Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Meanwhile, Dylan happened to step out of his bathroom, sitting in his wheelchair just when he heard a knock on the door. "Young Master Dylan, are you asleep?" While Amos' voice was heard from the other side of the door, he wheeled himself toward the door and opened it, whereupon he was greeted by the butler. "Young Master Dylan, Young Mistress Kendall is still not back, and it's already 11.30 PM now." He added in a concerned manner, "Old Madam Coleman should be long asleep by now."

Dylan knitted his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know why Grandma sent for Kendall, Amos? You must have told her that I'm going to accept my physiotherapy treatment, right?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master Dylan." Amos realized that he had just put Kendall in trouble. After all, while Tilly was already unhappy with Kendall, the fact that she returned home late only added to her dissatisfaction. Thus, he believed Tilly must have been so mad that she had sent for Kendall to lock her up in the main house. At the thought of that, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment was waiting for Kendall.

On the other hand, Dylan didn't seem to blame that on Amos. Instead, he instructed him to bring Kendall back. "Get her back here now. Tell Tia that I'm hungry, and I need her to make me supper."

"Alright, Young Master Dylan. I'll do it right away." With Dylan's order, Amos now had a reason to get Kendall out of her dilemma as he hurriedly left the place.

Meanwhile, Kendall fell asleep with Alice in the latter's room right after the two ladies chatted for a bit until they were awoken by a loud noise outside. "What's going on?"

Alice sat bolt upright and grabbed her sleeping robe to put it on. Then, she looked at Kendall and said, "Stay here. I'm going to check out what's going on."

"I'll come with you." Kendall was just as curious to know what was going on.

In the meantime, the main house was brightened up with lights, with every maid who worked there busy looking for Kendall. Despite going through every nook and cranny in the main house, except Tilly and Alice's room, they couldn't find any signs of Kendall. "Shh! Keep your voice down. You don't want to wake Old Madam Tilly and Miss Alice from their sleep." Tia urged her people to keep their voices down.

"Tia, what are we going to do if we can't find Young Mistress Kendall? Young Master Dylan wants her back now." Vivian was so worried that her face changed. After all, it was her who escorted Kendall away from Dylan. Thus, she was afraid that Dylan would blame it on her now that Kendall was nowhere to be found. At the thought of Dylan's stern look, she began to shake like a leaf.

Soon, Amos wondered and asked, "Do you think she sneaked out climbing over the wall? She is not familiar with this area, so she could easily get lost out there. So, why don't we go out there and search for her? But of course, we can't let our young masters know about that." Especially Young Master Dylan.

"You think she climbed over the wall?" Tia shifted her eyes to the wall that was six feet high.

Amos then explained why he thought that way. "Young Mistress Kendall used to run a training institution, having been trained in Taekwondo and sparring. So, she definitely has what it takes to climb over the wall."

"Then, she might have likely climbed over the wall and sneaked out." Tia proceeded to instruct her people to change their focus elsewhere. "Search for her outside the main house. I'll see if I can find anything useful from the security footage." As she was about to walk away, she saw two ladies looking at them curiously by the door. At that moment, Tia was rendered speechless by what she saw after all the trouble she and her people went through to find Kendall, only to realize that she had hit it off with Alice and was sleeping in her room with her until they came. Well, if we didn't wake them up from their sleep, we'd still be searching for them probably until dawn.

"What are you guys searching for, Tia?"

"Miss Alice, Young Master Dylan would like Young Mistress Kendall back to make him supper, so he sent Amos here to collect her, but when I went upstairs earlier, she was nowhere to be found, which was why I gathered everyone around to search for her, only to realize she was with you all the time."

Alice grunted indifferently, feeling annoyed as she thought her brother would send someone to pick Kendall up within half an hour, but in the end, she ended up falling asleep before that happened. Well, what do you expect, Dylan? Your people took longer than they should to get your wife, so don't you blame it on me for that.

"Young Mistress Kendall, Master Dylan would like you to make him supper, so please hurry up and go back with Amos. Don't let Young Master Dylan wait any longer." Tia heaved a sigh of relief and urged Kendall to make a move. After all the trouble that night, everyone in the main house could finally see how important Kendall was to Dylan.

About ten minutes later, Kendall entered the house and was greeted by the sight of the man who was waiting for her in the living room. She then walked toward the kitchen and asked, "What's your craving, Dylan?"

"No need for that." Dylan added coldly, "The supper was just an excuse for Amos to get you back here. Go back to your room and get some sleep."

Kendall was stunned as she turned around and looked at the man who appeared to be indifferent. Then, she walked up to Dylan and bent over, helping him sit in his wheelchair before wheeling him to her room. "That's not my room."

"You own the entire building, so tell me which room isn't yours."
