Chapter 42 My Heart Was in Pain.
Ashlynn faltered, "It seems serious."
Kendrick was unsatisfied with her answer.
"Mrs. Ramsey hasn't eaten all day." Ashlynn said carefully, "Would you like to come back?"
Kendrick was speechless.
What was wrong with these people now?
He pressed his brow and said, "There is no such medicine as you said. Go to consult Dr. House."
"All right."
"Send me the list of medicines she wants you to buy."
Kendrick added.
After receiving the list, he passed it on to a research and development specialist in the pharmaceutical industry.
The specialist replied: [From the name it should be the upgraded version of Compound paracetamol and Amantadine Hydrochloride Tablets. Currently it's not on the market. But I know there are biological companies are developing it, and it is expected to be approved after two years to go on the market.]
Kendrick put his finger to his lips.
After a moment he tapped on the table.
How did she know about a drug that won't be on the market for years?
Natalie's smiling face sprang to mind.
But it was like a mist through them.
It was hard to see clearly.
But it made him really want to disperse the mist.
He lifted his face slightly and exhaled, then read the plan he had just received from the strategy department.
Soon, Kendrick made a internal call and let Nigel in. He threw the plan to him and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Decker if this plan was written by his seven-year-old son? Why did he present such a terrible plan?"
Nigel responded, "I'll get your message right away."
When he went out, he immediately sent a message to a chat group of his own friends.
[Mr. Ramsey is in a bad mood today. Orange alert!]
Many "Got it" were immediately displayed on the screen.
Nadia typed. [Mr. Ramsey was absent-minded during the morning meeting yesterday. I seriously suspect it was an internal family conflict.]
Nigel was also puzzled. There had been family conflicts before.
But Mr. Ramsey never brought his emotions to work.
In fact, Mr. Decker's scheme was just ordinary without any problem.
Maybe this plan was not good, but it was not that terrible like writing by his son.
But Mr. Ramsey was unsatisfied.
He even disliked it.
It was 2 p.m. when Ashlynn got back from the medicine. She hurried upstairs and knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
"Mrs. Ramsey, I'm sorry. I had to go to several drugstores to get the medicines you asked, but I failed. So I asked Dr. House for some other cold medicine." Natalie was lying in bed in a daze. She was awaken by Ashlynn's words.
She forgot that the medicines she listed were the latest cold cures developed in her own world.
The world probably hadn't worked out yet, or was working on it but hadn't approved it.
"It's all right." Natalie smiled and took the pill box. "This also works."
She was careless.
She forgot these things.
"Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"
After took the medicine, Natalie touched her stomach and said, "I want bibimbap and clam chowder."
"Well, I'll make it for you. Please take a rest."
Natalie lay on the bed and picked up the pill box.
It was a primary version of the specific medicine.
She pressed her lips together and thought she must be more careful.
The drug made her drowsy. She lay back and heard a noise of the car downstairs.
The door was opened after a unknown time.
The sound of the wheelchair came closer.
Natalie secretly opened a crack in her eye and looked. When he came she closed her eyes.
"Have you taken your medicine?"
Kendrick's voice was cool.
She didn't answer.
So she didn't want to talk to him?
Kendrick raised his hand and tried to brush the hair out of her ear.
When his fingers just touched the underside of her earlobe, she giggled, said, "Stop tickling!"
Now Ashlynn had made her meal and placed it on the coffee table.
Kendrick stopped and said, "Let's have dinner!"
Natalie didn't answer. Suddenly she coughed violently. Leaning against the head of the bed, she took a breath and said weakly, "I feel terrible."
"Where?"
"Heart!" Natalie looked at him with puppy eyes and pointed to the position of her heart.
Kendrick was speechless.
He raised his eyebrows, asking, "I thought you caught a cold."
"Yes. But it caused by the anxiety in my heart."
"What anxiety do you have?"
'You'll be angry again! Natalie pretended, "I'd rather not to say."
Kendrick was silent.
After a while, he asked, "So you will be sick all the time if I don't promise you?"
Natalie answered, "Anxiety is hard to disappear. I'm wasting away day by day." Kendrick felt speechless.
"Do you know I hate it when people bargain with me?"
She didn't just bargain with him, and she asked more and more..
She was testing his bottom line, and he made a concession again and again.
"I know." Natalie nodded and said, "But I have such a personality. I will fell uncomfortable if I don't achieve my goal. Over time it will become a heart disease."
She sighed, like she knew it was wrong but she just couldn't help it.
After thinking all night, Kendrick was calm and rational, saying, "Just be clear, the result will not be changed. It's futile. Are you sure you can bear this kind of disappointment?"
He didn't care.
There was no hope.
So he wouldn't be disappointed.
But the keen look of Natalie showed that she must be hoping for a good result.
"I'm not that vulnerable." "Said Natalie.
As a doctor, she was at peace with it for she saw too many impotence in the world.
But Kendrick had a point.
The weakness to see all effort and hope were finally in vain.
It was really hard to accept.
"Regardless of the outcome, I want to give it my best shot." Natalie's eyes were firm. "I will always be with you."
I'll always be with you.
This was probably the most beautiful lover's words in the world.
There wasn't any sweet words in this sentence.
But the words penetrated directly into the heart.
No matter how cold a heart was, there would be some ripples and throbs because of this sentence.
Kendrick said, "Get up and have dinner first."
Natalie looked at him, asking, "Do you promise me?"
Kendrick looked away and said, "Yes!"
Natalie immediately pulled back the covers and said, "Let's have dinner now!"
"So you are good now?"
"Yes." Natalie just said a word, then instantly pressed her temples. "I just took medicine. My head is still a little dizzy. How about you feed me?"
"You ask too much!"
He spoiled her!
She was not just pushing her luck. She was bold and pretended.
She began coughing violently again.
Kendrick felt speechless again.
But he was tricked, too.
He answered everything she said.
By now, Kendrick had voluntarily scooped up some clam chowder, blowing on it to feel that it was not too hot before feeding it to her mouth.
Compared with before, there was clearly a sharp improvement.
Natalie was happy secretly as she ate.
Kendrick was not so hard to persuade after all.
But then he suddenly said, "Ashlynn didn't get the medicine you asked, so I told her to ask the doctor to get you a new one."
Natalie almost bit her tongue.
"Yes, yes, yes." She nodded in a panic: "I also realized that I had made a mistake in writing a few more words."
"It's not a mistake. The medicine you ask was on the market yet."
Kendrick suddenly stared at her with his black and deep eyes.
