Chapter 139 Kendrick's Surgery Has Started
"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. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Twenty minutes later, 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 place with the
radiator, making her sit down. "I'll fetch a glass of hot water for you."
After a while, Saul came back with a glass 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 splash cold water all over her and lock her up to enjoy the air-conditioning for a whole
night."
The hot water in the glass spilled out when she slapped the table.
Saul edged away from her.
He asked hesitantly, "Did you offend anyone in the company?"
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'll come 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 this later." Natalie said pleadingly, "We have
come to this stage and can't waste all our previous effort. Didn't you say we would reach the height of
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 even comforted Natalie and asked her not to be nervous.
He said with composure, "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 outcome, 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 explained, "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 dilated, and he had lost his consciousness.
