorry!" Owens asked with concern, ¡°Is it serious?¡±


    ¡°It''s just a routine check," Natalie said, "Tell me the good news first.¡±


    ¡°Susan is out of danger and recovering well.¡±


    Susan still didn''t know that Natalie was her surgeon, so Owen called to remind Natalie about this.


    ¡°That''s good. Just wait for the right time."


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Natalie then asked, ¡°What is the bad news?¡±


    ¡°GM-1 has beenpletely banned," Owen said in a frustrated tone, "Last Monday, Cruxham revised


    and passed thew.¡±


    GM-1 had always been in dispute. It could promote embryonic development, which involved ethical


    issues as it might be used by unscrupulous people in gene cloning experiments.


    Natalie thought, "Since it is banned, I cannot bring it back to my country. Moreover, I cannot let Owen


    take this huge risk.¡±


    Owen said, "I will fly back to Cruxham tomorrow tomunicate with the biomedicinepany and


    see if there are any alternatives.¡±


    ¡°Okay," Natalie pursed her lips. ¡°This will take a long time. We¡¯ll face risks at any time. We should be


    more prepared.¡±


    Natalie quickly thought about what other drugs could rece GM-1.


    But almost none.


    The efficacy of GM-1 in Neurocyte repair was evident.


    If it couldn¡¯t be produced in Cruxham, what about in her hometown?


    However, the domesticws were stricter, and almost no one mastered the production process and the


    technology.


    Natalie knew the production steps of GM-1, which involvedplex biomedicine mechanisms.


    Natalie thought, ¡°But how do I avoid legal risks? I can''t let myself get caught.¡±


    Natalie frowned.


    GM-1 was also banned in her world. Later, the researchers found that its isomer, GM-2, had the same


    molecr form but different structures. Although GM-2 and GM1 had different effects, they were


    both good at neural repair. GM-2 didn¡¯t promote embryonic development. Instead, GM-2 might cause


    gene mutations.


    Owen called out, "Natalie.¡±


    He called Natalie several times before Natalie responded, "Which is the top biomedicinepany in


    Hamgrad?¡±


    Owen said, "Ramsey Biomedicine.¡±


    It was right around her. Natalie almost forgot it.


    ¡°Yes," Natalie agreed. "This matter can be resolved, but it will take some time.¡±


    She stood up excitedly on the bed and said, "Owen, you know the ingredients for GM-1, right?¡±


    Owen candidly said, "I know, but none of the domestic pharmaceuticalpanies have mastered the


    technology. They can¡¯t even replicate it.¡±


    Natalie said, "If you tell me, I''ll treat you respectedly.¡±


    Owen hesitated, "You want to develop it yourself, don¡¯t you?¡±


    Natalie remained silent.


    ¡°Are you not afraid that you will break thew?¡±


    ¡°I once carefully studied thews of Hamgrad. It is only prohibited to use GM-1, and it is not prohibited


    to study GM-1.¡±


    She found legal loopholes.


    Natalie suddenly thought of something.


    Research on GM-1 was not prohibited, but its use was prohibited, which indicated that Hamgrad also


    wanted to have this production technology but was unable to produce it due to various factors.


    Natalie didn''t want to talk anymore. After hanging up the phone, she carefully thought about what she


    should start with.


    The best way was to use the help of Ramsey Biomedicine. It had the most advancedboratory and


    However, 51% of the shares of Ramsey Biomedicine were held by Seth and 49% of that were held by


    Susan.


    She thought, ¡°If I transfer to Ramsey Biology and deal with Seth, that grumpy old man will definitely


    make trouble with me.¡±


    Natalie pursed her lips and thought about her cards.


    ¡°How about teaming up with Susan?¡± she thought.


    The next day, Natalie had her heart checked.


    The result was still the original problem. Because of it, Natalie couldn¡¯t engage in high-intensity and


    high-pressure work. Simply put, being azy good-for-nothing was the best way.


    She immediately sent the report to Kendrick.


    However, Kendrick did not reply. Probably he was busy.


    Natalie suddenly remembered something. She wouldn¡¯t let go of what happened at the Ramsey''s


    mansion!


    This was just the peace before the storm.


    Natalie packed up and was about to be discharged when she heard the nurses whispering around the


    corner.


    ¡°Is that her?¡±


    ¡°It seems so.¡±


    ¡°Is the rumor online true?¡±


    ¡°She doesn''t look like those who bully ssmates. But some people look weak on the surface but are


    more ruthless than others.¡±


    ¡°I heard she was an illegitimate daughter. How did she marry into the Ramsey''s family?¡±


    ¡°Because..." The nurse lowered her voice. ¡°Mr. Ramsey has leg problems. Otherwise, she wouldn''t


    have the luck.¡±


    The two nurses talked gossip about Natalie excitedly. When they looked up, Natalie was standing right


    in front of them and calmly asked, "Are you talking about me?¡±

 Chapter 191 The Birth Agreement

    Chapter 191 The Birth Agreement


    Chapter 191 The Birth Agreement


    They were frightened, never expecting that who they were talking about would be here.


    But Natalie didn''t show any feelings and just asked, "You guys know it from the inte?"


    Seeing that they gave no reply, she raised her eyebrows, "Aren''t you going to answer me?"


    One of them hesitated for a long time and lowered his head because of Natalie''s look. He finally


    plucked up the courage to say, "Well, there is a post talking about you on the inte, but I don''t think it


    is true."


    "No. But the post has been deleted."


    Natalie didn''t have much time browsing the inte and reading hot news.


    She didn''t know at all that the post went viral on the inte in the early morning and it was all about


    her, Mrs. Ramsey.


    Someone sent a post in the gossip group to expose her "family background", saying that she was a


    dishonorable illegitimate daughter and her mother was a bar girl and a mistress. The post also


    mentioned that she married into the Ramsey family in a deceptive way (to bring good luck to Mr.


    Ramsey actually). It even inferred that she loved someone else and was unfaithful to the marriage,


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    adding that she dropped out of college and bullied her roommate who thus suffered from depression.


    The post was written from the perspective of that roommate, attaching a diagnosis of depression.


    Certainly, all of that just set the scene.


    Finally, the post mentioned that Seth originally nned to give Mr. Ramsey the whole group. However,


    because Mrs. Ramsey had a congenital heart disease, he thought about the health of the family''s


    future heir and had been hesitant.


    The post was quickly deleted, but it still caused a lot of discussions.


    The Ramsey family was the first financial magnate in Hamgrad. However, because of strict family rules,


    its descendants seldom showed up in the entertainment news.


    As for Melvin, he was on legal news for his crime.


    Theizens just read the news for spilling the tea.


    Apart from that, it was written to take the bull by the horns, directly targeting at the establishment of an


    heir. Therefore, it was for the group''s senior director and Seth to read.


    But the post was just nothing, no matter how bad she was, whether she was an illegitimate daughter or


    a misbehaving woman, even though the fact that she bullied others was true. As long as she gave birth


    to a healthy child, nothing mattered.


    And that was the living reality.


    Nobody cared about what the mother was like, as long as she could deliver a baby.


    And then she would be rewarded with a million-dor mansion.


    Many wealthy daughters-inw lived that kind of life.


    Sure enough, because of the post''s influence, Ramsey Group''s stock price plummeted on the opening


    trading in the morning and its market value dropped by several hundred million in an instant. The PR in


    the group was forced to show up, rifying that Seth, the chairman, was in good health and had not yet


    thought about choosing an heir. They also added that the participants wouldpete fairly and Seth


    would choose the best.


    Natalie rested her hands on the wall.


    She knew that what happened this time was not to be sniffed.


    The post targeted her on the face of it, but in fact, it was against Kendrick, the sessor of the group.


    She gritted her teeth so hard that it made her sore.


    Suddenly, she was confused. Why did shee here? What for? What was she going to do exactly?


    There were so many thingsing to her at once. Thetter was harder than the former. Although she


    could solve all the academic problems and even perform surgery on Kendrick and Susan, which was


    rather difficult, she...


    Should she deliver a baby right now?


    But how could it be? And there was only one purpose for giving birth to a child and that was to be a tool


    forpeting for heirs.


    Obviously, it was not what she wanted.


    ...


    There was an emergency regr meeting in the morning.


    Seth pulled the long face throughout.


    As the meeting was over, he came to Kendrick''s office.


    Seth was sitting on the sofa with his cane banging on the ground.


    Kendrick just read the document with no expression on his face, having no intention of getting round


    his grandpa.


    Seth was rather angry. He smoldered and then he shouted at Kendrick, "You just spoil her, don''t you!"


    He was furious. Kendrick just criticized everyone on the board and even showed him no respect. He


    said in anger, "If she stamps on your head one day and doesn''t take you seriously, you just stew in


    your own juice then."


    And then he relented and tried to y the sympathy card, "Well, you can favor a woman, but do not


    pamper her. If you spoil her a lot, she might not know who she is. Well, you are rather innocent in


    personal rtionships and restrained by her. What if she runs away one day? What should you do


    then?"


    Kendrick raised his eyes.


    Seth continued to y the same trick, "Just listen to me. Ask her to sign this. Well, to tie her down first,


    at least."


    A stack of documents was handed to Kendrick.


    He opened it and a birth agreement loomed into his view.


    At first, he thought that giving birth to a son would be rewarded with a 100 billion mansion.


    It was rathermon in a wealthy family.


    But he underestimated Seth who was rather calcting.


    Obviously, the agreement just boxed Natalie''s life. To deliver a healthy baby boy within two years? If


    not, the Ramsey family could reproduce with a better gene, to put it shortly, find someone else as the


    mother.


    In that circumstance, Natalie only needed to parent the child and be a good nanny. It didn''t matter


    whether the child was her own or not.


    At the very moment, the selfishness of human nature was fully demonstrated.


    Kendrick frowned rather deeply.


    If Natalie saw the agreement, it would inevitably cause an uncontroble family conflict. He knew what


    she was like.


    She got pride and self-esteem.


    It was impossible for her to sign that agreement.


    Kendrick pushed the agreement back and restrained his tone, "That''s unreasonable!"


    And it was just ridiculous.


    Seth was filled with an ungovernable rage, "How? Well, it is a kind of risk prevention and avoidance.


    You have also heard that there is an 8% gic factor. What? Do you want your son to be like you?


    Never run or jump at all?" He moved on after a pause, "Based on her character, I don''t think that she is


    willing to have children obediently. She has a lot of ideas. Well, I admit that she is rather capable, but


    that is not the point."


    The Ramsey family was not ordinary.


    It was the first financial magnate in Hamgrad and thus was fabulously wealthy. Money was just nothing


    to them.


    The most important thing now was the establishment of an heir.


    Kendrick spoke calmly but forcefully, "I will never let her sign it."


    "I don''t think you have the gut!" Seth pointed at Kendrick and shouted angrily, "Look at you, you just let


    her lead you by the nose, don''t you? Well, as she marries you, I don''t think that she will ask for more


    from you and do nothing for you. If she really loves you, I''m sure that she will sign the agreement


    quickly."


    Generally, a man would shake his thoughts after hearing such words.


    If she loved me, she would do anything for me, wouldn''t she! Signing an agreement like that would just


    show that she loved me and was willing to sacrifice for me!


    Kendrick frowned and looked quite impatient. Well, whatever. He didn''t think he would listen to his


    grandpa.


    "If you don''t let her sign it, then you can sign a divorce agreement with her!" Seth was so furious that


    he said without a second thought, "The shares are still hers and there won''t be any injustice or


    mistreatment towards her."


    What a calcting man. To give birth to a baby obediently, or ask someone else to do it? If she refused


    to do any of them, she would take the shares and be asked to leave the family. Seth felt that he would


    never put the heir at risk.


    Seeing that Kendrick didn''t yield an inch, Seth yed his best card, "Just make a choice. If you ask her


    to sign it, I will give you all my shares. Finance, electronics, real estate, biomedicine and chemical


    industry are all in your charge! When your child is born, I will hand over the group to you officially."


    Well, it was indeed a huge temptation.


    After all these years of hard work and nning, Kendrick just wanted nothing but take charge of the


    group.


    Now Seth had relented. And he would be true to his word, as long as Natalie signed the birth


    agreement, agreed to start taking injections or medications to prepare for pregnancy, became


    pregnant, no matter what way was used even though it was the test tube, and finally gave birth to a


    baby boy who must be healthy without any disease.


    It would sacrifice all her time and interest,pletely turning her into a tool for childbirth.


    Kendrick had never encountered something like that in the past 26 years.


    It was absurd and outrageous.


    But it was rathermon in a wealthy family. There were many girls signing contracts as soon as they


    got married.


    Seth was still egging him on, "Well, after so much favor, I''m sure that she will be willing to do something


    for you. If she refuses to sacrifice for you at all, what is the point of giving her all your heart?"


    Kendrick''s blood froze as he heard that. Such highly provocative words were just swirling in his mind.


    Finally, he raised his eyes rationally and said in a calm voice, "I do want to have the group and lead it to


    another peak. But I want to do it with my ability instead of someone else''s sacrifice orpromise."


    After all, he was a man. How could he gain his own interests by asking her to sign such an unequal and


    oppressive agreement!


    "Natalie is a person!" Kendrick said word by word, "Not a tool. It''s rather normal for her to have her own


    ideas and consciousness. She is not someone unreasonable. There is no restraint between me and


    her. We just show respect to each other." He tried his best to break free from Seth''s logic and told him,


    "I won''t let her sign something like that. Nor did you push her!"


    Seth was speechless, "..."


    Kendrick just knew all of his thoughts and ns.


    All right, just pissed me off!


    Seth exhaled desperately and knocked his cane on the ground angrily, "You... how can you stand up to


    me? Will I do anything bad to you? Tell me!" He just stood up and said, "Well, I just n for your future.


    Although you two are in a good rtionship now, won''t you change your heart one day? I don''t know.


    As you have nothing to tie her down, how can you still spoil her like that? Look, you just show me your


    righteousness. When ites, you will just stew yourself in your own juice then."


    "I don''t think Natalie will stay by your side obediently. I know what she is like. Well, when she is not


    under your control, it will be the day she abandons you."


    Seth had experienced a lot and met many people.


    Certainly, he didn''t think that feelings alone could make a rtionshipst for a long time.


    The eternal love rtionship must work with variousplex interests.


    As his grandson was disabled and couldn''t stand up, he didn''t look like someone who was rather good


    at running a rtionship. He felt that Kendrick just couldn''t control his wife. If something like that


    continued, he was really worried that his grandson might be hurt in the end.


    Kendrick did have thought about it before.


    He once begged Natalie humbly and asked her to make a promise.


    Now Seth just spoke it out clearly. Kendrick only felt solemn. He slightly tugged at the corner of his lips


    and said finally, "Then I will respect her choice."


    Seth was boiling with anger.


    Was Kendrick really the one he taught who was strong and tough and who would destroy everything


    that he couldn''t have?


    "Good. You just disobey me for the sake of such a woman. All right. I will just leave you alone. What


    you will do is none of my business."


    "She is my wife!" In front of his grandfather''s great anger, Kendrick just spoke calmly with an


    indescribable tenderness instead.


    He never thought that he would make a choice between the group and her one day.


    But it didn''t seem to be difficult to do so.


    Compared to his previous cold and boring life with work only, he preferred the mundane but warm days


    now with hustle and bustle.


    A man did need a sense of career and ambition.


    But it was not an excuse to sacrifice the interests of those around him.


    Seth was so angry that he just turned around and left.


    The ss door was open.


    Natalie was standing at the door.


    She met Seth''s gaze.


    Seth knocked on the floor with his cane without even looking at her. He just straightened and walked


    away with a long face.


    As Natalie just left the hospital and came to thepany, she heard Rose saying that the chairmen


    were inside the room and that there seemed to be a dispute between them.


    She walked in and found that Kendrick was tidying up the files on the desk.


    She just found the birth agreement at a nce.


    At first, she was puzzled and then she asked curiously, "Is it that kind of agreement that will reward a


    mansion for having a child?"

 Chapter 192 You Are So Sweet

    Chapter 192 You Are So Sweet


    Chapter 192 You Are So Sweet


    Kendrick didn''t stop Natalie.


    If he refused her to read the document, it would only bring her more anxiety and suspicion.


    Sure enough, her face turned a bit pale after reading it.


    As she grew up in an ordinary family, naturally she had no idea that even having a child in a wealthy


    family could be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.


    Moreover, it was almost an unfair and one-sided oppression.


    She raised her face after reading it and asked in disbelief, "Do... do you want me to sign it?"


    Kendrick just took the document out of her hand and tore it into pieces directly. He threw them into the


    wastebasket aside and said, "Just treat an outrageous agreement like that as a joke and that''s it."


    She was not a fool.


    Naturally, she knew it was Seth''s idea.


    She thought that he would take it to exchange benefits with Kendrick.


    "If I sign it," she asked, "then you..."


    "No such an assumption at all!" Kendrick interrupted, "First, I won''t let you sign it. It''s not fair to you.


    Second, I won''t be restricted by others."


    Seth''s offer was rather generous. But Kendrick would not do anything to harm her for the sake of


    interest, even though Seth would give him the whole Ramsey Group.


    Besides, a second time of that would be likely to ur, once something like that happened for the first


    time.


    He couldn''t be held hostage for any benefit.


    Natalie became speechless immediately as she looked at him.


    If... she meant, if Kendrick persuaded her to sign the agreement and said that it was a sign of love for


    him, what should she do then? Deep in her heart, she felt that the document was totally unfair to


    herself, but what if she sacrificed herself for his benefit?


    However, he didn''t persuade her to do so. Instead, he expressed his firm attitude directly.


    No matter how many love words and no matter how sweet and beautiful they sound, they were not as


    important as his choice at that moment.


    Kendrick changed the topic, "Have you finished all the checks? You left the hospital so early, didn''t


    you?"


    "I have. Nothing serious. Well, I have sent you the report."


    "Prof. Knox said that he would check out the cause of the disease for me." He had also taken her gene.


    "There''s no harm in health checks." Kendrick rubbed her head and asked, "Hungry?"


    "Oh right, I saw a porridge shop downstairs and it looked delicious. How about I buy some for you?"


    "All right."


    After she opened the door and went out, he took out the cigarette case from under the coffee table and


    lit a cigarette for himself.


    As he had been making a choice since he was young, it was not difficult for him to choose A or B. Just


    like what she had told him before, he could follow his heart, no matter if it was A or B.


    He quickly calcted the bargaining chips he had. There were six investmentpanies, four


    securitiespanies and a chip semiconductor factory all controlled by him. Besides, there were


    dozens of otherpanies where he had some controlling interest, including some shares he had in


    Ramsey group. He was thinking about the shares he could control if a financial war waspletely


    waged.


    So far, it may be impossible for him to control the whole group immediately.


    But Seth couldn''t go anything to him either.


    It was the artificial intelligence and semiconductor business, which had just started to have some


    progress, that would be affected badly. He had devoted all his efforts to them. But it was very likely that


    the whole business line would be adjusted and terminated due to internal friction, which was something


    he didn''t want.


    In that circumstance, he was taking a defensive stance.


    What if he took an offensive position?


    Then he would just sacrifice Ramsey Finance and start over.


    Thousands ofplicated thoughts were surging in his mind. The cigarette flickered in his hand. With


    the bluish-white smoke, he looked rather handsome and deep.


    It was a kind of expression that a man would only have when he faced major choices.


    The door was opened with a click.


    No one knew why Natalie came back.


    Immediately, he came back to his senses. As he saw the cigarette in his hand, he just looked for the


    ashtray instantly and wanted to stub it out.


    Where was the fucking ashtray?


    Why couldn''t he just find it?


    But she had seen everything. She wanted tough when she saw him flustered. She took out a piece


    of paper and folded it up, signaling him to put the cigarette butt on it.


    From his look, she could find that he was not in a good mood. But she didn''t say anything, instead, she


    squatted down and asked, "Want some sugar?" She stretched out her hand and there was a


    strawberry-vored milk candy in her palm.


    Seeing that he didn''t refuse, she removed the wrapper of the candy and put it to his lips, "Just eat a


    candy when you''re unhappy."


    Smoking was bad for him.


    The candy was so sweet. He sucked the sweets and began to soothe his brow.


    "The boss said that he would deliver it to meter." She looked at him. She wanted tofort him but


    didn''t know where to start.


    What an issue!


    It was not something that could be solved by writing papers or doing research.


    The wealthy families were calcting with their interest. As she became involved, she also


    experienced those ups and downs.


    He held her hand and beckoned her to sit on hisp. He wrapped his hand around her waist and


    lowered his head to kiss her. He put the candy in her mouth with his tongue and then took it back. Such


    a touching and teasing kiss was something that she had never felt before.


    "You''re so sweet." He bit her lip and said so in a hoarse voice, making the strings in her mind break


    continuously.


    His voice was so hot that she became shy and she lowered her eyes slightly.


    "Oh~" Her jaw was forced to rise again by him. He kissed her, enjoying the sweetness from the kiss.


    He felt that she was so sweet and she behaved nicely.


    How could he make her sad and put her in a dilemma.


    He would just kill anyone who dared to force and harm her!


    ...


    After going back home, Seth became more and more furious as he thought about it.


    Coincidentally, he learned that Brett failed his blind date again. It was his 26th date and none of them


    worked.


    He took out the heart protecting pill from his desk with his trembling hands and took it.


    He felt that none of his children and grandchildren could save him a worry.


    He pounded the table and said angrily, "They are pissing me off. Edgar, tell me, am I wrong?" He told


    Edgar what had happened today, mentioning how Kendrick rebelled against him.


    Edgarforted him, "Well, I have watched Kendrick grow up and know that he is too strong a


    character. You just can''t push him."


    "Well, I just did that for his own good, didn''t I?" Seth felt that he had been wronged, "And he just replied


    to me like that, as if I had done something bad to his wife. He just started to teach me a lesson and


    criticized me for taking a person as a childbirth tool!"


    He was rather furious.


    It was rare for him and Kendrick to argue so much in their work. As they were both tough, they would


    quickly take action once something was settled.


    Seth just intervened in Kendrick''s personal rtionship this time, but he only met with a rebuff.


    "It will be better to leave it to Kendrick and let him deal with it!"


    Seth pursed his lips.


    He was rather determined and he would never give up until his goal was achieved.


    Then he would see who couldn''t stand it and thuspromise first.


    But soon, before he could figure out what he would do next, Ramsey Finance was short sold


    maliciously, causing its stock price to plummet a lot. Its financing product was sold off and brought the


    group a loss of hundreds of millions and countless bad debts in an instant.


    Financial business was just highly risky.


    As Melvin came back and was greedy for financial interests, he just wanted to take over some shares.


    Kendrick did not object and gave them to him directly.


    Unexpectedly, the bank started to fail at that moment.


    Misfortune just never came singly.


    Seth held an emergency meeting overnight. But Kendrick was absent and his assistant just couldn''t


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    reach him, no matter what way he had tried.


    Finally, as ast resort, Seth called Natalie.


    Looking at the man lying on hisp and reading a book, Natalie forced herself to lie, "I don''t know


    where he is!"

 Chapter 193 His Head Was Held By Her

    Chapter 193 His Head Was Held By Her


    Chapter 193 His Head Was Held By Her


    Natalie, who would blush automatically when lying, hung up the phone and asked hesitantly, "You just


    ignore your grandpa when he has something to talk to you?"


    Kendrick looked indifferent, as if he were a worker who decided to resign, "Look at the time now. How


    can he hold a meeting at this moment? He is just spoiled because of our reverence!"


    She was speechless, "..."


    She moved the corners of her lips, but for a while, she just couldn''t find the right words to object.


    Was it something that he would say?


    He seems to ck off at worktely.


    He put away his book and opened Twitter, finding that the enthusiasm for discussing Mrs. Ramsey was


    almost gone.


    She was not some kind of star.


    The Ramsey family was rather conscious of its reputation and just suppressed the heat with an iron fist.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    All thements and posts were deleted.


    Natalie wanted to exin, but Kendrick told her directly, "I don''t need to know you from others''


    opinions."


    He said so in a confident and even conceited manner, dispelling her anxietypletely.


    Now the heat on the inte was all about the Ramsey Finance crisis.


    Financial bloggers were analyzing who was behind the short selling, but no one had a clear answer.


    Someone even suspected that it might be KC, the most mysterious baron in the financial circle.


    They listed some clues and found that it might be him indeed.


    However, KC was said to be inpany with his wife and had not been involved in financial affairs for


    a long time.


    Natalie was still a little worried and asked Kendrick, "What should we do if Grandpa is angry?"


    "God knows!" He answered with such a casual tone, as if he had just let himself go to seed.


    Suddenly, an idea struck her. He wouldn''t want to leave the group, would he?


    Recently, he was actually on the cusp of the crisis. Although he never talked about it, she knew that he


    was in a difficult situation.


    He gave her a favor, but he got the favor from no one.


    Besides, he couldn''t manipte the whole thing behind the scenes this time, could he?


    "Why do you look at me like that?" He asked while he was lying on herp and pinching her face.


    "If you have made a n, well, no matter what it is, I will support you." She pursed her lips.


    She felt it was all right to endure hardship with him.


    ...


    Seth couldn''t help butpromise.


    He swallowed his pride and came to visit Kendrick in person to ask for peace.


    Kendrick looked respectfully and mildly, "Grandpa, please take a seat!"


    "You know there is something happening in the financial business, don''t you?"


    "No, I don''t."


    Then couldn''t you have some responsibilities? You knew nothing about it and you didn''t even think


    about how to solve it?


    Seth thought so in his heart. But he just asked his grandson, "Do you have any good solutions?"


    "No!" Kendrick refused to answer simply.


    "Are you angry with me?" asked Seth angrily.


    "I am not."


    Obviously he was!


    Seth calmed down and said, "Well, I didn''t consider your feelings that day when I said those words."


    What he had said that day was actually driving a wedge between Kendrick and Natalie. He mentioned


    that Natalie would run away when she was not under Kendrick''s control, which was unpleasant and


    harsh to the ear. He added that Natalie just stamped on Kendrick''s head and his grandson had showed


    him no respect at all.


    After all, it was Seth, Kendrick''s grandpa.


    No one else would dare to say so in front of Kendrick.


    Kendrick remained silent.


    "Don''t be like that." Seth said in a deep voice. He relented after a while and said, "Tell me about your


    conditions."


    There was still no good solution to that issue.


    The financial business was rather extensive with so many parties involved and it was likely to endanger


    all the business of the group.


    Seth was getting old and his character had been the same since he was young. Kendrick had no


    interest in telling his grandpa what to do, but he felt that it is still necessary to remind the old man.


    "Don''t speak ill of her in front of anyone again, nor force her to do anything."


    It was his first condition.


    He took it to heart.


    "Well, you can give advice to me at work, but don''t meddle in my personal rtionships!"


    Seth was speechless, "..."


    Fine.


    He didn''t want to meddle in his affairs anyway.


    "In all conscience, have I interfered before?" If it weren''t for such a big mess this time, he would never


    stick his nose in.


    Kendrick just turned a blind eye to his grandpa''s grievances. If he didn''t take a hard line, Seth would


    really take a mile and wouldn''t take it seriously.


    The following conditions were all rted to Natalie, having nothing to do with the Ramsey Group.


    Seth couldn''t figure out what Kendrick wanted. As he thought that Kendrick had been cking off at


    work, he found that something was wrong.


    As something happened in the financial business this time, he felt that no one was capable of dealing


    with the whole situation.


    He thought that Kendrick was badly needed in the group.


    ...


    Natalie was reading the news on Twitter downstairs.


    Discussions about her on the inte had been suppressed, but a turning point urred at the same


    time.


    Aizen named Maruko on Twitter said that she shared the same dormitory and it was true that a


    roommate called Lauren Sharp had depression but she had suffered from it from high school. So


    everyone in the dormitory knew it and would pay attention to everything. In addition, she said that


    Natalie had moved out of the dormitory very early.


    The time shown in the post was simply not right.


    Half of theizens justmented for spilling the tea, while half of them scolded Maruko about how


    much money she had taken to post a text like that.


    But Maruko was rather straightforward. She just fought with thoseizens and said that she was being


    honest and wouldn''t judge anything she didn''t know. She felt that it was nderous to say that Natalie


    bullied others. She also shared the chat log of her dormitory where Lauren exposed her illness on the


    first day of her visit.


    She also questioned the one who imed to be Lauren''s friend behind the scenes. Why did that so-


    called friend fabricate the truth? What did she want? Did she take money and use Lauren as the


    shield? And how did she know so much about Natalie?


    Maruko epted all public confrontation.


    Natalie privately thanked her and wanted to know who the righteous roommate was as she was willing


    to speak out and help.


    As she just sent the message, she saw Sething from upstairs. He had been talking for over three


    hours and he looked almost gloomy and disappointed.


    But she still sent him out politely.


    Although she felt tired of being at the Ramsey family for a moment, Kendrick''s firm choice just pulled


    her back.


    Seth waved his hand and said, "It''s cold outside. Just stay inside."


    He said in a rather bleak voice, as if he had suffered some serious blow.


    She had no idea what Kendrick had said to him.


    ...


    At night, Natalie was lying on Kendrick''sp and asked him to dry her hair. She told him to be careful


    for fear that her hair would be sucked in the hair dryer and she would get hurt.


    Kendrick was speechless, "..."


    She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the hair dryer, asking, "What did you say to Grandpa?


    He seems to be..."


    Rather sad, right. Just look at him.


    As Kendrick told Seth that he wanted to leave the group, Seth was just stunned at the moment.


    He hadn''t said a word for a long time.


    He came to his senses and repeatedly checked out whether he misheard.


    He never expected that Kendrick would say something like that to him.


    Originally, he just wanted to retreat in order to advance, but he didn''t expect that Kendrick would give


    him such a blow.


    Seth refused.


    But Kendrick had already asked his grandpa to reconsider a suitable sessor.


    He just wanted to be Natalie''s shelter. If she suffered because of him, certainly he would need to


    make new choices.


    Kendrick recalled what had happened. Immediately, Seth was down in the dumps. His face turned gray


    and he looked deste, refusing to say yes.


    Kendrick took the hair dryer and asked, "Do I have your word?"


    What?


    Natalie remembered and said, "Oh, to keep you? Yes, you do."


    She thought for a moment and asked, "Then how much should I give you on a monthly basis?" She


    frowned after calcting for a bit, "Well, you spend a lot of money." And then she whispered, "You need


    to lower your living standards." Well, just don''t keep those expensive orchids. How about drinking


    regr water?"


    Kendrick smiled and pinched her face, "You stingy girl!"


    And then he restrained his look and held her habitually. He got close to her and whispered in her ear to


    say sorry.


    In the morning, she was still thinking about her purpose ining here. But she was rather certain


    about it now. She wanted to spend a whole life with him. Flowers? Wind and rain? Whether it was joy


    or sorrow on the journey, she would just experience everything with him.


    "I''m not someone who cannot withstand setbacks." Sheforted him, "Besides, life is not always


    going along nicely and we will face various difficulties and obstacles. We just have to face them instead


    of avoiding them. Actually, I thought about withdrawing a little at one moment, but you just chose me so


    firmly. At that time, I was not afraid of anything really. Therefore, there is no need for you to apologize


    to me. That is also my choice!"


    She chose to stand firmly with him.


    And she never changed that throughout.


    She pointed to her heart and said, "It''s beating very fast now and it tells me that I just make the right


    choice."


    "Let me listen to it!" He got close to her chest seriously and began to listen to her heartbeat.


    The button of her pajama was just undone.


    He said that he could hear more clearly in that circumstance.


    The second button was also unbuckled and he kissed her chest where her heart was.


    In a panic, she remembered that she had to go to the hospital again tomorrow. She grabbed his hair


    and stopped him from doing something hot on her.


    He looked up and said, "There is no mark."


    Thanks to Nn, now he had to control his kiss!


    He looked aggrieved, poor and somewhat cautious, making her feel something strange. All right, just


    gave him somefort.


    She kissed his lips and said gently, "Let me kiss you then!"


    She caressed his chest and abdominal muscles with her soft little hands and moved her hands all the


    way down.


    His eyes just couldn''t help but be deep, as ck as ink.

    Chapter 194 He Would Only Be Better Until She Touched Him A Lot And Felt Sore


    Kendrick, who was rather self-respecting, suffered for a long time and finally got the gentle touch of


    Natalie.


    As if he were a little child, he began to whimper happily and told himself secretly to cheer up. He


    thought that he couldn''t be softhearted and thus give in because of her touch, and that he must show


    her how tough he was!


    He was not that easy to get round, was he?


    He would only be better until she touched him a lot and felt sore.


    So this time, he just let her stroke his head and that was it.


    Next time she must kiss him.


    But when would she do that?


    After kissing, he still wanted to...


    He began to shed tears.


    ...


    In the early morning, Natalie began to be in a daze after waking up.


    She couldn''t help but think about what had happenedst night.


    She thought of Kendrick, who was restraint obviously but looked rather emotional. His eyes were


    reddish about the rims slightly and he sweated a bit on his forehead. He kissed her and whispered her


    name unconsciously.


    He was driving her crazy.


    But he seemed to be rather happy, didn''t he?


    As he held her at night, he said in a deep and gentle voice. He became thoughtful and asked her


    whether she felt sore with her hands.


    Of course she did!


    If she hadn''t scratched her nails identally in the end, she might have broken her hand!


    She coughed and yanked her mind back.


    "I''m going to the hospital today. If Ie back toote, just don''t wait for me to have dinner together!"


    After telling Kendrick about it, she took the scarf she had bought him before and put it around his neck.


    She bent down and kissed him on the cheek.


    He had cked off for a few days.


    Seth came to visit Kendrick personally and finally persuaded thetter to deal with the turmoil of


    Ramsey Finance.


    Kendrick''s n was to allow the group to go bankrupt and then he would reorganize itpletely. He


    then acquired 51% of its shares through Honest Securities, which he spent lots of his efforts on


    operation. It was also apany he fully controlled. In that circumstance, Ramsey Finance''s shares


    would be adjusted and thergest shareholder would be Honest Securities with Kendrick himself


    behind the scenes.


    Natalie hopped his rides and went to the hospital. As she read the financial news, she saw some


    discussions about it. There was a post analyzing that it might be KC''s work. The way that Ramsey


    Group was short sold and its capital chain was broken was exactly the same way that a securities


    C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    At that time, the financial circle all discussed about the doer. Which institution did it exactly?


    In the forum, someone detailed all the steps of short selling, which amounted to direct provocation.


    It was the first time that KC had appeared in public.


    His identity, background and age were mysterious.


    The only thing that could be sure was that he was a naive man, because he forgot to change his


    ount which exposed that he stayed with his wife.


    After so many years have passed, KC should have been his middle age. Perhaps he had already


    be a greasy man who dealt with the family chores all day. Well, the ultimate destination for men


    was still the family.


    The news got Natalie.


    She didn''t notice that Kendrick nced at her, "What are you reading? You are rather serious."


    "I''m reading the analysis of the financial turmoil of the group." She said to him, "It is maliciously short


    sold by someone."


    He was rather unimpressed, "Well, with such a loophole, isn''t it normal for someone to make it go


    short?" And then he restrained his look and said, "The most important thing now is to find a way to


    save the group. Apart from that, nothing matters."


    She nodded and guessed from his look that he might havee out with a solution.


    "Well, that KC seems to be amazing." She moved on, "It seemed that he was just an adult when he


    became famous in the investment circle."


    His gaze fell deeply on her face.


    Was he jealous just because she praised someone else?


    "He is not bad." He restrained his tone, "What? Are you curious about him?"


    "No. Why am I interested in a middle-aged man?" She smiled and held his face.


    A middle-aged man?


    Who was ndering him!


    He would suspend his ount immediately!


    ...


    Natalie received Nn''s earnest greetings as soon as she arrived at the hospital.


    Nn asked whether she felt better and why her face was still so pale.


    "Well, I bought roasted chestnuts on the street and I waited for a long time. It was the wind blowing."


    Nn was speechless, "..."


    Natalie gave him the roasted chestnuts and said, "Have a taste then. It is a unique delicacy on the


    streets of Hamgrad which is called sugar roasted chestnut."


    Prof. Knox peeled a chestnut and put it in his mouth. He reached out his hand and gave a thumb-up.


    It was a long check in the morning.


    Natalie took advantage of the gap and browed the news on Twitter, finding that there were over 10


    thousandments on Maruko''s tweet. At first, someone doubted that she might receive some money


    to post a text like that and then he felt embarrassed and deleted thements himself as he found that


    Maruko had posted sufficient evidence.


    But there was nothing new posted on the twitter of that so-called Lauren''s friend.


    Saul also forwarded Maruko''s tweet at the same time.


    As Saul got involved in the esports industry, he had led a team in the university and won the


    championship of the citypetition. With his good looks, he got a lot of female fans.


    In thement area, one of those fans asked him why he wanted to get involved in it. He just


    answered frankly, "Can''t I speak for my ssmate when she is wronged?"


    Soon, his female fans were divided into two teams. Those who supported him said that it required


    courage to speak for his ssmate and that it was kind-hearted of him to be willing to button it down for


    the ssmate.


    But the other team said that he just spoke rashly with just one side of the story as Lauren didn''t show


    up and spoke out the truth at all. What if there was a reversal?


    Saul was still in the hospital at that time and his ster hadn''t been removed.


    He enjoyed a good meal every day without any drawings. Apart from being forced to study, there was


    nothing bad.


    As he learned about it in his ssmate group today, he figured out the truth roughly by clicking on his


    twitter ount which he hadn''t logged in to for a long time.


    He replied to the message with his left hand and saw that the ward door was opened.


    It was Elsie.


    She looked rather cold and she ordered Saul from a few miles away, "Just delete the tweet!"


    "Why?"


    "That is no reason for you to do so. What does it have to do with you?" She changed from her gentle


    and kind look to a cold and tough attitude, "To speak for them? What for?"


    "She is my ssmate. And bullying is not something trivial." Saul retorted. He exined to his sister


    patiently who grew up together with him and whom he relied on, "If we don''t rify it for her, the


    Education Bureau will intervene and thus investigate the issue."


    "And it is their business. The Ramsey family." Elsie grabbed his phone, but she found that she couldn''t


    unlock the phone and thus threw it back at him, "If the Ramsey family is going to abandon her, you will


    only offend more people as you speak for her."


    Saul remained silent as a confrontation.


    "Don''t want to delete it at all? Want him to know and be locked up in theboratory?"


    As the word boratory" reached his ears, those memories of his childhood surged up in his mind. His


    nerves trembled and his face turned pale greatly and immediately.


    "Delete the ount then." Elsie relented and said in a mournful voice, "Well, you don''t want to go


    there, neither did I!"


    ...


    Originally, Natalie wanted to change her ount and leave a message to Saul to express her gratitude


    for what he had done.


    As she just logged in, she found that his ount was suspended.


    Instantly, his homepage was not avable.


    Natalie was speechless, "..."


    What was going on?


    Maruko''s ount was still all right. She spoke for Natalie and fought with countlessizens, but there


    was nothing wrong with her ount which still existed toughly.


    Did he say something improper? Did he scold something and thus vite the relevant regtions?


    After taking the report, she came back and met a dark figure at the corner. No one knew what the


    person was thinking about and he just ran straight into her.

 Chapter 195 The Crisis of Ramsey Finance

    Chapter 195 The Crisis of Ramsey Finance


    Chapter 195 The Crisis of Ramsey Finance


    The person stumbled back several steps and propped her hands against the wall before barely


    standing firm.


    Natalie finally saw her face clearly.


    It was Elsie.


    Natalie hadn''t expected to see her here.


    Then it urred to her that Saul was also in this hospital. She wondered if his hand was any better.


    Seeing Natalie, Elsie was also a bit surprised. She stood up straight and apologized. After that, she


    quickly resumed her usual casual expression and her usual grace.


    "Has Saul got better?"


    "The ster will be removed tomorrow."


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Natalie then gave her some more reminders.


    Suddenly, Elsie''s gaze fell on her.


    Natalie did it out of professional habit. Noticing her gaze, she stopped talking immediately.


    Before leaving, Elsie suddenly stopped her, "If you want to solve this matter, you need to ask the victim


    to stand out and rify it. There is no need to have any sympathy or pity for her just because she is


    suffering from depression."


    Natalie was also thinking about this matter.


    She was currentlymunicating with Maruko and trying to solve this problem through her.


    However, hearing Elsie say that, Natalie felt that she was a person who would show no empathy in


    order to achieve her goal.


    Whether for good intentions or other purposes, she felt like the two of them were not the same kind of


    people.


    Natalie''s intuition told her that Elsie wasplicated and gloomy.


    She liked to get along with simple and gentle people.


    At noon, Lauren finally stood out to rify the matter. She said openly, "I do have depression, but I got


    it before college. My roommates knew about it, and there was no bullying or discord. I''m actively


    fighting against my depression, and I don''t want anyone to use my illness as a means to attack


    innocent people."


    At this, the matter had basicallye to an end.


    Maruko finally replied to Natalie''s message among thousands of private messages. Although they had


    been roommates before, they were just ordinary friends and had not even friended each other on Line.


    However, she was still willing to stand up and speak this time.


    She and her family had been cursed countless times byizens, and she had also cursed back.


    Even so, she was still so strong-minded and active.


    Apparently, there was someone backing up behind her.


    Natalie sighed inwardly.


    She thought of Kendrick, who had always been helping her quietly behind her back without telling her.


    Those delicate emotions piled up like handfuls of sugar on her heart and blew into clouds of cotton


    candy, fluffy and soft.


    Such unswerving reliance calmed her.


    She said in her heart, "When thingse, just solve them one by one.


    With him, there is no obstacle that cannot be ovee."


    ...


    Melvin didn''t have time to deal with Natalie now.


    Ramsey Finance was now in a severe financial crisis and suffering from heavy losses. He was fully


    responsible for this because the loopholes in his blind investment and lending were caught.


    And no one was cleaning up this mess.


    In the end, Kendrick had toe back and solve the crisis.


    As soon as he had returned, he locked Melvin out of the conference room, barring him from any


    meeting discussions.


    Rows of ck-suited bodyguards stood outside the conference room to prevent malicious intrusions.


    To put it more bluntly, they were there to keep Melvin out. Melvin was furious and stamped his foot.


    However, he couldn''t withstand the bodyguards who were many in number and skillful in fights.


    And Brock was also there.


    With a height of more than six feet and a thick neck, he looked very formidable.


    Melvin touched his arm, where the bitter memory of being beaten by Brock that day still lingered. He


    did not stay there any longer but turned away.


    Afterwards, he talked to everyone he met about how his nephew had ostracized and repressed him,


    saying that Kendrick had even pointed a gun at him and might one day kill him. Anyway, he kept


    However, others didn''t take his words to heart. They even thought, "Come on, you have sound limbs


    and act arrogantly every day. Obviously, you are the one who has been ostracizing Mr. Ramsey.


    Without a word, he handed over the financial business to you. When the financial business was in his


    hands, the risks were manageable and the funds were safe. How came it to suffer such a great crisis


    after it was handed over to you? Almost the entire group''s business has been affected by it.


    Everyone can see that Mr. Ramsey has suffered a lot of grievances. It''s not his business, but he still


    has toe back to solve it while he''s still sick. He even coughed several times during the meeting,


    which was really distressing."


    ...


    Kendrick did catch a cold.


    However, he deserved it.


    Last night, his legs were covered with nkets. In the middle of the night, however, he lost himself in


    lust and asked Natalie to look at his lower body.


    Natalie naturally rejected him and scolded him for his shamelessness.


    However, men were always self-taught in the pursuit of excitement, and they could never be satisfied.


    Natalie could only take a brief nce.


    The next moment, little Kendrick, who had been so hard, slowly yielded to her.


    Natalie thought it was really amazing.


    She had not expected that little Kendrick would be so changeable in her hands.


    Kendrick might have caught a cold because of that.


    The conference room was very quiet, and sometimes there was a slight cough from the man in the


    main seat. Nigel quickly handed over a ss of hot water.


    Even though he was suffering from a cold, Kendrick persevered and held a lengthy meeting thatsted


    nearly eight hours, listing all the solutions one by one and settling on a final approach. The entire


    process was orderly, without any panic, and his control of each node was precise and rigorous.


    During Kendrick''s absence from work in the past few days, everyone did realize that he was the most


    indispensable person for the Ramsey Group.


    ...


    Natalie received a call from Susan in the car back home.


    Last time, Owen told her that Susan had regained consciousness and was recovering well.


    Natalie answered the call and then heard Susan, who had always been calm and elegant, angrily say,


    "My good girl, I believe you''re not what people online say. Who would want to hurt you so much behind


    your back? He''s really malicious! We have to catch him and then teach him a lesson. How dare he


    bully our Ramsey family like this?"


    The Ramsey family had prospered for more than 100 years.


    Its descendants were scattered both home and abroad.


    There were forces everywhere.


    The Ramsey Group was only the tip of the iceberg on the surface.


    Natalie didn''t know what to say.


    After all, perhaps no one outside the Ramsey family would dare to bully her.


    However, she might have enemies within the Ramsey family.


    Before Natalie could speak, Susan said, "Melvin is so pampered by Seth that he can only y some


    lowly tricks and has no business talent. I can''t believe that he even caused such a big mess in financial


    business."


    The incident had be really big.


    Almost all domestic and foreign newspapers were following up on it.


    Some wondered whether Ramsey Finance would survive, and who would lead it out of its predicament.


    Affected by the financial business, the stock prices in all sectors of the Ramsey Group had been


    declining in recent days.


    In fact, it was not just the Ramsey Group.


    Even the financial stock market in Hamgrad had been affected, and almost all the stock prices were


    declining.


    It was the so-called chaebol controlling and influencing the economic lifeline.


    "Susan, don''t worry. Kendrick is already doing his best to solve it, and I believe he wille up with a


    solution," Natalie took the opportunity to say.


    "Every time there is a mess, it is left to him to clean up." Susan''s tone sounded very dissatisfied. "He is


    a junior, so is it fair for him to bear the consequences of the mistakes of his elders?"


    Kendrick was only 26 years old, but he had already had to bear so much pressure.


    No one cared for him.


    They only came to him when failing to solve the problem.


    Upon hearing Susan''s words, Natalie felt somewhat warm.


    "There is still someone in thisplex and scheming Ramsey family who really cares about him


    without any calctions," she thought.


    "I must go back as soon as possible." After a pause, Susan continued, "Nat, good girl, thank you for


    saving me."

 Chapter 196 Natalies Defense of Kendrick

    Chapter 196 Natalie''s Defense of Kendrick


    Chapter 196 Natalie''s Defense of Kendrick


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "Saving people is my bound duty.


    Therefore, I cannot retreat because of any difficulties.


    This is also a motto that I was told by Easton to remember at the beginning of my medical studies."


    Intelligence and resilience, etched into her genes, made it impossible for Natalie to pass through her


    life like an ordinary person. Although there was nothing wrong with that, she was destined to stand at


    the peak of the times.


    After hanging up on Susan, Natalie breathed a long sigh of relief.


    She pursed her lips and looked out into the night with a faint smile.


    Meanwhile, she said in her heart, "It''s indeed not necessary to think about whether it''s worth it or how


    much to lose before doing anything.


    In that case, fate will suddenly arrange a surprise for you at some point."


    ...


    Kendrick''s meeting was still going on at 9 p.m.


    When Natalie arrived downstairs at the Ramsey Group, arge number of domestic and foreign


    financial journalists were waiting there with lots of magnesiummps. The journalists wanted to get


    first-hand news, and the spokesperson in the group''s public rtions department was blocked there to


    answer their questions.


    Natalie put down her hand.


    "At present, a meeting is being held within the group to discuss a solution. I believe Mr. Ramsey has


    the ability to resolve this matter."


    The spokesperson''s monotonous answer clearly did not satisfy the journalists.


    They wanted something eye-catching.


    "The financial crisis broke out suddenly after Mr. Melvin took over the financial business, and before


    that, it had always been in charge of by Mr. Ramsey. The two are said to have long been at odds. Is


    there any hidden truth behind the crisis?"


    The question raised by the financial journalist was sharp and tricky.


    "There is no hidden truth, and the crisis was caused by someone''s maliciously shorting."


    The spokesperson was kind of speechless by the question. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat off


    his face while mechanically and numbly beating around the bush.


    "Have you found out who is maliciously shorting?"


    "Not yet."


    "Mr. Melvin revealed to the media that this is actually a conspiracy. He said someone had intentionally


    framed him by manipting the crisis behind the scenes, with the aim of excluding and suppressing


    him. Can you please ask Mr. Ramsey toe and exin it to the public?"


    "Why should hee to exin?"


    Suddenly, the clear voice of a young girl was heard in the crowd.


    Then, a tall and thin girl in a dark blue cashmere coat with a bun stood in front of the public rtions


    spokesperson of the Ramsey Group. She said, "Please give me a logical and unquestionable reason."


    The journalist was silent for a moment.


    "The financial crisis was caused by ack of risk control for blind investment. Currently, the group has


    formed a financial supervision team and requested the financial department to cooperate in


    investigating the reasons behind the crisis. If there is any dereliction of duty by relevant personnel, they


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    will be dealt with in ordance with thew."


    Natalie faced the camera and said word by word, "All of this is under the supervision of shareholders.


    As for the conspiracy and maniption you mentioned, that''s because someone is deliberately


    confusing the public in order to avoid responsibility."


    "But there are indeed rumors of discord between Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Melvin. How do you exin


    this?"


    Natalie smiled.


    "Even parents and children, as well as husband and wife, will often have conflicts. There is not 100%


    harmony among people, and there are different levels of thinking and strategic perspectives. Isn''t it


    normal to have differences?"


    Her statement first acknowledged that there was indeed a contradiction between the two. She did not


    conceal the fact.


    However, at the same time, this contradiction had been transformed into a difference due to different


    levels of thinking through her processing ofnguage.


    After saying that, Natalie thought, "Every smart person knows what''s going on.


    Kendrick is a model worker and a work machine at the Ramsey Group. He sometimes works 20 hours


    a day. At the age of 22, he returned from his studies in Faymany and entered the group. Step by step,


    he started his career in the financial business. Currently, he is in charge of new businesses in


    electronics and artificial intelligence that are challenging humanity to new heights it has never reached


    before.


    And Melvin...


    What extraordinary abilities does he have?


    When he went on stage to sing at the group''s 50th-anniversary celebration party, half the audience


    immediately left.


    When he participated in the triple jump of the group''s autumn sports meeting, he fell into the bunker


    awkwardly.


    Therefore, the two of them really have different levels of thinking and ability.


    One is up in the sky, another is down on the ground.


    There is a huge gap between them."


    Thinking of this, Natalie pushed aside the camera and said seriously, "As a financial journalist, you


    should focus on the problem itself with your dialectical thinking and pursue the authenticity and


    effectiveness of the news, rather than specting and believing in conspiracy. Otherwise, what''s the


    difference between you and the paparazzi looking for gossip news?"


    She reached out to poke the press certificate on the journalist''s chest and said, "Don''t make your


    certificate cheap!"


    The journalist''s ears blushed involuntarily.


    "Ramsey Finance is the pir industry of the group and also rtes to the safety of billions of capital.


    There is no reason to let it fall. We will choose the safest and most efficient way to ovee this crisis.


    Please give us time and confidence."


    She reached out and grabbed the PR spokesperson by the shoulder, motioning him to bow with her.


    Her answer was like a carrot after a stick.


    It was truly clever and brilliant, with no ambiguity in professional questions but an exemry attitude.


    Someone in the crowd started apuding her graceful and tactful speech.


    After bowing, the spokesperson of the group wiped his sweat on the side and thought in confusion,


    "Who is she and where did shee from? But no matter what, she helped me solve a big problem."


    The financial media surrounded Natalie and prepared to ask her a few more questions.


    However, the scene was quickly surrounded by ck-suited bodyguards, and the financial journalists


    were kindly advised to leave.


    One of them said, "It''s alreadyte, and the meeting hasn''t ended yet.


    "We will notify all the media as soon as the meeting is over. We hope that you guys can go and rest for


    now instead of catching a cold in the freezing wind."


    Natalie looked up and saw Brock, the tallest among the bodyguards. He walked over to her and


    whispered, "Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey asked me to take you up."


    In fact, the footage of the live stream just now had been projected in the conference room.


    At first, the senior executives in the financial department were still wondering who Natalie was and


    worried that she might havee to cause trouble. However, they then heard her clear, logical, and


    appropriate answer. Instead of exposing the Ramsey Group''s internal conflicts, she cleverly belittled


    Melvin and ttered Kendrick.


    The next moment, they saw the man in the main seat finally rx his originally furrowed eyebrows and


    slowly reveal a faint smile.


    They couldn''t help but think, "Who the hell is this girl?


    She''s so beautiful and clever, simply a model of high emotional intelligence."


    As everyone was still specting, Kendrick, on the other side of the long table, who had been holding a


    meeting for the whole day, had already started to make a final summary and announced the end of the


    meeting.


    ...


    Natalie was still muttering as she followed Brock upstairs.


    Brock was aggrieved. "But when Mr. Ramsey saw you surrounded by so many people, he was very


    worried about you. He immediately asked me toe down and drive, no, ask them away!"


    "I''m fine. What I''m best at is reasoning and presenting facts. As you have seen, the journalist was


    speechless when I refuted him just now."


    Hearing that, Brock roasted in his heart, "It sounds like Mr. Ramsey has a significant impact on your


    performance."


    After the meeting, Kendrick was watching the live stream rey in his office.


    Meanwhile, he thought, "The spokesperson in the finance department is really a waste. He was


    stupefied by the journalist''s question and was sweating profusely. He could only think of such repeated


    and perfunctory arguments like ''It''s not true'' or ''I don''t know.''"


    When Natalie appeared on the camera, the initial bulletments were all about who this beautiful girl


    was. But soon, the screen was flooded with thumbs-ups, and the previously bleak live stream became


    unprecedentedly popr thanks to her sharp speech.


    Not surprisingly, a hot search about her immediately followed.


    The title was "The Spokesperson of the Ramsey Group".


    Thest time Natalie appeared on the hot search was because of her negative news, and the other


    party used Ms. Quinn instead of her full name in the news, afraid of being legally held ountable by


    the Ramsey Group.


    Her hot search this time, however, was full of praise.


    As soon as Natalie pushed open the office door, she heard her own voiceing from within


    Kendrick''s tablet.

 Chapter 197 Melvin Wants to Target Natalie

    Chapter 197 Melvin Wants to Target Natalie


    Chapter 197 Melvin Wants to Target Natalie


    Hearing that, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "Is he watching my live stream speech?


    At that time, I was about toe up with the chicken porridge, but I heard the journalist''s irresponsible


    query and saw the spokesperson of the group almost faint. Therefore, I simply went up myself."


    Natalie walked over with the chicken porridge and lifted the lid carefully. Fortunately, it only spilled a


    little.


    Kendrick raised his eyes from the tablet and took the opportunity to bury his face in her bosom. He took


    her to hisp and said, "I was considering letting you work during the day and y the violin on the


    street at night. Now it seems that you can also work as a public rtions spokesperson on weekends."


    The implication was that Natalie could work three jobs and earn three sries to support him.


    Natalie did not get it at first. After thinking for a while, she said in her heart with anger, "He''s obviously


    trying to exploit me!


    What an unscrupulous and shameless capitalist!


    He wants to drain me!"


    Natalie tried to break free from his hand wrapping around her waist and patted it while saying, "You''re


    too unscrupulous. How can you exploit me by asking me to work three jobs?"


    "Do you think I''m so easy to support?" Kendrick felt proud instead of ashamed, without any


    psychological scruples or burdens. He said cheekily, "How can you support me without working


    harder?"


    Natalie pursed her lips as if to contradict him, but she could not. After all, she had made the promise


    herself. Meanwhile, Kendrick thought her angry little face was really cute.


    He kissed her cheek and said in a gentle tone, "I was just teasing you."


    Kendrick naturally could not bear to see Natalie suffer.


    Natalie turned to re at him and said with a blushing and angry face, "That must be what you are


    thinking. Otherwise, how would you say that?"


    Kendrick hadn''t expected her to take it to heart.


    He smiled lightly and kissed her again. "Aren''t you tired of talking so much? Do you want some water?"


    "Yes, my throat is burning up."


    Kendrick reached for the mug on the table with warm water in it.


    Natalie thought he was going to hand it to her, but she hadn''t expected him to drink it himself.


    Her face grew suddenly dark, and she was so angry that she reached for the mug. Unexpectedly,


    Kendrick caught her chin and kissed her directly, and all the water was poured into her mouth.


    It was a really intimate way of drinking water.


    Natalie had never heard of it before.


    Such was the undisguised thick joy and love that ran through Kendrick''s bones and blood.


    Therefore, he would not miss any opportunity to be intimate and entangled with her.


    Natalie''s face flushed again.


    Fearing that she might unconsciously incite him again, she got down from him flustered and began to


    divide the chicken porridge.


    Suddenly, Kendrick coughed softly.


    "Did you catch a cold?"


    "No, but my throat is not feeling well."


    He thought, "I have had a sore throat all day and have been coughing for a long time, but it shouldn''t


    be a cold. Maybe it''s because of the long meeting today. If I do catch a cold, I may have to sleep alone


    again. That must be very cold!"


    Natalie immediately went for a forehead thermometer to take his temperature. Fortunately, he didn''t


    have a fever.


    "Then tonight..."


    Kendrick looked up at her.


    "You should rest early."


    This was eptable for Kendrick.


    The two of them shared a box of chicken porridge. It was now winter, and the hot porridge warmed


    them up. Kendrick had never had such simple, homely food before. To him, all the food was just to


    maintain his physical strength and nutrition.


    After he was together with Natalie, he finally felt what life was about.


    ...


    Natalie''s live-stream rebuttal against the journalist had been on the hot search all night.


    Thements were very exciting.


    [She''s so eloquent. Will she consider publishing a book? I''ll be the first to buy it!]


    [There seems to be nothing wrong with what she said, but each of her words is sarcastic. Did you guys


    notice that? Obviously, she means that A is not as good as B and that they have different levels of


    thinking. Apparently, she was mocking A for being stupid.]


    [I think she can even take a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.]


    [Am I the only one who noticed the bag in her hand? Is that chicken porridge? I want to eat that too.]


    In fact, some of those journalists were invited by Melvin.


    The Ramsey Group had always been on the cusp, so naturally, it was important to maintain a good


    rtionship with the media.


    Melvin had openly and secretly revealed in advance that it was Kendrick who had been ying tricks


    behind this matter, which exined why there would be a crisis as soon as he handed over the


    financial business to him.


    However, he had no evidence.


    Therefore, he could only nder Kendrick with unfounded usations.


    Now, seeing Natalie on the hot search, withments mostly mocking him, he was even more


    infuriated.


    He could not let go of it at all and was determined to cause some more trouble.


    After thinking for a long time, he decided to target Natalie this time.


    He said in his heart, "Well, let''s wait and see how long you can be so arrogant!


    I''ll find a way to split and reorganize Ramsey Fashion and cut off all of your brand lines. Anyway, many


    of them are not profitable. Then I''ll dismiss all your colleagues, leaving you alone in helplessness."


    Melvin could do nothing to the mid-level and senior executives.


    However, he was confident in dealing with those who followed Natalie, for they were all neers to


    thepany.


    He thought, "After all, I''m at least a shareholder, so it will be just a piece of cake to fire them all.


    If Kendrick dares to interfere in this?"


    Melvin chuckled at the thought.


    Then his thoughts went on, "Three months ago, Kendrick agreed to the n of business division and


    restructuring proposed by the strategic development department. At that time, Ramsey Fashion was in


    loss-making, with aplex and cumbersome product line that consumed a lot of resources.


    Therefore, if he suddenly retracts now, then he will be going back on his words."


    ...


    Natalie soon received the news.


    Her colleagues were interviewed by the group''s human resources managers because of their


    performance.


    Indeed, these people had not been led by a capable leader before Natalie''s arrival, so their


    performance evaluation for thest three quarters was quite poor.


    Natalie couldn''t help but think, "The Ramsey Group has been established for many years and has


    Department fights have existed for many years.


    I also received news that Melvin is putting pressure on the strategic development department to restart


    the optimization n for the fashion and beauty brands.


    He also said the n had been approved by Kendrick, who is busy dealing with the financial crisis.


    Therefore, Melvin takes the opportunity to offer to handle this small matter for him.


    In fact, fools are not scary or annoying.


    However, it''s annoying that such a fool like him had to pretend to be smart.


    He has really overestimated himself."


    ...


    Melvin gathered a group of people for a meeting.


    When Natalie arrived, she heard him saycently in the main seat, "I thought you wouldn''t dare to


    There were many bodyguards in the conference room.


    Melvin had specially arranged for them there, fearing that Natalie would suddenly get physical.


    After all, he had learned how short-tempered she could be.


    Melvin proudly raised the n in his hand and said, "After the preliminary review, Kendrick thought the


    n was okay, but it hasn''t been carried out yet. He''s too busy, so today, I am going to help him get this


    done.

    "We''ll streamline the brands, cut the budget, and reduce personnel expenses. In short, we''ll shut down


    all the unprofitable ns and fire all those who are useless. The Ramsey Group doesn''t need any idle


    employees. Don''t think that you can still work here while being ck."


    He named a few people, all of whom were colleagues rted to Natalie. "Look at your poor


    performances in the previous three quarters. If we don''t fire you, others will definitely think the Ramsey


    Group is a nursing home!"


    After that, he said to Natalie, "You can raise your objections."


    Natalie nced at him casually and said, "I have no objection."


    Melvin hadn''t expected to hear that.


    Suddenly, Natalie sneered, "But let''s first make clear who the boss of the fashion department is. Who


    gives you the right to interfere in our affairs?"


    "It''s Susan. Unfortunately, she is now overseas, and I have the executive power. Therefore, why can''t I


    fire these people? Even if Susan is here, I can still kick them out."


    "Really?" Suddenly, the door of the conference room was slowly opened, and a calm female voice


    sounded, "My good nephew, we haven''t seen each other for many years, and you''re still so impolite!"

 Chapter 198 Susan Is Back

    Chapter 198 Susan Is Back


    Chapter 198 Susan Is Back


    Susan was Seth''s youngest sister.


    She was now fifty-five years old.


    She was elegant and kind in temperament.


    "Who are you going to fire?" After the ck suit bodyguard opened the door, Susan asked, "Tell me,


    Melvin, what mistakes did these people make? Why would you, an M-level manager, fire them


    personally?"


    The moment Melvin saw Susan, his expression froze on the spot.


    He thought in shock, "Hasn''t she been undergoing chemotherapy for her intracerebral tumor that


    cannot be removed? She is blind in one eye, and I have even heard that she is dying. At that time, I


    was thinking about how to divide her shares if she died. After all, she owns nearly 20% of the entire


    group''s shares alone, which gives her an absolute say in many decisions.


    It has not been a long time, has it?


    Why would she suddenly appear here and look so healthy?


    Has the tumor in her head already been removed?


    Is it not that no doctor dares to operate on her?


    Can it be that she''s just feeling a little better before her death? Or that she wants to die in her


    homnd?"


    Melvin was dumbfounded for a long time before asking, "Is your tumor gone? Shouldn''t you be


    undergoing chemotherapy?"


    Susan smiled lightly and said, "It sounds like you are not hoping for me to get better."


    At that moment, Natalie had already stood up and obediently said, "Susan, please sit down here."


    Susan sat down in a chair and patted Natalie''s hand. "Don''t be afraid. If there are any problems, we will


    solve them one by one."


    After saying that, she nced at everyone''s faces. "I was unable to handle many things due to my


    illness, which led to a decline in business. It was my fault, and I am sorry. Fortunately, with the


    from Audale specifically to thank my colleagues in the fashion and beauty line for their hard work."


    After that, she specifically added, "No one can deny your achievements!"


    People in the fashion department, who had been crestfallen after Melvin''s criticism, suddenly had a


    cheerful look on their faces, almost cheering and jumping.


    They thought coincidentally, "In the fight within the senior management, we ordinary people are always


    the ones who suffer a lot.


    In the morning, as soon as I arrived at thepany, I was called into a meeting by the human


    resources manager. I was even criticized by Melvin, who has nothing to do with our department. How


    ridiculous!


    No wonder Ms. Quinn didn''t panic at all when she just came in.


    It turns out that she has someone backing her up!"


    Susan''s gaze fell on Melvin, and in front of so many people, she bluntly criticized him, "You caused


    such a big mess in the financial business, which almost broke the group''s capital chain. Therefore, you


    should repent and try your best to solve the problem, instead of making trouble again at such a critical


    moment and causing disharmony within the group."


    The sedimentation of time had made her elegant and gentle, but she was still a member of the Ramsey


    family.


    Gentleness and courtesy were just out of her cultivation.


    Melvin, however, was shameless. Even now, he still cheekily said, "The n to reduce the budget of


    the fashion department was proposed by Kendrick. He is busy dealing with the financial crisis now, and


    I just want to lighten his burden."


    Three months ago, the fashion department was in a mess.


    As a result, there was no problem with streamlining the budget and reducing expenses.


    Later, Seth put Natalie in this department to train her, so Kendrick took the opportunity to postpone the


    proposal. Otherwise, the budget and manpower would be reduced, and Natalie would be unable to do


    anything. In that case, she would not have been able to sign those anchors and beauty bloggers to


    promote the brands, nor would she have had so many colleagues to help her.


    Natalie had just learned about this.


    She finally understood why Seth would say that Kendrick had been pampering her with no bottom line


    or principles.


    Susan instructed in an earnest tone, "Everything should be treated dialectically. The n to cut the


    budget was proposed three months ago, and now things are different. Now, all the brands have


    exceeded their annual sales figures, and the entire department is also turning losses into profits. I will


    reconvene a board meeting to draw up a strategic n for next year. You are wee to attend the


    ss.


    "And, I want to know how the chairman allocated businesses. Why would you interfere in the business


    of the fashion department that has nothing to do with you? It seems that a new board meeting must be


    held as soon as possible to avoid anyone from being unable to distinguish his own rank and


    responsibilities."


    Her tone was gentle, but her attitude was clearly overbearing.


    The implication was that Melvin had no right to interfere in her business.


    Susan liked Kendrick because he had a great sense of propriety.


    "Get out. I don''t want to see you here!"


    Susan, who had maintained her elegant image, waved her hand impatiently at Melvin as she finished


    speaking.


    The next moment, a lot of more than 6.5-foot-tall bodyguards with sunsses and earphones rushed


    in, and they all stared at Melvin, which frightened him to get up from his chair in trepidation.


    Before leaving, Melvin gave Natalie a fierce look.


    ...


    The criticism meeting suddenly became amendation meeting.


    Susan came back specifically to celebrate the achievements of Natalie''s team and praise them for their


    outstanding performance.


    After the meeting, the two were left alone in the conference room.


    Susan looked at her kindly and said, "The business is settled, so let''s talk about something personal.


    Good girl, you saved my life."


    Life and death were foreordained.


    Therefore, Susan had already let it go.


    Unexpectedly, a miracle had actually happened to her.


    "Just tell me what you want to do, and I will do my best to help you."


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "Well, I do have something I want to do.


    I want to work at Ramsey Biomedicine.


    I want to engage in medical research and development.


    I will not be able to enter the operating room in the following six months, and production of the GM-1


    has been suspended globally. Therefore, why not take this opportunity to participate in medical


    research and development at Ramsey Biomedicine, where I most want to go?


    Kendrick still has a long way to go to fully recover, and the suspension of the GM-1 will definitely dy


    his subsequent treatment. As a result, I need to develop and produce new drugs for him as soon as


    possible.


    Besides, as one who has read so much, I naturally have a lofty ideal.


    I want to devote myself to the healthy development of human life."


    Natalie confided her thoughts to Susan, who was instantly stunned.


    She hadn''t expected Natalie to make such a request, which was not for her own benefit. After all,


    Ramsey Biomedicine was also in loss-making, with hundreds of millions invested in research and


    development every year but nothing in return.


    Susan couldn''t help but exim, "Nat, you really surprised me. I can''t judge you with ordinary thinking.


    It''s hard to imagine that you chose such a difficult and challenging project. I admire your courage."


    Hearing that, Natalie thought, "Actually, it''s not that difficult.


    Compared to being asked to have a child immediately, to maintain a good family rtionship, and to


    see people clearly, it''s much simpler."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Susan agreed to her request and suddenly remembered something else. She said in her heart, "Natalie


    has a heart issue, and my surgery wasplicated and time-consuming, requiring extremely high


    physical fitness.


    So in fact, it was extremely dangerous for her."


    Susan, who had been through many ups and downs, was quite moved at the moment. She couldn''t


    help but hug Natalie and thank her again for what she had done.


    Natalie patted her back and said, "You are the person in this family who loves Kendrick the most and


    cares very much about him as he grows up. Therefore, we both hope that you can be safe and


    healthy."


    "This girl is really much more mature and cleverer than her peers," Susan couldn''t help but think.


    Then she alsoforted Natalie, "Good girl, you must also take good care of yourself. You are still


    young, and there is a long way to go in the future!"


    Speaking of this, she asked, "Did Kendrick know that your flight to Audale was to perform surgery on


    me?"


    Natalie shook her head.


    She had not yet told him that.


    "You didn''t tell him?"

 Chapter 199 Kendrick Is Able to Walk

    Chapter 199 Kendrick Is Able to Walk


    Chapter 199 Kendrick Is Able to Walk


    Susan was a smart person, and she saw Natalie''s hesitating expression.


    She guessed that she was worried about something.


    Indeed, in that emergency situation, Natalie couldn''t say much.


    "Like me, you''re also someone who always quietly solves the problems behind the loved one''s back."


    Susan had also been in love with someone, so her eyes were slightly wet now, and she sighed softly,


    "I''ll tell him when the right timees, okay?"


    Then she thought, "Kendrick is really a lucky man.


    It''s really a blessing for him to have such a good wife.


    Natalie is clever, calm, and sensible.


    However, she''s also quite pitiful.


    I heard that her family is not good to her.


    I''ve read all the online attacks on her this time. It was all her parents'' fault, nothing to do with her. After


    all, she can''t choose her family but can only be forced to ept."


    Thinking of this, Susan couldn''t help but feel distressed and sorry for Natalie.


    She took Natalie''s hand and said, "If Kendrick dares to bully you in the future, call me immediately, and


    I''ll teach him a lesson for you!"


    Natalie lowered her eyes and smiled with her lips pursed. "Okay!"


    Susan felt that Natalie was really adorable and was very satisfied with her. She even began to consider


    giving Natalie a portion of her shares as her personal property to protect herself.


    "Kendrick looks obedient, but he doesn''t listen to anyone, except for me. He doesn''t even listen to his


    grandfather, and their temperaments are vastly different. However, they do like a grandpa and a


    grandson."


    Hearing this, Natalie remembered that Seth and Kendrick had been in a cold war since they had a


    conversation in the studyst time, and they were still ignoring each other now.


    Kendrick had been working overtime every day to handle the crisis of Ramsey Finance.


    ording to Edgar, Seth had been in a bad mood after returning home. He sat alone in the study for a


    long time, butter he still handed over the financial business to Kendrick.


    This time, Kendrick''s decision to leave the Ramsey Group really seemed to be a great blow to him.


    Seth was too embarrassed to ask Kendrick to stay, but he hadn''t rejected Kendrick for taking over the


    financial business.


    Natalie naturally couldn''t mediate the matter.


    She nced at Susan and felt that she hade back just in time.


    ...


    At night, Edgar reported as usual to Kendrick on Seth''s physical condition.


    There were no major problems, just minor ones.


    On cloudy and rainy days, there would be a faint pain in Seth''s heart.


    The imported heart-protecting drugs he took every day had inexplicably run out of stock recently.


    Kendrick told him he would find a way to get the drugs.


    Edgar sighed, "It''s all because he''s in a bad moodtely. What you said that day really dealt a big blow


    to Mr. Seth! Mr. Ramsey, please think about it again. After this financial business crisis, everyone


    knows that you''re indispensable to the Ramsey Group!"


    Kendrick did not ept his ttery.


    He was not impulsive.


    On the contrary, it was a decision that he had carefully considered.


    "Mr. Seth knows he was wrong this time, but you also know his temper well."


    Seth really didn''t want to admit his mistake.


    He would never be willing to do so.


    Suddenly, the bathroom door was opened.


    Natalie walked out of it while wiping her hair.


    Seeing that Kendrick was wearing Bluetooth headphones, she took the hair dryer and went into the


    bathroom to dry her hair beforeing out. Then she heard him instruct Edgar to take good care of


    Seth before hanging up.


    There was a deadlock between the two of them.


    It was something nobody had expected at the very beginning.


    However, they were bound by blood, so it was impossible for them topletely break off.


    Natalie lifted the nket andy down beside him. Then she said, "What about having another talk with


    Grandpa?"


    "There''s nothing to talk about."


    They had actually talked about everything that needed to be discussed, and Kendrick had spoken his


    mind directly and bluntly.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    However, Seth was very hesitant.


    He certainly didn''t want Kendrick to leave the Ramsey Group.


    However, due to his face, he didn''t give in to Kendrick.


    As a result, the two of them had been in a cold war for almost a week.


    It was the first time.


    The previous conflicts between them, which had been building up, finally broke out into a skirmish.


    Kendrick naturally refused topromise.


    After all, everyone could see that he had suffered great grievances from keeping a low profile in the


    Ramsey Group over the past few years.


    Natalie naturally couldn''t persuade him to be magnanimous. She could only gently help him relieve his


    psychological burden. "I was really angry when I saw the agreement that day, but soon I was moved by


    your words."


    She reached over and poked Kendrick''s nose. Meanwhile, she said, "Thank you for everything you''ve


    done for me. It''s already enough. If the standoff continues, there will be no way out. It happens that


    Susan is back. Therefore, what about making her the intermediary and talking to Grandpa again?


    "Recently, wherever in the Ramsey Group I go, everyone is talking about the same thing. Their words


    are full of admiration for your outstanding abilities, saying that every time there is an emergency crisis


    in the group, you are always able to handle it properly."


    It was true that everyone in the Ramsey Group admired Kendrick immensely.


    They even spontaneouslymented below the hot search to speak up for him.


    Kendrick was silent for a moment.


    "Okay." In the end, he agreed to Natalie''s suggestion.


    "You have to go to the Neurosurgery Center tomorrow. You''ve postponed the rehabilitation for a week,


    and you must go there tomorrow," reminded Natalie.


    Kendrick still needed two more doses of the GM-1.


    He had to take them within about a month.


    Owen was still in Cruxham now and said he would fly back within this week.


    However, they hadn''t been in touch yet.


    Kendrick was silent for a while and suddenly said, "If..."


    Kendrick was able to stand now, but he could not hold on long, nor could he walk with his feet. This


    made him feel frustrated, but he could only put this emotion aside. He didn''t want it to spread to Natalie


    and bring her a heavier burden.


    "This process is very difficult, and we cannot guarantee 100% that our efforts will definitely lead to a


    good result, but we have at least made some progress, right? I''m with you, so there is nothing to worry


    about."


    Hearing that, Kendrick was finally relieved.


    And all the frustration and uncertainty in his heart had dispersed.


    ...


    Kendrick spent another afternoon in training at the Neuromedical Center.


    It was winter.


    The temperature outside was below zero, but he was soaked in sweat indoors. Finally, he was able to


    stand still for a minute and take a small step with his walker.


    Brock excitedly said, "The small step you have taken is a big step for humanity."


    But for the strength of his arms, Kendrick would have fallen to the ground.


    "Why does he asionallye up with such words that seem appropriate but sound weird?" he


    couldn''t help but think.


    Kendrick had another round of training and stopped when reaching the extreme physical load.


    Compared to thest time, there had been progress.


    At least, he had taken a step.


    Therefore, he was one step closer to his goal.


    After taking a bath, Kendrick received a call from Nn saying that he had already got the result of the


    cause test.


    He asked Kendrick to rest assured, for it had nothing to do with gics. It was an acquired cause.


    The greatest possibility was that it was caused by excessive hypothermia at birth.


    In addition, the Gic Testing Center had also sent the encrypted DNA sequence to Kendrick.


    Nn was a PhD in cardiology and did not understand bases and chromosomes.


    Kendrick opened the document and looked at it.


    Then he saw that a section of theplex graph was marked.


    This proved that the DNA was significantly duplicated.


    Kendrick nced at its sequence encoding.


    Then he frowned and thought, "Why do I seem to have seen it somewhere before?"

 Chapter 200 Natalie Is Confused

    Chapter 200 Natalie Is Confused


    Chapter 200 Natalie Is Confused


    Rnd was elected president four years ago.


    Kendrick''s consultingpany was responsible for monitoring public opinion at that time.


    He obtained a document that was highly encrypted.


    After deciphering it, he found that it was only a missing part, and the document''s name was Operation


    Genesis.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    The document contained a variety ofplex human genes, which had been recorded for a long time,


    almost 20 years.


    There was a special gene sequence that only existed in women, specificallybeled as the outstanding


    genius gene, which was named "Frigg".


    Frigg was a mythical queen of heaven who had the ability to predict and know the future.


    But soon, this document was automatically destroyed.


    The authenticity could not be investigated as the source could not be found and the recorded contents


    had no antecedents or consequences. As a result, Kendrick ignored it, but he was impressed by that


    special gene sequence.


    And the genius gene, known as "Frigg", had a sequence that was extremely simr to what Natalie''s


    test report showed.


    For too long and without any archives topare, Kendrick was not sure whether the gene on


    Natalie''s report was the "Frigg" recorded in the document he had deciphered back then, which was an


    outstanding gene that only existed in women.


    Kendrick vaguely remembered the long-held secret rumor that the Williamson family adopted children


    with unique talents and genes and trained them for their own use. Of course, this was just a rumor with


    no concrete evidence.


    It could be rumors from Rnd''s rivals.


    Seeing Kendrick''s stern expression, Brock asked, "Mr. Ramsey, are you alright? Is there anything


    wrong with your waist again?"


    Kendrick remained silent for a while and suddenly said, "Sort out a family rtionship diagram of the


    Williamson family for me."


    Brock was surprised at Kendrick''s jumping thoughts, but he nodded at once.


    Kendrick frowned and opened Natalie''s gic test report again.


    He quickly calmed down and thought, "If not, then I may have remembered it wrong, and that''s okay.


    If so, then someone must have been working on this gene a long time ago.


    But why?"


    Kendrick pondered for a long time before informing the Gic Testing Center to destroy all the


    samples and test data of Natalie.


    ...


    Natalie breathed a long sigh of relief when she learned that her physical problems had nothing to do


    with gics and were simply caused by her unhealthy lifestyle. Even the chicken thigh in her hand


    suddenly seemed more delicious.


    However, Kendrick was still frowning.


    "Is there anything bothering you?" Natalie put down her fork and asked.


    She thought, "Is he still worried about the financial crisis?


    There have been many incidentstely, and we are almost caught off guard.


    Fortunately, everything is slowly being resolved now."


    Kendrick suddenly remembered something and said, "Reuben has already been prosecuted."


    Reuben broke financial rules by defrauding investors of their money.


    The charges were confirmed, and he would have to spend almost the rest of his life in prison.


    Natalie didn''t like him at all.


    She even frowned slightly at the name.


    Reuben had defected to Melvin with the aim of alienating Kendrick and Natalie. Once the two got


    divorced, he would definitely make Natalie suffer. However, what he had not expected was that even


    under such heavy pressure, Kendrick still chose to protect Natalie.


    "Just let thew judge him!" Natalie shook her head. "He thought he could turn around by joining your


    uncle. He''s really a bit naive." Speaking of this, she became happy and vividly described how Susan


    had reprimanded Melvin in the conference room that day.


    "Unfortunately, there were too many people in the conference room at that time, or I would have..."


    She continued in her heart, "I would have wrapped him in a linen bag and beat him up.


    He is really disgusting and annoying.


    He''s nothing but a waste who can only sow discord and cause trouble."


    Thinking of this, Natalie muttered, "Can we send him to prison as well? He left the conference room


    very reluctantly and even gave me a fierce re."


    Kendrick frowned and said, "There is not enough evidence to send him in yet, but I will definitely make


    him pay for the great trouble he has caused this time."


    There would be a regr board meeting next week.


    With Susan''s assistance and support, Melvin would directly be dismissed and kicked out.


    "Don''t be afraid of him. He''s outwardly strong but inwardly weak. I will have Brock arrange for some


    bodyguards to protect you,"forted Kendrick.


    "I''m not afraid of him." Natalie raised her head proudly. "By the way, when will you teach me about


    marksmanship, Mr. Ramsey?"


    "How about after we finish handling this crisis?"


    Natalie nodded repeatedly. Then she ced a piece of beef steak on Kendrick''s te and said, "You


    must have been exhausted from training today. Have more meat."


    ...


    Since the two lived in the same room, Kendrick''s toiletries were all moved over. Natalie even reced


    the electric toothbrushes and cups with lovers'' ones and ced them on the washstand.


    She couldn''t help but take a photo and post it on her TimeLine.


    She had meant to show how sweet her rtionship with Kendrick was.


    Unexpectedly, thements below were all about how luxurious her bathroom was, even bigger than


    their bedrooms.


    Natalie had made many good, like-minded friends through her own efforts in this world.


    Standing in front of the mirror, Natalie felt in a daze that she was gradually merging with this body.


    It was like seeing another self through parallel spacetime.


    "No matter where I am, I must be optimistic and live each day well," she said to herself.


    After the shower, she had a look at the time. She was then ready to ask Kendrick to take a shower and


    apply ointment for him. She got the bath water ready for him and went to the study to look for him.


    Kendrick was reading in the study.


    Natalie knocked at the door and went in. "Go take a bath, and then I''ll apply ointment for you." She


    drew near to see that he had in his hand a volume of Mythology, on the page of which was an


    illustration of Frigg, the Queen of Heaven.


    She looked graceful and charming in the illustration.


    Seeing that, Natalie couldn''t help but think, "What is he doing?


    How could he be so immersed in an illustration?"


    Natalie snorted and held out her hand to block it. "Is she pretty?"


    Kendrick withdrew his gaze and said, "I just turned to this page casually."


    He obediently closed the book and went back to the bedroom for a bath.


    Natalie pushed him into the bathroom and was about to take off his clothes. She also wanted to help


    him take a bath. After all, they were living together now, and she could not be so shy all the time.


    Therefore, she decided to face what she couldn''t avoid.


    However, Kendrick refused her help.


    He said, "No, I''ll do it myself."


    His refusal was very straightforward.


    It was just like his refusal against her when they had first met.


    "What?" Natalie was surprised.


    She thought, "Is he still shy?


    But...


    He has already asked me to help him with that! I have touched his body, though I have not looked at it


    closely.


    Moreover, he usually takes the initiative to kiss me.


    He has tried to kiss me at every opportunity, even between sips of water.


    Why is he suddenly so indifferent today?


    Is there anything he doesn''t want me to see?"


    With that in mind, Natalie asked in hesitation, "Can you do it yourself?"


    Kendrick nodded.


    "Alright then." Natalie didn''t force him. "If you need any help, just call my name. I''ll go prepare the hot


    After Natalie went out, Kendrick took off his clothes. His arms and thighs were bruised, and there was a


    <prge bruise on his waist, which had solidified into a hard lump and looked rather shocking.
