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 calculated 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 the company?"
She now felt that Kendrick had been with her more than staying at the company.
"No," he said.
He had just finished speaking when his mobile phone rang.
Kendrick said in a flat tone, "I'm not in the company. 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 planned 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 on communication, and now it was finally yielding some results.
The video meeting lasted for about an hour.
Kendrick looked a bit gloomy after the meeting.
Natalie speculated 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 started late, it has a solid foundation and a large reserve of talents. Coupled with policy support, the outlook is particularly broad. Additionally, you must trust your own vision."
Natalie restrained her usual playfulness 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 accepted her flattery.
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 beautiful language 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 overcome 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 dollars 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 dollars?"
"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.
Before leaving, he gently kissed her forehead and said, "Stay here obediently, and I'll come to pick you up at night."
Natalie nodded obediently, but in fact, she was thinking about how to get out of the hospital later.
She sent a message to Owen saying she would be there later.
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 had come 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 clasped her hands. "Please, I really have something urgent to do. I'll come 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 I come back, okay?"
The nurse didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I'll explain 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 delayed.
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 glanced at the scar and said, "If the healing speed is too fast, the pain will also increase!"
He thought, "I speculate 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 too late.
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.
