Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 674 False Alarm

Oh, she's smiling. Kendall quickly asked, "Did the results come out? It's good, I presume?"

Happily, Emma said, "Yes, it's a false alarm. Did a few checks, but no cancer cells were found. There's inflammation, though. Something I ate probably hurt my esophagus, and that created the growth of the lump. I won't die now. I can still live." Even though she was prepared to die, knowing that her cancer was just a false alarm delighted her. No one would want to die young, after all.

"Told you. You look healthy, so there's no way you'd get cancer. Dylan told me the company puts everyone through a checkup every six months too. You've always been fine. No way you'd be down with cancer all of a sudden." Kendall was happy her friend was healthy, but she felt sorry for Roger. He backed out too early, yet that was probably for the best because Emma still loved Toddy. Even if Roger had pressed on, he would still be rejected in the end. At least now he could lick his wounds and move on easily.

"I'm sorry I worried everyone. Dinner's on me when I get back. Oh, did you find out the truth behind your parents' car crash?"

"Yes. It was engineered, and the mastermind is caught. We're waiting for their verdict now."

After the victims' families knew of the truth, they demanded the deaths of Kelly and Rosemi. Kelly and Rosemi were practically best friends in my previous life. Guess they can go to hell together this time.

"Engineered? Oh, it's Kelly, isn't it?" Emma and Kendall were good friends, and Dylan told her to become Kendall's secretary. She knew full well of the feud.

A moment of silence later, Kendall said, "She worked with Rosemi."

"She attacked her own folks? I can't…" Emma was shocked. She couldn't believe Kelly would go after the Parkers and Woodses, but then she realized why. She must've thought she couldn't get to Kendall easily with Dylan in the mix, so she turned her sights to the Parkers. Once they died, the inheritance would be evenly split between her and Kendall. Even now, Kendall was not as experienced in the business field as Kelly was. Kelly could have taken over the company easily. "Serves her right."

"Let's not talk about her. Our feud is done and dusted."

"Yeah. You should spend more time with your folks."

Kendall smiled. "I will. When are you and Toddy coming back? My wedding's in about two weeks. You have to be my bridesmaid."

When they decided on the wedding date, Emma was still getting treated in Imperia. Out of consideration for her health, Kendall didn't include her in the team of bridesmaids, but now that she knew Emma was fine, she must have her friend on the team.

"Oh, you're having a wedding? Sure, I'll be there. Leave a spot in the bridesmaid team for me. Toddy and I are going to tour around Imperia for a few days. We at least have to sightsee before we go back. I want to have a vacation." Back when she was working with Dylan, her days were busy. She couldn't even relax on the weekend. It had been a while since she had a vacation.

"Of course, I'm leaving a spot. I don't have many friends. Jane's engaged to Yoseph, so she can't be my bridesmaid, which leaves only you and Amy."

Oh, I haven't called Amy. She had no idea how to contact her, so the only avenue was to wait for Amelia to call her. She told Frank that when he came to see her, but he didn't believe it. If it weren't for the cops coming to find Kelly, it would have been hard for her to escape Frank. He was great at hounding people.

The call is going on for too long, Dylan thought, so he started getting handsy. Dylan started touching her hands, pinching her cheeks, and then he went in for a kiss.

Annoyed by what he was doing, Kendall said, "That's all for now. I'm on my way home. We'll talk once you come back."

"Sure. Bye." Emma hung up.

Kendall put her phone down and turned to push Dylan against the door, then went up to him and straddled his lap. She held his face and kissed him all over, drenching him with her drool. "Did you have to do that? Man, you can be a child sometimes."

Dylan wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled. "I just want you to only look at me whenever we're together. No one can take your attention away."
