Chapter 17 A Slap in the Face
Natalie immediately bounced off the chair.
It was estimated that Seth was old and suffered from a weak heart, so he had a sudden shock.
Natalie reached out to test whether Mr. Seth was still breathing.
Fortunately, Mr. Seth was breathing.
Then Natalie reached out to touch Mr. Seth's carotid artery.
Ten seconds later, Natalie found that Mr. Seth's carotid artery was not pulsating.
It was a cardiac arrest.
Natalie promptly pressed her fists on Seth's lower median sternum quickly and firmly.
After one compression, Mr. Seth's carotid artery was still not beating.
Natalie punched again.
There was still no beating.
When Natalie did it the third time, the door suddenly opened.
A sharp female voice sounded, "What are you doing?"
Natalie had no time to tell who it was because she was concentrating on cardiopulmonary resuscitation
and could not be disturbed by any sound.
"Get her out of here, Brett. Get her out of here now."
One hand stretched out to grab Natalie's wrist which was about to press again for cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.
That hand grasped Natalie's wrist with great force.
Natalie felt that her bones would crack in pain.
"Let me go!" Natalie turned to glare at the person who was pulling her wrist, "Let me go right now if you
don't want your grandpa to die."
As soon as Brett got home, he heard something from upstairs, so he quickly went upstairs to see what
happened.
At this moment, Natalie's glare filled Brett with dread, so he involuntarily loosened his grip and let her
go.
Natalie quickly reached to test whether Mr. Seth's carotid artery was pulsating.
Great to feel Mr. Seth's carotid artery was beating.
Natalie took a long sigh of relief immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move Seth's body, or
you'll be responsible for the consequences."
Then Natalie checked Seth's pupils and found that they had shrank a little.
The color of Seth's lips and nails also slowly returned to normal.
Two family emergency doctors arrived quickly. They tested Seth's heartbeat and pulse and determined
that he was not in any serious condition. At this time, Seth had regained consciousness, so the doctors
quickly transported him to the spacious place in his bedroom.
Natalie had intended to follow the doctors to know more about Seth's health.
As soon as Natalie stood up, she was blocked.
Then a sharp palm wind came over Natalie's ear.
Natalie was slapped hard in the face.
Natalie was highly strung and she did not even have time to react. In addition, her legs and feet were
numb after squatting for a long time. Her face was turned aside by the slap, and she barely stood firm
with her hands on the table.
Natalie's ears were buzzing.
There was blood in Natalie's mouth.
"Natalie, what did you say to my father to make him suddenly faint."
Nancy raised her hand again in a rage.
"Stop it!"
Kendrick had heard the clear sound of the slap outside, and he clenched the arms of his wheelchair.
This was the first time he hated his inability to walk.
Nancy's husband was afraid it was hard to wind this matter up, so he hurriedly hugged her to calm her
down after hearing Kendrick's voice.
"How can I calm down? My father is in a coma. How can you ask me to calm down?" Nancy was so
angry that she stamped her feet. Natalie's contradiction which made Nancy lose face had already
made Nancy extremely angry, and she even lost control to slap Natalie in her face.
Natalie raised to look at Nancy calmly, "I didn't say anything else. We just communicated normally.
Grandpa fainted because of sudden shock caused by cardiac inefficiency and insufficient blood supply
in his old age. I have given him first aid, and there is nothing serious about it. He'll wake up soon."
At this time, Natalie kept calm because she had to explain at this very moment.
The sound of the wheelchair came from far and near.
When Natalie finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand being held. She turned around and found it
was Kendrick.
Kendrick's eyes were rather complicated, hidden in the black eyes were anger, distress, and regret.
Natalie looked at Kendrick with a smile. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Grandpa should be
awake."
"Just sit down, Nat. Maggie, go get some ice packs."
Maggie immediately turned to go downstairs.
After a while, the housekeeper came to inform them that Mr. Seth was okay at this time, and he was
very grateful to Mrs. Ramsey for giving him first aid properly. If Mrs. Ramsey gave Mr. Seth first aid a
few minutes later, he might be dead.
Kendrick frowned and asked, "Is grandpa alright?"
"Mr. Seth is not in danger for the time being. He just needs to rest."
"Great!"
Kendrick's words made other people feel scared inexplicably.
Maggie took the ice pack, and she heard Kendrick say politely, "Maggie, close the door, please."
Hearing this, Maggie's heartbeat doubled immediately, and she had a premonition that something
would happen.
Kendrick took the ice pack, and said to Natalie in a gentle voice, "Your face needs to apply ice."
The moment the ice pack touched Natalie's face, she hissed in pain.
A tear fell on the back of Kendrick's hand.
Kendrick frowned instantly.
Kendrick asked Natalie to hold the ice pack first, then he slowly turned around and said, "It's clear that
grandpa suffered a sudden shock, which has nothing to do with Nat. The doctor also said that her
proper first aid saved grandpa from danger."
Kendrick stared at Brett, and then pressed his brows. His voice sounded a little tired, "Those who
misunderstood Natalie should apologize to her now."
Kendrick's eyes were fixed on Brett.
Brett stood there hesitating for a while.
To apologize?
Everyone knew that Brett was famous for his bad temper, and he could not apologize to others.
However, at this moment, Kendrick acted like he would not stop until Brett apologized to Natalie.
Brett thought that it might be because Natalie was Kendrick's newly married wife, so Kendrick loved her
very much.
A great man knew when to yield and when not. Although Brett has a bad temper, he was not a man
who could not tell right from wrong.
Therefore, Brett took a deep breath and decided to apologize to Natalie. He stepped forward and said
sincerely, "Nat, I'm sorry that I offended you under the anxiety. Forgive me, please."
Brett was Mr. Seth's eldest grandson.
No one in the Ramsey's mansion dared to make him lose face.
The one who dared to make him apologize - was Kendrick who looked gentle but was powerful.
"I accept your apology," Natalie replied.
Outwardly, Natalie seemed to forgive Brett, but in fact, she accepted his apology because he was Brett,
or she must give him hell because he almost crushed her wrist. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
After apologizing, Brett pulled Maggie out.
Maggie refused to leave because she wanted to watch what would happen next, but she was dragged
out by Brett with a glare.
Nancy was, of course, unlikely to apologize, and she hated her husband for stopping her from slapping
Natalie in the face twice.
Nancy snorted coldly and also wanted to turn to leave.
A calm but menacing male voice sounded from behind, "If you dare to step out of this door today, you'll
never set foot in the Ramsey's mansion again."
Nancy could not believe what she had heard.
Not only Nancy but other people at the scene were shocked.
How could Mr. Ramsey, the one who had always felt at peace with the world and kept a low profile, be
so ruthless all of a sudden?
Nancy turned around, and her voice changed in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Are you
threatening me? How dare you! I am your elder, Kendrick!" Nancy spluttered with indignation, "You
think you can control me? What if I have to go?"
Kendrick smiled instead of being in anger, "You can try it!"
Kendrick's lips curled up as if he was smiling, but there was no warmth in his eyes. His eyes were like
thin ice blades directly against Nancy's throat, which made her feel cold and painful. She lost all
confidence instantly.
"Nancy, just apologize to Natalie!" Her husband stepped forward to persuade her. He was in Kendrick's
employ. Nancy was used to being a rich lady, so she did not know Kendrick's way of doing things, but
her husband knew.
Kendrick's way of doing things was like a sharp blade lying across your neck without making a sound.
