Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511

When Frank stumbled to the floor, Amelia nearly rushed forward to help him.

She had already raised her foot to take a step when she recalled that she was friends with Kendall, and how the Colemans had chased Kendall out because of Frank, which forced her and Dylan to spend some time apart. Amelia quietly withdrew her foot again.

The crueler and more heartless Kendall was to Frank, the more likely he would finally give up on her at last.

I won't have to come over to Mendelson Residence anymore once Frank gives up on Kendall.

"Sir!"

It was Desmond who rushed over to help Frank up.

After helping Frank get back to his feet, Desmond turned to Kendall and said, "Miss Kendall—"

"You're Mr. Desmond, right? Please call me Young Mistress Coleman."

Kendall stressed the fact that she was married. It was meant to remind Frank that she was married and to not waste any more time on her. She couldn't accept his infatuated love for her.

However, Desmond kept referring to her as Miss Kendall anyway. Frank liked hearing others referring to her as such. That way, he could fool himself into thinking that Kendall was still single, and he still had a chance with her.

"Miss Kendall, Mr. Mendelson didn't do anything wrong. If you must insist that he did, then his only mistake is to be too in love with you. That day, Mr. Coleman had already settled the score with Mr. Mendelson. They were both injured but Mr. Mendelson's injuries were worse. I don't expect you to pity Mr. Mendelson, but please don't come and add insult to injury."

"Shut up, Desmond!" Frank barked. "Stay out of it! This is between Kendall and me!"

"Sir!" Desmond called out to him with an aching heart.

When Kendall wasn't around, Desmond noticed that Frank seemed to show a tiny bit of interest in Amelia, but now that Kendall was here, she was all Frank could see.

This is too unfair toward Ms. Taylor.

Desmond wanted to stand up for Amelia.

"Go away!" Frank snarled.

Desmond had no choice but to retreat. He stood beside Amelia and sighed when he saw that she was unaffected by everything.

I can't expect Miss Kendall to take pity on Mr. Mendelson, and neither can I expect Ms. Taylor to do so either, since Mr. Mendelson keeps treating Ms. Taylor badly.

Frank stared at Kendall and uttered in a deep, quiet voice, "Kendall, you're afraid that your hand will hurt if you hit me, so I'll hit myself. That way, your hand won't hurt, and you'll still get your revenge."

He started slapping himself in the face.

Smack!

The first slap rang out loud and clear.

Desmond's heart was breaking.

Kendall frowned, but she stayed silent. She observed Amelia's expression out of the corner of her eye.

Since Amelia didn't seem affected at all, Kendall didn't stop Frank from hitting himself.

Therefore, right before everyone's eyes, Frank kept slapping himself over and over again. He hit himself so hard that his face turned into a swollen tomato after a few slaps. His face was covered in streaky red marks.

Those who worked for Frank were agonized by this.

On the other hand, the Colemans' bodyguards remained expressionless.

Amelia kept watching as Frank slapped himself time and time again, and all of a sudden, she felt a prick in her heart. She felt a lump grow in her throat and quickly averted her eyes to avoid seeing how Frank was tormenting himself.

Kendall, who had been observing Amelia's reaction all along, felt a surge of complicated emotions.

Just as Frank was about to hit himself in the face yet again, Kendall spoke up coldly. "Mr. Mendelson, I'm going to repeat this one last time. I am Dylan's wife. I'm going to be his wife for the rest of my life. I can't accept your love and devotion. Please stop bothering me. You'll only be able to move on with your life once you let go of your feelings for me because we can never be together. That's all I have to say. Let's go, Ronnie."

Kendall turned around and left, and the Colemans' bodyguards followed closely behind.

She didn't ask Amelia to leave with her.

Amelia didn't realize what was happening until Kendall had left with the bodyguards. She was supposed to follow Kendall out.

Now that Kendall's gone, am I leaving or staying?

Amelia hesitated for a long time after looking at Frank, whose disappointment-filled eyes peeked through his swollen face, and eventually, she chose to stay.

Frank stared in a daze in the direction where Kendall had left. His heart had shattered completely.

She kept rejecting him so heartlessly. She kept telling him that she was Dylan's wife and would only be his wife for the rest of her life.

She wasn't interested in his love for her! She didn't care that he was devoted to her!

"Sir."

Desmond came forward with a heart full of sympathy. "Sir, just give up. Miss Kendall isn't heartless. It's just that she has already given her heart to Mr. Coleman. She only has one to give. Since she has given it to Mr. Coleman, she can't give it to you anymore. Why must you continue devoting yourself to her this way?"

Frank didn't say anything.

He hit himself very hard just now in the hopes that Kendall would take pity on him.

Right now, his face had swollen up twice the size it usually was.

Even so, Kendall didn't pity him at all.

She indeed wasn't his to have!

Frank closed his eyes as a solitary tear fell out of the corner of his eye.

In this life, she met Dylan first and fell in love with him. She was now his wife.

He was too late. He had missed his chance with her.

"Frank, you should put some ice on your face," Amelia came over and advised gently.

Frank didn't respond. He turned around and walked back into the house.

Desmond and Amelia exchanged glances. Out of worry, Desmond suggested, "Ms. Taylor, I'm really worried about Mr. Mendelson. Can you talk to him and convince him to put some ice on his face?"

Amelia didn't refuse him.

She quickly went into the house but didn't see any sign of Frank. He had gone upstairs.

Amelia got an ice pack and went up to look for Frank. When she arrived at his room, his door was closed, so she started knocking and calling out to him, "Open up, Frank. Put some ice on your face so that the swelling goes down."

Frank didn't answer. No matter how hard Amelia knocked on the door, he refused to open it and didn't say anything either.

Desmond came over and asked anxiously, "Is Mr. Mendelson not opening the door, Ms. Taylor?"

Amelia nodded.

In the past, she only ever heard Desmond describing how pitiful Frank was.

Today, she finally witnessed Frank's obsession with Kendall. She had been shocked by it and felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

Amelia and Kendall had been friends for over a year now. She knew very well that Kendall barely interacted with Frank. Frank was obsessed with Kendall because of the repetitive dream he had.

Just because of a dream, Frank became devoted to Kendall and sacrificed a lot for her.

Still, Kendall wasn't interested at all, no matter how devoted Frank was to her.

Kendall was Dylan's wife. They were legally married now. There was nothing but pain and hurt in store for Frank if he continued to be so obsessed with Kendall.

Desmond had given all the advice he possibly could to Frank, and for Kendall's sake, Amelia had tried numerous times as well.

Frank just refuses to listen to anyone else.

"Sir! Sir!"

Desmond kept knocking on the door.

Still, there was no response.

Desmond was on the verge of breaking the door down.

"Mr. Desmond, just leave him alone for now so that he can calm down."

Amelia sighed. "Although he's hurting now, maybe he'll finally think things through and let go."

This pain was going to come sooner or later.

Amelia had felt a pang in her heart when she saw the look in Frank's eyes earlier. He was truly in despair.

Desmond sighed as well. "I hope Mr. Mendelson gives up this time. He has been hurt countless times because of Miss Kendall."

Miss Kendall was concerned when Mr. Coleman got hurt, but she probably doesn't care at all that Mr. Mendelson's hurt. That's the stark difference between the presence and absence of love.
