Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 483

The moment Kelly and Rosemi came in, Nelson closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He didn't want to see either of them.

Kelly was miffed, but she didn't show it. Nelson did get himself injured because he helped her out.

"Mr. and Mrs. Woods, I'm very sorry about what happened. Is Nelson getting better?" Rosemi smiled sheepishly and handed the gifts to Sally.

However, Sally refused to take it, so Rosemi had no choice but to place the gifts on the bedside cabinet instead. "I know apologies are worth nothing, but I still want to say I'm sorry for what my son did. None of us wanted this. They're young. Accidents happen."

She had wanted to say Nelson did it first but ultimately decided against it. Pointing fingers was pointless at this point. Nelson might have thrown the first punch, but he was unarmed; he didn't use any weapons. On the other hand, her son used a fire extinguisher. One wrong move with that kind of item could cost someone their life.

This is all Krystal's fault. If she hadn't taken that fire extinguisher, none of this would have happened. My son wouldn't have been arrested. She never liked Krystal to begin with. The only reason her son married her was due to the fact he had to take responsibility.

At first, they could at least get some connection with the Zorns through the Caddels, but now that the Zorns had stopped working with them and that the Caddels were coming after them, Rosemi's distaste for Krystal started showing. She'd rather have her son marry someone like Kendall at this point.

"It's not all Jackson's fault. Please forgive him, for the sake of Kelly's child. I know he shouldn't have hurt Nelson. I'll make him apologize when he's released. Kelly's pregnant with his child, and you're going to be grandparents, so can't you just forgive Jackson since he's the child's father? We're a family here. You don't want the baby to be born without a father, do you?" And now she started emotionally blackmailing everyone.

"I will not sign the papers." Nelson opened his eyes and icily said, "Dad, Mom, I need some peace. They have to leave."

He was disappointed by Kelly's total silence. He stood up for her when Jackson dumped her, but the guy knocked him out with a fire extinguisher and almost killed him. And what did Kelly do?

This was her first visit since he regained consciousness, and she came with Rosemi, too. He was sure she would never come if Rosemi hadn't forced her into this, not even until he was discharged. I helped her for nothing. I almost died, and now she's trying to convince me into helping Jackson get a lighter sentence. What a disappointment.

The Woodses asked Rosemi to leave. "Mrs. Whittle, you need to leave."

Panic-stricken, Rosemi pulled at Kelly, trying to ask for her help.

Before Kelly could say anything, Nelson added coldly, "You weren't raised in our household, but our blood flows in your veins. We're siblings, but I don't need you to thank me. I bet you think I'm annoying. You'd ignore me even when I'm dying all because of a man who dumped you. If you're here to help Jackson out, then I advise you never to come again. I don't want to see you."

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing. Her parents pushed her out and slammed the door shut. Rosemi kept banging on the door and only gave up when she received no response.

"Why didn't you help me out, Kelly?" Rosemi grumbled.

Kelly answered coolly, "What do you expect me to say? Those are my parents, and Nelson's my real brother. He's hurt because of me. What do you want me to say? Jackson might be my baby's father, but he's not my husband. Why should I help him? He's nothing but my ex. I have things to settle back in the company. Goodbye, Mrs. Whittle."

She never wanted to help Jackson anyway. This was the perfect excuse to stay away from this case. Before she left, she added, "Mrs. Whittle, there's no use asking me for help. They listen to Kendall more than they listen to me. If you want to ask for help, go to Kendall instead. But I recall you guys played a part in her getting kicked out of the Coleman household, so I'm pretty sure Master Dylan is going to come at you sooner or later. Congratulations, you just played yourself."

With that, Kelly left without even turning around to look at Rosemi, whose face had turned sullen.

"Kelly? Kelly!" Rosemi called out after her, but Kelly didn't stop. She muttered, "She's changed."

She used to care about Jackson a lot, but now, she doesn't even give a crap about him even though he's about to be prisoned. But I guess it's our fault that she doesn't care anymore.

Still, Rosemi suspected Kelly was planning on getting an abortion to start anew. I have no idea how long Jackson's gonna stay imprisoned. And I heard Brian fancies Kelly, too.

Now, her expression was as black as thunder. I cannot let this happen. She carries a child of the Whittles. If she aborts it, Jackson will lose the only thing that ties him to her. It'll be impossible for him to stand back up. If the child remains, at least he has a reason to get close to Kelly. Even if he can't convince her to get back with him, at least he can make her cough up some money.

We still have some funds for now. I'm going to hire someone to keep an eye on Kelly. If she does try to abort the child, I can stop her in time.

The Woodses tossed Rosemi behind their minds after they chased her out. Sally quickly came back to her son. "Don't take it to heart, Nelson. Kelly didn't mean it."

"If she doesn't think of me as her brother, then she's not my sister. Fool me once, shame on them. There won't be a second time." Nelson said coldly, "I'm an idiot. You're her mother, but she barely came to see you when you were in the hospital after that car accident. Remember what Kendall said? If it weren't for Mrs. Parker, she wouldn't even have come. If she doesn't even care about her mother, how can I expect her to even care about me?"

"From now on, Kendall's my only sister." Someone as heartless as Kelly, I'd rather not have her as my sister.
