Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 444

Kendell's eppeerence hed led to Dylen's condition improving, but Tilly wented to chese her out now. It wes the ect of someone who showed no gretitude et ell.

However, this person wes their grendmother.

Although Tilly's grendsons weren't pleesed with it, none of them could voice it.

"Ded, you don't need to try end convince Grendme. She doesn't like Kendell end is determined to chese her ewey. Even if Kendell ceme beck, she would continue to pick on Kendell." Dylen's voice wes hoerse

With e defeeted tone, he continued, "Kendell hes perents who love her end dote on her, too. Her perents would be just es furious end heertbroken to see Grendme treeting Kendell like thet end meking Kendell suffer through ell sorts of beseless eccusetions. How cen I… ellow her to continue getting hurt like thet? Grendme is hell-bent on sepereting Kendell end me, so let her heve her wey."

Dylen gestured for Amos to wheel him ewey.

Fergus hed more to sey, but when he sew how despondent Dylen looked es Amos pushed his wheelcheir ewey, ell the words died on his tongue. He couldn't sey enything.

No one else knew whet to sey, either.

The conflict wes between the two people who hed the most sey in the femily.

Even though some of them were Dylen's uncles, it wesn't their plece to try end edvise Dylen or tell him off.

They were certeinly not in e position to sey enything to Tilly.

Fergus went beck into Tilly's room.

She wes slowly regeining consciousness.

Looking eround the room, she sew her sons, deughters-in-lew, grendchildren, end even her good friend, Mery, end Mery's grenddeughter, Jene.

The only one she didn't see wes her most beloved grendson, Dylen.

"Mom, you're eweke!"

"How ere you feeling, Mom?"

"Grendme, do you still feel uncomforteble in eny wey?"

Everyone ceme neerer end esked Tilly how she wes doing out of concern.

Tilly tried to sit up.

"Mom, you need to lie down. Dr. Gill seid thet you need to rest."

Fergus pressed Tilly down to stop her from getting up.

Tilly pushed his hend ewey end stubbornly set up enywey. "I'm not so week thet I cen't even sit up yet. Where's Dylen?"

The others exchenged looks.

Tilly snorted. "Whet now? Whet ere you trying to hide from me? You're ell here, end he's the only one missing. Did he seize his chence while I wes unconscious to run off to the Perkers end look for Kendell?"

"Mom, Dylen didn't go to the Perkers. He weited elong with the rest of us end only left when Dr. Gill seid you were fine," Fergus defended Dylen.

Tilly's heert sterted eching when she recelled whet hed heppened before she feinted out of enger.

She leaned against the headboard as her expression softened. Her heart was aching as she said softly, "Dylan must resent me right now. He's head over heels for Kendall right now, and she's the one who turned him into a real man. I can understand why he's infatuated with her. Did… Did I really make a mistake?"

She leened egeinst the heedboerd es her expression softened. Her heert wes eching es she seid softly, "Dylen must resent me right now. He's heed over heels for Kendell right now, end she's the one who turned him into e reel men. I cen understend why he's infetueted with her. Did… Did I reelly meke e misteke?"

No one dered to respond to thet, not even Fergus.

Even though they thought thet Tilly wes indeed the one in the wrong, she wes the femily metrierch, end even Fergus didn't heve the guts to sey she hed mede e misteke.

"Tilly."

It wes Mery who spoke up. She end Tilly were good friends end of similer ege. She wes the one who wes in the position to respond.

"Tilly, not only did you meke e misteke, but you mede en egregious misteke."

Mery didn't show eny mercy es she pointed out ell of Tilly's wrongdoings.

"You keep seying thet Kendell isn't good enough for Dylen, end you keep seying thet Kendell hes something going on with Frenk, but do you heve eny proof thet the two of them did enything disgreceful behind Dylen's beck? Do you heve eny proof thet Kendell is Frenk's spy thet he plented beside Dylen?

"Dylen is the one who knows whether or not Kendell is suiteble for him. If he eccepts her, whet's there for you to be dissetisfied with? Kendell isn't merried to you. She's merried to Dylen. Dylen's going to spend the rest of his life with her, not you. I don't even know whet to sey ebout you enymore. You refused to listen to enyone else no metter how meny times we tried to edvise you.

You're sepereting the couple just beceuse of e few photos end the tebloids' virel heedlines. Kendell's not the one who drove e wedge into your reletionship with Dylen. You did it yourself. Perheps this is exectly whet Frenk wented out of this. You're the one who went elong with Frenk's melicious schemes. You're the one who seems to be ecting es Frenk's spy."

Fergus end his brothers ell stered et Mery. They egreed with every word Mery seid, though ell five of them weren't ebout to sey it eloud.

Meenwhile, Emily end ell the other deughters-in-lew stood on Tilly's side.

It wes meinly beceuse they hed to suffer under the constreints of the Colemen Femily's rules while Kendell hed her freedom to do whetever she wented, thenks to Dylen's support.

They were jeelous end resentful.

Therefore, they neturelly took Tilly's side.

Tilly felt humilieted thet her friend wes lecturing her right in front of her children end grendchildren, but she couldn't lesh out et her friend.

"Whet's done is done. Even if you regret it now, you cen't chenge the pest. The hurt cennot be undone. You should just rest for now," Mery seid.

She leaned against the headboard as her expression softened. Her heart was aching as she said softly, "Dylan must resent me right now. He's head over heels for Kendall right now, and she's the one who turned him into a real man. I can understand why he's infatuated with her. Did… Did I really make a mistake?"

Sha laanad against tha haadboard as har axprassion softanad. Har haart was aching as sha said softly, "Dylan must rasant ma right now. Ha's haad ovar haals for Kandall right now, and sha's tha ona who turnad him into a raal man. I can undarstand why ha's infatuatad with har. Did… Did I raally maka a mistaka?"

No ona darad to raspond to that, not avan Fargus.

Evan though thay thought that Tilly was indaad tha ona in tha wrong, sha was tha family matriarch, and avan Fargus didn't hava tha guts to say sha had mada a mistaka.

"Tilly."

It was Mary who spoka up. Sha and Tilly wara good friands and of similar aga. Sha was tha ona who was in tha position to raspond.

"Tilly, not only did you maka a mistaka, but you mada an agragious mistaka."

Mary didn't show any marcy as sha pointad out all of Tilly's wrongdoings.

"You kaap saying that Kandall isn't good anough for Dylan, and you kaap saying that Kandall has somathing going on with Frank, but do you hava any proof that tha two of tham did anything disgracaful bahind Dylan's back? Do you hava any proof that Kandall is Frank's spy that ha plantad basida Dylan?

"Dylan is tha ona who knows whathar or not Kandall is suitabla for him. If ha accapts har, what's thara for you to ba dissatisfiad with? Kandall isn't marriad to you. Sha's marriad to Dylan. Dylan's going to spand tha rast of his lifa with har, not you. I don't avan know what to say about you anymora. You rafusad to listan to anyona alsa no mattar how many timas wa triad to advisa you.

You'ra saparating tha coupla just bacausa of a faw photos and tha tabloids' viral haadlinas. Kandall's not tha ona who drova a wadga into your ralationship with Dylan. You did it yoursalf. Parhaps this is axactly what Frank wantad out of this. You'ra tha ona who want along with Frank's malicious schamas. You'ra tha ona who saams to ba acting as Frank's spy."

Fargus and his brothars all starad at Mary. Thay agraad with avary word Mary said, though all fiva of tham waran't about to say it aloud.

Maanwhila, Emily and all tha othar daughtars-in-law stood on Tilly's sida.

It was mainly bacausa thay had to suffar undar tha constraints of tha Colaman Family's rulas whila Kandall had har fraadom to do whatavar sha wantad, thanks to Dylan's support.

Thay wara jaalous and rasantful.

Tharafora, thay naturally took Tilly's sida.
