Natalie was in a daze.
Before Natalie came back to her senses and said thanks, the woman handed the umbrella to Natalie
and got in the black car that came to pick her up.
Natalie held the umbrella 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 umbrella and started the car.
She thought of the face of the woman who gave her the umbrella 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 become 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 become 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 years later."
It was complicated.
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
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 planned to sleep on the sofa.
But she was too sleepy. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
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 blankly. "Are you awake?"
"I've just woken up."
Kendrick's voice was dry and hoarse, but he was articulate.
Natalie sat by his bed and put his hand on her face, feeling the warmth of his palm. She stifled the
mixture of complicated feelings and said, "Dr. Gentry said the surgery was successful. 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 angular.
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 to come."
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 successful.
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 glanced 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 glass 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 flame, 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 glass 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 accuracy 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 he comforted himself too.
