Chapter 137 Do You Like Children
Kendrick just finished the test in the morning.
He was extremely uncomfortable, leaning against the head of the bed with a depressed look.
Owen was talking to Kendrick about the operation.
Seeing that Kendrick didn't respond, Owen said, "Have a good rest."
Actually, such a patient was quite reassuring.
He didn't have much of his own thoughts during the treatment.
Besides, he basically followed the advice of professional doctors.
Getting along with Kendrick this month blew Owen's mind and changed Owen's previous cognition of Kendrick.
Although Kendrick was occasionally arrogant and naive, most of the time he was gentle and rational.
"Wait." Kendrick stopped Owen and said, "I have a few questions."
"Go ahead."
"What are the chances of me standing up again?"
"Eighty percent," said Owen.
It was Owen's conservative estimate.
Natalie had even told Owen that it could be ninety percent.
However, Owen didn't dare to tell Kendrick the truth.
After all, there was no precedent for such a kind of surgery.
Kendrick smiled.
He had never asked this before. He just passively accepted everything.
Now, Natalie was not here, so Kendrick simply asked Owen about it.
"Eighty percent." Kendrick repeated it and then continued, "There was no precedent for reference before." Kendrick looked up at Owen.
Owen was nervous because of Kendrick's gaze.
"Collagen scaffold bypass graft guides nerve cell regeneration. Is this the surgical plan you proposed?"
"Yes."
Kendrick continued, "But you haven't studied any subject related to it before."
This idea was completely ahead of the way that no one had ever tried in this era.
Kendrick wondered how Owen came up with the idea.
"It's feasible," Owen explained the medical principles to Kendrick.
"I'm not questioning your professional ability." Kendrick continued, "I just think that there is a missing link in the chain."
Owen couldn't get a reasonable explanation for a while.
"My wife trusts you." Kendrick paused and added, "Certainly, I trust you too."
Owen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
When Natalie entered the ward holding flowers, she happened to see Owen coming out.
Owen wanted to say something but then hesitated. Finally, he just looked at Natalie and gave a hint to her.
Natalie was confused.
She couldn't understand what Owen meant at all!
Looking at Owen's downcast look, Natalie wondered if Kendrick embarrassed Owen again.
Natalie opened the door of the ward and put flowers in the vase. Then she said, "When I came in just now, I ran into Dr. Gentry. His expression is difficult to describe."
Natalie thought, "His expression is like my expression on that day when I was asked several sharp questions in the meeting room."
Kendrick replied directly, "I asked him a few questions."
Natalie wondered what questions could make Owen so frustrated.
Natalie asked, "What did you ask?"
"About the operation." Kendrick smiled and changed the subject, "Why are you back so early?"
"I simply had one meeting and arranged work. Nothing serious."
Kendrick frowned suddenly and subconsciously bent down to cover his stomach.
"What's the matter?"
"It's okay." Kendrick shook his head, straightened up for a few seconds, and then continued to annotate the documents.
Natalie looked at Kendrick's pale face and said with concern, "Take a break. Stop reading the documents."
Work was endless.
In the name of a business trip and leaving, Kendrick only had ten days off.
There must be many people who watched Kendrick like a hawk just because he was in charge of the company.
Natalie nodded shyly.
Kendrick directly held Natalie in his arms and straightened up slightly. Then he teasingly asked in a low voice in her ears, "Tell me. Is it harder compared to my thing that night in the study?"
Natalie was confused.
That night? In the study?
Kendrick held Natalie's hand and helped her recall.
Natalie instantly blushed.
She wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words. Then she picked up the pillow and slammed it on Kendrick's face.
Natalie stuffed the documents into Kendrick's hand. Pretending to be fierce, she said, "Just read your documents. Work hard and don't slack off!"
Natalie thought, "It's still working time."
"Everyone is working hard."
"Only Kendrick is so idle that he actually has time to come on to me!"
"I must stop this kind of bad behavior in time."
Kendrick was speechless.
Natalie stood up and drank a cup of water to calm down. She came over with the cup and said, "I met Melvin in the parking lot of Ramsey Industrial Park today."
Kendrick raised his eyes and asked, "Did he do anything to you?"
"He blocked my way. I pretended to see Brock and called him, and it scared Melvin." Natalie continued, "Last time Grandpa beat him up, so he was afraid of me. Don't worry. I will still be careful not to have a head-on confrontation with him."
"What has he been doing lately?" Natalie frowned and said, "Today is the first time I've seen him in Ramsey Group. I think he's healed."
Kendrick raised his eyes and replied, "He is busy having a baby by IVF."
Natalie was speechless.
"Does he want a child?"
"Yes, he specifically said that he wanted a boy," Kendrick replied contemptuously.
Natalie was shocked and thought, "Does Melvin think that he could turn the table just by a child?"
"Does he want to make a comeback count on the child?"
"Yes, but..." Kendrick said coldly, "I won't let him succeed!"
Natalie sighed, "The child is so pitiful. He knows nothing when he's born, and he can't make any choice. He is forced to accept his destiny and is used as a cat's paw."
Kendrick gazed at Natalie and thought of something. He suddenly asked, "Do you like children?"
