Chapter 144 She Cried Hard
Brock took three days off.
He worked out, cooked, and played games at home.
He enjoyed the happy life of a single man.
When Brock received a message from Kendrick, he was playing a game on another cell phone.
Without hesitation, he quickly left a message in the game. "My mother asks me to have dinner now.
Don't be angry with me."
Brock picked up his phone and read the message in confusion.
Come to the hospital and check the surveillance.
What did Kendrick mean? Brock was at a loss, as if his boss had tossed him a blank form and asked
him to fill it in.
But could he say no?
Brock texted back, "I'll be right there."
However, Kendrick gave Brock a call soon afterward.
After the surgery, Kendrick was weak in his healing period. "Natalie lost her bracelet at the hospital.
She's unstable and moody, and she can't answer my questions. You have to find the bracelet for her."
Although Kendrick was sick, he sounded overbearing.
Brock quickly changed his clothes and went out.
He was going to take on a mission that sounded impossible to accomplish.
...
After Natalie went back home, she took a shower and lay in bed, falling asleep quickly.
She didn't sleep well, and various thoughts came across her mind.
In her dream, Kendrick asked her when and where she lost the bracelet, and she fumbled helplessly for
words.
However, Kendrick took out the bracelet and showed it to her.
Natalie reached out to take the bracelet, but he held her hand and said, "I won't give it to you if you
don't tell the truth."
Natalie said something, but Kendrick gripped her chin and said she was a liar.
She hastily explained, but he disappeared.
Natalie saw the woman that she met the other day.
The woman smiled at her faintly as if talking to her, but Natalie couldn't catch what she was saying.
Her dreams mixed with reality.
Natalie couldn't tell what was real and what was illusionary.
She woke up in the morning the next day.
Her phone vibrated.
Someone sent her a text message.
She looked at her phone. It was Saul.
It was not surprising that a schoolmate of the host had her contact information.
Saul said that it was a security guard who turned off the light and locked the door. The security guard
was a deaf-mute. When he learned that no one was in the bathroom, he turned off the light and locked
the door without knowing that the air-conditioning was on.
The Ramsey Group offered jobs for vulnerable members of society to enhance its social influence.
Only then Natalie remembered that she hadn't taken revenge.
"Do you know who you offended?"
Saul asked wryly in the end.
Natalie closed her eyes and thought carefully. She came up with a list of those who might hold grudges
against her and narrowed down the scope. Following that, she asked Mr. Levy to give her the
information about the staff members who were present at the live streaming that night.
In the end, she identified the female colleague who sorted out the materials with her.
It was Molly Baird, who was in charge of managing the live streamers.
Molly was a good friend of Nomi, who was replaced by Natalie.
If Natalie remembered it correctly, Nomi was Melvin's mistress who got out of his car that day.
Very good.
Hatred of her enemies, for old and new wrong, welled up in her heart.
Natalie decided to teach them a good lesson.
...
In the morning, Kendrick took a response test on his legs.
He could bend his knees and stretch them without difficulties.
His legs got much stronger.
As his wound hadn't been healed, he couldn't take the movement ability test.
However, the results were far better than expected.
After Owen did the tests on Kendrick and wrote an evaluation report, he said he would go to the airport
to see someone off in the afternoon.
"Is it a friend of yours?" Kendrick unusually asked.
Owen answered, "It's my mother."
Kendrick still remembered her name.
Brynn Quinn.
She was Hamgradish, but there was no record or information about her in Hamgrad.
She was mysterious.
Kendrick didn't ask more questions and went back to rest in his ward. His wound still hurt a lot.
However, it seemed insignificant compared with the torments in the past.
Kendrick picked up a glass of water.
Brock knocked on the door and entered the room.
Brock spent all night sorting out the surveillance and printed all the useful photos before he came to the
ward to see Kendrick. "Mrs. Ramsey was wearing the bracelet before your surgery, but it was missing
after that. I guess she lost it during the surgery."
Kendrick was drinking water. When he heard that, he tightened the grip on the glass and snorted coldly,
saying in a hoarse voice, "So this is the conclusion you drew after spending all night on the
investigation?"
Did Brock really stay in the CIA for ten years? Should he send Brock back to receive training?
The sarcastic words were on the tip of Kendrick's tongue, but he swallowed them because it was
exhausting to speak, which would also hurt his wound.
After being scolded, Brock admired Kendrick for being overbearing after the surgery.
"Here are the screenshots." Brock handed Kendrick the stack of pictures. "I can't find Mrs. Ramsey in
the surveillance cameras during your surgery."
Brock had a difficult time last night.
As he looked at the surveillance cameras, he felt something was wrong.
Kendrick took the screenshots and looked at them carefully.
Indeed, Natalie was not seen in the screenshots of the surveillance camera outside the operating room.
Where did she go?
Seeing that Kendrick frowned in confusion, Brock tried to help him out. "I guess Mrs. Ramsey was so
worried that she went to a quiet place and hid."
He gave a plausible explanation, "When my grandma had a heart bypass surgery, I was so nervous
that I found a quiet corner to stay."
Kendrick was speechless.
The pain was so intense that he could hardly say anything, so he ignored Brock's foolish guess.
Kendrick looked at the screenshots again.
He saw a picture outside his ward.
Natalie pressed her hand on the wall, bending slightly.
It was one o'clock in the morning.
It was three hours after the end of his surgery.
It was the first time she had appeared in the surveillance camera.
Her left wrist was empty.
Brock was right. Natalie lost her bracelet during the surgery. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Why did Natalie look sick?
Did she feel unwell?
Kendrick frowned.
Looking at Kendrick's knitted brows, Brock mustered up his courage and asked, "Why don't you ask
Mrs. Ramsey?"
After all, Kendrick was a top-notch interrogator.
He was as good as a court prosecutor.
If Kendrick asked Natalie more questions, he would soon find some clues.
Kendrick winced at the pain in the wound and gasped. He breathed slowly to calm down before he
said, "She cried hard."
When Natalie cried, his heart ached.
At that time, Natalie turned pale and frightened. She lowered her tearful face and didn't dare to look at
Kendrick, thinking he would blame her. However, Kendrick thought her health was more important than
the bracelet.
All his irritation was stifled by his concern for Natalie. He soothed her and suppressed the other
negative feelings, which he saved to torture Brock.
Brock understood it now.
He touched his face and tried to force up a crying expression.
No matter how hard he tried, he looked funny.
"This is all you have?" Kendrick tapped on the file and asked.
Brock had taken a few days off.
But his efficiency and capability dropped like a stone.
Kendrick thought he should keep Brock working nonstop.
"This is what we can see from the surveillance cameras." Brock said honestly, "As for the other
aspects, the hospital said it was about privacy."
Kendrick said disdainfully, "What privacy do they have since they have the surveillance cameras here?"
He endured the pain and asked, "Don't you have any other way?"
Brock pressed his lips and said awkwardly, "Yes, but it will take a while."
Kendrick raised his hand and beckoned him to hurry up.
After Brock left, it got quiet in the ward.
Previously, Kendrick was tortured by the pain and couldn't think clearly. His brain didn't function well.
But now he had a clear mind.
He thought the whole thing was fishy and weird.
As for the bracelet, it disappeared strangely.
Kendrick pressed his lips.
He thought carefully about the surgery.
The surgery was performed by Owen and Dr. Morse, who was invited by Owen. Dr. Morse came from
Cruxham, and he left after the surgery.
There were two medical assistants, a nurse, and an anesthetist.
However, before Kendrick fell into a coma, he saw that the doctor in front of him was not Owen.
The doctor was a woman that was much shorter and thinner than Owen.
She asked the anesthetist to give him one more injection of anesthetic.
Following that, she slapped his face to see if the anesthetic worked.
She even took off the bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet was exactly the same as the one he gave Natalie.
Kendrick thought it might be an illusion under the effect of the anesthetic.
Or he was so upset with the loss of the bracelet that he had a wild imagination.
If it was not an illusion, who was the woman doctor?
