Chapter 91 He Was Lectured by Her
Natalie and Owen made an appointment to meet at the Neurological Medical Center.
Such an important meeting shouldn't be conducted in a small cafe.
When Owen arrived, Natalie was already sitting on the first floor of the center waiting for him.
He was surprised. Is Mrs. Ramsey coming to get the test report again today?
"Mr. Ramsey's laboratory report has been compiled into an electronic file. You don't need to come here in person." Owen said politely.
Natalie looked up at him, and stretched out her hand, "Sit down, please. I ordered a glass of lemonade for you."
They would never drink coffee unless they stayed up late to publish articles.
Owen sat down.
He thought she had some questions. But Natalie didn't speak for a long while.
Owen glanced at the time and sounded very apologetic, "Mrs. Ramsey, I have an appointment with someone today. Excuse me. If you have any questions about Mr. Ramsey's diagnosis and treatment, I will answer some of them now."
Natalie sipped her lemonade through a straw.
She looked up and said to him, "Didn't you ask me to meet?"
Owen looked confused.
He didn't ask her out. Was his assistant's schedule wrong?
Owen looked down at the phone schedule. There was a new email in the mailbox, "I'm right across from you."
Owen raised his face and looked to the opposite side. There was no one!
He looked down at the phone to make sure it was Mr. Q's message.
But there was only Natalie on the opposite side.
He looked up again and his expression changed instantly.
He suddenly realized something and froze in place.
No way!
Natalie shrugged and said, "Are you very surprised to see Mr. Q?"
Owen was stunned.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's me." Natalie said, "Mr. Q you have been emailing."
Owen was completely stunned. He took a sip of the lemonade in front of him, and finally relaxed after putting it down, "Mrs. Ramsey, it's you?"
He paused for a long time, "Have you been joking with me all this time?"
"No." Natalie said sternly, "As you know, I couldn't come forward for some reason. I originally thought that you would perform the early-stage adjuvant treatment and I would only need to complete the mid-term spinal cord surgery. But now the situation has changed.."
Natalie handed the diagnosis and treatment records to Owen and said, "The results show that his nerve cells are showing signs of rejuvenation. The diagnosis and treatment must not be interrupted. I will participate in the early and mid-term. You can cooperate with me at ease."
Her tone was familiar and aggressive.
It was indeed Mr. Q!
Owen took another sip of lemonade and almost choked himself.
It took him a full twenty minutes to calm himself down.
"So, what do you need me to do?"
"Tell Kendrick that Prof. Murphy quits, and you will do the needles later."
Owen was surprised.
"This is just an excuse." Natalie said, "I will personally do acupuncture for him."
Owen was stunned.
At this moment, he felt like being on a roller coaster and he couldn't describe his feelings.
It took him a while to hear his voice, "Well, you're going to hide it from Mr. Ramsey?"
Natalie was silent.
"I still don't understand." Owen's voice was softer.
It was a non-professional question. He would probably be scolded if he asked.
But Natalie looked solemn. Maybe she didn't think herself.
"Maybe we can only hide it for a while." Owen calmed himself down and said, "Mr. Ramsey...has been checking my background."
Natalie looked up, stunned.
"I think the last data analysis probably aroused his suspicion. He is a cautious person." Owen said, "I can stand the investigation and there is no falsehood. I have recently started to learn statistical analysis by myself."
Awesome! Natalie was impressed by Owen.
"I'm just reminding you that Mr. Ramsey may eventually find out." Owen said, "Besides, do you want to be the daughter of the sea?"
In the fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", the little mermaid rescues the prince, but the prince mistakenly thinks that the princess of the neighboring country has saved him.
Natalie had a subtle expression, and she joked, "Then you are the princess?"
Owen looked speechless, "I don't think so."
Natalie pursed her lips, "Now is not the time. I will make it clear to him after the surgery is completed and he regains his ability to move."
It was too early now. He wasn't prepared for it.
Firstly, she didn't want to be sent to a mental hospital. Secondly, she didn't want to be arrested by those from the Institute of Quantum Physics for research. Thirdly, she didn't want to affect his emotions if the operation didn't succeed.
"We have a long-term cooperative relationship. So let me make it clear first. If I start acting emotionally during the treatment, please stop me!" Natalie said earnestly.
She didn't want to get involved too early because she was afraid that her feelings for Kendrick would affect the outcome.
She was not rational all the time. Yesterday when he went into a coma, she forcibly suppressed her anger and did not flare up.
Owen nodded in agreement
At this moment, he had incomparable confidence. He was going to climb to the top of medicine with his colleague Mr. Q!
Natalie stood up, "By the way, the experimental steps in the paper you published last year can be further optimized so that the recovery time of the mice will be shorter and the pain will be reduced. I will teach you the details."
Owen said, "Please enlighten me!"
Kendrick soon learned that Prof. Murphy had quit and that Owen would replace him.
He looked unhappy, "Dr. Gentry is good at neurosurgery. When did he learn acupuncture? He said in the last meeting that he is just proficient in theory."
Natalie said with a calm face, "Dr. Gentry is a student of Prof. Murphy, so it's not surprising that he knows some acupuncture skills. I think he was just being humble in front of his teacher."
Kendrick turned to look at her.
Natalie looked at him too.
She didn't back down. No matter how you look at me, this was what I said.
Kendrick and she looked at each other. Then he looked away, and asked again, "Why am I going to be blindfolded?"
"Look, it's written here." Natalie pointed to the updated plan and said, "It is to prevent intuitive contact from affecting your mentality. It is a kind of humanistic care."
"I'm not that vulnerable!" Kendrick said confidently, "This reason is not valid."
It couldn't convince him.
Natalie squinted. Why does he have so many questions? Is he a doctor?
"The doctor said so. You should just follow it!" Natalie persuaded patiently.
"Doctors aren't always right, and I'm justified in debating."
Kendrick was not easy to fool.
Natalie took a deep breath. She was pissed off!
"If Dr. Gentry can't give a reasonable explanation, I can't follow it," Kendrick said coldly.
"Why do you have so many questions?" Natalie was a little anxious, "The doctor said that he was doing it out of humanistic considerations. Facing one's scars is a painful thing in itself. No matter how strong and brave a person is, his mood will change after facing it many times. Why don't you just listen to the doctor?"
After she finished it in one breath, she stopped to catch her breath.
Kendrick froze.
He realized that he had been reprimanded by her.
He was lectured by her!
