Owen thought carefully but could not recommend a suitable candidate to Natalie.
He said, "Prof. Murphy is the best Hamgrad acupuncture doctor. So, his withdrawal will have a great
influence on others."
He didn't say anything more but stared at her. However, she instantly got what he meant.
If the cleverest student in a class said a math problem was so difficult that he could not work it out. His
classmates would suspect whether they could solve it. Moreover, even if they solved it, they would
offend people.
"Do you have his address?" Natalie asked.
She wanted to see whether he was injured with her own eyes.
Seeing her murderous look, Owen hesitated to speak.
Natalie coughed and said, "I just want to visit the patient."
Owen did not buy her story, so she continued, "The treatment has started. It must not be suspended.
Dr. Gentry, it is time for you to save the situation!"
Owen felt stressed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He considered for a while and slowly said, "Actually, I have a candidate in my mind."
Natalie raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who?"
Owen roughly said he knew a doctor named Mr. Q who was quite accomplished in acupuncture and
comprehensive spinal nerve treatment. And Mr. Q had even given some suggestions on Kendrick's
treatment plan.
But he didn't reveal much personal information because Mr. Q was unwilling to let others know.
Natalie was speechless.
"He has always cared about Mr. Ramsey's condition but cannot take up the treatment in person for
personal reasons."
Owen frowned and said in admiration, "Although I have only exchanged emails with him, I am sure his
medical skills are higher than mine."
Natalie remained silent.
"If he comes, the treatment will go on more smoothly."
She thanked him for complimenting her in her heart and asked, "Have you asked him about it?"
Owen honestly answered, "If I ask him questions unrelated to medicine, he will get angry."
Natalie thought she had never gotten angry with him. But sometimes, he was indeed a little annoying.
She stood in place and touched her chin while thinking.
After Glenn quit, they could not find a more suitable candidate now. Owen was not proficient in
acupuncture. So, it was inappropriate to let him do it.
Had fate chosen her?
Natalie lightly sighed. She had planned to control the direction of the pre-adjuvant treatment and
perform only the spinal surgery on Kendrick.
But now...
"What kind of person is Mr. Q? Do you know him well?" Natalie asked.
Owen replied, "His medical skills were high, but it's hard to communicate with him. I'm not sure if I can
persuade him in."
She nodded, "I see."
He asked, "Will you explain it to Mr. Ramsey?"
She shook her head, "I won't tell him about it until you confirm it."
He nodded, "OK."

When Natalie walked back to the ward, her footsteps became heavier. She showed a gloomy face and
curled her lips downward.
But when pushing open the door, she put on a smile because smiles could heal people.
"I bought a lot of fruits and distributed them to the doctors and nurses. They are happy."
Natalie put the fruit on the coffee table and said, "I will peel an apple for you."
Kendrick was watching TV on the hospital bed when he said, "Thank you."
Natalie never let go of any chance to act coquettishly, so she moved her hand in front of his eyes and
said, "Look! The bag was too heavy, so it left a red mark on my hand."
Kendrick held her hand and lightly rubbed it with his thumb, making her feel slightly itchy in her palm.
Then, he softly asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." She smiled, "Continue watching TV. I'll peel an apple."
If he continued rubbing her hand, she might not have the strength to peel the apple anymore.
It was evening news time.
While peeling the apple, she watched the news with him.
On the screen, Ryland, the President of Hamgrad, was attending a summit.
Natalie noticed he had a bad cervical spine at a glance. Anyway, most middle-aged men had bad
cervical spines.
However, the president was well-maintained. He was tall, vigorous, and imposing, looking handsome.
When he shook hands with a man, she saw his hand in close-up. There were calluses between his
thumb and index finger, so she guessed he had often used guns when he had been young. His left
shoulder seemed injured because he had subconsciously protected it with a frown.
When Kendrick looked over, he saw her peeling an apple while watching TV. And the peeled skin did
not break off.
Why was she staring at Ryland?
He lightly coughed and asked, "Is President Williamson handsome?"
Natalie looked away from the TV and said, "Just so-so. He is not as handsome as you!"
She handed the apple to him and said, "Here you are!"
The apple was too big, so Kendrick didn't want to nibble at it.
Natalie frowned, "What's wrong?"
She suddenly realized what he meant and asked, "Do you want me to cut it into pieces?"
Seeing him nod, she angrily said, "You are going too far! Can't you eat it like this?"
He replied, "But I always eat apples in small pieces."
Natalie knew he was pampered. The temperature of his drinking water was always 40 degrees. And his
house was with constant temperature and humidity all year round.
So, she cut the apple into small pieces for him.
But when he forked a piece to feed her, she praised him for being caring at heart again.
On the TV screen, the president was playing a game with elementary school students on campus, and
the atmosphere looked enjoyable.
Seeing the gentle and benevolent look in his eyes, Natalie couldn't help saying, "He seems to like
children very much."
Kendrick harshly commented, "He is an unmarried middle-aged politician who has no children. So, he
can only use such a method to win people's favor and trust."
Natalie found it hard to refute his words.
She decided to stop talking because she had always said the wrong words today.
--
Kendrick was hospitalized, so Baron came with his clean clothes in the evening and helped him take a
shower.
Natalie couldn't help them because the bathroom in the hospital was too small for three people.
But she offered to help him wash his face.
Kendrick had been busy recently and had no time to have a haircut, so the hair over his forehead had
blocked his sight.
When Natalie was about to use the facial cleanser, she was afraid the foam would get on his hair. So,
she wiped the water off her hands, took out a black hair tie, and said, "I'll tie the hair over your forehead
up. Otherwise, it would get stained with foam."
Kendrick was stunned and said, "I can wash my face by myself."
He did not want to tie his hair.
Natalie said, "It will get stained with foam even if you wash your face by yourself."
The hair over his forehead was long. If it got wet, she would have to dry it later.
So, she leaned over and said, "I'll quickly tie it up. It will take a few seconds."
Kendrick refused because he was a man. How could a man wear a pigtail?
Natalie imagined the picture and suddenly began to look forward to it.
She coaxed, "Don't worry! No one else will see it. We're alone here now."
Kendrick said in a deep voice, "Don't be naughty."
As soon as he finished speaking, she aggrievedly pouted.
