My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me (Natalie)

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 place. 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 eyelashes drooping slightly.

As the physiotherapist turned, he caught a glimpse of Natalie standing there out of the corner of his eye.

His black 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 more complicated 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 collarbone along his clear jawline. His face was pale as paper. His eyebrows were black 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 eyelashes.

"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 uncomfortable.

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 training later. 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 and comfort 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 unpalatable. Natalie was not a picky person. She gave Kendrick the boiled beef on her plate 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 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 simply complained, "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."
