Chapter 178 She's Not Used to a Man in Her Room
When Kendrick said this, he was expressionless yet with tenderness in his eyes.
Brock thought, "Wow, a man who is in love is really gentle."
Then he immediately said that he would persuade Duke Rhett to auction the diamond in public anyway.
He continued to think, "If I'm not allowed to assassinate him, I can threaten appropriately and create a little surprise for him. I'm very good at it after all."
Kendrick propped himself up against the hanging ring with both hands and then used his waist and legs to exert force to slowly stand up.
This time Kendrick no longer felt the sharp pain in his legs as last time.
Cayden hurried over and observed carefully. He finally motioned to Kendrick to let go of the ring to see if he could stand still.
Kendrick loosened the ring and stood steadily.
He counted to five seconds before letting Brock help him sit down.
Now Kendrick still had to rely on external forces to stand up, but he could stand still after straightening up. Even if he could just stand for a short while, it was already a huge improvement.
Cayden said that it was expected that Kendrick would be able to practice walking with a walking machine within three months at this recovery rate. But before that, Kendrick had to spend this period in his wheelchair.
Kendrick wiped off the sweat from his forehead with the towel handed over by Brock and said, "I'm in no hurry!"
Compared with before, Kendrick had been in a much more stable state of mind recently, and he had been training in strict accordance with Cayden's instructions unhurriedly.
Once, Kendrick was hesitant and uneasy, worrying about the outcome.
Natalie's endless dedication and tolerance gave Kendrick a great sense of security. That day, when Natalie lay in his arms and cried with jealousy, Kendrick suddenly realized that he was needed and relied on by her.
All along, Kendrick thought that it was just he who needed Natalie unilaterally and humbly, because she was healthy and confident, and she could still have a wonderful life even if she left him.
However, someone like Kendrick who had been warmed by the sun was unwilling to return to a dark, humid, and lonely corner.
Therefore, Kendrick wanted to train harder so that he could stand up steadily as soon as possible.
He thought, "What kind of expression will Natalie have when she sees the scene? Will she be so cute? Oh yes, I can sleep by her side justifiably when I go back tonight. Even if I don't do anything, just holding her and smelling the fragrance in her hair is enough to make me happy."
Brock watched Kendrick's expression change three times in a second.
Confusion, gentleness, and happiness were mixed, making Kendrick even look a bit evil.
Brock didn't know what Kendrick was thinking but guessed it must be related to Natalie.
Brock knew only Natalie could make Kendrick have so many expressions.
Kendrick threw the towel to Brock and said in a great mood, "Drive me back later."
...
The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Natalie was taking a bath inside. She was in a good mood and was humming a song.
It seemed that being rich indeed made her pleasant.
The bathroom door opened with a click.
Natalie came out, wrapping herself up in the bath towel casually. At first glance, she saw Kendrick, who had changed into loungewear, sitting by the bed waiting for her.
Natalie immediately lowered her head and wrapped herself in the bath towel tightly. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Natalie was used to living alone, so she was casual at home.
Now, she was not used to the fact that there was a man in her room.
Kendrick's expression was strange.
Kendrick thought, "Sure enough, women often don't keep their word. Last night, she said that she wanted me to blow-dry her hair every day."
He said, "Come here. I'll blow dry your hair!"
Natalie grabbed the edge of her bath towel and whispered, "Wait a minute... I'll change clothes first."
She thought, "The bath towel seems to fall off at any time. It's too dangerous."
