Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 640 Putting on an Act

Kelly was already a few months into her pregnancy, yet her baby bulge was barely visible. Sally was worried Kelly

might be malnourished, but she couldn't blame the Parkers for not taking care of her daughter. She knew Kelly and

the Parkers' relationship was tense. Most of it was Kelly's fault, though. Sally had a lot to say, and she had advice for

Kelly, but Kelly never saw Sally as her mother. Even if Sally had advice, Kelly wouldn't listen. She would only see

Sally as a nuisance and stay away from her.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking," Kelly said coolly, ending the conversation.

Milo and Nelson merely glanced at Kelly and said nothing.

Kelly then turned to Nelson, asking, "Are you feeling better, Nelson?" She could never call the Woods couple 'Dad'

and 'Mom,' but she didn't mind addressing Nelson.

"Still alive," Nelson answered coolly, making her clueless on how to respond to that for a moment.

He almost died because of me. Kelly took that attitude and said, "You should get some rest. Don't push yourself. I'll

get you some supplements before you go home."

"No need for that. Kendall gave me a lot of that already. Can't even finish it," he refused her offer without

hesitation.

He was still annoyed by the fact that Kelly had led Rosemi to him when he was in the hospital. They wanted him to

sign a letter of understanding so Jackson would receive a lighter sentence or even get all his charges cleared. He

almost died for Kelly. If she had an ounce of conscience, she wouldn't have led Rosemi to him right after he got out

of the woods. She might not have said anything or pushed him into signing the papers, but it still bothered him

nonetheless. Does she have no idea how much we hated the Whittles back then?

Kelly went silent again. Alright, this is awkward. Fortunately, Charlotte announced that breakfast was ready just

then, and Kelly got out of that situation.

They then had a merry breakfast.

"We've got to leave soon, or the sun's going to burn us. I've prepared everything." Charlotte told Sally, "So, you

don't have to bring anything."

Sally was looking forward to this outing as well. She asked, "Are you coming with us, Kelly?"

"I'll pass. I've been busy all week. It's not every day I get a day off, so I'd like to rest. Besides, my baby hates it when

I go out for too long. Wouldn't stop kicking me even when I was just going around in a car." She caressed her belly,

love filling her eyes. "I bet it's a cheeky baby. I hope it takes after me." That way, at least my biological family will

like it. If it takes after Jackson, everyone's going to hate it.

Kendall sneered silently. Kelly's son took after Jackson a lot. The only thing he took after his mother was his skin

tone. He was fair and chubby, all thanks to his parents' love and care. On the other hand, Kendall was the only one

who cared about her daughter. No one else. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach and moaned.

Everyone turned their attention to Kendall right that instant.

Worried, Dylan held her. There was terror in his eyes as he asked, "Are you alright? Is something wrong with your

stomach?"

This could be a miscarriage. Grandma did warn me that I shouldn't touch her for three months, or I might cause a

miscarriage. He had also gone through some books about pregnancy and knew that the first trimester was when

miscarriages happened the most.

Kendall pinched him subtly. This is just an act, you worrywart.

He froze for a moment before realizing what was going on. Still, he was worried. That's some really good acting. I

almost had a heart attack.

The Parkers and the Woodses quickly huddled around Kendall. Even Kelly fixed her gaze on the moaning woman.

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach… It's churning all of a sudden. Probably something I ate. I need to use the bathroom." She ran into

the bathroom while clutching her stomach.

Knowing that she was pregnant, Sally and Charlotte were worried something was happening to the baby. However,

Kelly was around, so they couldn't ask. Kendall didn't want Kelly to know about her pregnancy yet.

Dylan sighed. "It's probably because of the food. She ate a lot, after all."

Now that he mentioned it, he might be right, everyone in the room thought in unison.

Initially, Kelly suspected that Kendall was pregnant, but after hearing Dylan's words, she remembered Kendall

wolfing down a lot of food. She sure can eat. Kendall's married to the richest man around and has probably given

the best food every day. Yet, she still eats like a pig. Wonder how the Colemans tolerate her.

Kendall stayed in the bathroom for a while. When she came out, she was rubbing her stomach, looking unwell.

Charlotte approached her. "Are you alright, Kendall? Was that really just you eating too much?"

Sally approached Kendall as well.

Charlotte then whispered, "No bleeding, I hope."

"Yeah. Just had a bit too much to eat. I don't think I can go on the road trip. Why don't we cancel it? Ouch, my

stomach's churning again. Bathroom." Kendall clutched her stomach and went back into the bathroom.

The ladies exchanged a look of exasperation. Afterward, Kendall took a few more bathroom breaks. Noticing

Kendall's discomfort, Adam said, "Dylan, take her to the hospital."

Dylan put on an act as well. He looked a little worried. "But what about the road trip?"

"We can't go on the road trip when we know Kendall might be unwell. Just take her to the hospital."

Adam was worried Kendall might suffer a miscarriage, so he urged Dylan to take Kendall to the hospital. With that,

he had lost all mood to go on a road trip. The Colemans and the Parkers were looking forward to the baby, and

Adam wouldn't allow anything to happen to it.

"Yes, Dylan. Take her to the hospital. She needs to see a doctor."

Everyone was asking Dylan to do the same thing, so when Kendall came out of the bathroom again, he took her

away and told his bodyguards to take them to the hospital. However, of course, they were going somewhere else.

Once they were out of the villa, Dylan pinched Kendall's cheek softly. "I would've dealt with them myself if I had

known this was your plan. You almost scared me to death."

She put her hands on her belly and smiled. "That's the only way to make them cancel the trip. They have to worry

about me." There's no way they have the mood to go on a trip after that.
