Chapter 205 I Can Stand Up
The more Seth listened to Susan's words, the more ridiculous he felt.
Surprised and puzzled, he said, "Do you mean Natalie knows how to perform the surgery? You are muddleheaded."
Susan was speechless. She had thought he would have a better impression of Natalie after she told him about the matter. Unexpectedly, he did not believe her.
He said, "I know she is smart. But how could you say she performed the surgery to remove the tumor from your brain? She has never studied medicine!"
Seeing her remain silent, he shook his head, "You should not have lied to me even if you like her."
Then, he tiredly sighed, "I have no prejudice against her. She needs to keep her nose clean in the Ramsey family."
Susan said, "It does not matter if you don't believe me. But I will give her 10% of my shares and let her take over Ramsey Biomedicine. She is much more capable than your children. If you make things difficult for her again, I will take her and Kendrick to Audale. You can ask whoever you want to take care of the business in the Hamgrad-Pacitia region region!"
Seth was at a loss for words because even Susan wanted him to compromise.
"Seth, I understood one thing after the incident. Nothing is more important than our lives. After we die, we will lose my power, status, and money."
She took his hand, patted it, and said, "You are seventy years old. You have devoted more than forty years to the Ramsey Group. It would be best if you gave yourself a break. Moreover, there is no need to be angry with your grandson."
Seth retorted, "It is his fault! He intends to abandon the Ramsey Group on a whim. He is not responsible. I wasted twenty years cultivating him!"
Susan amiably comforted him, saying, "It is because you pushed him too hard. Ken is in poor health. It's hard for him to find a girl who genuinely loves him. Natalie is smart and sensible. It would be best if you stayed out of their business. If she leaves your grandson, how can you get a great-grandchild?"
Seth knew Kendrick was warning him. If he interfered in his emotional life again, Kendrick would leave the Ramsey Group without hesitation. After all, he firmly believed he would spend the rest of his life with Natalie.
Seth lay down and said, "I've long stayed out of such things. I don't want to look for trouble. Please help me call Kendrick and Natalie. I want to meet them."

Natalie did not know Seth was seriously ill and hospitalized until she received Susan's call. After all, he had hidden it from all the other people.
When Natalie and Kendrick arrived, Seth was heavily panting on the hospital bed, looking exhausted.
No matter how powerful he used to be, he looked fragile in the face of aging and death.
The doctor said it was still because of the old problem in his heart. They could not remove the bullet. And he was getting old. So, various physical problems popped up.
Seth motioned for everyone else to go out because he wanted to speak with Natalie alone.
When Kendrick was about to speak, Seth said, "I won't do anything to her. Can't I talk to her alone?"
"I have promised I will stay with him forever since the very beginning. But you are still worried I will abandon him. Your worry is ungrounded. And you wrongly accused me of gaslighting him."
She took a deep breath and continued, "I fell in love first, so I have been trying hard to adapt to your rules. I have no interest in the Ramsey family's power, status, or property. I don't want to obtain anything through Kendrick. You don't need to worry about such things."
Seeing Seth stare at her, she sincerely said, "He had carefully thought about it before deciding to leave the Ramsey Group. It is not an impulsive decision. You know his character well. No one can force him to do what he does not want. In addition, he is not happy in Ramsey Group. He cleans up all the messes, but the credit and success belong to others. People can only see his importance in crises."
Kendrick had said he felt like the company's cold and ruthless working machine. But when he was with her, he always felt happy and peaceful. Sometimes, he just read a book in her arms without doing anything meaningful.
Hearing her words, Seth remained silent for a long time. Then, he waved his hand, motioning for Kendrick to come in. He had begun preparing his will.
Seth bluntly said, "I won't allow you to leave the Ramsey Group. Don't even think about it!"
Kendrick was speechless.
"I won't interfere in your business anymore. But I want to remind you again. Don't be too devoted to her. Otherwise..."
Kendrick interrupted, "Grandpa, Natalie sacrificed a lot for me."
After a pause, he exclaimed suddenly, "I can stand up now."
