Chapter 26 Sitting on His Lap
Natalie was giving herself a needle.
Natalie's master Easton Wright shared his experience with his disciples after treating the president's legs. The first step was to stimulate the nerves in the patient's legs with ancient acupuncture to restore part of their stress ability.
Ancient acupuncture had been slowly lost.
But fortunately, there were still people who had passed on these traditions.
Natalie specialized in modern medicine, but she also knew the broadness and profoundness of traditional medicine. So she begged her master Easton to teach her acupuncture.
With Natalie's fingers quickly touching her thigh, she burned the tip of the needle on the alcohol lamp and punctured it at the acupuncture point.
"Hiss..." Natalie gritted her teeth, the pain in her thigh here was intense and the nerves reacted violently.
Natalie marked this place with a red dot, took out a tissue, and quickly wiped off the overflowing blood spots.
There was a knock on the door.
Natalie was so startled that she almost knocked over the alcohol lamp.
Immediately, Natalie covered the alcohol cap and packed the needles, but accidentally made the book fall on the ground.
Then Natalie heard a loud bang.
The door was pushed open.
Natalie hastily covered herself with a quilt.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I'm going to sleep right away!"
"Why are your eyes so red?"
"I..." Natalie thought about how to answer this question quickly, then she suddenly sniffed, and her voice choked up, "I'm reading a novel. It's very moving."
Natalie kept her wits about her, which made Kendrick think that she was clever.
Kendrick thought Natalie deserved an Oscar.
Kendrick's eyes narrowed slightly and suspiciously because he smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the air.
Natalie hurriedly asked Kendrick, "Why didn't you sleep? Did you come to see if I was asleep?"
Kendrick said nothing because he did not want to be entangled by Natalie, so he looked down and said calmly, "Have an early night!"
"Sure."
After Kendrick went out, Natalie's heart which was about to jump out slowly calmed down.
Natalie would not bring this up with Kendrick at this time if she was not completely sure, because she did not want to arouse more suspicion or give him hope but disappoint him.
There was a burst of numbness and pain in Natalie's knee.
Her knee showed an obvious pain reaction.
It also matched what Easton had said before.
Then, in the diagnosis and treatment plan, more stimulation could be added to this acupuncture point.
---
Natalie woke up the next day with both numb legs.
The moment Natalie got up, she directly knelt on the bed.
Previously, Natalie could experiment on white mice.
However, Natalie had to experiment on herself at this time as she was the white mouse.
Natalie would perform the acupuncture on herself, and she was afraid that she would have to test the medicine on herself again in a short time.
Natalie propped herself up on her two legs after washing and stood at the top of the stairs, but almost fell off. She carefully held on to the handrail before walking downstairs.
"Ashlynn, come and help me, hurry up!"
Ashlynn hurried over.
"What happened to your leg?"
Someone's voice came from the side.
Kendrick did not leave, he was still at home.
Natalie turned her face away, looking surprised.
Kendrick's eyes rested on Natalie's leg.
"It's numb," Natalie coughed.
Natalie was lying with a guilty disguise.
Ashlynn helped Natalie to sit down and carefully asked her if she was okay.
Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just a little numb from squatting for a long time, and I just need rest for a while." She turned to Kendrick and asked, "Aren't you going to work?"
Natalie's eyes were full of red blood.
"No."
When Natalie said this, her hand rested on her lap unconsciously.
It seemed that Natalie was refusing to tell Kendrick the truth.
"What's troubling you?" Kendrick stared at Natalie.
"Head!" Natalie answered directly.
"Ashlynn," Kendrick shouted, "Madam said she was dizzy, bring her some medicine."
"OK," Ashlynn replied.
Kendrick personally poured a glass of water, opened the pill, and handed it to Natalie's lips, saying, "Take it, and then you'll feel better."
Natalie whimpered twice and frowned, "Must I take the pill?"
"Or I'll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.
Kendrick's gentleness and affability were all appearances, Natalie thought.
Kendrick was sharp and strong.
It was no problem for Natalie to take the pill. She just thought it tasted a bit bitter.
"I'll take it."
Natalie quickly took the pill from Kendrick's hand and stuffed it into her mouth. After tasting the bitter taste of it, she wrinkled her face with bitterness.
A glass of water was handed to Natalie.
Natalie raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp.
"Have a good rest today. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.
"Okay," Natalie said obediently, "I'll go upstairs to rest!"
After getting Kendrick's consent, Natalie walked past him with big strides, pretending to be calm and brisk, and gave him a big smile.
After Natalie left, Kendrick asked Ashlynn, "What has Natalie been doing recently?"
"Madam has been writing plans and reading in the study recently. She bought a lot of books which I can't understand the titles of them. They seem to be medical books." Ashlynn thought about it and said, "She also asked me to learn how to cook, saying..."
Ashlynn remained silent for a while.
Kendrick caught the information in Ashlynn's words in time and asked, "Medical books?"
Ashlynn nodded, and praised Natalie in a hurry, "Madam is very smart. She can understand the contents of the book after reading it once. The last time when I had an allergy on my face, she said that I was dehydrated, and she gave me an ointment to apply. With this ointment, I get well soon. It's amazing."
Hearing this, Kendrick's face darkened.
