Chapter 509
"Rest well, Nelson."
Nelson was already telling Dylan to go, so Dylan wasn't going to linger around.
He didn't have much to say to these two brothers-in-law of his.
His regard for them stemmed solely from their connection to Kendall.
Dylan wheeled himself out.
Nelson watched him leave with an indecipherable expression.
Kendall and the others were waiting outside.
When Dylan came out, Kendall walked over to him. "Dylan."
"Nelson wants to rest, Kendall. Let's go home now. We'll come again another day when we're free," Dylan said calmly.
Kendall glanced into the room and saw that Nelson had his eyes closed, so she didn't go in again.
She wheeled Dylan over to her parents and said, "Mom, Dad, Roger, we're leaving now. Call us if you need anything."
Milo acknowledged with a nod and added, "Nothing much is happening now. You can just focus on work without worrying about Nell. The doctor said that he'll be discharged soon."
Sally looked as if she had something to say, but she didn't voice it after receiving a couple of looks from Milo.
Roger went to see Kendall and Dylan off.
Once the couple was gone, Milo turned to Sally. "Were you going to bring up Jackson to Kendall just now?"
Jackson was still in custody awaiting trial for beating Nelson up.
The Whittles hadn't given up yet. Every few days, someone would come to the hospital to plead with the Woodses to write a formal letter of forgiveness so that Jackson could get a lighter sentence.
None of the Woodses could stand the sight of them anymore.
"Jackson's still the father of Kelly's child. What a cruel twist of fate."
Mothers were always constantly worried about something or another.
Now that Nelson was almost fully recovered, Sally started worrying about Kelly.
"Why does that change anything? Are you thinking about forgiving them just because Nelson is better now? Nelson nearly died! No matter what, I refuse to forgive Jackson. Even if the Whittles or Kelly comes to plead his case, you'd better refuse them. You can't forgive them."
"Calm down, Milo," Sally quickly said. "I didn't say I wanted to forgive him. I just feel bad for Kelly. She's so stubborn. Even now, she still insists on keeping the baby. She's going to become a single mother."
"Why do you feel bad for her? It was her choice. We didn't raise her, and she doesn't consider us her parents, so why waste time with all these unnecessary concerns?"
Milo was even more aggravated at the mention of Kelly.
"Okay, okay. I won't bring her up again. Calm down."
Sally was fully aware of how reprehensible Kelly's actions were. Although she cared very deeply for her, Kelly hadn't even called her Mom before.
"When she brought Mrs. Whittle over the last time, it seemed as if she wasn't interested in saving Jackson either. Since she's not trying to do anything for the sake of the child, why should we worry on her behalf? She's already…"
Milo didn't continue.
He already heard about Kelly's relationship with Brian.
Milo couldn't believe that his daughter was such a person. Neither one of his sons behaved in this manner, and it didn't make sense to say that the Parkers did a poor job teaching her.
He knew that the Parkers had put a lot of effort into raising Kelly well.
Whatever. Stop thinking about her. It just makes me angrier.
As for my grandchild… Hah. Even if Kelly gave birth to a child, she probably wouldn't want the child to acknowledge us as grandparents anyway. She only recognizes the Parkers as her family.
I might as well hope for Kendall to have a child sooner rather than later if I want to experience being a grandpa.
Kendall didn't know that her parents got into a tiny fight because of Kelly after she left.
"What did Nell talk to you about?" Kendall asked Dylan.
"He asked me if you suffered any grievances lately."
"You didn't tell him, right?"
Dylan tightened his grip around her hand and answered in a low voice, "No. Nell said he'll always be your brother."
"He has always been my brother."
Kendall found it odd that Nelson made such a statement.
Dylan smiled and kissed her cheek. He didn't tell her that Nelson once developed romantic feelings for her.
Kendall saw her two brothers as nothing more than brothers.
It's better if I don't tell her about this. When it came to this, both Dylan and Nelson saw eye to eye.
"Hubby, I want to head over to Mendelson Residence."
Dylan's eyes glittered. "Trying to seek justice on my behalf?"
Kendall wrapped her arms around his neck. Her gentle, delicate features captivated Dylan. He gulped. They were in the car right now, and Ronnie and the driver were in the car with them. He couldn't give in to his urge to push her down in the backseat and indulge in a bout of passion.
"You're protective of me, and I'm just as protective as you. Giving is a two-way street."
Dylan smiled. He couldn't resist her loveliness and started kissing her.
After the kiss, he said hoarsely, "I'm happy that you want to stand up for me, but you don't need to start a fight with Frank. You can't defeat him. I'm also worried that he'll stop you from leaving once you're there."
Frank would love to have Kendall come over alone to see him.
Kendall couldn't defeat Frank. If Frank decided to take it seriously, he could easily overpower Kendall and lock her up inside his house.
Frank was a lunatic, and Dylan wouldn't bet on the chances that Frank would remain a gentleman.
"I won't be going over by myself. You're coming with me. You can wait outside while I bring Ronnie and the others in with me. Your face was all red and swollen because of him. I can't rest until I teach him a
lesson for you. He's despicable. Here we are happily married, and he comes along and insists on trying to get between us. He's the reason for all our suffering. I don't like bearing grudges, but that's only because I'd much rather take my revenge right away."
She wasn't in Orapolis when the two men got into a fight, so she had made a mental note of it first.
Now that she was back, it was time to settle the score with Frank.
"Okay," Dylan said with a smile.
Kendall heading over to stand up for Dylan would only end up twisting the knife further into Frank's heart.
This should be enough to force him to give up now, right?
"Take us to Mendelson Residence," Dylan instructed the driver.
The driver acknowledged his command and changed to a different route.
Kendall and Dylan brought their bodyguards with them as they headed straight for Mendelson Residence.
Desmond was dumbfounded when he heard the news.
He was still in disbelief as he grabbed the bodyguard who brought the message. "Who did you say is here?"
"Miss Kendall Parker. She said she wants to see Mr. Mendelson."
"Did she come by herself?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"No. Mr. Coleman is with her, but he didn't get out of the car. Miss Kendall came down with a few of Mr. Coleman's bodyguards."
Desmond frowned. "She must be here to take revenge on Mr. Mendelson. What's with this couple anyway? Why are they so petty? Mr. Coleman has already settled the score with Mr. Mendelson. Miss Kendall is also trying to get even as soon as she comes back."
Mr. Mendelson's going to get hurt again.
Why is it that Mr. Mendelson's always the one who gets hurt?
"Should I let her in, Mr. Desmond?" the bodyguard asked.
"See if you can get Miss Kendall to come in alone without the Colemans' bodyguards following her in," Desmond instructed.
Although Miss Kendall knows a bit of taekwondo, she still won't be able to beat Mr. Mendelson.
