Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573

In Kendall's dream, he, the birth father, had missed out on the baby's seven months of life, as he was unaware of her existence and even watched the mother and daughter die right in front of his eyes.

Knowing he owed his two ladies far too much, he decided that he would spend more time with them to make up for everything.

There were fifteen Coleman young masters, and every one of them could stand on their own two feet just fine. No doubt Coleman Empire Holdings could operate normally even if Dylan doesn't go to work for a month.

"That said…" Dylan suddenly said, causing Kendall to stop and look at him somewhat nervously. "But what? Your family doesn't want me to work now that I'm pregnant, aren't they? Dylan, we made a pact. I can work through my pregnancy as long as it doesn't endanger the baby. Besides, we're not even a hundred percent sure I'm pregnant. Even if I am, I've just entered the first trimester. The morning sickness hasn't even come yet. I'm not going on bed rest so early."

If anything, Kelly was still going to work when she was four months into her pregnancy!

Speaking of which, Kelly's belly still wasn't showing even though she was already four months pregnant, and she would still show up to work in a women's suit. Those who weren't experienced couldn't even tell she was pregnant.

Moreover, she would continue to attend business engagements, just that it was a mystery to Kendall if Kelly would keep the baby safe during them.

The Whittles haven't been approaching Kelly lately, have they?

Jackson and his wife would be sentenced soon, and Whittle Holdings and Caddel Corporation had suffered under Coleman Empire Holdings' suppression. Mendelson Group, too, went to great lengths to assist Coleman Empire Holdings.

Hence, even if Whittle Holdings was somewhat established, it had suffered a significant blow because of the rumors and its competitors' attacks.

Then, things began looking up for them for a while after they gained Zorn Holdings' support.

Alas, Whittle Holdings and Zorn Holdings could still survive a little longer if Jackson and his wife hadn't belabored Nelson and gotten caught, but now, they were only an official notice away from being bankrupt.

Meanwhile, the Whittles had sold their mansion away to clear their employees' wages, and the family was selling whatever they could, as no one could help them out. Well, none dared to anyway, for the Whittles had offended the Colemans and Mendelsons.

Mendelson Group aside, Coleman Empire Holdings alone was enough to put Whittle Holdings in bankruptcy.

Now, even the Zorns were shuddering in fear.

However, Zorn Holdings was much more powerful than Whittle Holdings, so they wouldn't be declaring their bankruptcy for the time being, but it didn't mean that they were faring any better. If anything, they no longer had the time and power to help the Whittles.

Now, the other big guys in Orapolis' business world dared not make a sound, as they feared suffering the wrath of the two giants accidentally.

After all, small businesses like theirs wouldn't be able to withstand their wrath.

The smart ones, on the other hand, were doing whatever they could to work with Parker Corporation, whose primary business was manufacturing circuit boards anyway, and many companies relied on electronic devices. All else aside, they could already request an order just by changing a batch of computers alone.

Everyone was saying Parker Corporation was now their true safe haven, for Kendall, the successor of Parker Corporation, was Dylan's wife, and Frank, the head of the Mendelson Family, was also very protective of the young woman.

With those two giant backers, anyone who was on Parker Corporation's good side would be able to get through this commercial crisis safely.

Yes, to work with Parker Corporation, these people had begun kissing Kendall's *ss, even when she was still not ready to take over the company. However, she was trying her best, and it hadn't gone unnoticed.

Even the founding members of Parker Corporation were saying she was hard-working, patient, and humble, a lot like Adam when he was younger. Of course, what they said might not have come from the bottom of their hearts, but at least they made a stance.

"And I'll naturally do whatever I promised. But I can't guarantee my family won't stop you from going back to work. You know as well how much they're looking forward to seeing our baby."

Even Dylan himself was excited, so what more, his parents and his grandmother when they all assumed he had suffered from erectile dysfunction since the accident and wouldn't be able to produce his own progeny.

Tilly had even brought it up with Jane, requesting the couple to conceive a couple more children and let Dylan adopt one so that he wouldn't die a lonely man.

Matthew, too. The young man already had to be prepared to let his older brother adopt one of his children before he even had a girlfriend.

Dylan naturally knew his brothers weren't happy about it, but because they felt bad for him, they would ultimately persuade their beloved to give one child up to Dylan.

When the truth of him being a sexually normal-functioning man, his two brothers were the happiest, for the possibility of having to give up their children had been ruled out.

And now that Kendall was pregnant, it further proved that Dylan was doing just fine sexually, and his elders wouldn't need to worry about the progeny issue. Hence, it was why everyone was eager for this little one's arrival.

"A national treasure-level treatment awaits you, honey. Hehe." Dylan chuckled with a hint of helplessness as he spoke.

He could still do something if his family bullied Kendall, but what could he do when they were treating her like a national treasure?!

Actually, he, too, wanted to keep his beloved wife at home and look after her like she was a national treasure.

Kendall, on the other hand, wanted to back up when she recalled how everyone surrounded her with enthusiastic care as soon as they found out she was pregnant last night.

I haven't even told my birth parents yet. I bet they'll also treat me like a national treasure if they find out.

At that, she decided to tell her parents in secret and keep the news away from the public after confirming she was pregnant.

One, I want to have a quiet pregnancy; two, I need to prevent Kelly from harming me.

That woman is getting crazier by the day.

Especially after Kendall could gradually stand on her own.

"Hey, don't act like the world's ending. How great is it that they're babying you?! Not even I get this kind of treatment," Dylan teased his dear wife with a smile before holding her hand and taking her downstairs, where a few ladies were waiting.

"Kendall, you're awake." Emily went up to Kendall at once. "You must be hungry. I woke up bright and early to make you some nutrition-packed soup."

"Me, too, Kendall. I've made you some soup…" Julie and the others also came forward with the food they had made with all smiles, enthusiasm, and well wishes. But it made the young woman want to run away.

However, she couldn't, as all of them were her elders. She had to accept their concern.

Minutes later, bowls of nutrition-packed soup were arranged on the dining table in front of Kendall, apart from her usual favorites.

Kendall suddenly missed the days when everyone ignored her, for she was free to do whatever she wanted. Am I masochistic?

Meanwhile, Tilly was sitting across from Kendall and Dylan. As she was the eldest member of the family, the nutritious breakfast she prepared, which also included a bowl of soup, was placed right in front of Kendall.

Right then, Tilly was looking affectionately at Kendall with a smile, and her gaze had Kendall thinking the elder wasn't looking at her but at the unborn baby.
