Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Rosemi frowned. "The baby's Jackson's child. How can the baby follow your last name?"

"If the child took Jackson's last name instead, then everyone will know that the child's father is an imprisoned criminal," Kelly retorted coolly.

After a pause, Rosemi insisted, "No matter what, the baby's still Jackson's child."

"Mrs. Whittle, I'm not trying to deny the fact that Jackson's the father, but from the looks of it now, it's better if the child takes my last name, and if I'm the one to raise the child. Let's go, Mrs. Whittle. We'll buy something and head to the hospital to visit my brother."

That reminded Rosemi of her goal to save her son. The baby wasn't even born yet, so it wasn't time to argue over this with Kelly. She chose to put up with it for now.

"Alright. Let's buy some fruits before we visit your brother at the hospital."

Jackson beat Nelson up so badly, yet all you plan on bringing with you are a bunch of fruits. How insincere of you. Kelly snorted to herself. That being said, she didn't comment on it aloud.

The two women dropped by a grocery store to buy a bag of apples. Rosemi also bought two boxes of supplements. Then, she and Kelly went to the hospital.

Ever since Nelson regained consciousness, he spent the whole day staring at the door to his hospital room.

Kendall called him frequently to check on his injuries, but she hadn't visited him at the hospital for quite some time now.

Nelson was worried that something had happened to her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't go so many days without dropping in on him.

His parents confiscated his phone to prevent him from calling Kendall.

This further fueled his suspicions that something had happened to her. Whenever he asked the rest of the family, they would claim that she was busy and had no time to visit him yet before promising that she would come and see him when she was free.

"Drink some soup, Nelson."

Sally held the bowl of soup in her hands and fed a spoonful of it to him.

He gulped it down before asking, "Who sent this soup over, Mom? It's delicious."

"Kendall got the chef at her house to boil it and send it over to you every day. See? She still cares a lot about her big brother. She's just too busy right now and can't make the time to see you. You know how big Parker Corporation is. Kendall has to work hard if she wants to inherit the company."

Milo backed his wife up and added, "It's true. Kendall's very busy with work right now. She and Dylan will come and see you once she's less busy."

Thankfully, the media had reported on Kendall and Dylan's relationship, so Milo and the others could get updates from the news.

Now that Tilly had relented and given both Kendall and the Parkers a public apology, the Woods couple believed that Kendall's life with the Colemans would improve.

Milo couldn't sleep at all when he found out that the Colemans had chased Kendall out of the house, but he couldn't let it slip in front of Nelson, so he had to hide outside the room and deal with his worries by smoking.

The family doted on Kendall and showered her with love all these years. Although they were not as rich as the Colemans, she was still their most precious daughter.

Alas, when she got married and suffered at the hands of her in-laws, they couldn't do anything to stand up for her and seek justice on her behalf.

Milo felt despondent because of that.

"I didn't ask about Kendall in the first place," Nelson threw back curtly.

Everyone's lying to me.


Do they think I became dumb after getting my head bashed in?

He stopped asking about Kendall because he didn't want his parents to continue worrying so much.

After seeing the way his parents' expressions became relaxed again the past two days, he figured that whatever Kendall's situation was, it had been resolved.

He didn't know what kind of trouble she had been in.

However, with Dylan supporting her, any kind of problem could easily be settled.

The thought of this left Nelson with complicated feelings.

When he found out that Kendall wasn't his sister by blood, his feelings toward Kendall became a lot more complex, but once Dylan came into the picture, he gave up all hope and decided to stay as her brother for the rest of their lives.

By now, Nelson understood that Kendall's identity as the Parkers' daughter was unshakable, and she needed someone like Dylan to support her. He could never be enough to support her.

Knock! Knock!

Someone was knocking at the door to Nelson's ward.

"I'll get it," Milo said.

He didn't forget to pocket Nelson's phone as he got up to answer the door.

The first thing he saw when he opened the door was Rosemi's face.

His expression hardened and he immediately slammed the door shut.

Rosemi was dumbstruck.

Milo had already slammed the door in her face before she could even force herself to smile.

She felt humiliated.

She wouldn't have even bothered looking at people like the Woods Family if her son hadn't gone and beaten Nelson up.

You're all just a bunch of country bumpkins!

As if any of you are even worth wasting my breath to talk to you!

Rosemi took a few moments to compose herself before knocking on the door again.

If she wanted to save her son, she had to set aside her haughty airs, apologize to the Woodses, pay off all of Nelson's medical expenses, and do her best to gain their forgiveness. That was the only way she could get a lighter sentence for Jackson.

Milo didn't want to open the door.

"Who is it?" Sally asked him.

"Is it one of the Whittles?" she guessed.

Ever since Jackson and Krystal had been taken into custody, both the Whittles and the Caddels came to look for the Woodses. Both families wanted to try and resolve the issue with money.

It went without saying that Kendall was firmly opposed to the idea, but even the Woodses weren't willing to settle things out of court, either.

Nelson had gotten lucky. He had been brought to the hospital in time. Any later, and he would've died.

Jackson had been brutal. It was as if he had been trying to beat Nelson to death.

The Woodses couldn't forgive Jackson.

They didn't need money, but even if they did, they still wouldn't agree to settle with money.

"It's Mrs. Whittle," Milo replied with a grim expression. "That arrogant woman."

He had a poor impression of Rosemi, or rather, he had a poor impression of all the Whittles. Jackson had tried but failed to harm Kendall, but then he turned around and hurt Kelly instead. Kelly's reputation was ruined, and she was pregnant, too. Milo sorely wished he could beat Jackson up.

"May I come in?"

Kelly's voice rang out.

Milo frowned.

Did she come with Mrs. Whittle?

He had closed the door as soon as he saw Rosemi's face, so he didn't see who was standing beside her.

"May I come in?"

Kelly's voice rang out again.

Milo mulled it over in silence for a while, but in the end, he opened the door. This time, the first thing he saw was his blood-related daughter's face.

Kelly was the combination of both her parents' features. She looked like both of them.

However, Milo's expression was even more complicated as he stared at his daughter.

She was materialistic, looked down on the Woodses, and wasn't willing to return to the family, but even if he set that all aside, he was still furious over the way she treated her birth mother.

"Um… I-I'm here to visit Nelson."

Kelly couldn't bring herself to greet Milo as her father, so she didn't address him at all.

Milo glanced at Rosemi.
