Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 673 An Answer

She married Dylan, was in a loving relationship, and now she was pregnant. It was divine providence that she got to have a reset and alter the course of fate.

"Kendall, I haven't done many of the crimes you accused me of. You can't…"

"You did that to me in my past life. If I hadn't been reborn, you and Jackson would've done the same thing."

Kelly couldn't answer that, for that was indeed her plan.

"Do you believe in reincarnations, Kelly?" Kendall sneered. "I've died once, but the gods had mercy on me. They sent me back to the time when the tragedy hadn't happened, so I married Dylan, got his help, and started my revenge. It seems to be a success. Your reputation is destroyed, and you're going to face the music. Everything you had in your last life, gone. Even your child left you. I call that… justice."

Kelly stared at Kendall in abject shock. She wondered if Kendall was going mad. Reincarnation? She went back in time and changed everyone's life? What's this? A novel or something?

"Now you know why you're going to die, like how I knew why I died in my past life. We're even now." Kendall chortled. "Eight innocent lives. You took eight innocent lives. That's a crime that can only be repaid in blood. Fare thee well, Kelly. And may we never meet again." She then shoved Kelly away and turned to leave.

"Kendall!"

Kelly tried to grab Kendall, but she was flung away. When she tried to go for it again, Kendall turned around, crouched, and swept the ground with her leg, tripping Kelly over. She then stood up and dusted off her pants. "I didn't want to do this, but you just had to go for it."

"You're not Kendall!"

"And so what if I'm not? Who would believe you?" Kendall said. She knew that would annoy Kelly, but she didn't care and simply left.

Kelly lay on the ground, seeing Kendall off in hatred. She shouted, "Dylan, Dad, Mom, she's fake! She's not the real Kendall! Don't listen to her! She's a liar!"

The door was closed by Kendall. No one gave Kelly any response. Only Dylan and his team were outside. The Parkers and Woodses were not around. "Where are Dad and Mom?"

Dylan answered calmly, "They went back home. This place saddens them and they don't want to see her."

Everyone knew what Kelly would have to face. The next time they met, Kelly would no longer be alive. Of course, the Parkers and Woodses would be sad.

Dylan extended his right hand, and Kendall placed her hand in it. He then clasped his hand around hers.

"Let's go home, honey," said Dylan gently, his gaze filled with love.

Kendall nodded. "Sure."

Dylan held her hand and walked ahead with her.

Kelly's screams were still coming out of her room, but aside from the cop, no one paid her any care. She cried for a long, long time on the ground before she got up and went to sit on the bed. As she spaced out, she muttered, "How did she know? I haven't even gotten around to that part of the plan. What did she say? Reincarnation? Before the tragedy happened?"

"No way… No way that's true…" If reincarnation is real, why did she get it and not me? Why couldn't I have been reincarnated as the real daughter of the Parkers? If that had happened, I wouldn't have to face this. It didn't matter what Kelly believed. Her reputation was gone, and soon, her life would be as well. She wished she hadn't done what she did, but it was too late for regrets. All she could do was wait quietly as she awaited her punishment meted out by the hands of the law. She initially thought she could live until her child was born, but she had a miscarriage even though she was already five months pregnant. Is this karma?

Dylan took Kendall back home. Not long after they drove off, they stopped at a red light.

Kendall suddenly gripped his hand tightly.

"What's wrong?"

Kendall leaned on his shoulder and stared at the junction. She softly said, "We got into the car crash in this same exact spot. The baby flew right out of my hands. Before I died, I wanted to hold her once again, so I crawled toward her inch by inch. You told your men to get the baby and put her in my arms. Before I died, I saw you. You were in your wheelchair, quietly looking at me. Back then, I thought if time could be rewound, I would marry you."
