Chapter 172 Marriage Letter
Kendrick was restrained and sensible. Although he was eager to kiss and hug her, he did not want to
infect her.
He even wanted to let her sleep in another room but couldn't go against his heart. He was like a child
attracted to candy who knew it would harm his teeth.
Countless complicated thoughts popped into his mind, but he suppressed them and only tenderly
hugged her.
Natalie held his face with both hands and pecked his forehead.
After a silence, he suddenly said, "The temperature in Audale is low. Take more thick clothes."
After a pause, he added, "If the doctors can't save her, don't be too sad. God decides it."
After a certain age, the so-called life was just a process of dying. The precious things in life would slip
out of people's hands one after another. There was nothing more painful than loss because loss meant
irreparable.
Even though there was little hope, Natalie would do her best to compete with the god of death for
Susan's life. When she had first become a doctor, she vowed to try her best to save people.
She rested her head in his arms. His body temperature was a bit high due to the cold. When he
occasionally coughed, his chest vibrated. So, she reached out to slowly pat his chest to help him
breathe.
She was not patient or gentle and did not have a good temper. But she was changing because of him.
"Okay, I'll discuss her condition with you when I arrive."
Although she had said so, she believed she could save Susan.
Suddenly, she thought of one thing and said, "By the way, Melvin said Reuben went to meet him and
even cried."
This matter sounded absurd. And she wondered how these two people had colluded with each other.
The thing was not complicated.
Kendrick hated deceit and betrayal and was not broad-minded. Reuben had played dirty tricks behind
his back many times, so he had set a trap for the former.
Reuben was not smart. Compared with Kendrick, he was like a fool. He had jumped into the trap with
all his property and gotten in trouble. The capital chain had ruptured, but no one was willing to help. So,
he was debt-ridden and would spend the rest of his life paying off debts.
He should not have offended Mr. Ramsey.
These tricks were not glorious, so Kendrick understated them, unwilling to let Natalie know too much of
his dark side. He just told her Reuben had failed to raise funds and would declare bankruptcy.
However, Natalie paid all her attention to Reuben and disdainfully said, "He is indeed ordinary but
confident. He is not a stock. Why did he think people would be willing to invest in him?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Then, she lowered her voice and murmured, "Some people are born suckers!"
Her words amused Kendrick. And his laughter caused a fit of violent cough.
Natalie hurriedly patted his chest and reminded him, saying, "You must be careful. Those two insidious
may gang up against you."
Kendrick held her finger and lightly kissed it, saying, "I will."
--
Kendrick quickly contacted the people in Audale, saying Natalie would visit Susan.
Susan had said in a daze she wanted a bottle of soil from her hometown. She had been wandering
abroad for many years. Back then, she had left home in a fit of anger. Now, she could no longer return.
But she still missed her hometown and family.
Kendrick and Natalie deliberately went to the place where Susan had lived in childhood. They gathered
a bottle of soil near the Ramsey family's ancestral temple and sealed it.
The Ramsey family had a history of more than one hundred years, so the ancestral temple was
splendid.
Sure enough, there were their iconic Ginkgo family emblems carved into the beams and pillars.
When looking through the genealogy, Kendrick told Natalie the stories of his ancestors' hard journeys
with his eyes shining like stars. The pursuit of excellence and peak was the romance of men.
Natalie looked at him while cupping her cheeks. He looked energetic and idealistic, so she was
obsessed.
Even though he still could not stand up, she believed he would recover sooner or later. When that day
came, the entire world would look up at him.
When Kendrick put the genealogy back, Natalie noticed a pile of red paper next to it.
"What are they?"
A member of the Ramsey family explained, "They are marriage letters."
A hundred years ago, people must have a marriage letter before getting married. People had gradually
abandoned the custom, but it sounded romantic.
Natalie somehow glanced at Kendrick. They had no proposal, engagement, or even wedding. So, their
marriage seemed casual.
Although Kendrick was not a romantic man, his emotional intelligence was normal. So, he ordered,
"Give me a quill and ink!"
Kendrick pursed his lips and rolled his sleeves up, revealing his wiry forearms. When the sunshine from
the skylight lit up his side face, he looked elegant.
He was the son of a wealthy family and had received an elite education since childhood, so it was a
piece of cake for him to write a marriage letter.
Soon, black ink touched the red paper.
It wrote, "Till Death Do Us Apart."
Natalie did not lean over to look until he almost finished it. The quill brushed across the paper,
revealing his deep affection for her.
Natalie leaned on his left shoulder while watching him write. Soon, she slowly lowered her head to
prevent people from seeing her big grin.
He turned to look at her and whispered, "Can you use the quill?"
While speaking, he signed his name.
Natalie suddenly found he was romantic, so she was fascinated by him! Therefore, she did not hear his
question.
Seeing her keep silent, he thought her answer was no. So, he took her hand and said, "I'll teach you!"
Then, he held her small hand and led her to sigh her name stroke by stroke.
Kendrick and Natalie!
His handwriting was neat, free, and elegant, so she thought he must have spent years practicing
calligraphy.
After the ink dried, she carefully folded the wedding letter, intending to keep it well at home.
When she got in the car, the blush on her face had not faded yet. And she was still beaming with joy.
When Kendrick was about to speak, she suddenly turned to look at him and said, "I wish time would
stop at this moment!"
Her silly look amused him. He raised his hand to touch her face and smiled, "What nonsense are you
talking about?"
The days ahead were long. The marriage letter had been completed, so the marriage contract was
effective now. She would belong to him for the rest of her life.
"Give me your left hand," he suddenly said.
Natalie stretched out her hand to him in confusion and spread her palm.
He held her hand, turned it over, and put a delicately woven straw ring on her ring finger.
