Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 562

After everyone else took a look at Dylan's deep, passionate gaze toward Kendall, the answer couldn't be any clearer. It must be a piece of auspicious, good news. Even though it wasn't a hundred percent certain, the Woodses were already excited for the young couple. Moreover, with how Sally advised Kendall not to spread the news, the rest instantly knew what was up and refrained from questioning it.

Knock, knock! Someone knocked on the ward door before the door opened.

Then, Ronnie walked in and respectfully reported, "Young Master Dylan, the vehicle is ready."

"Mm-hmm." Dylan then turned to his mother-in-law and stated, "Mom, I've readied an RV for you so you can relax on your way home. More importantly, Nell's body has yet to recover fully, and the RV can certainly help with that."

Without refusing Dylan's kind offer, Sally happily replied, "You're always so thoughtful." She then put Kendall's hand in that of Dylan's before sternly continuing, "Master Dylan, I shall leave Kendall in your hands. Take good care of her, will you?" As well as the child in her.

"Mom, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I'll never let anyone hurt Kendall."

The baby would safely return to his and Kendall's side for sure.

The Woodses acknowledged Dylan's promise and believed that he was capable of fulfilling it.

Later, upon farewell, Milo, Sally, and Nell entered the RV prepared by Dylan and departed from the hospital.

Then, Kendall looked at the time and found that it was already noon. She turned to look at Roger. "Roger, come join us for lunch. I'll go get Emma as well. It's her first day as an official member of Parker Corporation."

Emma was to be her secretary, but she didn't go to work this morning. Because of that, Kendall felt somewhat sorry for her.

Fortunately, she'd given her father a heads-up and communicated with Jessie in advance. As such, her father would help her arrange everything else.

Looking at Dylan, Roger rejected his sister's invitation and smilingly replied, "Maybe next time. Emma has yet to get off work, so I'll wait and have lunch with her once she's finished." With that, he speedily glanced at Dylan and added, "Can't let Mr. Heller have the upper hand, can I?"

Toddy was Dylan's competent assistant and good friend. Dylan was aware of whom he should value more between his good friend and brother-in-law. Besides, Toddy had just commenced his gratifying phase, so Dylan showed zero sympathies for him.

"Then we shan't trouble you further, Roger."

Roger responded with a smile. As he watched his sister get in Dylan's car, the couple then left the hospital escorted by their bodyguards' vehicles.

"Roger Woods." All of a sudden, a shout in a familiar tone sounded behind him. At once, the smile on his face vanished as the person who called for him was his very biological sister—Kelly.

Kelly derided the Woodses for not being as wealthy and influential as the Parkers who owned a giant corporation that could grant her certain inheritance. Even to this day, she had never referred to Roger as her own brother, nor had she ever addressed her parents as "Dad" and "Mom." What she had done earned Roger's disapproval.

Roger could never bring himself to smile at this biological sister of his. He turned around and watched as Kelly approached him.

Kelly was also expecting. In fact, she had gotten pregnant a few months earlier than Kendall. She was expected to deliver the baby in three months, yet her body was still so slim, and her tummy hadn't even expanded. Those inexperienced couldn't even tell that she was pregnant.

Thanks to Jackson and her, Nell almost got himself killed. And after Jackson was imprisoned, Kelly found another man and her lack of self-respect drew Roger's dislike.

"Why are you here?" Roger blandly asked, "Are you here to see Nell getting discharged?"

Though, that was unlikely. In order to defend her, Nell was almost beaten to death by Jackson and during the former's time in the hospital, she barely even visited him. Worse, she even brought Rosemi, who wanted Nell to forgive Jackson, over to help her son alleviate his sentence. She was even intent on turning the entire drama into a mere family feud so that Jackson could be released without charges.

At the end of the day, Kelly and Nell were biological siblings. However, not only was she unaffected by her brother's condition, but she even brought Rosemi over to disrupt the Woodses' feelings, and Roger was genuinely irritated by that.

"Huh? Nell is getting discharged today?"

Nonetheless, Roger realized that he had been overthinking Kelly's single reply.

Upon noticing Roger's glare, Kelly hastily explained, "I honestly didn't know that Nell's getting discharged today. Kendall didn't even tell me about it. She must be afraid, thinking that if I were to come and see Nell getting discharged, I'd be hogging all the attention. Obviously, she's maintaining such a good relationship with you guys solely to aggravate the distance between us?"

Roger had always been a benign man who rarely lost his temper. Nevertheless, the instant Kelly threw shade at Kendall, he was infuriated.

"For whose sake do you think Nell got hospitalized? Whose biological brother do you think Nell is? If you at least see him as your actual brother or at least have some gratitude, you'd know that he's getting discharged today. How many times have you visited him during his time in the hospital? Pfft, you? Coming to see him getting discharged? It'll be the end of the world before you'd ever do that."
