Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 59

When Kelly saw the siblings, she stopped and asked Nelson concernedly, "How is she?"

In the end, Kelly couldn't address Sally as her mom.

She grew up in the Parker Family and was used to calling Charlotte her mother instead.

On the other hand, she had only met her birth mother once.

"Mom is in there. You will know after you go in."

Kelly still came, so Nelson treated her better.

Kendall glanced at Kelly. The latter had come here despite Nelson saying otherwise.

Hence, Kendall felt that Kelly was not sincerely visiting her mom.

However, no matter what, Mom will be happy to see her.

"Kendall, let's go in together."

Kelly took Kendall's hand affectionately and opened the door.

Sally was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale. The blood pressure monitoring device was on the left side of the bed, and the drip was on the right side.

"Mom."

When Kendall saw her adoptive mother, she cried out in distress. She broke free from Kelly's hand and sat at the bedside.

Hearing the familiar cry, Sally opened her eyes and saw that it was Kendall. At that, she smiled weakly. "Kendall, is that you? I'm not mistaken, right?"

"Mom, it's me. I'm here to see you."

Then, Kendall turned her head and said to Kelly, who was standing beside her, "Come on, you can talk to your mom."

Now, Sally finally saw her birth daughter beside Kendall, and her expression lit up.

She looked at Kelly expectantly, hoping that Kelly would call her mom.

However, Kelly looked at her calmly, without the slightest fluctuation.

There was only disgust in her eyes.

Sally was about the same age as Charlotte. However, due to years of hard work and poor maintenance, Sally looked way older than Charlotte. Sally had white hair on her head and wrinkles on her face, and she looked way different from the pampered lady like Charlotte.

"Miss Sanders."

Kelly turned her head and called for Cameron.

"Yes, Vice President Parker?"

Then, Cameron hurried forward and put down the fruit basket before handing the flower bouquet to Kelly.

After taking the bouquet, Kelly put the flowers beside Sally and said, "I hope you like the bouquet of flowers that I got. I bought a basket of fruits as well. When you're feeling better, you can have the fruits."

After speaking, Kelly opened her bag again and took out a stack of cash from it, more than what she had given Nelson.

She put the wad of cash on the quilt and looked at Sally's wrinkled face.

Kelly's voice was gentle but lacked emotion when she said, "There's 20,000 here. You should use the money to eat something healthy. Don't be afraid to use it; just tell me if you have exhausted it. I'll give you more."

Sally was disappointed because Kelly would not address her as Mom. However, the older woman forced a smile on her face. "Kelly, I'm happy that you're willing to visit me. I don't want your money, though. Take it back."

Sally then looked at Nelson. "Nell, take the cash and give it back to your sister."

The driver who hit her paid the medical bills, and the insurance company paid for the accident too. The driver promised that he would pay her another sum too.

Hence, there was no future medical expenses shortage for her.

What Sally wanted was her birth daughter to address her as her mother.

Nelson immediately picked up the 20,000 on the quilt and handed it back to Kelly.

Kelly refused to accept it and said calmly, "I'm busy with work, so I can't stay here long. The only thing I can give you is my money. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad. Do you want to see me sad?"

Kelly then took the cash and put it back on Sally's quilt.

"Kendall, I'm going back to the meeting. You should stay with her more often."

After speaking, Kelly hurried out with Cameron.

Truth was, she didn't want to visit her birth mother at all. It was her adoptive mother who reminded her about the accident, and Kelly only visited Sally because she didn't want her adoptive mother to think she was cruel.

"Kelly!"

Kendall chased after and stopped her.

Kelly turned around upon hearing that.

"Kelly, that's your birth mother. She got into a car accident because she wanted to meet you! Since you're here, can't you stay for another few minutes for her? Is your work more important than your mom?"

Kelly signaled Cameron to go downstairs and wait for her.

After he left, she walked to Kendall and smiled brightly and sweetly, which Kendall was not happy about and wanted to slap her for it.

How dare she still smile with brilliance after her birth mother was involved in a car accident?!

"She has you. She's the one who raised you. Kendall, you call her mom and you have deep feelings for each other. You should stay with her instead of me."

"Although she is my mother, she has never raised me. I couldn't bring myself to call her mom. My mother has always been Charlotte in my heart."

To Kelly, Kendall was the one who came to fight for Kelly's mother and everything that belonged to her.

People like Kendall should stay with someone like Sally.

Kelly reached out and straightened Kendall's clothes. "Kendall, you should stay with your mom. I'll leave now. If you need any help, just call me."

After saying that, she turned around. With her head held high, she left.

With an expressionless face, Kendall watched Kelly leave.

After a moment, she recollected her thoughts. Turning around, she then returned to the ward.
