Chapter 124 Will You Abandon Me?
The weather was excellent on Sunday. Falling ginkgo leaves were everywhere on both sides of the
street. Many tourists were taking pictures under the red wall. And autumn felt gentle.
Kendrick had a medical exam today. He had completed the acupuncture treatment. And the low-
frequency pulse electrotherapy had started.
While waiting outside, Natalie was reading his medical exam report.
Judging from his current recovery speed, he could undergo the operation in the middle or at the end of
this month.
When Owen came over and stood in front of her, she looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We have trouble."
Natalie stood up and followed him to his office.
"The recovery drug GM-1 is banned."
Owen told her the bad news, turned on the computer, and printed out the recently banned drugs. GM-1
was on the list.
GM-1 was the most advanced drug to promote nerve growth and embryonic tissue development.
Although its production process was extremely complex, it was powerful. Hamgrad had not mastered
the technique yet. And it was rare in the world.
Natalie had been involved in the research and development of the drug, so she understood what Owen
meant as soon as he mentioned it.
Owen said, "I have a spare injection. I brought it back in the name of academic research when I
returned from abroad. But it is not enough. And the current domestic pharmaceutical technology cannot
produce GM-1for the time being."
Natalie said with a deep frown, "GM-1 is the most important recovery drug. Unlike other drugs, it is
indispensable."
"Smuggling?"
Natalie shook her head, "There's no need to take such a big risk."
She glanced at the list of prohibited drugs and said, "We need to figure out a legal way. Can you
contact other doctors and ask them to help bring some back in the name of academic research?"
Owen frowned, "The president signed the executive order in person, so the control must be strict. But I
will give it a shoot."
"Thank you, Owen."
Owen gently smiled in response.
He was a sincere and kind person, so Natalie was willing to give him all the honors and a place in
future textbooks.
Then, he seriously said, "Mr. Ramsey is recovering quickly. It is estimated that he can undergo surgery
in mid-to-late October."
"Okay, please make the arrangements and notify him after you set the time. I will let him drop every
work no matter what."
Natalie looked at Owen and soothed him, saying, "Don't worry. I'll be there too."
Owen sighed, "If Mr. Ramsey knows..."
Natalie sighed in a melancholy voice, "Let's wait until the surgery is successfully performed."
-
Natalie kept thinking about GM-1 after leaving Owen's office. And she googled President Williamson.
He held a dual Ph.D. Ph.D. in quantum physics and economics, so he must be very smart. No wonder
he had been voted as the president!
But he was not kind to the Ramsey Group. Since he had come to power, he had been committed to
weakening the power of the plutocrats to reduce their influence on the economy. And the Ramsey
Group bore the brunt of it.
Kendrick asked bedside her, "Why are you sighing?"
Natalie was surprised to hear it and asked, "Did I sigh?"
"Yes."
And her sign was low but sad.
Meeting his black eyes, Natalie didn't know where to start, so she perfunctorily said, "I have intermittent
mood swings. Don't worry. I'll be fine after having something yummy."
Kendrick laughed and asked, "What movie are we watching tonight?" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Natalie winked at him and said, "A romantic comedy. No spoiler. You will know soon."
--
The movie Natalie chose was named Love in Another World.
The heroine was a college student who loved comics. By accident, she entered one of her favorite
comics. She met the villain with a miserable life experience before he became a bad person. And she
used her gentleness and kindness to tolerate and influenced him. In the original story, he became a
murderer and ended up in jail. But after meeting her, he studied hard and changed his life.
It was a very positive story. Natalie had searched online for a long time before finding this niche low-
budget film.
Kendrick frowned, not wanting to watch a campus movie.
Natalie intended to help him get psychologically prepared, so she coaxed him, saying, "It has a score
of 8.0. It must be not bad."
It was their first movie date, so they should watch a sweet romance movie than a mind-twisting
suspense one!
When Kendrick turned on the projector, Natalie immediately went to fetch the popcorn and coke she
had bought in advance.
At the end of the movie, the heroine returned to her original world. And the hero gave up everything
and followed her back, although he had already become a top star in his world.
When the movie ended, a line of words slowly appeared on the screen.
"Love stays oceans apart, oceans an easy reach."
Kendrick quietly watched it with a poker face. The core of the movie was the last sentence. But Mr.
Ramsey couldn't understand it because of his life experience.
When he raised his hand to turn on the wall lamp, he found Natalie had quietly cried in the dark.
It was a sweet romantic comedy. Why was she crying?
He comforted her, saying, "It's just a story. There are a lot of dramatic elements. Don't take it seriously."
He took out a tissue, held her face, and wiped off her tears.
Natalie had always been optimistic and cheerful. So, it was rare to see her so vulnerable and sad.
After he coaxed her in a deep voice for a while, she finally said in a muffled voice, "If you were the
hero, would you give up everything to stay with your beloved woman?"
Kendrick fell silent because he had never thought of such a thing before. In his world, he barely gave a
thing to get another.
Seeing him keep silent, Natalie thought she should not have asked such a silly and boring question.
The atmosphere froze.
When she was about to break the ice, Kendrick's slender fingers brushed her hair and touched her
neck. Looking into her eyes, he solemnly and seriously answered, "I will go wherever you go!"
He wiped away tears in the corner of her eyes with his thumb and smiled, "Unless you don't want me to
stay with you."
He leaned over, pressed his forehead against hers, and deliberately lowered his voice when asking,
"Will you abandon me, Nat?"
She would never abandon him. She wanted to be with him forever, so she immediately shook her head
hard and solemnly replied, "No."
She then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him full of the flavor of cola and caramel.
Soon, he took the initiative, and the kiss became aggressive.
Natalie's mood swung. As soon as he lightly struck her tense heartstrings, a string of notes flew out.
She felt dazed and unrealistic as if stepping on a cloud.
When she sobered up, her top had slipped from her shoulders to her waist.
When he put his hands on her shoulders, his slender fingers were lightly fiddling with the thin black
straps.
