Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 258

Watching the nanny jump into the river as if she had nothing to live for, Kendall became even more panicked to get out of the dire situation. Her outburst ended up in her fighting back in desperation.

As she attacked her opponents with reckless moves, she succeeded to turn the tables to her advantage. In the end, she was the sole winner of the fight as she defeated both of her opponents.

After making sure the men had no more energy to fight back, she rushed over to the spot where the nanny jumped off, her breathing labored. However, the woman was nowhere to be found. Maybe she got washed away by the river.

Even though Kendall knew how to swim, she had exhausted herself in the fight a moment ago and had no more energy to sustain the search for the nanny in the water.

Aware of the urgency, she pulled out her cell phone to call the police. Not long after she reported to the police, another call by Dylan came in.

As soon as she picked up, he growled in a dark tone, "Kendall Parker, where did you go?"

Turning around, she found no noticeable landmark to suggest her whereabouts, so she answered honestly, "I don't know where I am."

"What did you do to have such heavy breathing?"

"Dylan…" Stuttering, Kendall didn't know where she should begin.

"Are you going to speak up?"

"I-I am fishing by the river."

He only remarked coldly, "How come your type of fishing takes up a lot of energy? What is it? Are you fishing for big fish?"

"I-I met some kidnappers… and had a fight with them."

"Share me the location! Now!" Dylan demanded.

Understanding that he must be angry with her, Kendall didn't dare retort and sent him the location as soon as the call ended.

She didn't wait long for the local police to arrive.

She explained to them that the men were kidnappers while their female companion jumped into the river, thinking that there was no way for her to escape. Kendall couldn't save the woman in time because she was fighting the men at that moment. Once she dealt with the men, she had already lost the trace of the woman as the latter had been washed away by the river.

Seeing two grown men being beaten up badly by a beautiful young woman like her, the police called an ambulance for them.

No matter the suspects' identities, the police would always respond to their responsibility as law enforcers and save the injured.

As for the woman that jumped into the river, they had initiated a search party to find her.

"You said these men are kidnappers? What about the victim?"

"I asked the boy to hide. I'll find him." Reminded by the police, Kendall turned on her heel immediately to find Scott.

She would leave other things to the authorities since they were here.

The strong connections of the Ford Family must have made it known to the family head about the situation. After all, it was related to Scott, the young master of the Ford Family.

Once the Fords arrived, the two men would be unable to escape the punishment.

As for Kendall, the heroine with her courageous deeds would also need to make a statement at the police station.

Scott was hiding in the weeds at half the height of a human when he heard Kendall looking for him. He sneaked out from the weeds to greet her. "Pretty Lady, I'm here!"

"Little One!" Kendall hurried over and held him in her arms. However, he was so adorable that she couldn't restrain herself from pressing a few kisses onto his cheek.

At that moment, pure happiness blossomed in her heart as the boy was finally saved this time. It was nothing like her previous life, in which the family head had to face his only son's dead body after everything.

"Pretty Lady, did you chase the bad guys away?"

"The police are here. They will take the bad guys away," Kendall comforted him as she began to walk back to the scene.

Coming back with a little boy, Kendall had managed to earn the trust of the police with her statements. After all, the rented bicycle and fishing kits on the riverbank were another solid evidence of her identity.

The men were carried into the ambulance once they arrived at the scene. One of the police turned to her and suggested, "Miss, are you going with them? I can see you are hurt too."

Wiping away the sweat from her face, Kendall answered, "I'm fine. The blood belongs to them. Oh, right. By the way, the name's Parker."

"Miss Parker, are you sure you are fine?"

"Of course. The victory is mine."

The police choked on her words. There's no such thing as the winner won't hurt themself in the battle.

However, Kendall was indeed unscathed in the fight. Other than the bloodstain on her face and her clothes, and the messy hair, she looked fine.

What an amazing woman Miss Parker is. Even the two grown men are no match for her.

"Miss Parker, I suppose you know how to fight?"

"Yeah. I know a few tricks of kickboxing and taekwondo."

"No wonder you can subdue them." A few police officers gave her the thumbs up. Not only is she young and beautiful, she knows combat skills too. It's too bad she didn't become a police officer.

At that moment, a group of helicopters came into their view and caught their attention before eventually hovering on the riverbank.

Scott was in Kendall's arms when he saw the helicopters. He turned to her and exclaimed, "Pretty Lady, that must be my dad! He has many helicopters like this and likes to travel in them."

The police were shocked to hear his innocent statements.

He likes to travel in his helicopter?! He has many helicopters at home?!

At that moment, they knew they had to agree with the kidnappers' taste, which explained why the kidnappers would choose the boy as their target. They no doubt can get a high ransom from the family. Well, a funeral too.

Half an hour later, the people involved all went back to the police station. Most of them were related to the Fords. It wasn't an exaggerated statement to say there weren't enough seats for them.

Kendall left them to make a statement.

Scott was sitting on his father's lap as he retold his father the story without wanting to stop. Throughout his story-telling, the boy was generous in complimenting his savior, Kendall, but not without praising himself too.

"Dad, I was very brave and calm today!" Once the little chatterbox had enough of repeating his glorious achievement, he raised his head to face his handsome father. The longing for his father's praise was all written in his pair of dark and round eyes, which were shining in anticipation.

The head of the Ford Family was a man around his mid-thirties. Judging from Scott's adorable face, one could simply know he inherited the gene from his parents. The family head was indeed good-looking, even though he had a similar cold look as Dylan.

Even though he learned that Kendall had saved his son by chance, the head of the Ford Family's expression never softened at her. However, he thanked her with sincerity a few times.

"You did well." Eric Ford lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Scott's face.

He was grateful that his son ended up unscathed with Kendall's help. Fortunately, Miss Parker was there to fish at the moment and is also good at fighting. That's why Scott is saved. Or else, it would be too late when he arrived with his men at the scene.

Thinking of the unbearable consequence, Eric held his son tighter to let the boy lean against him.

He thought of his comatosed wife. She would be mad at me if she wakes up and finds out I lost our child.

"Miss Parker, I really appreciate your help." Once again, Eric expressed his gratitude for Kendall.

"You're welcome, it's all because the little one is smart too."

Eris looked down and observed Scott. Patting the boy's head with affection, he allowed the silence to fall.

Kendall could tell he wasn't a talkative man.

After she finished giving the statement, Kendall stopped abruptly when she was stepping out of the police station, because she found out Dylan and Ronnie were waiting for her.

The cold look on Dylan's face made her wonder, Who has a colder face? Is it Dylan or Eric?

Meanwhile, Dylan's expression sank when he saw the bloodstains on her clothes and face.

"D-Dylan! Y-You're here!" She stuttered to greet him.

Even though she could give plausible reasons for her presence at the scene and nobody would ever doubt her, things were different with Dylan.

At that, Kendall groaned, No way! I don't want to write a reflection of ten thousand words again!
