Chapter 172 Marriage Letter
Kendrick was restrained and sensible. Although he was eager to kiss and hug her, he did not want to infect her.
He even wanted to let her sleep in another room but couldn't go against his heart. He was like a child attracted to candy who knew it would harm his teeth.
Countless complicated thoughts popped into his mind, but he suppressed them and only tenderly hugged her.
Natalie held his face with both hands and pecked his forehead.
After a silence, he suddenly said, "The temperature in Audale is low. Take more thick clothes."
After a pause, he added, "If the doctors can't save her, don't be too sad. God decides it."
After a certain age, the so-called life was just a process of dying. The precious things in life would slip out of people's hands one after another. There was nothing more painful than loss because loss meant irreparable.
Even though there was little hope, Natalie would do her best to compete with the god of death for Susan's life. When she had first become a doctor, she vowed to try her best to save people.
She rested her head in his arms. His body temperature was a bit high due to the cold. When he occasionally coughed, his chest vibrated. So, she reached out to slowly pat his chest to help him breathe.
She was not patient or gentle and did not have a good temper. But she was changing because of him.
"Okay, I'll discuss her condition with you when I arrive."
Although she had said so, she believed she could save Susan.
Suddenly, she thought of one thing and said, "By the way, Melvin said Reuben went to meet him and even cried."
This matter sounded absurd. And she wondered how these two people had colluded with each other.
The thing was not complicated.
Kendrick hated deceit and betrayal and was not broad-minded. Reuben had played dirty tricks behind his back many times, so he had set a trap for the former.
Reuben was not smart. Compared with Kendrick, he was like a fool. He had jumped into the trap with all his property and gotten in trouble. The capital chain had ruptured, but no one was willing to help. So, he was debt-ridden and would spend the rest of his life paying off debts.
He should not have offended Mr. Ramsey.
These tricks were not glorious, so Kendrick understated them, unwilling to let Natalie know too much of his dark side. He just told her Reuben had failed to raise funds and would declare bankruptcy.
However, Natalie paid all her attention to Reuben and disdainfully said, "He is indeed ordinary but confident. He is not a stock. Why did he think people would be willing to invest in him?"
Then, she lowered her voice and murmured, "Some people are born suckers!"
Her words amused Kendrick. And his laughter caused a fit of violent cough.
Natalie hurriedly patted his chest and reminded him, saying, "You must be careful. Those two insidious may gang up against you."
Kendrick held her finger and lightly kissed it, saying, "I will."
--
Kendrick quickly contacted the people in Audale, saying Natalie would visit Susan.
Susan had said in a daze she wanted a bottle of soil from her hometown. She had been wandering abroad for many years. Back then, she had left home in a fit of anger. Now, she could no longer return. But she still missed her hometown and family.
Kendrick and Natalie deliberately went to the place where Susan had lived in childhood. They gathered a bottle of soil near the Ramsey family's ancestral temple and sealed it.
The Ramsey family had a history of more than one hundred years, so the ancestral temple was splendid.
Sure enough, there were their iconic Ginkgo family emblems carved into the beams and pillars.
