Chapter 142 Girls Like Sweet Words
The pain in his wound was burning, and his nerves were constantly on edge.
Kendrick's brain was befogged, and he seemed to be in a dream. His body was light, and a thick fog surrounded him. He stood there and saw a light in the distance.
He made an attempt to lift his legs and found he could walk, so he immediately headed toward the light.
He reached a place where the dark ended and the light began.
A girl was standing there.
"Kendrick!"
She called out.
He ran over and smelled her fragrance of orange blossom and rose. That was the fresh scent of her favorite body wash.
It was Natalie. She came from the light and stretched her hand at him. "Don't stand there."
She turned around.
He hastily grabbed her hand and said, "Don't go."
She looked back at him and smiled. "I'm not leaving you." She held his hand tightly and said, "I'll take you to the light. It's too dark here."
"Okay."
"I can walk now."
The girl who held his hand smiled brightly. "Of course, I know."
The road seemed endless.
But she walked with him, hand in hand.
...
Natalie held Kendrick's hand and said repeatedly, "I'm not leaving you." Slowly, he calmed down.
He hadn't woken up completely.
He seemed to be lost in a dream.
But he held Natalie's hand tightly and wouldn't let go of it.
When Owen checked on the wound, Kendrick wouldn't loosen his grip.
Owen was speechless. He beckoned Natalie to pacify Kendrick.
Natalie wiped Kendrick's face with a towel and whispered in his ear that the doctor had come to check on his wound.
She coaxed him for a good while.
Kendrick got sober and released Natalie's hand.
After Owen checked on the wound, he said, "There is no infection or bleeding for the moment." He lowered his voice and praised, "The wound was sewed well."
Natalie was not proud. "It was a normal operation."
Owen was speechless.
"It's better than I imagined." Owen said seriously, "There hasn't been any immune response to the stem cell transplantation. After his wound heals, we'll test his reactive potency."
Natalie asked, "Are you sure that GM-1 will arrive tonight?"
"Yes." Owen said, "But I only learned about it before, so I don't have any clinical experiences."
Natalie soothed him. "Don't worry about that."
Owen looked at her in surprise and muttered, "You're an emissary from the M78 Nebula. Could you please tell me how you know about all this?"
Natalie pressed her lips and said, "I'll tell you when the opportunity arises."
Owen didn't press her. "Okay."
He glanced at the clock and said, "It's almost time. Let's go."
...
Brynn asked Owen to meet her at nine o'clock at night.
They were going to meet in a secluded coffee shop.
Natalie drove Owen to the coffee shop.
She kept her promise.
She didn't ask him who brought the medicine.
After all, it was a secret.
After she parked the car, Natalie said, "I'll wait for you in the car."
"I'll be back soon."
"Please convey my gratitude to your friend. If she needs my help in the future, I'll try my best."
"Okay. I'll tell her that."
Owen got out of the car and entered the coffee shop.
The coffee shop would be closed at ten o'clock.
They were the last customers.
When Owen entered the coffee shop, a wooden sign that wrote Closed was hung on the doorknob.
