Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 632

Chapter 632 Roger in a Hurry

"Dad," Kelly said.

Hearing that, everyone knew Adam was home.

"Kendall, your father's home. Now you and Dylan should leave. You guys are bothering me, and the kitchen's really hot."

Charlotte chased Kendall out again, but Kendall took another bite out of her cooking before she left, much to Charlotte's amusement. She was happy that Kendall had a good appetite despite her pregnancy. It would be better if she had no morning sickness. She has a good baby in that case.

Kelly, on the other hand, was different. She had a few cases of morning sickness and quickly healed up, but her appetite never did come back. Even though she was a few months pregnant, she barely gained any weight. Despite her distaste for Kelly's promiscuous lifestyle and sudden pregnancy, Charlotte still felt for her. Every time Kelly came back, she would tell the cook to make something good for her. Yet every time she served the soup for Kelly, Kelly would complain about it being too oily and ditch it after a while.

The soups weren't oily at all; Kelly's appetite was just bad. Charlotte didn't go with her for any checkups, so she had no idea how Kelly's baby was doing. Kelly said she could deal with it herself. She was an adult now, and she wasn't their real daughter, so after she told them to stay out of her business, they did.

"Dad."

"You're back, Adam."

Kendall and Dylan greeted Adam at the same time.

Adam was all smiles. At his age, the one thing he wanted was a happy reunion. Even if it was only for dinner, that much was enough for him. At least Adam could still see his daughters at work, and Dylan came for visits a lot. He knew his daughter was doing well, but Charlotte could only pray that Kendall came once in a while.

Adam sat down and asked Kelly, "Are you alright, Kelly?"

Kendall put on a sheepish look and looked at Kelly's foot. It was still swollen, and Kendall thought, Serves you right. She stomped Kelly because Kelly tried to trip her up. Kendall felt no guilt at all.

"It's alright. I've used some salve on it. Hurts a bit, but it should be okay in a couple of days." Kelly looked at Kendall. "Don't blame yourself for this, Kendall. I know you didn't mean it."

Kendall sat down beside her father. "Oh, I don't blame myself at all."

Kelly shut up. Dylan shot her a look, and Kelly's smile froze. She then kept quiet. Dylan took a seat, and Kendall got up to get Adam and Dylan a glass of water each. When she came back, her phone rang.

Dylan took the glasses of water from her. "Who's that?" he asked.

"No idea." Kendall took her phone.

Kelly was jealous that Dylan was treating Kendall so nicely. Every time she saw Dylan, her legs would tremble, yet Kendall could get along with him nicely. What was more, she could act like a child around him. Dylan only was nice to her. She was the only one he cared about. No other woman could pique his interest. Kelly was jealous of Kendall for having someone that loyal. I'm also part of this family. Why can't I have happiness too? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"It's Roger." Kendall left the lounge. "Hey, Roger."

"Do you have time to talk, Kendall? Where are you? This is urgent."

Kendall quickly said, "I'm at home, getting ready for dinner. Oh, you should come. We'll wait. So, what's the situation?"

Roger said, "Emma just sent some photos to me. It's about her checkup. They suspect a case of PMME. I had no idea this kind of cancer existed until moments ago, and it's the kind that spreads fast. Good thing there's medication for it, but it's in Imperia. She even told me to give up on her. She doesn't want to drag me down and wants me to find someone better and forget about her. How can I? I can't just leave when she needs me the most, but her phone's turned off. I went to her place and asked the guard, but they told me she's not home. I have no idea where she is. You're the only one who might know. Please, ask Dylan to search for her. She might… She might end herself."

Roger was distraught. Nothing could calm him right now.

Kendall was shocked. In disbelief, she said, "Are you sure? There's no way she has cancer. She

doesn't look sick at all. Maybe it's a fluke. Sometimes the doctors might misdiagnose." She even took me to Empire Holdings earlier. "She didn't even tell me she had cancer, and I'm her friend. Are you sure that's real?"

Blast. She's probably using this to test Roger and Toddy. Any man would back off if they realize the woman they want to date is dying soon. Nobody's going to waste time and money on her. This is a good trial to see who genuinely likes her.

"The results are from Orapolis General Hospital. That's the best hospital around." Roger hoped this was fake. It would be great if this was just a test. Anything was better than Emma having cancer.

"Alright, calm down. I'll ask Dylan to help you look for Emma. She's a tough woman. She's seen things, so this won't break her. Maybe she just wants some time alone," said Kendall.

If Emma were here, she would say, "Hey, my phone died after I texted Roger. The call with Toddy's mom went on for a bit. I didn't mean it."

"How can I calm down? What if she kills…"

"She won't. She's seen things you can't even imagine, and this isn't even an actual diagnosis. Even if it were, she could still face it calmly. She won't kill herself over a disease." Kendall knew Emma well. Emma had been working for Dylan for years. She couldn't have done that if she wasn't tough enough, and Dylan trusted her too. "You should come over and have dinner. We'll wait for the news. I'll tell Dylan right now."

Roger hated how powerless he felt. He had no one to turn to but Dylan. If it were Toddy, he would have found Emma right away. Roger had to admit that Toddy was better than he was.
