Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 116

After a moment of silence, Dylan stated, "No matter what she wants, I will provide her with anything that is within my abilities."

Yoseph did not know how to respond to him.

Looking at his brother, Dylan mocked himself, saying, "Yoseph, with the state I am in right now, I am even unfit when matched up to Kendall. It could even be said that I've dragged her down by marrying her. Who else does Grandma want me to marry? Who else can I even marry?"

"Dylan, you will get better soon."

Snorting, Dylan replied, "If Grandma really is planning on chasing Kendall away, maybe I should just stay in this state. In this way, even if I'm unworthy of her, Grandma will at least not make it hard on her, seeing how we're husband and wife. Instead, she might even be scared that Kendall might leave me."

Yoseph said, "Dylan, I believe that you'll be cured. But, you have to keep up with your rehabilitation. I trust that Kendall will also be very happy on the day you can stand up by yourself again. As for Grandma, have you ever feared her before?"

After a while, Dylan nodded and replied, "You're right, Yoseph. I wasn't myself just now."

This all made Yoseph think, It seems like Dylan cares so much about Kendall that he uttered that, seeing how much he's worried that Grandma might chase Kendall away.

"Yoseph, since you're not going out, help me with my rehabilitation today. I want to recover quickly."

In this way, if Kendall encountered anything dangerous again, he would be able to rush to her side at a moment's notice.

This was so he could protect her as best as he could.

"Okay."

Yoseph did not reject his brother, as it was good news that he wanted to rehabilitate.

Kendall, who was oblivious to what the brothers had talked about after she left, had the driver send her to the hospital first to visit Sally.

Maybe it was due to her daughter accompanying her, but Sally had been recovering nicely, and her body's condition was slowly improving.

With a bouquet of flowers in her hands, Kendall also brought a lot of supplements. Entering the ward, she saw Sally browsing through social media using her son's phone while laughing from time to time.

As for Nelson, he was peeling an apple for his mother.

Upon seeing Kendall made the mother and son stop their actions. Sally put the phone on the bedside table before smiling. "Hello, Kendall."

Shifting her focus to Kendall, she was a bit disappointed upon seeing no one appearing behind

Kendall.

Knowing that Sally had anticipated Kelly to show up, Kendall explained, "Mom, I didn't come from home, so I didn't come with Kelly. Last night, we were at an event where she drank quite a lot. So, I think she should be resting at home today." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Sally immediately replied, "Why did she drink so much? It's bad for her stomach. How about you, Kendall? Did you drink a lot too? You like to drink, so you must have had a lot too last night."

After greeting Nelson, Kendall handed over the bouquet to Sally and set the supplements down on the table before sitting down.

She then smiled. "Mom, it's not like you don't know how much I can drink. Don't worry, I won't allow myself to get drunk. Dad told me before that a woman must know her limits when drinking outside to avoid getting drunk and getting into trouble."

She had been drunk once.

It was when she became an adult, at the age of eighteen, that her adopted father, Milo, and her two brothers brought her to a bar. Stating that she was an adult now, he allowed Kendall to drink as much as she wanted.

Then, she drank until she blacked out.

The next day after she woke up, Milo told her how much she drank before she passed out and told her how every woman should know her limits, be aware of when she would get drunk and control her intake before anything unfortunate happened.

Society can be a cruel place, especially for women who would get drunk drinking outside. If there were no family or friends to take care of them, one could easily guess what would happen to them.

So, from then on, every time Kendall drank outside, she would drink until she reached a certain amount before refusing any more drinks, as she would never let herself get drunk.

"Aren't you smug?"

Sally advised her, "No matter if you get drunk or not, you should cut back on drinking."

"I know. You don't have to be worried about Kelly either, as she has to entertain her clients by drinking when talking about business, so her alcohol tolerance is also quite high."

Sally was still worried about her even though Kendall said all this.

But in front of her, Sally did not continue to ask about Kelly.

"You've bought so many supplements again. How can I consume them all?" Sally remarked after seeing what Kendall bought for her.

Smiling while taking two pieces of apple from her brother, Kendall gave one to Sally before saying, "Mom, I have a job with a stable income now. Besides, the family isn't really in any financial difficulty either. I didn't know where to spend my money, so I only thought about buying some supplements for you. Mom, if you don't eat them all, it'll be equivalent to you wasting my salary. I don't think you want that to happen, right?"

"You and your glib tongue…"

Sally, who looked to be mildly frustrated on the surface, was actually feeling very blessed.

Even though Kendall was not her own flesh and blood, after spending 25 years together, their mother and daughter relationship was still going very strongly.

Unfortunately, Charlotte was not all happy that Kendall kept on visiting them.

Sally recalled the scene where Charlotte went to find them in the village. Although she had said a lot, Sally knew that she did not wish for the Woods to contact Kendall in fear that she might find her unable to blend in with her real family.

Yet, Kendall was one who knew how to return her gratitude, as she would insist on visiting them from time to time, no matter what her real mother's opinion was.

Besides that, she would always give them money and things whenever she came back. Sally, who did not spend the money Kendall gave her, had saved it all up and planned to give her the money as a betrothal gift when she finally got married, thinking it would end their mother and daughter relationship on a high note.

"You're working now, Kendall? In which company?"

Nelson picked another apple up before washing and peeling it.

"At Parker Corporation."

Grunting, Nelson continued, "That's your family's company, right? It's better to work at your own family's company. At least your father can watch over you."

He asked, "Have you gotten used to working there?"

Ever since Kendall graduated, she had never worked in a factory before, as she started her own business. Can she get used to working nine to five after being unrestrained for so long?

"I can manage, Nelson. Don't worry, I adapt very well. By the way, haven't you told Dad and the others about Mom's condition?"

She did not see Milo and her brother, Roger.

"Dad knows. It's just that he's too busy tending to the farm, so he couldn't come. As for Roger, he was busy tending to your shop, so I told them that they need not come. My recovery is coming along nicely as well. The doctor said I should be able to be discharged next week."

Sally's wish came true.

It was just that his biological sister's attitude made Nelson feel a bit dissatisfied with her.

Nonetheless, Sally did not permit him to complain about Kelly at all, as she was afraid that she might stop coming once he voiced his opinions.

So, Nelson could only hold it in for now.

"He should just rent a harvester for that. Tell Dad that he doesn't need to farm so much anymore. Our

family isn't in a financial crisis, so he should just farm as a pastime and enough for you all to eat."

The reason Kendall gave them money every time she visited was that she wanted her foster parents to live the high life and stop working so hard.
