Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 260

At best, by saving Scott's life, Kendall made the Ford Family owe her a huge favor, so she could ask the family for help in the future.

The Ford Family had a huge network. If Kendall asked for help, their network could help her look up any information.

"Young Master Dylan, are we going to the company or home?"

"Home."

"Yes, sir."

Kendal remembered she had asked for leave and it was fine for her to go home, so she didn't say anything.

"Dylan, darling, don't be mad, alright?" Kendall took Dylan's arm and softly apologized, "I was wrong. Please don't be angry. You will get old if you stay angry. I'm still young; I can't let you get old ahead of me."

Dylan was a couple of years older than her.

Dylan snorted coldly in response. "No, you're right. You're brave and invincible. You can fight against two men and hospitalize them. You're a hero, so of course you are right."

Kendall choked at that.

Dylan's sarcasm could make a corpse roll in its grave.

"T-That was just a coincidence. Anyone else would have done the same."

Dylan inclined his head and looked at her coldly.

I will never believe that it was a mere coincidence.

Kendall felt guilty under his gaze.

She wanted to kiss him to make him forgive her as usual. However, before she could do that, Dylan pushed her face away.

"I will deal with you when we get back."

Kendall shuddered in fright when she heard that.

…

On the private helicopter, Eric asked his son, "Scott, do you like Miss Parker?"

"Daddy, Lady Parker is kind and pretty. I like her very much. She has some kind of… scent on her, so I like her."

Eric reached out to pat Scott's head and said, "She is your savior. You may like her, but you can't say she smells like Mom."

"Why not?" Scott blinked as his expression filled with confusion. "Lady Parker really smells like Mom."

After a brief silence, Eric patiently explained, "Lady Parker is already married, so she has a husband. Her husband doesn't like hearing you say she smells like Mom, so if you want to meet her again, you mustn't say that."

However, Scott still didn't understand. "Can't I tell a married woman that she smells like Mom?"

"You can't, as it would give her husband the wrong idea."

Scott understood that, and he didn't want Kendall to be misunderstood.

"Okay, I won't say that again. Dad, when is Mom going to wake up? Why does she have to sleep for so long? I have never been hugged by Mom. My classmates said that their mother's arms feel safe, and that is a mother's scent. I feel safe being hugged by Lady Parker."

Eric felt distressed upon hearing that.

That's why he said that Kendall's arms smelled like a mother's. My wife has been vegetative for many years and still won't wake up. My parents persuaded me to find another woman even if I didn't want to get married, which I refused. I'll wait for my wife to wake up, even if I have to wait a lifetime. I will never marry again, even if she eventually passes away. My heart doesn't have any more space for another person.

"Scott, your mother will definitely wake up. After school, you should talk to your mom when you're free. She can hear you."

His wife had already been discharged from the hospital and stayed in the Ford Residence.

Hence, Eric would make time every day to talk to his wife.

"Mom still doesn't wake up and answer me despite the fact I talk to her every day."

Scott loved his mother, too; it was just that his mother was different from others.

He never understood why his mother kept sleeping.

Upon hearing that, Eric felt something slice his heart open.

However, he could only say, "Your mom will wake up. Someday, she will wake up, and then she can hug you and let you understand what a mother's scent is."

Scott's expression was hopeful as he announced, "Daddy, I will talk to Mom and try to wake her up daily. I want Mom to hug me."

Eric stroked Scott's head upon hearing that. "You're a good boy."

May God stop torturing my family. Please let my wife wake up soon.

…

There was a large lotus pond in the Coleman Residence.

The lotus flowers were still in full bloom, although it was already July.

The sun was gentle in the evening, without the savage heat it presented at noon.

The wooden bridge built across the lotus pond traversed the whole pond. Presently, Jane and Alice had a pet dog in their arms, along with several dogs in tow as they strolled across the bridge.

"After all those years abroad, the thing I miss most is the lotus flowers at your house, which are especially abundant and beautiful." Then, Jane looked around at the lotus flowers around her and laughed. "When we were little, I brought you to pick lotus pods, and we both ended up falling into the water and getting covered in mud."

Alice smiled at the memories. "Dylan wanted to punish me back then, and he frightened me. My legs still tremble when I think about it."

"Yeah, Master Dylan is scary."
