Chapter 26 Sitting on His Lap
Natalie was giving herself a needle.
Natalie's master Easton Wright shared his experience with his disciples after treating the president's
legs. The first step was to stimulate the nerves in the patient's legs with ancient acupuncture to restore
part of their stress ability.
Ancient acupuncture had been slowly lost.
But fortunately, there were still people who had passed on these traditions.
Natalie specialized in modern medicine, but she also knew the broadness and profoundness of
traditional medicine. So she begged her master Easton to teach her acupuncture.
With Natalie's fingers quickly touching her thigh, she burned the tip of the needle on the alcohol lamp
and punctured it at the acupuncture point.
"Hiss..." Natalie gritted her teeth, the pain in her thigh here was intense and the nerves reacted
violently.
Natalie marked this place with a red dot, took out a tissue, and quickly wiped off the overflowing blood
spots.
There was a knock on the door.
Natalie was so startled that she almost knocked over the alcohol lamp.
Immediately, Natalie covered the alcohol cap and packed the needles, but accidentally made the book
fall on the ground.
Then Natalie heard a loud bang.
The door was pushed open.
Natalie hastily covered herself with a quilt.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I'm going to sleep right away!"
"Why are your eyes so red?"
"I..." Natalie thought about how to answer this question quickly, then she suddenly sniffed, and her
voice choked up, "I'm reading a novel. It's very moving."
Natalie kept her wits about her, which made Kendrick think that she was clever.
Kendrick thought Natalie deserved an Oscar.
Kendrick's eyes narrowed slightly and suspiciously because he smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the
air.
Natalie hurriedly asked Kendrick, "Why didn't you sleep? Did you come to see if I was asleep?"
Kendrick said nothing because he did not want to be entangled by Natalie, so he looked down and said
calmly, "Have an early night!"
"Sure."
After Kendrick went out, Natalie's heart which was about to jump out slowly calmed down.
Natalie would not bring this up with Kendrick at this time if she was not completely sure, because she
did not want to arouse more suspicion or give him hope but disappoint him.
There was a burst of numbness and pain in Natalie's knee.
Her knee showed an obvious pain reaction.
It also matched what Easton had said before.
Then, in the diagnosis and treatment plan, more stimulation could be added to this acupuncture point.

Natalie woke up the next day with both numb legs.
The moment Natalie got up, she directly knelt on the bed.
Previously, Natalie could experiment on white mice.
However, Natalie had to experiment on herself at this time as she was the white mouse.
Natalie would perform the acupuncture on herself, and she was afraid that she would have to test the
medicine on herself again in a short time.
Natalie propped herself up on her two legs after washing and stood at the top of the stairs, but almost
fell off. She carefully held on to the handrail before walking downstairs.
"Ashlynn, come and help me, hurry up!"
Ashlynn hurried over.
"What happened to your leg?"
Someone's voice came from the side.
Kendrick did not leave, he was still at home.
Natalie turned her face away, looking surprised.
Kendrick's eyes rested on Natalie's leg.
"It's numb," Natalie coughed.
Natalie was lying with a guilty disguise.
Ashlynn helped Natalie to sit down and carefully asked her if she was okay.
Natalie raised her eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just a little numb from squatting for a long
time, and I just need rest for a while." She turned to Kendrick and asked, "Aren't you going to work?"
Natalie's eyes were full of red blood.
"No."
"How about having breakfast together?"
"I've eaten breakfast."
It was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Natalie silently sipped the chicken porridge.
As Natalie sat, she felt her legs go numb.
Those subtle pains went straight to Natalie's head.
Natalie's legs hurt so much that her hand holding the spoon almost trembled.
Kendrick was not such an easy person to fool, he was reading documents on the tablet while Natalie
was having breakfast.
Natalie wondered why Kendrick did not go to the company today.
Finally, Natalie gritted her teeth and stood up. After taking two steps, she felt that her legs were weak.
When she stepped on the ground, it was like stepping on cotton. She could not find a center of gravity,
and without the support of gravity, her body quickly fell to one side.
However, Natalie was very responsive. She hurriedly put her hands on the table to steady herself, and
in a flash, someone held her up from behind.
Natalie let go of her hands, sitting directly on Kendrick's lap.
Kendrick frowned tightly.
"What's wrong with the legs?"
"Not the legs." Natalie quibbled, "It's head. I feel a little dizzy."
Then Natalie rubbed her temples and said, "Oh, I suddenly have a headache. It must be because I This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
didn't sleep well after reading the novel too late last night.
Natalie was burying the truth.
Natalie did not dare to meet Kendrick's eyes until his hand covered her knee.
Natalie wore thin clothes in summer, and when she came down, she did not expect Kendrick to be
there, so she just came with a suspender nightgown. Through a thin layer of nightgown, she could feel
the warmth of Kendrick's palm.
Kendrick must not see that Natalie's legs were covered in blood spots from her knee up, she thought.
Natalie bit her lip, smiling awkwardly and shyly, "It's... not good to do this in the daytime!"
As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Kendrick's face turned a little cold.
Kendrick remembered how bold Natalie had been when she offered to help him take a bath!
With the tip of the tongue against the roof of his mouth, Kendrick said coldly, "Then why don't you stand
up?"
Only then did Natalie realize that she was still sitting on Kendrick's lap.
Natalie stood up cautiously with her hands on the table beside her and said, "I feel a little dizzy. Let me
sit down for a while."
When Natalie said this, her hand rested on her lap unconsciously.
It seemed that Natalie was refusing to tell Kendrick the truth.
"What's troubling you?" Kendrick stared at Natalie.
"Head!" Natalie answered directly.
"Ashlynn," Kendrick shouted, "Madam said she was dizzy, bring her some medicine."
"OK," Ashlynn replied.
Kendrick personally poured a glass of water, opened the pill, and handed it to Natalie's lips, saying,
"Take it, and then you'll feel better."
Natalie whimpered twice and frowned, "Must I take the pill?"
"Or I'll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.
Kendrick's gentleness and affability were all appearances, Natalie thought.
Kendrick was sharp and strong.
It was no problem for Natalie to take the pill. She just thought it tasted a bit bitter.
"I'll take it."
Natalie quickly took the pill from Kendrick's hand and stuffed it into her mouth. After tasting the bitter
taste of it, she wrinkled her face with bitterness.
A glass of water was handed to Natalie.
Natalie raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp.
"Have a good rest today. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll ask the doctor to see you," Kendrick said.
"Okay," Natalie said obediently, "I'll go upstairs to rest!"
After getting Kendrick's consent, Natalie walked past him with big strides, pretending to be calm and
brisk, and gave him a big smile.
After Natalie left, Kendrick asked Ashlynn, "What has Natalie been doing recently?"
"Madam has been writing plans and reading in the study recently. She bought a lot of books which I
can't understand the titles of them. They seem to be medical books." Ashlynn thought about it and said,
"She also asked me to learn how to cook, saying..."
Ashlynn remained silent for a while.
Kendrick caught the information in Ashlynn's words in time and asked, "Medical books?"
Ashlynn nodded, and praised Natalie in a hurry, "Madam is very smart. She can understand the
contents of the book after reading it once. The last time when I had an allergy on my face, she said that
I was dehydrated, and she gave me an ointment to apply. With this ointment, I get well soon. It's
amazing."
Hearing this, Kendrick's face darkened.
