Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 561

Chapter 561

Frank stared at her, tempted to ask whether she would be his future wife, yet when the words were almost out of his mouth, he couldn't bring himself to say them. He was afraid that it would scare her away; he was terrified that she wouldn't trust him. After all, he was too obsessed with Kendall in the past.

However, now that he pondered about it, he wasn't really obsessed with Kendall. He was more interested in the baby whom he thought was his own daughter.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Never seen someone this pretty?"

Frank scoffed, "As if. I'm prettier than you."

Amelia was annoyed. A man, prettier than me?

After having his stomach filled, Frank saw Amelia was about to help him clean and immediately stopped her. "I'll wash them."

"Wow, the president cleans his own lunch boxes!"

"Yup, I eat food too. Stop putting me on your pedestal."

In response, Amelia giggled.

…

Meanwhile, in the hospital…

While waiting for the result, Kendall was honestly nervous despite her serene appearance, and so was Dylan, who was sitting beside her.

After a while, the result came out. When Kendall heard her name being called, she hastily walked over and accepted the examination report from the doctor, only to see a 'faint positive' on it.

"Doctor, what does this mean? Am I pregnant or not?"

"We're ninety-nine percent sure that you are pregnant. 'Faint positive' indicates that you had just gotten pregnant recently. Come test it out again in one week and you'll find yourself fully positive."

At once, Kendall's heart skipped a beat. She knew that it was still early for a definitive result, but a faint positive was already enough for an answer—she was pregnant with her and Dylan's child. Has my baby come back for me?

After hearing how the doctor was ninety-nine percent certain that Kendall was pregnant, Dylan immediately revealed a beaming smile. When he took the examination report from Kendall's hands, although the result was merely faint positive, the doctor assured them that she was pregnant, and there should be no doubt about it.

I am going to be a dad! And that's my baby right there!

In Kendall's dream, the baby never got to know its own father even at the moment of its death while Dylan, as the father, didn't even know that the child that died right in front of him was his own flesh and blood. Although that was merely a dream, the excruciating pain and remorse were engraved deep in her heart, as though they had truly experienced the scarring tragedy.

In real life, however, as long as the baby found its way to them, Dylan would unquestionably protect it as well as its mother, and there was no way he would allow the misfortune in Kendall's nightmare to repeat.

"Darling." Kendall embraced Dylan's arm and blissfully said, "I wanna snuggle into your arms and hug you with all the strength I have, but… the others might laugh at us." After all, the hospital was packed with people passing by.

Out of nowhere, the man beside her stopped. The next moment, he lifted her and began to spin around, happily yelling, "Honey, we're going to be parents! I'm so happy. So happy!"

Amused by his gesture, Kendall immediately laughed aloud as she, too, was blissed out. The passersby would turn over to them, but she was no longer afraid of their mockery. It was good news, and good news should be shared with others.

The thrilled, joyful response of the couple put a smile on many faces. Some were smiling as they reminisced about the moment that they first became parents. Perhaps we were this happy too!

Ronnie and the rest were gladdened by the sight, pulling out their phones at the same time as they intended to give Amos a call. However, also at the same time, they gave it up and put their phones back into their back pocket. It was their Young Master and Young Mistress' good news, so it was only reasonable that they were the ones to spread the joy.

After celebrating for quite some time, the couple slowly regained their composure.

"I should go tell my parents." Holding her husband's hand, she walked forward with smiling eyes, eager to share the joyous news with her parents.

"No, we'll get tested once more next week. Let's only tell them once we receive a concrete answer." Being the rational one, Dylan knew to keep an open heart.

"You're right. Well, let's wait for another week for a more precise result before disclosing it to them. Right, I gotta tell Mom and the rest since they're all in the hospital right now. Mom knows that I went for the test anyway." Considering Sally and Milo would be bringing Nell back to the countryside to recover, she thought it fine to inform them of the news earlier.

"Mm-hmm," Dylan blurted.

When they returned to Nell's ward, his discharge procedure was already completed, and everyone was waiting for Kendall and Dylan to come back.

After seeing Kendall, Sally hastily walked over to her and asked out of concern, "How did it go, Kendall?"

Smiling, Kendall closed in on her mother's ear and whispered to her about the result.

Lifting the corner of her lips, Sally replied, "That must be true! The doctor said there's a ninety-nine percent chance, didn't he? So, he must be right! Oh, my… Oh, lord am I relieved!"

Back when Kendall got married to Dylan, Sally was utterly devastated as Dylan was said to have broken both his legs in a car accident and would no longer be able to reproduce, which meant that Kendall would have to live through an empty marriage for the rest of her life.

Although Kendall was insistent on marrying Dylan, Sally couldn't help but blame the Parkers, Kendall's biological parents, for not stopping their daughter from getting married to Dylan despite their wealth and influence. As such, Sally grew to think that these businesspeople would happily sacrifice the happiness of their own daughters for the sake of benefits.

Nonetheless, after having witnessed the betterment of the relationship between the young couple, Sally began to perceive Dylan as a man who was worthy of getting married. Though, unfortunately, he was unable to reproduce, causing Kendall to have to live her life as a hollow wife.

Even later, despite Sally finding out that Dylan was fine, her anxiety remained. But now that she was informed of Kendall's pregnancy, she was finally, thoroughly relieved.

"Nonetheless, Kendall, the first three months will not be stable ones, so better not announce it just yet. Regardless, please be careful and don't get yourself injured. I reckon staying at home to rest is most ideal."

After all, pregnant women tended not to talk about their pregnancy in the first three months since that was when their babies were still unstable embryos which might lead to miscarriage. And once these pregnant mothers miscarried, they might actually receive words of mockery instead of consolation.

"Mom, it's not even one hundred percent. Besides, I feel healthy. It'll be fine."

Furthermore, it wasn't likely that her pregnancy period would interfere with her work either. Even Kelly was working her tail off when she was pregnant.

In Kendall's previous life, her pregnancy period was rather relaxed as her baby was a loving one. Apart from the initial episodes of morning sickness, nothing else came after as she was able to eat and sleep in peace. After the child was born, it turned out to be a good child as it was an obedient one who loved to laugh and would hardly cry.

As Sally was no fool, she was aware of the ever-intensifying power struggle between Kendall and Kelly. Since Kendall was now at a disadvantageous spot, the consequences were already foreseeable if she were to miss work due to her pregnancy.

Thereupon, Sally stopped advising Kendall and reminded her, "You may choose not to disclose this to others, but I think you should tell your parents. If your father knows about this, I'm sure he'll lessen your workload so that you can be more at ease."

Kendall gently nodded in response.

On the other hand, the others who overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter could already vaguely guess what was happening.
