Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 3

Dylan had his bodyguard pushing him as he silently looked at the woman walking in front. She had just become his legal wife.

That woman giggled as she walked like a cat had caught a canary.

"Kendall," he called out in a low voice.

When Kendall heard him calling her, she turned around, smiled sweetly at him, and asked, "What's the matter, hubby?"

As soon as he heard this, he frowned. He didn't like her calling him 'hubby.'

"Don't call me hubby."

Kendall was sensible and immediately changed her tone.

"Come here."

She let out a hum and turned around to stand in front of him as if waiting for his following command.

"Turn around and squat down."

Although Kendall didn't understand why Dylan would have such a request, she still squatted down in front of him and turned her back to him according to his request.

"Dylan, are you asking me to carry you? Hop on! I'm quite strong. I should be able to—"

Before she could even finish what she was saying, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and her eyes immediately black as the darkness engulfed her.

Dylan looked at his newlywed wife, who had fallen to the ground indifferently, and commanded in a low voice, "Send her back to the Parkers. Let her recuperate before taking responsibility for what she had done."

Then, he pushed past Kendall in his wheelchair.

As he passed her, he bent down, picked up the marriage certificate she had dropped on the ground, and stuffed it into his pockets.

The bodyguards were completely confused by Dylan's actions and his arrangements, but none of them dared to question him. Finally, one of the bodyguards silently carried the unconscious Kendall into the car and sent her home.

…

When Kendall was awake again, she felt a pain in the back of her neck alongside an empty stomach.

"Kendall, Kendall."

She heard a familiar, warm, but anxious-sounding voice.

Immediately, Kendall returned to her senses and turned her head instinctively to see her mother's beautiful face.

"Kendall, how are you feeling? Do you feel dizzy? Are you hungry? Does your wrist hurt? You scared me to death! I've just gotten you back, and I haven't even gotten the chance to really get to know you. If something happened to you, what should I do then?"

Charlotte grabbed Kendall's hand tightly, and Charlotte's eyes reddened as she spoke.

The bodyguards of the Coleman Family sent her unconscious daughter back and told her that Kendall had gone to slit her wrist in front of Dylan so that she would not marry him.

When Charlotte heard this, she was scared out of her wits. However, she quickly helped her daughter and probed the tip of her nose. When Charlotte realized that Kendall was still breathing, she let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the bodyguards of the Coleman Family did not say much. Instead, they told Charlotte that Kendall should recuperate from her injuries before taking responsibility and leaving.

"Mom? Am I still alive?" Kendall asked.

As Charlotte wiped away her tears, she patted her daughter on the shoulder, held up her injured hand distressedly, and said, "Silly girl, if you don't want to marry someone, you can just tell us. Why did you have to go and offend the Colemans? I will even help convince your dad to call the marriage off. Why

do you have to do something like this… Thank God you were saved."

Kendall blinked as hard as she could.

She felt a sharp pain when she touched the back of her neck.

Dylan had stunned her!

He must be the first person that stunned their newlywed wife.

"Mom," Kendall called out in a hoarse voice.

Putting aside her marriage with Dylan, Kendall finally had the time to feel excited about her rebirth.

She sat up and hugged Charlotte abruptly before exclaiming, "Mom, I've missed you so much."

In Kendall's previous life, she had only stayed with the Parkers for three years after reuniting. More than a year after her marriage, her parents died in a car accident. She had only managed to spend no more than four years with her biological parents in her past life.

Although the time was short, her parents' love for her was real.

There were times that Kelly would be envious, saying that the love she had received for 25 years was nothing compared to the love Kendall received over the past year.

"Kendall."

Charlotte was not used to Kendall being this open about her feelings.

Although the two were mother and daughter, this daughter of hers had been wrongly exchanged for the past twenty-five years. Instead, it was Kelly, whom Charlotte had grown up loving.

However, she still accepted Kendall's affectionate behavior.

Ever since Kendall's return, the mother and daughter had been embarrassed to show affection, unlike how Charlotte was with Kelly.

Charlotte also wanted her biological daughter to be affectionate to her, but Kendall did not grow up by her side, and she was already 25 when they reunited. So, it was natural for her to be a bit distant.

"Mom, let me hug you properly. I've missed you so much. I was so afraid I wouldn't see you when I woke up."

"I'm at home every day, and you can see me whenever you like."

The mother and daughter hugged each other a while more before Charlotte gently pushed her daughter away.

Then, she gently stroked her daughter's face, carefully examining it.

Kendall looked like the perfect mixture of her and her husband, Adam. How could she be so blind in the past to not realize that Kelly looked nothing like them?

"Kendall, promise me that you wouldn't do anything stupid in the future anymore."

"Mom, I'm sorry that I made you worry. I promise I won't do anything stupid again."

Now that she had a second chance in life, she would be a fool if she did anything stupid again.

This time, she just wanted to live a free and easy life. She wanted to live a better life than before, safeguard the Parker Corporation, and repay her birth and adoptive parents' kindness.

In her previous life, her adoptive parents did not cut off contact with her just because she had returned to the Parkers, and their affection towards her remained the same.

On the other hand, Kelly, who had grown up in the Parker Family, did not want to return to her biological parents even after knowing who they were.

The honest couple dared not force their daughter to return home and felt that Kendall's parents had raised Kelly well. So, to repay their kindness, they decided to show Kendall even more love.

"So, the marriage proposal with the Colemans…"

"Mom, I promised to marry Dylan." As a matter of fact, she had already married Dylan.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she reached out to touch Kendall's head to ensure she didn't have a fever before asking worriedly, "Kendall, did Master Dylan do something to you? I know you like Jackson. Although I disapprove of you marrying him, you don't have to do anything that is against your will just because of the pressure from Dylan."

"Even if your family goes bankrupt because of the Colemans, I will never let you marry into the Coleman Family as a widow," she added through gritted teeth.

Charlotte had always been against the marriage from the very beginning. But, it was Adam who was afraid to refuse it, fearing that he might offend the Colemans. So, he left the decision for Kendall to make.

As a result…

Charlotte almost lost her biological daughter, whom she had just reunited with.

"Mom, Dylan, and I—"

Knock, knock!

The knocks on the door interrupted Kendall mid-sentence.

"Mom, is Kendall awake? I've boiled some porridge and fried a few small dishes on the table. If Kendall's awake, let her have something to eat."

It was Kelly.

Kendall's face immediately changed, and hatred flashed across her eyes.

This 'good sister' of hers killed her daughter and her parents!

In this life, she would never let Kelly harm her parents. Kendall would even drive Kelly out of the Parker Family and take back her identity as the only daughter of the Parker Family.

Everything that Kelly had in her previous life, Kendall would make sure to destroy. She would never let Kelly become the winner she was in Kendall's past life.
