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 as last 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 accordance with Cayden's instructions unhurriedly.
Once, Kendrick was hesitant and uneasy, worrying about the outcome.
Natalie's endless dedication and tolerance gave Kendrick a great sense of security. That day, when
Natalie lay 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 unilaterally 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 related to Natalie. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
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 back later."
...
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 glance, 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.
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 dinner later, 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 blades.
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 and lay on Kendrick's lap, 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 uncomfortable, 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 biopharmaceutical company 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 dilate the aorta blood vessels and relieve heart discomfort, which was the
medicine Natalie needed very much now.
Owen's voice sounded quite excited, but Natalie had mixed feelings.
