Chapter 82 Kendrick's Possessiveness
When Nigel came out of the office, he bumped into Rose.
He stopped her and said in surprise, "Mr. Ramsey really has a strawberry lip balm. I saw it!"
Nigel had not expected to be able to silence Kendrick with a question.
After he asked the question, Kendrick took out a lip balm from the drawer, which meant he had.
Rose said, "I have seen it several times and I feel like it has been used for quite some time."
Nigel frowned. "It must be Mrs. Ramsey's. No normal man would use a lip balm with a strawberry pattern."
Rose nodded in agreement. "I think so." She pointed inwardly and said, "Mr. Ramsey's in a good mood lately. Not long ago, he suddenly asked me what we girls generally liked. Pay attention. He asked about girls. Of course, he wasn't asking about me. I know who I am."
"What did you say?"
"I said that I usually bought myself some bags, lipstick, and things like that. I told him that if I liked someone, I would like whatever he gave me. Guess what Mr. Ramsey said?"
Nigel got excited. "Let's go to the break room to make some coffee and talk about the Q3 work plan."
When the two of them arrived at the break room, Rose said, "Mr. Ramsey said no matter what, he couldn't choose a gift casually but to think over it carefully."
Nigel was surprised. "What a high EQ! Mr. Ramsey is really good at pleasing a girl!"
Rose spread out her hands. "For any man, once he cares about a girl, he'll be 100% devoted and self-taught."
On Friday's consultation meeting.
Kendrick specially spared out a day.
Over the past nearly twenty years, he had participated in countless such diagnosis and treatment consultation meetings, large and small.
Seth had even gathered many teams of famous doctors from around the world for him.
Unfortunately, all their efforts ended in failure.
Until recent years, there were still top medical teams attempting to treat him, but they were all rejected by him, except this time.
At the long table in the conference room, Kendrick took the main seat.
Natalie sat to his left, while Owen sat opposite Natalie.
After Owen finished his narration, Glenn questioned that Owen's acupuncture plan was so unconventional that he had never seen it in all these years. He also said that Owen was mainly engaged in modern surgery and was not good at acupuncture.
Owen said unhurriedly, "This acupuncture plan is improved on the previous one. Although I majored in modern surgery, I also studied acupuncture under your guidance. I am proficient in basic theoretical expertise, so I'm not bad at it. Besides, you did not raise any objections at the beginning."
Glenn was silent for a while.
Then he said, "I'm in doubt about the plan. For Mr. Rong's safety, I suggest that I should draw up a new acupuncture treatment plan."
Glenn had been silent before Owen had finished his narration. Apparently, he now felt that Owen's plan had a high probability of success, so he jumped out to get a piece of the cake. Kendrick listened to them in silence.
After all, he was not a medical professional, and as he had given them great respect, he would naturally have no personal opinion.
Owen frowned.
The entire conference room was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, Natalie's voice rang out.
"If I remember correctly, Prof. Murphy once treated Mr. Ramsey with acupuncture six years ago." Her calm and clear voice broke the silence.
Natalie turned to look at Glenn. "It didn't work at all that time."
Her cold gaze stiffened Glenn's body.
"Of course, Prof. Murphy, I am not questioning your professionalism. It's just that Mr. Ramsey could not fully recover with acupuncture alone, so we decided to go with a plan that blends traditional and modern medicine. Acupuncture will only be used in the early stage to stimulate his nerves and muscles, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the difficulty of surgery."
Natalie's words were ordered and clear.
Everyone's gaze fell on her.
"Dr. Gentry's plan has been approved, and during the initial communication, you did not have any objections. We planned to go through a consultation this morning and move into the diagnosis and treatment stage in the afternoon. Therefore, your sudden change of plan will put all the previous preparations in vain."
"I was out of concern for Mr. Ramsey," Glenn trie to explain.
"I understand." Natalie followed his words, but with a forcible tone, "The plan can be adjusted again, but Prof. Murphy, please be prepared. If there is no breakthrough within a month, we will adopt a new plan. What do you think, Prof. Murphy?"
Glenn was stunned.
He couldn't help but think, "Why doesn't she look like a patient's family at all? Why is she so calm and rational?"
However, since Natalie, Kendrick's wife, had said so, Glenn could only agree.
Natalie looked around the several experts at the table and said in a forcible and indubitable tone, "Dr. Gentry will be in charge of the overall diagnosis and treatment plan. He has the final say on all decisions and will be the only person to communicate directly with Mr. Ramsey. As for the rest of you, just listen to him."
Owen was also stunned.
However, he felt Natalie's infinite trust in him.
Such trust doubled his confidence.
Natalie asked again, "Do you have any questions?"
No one raised any more questions.
Kendrick looked at her and slightly pursed his lips, and his expression didn't change.
However, he sensed that she was partial to Owen.
It was undisguised in his eyes.
He thought, "Why does she trust him so much?
But what she said was indeed true.
We need to give Owen 100% trust and absolute dominance in decision-making to avoid subsequent contradictions.
But why am I just feeling so uncomfortable?"
Even so, Kendrick still unhurriedly said, "What Mrs. Ramsey said is what I mean."
After the meeting, Owen stayed to discuss the afternoon's diagnosis and treatment.
Natalie talked with him for a long time.
They went through all the details of the specific plan and precautions.
Kendrick remained silent on the side.
In the end, Natalie finally remembered him and turned to ask him, "Honey, do you have any other questions?"
Kendrick said, "No."
"Then that's all, Dr. Gentry. Would you like to have lunch with us?"
Before Owen could reply, Kendrick suddenly said, "I have a video meeting at noon."
Hearing that, Owen said, "Mr. Ramsey's time is precious, so I'd better not disrupt you. I'll go to prepare for the afternoon diagnosis and treatment now."
After saying that, he immediately turned and left.
Natalie glanced at Owen's back and then turned to look at Kendrick. "Since you have a video meeting later, I'll go buy some whole-wheat bread and salad to save time."
Kendrick raised his face and pointed to his mobile phone. "The meeting was canceled just now."
Natalie lost her words for a moment.
Then she said, "Then I'll order some food online. What would you like to eat?"
"I have no appetite now," said Kendrick.
Natalie was not stupid, and she naturally saw that something was wrong with Kendrick. She reached out and pushed him. "What's wrong with you? Are you angry? Just because I talked to Owen for a while?" She was aggrieved. "Isn't that for you?"
Natalie bent over him and stared into his eyes. "Don't you know who I am concerned about?"
At that moment, Owen returned for the documents he had left behind. As he reached the door, he saw Natalie, who had been forcible, calm, and rational in the meeting, bending over the man in the wheelchair with a gentle expression and kissing him, as if to coax him.
He froze in place.
The man in the wheelchair raised his eyes as if he had noticed him. He then clasped the girl by the waist and held her in his arms. His eyes were filled with intense possessiveness.
