Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563

"Given the advanced technology nowadays, Master Dylan might actually have been cured." Kelly was insistent on manipulating the conversation.

"If that could be healed, there wouldn't have been men who couldn't become fathers."

Kelly was at loss for words. Indeed, some unfortunate men could never be cured.

"Then, what examination report did Kendall go to take?"

"What report would there be if she wasn't getting tested? That was Nell's, of course!"

Skeptical, Kelly replied, "Wasn't Nell discharged today? What report is there to take?"

"Nell had a final examination before getting discharged so that the doctors could make sure he was safe to leave."

Hearing that, Kelly grew speechless. As the Woodses were highly protective of Kendall, it would be unlikely for Kelly to get anything out of Roger.

"Ah." With that, Kelly's attitude toward Roger obviously grew bland. "I'm leaving, then."

After taking a few steps away, she suddenly stopped and turned her head around. "Have you been pursuing Emma? Master Dylan's secretary, I mean. Why was she in Parker Corporation earlier? Did Master Dylan fire her, or did Kendall abuse her power to create the opportunity for you and deliberately ask Master Dylan to let Emma be her secretary?"

Instantly, Roger's face grew dull. "I like Emma. What's wrong with me wooing her? No matter where she goes, she's an excellent woman. I won't allow you to insult her."

"She's not even yours yet and you're already this protective. Do you think you can actually win her over? She has been by Master Dylan's side for years. She has seen more than you ever have, and her standards are high. She's completely out of your league. Since you're my biological brother, I advise you to give up on her so that you won't end up shattering your own heart. Well, I don't mind hooking you up. My former secretary is excellent in many ways as well."

Ever since Cameron left Parker Corporation, she'd had a hard time looking for a new job. Luckily for her, Kelly begged Brian for help and arranged a new position for her in Zorn Holdings, which was pretty kind of Kelly to her.

"Thanks, but I don't need your concern."

"I wouldn't have if you weren't my brother."

"How nice of you. Do you really see me as your brother, though? Hooking me up? With what? More schemes and lies?"

Vexed, Kelly immediately tossed an insult before smugly walking away.

As soon as she was gone, Roger gave Kendall a call, and when she picked it up, he reminded her, "Kendall, Kelly came to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup earlier today. She caught you and Master Dylan celebrating after receiving the examination report and tried to dig something from me, asking whether you are pregnant. Kelly bears no good intentions. You must remain cautious in the company."

"I will, Roger. Thank you."

Kelly was his biological sister, yet he sided with Kendall.

"Oh, drop the courtesy. You're my sister. Alright, that's all. Enjoy your lunch with Master Dylan. Eat up, will you? You're not the only one needing the nutrients now."

Kendall smilingly answered, "I will." She would never mistreat the baby in her belly as it was the child she and Dylan had been eagerly anticipating.

After the call ended, as Kendall was about to talk to the man beside her, his phone suddenly rang. Apparently, the caller was Frank. Seeing the caller ID, she grew curious. "Why would Frank call you at such a moment? Does he wanna have lunch together?"

Though, that would be impossible as these two men were sworn enemies, and there would only be competition and quarrel between them.

With a faint grin, Dylan guessed, "It's probably for Ms. Taylor."

"For Amy? But why is he calling you?"

"For a consultation."

Kendall grew silent. Aren't they supposed to be enemies? Yet, Frank would repeatedly look for Dylan solely for consultations—all for Amy's sake?

Dylan accepted Frank's call.

"Are you free to have lunch together?" Frank courteously asked.

"No, I'm having one with my wife."

After a moment of silence, Frank stated, "I can treat you two to lunch."

"No, I'm afraid our overwhelming love will leave you scarred."

Frank was momentarily speechless. "I'll go look for you in your company this afternoon."

"Have you prepared the money?"

Frank then replied, "Do you lack money? Has Coleman Empire Holdings' liquidity been used up? Or is it going bankrupt soon? Why are you always asking for money?"

"With me, Dylan Coleman, as Coleman Empire Holdings' leader, do you seriously think it'll go bankrupt? Who are you to me? You want my time. You're always asking questions. I reckon it's only befitting that I collect some consultation fees from you. You know, I've always been stingy when it comes to Frank Mendelson."

Frank grew quiet once again. After a brief moment, he noted, "You're overcharging me."

"I didn't ask you to come for me. It is you who willingly enters my territory, so don't blame me for the price. It's only ten million. I'm sure that, to you, is merely everyone else's one thousand."

As the Colemans and Mendelsons were both billionaire families, money was the last thing Frank lacked.

"How much time for ten million?"

"How long can you talk to me? Would you be willing to get all mushy with me?"

There was a momentary silence. "Is fund transfer acceptable?"

"Certainly, though I'd much prefer cash. My dear Kendall would love to see a massive pile of wealth before her."

Frank silently hung up. When he heard Kendall's name, he couldn't help but be fazed.

Listening to the conversation, Kendall bent over with laughter.

After all, the two rivaling, mighty presidents shared a refreshing conversation over the phone, and she was very entertained by it. Back then, Frank even brought over cash of a million, which Dylan took back home to her and claimed the amount to be the fund for the baby's diapers. It wasn't even certain that she was pregnant, yet he was already earning money for diapers.

Amused by his dear wife's guffaw, Dylan reached over and dragged her into his embrace and said, "Honey, we won't have to worry about being unable to raise our child. Frank is constantly sending us money!"

Frank was picky about his approach with Amelia, so whenever he felt pressured, he would look for Dylan, assured that—for Amelia's sake—Dylan wouldn't expose his feelings to others. Of course, he wasn't bothered by Dylan's potential mockery either.

Once he vented his feelings to Dylan, Dylan would certainly talk about it to Kendall. And since Kendall and Amelia were besties, what Kendall was told would eventually be known by Amelia. In other words, Dylan and Kendall were Frank's medium to communicate his feelings to Amelia.

"As if we couldn't afford to raise it already!" Kendall burst out laughing. "Frank left me a bad impression of him, but I never expected to see this side of him were it not for Amy."

"His feelings for Ms. Taylor are probably genuine."

There were no other women by Frank's side. In his thirty-one years of life, Kendall was the only woman he had clung to, and the reason for it was the very strange dream that he once had about the baby. Therefore, as long as he could move on from Kendall, he would very soon realize that the woman he was truly in love with was Amelia. And now, in the name of love, Frank gradually grew humble and was willing to lower his pride.

"However, Amy must not accept him too soon. After all, he treated her too harshly in the past."

Thereupon, Dylan left a peck on Kendall's cheek and rested his big palm on her flat belly. With melting tenderness on his dashing face, he gently said, "All we have to do is watch. We don't have to interfere in it. The only matter we should prioritize is our baby."
