Chapter 237 Kendrick Nestled in Her Embrace
Natalie stood up and was about to leave.
Then she ran into the security team.
Clearly, they intended to take her away.
Brock rushed in from outside.
Natalie raised her hand, signaling him not to act impulsively.
She then promptly called the Cabinet Secretary, explaining the situation of being stopped by the security team.
The Secretary was aware that Dr. Quinn was a VIP of Ryland, so he didn't dare to show any disrespect. Swiftly, he reached out to the head of the security team. Upon hearing it was at the behest of Caitlin, the Secretary seemed uneasy, as if facing a major dilemma in his career.
He naturally knew how to respond appropriately to different situations.
Although Caitlin was a sister to Ryland, they seemed to have little interaction over the years.
Moreover, Caitlin could contribute nothing to science, economy and cultural development.
With or without her, the world would keep turning.
But Dr. Quinn was different.
Dr. Quinn, a highly skilled physician who not only saved Frank but also excelled in the field of medicine, was indispensable to Hamgrad. With her expertise, Hamgrad's biological medicine technology could undoubtedly lead the world.
With these thoughts, the Secretary quickly weighed his options.
Then, he immediately demanded the security team release Natalie.
"Hands off Dr. Quinn!"
...
Eventually, Natalie left unscathed.
While in the car, she cautioned Brock, saying, "For now, don't tell Ken about this. Let's wait for the psychologist's assessment first."
Brock nodded in understanding.
Natalie played with the windproof sunglasses on her hand and asked, "How was my performance just now?"
"Totally awesome!" Brock praised sincerely and admiringly.
Natalie chuckled, "Well, took down one, now there's Melvin left. How should we deal with him now? Seems like he's shameless and unafraid of a beating."
Melvin had been punched by Brock.
He even got a beating from his own father.
But Melvin seemed unkillable, with an incredibly strong vitality.
He was always unwilling to give up and constantly caused trouble.
Brock wholeheartedly agreed with Natalie's words.
Propping her chin up with one hand, Natalie flicked her sunglasses off with the other and said, "Did he freeze a batch of embryos?"
"Yeah, but none of them developed."
"Maybe he's the problem," Natalie mocked.
Quality issues, so there wasn't any development regarding the embryos.
"It seems like Melvin really wants a child." Natalie sighed, "Let's give him some hope!"
Brock questioned her with his eyes.
Natalie just gave him a faint smile but remained silent.
...
After experiencing the cold last time, Kendrick's legs were unusually painful.
Natalie forced him into wearing warm pants.
And made him cover up with a wool blanket.
No taking it off.
The warm pants were ugly, and weren't refined at all.
Kendrick, who had very high taste standards, initially refused, and he asked, "Hey Nat, can I not wear this?"
The merciless answer was a firm 'No'.
Although it was warm, it was really ugly.
Fortunately, he had a few days off these days, and didn't have to go to the company temporarily.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing.
Sitting in the greenhouse, Kendrick watered the orchids, and felt utterly embarrassed.
Natalie purchased a Cymbidium Ensifolium plant for him, valued at 150 thousand dollars, but it had not yet bloomed.
The feeling of being pampered by his wife was quite enjoyable.
As he was thinking this, his phone rang.
Kendrick answered the call.
"This incident involves a collaboration between Caitlin and Melvin," the person on the other side reported to Kendrick. "Additionally, I found that funds have been transferred into Caitlin's private account from overseas for nearly twenty years."
Kendrick listened in silence.
"Any leads on the remittance account?"
"Not at the moment, just a fake Fayman name."
Therefore, she took a detour to a city to buy the cupcake for him today.
Natalie was a laid-back person. So, initially she wasn't quite understanding some of Kendrick's refined and picky lifestyle habits.
For example, spending three hours on a journey and queuing for an hour just to buy some food. In the past, she wouldn't have wasted time on such things. She barely had time for experiments and papers, let alone these.
But now, if it made him happy, she was willing to invest time and effort.
Kendrick was genuinely touched.
He even considered doing something on the bed with her.
But it seemed Natalie wasn't interested.
She wrapped his legs warmly at night, fed him a cold medicine, and told him to rest early.
After the lights went out, Natalie slept peacefully.
Physical work was indeed tiring.
Next time, she'd let Brock handle the discipline.
But personally getting her hands dirty was still more satisfying.
As Natalie was pondering how to continue her disciplinary actions, Kendrick had already nestled into her embrace.
These rainy nights took a toll on Kendrick's legs, causing pain that couldn't be alleviated with painkillers.
Natalie gently touched his face and asked, "Is the leg pain severe?"
"Yeah."
She gave his back a pat, gently soothing him as if calming a baby.
Kendrick was sticking to her like glue.
It bothered him all day when she was out.
"Still hurting?" Natalie asked again after a while.
"Yeah."
Kendrick nuzzled into her embrace again.
His leg ached, keeping him from sleep.
But he didn't dare to act recklessly. He just rubbed against her haphazardly.
Natalie probably understood what he wanted to do.
Well, at times, Kendrick could be a bit... how should she say it? He seemed to lack a sense of security.
Certain thoughts crossed her mind as she slowly undid the buttons on her shirt and ran her hands through his black hair before pressing close.
